-Chapter Three-
"Huh?!" Amelia blinked. "Our daughter?! But, Mr. Zelgadis, we're not even married yet."
"It's not as if she was created in the normal way," Zelgadis reassured Amelia.
"Rather an unusual girl." Xelloss remarked. "Quite a unique chimera. One third Zelgadis, one third Amelia, and one third Claire Bible."
"What do you mean 'one third Claire Bible'?" Zelgadis asked. "Surely this child's mind doesn't contain...?!"
"The whole Claire Bible?" Xelloss raised an eyebrow. "Of course not. Only a small portion of it. And we won't know which part until she learns how to speak."
"Learns how to speak?" Zelgadis asked.
"Well, she was just born," Lina reminded them. "Don't worry. I bet she'll learn to talk really fast, won't you?"
The chimera child nodded, enthusiastically. She understood perfectly well, even if she could not yet reply. In time, she would be able to. But for now, they would just have to be patient with her.
