Chapter 33
------
Naga was waiting for Zel to be amazed for her amazing person, but all she got was nothing. "Naga, Naga the serpent!"
"Who?" asked Zel.
"NAGA! Surly you must have heard of me!"
"Not at all!"
Naga falls to the ground. "NOT AT ALL? Didn't Lina ever talked about me?"
"You know Lina?" asked Zel, very curiously to know why Lina never talked about this woman, besides the fact that she has a much better figure than her.
"I course I know her, I have travelled with her before she has ever meet you guys, she was my sidekick!"
"Sidekick?" asked Zel not believing what Naga is saying.
"Alright……..I was…..am her greatest Rival!"
"Alright, I can go with that."
"She has already told me that when I meet her!" taunted Air Jay.
"Give it a rest, will ya Air Jay!" said Naga. "But I'm surprised that you Zelgadiss Greywords don't recognize me!"
"What Are you talking about I don't know you!" said Zel.
"We have met, or more correctly I was mentioned, when it was that octopus accident!"
Zel remembers that time when he talked octopus language, he felt so ridiculous. "I know, you were that sorceress that they have talking about, but you never came because you were eating!"
"That is right, I was hoping on getting a rematch with Lina that day, but I end up refusing it when I saw that Amelia was with you people! I didn't want to fight her."
"Amelia?" asked Zel mostly to himself. What is this woman's relationship with Amelia, Zel will ask that later, right now he wants to know one thing. "What is this test you talked about? What is going on here?"
"What is the test? OOOOH OH OH OHOH! I just wanted to see if you were really serious when you said that you cared for Amelia and Sylvia. Also considering the fact of who you are! Me and Air Jay made all this for her well affair."
"You mean YOU did all this for her well affair!" corrected Air Jay, he did not want anything to do with the Seilune family. "I wanted to beat some one up!"
Now Zel's curiosity is taking the best of him. "What is it with you and Amelia, why do you care for her so much? Who are you to her?"
Naga put on her all mighty stand "I am her Sister!"
"Sister?" gasped Zel. "You mean to tell me that you are the Seilunes missing princess, Garcia?"
"Yup."
Zel slapped him self on the forehead. "Of course, that is how Air Jay knows about the secret passages way on the castle, because some one has told him, namely you!"
"My my, aren't you a smart one." Taunted Naga. "And how do you know the secret passage way?"
"You father told me!"
Naga looks at Air Jay. "He told them, something that is supposed to be a secret! OH OH OH OH OH OHOHOHOHOH!"
"Philly boy sure has a big mouth!" said Air Jay.
"He sure hasn't change!"
"You know Naga, your old man is a moron!" laughed Air Jay.
Naga glared at him for a moment then she begins to laugh as well. "He is a big fat moron, you got his numbers right!"
Zel could not believe what he is seeing, Air Jay just insulted Naga's father, but all she can do is insult him has well? She cares for her sister but she lets her father being insulted? "Alright stop laughing you two! I want to know what you meant by considering who I am! I it because that I am a chimera?"
Naga looks back at Zel. "No. it is because you are the grandson of Rezo!"
Zel hates so much when people keeps reminding him that. "What does that have to do with anything?"
"Everything! Didn't you never wondered why Rezo turn you into what you are today?"
Zel took a deep breath, lowering his head. "Because on that time I wanted power, and he cruelty turn me into this!"
"Was it him, or was it some one else?"
Zel looked up at Naga. "What are you talking about?"
"I know that you still don't believe it, but Lina was right back then when you defeated Shabrimingo, Rezo never had any intension on turn you into what you are today and bringing back the dark lord, but back then he was being controlled by Shabrimingo and he never realised that until it was too late."
Back then Zel didn't want to believe that because of his hate for Rezo. "So if it was Shabrimingo, why did he turn me into a Chimera?"
"Rezo passed all his life to find a cure for his eyes, he was so obsess that he did not even thought of some thing else, and he grew very desperate because of that! That is what caught the attention of Shabri-what's-his-name." Explained Air Jay.
"And you were just Like Rezo, you became so obsessed on finding a cure for your body, following your grandfathers footsteps. Shabrimingo used Rezo to bring back one of his 7 pieces, and he turn you into a chimera because he knew that you would not rest until you could find a cure for your body." Finished Naga.
