Chapter 17
It is night time already.
The Festival of Spring is over, and after the festivals there is always a dance ball in the Seilune palace.
In Christopher's chambers.
Before he could attend the ball Christopher always goes to a church to light a candle for his dead son, Alfred. Alfred had intended to take control of Seilune for his own purpose, he even used Mazokus to take rule of Seilune but in the end the Mazokus were the ones who betrayed and killed him, because they also had their own plans for Seilune, Alfred was nothing but a puppet to them. As much as Christopher hates do confess it, Alfred took a lot from him. Christopher has committed a terrible crime which cost the life of the woman he has fallen in love, ever since that day Christopher has worked hard to repay back for what he has done.
"Well……..I better get going." Said Christopher, but when he was about to leave he started to hear someone singing behind him, singing in a different language. Christopher gasped in horror when he saw who it is, Air Jay.
"Os Portugueses aventureiros são sempre os primeiros na terra e no mar!" singed Air Jay who is walking slowly and sinisterly to Christopher, and right beside Air Jay was the little white dog who almost attacked Sylvia.
"Y-y-you……" Christopher managed to say even with all the fear. He could not believe that he has returned.
"You look like you have seen a ghost!" taunted Air Jay, and then looks down to the dog "What do you think, Kiko?"
" Au Ruf, RUUUf .(I think he is still the same moron who tried to hire ya for a killing job.)" barked the dog now known as Kiko.
"But you can not be alive!" said Christopher. "You are supposed to be dead! I heard that Lina……that Lina……"
"That she Dragon Slaved me?" finished Air Jay with anger in his voice when Christopher reminded himself of his defeat with Lina. "No………..I survived but that was an experience that I advise every one not to try."
Christopher gasped him horror. "You survived a Dragon Slave?"
"Yes…………and believe me it was hell, every part of my body was screaming in pain begging for death. But I did not come here telling every one how I survived it. I'm here to settle an old score. Namely YOU!"
"Me?" Christopher had his eyes serious, but shaking with fear.
"Yes, you!" replied Air Jay. "You set me up!!!! Because of you I've been accused of a crime I did not commit!!!!"
"I know that!" said Christopher in a low voice. "I've been working hard to pay back for the horrible crime I committed, I………."
"Shut up! Stop taking like you are a victim here! The real victims are the ones who have suffered because of you and your plan! The plan you have made to kill Phily-dork's oldest daughter was a smart scheme but it was prepared with complete stupidity. You are a failure like that moron son of yours. He was such a moron to really believe that a simple contract would be enough to control Mazokus. He died because of his own stupidity."
"SHUT UP! You have no right to talk that way about my son! You…." Christopher stopped when he realised something. How does Air Jay know about Alfred death? Christopher had asked Phillionel, Lina and her friends to keep a secret about his son's death. Christopher takes a deep breath. "So……you have come to kill me, right?... so go ahead….kill me!" demanded Christopher, but Air Jay could feel the fear in his voice.
Air Jay only smirked more evilly "Trust me you jackass, I would just love to kill you myself but there is someone here who has more reason to kill you than me!"
"What?"
From behind Air Jay appears the mysterious woman, and Christopher knows who she is. "No………it can not be you!"
The mysterious woman walks closer to him, preparing a spell on her hand "Yes, it is me. I'm here to make you pay for all the misery you have caused me!"
"No wait! Listen to me! I AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!" Christopher was interrupted when the mysterious woman launched a Freeze Arrow at him, stabbing on his chest and killing instantly with blood surrounding his body.
The mysterious woman, Air Jay and Kiko just looked at Christopher dead body for a moment before Air Jay decided to speak. "Cool! The main reason why we came to Seilune is already in the grave!"
"Au, Auuuu!" (That was so easy!)" Barked Kiko.
The mysterious Woman took a deep breath, then turn to Air Jay. "Yes. Now it is time for the second reason why we are here in Seilune, you know what to do?"
"Oh come on Babe! You are talking to the all mighty Air Jay! Just meet me in the tent and all will be alright."
"Alright, I'll meet you there!" the mysterious woman Ray Winged out to the window and it will be safe for her because she knows that at this hour there are no guards and no one will see her.
"Lets go Kiko!"
" Ruff! Au Auuu ruff! (Hold your horses! I was made for comfort, not for speed!)"
--------
In the ball every one was having a good time dancing, and prince Phill watched his guests eating the food and dancing but he did not pay attention to that, his eyes were fixed on his daughter and his granddaughter who is holding the Piko-piko Lina doll that Zelgadiss gave her in the festival. Phill was in disbelief when Amelia had come to him to say that she is going to marry Zelgadiss. At first Phill could not believe that she is really going to give a second chance to that man who has made her suffer so much, but Phill finally saw his daughter smiling again, that same smile from the heart that his daughter always had on her face has finally returned, so Phill has decided not to say anything, never the less he is still keeping his eyes on Zelgadiss to make sure that he will not leave his family again.
