Chapter 2

            Filia was sweeping up a vase she had broke earlier when she had overheard some customers gossiping.  Usually she would feel bad for eavesdropping but at the moment she was so mixed between being confused and mad, that she hadn't even thought about feeling guilty.  The shock of the word maybe being in danger again had made her drop it.  The new rumor was that there was a new prophecy and that the vision had been made to a Mazoku.  Even worse it was said that the Mazoku was a Dark lord.  But which Dark Lord was had to tell for there were rumors stating that it had happened to Dark Lords she'd never even heard of.  It made her mad because things like prophecies from Cephied, or in the Mazokus' case Shabranigdo, weren't things to be talked about as gossip.  They were serious matters.

            Filia sighed and stopped sweeping.  Maybe she was just being uptight.  They were just rumors after all.  And why should she care, truthfully.  Besides the world being in danger, there wasn't really any reason to.  It wasn't as if the Supreme Elder of the Fire Dragon King Temple would be sending a messenger boy to her with a new mission.  She had left the Temple 2 years ago.

            Had it really been 2 years?  2 years since they had defeated Dark Star and saved the world from the last prophecy.  She missed them terribly.  She'd only seen them for Christmas, they made sure they all got together.  The only one of the group that she had seen more was the one person she didn't want to see.  Xellos Mettalium.  The namagomi trickster priest extraordinaire, with his smart ass replies and cocky comebacks.

            "Sore wa himitsu desu." She mocked.

            "No, no Fi-chan! You have it all wrong! You gotta put more feeling into it, otherwise it plain and boring…like you!"

            Speak of the devil.  Literally.

            "XELLOS?!  What are you doing here?!" Filia screamed.

            Xellos carefully stuck his finger in his ear and wiggled, as if to clear it of something.

            " Think you could tone it down a little Fi-chan?  I've become spoiled from not having to listen to your horrible screaming." He replied smoothly.

            Filia seethed in rage.  He would pay dearly…later.

            "What do you want Xellos?  Just visiting again?" She said sarcastically.

            "Well, actually…"

            Filia didn't even let me finish the sentence before she was hitting him with her mace.

            "Ouch Filia," Xellos moaned while rubbing it again. "Do it again…" he purred.

            "Oh, be quiet namagomi.  Really though.  Why are you here Xellos?  Another mission from the Mistress?"

            "Well…truthfully, and you know how rare that is, I'm here concerning a new prophecy."

            Filia just froze in fear.  If what he said was true than that meant that some of the rumors she had heard could be true too.

            "What exactly is the new prophecy?" She cautiously asked.

            She was almost afraid to even know.  Almost.

            " Well, I, myself didn't have the vision," he emphasized the word vision. " In truth my Mistress had the vision, and has ordered me to give you this." He handed her the piece of paper that held all the answers to her confused mind.

            " I haven't read yet either." He admitted.

            She gently took the paper from him and opened it up.

"There will come peace between all races,

The strongest shall become known.

The chosen will join forces,

To defeat a common enemy.

And the love of two enemies old,

Shall become their fate." She read aloud.

"What do you think it means Fi-chan?" Xellos whispered.

"What do YOU think it could means Xellos?" She asked back.  In truth though, she was wondering that very question.  The love of two enemies old? I wonder if that could mean the Ryuuzoku and the Mazoku.
