Grey sat up in his bed and screamed. Zel looked over at his son and then walked over to the bed and sat down.
"Grey, what's wrong? Did you have a bad dream?" Grey was breathing really fast. Like he had been really frightened. He nodded and then started to make fast hand movements.
"Calm down Grey. I can't keep up with you." Grey took a few deep breaths and started to explain to his father about the dream he had.
"You dreamt abut Amelia? And she was lost somewhere... and then there were a fire... and a lot of people were burned? And there were a scary guy that tried to hurt Amelia?" Zel went quiet. 'That was a to complicated dream to be his own. I wonder...?' Zel reached over towards Grey to brush the hair away from his forehead. There were three marks there and they had a faint glow to them. 'Like I thought.' Grey looked curious at his dad. Zel gave him a small smile.
"There is nothing to worry about Grey. It was just a bad dream nothing ells." Grey smiled back and nodded.
"Are you hungry Grey" Grey nodded even more. And jumped out of the bed and ran over to the door. Zel smiled again and followed. 'I wonder who had that dream...?'
The day's passed and Amelia was just getting worse. The people didn't know about the Princess illness. The council said it was for the best that they didn't know just jet. Morgan was always by Amelia's side. And Lina and Gourry were taking turns. Lina didn't want to leave Amelia alone with Morgan one single minute. It was Lina who were there at the moment. She was reading a book on ancient spells and sicknesses. Morgan was just staring in front of him. He had a frown planted on his face. And it was annoying Lina.
"Maybe you should get some rest Morgan. It won't do any good just sitting here. And I bet the council would like to talk to you about the marriage." Morgan blinked a few times.
"Eh...- what?"
"I mean with Amelia this sick she probably wont be able to marry you on the date you set... so the council would probably want to talk to you." Lina never lifted her eyes from the book. Morgan raised an eyebrow.
"If they want to talk to me they'll probably send someone to fetch me." Lina just nodded then pointed to the door. Morgan turned around and only a few seconds later there were a knock on the door. Morgan jumped a little then he told the person to enter. It was one of the guards.
"The council would like to talk to you." Morgan's eyes went wide and the he glanced at Lina. She was smiling like a cat and waved to him.
"See you later Morgan." Morgan sweat dropped and walked over to the guard. And when they had left Lina stopped smiling.
"I don't like that guy one bit..." She sighed.
"I don't get it. No healer can help you and no one can even figure out what it is you have. I'm getting really tiered of this!" Lina threw the book away and it hit something on Amelia's dresser. Lina sweat dropped and walked over to it to see if she caused any damage. On the floor lay one of Amelia's talismans and a drawing of the whole gang. Lina picked them up and smiled. She couldn't believe that she had actually got Zel to pose for it to. She laughed. She could remember what a fight Zel had put up. But after a dozen Justice speeches Zel had finally given in.
"I wonder where he is... I haven't seen him for over 5 years. I wonder what's he's up to?" she sat the picture down on the dresser and lay the talisman down besides it.
"Hey! Maybe Zel can help! He's really good at all that research stuff." Lina smiled.
"What do you think about that Amelia? Doesn't that sound like a good idea?" She looked over at the sleeping princess. She wasn't having any bad dreams now. Not like the first day. She was really pale and her hair had lost its shine. It pained Lina to see her best friend like that. She walked over to the door and opened it. She told the guard not to let Morgan inside at any cost. And that one of Amelia's closest maids should be sent there to look after Amelia when Lina and Gourry was gone. The guard nodded at the petit sorceress. She was little but very dangerous. All living people that were occupied in Serrun would know that. Lina walked of to get Gourry and to tell Prince Phil about her idea.
Lina and Gourry were walking the streets of Serrun a couple of hours later. They were told that Zel was probably some were in the city. It was good, but also very annoying. The city was Huge. How were they supposed to find Zelgadis in a city that big?
"I'm going insane! We don't even know where to start!" Lina sat down on a bench and frowned. Gourry sat down besides her.
"Well we could start with the inns and taverns right Lina? If he is here he probably would need a place to stay right?" Lina blinked a few times then hit Gourry over the head.
"Of course he would Gourry but don't you understand that in this city there would be over 300 of those places. Where would we start?" Gourry rubbed his now sore head. Then he pointed across the street.
"How about that one?" It was a fairly small inn. Lina sighed then stood and started to walk towards the inn. Gourry blinked then stood and ran after the small reed head.
"Hey Lina wait for me!" when the well were inside Lina walked towards the dining area.
"Um... Lina, weren't we supposed to look for Zel?" Gourry trailed behind Lina.
"That's what I'm doing Gourry. And I'm just checking this area first. And while we are here we can get something to eat. No idea to walk around town on an empty stomach." Lina sat down at an empty table and waved a waiter over.
"Can I take you're order miss?"
"Humm... I would like everything on the menu." The waiter wrote it down.
"And you?" The waiter glanced at Gourry.
"Same as her."
"Right... I'll be right back with you're orders." The waiter walked away and Lina glanced at him.
"That was a first... he didn't shout or anything. He must be really stupid or he's seen something that's changed his way of seeing things. I guess the first one." Lina smiled and looked around the dining room. It was almost full and the waiters were scrambling around like dizzy chickens.
"I have a strong feeling that we'll have to wait." She sighed. It was a good thing that she had something to eat before they left or she would have become violent. They sat there for a couple of minutes and like out of nowhere a boy about five years old stood at their table staring at them. Lina glanced at him and then looked away. When she looked at him again he was still staring at her.
"What?! Why are you staring at me?" The boy made a couple of hand movements and Lina just looked lost.
"And what is that supposed to mean?"
"He said that you remembered him of someone." Gourry said flatly. Lina looked at him stunned.
"How do you know what he said?" Gourry looked like he was thinking.
"I had a friend when I was little that lost his voice. He had to learn to communicate with his hands fore anyone to understand him. And I helped him and I also learned in the process." Lina's head hit the table hard.
"I can't believe that you actually remember something like that." Gourry just surged and paid his attention to the boy.
"You probably had a bad dream about a monster or something and it looked something like her." The boy's eyes got wide when he looked over at Lina again.
"Gourry..." Lina looked really scary and both the boy and Gourry cringed. The boy turned around and ran over to someone standing by the bar talking to the innkeeper. He was wearing black pants and a blue turtleneck shirt and had black half fingered gloves. He was standing in the shadows so you couldn't se he's face. The boy started to thug at the man's shirt and when the man turned his face his face came out into the light. Lina gaped and then shouted.
"Zelgadis!?"
Zelgadis turned his head to the voice and made a face.
"Grate. Just the person I didn't want to meet right now."
"A friends of yours Mr. Zelgadis?" The innkeeper asked and looked over at Lina and Gourry.
"Sort of... I guess we'll be staying a couple of days extra."
"Were glad to have you two here Mr. Zelgadis." The innkeeper smiled and Zel just nodded. He was concentrating on Grey at the moment.
"Those two were in you're dream to?" Zel looked a little taken back. 'Then it had to be a scary dream. But I wonder who dreamt it...'
Zel picked Gray up and walked over to the table that Lina and Gourry were sitting at. Well Lina was standing and gaping at the moment. Gourry waved and just looked like his normal oblivious self.
"Hiya Zel. How's it going?"
"Fine Gourry."
"Zel... who is that?" Lina pointed at a very frightened Grey.
"This is Grey... my son."
"Grey, what's wrong? Did you have a bad dream?" Grey was breathing really fast. Like he had been really frightened. He nodded and then started to make fast hand movements.
"Calm down Grey. I can't keep up with you." Grey took a few deep breaths and started to explain to his father about the dream he had.
