Chapter Five:
Xellos stood before Zelas somewhat confused by her expression. She was suddenly very concerned about the scroll that Filia had found. It was like it was something that she had lost or a possession owned by someone very important. Zelas was looking through the massive shelves of books that she owned for a certain one.
"Xellos do you have any idea what that scroll was?" She asked not wasting time to look at him.
"No." he replied
"Where did you get it?" She asked pulling a book out satisfied.
"I stole it from Filia," He said "She was researching into it."
Zelas nodded "Do you know that this scroll is actually a real prophecy Xellos?" She sat down in a lounge chair and opened the book.
"I had thought it was, it looked like it when I first read it and it seemed interesting." He admitted "I thought that you may be interested with it."
"Indeed." She said dragging her finger down the books contents. Her nail finally rested and for the first time since she had been searching her eyes rested on him.
"Xellos, that prophecy is quite old," She said "before you or I were even created." Xellos looked at her stranglely. "What are you trying to say?" he asked
"Let me start from the beginning. Before I even exsisted. Ruby eyed Shabranigdo and Ceepheid had a battle. As you know Cheepheid was able to stop Shabranigdo and seprate him into seven parts, sealing him away in ice. Before this happened though there was another problem that the monster race and all other holy races faced."
"What was that?"
Zelas turned to the book. "The Lord of Nightmares was faced with a decision. She too had an enemy many years ago. People don't believe that he exsisted but this scroll proves it. Listen to the story." She cleared her throat. "There were two beings that once exsisted in this universe, Iola and Minori. Iola was a servant of everything evil and Minori a server of everything that lead to a better purpose.
'The two one day met and started to rely on the other. The Lord of Nightmares who at the time was watching over the two thought nothing of it. She was told by another darker force that if the relationship continued to progress then the world would not have an equal balance. The Lord of Nightmares then decided that it was true. Using her strength she sealed the affections away. The other thought her foolish. He began a war between the two races. Minori began to become corrupted by the darker one and forgot all about Iola.
'Lord of Nightmares, striving to keep the peace came to the conclusion that only one thing could be done. She would have to destroy the two, but being the mother of all things she did not kill the two only trapped them inside of the respective races. The darker one thinking her weak took out his rage on the Lord of Nightmares. She trapped him in a small atricle and hid it for many generations.As she did this she was able to seal the scroll with a spell so that he would never again be able to roam the earth. Thus ends the tale of Iola and Minori' You see now Xellos?"
"So the darker one was sealed in this scroll," He looked down at the scroll that rested on the table. "But why were you so worried then? I mean, about me reading the scroll?"
"When the Lord of Nightmares put the spell on and hid it she did not think of what the posibilities of who could break the spell and release him."
"Are you trying to say that I did something to release him?" Xellos asked
Zelas sighed, "Xellos the only ones that can break the seal is the ones who inherited Minori or Iola's powers."
"So your telling me it is genetic?"
"Not exactly. You see The Lord of Nightmares placed the ones who inherited the power in a laps of Two generations. Every thousand years a generation was picked to carry their blood, I was that generation Xellos."
"Then you must have broke the spell when you read the Prophecy." Xellos said
"He has been set free once again." She said saddly then looked up at Xellos "I have decided to send you on a new mission Xellos."
"And what would that be Misstress?" he asked
"I want you to search out the one with Minori's blood." She told him calmly
Xellos bowed to her.
"You will probably find information about it from Malgasia," Zelas said standing up. "I want you to find him and ask. I think it wise to also recruit the help of Lina Inverse and perhaps Luna."
"I will." He said then dissapeared from her room walking quickly.

"Lina Inverse The beautiful magic extrodinare is bloody hungry!" Lina cried dragging herself to the table.
"I don't believe you Lina, how can you eat so much and stay so thin." Filia said setting a plate in front of the red head.
"It's a family secret." Lina said before she began to wolf down the dish infront of her.
"So your not going to tell me then?" Filia asked giving Zelgadis a plate.
"You'll have to give me your imortality then first."
Filia shook her head, then looked towards Amelia noticing her necklace.
"That's beautiful Amelia," Filia said "Where did you get it?"
Amelia looked towards Zelgadis. He looked like he was going to blush and run away.
"Just a friend." Amelia replied sitting down.
"So what are we going to do today?" asked Lina
"I think we should take a indepth look at the manuscript." Zelgadis said sipping his coffee
Filia laughed. "Oh yeah, about that."
Lina and the others looked up at her confused by her laugher.
"I was looking at it last night and well Xellos kind of stole it from me."
Lina sweatdropped "You mean to tell me that YOU let Xellos steal the scroll from you?" she said groaning
Filia just laughed waiting for Lina to explode. Amelia started to smile and chuckle along with Filia.
"Hello."
Before anyone could say anything there was a purple blob that shot across the room. There heads turned to Filia, who was standing, mace in hand looking triumphant. Lina turned to the purple blob who matterialized into Xellos. He was rubbing his head wimpering.
"I said I would kick his ass and I meant it." Filia said sitting back down but before she could Xellos teleported into her seat and she ended up sitting on his lap. She jumped up and turned to him angerly. "Way to start the morning Monster." She cried swinging at him but he just dissapeared to stand behind Lina.
"Make her stop Lina!" He exclaimed "I'm to busy for this right now."
"I thought you were on vacation Xellos?" Zelgadis said
"I already explained this, but I just got word from Zelas."
"Xellos?" Amelia turned to him "Did you steal the scroll from Miss. Filia?"
Xellos grinned "I can't lie about that. I did steal it but that's why I'm here right now."
"Oh really?" Lina said not facing him but her food.
Xellos nodded. "Lina, Mistress Zelas read the prophecy and she wants me to travel with you for the time."
"I supose you could," Lina asked scrapping her plate clean. "What's the catch?"
"Well.That's a secret." He said then dissapeared.
Filia stood there steaming with anger, as Lina walked up to her.
"Filia, why don't you and Val come with us? You could get even with Xellos." The red head tempted her.
"Anything as long as I can kill him!" Filia cried
Xellos stood before Zelas somewhat confused by her expression. She was suddenly very concerned about the scroll that Filia had found. It was like it was something that she had lost or a possession owned by someone very important. Zelas was looking through the massive shelves of books that she owned for a certain one.
