A Perfect Ending
~~~~This fan fiction is focusing around Zelgadis and Amelia. It may also have some Lina and Gourry and maybe Valgarv and Filia. I hope you enjoy it. Bye bye!~~~~
The cold wind blew across the girls face causing her to turn her head slightly. A lone figure stood in the moonlight staring at her. His cold eyes burnt though her soul. He mouthed several words and then looked away. A small tear trickled down her face as he turned and walked away leaving her alone once again.
Amelia woke with a start. It had been almost 2 years since Zelgadis left to find a cure yet again. It was terribly lonely without him. After everyone had split up, things were always lonely. She longed to see any of them again in places besides her dreams. Most of all she wanted to see Zelgadis. It didn't matter if he was still a chimera or not. She just needed to see him and be able to talk to him again.
Amelia stepped out of her bed and onto the soft carpeted floor. She slowly dressed in a long and silky pink dress. The appropriate outfit for a princess. Not like that unjust outfit Martina would always wear. But suddenly she began to miss Martina as well.
Martina had went back to her home and was married to Zangulus about a year after their adventures. Their wedding had been a wonderful site, but in her heart she wished it could've been her and Zelgadis instead.
Lina and Gourry continued traveling together for they made such a good pair. Although their travels consisted of stealing and eating food it was still more a life then she had. She knew that deep inside both of them cared so much for each other, maybe that was why through every battle they fought they saved each other time after time.
Miss. Filia and Valgarv had been monitoring the activities of light and dark to make sure things wouldn't get out of hand. Oh and Valgarv is the way he used to be again. He really does grow fast. Miss. Filia has really taken a liking to having him around along with Jilias and Gravos.
Sypliel had remained in her newly rebuilt village and is now a teacher there. She has been teaching young students white magic basics. Sometimes she is even visited by Lina and Gourry. They must really like her because she's nice and can cook well. Oh and she adopted a homeless child in the village. I guess she eventually got lonely but it was kind of her to do such a thing.
Xelloss was still a Mazoku and still enjoyed playing tricks on everyone. But I heard from Miss. Lina that he has been a little better about saying "that is a secret" these days. As usual he mostly does tasks for "Lord Beatmaster".
Zelgadis also set out for a different adventure. Last time I heard from him he was traveling through the city of Alitina. He has heard several rumors of different cures and claims he will not quit till he finds one. But then again he hasn't stopped looking for the last 3 or so years.
"I sure do hope that everyone is doing fine", Amelia sighed and turned to stare out her window. Suddenly a smiling face was right up to hers. She jumped back in surprise and managed to trip over her dress as well.
"I'm really sorry to bother you Miss. Amelia. It's just been so long since I last saw you", the smiling figure jumped though the window. He stood staring at her for a second then helped her to her feet.
"Oh! Xelloss is that really you? It's been so long!", Amelia jumped up and hugged him tightly.
"Amelia you are holding a bit too tight", Xelloss replied with a somewhat choked voice. Amelia quickly let go and turned away.
"I'm sorry. It just it feels so good to see a familiar face."
"It's not a problem. Ah but Miss. Amelia I did hear that it will be your 18th birthday very soon.", Xelloss spoke cheerfully with his usual smile.
"Yes, you are correct...I just wish everyone was together. It isn't the same without everyone with me"
"Well that's where I come in handy. For your birthday present Miss. Amelia, I shall personally gather everyone together." Amelia turned and smiled. Xelloss could just see without her saying it, she was grateful.
"I will be taking leave then Miss. Princess of Saillune. I hope to see you soon" Xelloss jumped back out the window and quickly phased away.
Amelia stood there for a moment and smiled. She would be able to see Zelgadis again. I hope that everything had gone well with his search. Suddenly she remembered what he had said to her the day he left and she stifled a small cry. Maybe he wouldn't come, he didn't like her...that way and said he probably never would.
"Miss. Amelia? Your father requests your attendance" spoke one of Amelia's many servants.
"I'll be down in a few minutes. I need a few more minutes to get ready".
Amelia quickly slipped into a pair of rose colored high heels and hooked a long pearl necklace around her neck. She gently squeezed the necklace for comfort. It had been her mothers before...before she died. She carefully placed a small ring on her finger before leaving the comfort of her room. Although she didn't even have anything to remind her of her lost sister, only faded memories. Amelia walked gracefully down the flight of stairs to get to her father's room. Before entering she shyly knocked twice on the door.
"You may enter" replied the voice on the other side.
"Hello father. Good morning to you." Amelia walked in and sat next to him on his bed.
"How would you like to celebrate your 18th birthday Amelia?"
"I'm not quite sure. But is it ok Father if I don't have a large party. May I please just have my friends over?"
"That will be fine with me Amelia my dear. But you must remember we will be having a ball 3 days following your birthday. Then it will be the time for you to be married. For in law it says you must be married in the time of your 18th birthday."
