Zelgadiss walked though the gardens barefoot, even after all these years he still reveled in being able to feel the grass on his feet. It was a beautiful day and a warm breeze caressed his face. He only just avoided stepping on a red rubber ball, did he have to lecture Gracia again on leaving her toys lying around?
Although his hearing was not nearly as acute as it used to be he still heard the strangely familiar sound behind him.
He turned to face it and almost fell over when he saw Xellos standing right behind him.
"Why hello Zelgadiss! Or should I say prince Zelgadiss."
Zelgadiss rolled his eyes.
"Xellos-"
"Oh you remember me?" he interrupted him "yes I'm exactly the way you remember me, although I see you've changed quite a bit since we last saw each other all those years ago, and I'm not just talking about age."
Zelgadiss now stood just as tall as Xellos and he did wear the white and gold robes of Sailoon. Zelgadiss told him self he should have known Xellos would pop up in his life again… he wasn't that lucky.
"What is the meaning of this Xellos?"
"Can't a friend come and visit another friend?"
"We were never 'friends'. And when ever you show up trouble usually isn't far behind."
"So you finally found your cure." Xellos said conversationally
"No thanks to you."
"I don't think you would have appreciated my 'helping'." Said Xellos winking.
Zelgadiss blushed very slightly in spite of himself.
"So you knew what it was all along?"
Xellos nodded smirking.
"Finally loosened up eh?"
"Who's this daddy?" the small voice came from a girl behind Xellos. She looked about 10 and had the large blue eyes of her mother, pale skin and at the moment had the no-nonsense expression of her dad. Her hair was a darker purple even then her fathers, which splayed out at the sides and a fringe, which almost fell over one eye. Gracia Del Greywoods Sailoon peered up at Xellos who snapped shut his eyes
"Gracia come here."
She went to her father who put a hand on her shoulder protectively.
"Daddy? My heavens it's hard to believe. And named after the missing princess."
"Err yes…" Yes Gracia, or Nahga, had shown up a year after Amelia daughter was born. It had been quite a shock for Zel to meet the woman his little girl was named after. But rather then take up her place in line for the throne she visited her sister and brother in-law in secret and had left to adventure again.
"Mommy's looking for you dad." She said watching the man who her father obviously didn't like and looked far too happy-for-no-reason for her liking and there was something about his eyes (when she had seen them) that she didn't trust.
"Yes Zelgadiss let's go see Amelia, I would like to talk to you both.
Just to fill people in Xellos has been busy and not really keeping up with 'current events' so some surprises are in store, Lina and Gourry do have a kid who will (hopefully) be introduced in the next chapter.
