Chapter 36
------
Lina Gourry and Amelia arrived to the house, in all that time Gourry has been caring Amelia because she is still too weak.
"Strange." Said Lina looking the surroundings, it looks like a battlefield. "Where is Zel or Air Jay?"
"Yeah, it is all too quiet!" said Gourry has he puts Amelia down. "Could it be the fight is over?"
"But where are Zelgadiss, and Sylvia?" asked Amelia, starting to get worry.
"Let go inside!" ordered Lina has she Gourry and Amelia started to walk to the house.
But they stopped when they noticed that someone is getting out of the house.
Lina prepared a spell and Gourry pick up his sword. "Who goes there?" demanded Lina.
"Don't tell me you have forgot your friends Lina?" mocked Zel has he appeared caring four little dogs and with Sylvia beside him.
"Zel, you're alright!" said Lina, happy to see her friend alright.
"And you got Sylvia back!" said Gourry in the same tone.
"Sylvia….." Amelia passed by Lina and Gourry to see her child alright, tears already falling down her cheek.
"Mommy!" said Sylvia has she ran happily to her mother.
"Oh Sylvia…" Amelia hugged her daughter so tight and crying has she did, finally all these hours of frustration is over, her daughter is save and sound, justice triumphs.
"Why are you crying mommy?" asked Sylvia in the same innocent tone she has gave Zel before, she wonders why everyone is crying.
But Amelia didn't answer her, she looks back at Zel who just putted the dogs on the ground and he looks at Amelia with a soft smile. "I told you I would be back with Sylvia."
"Thank you, Zelgadiss…." Replied Amelia, with a soft smile of her own. Just then she slowly closes her eyes and collapses on the ground, releasing her daughter has she did.
"Mommy?" Sylvia got worried when she saw her mother fall like this.
"Amelia!" cried Zel has he ran to her with Lina and Gourry following him.
"What's wrong with her?" asked Gourry in a worry tone.
Lina checked Amelia pulse. "She is still alive, she is just fainted, but it looks like she is with a fever. We need to take her back to Seilune!"
------
Lina and the others rushed over to Seilune, and they immediately called for a healer to help Amelia.
It is night time.
Every one is waiting in one of the living rooms of the castle to hear what its Amelia's condition, except for the kids who are already in bed.
Every one is worry about Amelia's condition, she is in a lot of fever and she doesn't look like she is going to wake up.
"Damm it!" cursed Zel walking around the room and murmuring to himself. "Why must my life be so complicated? After I finally reunited with Amelia, Air Jay shows up and kidnaps my daughter, now that I manage to get Sylvia back, Amelia gets a strange fever. This time I was hoping that Sylvia would know the true about me. Looks like my life is cursed. "
"Zel take it easy!" demanded Lina. "Walking around and getting angry isn't going to help anyone!"
"Lina is right Zelgadiss." Said Sylphiel. "We are all very worry about Amelia, but we must stay calm."
Normally Zel would reply to them but he is to worry to make a cold reply. "I know that, I know that! ………...I'm just so worry."
"Hey take it easy Zel, Amelia will be fine. She has a lot to live for!" said Gourry trying to cheer up his friend.
Lina nodded. "Gourry is right! Amelia is the justice girl, she will be back soon ready to make another one of her justice speeches!"
"I hope so, I really hope so…." Said Zel in a defeated tone.
In that Moment, prince Phill enters the room, his hair still white.
"How's Amelia's condition?" asked Zel, hoping to hear some good news.
"She is still unconscious, and the fever doesn't want to leave." Responded Phill in a very unhappy voice, then he lifts his hand to Zel. "Still I want to thank you for having the courage to defeat Air Jay."
"Me………."
"Hey yeah Zel, I curious to know how you manage to kill Air Jay!" said Lina.
Zel knew that he would have to tell them this soon or later, but he didn't find the right words to explain it, but he decide to be true full. "To tell the true….. I did not defeat Air Jay."
"WHAT?" shouted Phill.
"He let me take Sylvia by his own pity" lie Zel, because he knows that Phill will freak out if he ever finds out that his oldest daughter is teaming up with Air Jay. "And he ran away."
"To where? Do you know where he ran to?" asked Phill grabbing Zel by his collar.
"He said something about going to the new world." Said Zel in a firm voice to let Phill know that he is not afraid of him.
"Then I'm going to organize a boat and I will go get that outlaw, and I am going to end this family war myself!" shouted Phill then he ran out of the living room.
Every one is still amazed with Phill, after all that has happen he is still obsessed on killing Air Jay.
"Alright Zel what has really happen?" asked Lina in a tone saying that she did not believe what Zel just told them about Air Jay letting them go.
And Zel noticed that. "True, I lie to Phill, I will tell you guys all that has happen" Zel turns to Xellos. "But first, come here Xellos!"
"Uh-oh." Xellos did not like Zel's tone. In fact he never believed that Zel would survive his fight against Air Jay. "What is Zel, my old friend?"
