Chapter 13
Zel, Amelia, Prince Phill are on another side of the Festival with the kids, so that they could not hear Xellos and Filia's argument again. Amelia is resting peacefully on a chair watching the kids, Phill is between Zel and Amelia again, Maia is resting near a tree eating joyfully an apple that his godmother Sylphiel gave him, and Sylvia and Val are playing with each other. Zelgadiss didn't like the scene that he's watching; Sylvia and Val seem to be very close with each other, very close, Zel still remembers when Filia and her family arrived to Seylune, Sylvia was very happy to see Valgarv again and Zel was not pleased with at all, he still remembers Valgarv's past life , how could he, Valgarv summoned the Dark Star and he almost killed every one to avenge Garv. Who knows what Valgarv will be when he grows up, again, he might endanger Sylvia's life one day.
Prince Phill continues to stay between Zel and Amelia, avoiding them to have any kind of contact. Zel has made Amelia suffered the sufficient. When Sylvia was born, Phill was trilled to see that he has a granddaughter, he already have big plans of turning her into a great justice fighter and even make her a priestess. But what troubled Amelia the most was Zelgadiss who was not there when Sylvia was born, making Amelia raise the little girl by her self and always saying to herself that Zel will return one day and that they will soon be a real family for ever. Amelia suffered a lot, there where even times when Phill heard his daughter crying to sleep because of all the suffering that Amelia has been in , now Zelgadiss is back and Amelia is more miserable than ever, he doesn't know what Amelia and Zel talked about but Amelia is still the same when Sylvia was born. Phill had suffered enough when his wife Sylvinia (Sylvia is named after Amelia's dead mother) was killed by an evil bandit, that in this very moment is still out there, living free and felling proud of what he has done, and his daughter Garcia ran away and Phill had such big plans for her future, and now the remaining member of his family is suffering because of this man, Zelgadiss. Phill has made a silence promise that if Zelgadiss hurts Amelia again, he would kill Zel himself. (Damn, is this guy really a pacifist?)
"Mommy!" called Sylvia who ran to Amelia caring a white dog with little Val. "Look what we found!"
Amelia got up and saw her daughter caring a little white furry dog with her. The dog did not seemed pleased to be with Sylvia. In fact the dog is growling in fury.
And Amelia notices this. "It is nice dear……but he seems dangerous.
"Oh Mama, he is so cute!" giggled Sylvia hugging the dog closer to her.
"Grrrrrrrr ruff Ruf!! (Let go of me NOW!)" The dog growled.
"He is so cute!" said Val.
"Can I keep him Mommy?" asked Sylvia, hugging the dog more closely to her. The dog just keeps growling with more anger.
Zel doesn't like this, if Sylvia keeps it up the dog will probably bite her.
"He is so Fluffy, tuffy, nuffy, jassy little thingy wingy!" giggled Sylvia.
The dog couldn't take it anymore "RUFF!!!!!!!(THAT'S IT!)" The dog barked louder ready to bite Sylvia.
But Zelgadiss grabbed the dog and pulled him away from Sylvia.
Amelia ran to her daughter who was still trembling because of the fact that the dog was going to bite her.
Zel putts the dog on the ground in an angry way. "Get out you stupid dog!"
"Reeeuf Ruf? (Stupid dog?)"
Zel turns around to see Amelia hugging the little frightened Sylvia, suddendly he fels something wet on his right leg. The dog just pee on him. "HEY!!!"
"Ruuuuu ruf ruf ruuue. Ruff ruf, ruf. (A little vinegar and it will be cleaned. Have a nice day, Rock-face.)" And the dog ran away, chuckling sinisterly of what he has done.
This scared Zel, the dog chuckled. Since when do dogs chuckle? But Zel wasn't worry about that now, he runs to Amelia and Sylvia to see if they were alright. But he was cut on his track when Phill lifted his arm, stopping Zel to reach them. Zel just wanted to kill Phill for always standing between him and Amelia once again.
Amelia did not notice them; she continues to calm down her daughter who was still in shock. "Easy now sweaty, it is all over."
"He wanted to bite me Mommy….."
