CHAPTER SIX JOURNEY'S END
They were nearing the mountains and by nightfall had
reached the base of the looming mountains. They set up
camp and everyone went to sleep. Except Gourry who had
the first watch. It would be his last. As he was watching the
stars he heard something and decided to go and investigate.
He wandered far into the darkness where he was slain.
In the morning when everyone woke up they found the
bloody and lifeless body of Gourry lying by the remnants of
the fire. Lina cried out and ran to fall to her knees by his
side. She was blinded by her grief and shouted "this is all
your fault Fillia!" Suddenly she stopped crying and drew
the sword from Gourry's belt and faced Fillia with a
madness in her eyes. "I cant forgive you for this Fillia!"
she yelled as she charged towards the sobbing golden
dragon. Xellos tried to stop her and talk some sense into
her, but she was beyond sanity. Madness had taken over her
and she charged with the sword out in front of her. Maybe
it was her grief or maybe it was her madness, or maybe it
was Mikazuki's oath being fulfilled but whatever it was it
was fatal. Lina tripped and because of the angle at which
she was holding Gorron Nova, when she fell it pierced
through her chest. She fell down dead next to her lover, still
with that murderous look in her dull ruby eyes. She
shuddered and died. Fillia fell down and sobbed
uncontrollably. Xellos held her and tried to comfort her. "
Let go of me! I cant live like this! I'm going to end it right
now!" She grabbed Lina's dagger when she saw the look in
Xellos' open eyes. "It will be over for you, but what about
them?" He indicated Rei and Sakura who were watching
the whole thing and Sakura had started bawling because
everyone was shouting. Fillia put the dagger down and
picked them up and comforted them. Suddenly, a great
light bloomed and as it faded a woman stood there. She had
long jet black hair the color of her eyes which were wide
with hate. "Mikazuki..." Fillia whispered. Xellos stood up
and confronted this golden dragon. Before he could say or
do anything Fillia stood up and told her sister quietly "I
didn't say anything because I was afraid. Afraid of what
had happened." As her soft voice carried on the breeze
Mikazuki started to tear up. "No! You betrayed me!" She
yelled. Fillia went over to her and hugged her. Mikazuki
stabbed a dagger into her back yet still she hugged her. "I
love you nee-Chan!" Mikazuki howled with grief at what
she had done like so long ago. As Fillia collapsed into
Xellos' arms, Mikazuki made a decision. She called upon
L-sama to grant her request. She would give over her own
life to have that of Fillia's and her friends restored. At that
Mikazuki disappeared and the others revived. They all
looked to Xellos for an explanation and he somberly told
them what Mikazuki had chosen to do. Fillia cried and the
wait on her shoulders of not helping her sister finally eased.
She knew she'd see Zuki in the next life so she could only
hope her sister would wait there for her. She ran over to
check on the twins and Rei looked at Fillia and said "Aunt
Zuki has died but we will live in memory of her just as I
live in memory of your cousin Rei." Lina gasped. "How
does she know all that?" Fillia wanted to know. Xellos
replied "I believe that she can read minds and is highly
intelligent even for a mazoku baby, but I'm not sure. Ask
her yourself." Fillia looked questioningly at Rei, but all she
said was 4 very familiar and irritating words everyone
knew quite well by then. Rei winked and announced
"Sore wa himitsu desu!"

I was planning for tat to be the end of this but if you think I
should write another fanfic about other things that could
happen to them please review and let me know.
