Slayers: The Meaning of Life
Part 18: A Decision is Made
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
N: As you may recall, our heroes fell asleep in the royal palace of Firestorm while listening to Deep Sea Dolphin's singing. Phibrizio is curled up on the floor, Dolphin's scarf still wrapped around him. XellAn is slumped in a chair, her mouth slightly open, and Lily is sprawled out on the loveseat.
Phibby: *begins to wake up; rubs his eyes* ...hm...Where am I?
N: He looks around as his brain begins to unfog. Then he rises and stretches.
Phibby: Wonder where Dolphin went...*yawns*
N: One of XellAn's eyes winks open.
me: Is it morning already?
Phibby: Yay! You're awake! *climbs into her lap*
me: *hugs him* Did you sleep well, Phibby-Baby?
Phibby: Hai. *smiles* Dolphin left her scarf.
me: I know.
Phibby: What're we gonna do with it?
me: *shrugs* If she wants it, she'll come back.
Lily: *yawns* Morning.
Phibby: G'morning! ^^ What're we gonna do today?
me: We need to press on, Phibby-Baby. I have lots of people to see still.
Phibby: Oh. Who're we gonna go see?
me: I'm not sure...
Lily: I have a friend who might be of some help, but I can't imagine he'd be very eager to see either of you.
Phibby: Huh?
me: Why?
Lily: He's spoke of you, Meiou-Sama, and what you tried to do. He despises the Mazoku in general and is particularly hateful towards your friend Xellos.
me: Who is this? A Ryuzoku, no doubt.
Lily: Yes. The Keeper of the Claire Bible, Milgasia.
me: Milgasia...?
Phibby: Oh, no...He will kill me.
me: The Keeper of the Claire Bible...the one who got away!
Lily: Huh?
me: Xel-Chan, when he killed all those Ryuzoku, Milgasia got away. He survived Xellos' mass slaughter. He is admirable, noble, and yet, distrusting. You are correct. He would never want to see either of us.
Lily: He's been around a long time. He knows a lot. He may be of some help.
me: But he won't talk to me, even if he does not know I am a Mazoku. Phibby is in my care and he must come with me.
Lily: I will speak to him. Meiou-Sama is quite different now. He may not feel threatened by Lord Hellmaster's powers.
me: You mean his lack of powers.
Lily: *nods*
me: But I am still Mazoku, not to mention Xellos' confident.
Phibby: I think you're a little more than that. ^^;
me: *gives him a dirty look*
Phibby: Sorry!
Lily: We can at least try. It'd be better than sitting around here.
me: All right. We can go.
Lily: Good.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
AN: so we're off to see Milgasia...he's my favorite Dragon. don't forget to visit the shrine to him at my website. ^_^
