For any who skipped the first chap. Basically all that happened was that
Lina and Gourry went out on their own while Zel, Sylphiel, and Amelia
headed straight for Siphon. I'll explain where Siphon is later in relation
to everything else when I actually figure it out.
Disclaimer- I don't own slayers. If I did the story would go on forever and I would be a millionaire. or at least a thousandaire! But I do own any original characters and amusing plays on words.
________________________________________________________________________
Amelia, Sylphiel and Zelgadis had been in Siphon for almost three days now.
"If they don't show up soon. I'm leaving. I can't just sit around waiting here while they go play." Zel says crankily obviously he has a little bit of cabin fever.
("WHAT?" Zel looks confused. "we're not even on a ship... at least use sayings that work with the text."
"Oh keep that cute mouth of yours shut or..." I hold up a long pink dress and a pair of hoop earrings threateningly while Amelia grabs the lipstick.
Zel's eyes widen to twice there normal size and he growls softly muttering to himself about crazy writer types.)
"But Mr. Zelgadis they said they'd probably be a couple of days. Besides where are we going to go... Lina took the Map to the ruins." Amelia asks tilting her head cutely to the side as they pass another little gift stand containing everything from teddy bears and dolls to swords engraved with skull patterns and the mark of death. One of the smaller daggers resting on the table has such a mark (pure black swirling around a skull with a long stem rose thought it's center.) on the hilt which curves around delicately to shape a smaller hand meaning that the blade was most likely made for a women. The actual blade of the knife is made to look like it is permanently covered in blood. It is situated between to similar but not as um, shall we say graphic blades.
Feeling a twinge from somewhere behind her Sylphiel stops abruptly.
"So really there is nothing we can do right now is there? Right Sylphiel." Amelia continues having walked several feet past the stock still healer. "Sylphiel?"
"Sylphiel what's wrong." Zel asks walking toward her swiftly. "Why'd you stop?"
Unerringly Sylphiel turns to the knife her hand going for the hilt. Wrapping her fingers around it she pulls it from the table and slowly walks away with it much to the irritation of the stand owner.
"Hey Lady your supposed to pay for that!" He shouts then turns to Sylphiel's unsuspecting companions. "Well if she's not going to pay for it you have to! If I don't get my money I'm calling the guards." He says snootily to match his stance and outfit. The man seemed to be turning his nose up at them and he was wearing a pure white cloak (very impractical especially when a merchant) over light blue slacks and shirt both reflecting the light blue tint in his cold eyes. Across one side of the shirt and seemingly tattooed right onto the skin of his arm is the figure a white and silver serpent.
"This guy could rival Lina in greed." Zel says softly almost under his breath.
"That's not very nice, Mr. Zelgadis." Amelia looks at him reproachfully . "If you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all!" she shakes her finger at him censoriously.
"Now that's a great set of morals..." The man growls at the two. "but I want my money now." Glancing into the distance he nods once as though deciding something.
"But Sir, Miss Sylphiel couldn't have meant to take it... I mean she would never-" Amelia begins smiling innocently up at the man.
"I don't care if she meant to or not!" The man said crankily and in a shrill voice started to yell... "GUARDS, GUAR-Mmffa" he shouts as Zel quickly covers his mouth with a stony hand.
"Here's your stupid money now if you want to live I suggest you shut up right now, got it?" He stares up at him until their eyes meet and the man though snooty and rude is not stupid. Recognizing the threat now posed to his personal safety he nods vigorously taking the money.
"Good now let's go find Sylphiel, Amelia." Zel drops the man onto the ground rather unceremoniously and takes off at a sprint down the road avoiding the many pedestrians and carriages alike. Amelia with a polite wave to the merchant follows suit. As soon they disappear in the crowd a slow smile forms on his face and he returns to the stand grinning like a fool. ______________________________________________________________________
"Hey Sylphiel!!!" Lina shouts echoed quickly by Gourry running to her they both grin widely.
"Have you missed me?" Lina asks finally coming within speaking. "Where's Zel and Amelia I'm sure they'll be glad to see us."
