Chapter 6: Awakening and Sealing
Lina gave a loud yawn. She had spent the whole night chatting on the phone with Deep Sea Dolphin, Aya. After understanding her, Lina realized that the ex- Kai-ou was actually a very friendly and easy-going person, even though she can be quite weird at times. Aya was a great fan of marine creatures and dragons. Lina grinned. She could still remember the argument on dragons at Garv's house. Aya love dragons, but Lina wondered if this would change if Aya got back her mazoku lord memories.
Lina rubbed her eyes. She had a free period and decided to visit the school library for books on reincarnation. The school library was very big, and it was filled with old and dusty books, which probably hasn't been touched for a century. Long and thick curtains draped down from the ceiling, covering the huge windows, blocking any sunlight that wanted to enter. In another corner stood some old tables with moldy chairs. Lina shuddered. How she hated this dismal and foreboding place.
"The seniors said that this place is haunted. No wonder the school's librarians change every month. No one would want to work here for long, provided the person's a vampire." She muttered. " Up till now, only me, Amelia, Zel and Xellos remember..." Next would be Gourry, she decided. "...But that jellyfish wouldn't know what I'm talking about."
Frowning, Lina realized that an hour was almost up. She had to go back quickly before her next class, which was art, starts. Sighing, she gathered all the books she had found and walked towards the counter. A sleepy looking librarian sat behind a huge desk.
" I want to borrow these books." Lina said.
"..." the librarian blinked sleepily. " This is not for loan..." she murmured, pointing to a thick moldy book.
Sighing, Lina took the book and went to put it back. Suddenly, she heard something behind her. Spinning around, she found to her relief an old and fairly thick book on the floor. Lina reached down to pick it up, but froze when she saw the title of the book. 'The Claire Bible' ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------
Filia sighed as she looked out of the window. Lina had gone to the library. Filia smiled grimly. She had to admire Lina's courage. Everyone knows that the library is haunted, and the librarian's either an alien or a vampire. It was a pity though, she heard that there were lots of books on pottery.
" Fi-Lia-chan...what are you thinking about??" A haunted voice whispered into her ear. She gave a loud scream and swung her fist at the culprit.
" ARGGHHH! GHOST!" She screeched. The 'ghost' oofed and fell backwards. She blinked.
" Xellos! You fruitcake! Namagomi!" Filia yelled as she grabbed hr chair and proceeded to slam it on Xellos.
Xellos giggled as he dodged her attacks. " Are you thinking of Valtierria again?" He teased.
Filia blushed. " Namagomi!" She screamed as she swung her chair at Xellos wildly.
*Thwack* * Bang*
Filia blinked. Their teacher lay on the ground, his glasses slipping off his nose. Blood flowed out from his nose as he moaned.
" Sensei!!" She screamed as she wiped the blood off his nose frantically. Students stood around them, whispering to one another.
" Shouldn't you bring him to the nurse, Filia-chan?" Xellos asked.
" It's all your fault!!" Filia wailed as she tried to pull the teacher off the floor.
" My fault? You were the one who killed sensei." Xellos mocked.
" I didn't kill him!" Filia screeched.
" Ahem...Filia-san, Xellos-san, I think you should bring sensei to the nurse before he dies..." A student muttered.
Nodding, Filia grabbed the teacher's wrist and dragged him out of the door.
Xellos sweatdropped. " Ne, Filia-chan, shouldn't you carry him instead of dragging him?"
She glared at Xellos. " Why did you follow me? I don't need you to tell me what to do! And how am I going to carry sensei? I don't have so much strength!"
Xellos raised his eyebrows. " I thought dragons have a lot of strength?"
" What's that got to do with me? I'm not a dragon!" Filia snapped.
Xellos smiled. " Whatever, Filia-chan"
" Don't 'chan' me!" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------
Lina stared at the book.
" The Claire Bible...why is it here? Does L-sama know about it?" She whispered. Bending down, she picked up the book and flipped it open.
Suddenly, scarlet light shone from the page. Lina screamed as she felt herself being churned in a mist of scarlet. Haunting laughter filled her head. Lina slid down to her knees, clutching her head, trying to shake off the evil feeling. She could see it; she could feel it... the evil eyes, red like ruby. A cold shudder ran through her body. Iciness spreaded through her veins, numbing her body.
" No...No...L-sama...Please, don't!" She whispered hoarsely.
Then, it all disappeared. Lina blinked, trembling uncontrollably.
" What was that..." She moaned.
" Erm...Miss, are you alright? I heard you scream..."
Looking up, Lina saw the librarian looking at her curiously. Shaking, she got to her feet, cutching the book tightly in her arms.
" Oh that book. You can have it. Even though the title said Bible, but there's nothing inside, just weird lettering.
Lina stared at the librarian. " Really..."
The librarian shrugged. " Take it. Nobody comes here anyway, it won't be missed."
Holding the book tightly in her hand, Lina muttered a quick thank you and ran out of the library.
" Oof!" Lina cried out as she bumped into someone.
" L-sama!" she gasped at the golden hairied lady who was staring at the Claire Bible in shock.
