Chapter 53

------

After the big final battle against Air Jay and Naga, all the people of Seilune have returned to the city, some become homeless because of some devastation but there are already places for them to stay until their houses are restored again. Galia returned back to his home with the Piko Piko Lina Golem Doll and the Piko Piko Air Jay Golem Doll and his daughter Laia. Has for the Slayers gang they are all resting in the castle after a hard fight against Air Jay, they haven't had a fight like this since they faced Copy Rezo.

But Amelia went to the infirmary to see how her father is doing, after all Air Jay gave him a terrible beating, but what disturbs Amelia the most is the fact of how Air Jay is always telling how her father killed his entire family, how he killed people that could not defend them selves, how he killed children's, these tales disturbed Amelia a lot, she can not believe that her father, the man who has been her role model, would have done such despicable thing. She must know the true.

When she got to the infirmary she saw her father lying on the bed with a few castes on his neck.

"You father neck are almost broken and Air Jay's attack some how also effected his legs, so he won't be able to walk for a few days, but don't worry, he will recuperate." spooked the doctor when he saw Amelia.

"I see. Can I be alone with him a minute?"

"Of course." The doctor bowed respectfully to the princess and left the room, leaving Amelia and Phill alone.

"Amelia…" called Phill a little weak.

"Yes father?" said Amleia putting a chair next top her father so she could sit on it.

"Is it over? Has Air Jay been defeated?"

"Yes, he was defeated. But you won't believe this, Air Jay ended up saving Zelgadiss when he was in trouble only because Sylvia asked him. I guess that Mr. Xellos was right, only children manage to soften him up." Amelia has purposely neglected to mention to her father that Garcia is teaming up with Air Jay, it would probably be too much for her father. "But Air Jay managed to get away and he stole the ship that you were planning on using to go to the new world."

"I see, he planed this all up. He used me to make that ship so he could go to the new world. I should have predicted this."

"Father is it true what Air jay said to what you have done to her family?" Amelia finally asked, she deeply wanted to know the true.

"Yes it is." Responded Phill with so much shame of himself.

Amelia gasped when she heard that. "it can't be…."

"But it is. Our family has always been in war with the Andrades, over the generation our grandfathers were always telling us that they were evil monsters, I never question them of how they know that or what terrible crimes they have committed for them saying that I just trusted their words, I believed that I was doing my duty on fighting them, but no matter how many times I fought them they always beat me and always ridicule me, humiliate me into such point that it made me hate them deeply. One day one of my spies warned me that the entire Andrade family was gathering around for a family reunion and on that same day I have met a sorcerer that has created a poison that is very deathly even for the phoenix. So on that night I hired the cooks to put the poisons in their food, when they eat all the deathly food I took my chance to kill them all…..I killed them all, no one survived. I hated them so much that I didn't spare anyone, not the women or the children, no one, only Air Jay survived because he didn't eat anything on that night. All this time I believed that I have destroyed them for the good of others, but Zelgadiss has made me understand that I have been lying to myself, I have killed them all for vengeance of all the defeats and humiliations that I have suffered because of them."

Amelia could not believe on the story her father is telling, she was so chocked and disturbed, her father, who has been a role model to her all her life has done such a despicable thing. She slowly backs away and felt the infirmary with tears on her eyes.

Phill could not blame her, her father is a killer.

Zel rested on the couch of one of the living rooms of the castle. This battle against Air Jay was just has tire has that the one against Garv, and it left the city of Seilune almost destroyed, it's even more destroyed that the fight they had against Kanzel and Mazenda. "But well, I should not be surprised. Almost in every town Lina passes, it ends up destroyed." Zel almost chuckled when he whispered that.

"Really?"

"HAAA!" shirked Zel when Sylvia appeared near him all a sudden with out him noticing that. "Don't scare me like that!"

Sylvia just laughed at his reaction. "Sorry Rocky."

"Sylvia, will you ever get my name right? Its Zel!"

"I like Rocky better!"

Zel sighed "Oh boy…."

"Hum….Rocky."

"Yes?"

"Are you still angry at me? Because of what happen today?" asked Sylvia in an innocent tone of voice.

Zel just looked at her daughter with a serious look. "Sylvia, what you have done was stupid, reckless and irresponsible! You could have cone hurt! I'm still a little mad at you, but I'm glad that you're alright."

"I'm sorry Rocky. I promise I will never do that again!" said Sylvia in an honest voice.

Zel tapped his daughter on the head. "Good girl." Zel believes that Sylvia came to him to see if he was still angry at her and she came here to apologise to him only.

"Rocky, will you tell me a story?"

"Well….sure why not." After saying that, Sylvia sited on his lap to hear his story. "Well once upon a time there was a warrior who had a freakish look and a Princess witch had fall in love with him, the warrior tried to put the princes aside but she was always with him, and made him feel like person despise of his look and…." Zel stop telling his story when he saw that Sylvia is already resting her tiny head on his chest, sleeping.

Zel let out a small laugh. "I don't know why she asks me to tell her stories when she always ends up sleeping."

"Well, she should be asleep by now." Said Amelia entering the room.

"I know I'll put her to bed." And Zel felt the room in direction of Sylvia's room to put her to sleep. Amelia smiled at those two, she enjoyed to see how Sylvia and her father are getting along so nicely.