Zel had his hair covering his eyes "you are telling me that I was being used to bring back another part of Shabrimingo?"
"Bingo Rock-face!" said Air Jay. "That is why Xellos secretly stole Rezo's diary that day when you were fighting Copy Rezo. He knew that if you ended finding it, their plan of bringing back the big guy would have been for nothing!"
"Curse that Xellos!" yelled Zel in his mind. "That explains why Xellos was always stopping me for finding a cure, but what drives me crazy is to think that all this time I was being used like this!"
"This was one of the main causes of why I wanted to test you" said Naga "I wanted to see if you were like your grandfather or not, because if you were, you would just end up hurting Amelia and made her suffer some more. But you have proven that you love her deeply, you demonstrated that when you refused to accept the diary. You have gain my trust in that moment!"
Zel met out a small laugh. "If Amelia didn't help me in the past I might have really end up being like Rezo and being used to resurrected Shabrimingo , looks like she has saved me again." Then he looks up at Naga "Wait a minute! If I gain your trust back then, why did you only stop the fight now?"
Naga pointed at Air Jay. "Ask him!"
Air Jay smirked evilly. "I said that I would help plotting this evil scheme, if I could break some ones face!"
Zel sweat dropped then looks back at Naga. "So why did you do all of this?"
"I have already told you! I did all of this so that I could see if you were the right man for Amelia, to see if you wouldn't end up putting her life in danger. And most of all, I wanted to meet my niece! She is such a cute girl!"
"So you did all of this for your family?"
"That was the idea!"
"But didn't I just hear you said that you don't even like your own father?"
Naga looks deadly serious at Zel this time. "There is a big difference about not loving your own father or not caring for your sister."
"What do you mean?"
"My father is a big idiot, he only serves and listens to justice, and that is why he always believes that he is always right. He believes that he has the right of controlling other people's lives, especially mine, ever since the day I was born he already chosen how I should live my life, what I should be, and to who I should marry. I always was interested on learning black magic, but he always forced me on study white magic, he never gave me any freedom at all."
"But didn't you ever talk to your father about that?"
"Millions and millions of times, but he never listens to me! He doesn't believe that he was wrong. In fact he was already chosen that Amelia was supposed to be a justice hero, and he already decide to who she was going to marry."
"WHAT?" shouted Zel so loud.
"But he changed his mind when she was pregnant of your child. So he decided to control the life of his own granddaughter, deciding to where she must study to become a maiden, and to who she must marry."
"HOW DARE HE!" shouted Zel, very revolted." How dares he try to control my daughters life, Sylvia will live her life has she likes, not has Phill likes!" Zel looks back at Naga. "I understand why you are very revolted at your father. That explains why Phill said that he was forbidden on entering you home"
"Yes, only my mother helped me and stood up against my father when he was doing trying to control my life. She was a travelling sorceress her self, and she had told tales to me and to Amelia when she was four years old about her adventures, she even taught me some of her spells, she always gave me the freedom I need. Sometimes I was surprised of how my mother falled in love with my father. When she died it was a terrible shock to me, but the day before her assassination I made a promise to her."
"What's that?"
"I promise that I would live my life has a free woman, not has a woman trapped in a golden cage. That was when I decided that I would be a powerful sorceress like my mother."
"I see, that is why you ran away. But if you knew the type of person your father is, why didn't you take Amelia with you?
Naga took a deep breath. "I was young that time, I was afraid. And I also knew that I would take a life full of danger, so I believed that Amelia would be safe if she stayed in Seilune."
"I understand." Said Zel then he looked at Naga with a revolted look. "There is just one thing I don't understand here!"
"What is that?"
"Why are you teaming up with HIM!" said Zel pointing at Air Jay. "Don't you know who this man is? This is the man who killed your mother!"
"Oh brother….." sighed Air Jay. "How many times do I have to tell you I did not kill Sylvinia!"
"Shut up you damn liar!"
"No, he is telling the true!" confirmed Naga. "It was never Air Jay, it was my Uncle Christopher who was the caused of my mothers death."
"Christopher?" asked Zel surprised, in the beginning every believed that Christopher was the one responsible for Phill attack a few years ago, but in the end it was his son Alfred who planed all of this, so no one ever believed that Christopher would ever try to kill his own brother. "He killed your mother?"
