All I Left Behind - Chapter 8!
Xellos soon appeared before his master. His head regally bowed patiently awaiting his orders. Deep within the back of his thoughts he was in an emotional turmoil. And he was sure that Zelas could feel it. After all, he was created from her. How could she not know?
A wide smile could be found upon the shadowed face of the Beast Master. She so did love it when something this interesting came about. It certainly did take a lot to get her little general/priest so riled up. Lightly clearing her throat as she straightened out her posture within her chair. "So, what kept you from coming to me right away, Xellos? Your thoughts to be preoccupied with something...or is it someone?"
His shoulders visibly stiffened at the mentioning of Lina's name. Keeping his head bowed, he could not keep that wry smirk that spread across his lips. So, his master did not remember what had occured either. "I was merely keeping a specific interest of yours alive, Jou-ou-sama."
"Oh, really? You've always managed to keep a watchful eye upon our spunky red-headed sorceress, haven't you? Lighten up, Xellos... I'm not going to scold you for having a, what should I call it...? Ah, yes, a slight crush on the girl. She is quite the adorable specimen. And, actually, she is the main reason why I called you back. Even though her sister and myself have quite the close friendship I need that little powerhouse on my side. Do you understand me?"
His eyes jerked open at hearing that. Pulling his head up to openly regard his master with a look of something akin to shock, he couldn't help but suddenly go on the defensive. "Jou-ou-sama, you know that she will not ever agree to go along with this! She'd rather kill herself then become a mazoku!"
In a flash Xelas was kneeling before him with a murderous look burning within her eyes. Her arm shot out and her long fingers found their way around his neck and sharply clamped down upon the delicate column. "Are you questioning my orders, Xellos?! It doesn't matter whether she will willingly come to us or not! The point is I want her and you will get her to me no matter what! I have been aware of your infatuation with Lina for quite some time and I simply ignored it! But now I cannot! You will cast your feelings aside and kill her for me!" In one powerful motion she flung his body away from her and into the nearby wall.
His body lifelessly collapsed onto the floor after sliding down the wall. With a pained grunt he pulled his body upright and came to rest in a sitting position. Within seconds that sickeningly insane grin grew upon his face. "Forgive me, Jou-ou-sama. I was out of line. I shall go and kill Lina Inverse and turn her into a mazoku..."
"Good. You should feel quite lucky that I did not torture you for such insolence. Now go." With an eerie grace she turned from him and vanished from sight. Soon after her exit Xellos soon followed. His body slowly fading into shadow...and a mournful groan piercing the lonesome silence of the room as he went on his way.
Holy shiest it has been awhile, eh?
It was a tiny update...but an update, no less.
Well, I am going to be making updates from time to time.
I just had the urge to continue on with this story.
Oh, and for all of those who reviewed this oh-so-long-ago...
Thank you. Sorry for the long wait.
