It¡¦s been quite some time since I last updated. Lack of inspiration, busy updating my other ficcy, getting a new computer¡K..you know, the usual stuff.

THANK YOU to those who reviewed and sent me e-mails of encouragement. I hope this chapter doesn¡¦t disappoint. (u.u)

FF.net has been having server problems again. It¡¦s probably just me being cynical, but it always happens whenever I upload a new chapter. Hee hee.

Anyways¡K¡K¡K.

Will Dynast get what he wants? Will Xelloss escape the evil clutches of ¡§Santa¡¨? What¡¦s happened with Lina?

Read on, and REVIEW!!!

Subject: What I did to Gourry

Zel,

I didn¡¦t do much to that Jellyfish Brains ¡V just tied his privates around his ears and did some other stuff with his arms. You won¡¦t believe how flexible arms can be. If you were within my physical distance, I would¡¦ve done you the same favour.

No I haven¡¦t read any of the other e-mails yet. Will get back to you on that.

Dynast,

You still interested in that fruitcake priest-general of mine? Since I¡¦m nice, I¡¦ll do a deal with you. I want that special offer from Wine Experts Inc.

Take care of it, and I¡¦ll arrange for Xelloss to stay with you for one day only. What the both of you do in that time isn¡¦t of my concern. Make sure he gets back in one piece.

Xelly dear,

Having considered your request, I have finally made a decision which I believe to be in your best interests. I¡¦ve noticed you haven¡¦t had a holiday since the Kouma Wars and you really need one.

So you¡¦ll be spending a day with Dynast, where I¡¦m sure you¡¦ll be in good hands ¡V no pun intended.

Have fun.

Your most wonderful and thoughtful master,

Zelas
