Zelgadis was now only a short distance from the castle. The sun had
already set and the night was young. There was no way he could get into
the castle now, but for some reason he had to go there. He had a strange
hope that maybe he=d catch a glimpse of Amelia at her window. He didn=t
fight this urge because if he did, he would find out why he had the urge in
the first place.
His cape rustled in the wind as he walked. The night was cool, but not cold. Unlike the previous night, the sky was full of stars. He found himself staring at the stars as he walked. They gave him a bit of comfort. They reminded him of Amelia. She was always sparkling in the darkness. He always tried to stay silent and gloomy, but she could make him smile. He felt needed around her. Not only to protect her, but just to make her feel safe. He couldn=t get too close to her though. Now more than ever, he had to keep his emotions in check. No one would approve of the Princess of Seyruun associating with a chimera. He need only drop off her bracelet and leave.
At last, he reached the castle. He gazed at the familiar walls of castle Seyruun. He stayed a fair distance from the main doors. There wasn=t a sign of life anywhere about the castle, other than two sleeping guards at the doors. He looked up to Amelia=s window, and saw that the light was out.
ABah! Why did you come here in the first place, idiot!?@ he growled at himself. Perhaps he could just leave the bracelet at the door and leave. No, he couldn=t leave without seeing her. As much as he wanted to continue his search for his cure, he wanted to see Amelia even more. He decided to just come back the next day. He turned and began to leave, but he was stopped when he heard a shout.