" Lina...Where did you get that book?" L-sama whispered.
" In the library. L-sama, I think I unsealed something when i turned to this page..." Lina said as she flipped open the book to the page where she saw the red light.
"NO! Don't open it!" L-sama cried out frantically. But it was too late. L-sama's body glowed golden before disappearing with a flash.
" L-sama!" Lina screamed. The place where L-sama once stood replaced by a silver hairied man.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------
Xellos gasped as a shudder ran through his body. What was that...He wondered.
" Are you alright?" Filia asked. They were in the recovery room, and the nurse was tending to their teacher.
" Yeah...Ne, Filia-chan, do you believe in reincarnation?" Xellos asked, his tone for once serious.
Filia looked suspiciously at Xellos. " A little...Why?"
" Would you believe it if I told you that you were a dragon in your past life?"
Filia blinked. A shiver ran down her spine. " I...Stop fooling around, raw garbage!" She sapped.
" I'm serious!" Xellos argued.
" It's one of your little tricks again. I bet you want me to believe you the you'll tell the whole school I'm a crazy fool who believes in reincarnation!" She yelled, but shut up when the nurse turned around to glare at her.
Xellos sighed. This is going to be difficult, he thought.
" I'm very serious, Filia Ul Copt." He said in a quiet tone and opened his eyes.
" I'm no going to believe you! Never! Trickster Priest!" Filia retorted stubbornly. Trickster Priest? Where did it come from? She wondered.
" Do you remember Milgazia? Don;t you feel a close bond towards Raksha?" Xellos asked.
" What Milgazia!? I have never heard of such person! And what's it got to do with Raksha!?" Filia snapped.
" You were Rasksha's priestess in the past! He was the Fire Dragon King!" Xellos said.
Images flashed through Filia's mind. Images of mountains, temples, gold colored dragons and a certain purple hairied fruitcake. She gasped.
" Shut up! You're going too far! Stop this stupid joke of yours right now! Why must you always bug me! From the past until now, all I want to do is to get away form you, but you always appear in my life! No matter where I am born to you will always appear!" Filia screamed while Xellos stared at her.
" What did you say, Filia-chan..."
Filia's eyes widened. " I...I...I hate you!" She shouted before running out of the room.
" Filia!!"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------
Lina stared the silver hairied man in front of her. He was wearing a long white robe that touched the ground. His long silver hair was pulled back, but it was not tied up. Stray strands hung over his golden eyes, which was filled with fatigue and sadness. His face was young, but his eyes gave his age away.
" Who...Who are you? Where's L-sama?"
The man smiled sadly. " L-sama's sealed up...Shabranigdu sealed her up..."
" What...It's not possible! She's the God, Ruby-eye is weaker then her!" Lina shouted.
" It is possible..." The man said.
" Who are you?"
" My name is Cepheed...Flare Dragon Cepheed."
Lina's mouth dropped open. " Ce...Cepheed? What are you doing here? What happened?"
Cepheed sighed. " It's a long story." He shut his eyes. " Many years ago, when L-sama first created the world, she decided to create a Dark Lord and a Dragon Lord to balance the chaos. However, she found out that after she created the Dragon Lord, that's me, she had no more energy left. Thus, she went to borrow power from her 'brother', another God. Her brother agreed to give her power, in return that he shared half of whatever L-sama created from the power. Ruby-eye was then created from the power, which was also known as the Claire Bible as it was in a form of a book. Years past, L-sama gave the Bible to a dragon king for protection. That's why you went to Kaartat to look for the Claire Bible. However, as the End drew near, Ruby-eye grew more powerful as he took energy from the Claire Bible. Finally, he grew so powerful that L-sama and her brother decided to seal him up. Using the Claire Bible, they sealed him inside the energy that he was born from."
Lina stared at Cepheed. " Then...Then why was Ruby-eye able to escape when I opened the book?"
Cepheed smiled grimly. " Because you're his Knight."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------
" Filia!" Xellos yelled as he followed her down the corridor.
" Leave me alone! Namagomi! Fruitcake!" She shouted. " AHHHH!" She screeched when Xellos suddenly appeared in front of her.
"How did you do that? AHHH Ghost! Monster!" Filia wailed as she ran in another direction.
Xellos sweatdropped. He phased out and appeared in front of Filia again. This time, he grabbed her wrists and pinned her against the wall.
"Listen to me!" He hissed.
Filia turn pale. " ARGHH! MOLESTER! HELP! SOMEBODY HELP ME! LET GO OF ME YOU DISGUSTING PIECE OF FILTH!" she screamed as she kicked at Xellos wildly.
Xellos sighed before teleporting the both of them away.
" Where am I...Where did you bring me, monster!" Filia shouted, fear showing in her eyes. They floated in the air before landing on a beach. The sea blue water stretched before them as waves lapped against the shore. Filia stared at the sea. *Flashback* She was flying in the air, in her dragon form. Then she spotted them. A red hairied girl and her companions. A blonde swordsman, a man in a cloak and a princess. She landed and changed into her human form. Walking over, she found out that their names were Lina Inverse, Gourry Gabriev, Zelgadis Greywords and Amelia Will Tesla Seyluune, just like what the Knight had said. She phased away, appearing on a bell tower. There, she changed into her dragon form again and started blasting the town. The whole place was in a mess. The girl and her companions boarded a ship. There, she and her friends tried to hit her with their spells, but to no avail. Then Lina cast a spell which she recognized as Dragon Slave. She phased away before the spell hit her... * End of flashback* Filia blinked as the memory faded away. Xellos smiled at her.