"In a certain way, yes." Said Air Jay. "At first Christopher wanted to hire me to do a killing job, but of course I refused, I don't do the dirty work of the Seilune, and for the deep respect I have for Sylvinia. So he hires another hit man to do the job. His plan was to kill Phill and his two daughters."
"Just to kill Phill and his kids? But he didn't want to kill Sylvinia? Why?" asked Zel.
"Because he was in love with my mother!" said Naga, very disturbed. "He wanted to kill every one so that he could keep my mother for himself!"
"But in the end the hit man has ended up killing Sylvinia when she sacrificed her life to save Naga here!" said Air Jay has he taped Naga on the shoulder, to relax her.
"I see. But didn't Phill started an investigation to find out who killed his wife?" asked Zel.
"One day before Sylvinias death, I have made an attack on Seilune, making a little destruction, humiliating Philly-dork. And Christoper knew that Phill would be stupid enough to put the blames on me, instead of starting a real investigation." Said Air Jay.
"And five years ago I found the killer of my mother, and destroyed him." Finished Naga.
"But, Air Jay holded the sword that killed Sylvinia!" said Zel.
"That is because I stole it from the hitman after Naga finished him of!" replied Air Jay.
By the way that Naga and Air Jay talked it is very obvious to Zel that they are telling the true. "Ok……I believe in you guys, just one more thing Naga, did you know that Air Jay punched your sister?"
"Ops…." Murmured Air Jay, and he started to walk away.
"He did WHAT!" Naga is very furious, has you can guess.
"He punched Amelia on the stomach and he slapped her right on the face!" confirmed Zelgadiss.
"Air here!" demanded Naga in a deadlier, sinister voice.
Air Jay stopped on his tracks and gulped. "Hum…….maybe I better wait until you're in a better mood, babe"
"NOW!"
Nervously, Air Jay walked back to Naga. "I swear, baby, it was just a little accident, I…...Uff!"
Air Jay was interrupted when Naga grabed him by the neck and start give him a tone of slaps on the face. "WHAT IS THE BIG IDEA HURTING MY SISTER?"
"I'll never….ouch… do it ….uff…..again ….ouch ……I swear…..uff………Pará de me bater!" Air Jay managed to say between all the slaps.
Zel sweat dropped, he could not tell if Naga and Air Jay's relationship was similar to Lina and Gourry's or to Xellos and Filia. "Alright that is enough! You said that I have passed your test, so give me my daughter back!"
Naga let go of Air Jay and looked at Zel. "Oh yeah that is right! You can have your daughter back, and take good care of her, she is a very sweat little girl."
When Naga was about to walk, Zel stopped her. "Wait! There is one more thing I need to know!"
Naga looked at Zel curiously, he sounded very nervous. "What is it?"
"Is it true that Air Jay told Sylvia that I am her father, and now she hates me?"
"Huh?" Naga looked back at Air Jay , who was getting up. "A.J., is it true that you told Sylvia the true?"
"Air Jay smirked evilly. "Of course not, babe! I only said that to upset Rock-face some more! HA HA HA HA HA!"
"Damn you!" murmured Zel.
"Enough talk you two and lets go!" said Naga has she walked to the house.
Zel remained on his place and looked back to Air Jay.
"What is it Rock-face? You want to restart this fight where you will die for sure?" asked Air Jay.
"No!" said Zel. "I want to know one thing. I know of your personal hate for the Seilune family, and you know that Naga is a member of that family. So I don't understand why you are teaming up with her."
Air Jay looked at Zel, with a serious face this time. "True, I hate the Seilune family, but like I said before I have a great respect for Naga's Mother, she helped me escape when I attacked the Seilune Kingdome for the first time when I was 12 years old, she pity me, she earn my respect, and also because I made a promise."
"What promise?"
"I promise Sylvinia, that I would take care of her daughters!"
In that moment Zel noticed something, Air Jay sounded like Gourry when he said that he would always protect Lina. "You didn't sound that way when you attacked Amelia!"
"I have already told you that it was accident!"
Zel did not wanted to waist more time talking to this guy, all he wants is to get Syvia and get out of here.
To be continue……