His attention goes back to Xellos and Filia who are dancing normally without making any chaos.
"Hey! Xellos, keep you hand away from my butt!" protested Filia when she saw to where Xellos hand's was about to reach.
"Well then how about I touch you with my tail?" teased Xellos in that grin he always had when he was a Mazoku.
"Don't you eve dare to…………" Filia is interrupted because Xellos gave her a sweet kiss on her neck.
"You know Filia-chan, how about after the ball we go to my room?" Asked Xellos in a seductive tone.
"Y-yes………" moaned Filia.
Xellos smirked, I still got it, he thought to himself. After the nightmares and the humiliations that he passed because of the kids he believes he deserves a reward for his hard work.
Amelia smiled to her two friends, the relationship between Xellos and Filia is just as strange as Lina and Gourry's.
"Mommy?" called little Sylvia who was pulling her mother's long skirt. "I don't like ball's, it is so boring. Can I go to sleep?"
Amelia knows how Sylvia must be felling, she also hated balls when she was her age, so Amelia lowered herself to Sylvia's eye level. "Sorry honey, but not yet. We will be staying here for just a few moments, and then the two of us will leave. I have something very important to tell you."
"Ok Mommy." Said Sylvia with a smile of her own. As for Amelia she is a little nervous, because it is time, it is time for Sylvia to know the truth about Zelgadiss.
------
I the halls of the Seilune palace, far away from the ball Zelgadiss is waiting for Amelia and Sylvia. Walking around very nervous, this is probably the most nervous thing in his life.
"Hey Zel!" called Lina who is walking with Gourry, Martina and Zangulos. Martina and Zangulos are already dressed up for the ball but Zangulos is still wearing his big hat and booth he and Gourry are caring a sword.
"Hey guys." Greeted Zel "Where are the kids?"
"Sylphiel is putting them to sleep" Said Gourry.
"What are you doing?" asked Lina.
"Noting…………just staying here."
"You are not planning to leave again, are you?" asked Gourry.
"NO!" Zel answer it immediately. "I'm just……….worry."
"Is that your hobby Zel?" asked Lina very sarcastically. "What are you so worried about this time?"
"Well…………since Amelia and I are getting married Sylvia must know who I am…….we have agreed that Amelia will give her the news herself, and so I'm waiting for them…… here.
No one said anything until Martina decided to speak. "Oh come on Zel, it can not be that bad."
Lina nodded "She is right, the kid love's you and she will be trilled to know that you are her father, you don't have to be afraid that she will be frightened because her father is a chimera."
"It is not that that I'm worry about. I have not been around when she was born and all that. I'm afraid that she will not understand, that she will end up hating me…………." Zel was interrupted because Lina kicked him on the head.
"For heaven's sake's Zel! When you came back I noticed a special bound between you and your daughter and……" Lina is interrupted when she heard Gourry grunting and landing on one knee with one hand holding his chest.
"Gourry!" Lina wasted no time and runs to Gourry to help him up "What is wrong?"
"It's nothing Lina." Said Gourry "It is just my scar, it's burning."
"Burning?" said Zangulos rubbing his chin. "I've heard of cases like these."
"What do you mean?" asked Lina, helping Gourry getting up.
"They say that when a person's scar is burning it is because it is a warning, a warning saying that the person who made the scar is near."
"That is ridiculous!" snapped Lina "That is all superstition, besides I killed the guy who made the scar on Gourry's chest."
BOOM
Suddenly an explosion is heard coming to where the ball is being held.
"What was that?" asked Martina.
"It came from the ball!" said Lina.
"Oh no…… Amelia…….Sylvia." Zelgadiss cried as he runs directly to the ball.
All five of them started to run to where the ball is being held to save their friends.
--------
It appeared all of a sudden, the explosion came from the ground creating a big hole on the ground, the explosion has made a dozen of injured victims.
"Amelia, Sylvia, are you alright?" asked Phill in worry as he runs to them.
"I' m alright father!" comfirmed Amelia who is holding tight to her daughter.
"Mommy, what happen?" asked Sylvia, very frightened.
"I don't know honey………I don't………."Suddenly from the big smoke coming out of the big hole comes a little dog, and Amelia recognises him, it is the same little dog who was going to bite Sylvia in the festival. Then another character appears from the smoke. It is Air Jay. "Ladies and Gentlemen!!! Kiko and Air Jay are IN THE HOUSE!!!"
Amelia wonders who could this guy be, and why did he do this?
"No…………" gasped Phill in horror "It can not be, after all these years………"
Air Jay smirked "Yo Philly-boy, remember me?"
Phill glared angrily at him. "How could I ever forget you………You Murderer!!!!"
To be continued………….
Alandra: just to remind you people that this isn't the same Air Jay of our group, it is and Air Jay created by us. It may have the same personality of the original, but he has a different story and nature so he could fit on the Slayers world. And that goes the same with Kiko.These will be the only ones who will be in this fic.