" Remembered something?"
" I..."
" I didn't lie did I?" Xellos asked.
" You...You placed this memory in me!" Filia yelled, refusing to believe.
" Why can't you just accept it?! You're Filia Ul Copt, the ex- Karyuu-ou priestess!" Xellos snapped, opening his eyes.
" I..."
" Try it, try casting a spell."
" What spell!?"
" Just stretch out your hands and concentrate you energy into your palms."
Filia scowled. One part of her mind told her that it was all a joke, but her subconscious urged her to d o it. Reluctantly, she cupped her palms and concentrated. To her surprise and alarm, warm energy flowed through her arm and formed a ball of energy in her palms. It then shot out into the sea. The water exploded as the waves rose and fell. Then the waves merged and formed...
" TSUNAMI!" Filia screamed. Her body glowed a little before disappearing. Xellos stared at the empty shore where Filia had once been. He smiled.
" Yare yare, looks like dragon girl's back."
Filia appeared back in the school. She stared the walls, stunned. " Oh my God! I teleported!" She gasped as she sat down on the floor abruptly. Memories of Xellos, the Karyuu-ou temple, Lina and co, dark star and...
" Oh Cepheed...Valgarv!" She muttered as her memories came back.
" Hai, Valtierria is Valgarv" Xellos smiled as he appeared behind Filia who jumped up infright.
" STOP APPEARING OUT OF NOWHERE!" she screamed as she slammed Xellos into the wall. The wall trembled as Xellos slid down. Filia sweatdropped whe she saw the big dent in the wall.
"Filia-chan, you should remember that since you're now a dragon, you have extraordinary strength..." Xellos mumbled from the floor.
" Hrumph!" Filia snorted. " Who else remembers?"
" That is a secret." Xellos grinned cheerfully as he wagged his finger. Filia's eyes glowed red.
" Namagomi Mazoku!!!" she screeched before chasing Xellos down the hall.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------
Lina stared at Cepheed. " You're kidding! How can I be the Knight of Shbranigdu!??" she yelled in disbelief.
" Your sister is my Knight..." Cepheed replied mildly.
" But...But...Why is L-sama sealed up?!"
" I have no idea...But I know for sure that Ruby-eye is extremely powerful now." Cepheed mumbled.
" Then why are you here?" Lina demanded.
" L-sama summoned me a second before she disappeared...She wants me to help you."
" Help me in what!?' Lina wailed.
" Help you find the 5 mazoku lords, the 4 dragon kings and everyone else that you know from your past life that has been reborn." Cepheed said.
" What!?? But they don't remember a thing!"
" So that's why you must help them remember." He said.
Lina groaned. " Why must I do that, of all people?"
" Because you unsealed Shabranigdu." Cepheed said tiredly.
" How about L-sama's brother?? How about my sister? She's stronger than me!!" Lina asked.
" He won't help. His world is already in a big mess. As I said, you unsealed Shabranigdu, and since you're his knight, it's you duty to seal him up again." Cepheed muttered. " Look, I can't keep standing here. It will drain my energy. I'm not even supposed to be here. I'll be in the Claire Bible. Call me when you need me." With that, Cepheed disappeared.
Lina stared the book, which glowed momentarily before returning back to its usual state. Lina growled.
" Argh!" She yelled before throwing the book onto the floor and stamping on it.
" Ow..." A voice from the book muttered. Lina blinked. " Hey, watch it I'm just a book."
Lina screamed.
" It's just me. Will you please treat me with care?" Cepheed muttered scarcastically.
" Rest in peace!" Lina snapped before picking up the book. " Oooh, how I hate Gods."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------
A/N: This is a long chapter...I hope you people enjoyed it. Finally the story has a plot. Lol. Isn't Cepheed cute? He's so serious. This chapter is kind of like Fushigi Yuugi ne? Like the four gods of heaven and earth...Anyway, the story Cepheed was saying is not from slayers. I made it up myself *sigh* it's kind of stupid isn't it...I can't think of anything else. Oh well, now I must think of new ways that will help the other characters remember their past.

" It's just me. Will you please treat me with care?" Cepheed muttered scarcastically.
" Rest in peace!" Lina snapped before picking up the book. " Oooh, how I hate Gods."

A/N: This is a long chapter...I hope you people enjoyed it. Finally the story has a plot. Lol. Isn't Cepheed cute? He's so serious. This chapter is kind of like Fushigi Yuugi ne? Like the four gods of heaven and earth...Anyway, the story Cepheed was saying is not from slayers. I made it up myself *sigh* it's kind of stupid isn't it...I can't think of anything else. Oh well, now I must think of new ways that will help the other characters remember their past.