"But Father! No man in this area loves me. They just want the kingdom! I can't marry any of them. Can't you extend the time for a bit longer?"
"I'm sorry Amelia dear but I can't do that. You know the law of Saillune states that you must be married in the time of your 18th birthday. There's nothing I can do to change that law. I'm sorry."
"I see...could you please tell the advisors that I would like my party to be set up 3 days before my birthday? And please tell them to order a large amount of food for Lina and Gourry."
"I will do that Amelia dear."
"I guess I shall leave now Father. I think I'm going to go for a walk for a little bit."
"Will you need an escort?"
"No that won't be necessary. I will see you later Daddy." With that Amelia turned and walked out of the room closing the door behind her. She walked quickly up to her room where she changed into her usual traveling outfit. Maybe today she'd go out of the town and sit in the meadow and just enjoy life for once in her busy life. Amelia smiled to herself the last time she had done that was when she spent a little time with Miss. Lina, Miss. Filia and Miss. Sypliel to get to know them better. A thought crossed her mind. She wouldn't even have to walk out the door, it may be risky but she'd try. Quietly she walked over to her window and with a swift movement jumped out.
"Ray wing!" her yell echoed slightly and several people even looked up to see her fly out of her room.
"Miss. Amelia you know you shouldn't do that!" one of her advisors yelled at her. She just grinned and flew off to find some place to relax.
She had flown for quite a while until a scream from below made her stop. A fire had broken out in one of the small houses. Screams of children came from inside the smoldering house. Without thinking she flew straight into the house from above. The smoke was strong and powerful. She coughed and her eyes watered from the smoke filling the air. Slowly she made her way to the middle of the house, two little children were huddled in the corner of a small room.
"Come on you have to get out of here before the roof falls in" Amelia tired to coax them towards her. If she didn't work fast they'd all be crashed.
"Miss, my sisters ankle is hurt. We tried to escape from a piece of falling wood and it hit her foot. I pulled her out but she's burned and...I don't know want to do. Miss please help!" The older of the two siblings sobbed.
"Ok. I'll see what I can do. Recovery!" A soft white light emitted from Amelia's hand and the young girl suddenly stopped crying.
"Oh thank you" The boy hugged his younger sister. Amelia frowned they had spent too much time in here. She could already here the roof caving in through parts of the house.
"Come on we have to get you two out of here" Amelia choked on some smoke. A creaking noise made her stop in her tracks. She looked up only to see a part of the roof falling straight for her and the children. She leapt to the kids and covered them with her body. A strong thud rendered her unconscious.
"Do you think she'll be alright? If anything happens to her it'll be my fault. She saved my children..." A woman's voice cut into Amelia's thoughts. Was she alive still, after all this? She moaned and opened her eyes only to close them again to shield herself from the bright sunlight.
"Oh thank goodness you're going to be fine!" The woman spoke again. I saw you dive into the building to save my children and I didn't know if you or they would come out of this alive. Oh thank you so much" Well at least she had made her day productive, Amelia smiled to herself.
"Now the one thing I have yet to know is, who was that person that saved you. He wasn't hurt in the fire at all. And then when I made contact with him to take the children and you from his arms his skin was hard and hotter then heated iron. That's strange. Then he just flew away without even saying his name or giving a message." A neighbor said. The others at the scene nodded.
"Zelgadis?" Amelia croaked. She coughed again. No it couldn't be, he had been gone for so long what was the chance of him coming back now. Soon a group of local doctors came and examined Amelia's injuries. She had minor burns on her arms and legs and a sprained wrist but besides that she was perfectly fine. Now to explain this entire thing to her advisors and father...just what she needed. The doctors took her home by horse and carriage. They explained that she'd be fine and her injuries wouldn't interfere with her studies or daily activities.
"Oh no!" Amelia gasped. She had just remembered that her birthday celebration would be in less then 2 weeks. She stared down at her burned and bandaged arms and legs. Gently Amelia collapsed onto her bed with a sigh. Her father would visit her soon and want a full explanation...as always...For about the millionth time in her life Amelia only wished she could be like Miss. Lina, able to do what she wanted and not have to live by laws or doing the exact same thing on a daily basis.
"Why can't I just be a normal girl with a normal life, family and friends. Then I'd be able to enjoy life as people are meant too, and then maybe Zelgadis would still be with me...or I'd be with him." Too tired to do much anything else Amelia fell asleep on her soft bed taking in the comfort of just being back to the comfort of her room. A soft click woke her up. Someone was in her room...
"Who's there?" Amelia said startled by the noise. Her window was slightly open but she couldn't see anyone in her room and if she used a light spell she might be in even more danger. When nobody responded she guessed it was just the wind and nothing more. But unfortunately she guessed wrong and a gloved hand slipped over her mouth. With no way anyone would hear her scream she was carried away into the cold and eerie night...
~~So how did everyone like the first chapter? Good I hope. Well stay tuned for more.~~
