"Mr. Zelgadiss?" Amelia was stunned. She couldn't believe her eyes.
"Amelia what are you doing here?" Grey let go of Zel's hand and walked over to Amelia.
"Well I was going to help this boy to find his parents...... oh." Amelia went quiet. Her mind hadn't been working until that moment. Grey where tugging at her hand. She looked down and saw how much he looked like Zel, well Grey didn't have the stones and the blue skin. 'Mr. Zelgadiss is a father? I should have known.' It was really quiet in the room until Amelia found the courage to speak again.
"So where is the mother?" She looked around. And then at the painting over the fireplace.
"It's a log story. And I really don't have the time right now." Zel seemed colder then usual. Grey were still tugging at her hand. Amelia kneeled down and smiled at Grey. She was giving one of her fake smiles again. She was heartbroken.
"Well Grey I'd better be going. Your father seems busy and now your home." Grey looked really sad. And without warning he hugged Amelia. Amelia hugged back and then stood up and looked over at Zel.
"Maybe I'll se you around. We haven't seen each other in over 5 years. I think I know why now. Bye Grey. Bye Mr. Zelgadiss." She tried to smile but she couldn't she left the same way she came. And as soon as she was out in the forest again she started to cry.
(A few minutes earlier)
Zel was in his lab when his son came in and started tugging at his shirt. He smiled at him and kneeled down.
"What is it Gray?" The boy made some hand movements and Zel nodded.
"Ok, I'll be right there. I just have to finish something first." Zel stood up and went back to his work. 'I wonder why he doesn't want to talk.' He felt Grey tug at his shirt again. He sighed a little but then turned around.
"Ok, what is it you want to show me?" Grey grabbed his fathers hand and started leading him to the living room. Zel started thinking about how all this started. 'Soon it will be five years ago'
-------Flashback--------
Zel walked into a small town. It was already dark.
"I'd better find an Inn." It didn't take long. It was a rather small Inn but that was just fine for Zel. He rented a room and went upstairs to put his things away before he got something to eat. The dining room was almost empty. It wasn't that surprised, it was almost midnight. He ordered some coffee and just sat there. After a while a young woman came up to his table.
"Mind if I sit down?" Zel was really tempted to say yes but he didn't. So he just said.
"Do as you wish." And continued to drink his coffee. The woman sat down, she was wearing a short black dress ,and had brown curly hair and green eyes.
"My name is Isabelle. What yours if I may ask?" She smiled at him. Zel was becoming weary uncomfortable.
"Zelgadiss." He didn't look up from his coffee. Isabelle waved a waiter over and ordered some wine. After a couple of drinks they both started to become rather talkative. Zel didn't remember why he started to drink the wine but he did.
The next morning he woke up with a splitting headache. He didn't remember what had happened after the wine but he was alone in his room so he guessed that they just had talked and so on. Ha was relived.
He decided to stay in the town. He didn't really know why but it seemed like a calm place and it had a really big magic library.
Nine months lather Isabelle came to his door and was holding something. It was a baby.
"He's yours. I can't take care of him so here you go." She handed him the baby. Zel was in shock.
"But we....I men..." Isabelle looked at him coldly.
"We did. But you was probably to drunk to remember."
"Well you weren't there the morning after ether so how could I have known?" Isabelle didn't say anything fore a long while.
"Bye Zelgadiss. We will not meet again." Then she left. She didn't look back when the baby started to cry. She just walked away.
------------------------
Zel looked down at his son again. 'And he was the result' He smiled.
"What is it you what to show me Grey? You didn't bring home any animals this time did you? Because you..... Amelia?"
Amelia had been running for a while now. She fell down on her knees and sobbed. 'He has a son. He really don't love me. I wonder where his wife was. Well it doesn't matter.'
"How com that I'm not that surprised? I'm only sad. There is no use any longer..... he don't want me." She stood up and started walking towards the city of White magic, her home, her duty and to marry someone she didn't even love.
Her father was really glad to see his little daughter again.
"I didn't think you'd be back yet. But I'm really glad to see you." He gave her one of his feared bear-hugs. Amelia just smiled.
"I missed you to dad."
"So how did it go with Mr. Zelgadiss? Did you find him?" Amelia felt her smile disappear.
"Yes I found him..... but that's not important." Amelia forced a smile so her father wouldn't worry.
"I'm going to freshen up before dinner daddy. See you then." Her father smiled back.
"Ok Amelia."
At the dinner table Prince Phil talked to Amelia about the suitors. And that now that she was home they the could start the search again. Amelia just nodded. She had other things on her mind. 'Zelgadiss....'
"Amelia what are you doing here?" Grey let go of Zel's hand and walked over to Amelia.
