A Perfect Ending
Chapter 7: 2 Days Left
"What, Miss. Lina are you serious?" Amelia asked. She knew there were problems from other countries and then her problem with her health but nothing that dangerous. Not like the past encounters with Mazoku like Garv and Phibrizzo.
"Yes, I'm afraid so Amelia. Can we go in and talk? Maybe get something to eat too?" Lina asked.
Amelia nodded while stifling a laugh. It was just like Miss. Lina to think about eating at a time like this. Jenifer left Amelia and her guest once they entered the palace. Amelia and Lina stopped by the kitchen to grab a meal before heading up to Amelia's room.
"So what about this power you're sensing?" Amelia asked as soon as they became situated.
"Well I can't really explain it" Started Lina while taking a bite out of a piece of Chicken. "It kinda reminds me of the power of a Mazoku, like the power I felt when I met the Lord of Nightmares...but at the same time it's different. I sense a different variety of magic powering it. Not just dark magic and negative emotions"
"That's not good...do you think I should warn Daddy?" Amelia questioned.
Lina shook her head. "No, I think it's fine for now and if something does arise the others and myself will protect Saillune...so don't worry"
Night fell quickly and the two girls settled for bed. But another dream awaited Amelia in her sleep.
"Amelia...? Please wake up, there is something I need to tell you" The voice of Rezo the Red Priest awoke her in her sleep.
"Yes, what is it?" She asked in a groggy voice.
"Have you found Zelgadis?"
"Yes, he's coming to my party"
"Has he found a cure?"
"No...not yet..."
"I don't know what to say...he may...he may not make it past the eclipse. I'm sorry Amelia. Unless he is able to get a cure or fall in love he'll die"
"I know...but even though I know this I don't want to accept it" She cried.
"Fate is hard to accept..."
"But it isn't fate! It can't be!"
"I'm sorry..." Rezo started to melt back into the shadows.
"No Rezo, wait! Tell me, why do you care so much what happens to Zelgadis?"
"I feel...responsible for everything that has happened to him. Even though it was he that wanted power, I was the one to grant it to him and curse him"
Then all was silent.
"Amelia!! Wake up some of your guests are here!"
Amelia opened her eyes. The sun was bright and right away she could tell she over slept. She quickly dressed in a light blue sundress and rushed out her door and down the steps. Standing in the doorway were Filia, Valgarv, Gourry, Sylphiel, Martina, Zangulus, Xelloss and Zelgadis.
"Welcome everyone" She flashed a bright smile and led them all to their rooms to get situated. Later that afternoon they were to meet in the dining hall for lunch.
"Miss. Amelia?" Xelloss spoke up from behind her. She jumped, not knowing he was there.
"Yes?"
"Have the symptoms of the darkness come back yet?"
"No, not recently Xelloss. I think it might be gone for good this time"
'Sadly I doubt that' Xelloss thought to himself.
"Well I'm kinda hungry...I think I'll go Zelgadis and get energy off of him" Xelloss said happily as she disappeared from Amelia's sight. Even though he had left Amelia could hear the faint yell of "Xelllooossssss!!!" Down the hall.
"I guess he went to see Filia first" Amelia laughed.
The day passed rather quickly and was spent on everyone telling what had been going on in his or her daily lives since their split up. It was fun but soon it was time for bed.
Amelia sat on her windowsill looking at the stars that night.
"Just one more day...and then my birthday and the eclipse..." She said softly, her voice breaking. She didn't want the day to come but she knew it would.
Meanwhile in a few rooms down Zelgadis was doing the same thing as Amelia, looking at the stars.
"I'm dying in a day...my life can't get any worse then though and I'll get rid of Xelloss" he joked to himself. Inside though, he was scared. What was it really like to die?
"I guess I'll find out soon enough" he said.
~-~ Okay here's another chapter. I think there will be 1-3 more in all. No flame! ~-~