There is a long silence as she waits for an answer.
"Um, Sylphiel?" Lina arches an eyebrow curiously.
Sylphiel just stares forward the dagger clutched behind her back.
"Syllllphieeeeellll!" Lina sing-songs and Gourry walks around to her side to wave a hand in her face.
"Hello, is anybody home?" Gourry asks softly. Then steps back to observe this strange Sylphiel silence phenomena.
Suddenly the light changes in her eyes from a dull green to a maniacal shine. "ayeeee!" Sylphiel shrieks launching herself at Lina the dagger hilt is gripped so hard her knuckles are showing white.
Lina dodges jumping sideways and rolling. Coming to a stop she gets up just in time to see the insane women charging her yet again. "AHH! SYLPHIEL WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE YOU DOING?!" Lina shrieks as she leaps into the air once again.
"Uh, Lina what do you want me to do." Gourry asks quietly all the while scratching his head.
"Just catch her or something ok!" Lina shouts at the dumbfounded man.
"Lina Inverse must die, die, die, die, die..." Sylphiel states in an unearthly voice. Her sickly sweet tone seems to echo outwards and even into the distance. Leaping towards her Sylphiel swings that dagger back once more, It glints in the sun on her down stroke coming within inches of a very startled Lina inverse.
"Agh!" the exclamation escapes Lina as she dodges once again barely missing the normally peace loving girls upswing. Breathing hard she gets up again just in time to see the blade make a nice large slit through her black cloak. With the knife hilt first into the ground and the cloak being pinned under it Lina collapses again onto the ground (being pulled off balance as she was). Sylphiel still pushing the dagger into the ground with one hand grabs a portion of Lina's cloak.
"Sylphiel," Lina says warningly preparing to fireball her if need be.
"Li', li' die, die!" The women shouts and before anything can happen she has the knife back out of the ground and slamming down towards Lina full force.
Knowing she has little time Lina reaches up and snaps her cloak loose hoping to roll out of the way in time. Well she might have succeeded but we'll never know because right at the same time a large hand gripped Sylphiel's arm and pulled her semi-roughly away.
"Wow, thanks Gourry." Lina says smiling as he's trying to hold Sylphiel still without hurting her, or letting go of the knife hand.
"Now this is nuts, Sylphiel what is going on here?" Lina grits her teeth and sighs in exasperation.
"MUST KILL LINA INVERSE, MUST KILL, KILL, KILL, KILL, KILL, KILL!!!" Is all the dark-haired women can gasp out while still struggling.
'Why does everyone want to kill me?' Lina runs a tired hand over her eyes. "Well I doubt if asking her why's gonna help us any."
Still struggling the women screams loudly about killing Lina for her master. Suddenly her voice hits glass breaking pitch and she struggles so hard that Gourry can't hold her anymore however he does managed to pry the dagger from her hand.
"ah," Sylphiel sighs as her hand leaves the daggers hilt and she slides gracefully to the ground, unconscious.
"Well thank gods that's over." Lina grins and bends down to look the girl over for any wounds or spells. "well she seems to be clean of charms and curse-" sensing something behind her she leaps to the side just in time to see a very bright gleam of sunlight glinting off a silver and ruby knife blade. "What the?" she questions quickly leaping to her feet to face the new foe.
"G-Gourry?" she stutters watching her protector stalk ever closer knife gripped tightly and eyes a shining sky blue.
With a short grunt he races up and swings at her his long reach making the knife just long enough to slice a nice clean slit into the yellow band across her chest. She leaps back several feet until she's at least fifteen feet away.
'Great I won't be able to dodge him for long... fire ball maybe?' she thinks 'I mean I could just charge it enough to scorch him a little.' Pondering this however gives our dear Gourry time to start on the offensive again and that he does. Racing towards her she makes to duck out of the way. Dancing to the right however is not the best plan because Gourry having anticipated this move merely took a step sideways and cut her off. Within a few feet of her now he leaps slicing downward through the air.

Me: Thanks Lina!
Lina: Don't mention it.
