Slayers once again
Epilouge
"So…" What are we going do with him?" Zel asked, gesturing at Elerot, who was sitting at the table eating some random food off a breakfast plate. It was the morning after they had returned from their journey, and though Gourry, Lina, and Gina has returned to their home, and Filia Valgaarv, and Xelia to theirs, Zelgadiss, L-Sama, and Apparently Elerot had stayed the night at the palace.
"?" Amelia laughed, "I had forgotten about him!" "Everybody does." Elerot grumbled, taking another bite of an apple. "I think we should throw him in the dungeon." Gaene sulked, glaring at him. Elerot stopped, "Dungeon?" he squeaked, "Please don't throw me in the dungeon. I dislike dark cold places!" "Beheading then?" Gaene suggested. His eyes bugged out, "No not that either! Leave me alone. I can be a good boy I promise. Please?" He then turned to Amelia, who seemed to be the only compassionate person here, "I'm sorry for trying to kill you, honestly. Lemme make it up please?" Amelia looked down evenly at him, "How?" "I dunno….You have a need to for a court magician?" "Nah, that's Lina." Amelia smiled, "Although…I do have an opening…." "Really? Anything!" he grinned.
"As a court jester….."
"…D'oh…"

Filia sighed, "Finally, home…" The kids had ran ahead, but she was walking slowly, enjoying the sunset. "I wonder where Xelloss went though." She sulked. He had disappeared when they reached the palace, saying he needed to do something. That bugged her, "I wish he would start telling me these things. I would like to know where he is every once in a while." She grumbled to herself, as she turned the doorknob to let herself inside…And was met with a beautiful site.
Her entire living room was covered in roses, with dozens of candles burning slowly as the only light. And Xelloss stood in front of her, in a tuxedo and a smirk. "Welcome home Filia…" he dropped to one knee, and held out a ring, "Will you marry me?" The dragon priestess' eyes widened, "You…?" She threw her arms around him, "Yes. Yes I will!" He grinned, then slipped the ring on her finger, "Better?" She laughed, "Yes, much…"
Xelia grinned at her brother, from their hiding place behind the couch, "Toldja she'd say yes. It's meant to be. They can live happily ever after now." Val nodded, "Okay."

Martina dreaded going home. Back to the silent halls, where her child had once laughed and played. Zangulus squeezed her hand in comfort, as he opened the door, "I'm sorry Martina." She shook her head, "You have nothing to be sorry about. Things happen. I suppose I should just accept it. We should visit the doctor's tomorrow though, just to see if his condition's changed." Zangulus nodded, then kissed her softly.
The next morning, they walked to the doctor's place, which was actually an inn that had been revamped, and made their way to their son's room.
"Alex?" Martina said gently, poking her head through the door, "Are you awake?" To her surprise, he was, and not only that, the doctor was standing next to him. "Hi Mom, Dad." The 11 year old boy grinned at them. The doctor looked at them, "Ah yes, we were waiting for you." "How's he doing?" Zangulus asked carefully. "Actually, it's quite unexpected. His health has greatly improved, almost overnight. He's still not as strong as the other boys his age, but I think he may be able to go home. Quite miraculous actually." The doctor shook his head in disbelief. Martina's eyes widened, and she hugged her husband's arm happily, "Really?" "Yeah Mom. I'm feeling really good." Alex smiled, "It's kinda strange…" His eyes took on a faraway look. "I was dreaming. And a girl was there. She smiled at me and said "Everything was going to be alright." I had to believe her. And then I woke up. But I didn't hurt anymore." He grinned. Martina ran forward and hugged him, with Zangulus following suit.
Meanwhile The Lord of Nightmares looked down upon them and smiled.
"I could get to like this job…"
The end…honestly…..
Well, didja like it? Hate it? I loved writing it, but I'm sure glad it's over….I think. I wrote a prologue, 11 chapters, and an epilogue, and ya want to know what I wanna do now? Write a sequel ^_^;;;; 'Cause technically I didn't clear everything up. For one there's a big problem looming that won't get out of my mind. I never finished Amelia's story. This story was mostly focused on Filia (ah, you couldn't tell that, couldja? ^^)
The problem is I'm not sure what to do. I wrote myself into a corner. In real life, Amelia would never think of Zelgadiss again. She's a princess and a wife. She has responsibilities now. Going with Zel would mean abandoning her father, her children, her kingdom…and of course Gaene. But in Fanfictiondom, Of course you would want her to leave her arranged marriage and run off with Zelgadiss (Unless you hate that canon^^) So I really have no idea what to do. Some writer I am huh? ^^;;; So when (or if) you review, tell me what you think okay? Thank you!^_^ …So I guess this is me saying goodbye huh? *sniffle* oh well…..G'night everyone….
