Alright, in order to keep from being sued let me just say(or type) that I don=t own Slayers or any of the characters. I just think it=s really cool and I feel like doing a story. And just a warning to all readers, if you don=t like mushy stories then you don=t want to read this one. Yeah....I=m a sap...

Title

The sun rose gently over the hills and a few rays landed upon the face of a certain sleeping chimera. Zelgadis woke up rather frustrated. He had fallen asleep against a tree before he even made a move for his tent. Of course, his sleeping had been irregular as of late...what with all that was on his mind. He stood up and wiped the sleep from his eyes with a wide yawn. He folded his tent into a small bundle and placed it into his pack. AMaybe I should just sell it. Seeing as I=m not making much use of it any more,@ he thought to himself. With a deep breath he continued on his journey.

It had been a year and a half since he had last seen his friends, and for some reason he found himself traveling to see the person he wanted to see the least....and the most. For every beast, there is always a beauty, and this beauty happened to be the crown princess of Seyruun, Amelia. He didn=t know why he was going to see her, or at least he refused to realize it. She often ran through his mind and kept him awake until the late hours of the night. AShe always accepted me for who I was, and she=s probably the sweetest person in the world....and the most beautiful,@ he thought whimsically. With a quick snap of reality, Zelgadis shook the thoughts from his head and cursed himself for his foolishness. AGet a hold of yourself! You=re only going back to return her bracelet! That=s it.@ Thinking this, he pulled the bracelet from his pack and fumbled it in his hands a bit. The pink ball with the star emblem shined brightly in the morning sun. Did she really have to give this to him? And if so, why? He decided to not worry about these things and continue on his journey. The Spring day was calm and the path was clear. And Seyruun was within a day=s walk.
