Meri was in her room dressing for bed, when she noticed the beautiful night outside. It reminded her of that night…
*Flashback*
It was Meri's five year old birthday. Her family had gathered around to celebrate when he attacked. That Mazoku she hated. He looked just like another traveler coming down the road. They had waved and said hello, when he turned on them and killed them all gruesomely. Meri had been left alive. She remembered that part the most. He had stooped down by her side, after disarming her from the fork that she was trying to stab into him. He leaned close to her ear.
"Remember what I did. Grow to hate me. Kill me for what I did." He had handed her the sword that she still carried with her.
*End Of Flashback*
She picked up the sword and swung it around a few times. For all she knew, it couldn't kill him, but with all her training and experience, she would. She had become a Mazoku Hunter and had killed many of them, without the legendary Sword Of Light. Rumor had it that it was gone anyway, even if she wanted it. She sighed and continued changing her clothes. Then she heard a noise. Not a normal noise, a Mazoku noise. It was a teleportation, which was centered right outside her door. She pulled her shirt down over her head and grabbed her sword.

Xellos was wondering what happened and why he couldn't teleport into that girl's room, like he had intended to. He was very surprised to see her swing open the door and stick a sword in his face, just as he was about to knock on the door.
"Well, hello." He said, waving a hand cheerfully. She looked disappointed and lowered her sword.
"It's you again. Don't you have anything better to do?" She asked, closing the door in his face. He stared at the closed door for a moment, the walked through it. The girl was climbing into her bed.
"Who are you?" He asked, floating up to sit on a bedpost. She ignored him and blew out the candle. In the moonlight, she was even more beautiful, so Xellos decided to watch her all night. Actually the reason that he gave himself was that it would annoy her if he stayed there all night, but it really doesn't matter why, because he watched her sleep all night.
Sometime near morning, she started moving around, as if she was having a horrible dream. In fact, fear, horror, and hate were the emotions that were emanating from her. He watched in wonder. Again, it brought up the strange feeling in him. It soon stopped when her dream ended and the rest of the night was uneventful.