But Zel only punched him on the stomach. "This is for always having Rezo's diary with you!"
"What?" every one asked in confuse.
"Xellos here stole Rezo's diary while we where fighting Copy Rezo. He's been spying on us ever since we fought Shabrimingo!"
Sylphiel covered her mouth. Xellos was there when Sairagre was destroyed and he didn't do anything to stop it.
"I don't believe this!" yelled Lina who was ready to fireball Xellos if Zel didn't stop her.
"And it gets better! He always knew that Air Jay was never going to kill Sylvia. He let us suffer and worry for nothing!"
Every one turn to Xellos with angry and furious looks at him, but Filia was shocked to know that Xellos would do such a thing now that he is a golden Dragon.
"Why?" asked Zel with a furious tone and grabbing Xellos by his collar. "Whydid you never told us?"
Xelllos returned that angry look at Zel. "How dare you ask me such a thing!"
This time every one was surprised by Xellos attitude, no one has ever seen him this angry.
"Ever since I turn into a golden dragon, you people have done nothing but humiliating and ridiculing me. Me, who was once one of the highest level Mazokus of all time, am now a very weak Golden Dragon. I didn't tell you guys nothing because I wanted you people to suffer like you have made me suffer this last five years." Xellos did not continue because Zel punched him on the face, making him crash against the wall.
Zel is breathing heavily because of Xellos actions. "Damn you, DAMN YOU!"
Zel was going to unleash his sword if Filia didn't stop him. "No please let him go!"
"NO! This bastard must pay!"
"Let me talk to him, please! He won't do this again, I swear"
"Why are you defending him? Did you forget that he helped destroy your species?"
This has made some tears coming out of Filia's eyes.
"That is enough Zel!" yelled Lina has she and Gourry dragged Zel to sit him on the couch. "Alright Zel, was my theory right about Air Jay teaming up with another person?" asked Lina, trying to change the subject because Zel has talked too much again.
Zel took a deep breath. "Yes, he is teaming up with someone you know. A woman name Naga the serpent."
"WHAT!" Lina yelled so loud that the castle almost flew to the air.
"Damn it Lina, you don't have to yell!" complained Martina.
"Yeah Lina, what is all this about?" asked Gourry.
Lina ignored him. "I can not believe this! Why can't she just leave me alone? I'm going to pound her good!"
Zel watched how Lina was so upset about Naga, she must really dislike her.
"Who is this Naga?" asked Gourry trying to calm down Lina.
"You seem to know her Lina!" asked Sylphiel.
Lina sighed. "Yes I know her. I knew her before I meet any of you guys. She was my pain in the butt travelling companion, and she like to call her self my greatest rival."
Every one sweat dropped. "Rival?"
"Yes, but you don't even imagine how annoying she is, always saying that she is the greatest! And what is more insurable about her is her laughs!"
"You can say that again!" agreed Zel. "I almost ended up deaf because of her laughs."
"But then she and Air Jay planed this all up." Said Zangulos.
"But why?" asked Sylphiel.
"You know that is a good question." Said Lina the turn to look back at Zel. "why did Naga and Air Jay made all this mess?"
"Naga wanted to see if I was the right man for Amelia, and she wanted to meet her niece." Responded Zel.
"Right man?" asked Gourry.
"Niece?" asked Sylphiel.
"Zel what are you talking about?" asked Lina almost freaking up again. "you are not going to tell me that….."
"Naga is Amelia's sister, the long missing princess of Seilune." Finished Zelgadiss.
"I don't believe it! Naga is the long lost daughter of Seilune and I never knew!" freaked Lina again.
"let the true be told: Amelia has one strange family." Murmured Martina.
"But why is Naga teaming up with Air Jay?" asked Sylphiel. "Doesn't she knows that he is the one who killed her mother?"
"Actually it wasn't Air Jay who killed Naga's mother Sylvinia."
"Huh?"
Zelgadiss told his friends every thing that Naga has told him, about Christopher, about Shabramingo, about how Air Jay managed to get all the information about them and about the dog Kiko who it looks like he is the one responsible for turning Xellos into a golden dragon.
"The dog?" asked Xellos amazed. "The dog turned me into this? Well I noticed that there was the dog when I fought Air Jay, but I never imagine that he could have such power…….."
"But Air Jay could have lied, it sounds false to me!" said Zangulos.
"Zangulos could be right, you know." Said Lina.
"I didn't know what to think back then, my only concern was to get Sylvia out of there."
In that moment one of the healers who are taking care of Amelia enters the room. Zel immediately rushes over to him.
"How is she?"
"She will be alright" said the healer "She got a terrible fever because of all the stress and all the hard work she has put her self into, but she is cured about that."
"Thank heavens…." Said Zel in relive. And every one let out a relieve signs of their own
"But because of this terrible fever, she has entered in some kind of coma, and we don't know if she will ever manage to get up again."
"What?" Zel legs became to feel weak when he heard this, making him land on his knees "No…..."
To be continue…..
Ramon: there is still a lot more to come people.