"He is just a bad dog sweaty, he's a really bad dog, but he is gone now." Amelia hugged her daughter closer, making Sylvia getting calm. The sweet loves that her mother always gives her makes Sylvia feel so happy.
"Yeah, it is a bad dog!" confirmed Val also trying to calm Sylvia. Sylvia just smiled at him.
Amelia could not help but to smile too, it is amazing how Sylvia and Val have become such good friends since the day they have met.
"What happened?" asked little Maia.
Amelia looks to Lina's son. "Oh it is nothing, it's just………." Amelia looks back at Zelgadiss and her father, looking at each other with such wrath eyes. Amelia was about to break them apart when she heard Lina's voice.
"Hey what's up?" Lina came into the scene with Gourry and Sylphiel behind her. And Zel took a few steps away from Phill so that the others don't know that he was almost starting a fight.
"Mommy, Daddy!!!!!!!" Maia ran to his parents happily, Gouury grabbed his son and lifts him up, Lina taps his son on the head gently. She then turns to Amelia.
"So what's happened here Amelia?"
"Oh nothing!"
"Hey come on Amelia. I heard someone screaming here."
"Honestly, it is nothing."
"Amelia……" said Lina in a menacing tone "Having just survive what I consider to be one of the most horrified experiments of my entire life (Xellos and Filia who are still arguing), I think I have all the right to know……. WHAT'S GOING ON HERE!?!?!?"
"It is nothing! Sylvia almost got bit by a dog that is all." Amelia didn't want to tell anyone that Zel and her father were almost fighting.
"Hello every one!" greeted a new person, every one turn around and saw Martina.
"Martina welcome back!" every one greeted back.
"Martina is here too?" asked Zelgadiss.
"Yup," answered Gourry putting his son down "she and her family also attend the festival."
"But they are always late!" added Lina.
"Oh shut up Lina!" demanded Martina. "You know that Zoanna is very far from Seylune!"
"Well, well, well Gourry, no time no see." Said Marina's husband, Zangulos who was caring a little girl by the same age of Maia and Sylvia. Zangulos still wears that same hat.
Gourry greeted his pain is the butt rival, and Zangulos putted his daughter down to greet him.
Zel looked at the little girl, she has the same hair colour of her mother and by the looks of her she is a very shy girl. "Who is she?"
Martina and Zangulos finally looked at Zel "Zelgadiss, you……"
"Yes I'm back, don't start with the surprises…..now who is the little girl?"
Martina smiled shyly. "This is my daughter. Mine and Zangulos. Her name is Zoanna!"
"Zoanna?"
Martina glared at Zel. "Yes Zoana! You got a problem with that?"
"Nope……"
Zoanna finally looks at Maia who lifted his hand to greet her, one of the things that Gourry always taught Maia is that a gentlemen always greets a lady "Hello."
Zoanna blushed and hide behind her father, very shyly.
Maia is now very confused, he then turns to his mother. "What I do wrong Mommy?"
Lina could not stop but to smile at her son. "Nothing sweety, you are a good boy.!
"Yeah I bet." Murmured Zel, very low.
But Maia heard him and throws a rock at him, hitting Zel right on the face "I AM A GOOD BOY!!!!!!!"
Back to the dog
The dog was still chuckling about what he did to Zel and walks inside a dark alley to meet the persons he want to see, it is the mysterious characters.
"Your late." the Mysterious man said "So did you find Amelia?"
"Ruf, Ruf, au auuuuuuuuuu! (Yeah, and I got hugged by that stupid kid, I hate children!)" The dog barked.
"Easy, easy…………." The mysterious man said, trying to calm his dog.
The mysterious woman was looking at her partner with a sweat drop but she keeps forgetting that he has a special ability to talk to animals "So he found Amelia?"
"Yeah, and he is upset because Sylvia hugged him, and you know how he hates kids."
"And what about the grandson of Rezo?"
"AUuuuuuuuuu ruf!" answered the dog.
"What he said?"
"He said that Rock-face was almost in a fight with Phily-boy." Answered the Mysterious man.
"Alright, let's get something to eat now, it is almost lunch time, and if I know Lina she will be eating the entire food of the festival.
To be continue………
