Chapter Two: The Queen Returns
"Oooff!" Gourry rolled onto his back. "Well, at least I landed on my head. As Lina would say, no damage!" Gourry looked around perplexed. "Hey, this isn't the other circle!" At that moment three little blue imp looking things came out of the bushes.
"Ah, fresh meat!" said the first.
"And no soldiers to help this one either." said the second, licking its lips.
"And she looked so tasty too." Whined the third. "Ah well, I guess we'll just have to make due with him." The three began to advance.
"Girl?" thought Gourry. "Oh, Amelia!" his face lit up as he sat down, a rock flying just over his head. "And these three were going to EAT HER!" Gourry stood up, just missing a round house that would have broken his nose if he had still been seated. The imp backed away at the look in the towering blondes' eye. "So, you three were going to eat Amelia, were you." The imps cowered against the canyon wall, as Gourry unsheathed his sword and in one motion slit all three of the disgusting little creatures' throats. "There. Now to find Amelia." thought Gourry as he left the canyon and walked towards the bridge, and fell down the slope instead. "Owww." He moaned and crawled out of the mountain range. "What?" It was his village, or it should be his village. Some of the houses were there, but not his, and where the fair should be was that mountain Lina blew up when she was six. "This is really weird." Gourry walked into the pub to ask Erik, the bartender for a soda, but Erik wasn't behind the counter, some one else was, and none of the people he knew were serving or drinking. The general talk of the common room was the safe return of the Queen after she had disappeared. "I heard from one of the guars that she was in the mountains, giving a speech about justice to a tribe of imps!" Gourry remembered his day and a half with the young woman. Remembered the justice speeches during their mission to find the cat, and while watching the races as one runner would attempt to trip another, and the long harangue after the hanging-over-a- fire game. "So, where is she now?" the oblivious swordsman asked the townsman. "At the castle of course! Where else would she be?" but Gourry was already out the door. Wandering through the castle forest Gourry got completely lost. "Oh, damn! Where am I now? Huh?" something sparkled in a bush nearby. "What is that? Pocky!" Gourry pounced on the candy, yanking it off the bush, and pulling the string that alerted the hidden imps. As the three popped out of the ground they gave sharp whistles and three green balls came rolling out of the underbrush. Mounted, the imps felt invincible. "You can't have my Pocky!" Gourry screamed as he scattered the imps back into the forest. Feeling refreshed from the snack and the fight Gourry wandered around until he found the castle. "Hey kid, what's with the funky hair? You one of Xelloss' troopers?" "Naw, he wouldn't have made the cut. Now scram!" The two castle guards were extremely rude. "How unjust! You should be more polite to people, you never now who they may be friends with! Like me.", came a voice as the doors at the top of the stairs opened, and a richly gowned woman stepped out. "Your majesty! We are so sorry. We didn't know that he was-" "I will receive him in my chambers. Come good sir." The woman turned away from the stunned trio. "Our apologies good sir." The first soldier bowed to Gourry. "Her majesty's quarters are to the right as you enter the throne room." Gourry bowed back ad went through the open doors, and climbed the several flights of stairs until he reached the top. "Her majesty, Queen Leene will see you now." The heavily armored knight beckoned to Gourry as he reached the top, panting. "You may leave us now" the queen told her maids. "Come closer good sir." Than she giggled. "Mr. Gourry!" she cried and leapt into his arms. "It's me, Amelia, but everyone keeps calling me Leene. I knew you would come for me, and I was hoping Ms. Lina came too, but I guess she didn't." Amelia stopped for breath, and suddenly winced in pain. "Mr. Gourry? I suddenly don't feel so good. Wha-what's happening? AIEEEEEEEEEEE!" In a flash of light, Amelia disappeared. "Huh?" Gourry blinked at the spot where Amelia was standing just before that flash of light. "Now that's weird. Wonder where she went?" Gourry shrugged and left the room, only to be accosted by the maids, asking if he had been rude or made the queen angry. "Um, well", Gourry had a flash of brilliance. "Yeah, she seemed kinda upset for some reason, so I figured I should leave. Maybe it's "that time"." This caused the maids to stare at him, and the bodyguard to blush. "Well, I'll come back later, 'cause she said she wanted to be alone for a while and she asked me to ask you not to disturb her." With that Gourry ran down the stairs. At the bottom he heard a familiar voice screeching "What do you mean I can't come in?! If you don't get out of my way I'm gonna." Before the guards could attempt to arrest this crazy girl, and get barbequed in the process, Gourry called out "It's OK, she's with me and I'm leaving now anyway. Bye!" Grabbing Lina's arm, he hurried her out of the castle. "Gourry, what the hell is going on here?" The redhead demanded stamping her foot. "Why were you in the castle, and why did the guards let YOU in and not me?" "Well, maybe its because I didn't threaten to blow up the castle. OW!" Lina walloped him on the head. "Kidding, Lina, kidding. Amelia let me in. Apparently the Queen went missing, and they thought Amelia looked so much like her that they figured the personality change was from trauma or patriotic spirit. I guess there's a war going on with someone called Xelloss." At that, Lina's eyes went wide. "Xelloss? They're at war with Xelloss? How can this be? It's impossible!" Gourry was just staring blankly at his friend. "Look, Gourry. What kind of fair were we at?" "Um, it's the fair to celebrate the 1000th year, right? The Millennial Fair." "Well, yes, but that's not the only reason. It's also to celebrate the fact that 400 years ago, in 600 AD, King Seiruun the XXIII won a war against an evil wizard named Xelloss. If that's the case, than we're in the year 600 or thereabouts." Lina looked at her companion to see if he understood. Gourry was staring off into space, clearly not hearing a word Lina had said. She continued anyway, "What I don't understand, is why Amelia disappeared. Unless. Oh, that's it! Queen Leene was kidnapped and almost killed by some of Xelloss' henchmen a few months before the war ended. And since we know that this is near the end of the war, that must be why the soldiers thought Amelia was the queen. And if that's the case, than that means that she disappeared because the queen is in danger and she must be in Amelia's bloodline, but if that's the case than Amelia is! Gourry! We have to help the queen!" Lina took off through the forest, dragging a vacant expressioned Gourry behind. "Hey, Lina? He called, "How long has Pocky been around if I found some, and it's 400 years before our time?"