A few moments later, Zel and Amelia putted Sylvia in her bed, and she is still sleeping like and angel.

After that Zel and Amelia closed Sylvia's door and walking away.

"Zelgadiss, can I ask you something?" asked Amelia.

"Sure what is it?"

"When we were in the building on fire, and before you send us out of there, you have asked me not to tell Sylvia about you. Why did you do it? I believe that Sylvia deserved the right to know the truth."

In that moment Zel stop walking to look at Amelia. "I know. But I would also know that Sylvia might end up being very perturbed when she found out who I am, and she might end depressed and ruin her childhood, ending up destroying the sweet child she is."

"I see, but in anyway she would also be very perturbed if you have died. She loves Rocky very much." Amelia giggled when she said the word Rocky.

Zel sweat dropped when she said that. "You know, that's not funny."

"Sorry, I just could not help myself." Said Amelia, and then she grabs Zel's arm. "Zelgadiss, can you sleep with me today?"

This made Zel blush, but he smiled at her. "Of course."

After all they will need lots of rest, tomorrow will be a big day.

The next day. In the afternoon

The day has finally come

Today Sylvia will know the true.

So far the day has been going very well. This satisfied Amelia, a lot "the day is going alright so far. We all have a yummy breakfast and no Air Jay, we saw the usual Lina and Gourry fight for food and no Air Jay, we reached to Lunch time and no Air Jay, we have a delicious Lunch and no Air Jay, and now I'm going to tell Sylvia the true and no Air Jay. Oh, I almost forgot, no Air Jay!"

------

"ATCHOOO!" sneezed Air Jay.

"Oh come one Air Jay, don't tell me already got a cold?" said Naga in a mocking tone. "We are just on the sea almost a day, and we still have a long journey before we reach the New world."

"Don't make fun of me babe! I'm Portuguese, a warrior of the sea, its not some cold that is going to stop me!"

"Good, but your dog doesn't seem to be like that!" Naga pointed at Kiko who is throwing up."

"Ruff Auuuu! (Man I hate water!)" Wined Kiko, feeling all sick.

"They say that when a person sneezes is when someone is talking about him." Thought Air Jay "I hope it's some hot babe!"

------

Amelia took a deep breath, this is going to be one of the most difficult things she has ever done in her life, but before she reveals the true to Sylvia, Amelia wanted to talk to her father again.

When she reached the infirmary she found her father still resting to the bed, with a few plates of food besides him. "Father."

Phill was a little surprised to see his daughter came to visit him again. "Amelia? You came. Say where is Zelgadiss, and the others?"

"They are in the thrown room, today is the day I will tell Sylvia the true."

"I see…..Amelia about yesterday, I…."

"Oh hish hush." Interrupted Amelia with a smile, this surprised Phill when he saw his daughter smile. "It is all in the past, I am proud of you for telling me the true and for understanding what you have done wrong. You are my father, and I love you. Air Jay is regrettable, you offered him a piece treaty and he spited you on the face."

"But wont Air Jay be right of doing what he did to me? After all I killed all his family because of my hate. How can I consider myself a justice hero when I have committed such a horrible crime?"

"But unlike Air Jay, you have conscious of the crimes you committed while he doesn't, witch makes you much better than him. And don't forget all the peoples you have helped and saved in the past Father. For the memories of all the ones you helped in the past and the ones you might help in the future, you can not give up your justice work."

Phill could not help himself of shredding some tears when Amelia told him all of this, he has always been very proud of his younger daughter, but today he is even more, because she has proved to be a much better justice hero than he can ever hope to be. "Thanks Amelia…." Phill wanted to hug his daughter but he is still not capable of moving, so Amelia hugged him instead.

After a big hug, Amelia let Phill go. "Well….I guess its time to tell every thing to Sylvia."

"Good luck!"

Amelia walked to the garden and saw Sylvia with the kids, playing with Sylvia's puppies, and Sylvia was giving milk to one of them by a bottle

"Oh Sylvia, the bottles are for the babies, not puppies." Said Zoanna.

"The puppies are my babies!" replied Sylvia with a smile.

Maia laughed when Sylvia said all this.

"Say, does anyone one wants to do a prank on uncle Xellos?" said Val interrupting Maia's laughs.

"Hey, good idea!" Said Maia, very interested in that subject.

In that moment Amelia appeared on the scene. "Hello kids."

All the kids greeted her by calling her Aunt Amelia, in Sylvia's case Mommy.

"Sylvia, can you come with me please?" asked Amelia. I have something important to tell you."

Sylvia know what her mother is going to say, she is going to say that she is going to marry Rocky, but she pretended not to know anything. "Sure Mommy!"

"Ok, and you kids take the puppies and go to the thrown room, your parents are waiting for you there."

The kids gave her an ok and went to the thrown room with the puppies. Has for Sylvia, she followed her mother with the Piko Piko Lina doll that Zelgadiss has gave her.

------

A few moments later they reached Sylvia's room, with her sited on her bed. Amelia tried to find the right words of how to explain every thing to Sylvia, this is very difficult for her but she has agreed that she will be the one to tell everything to the kid. "Sylvia, there is something very important I must tell you."

Sylvia could not help herself anymore. "Are you going to marry Rocky, Mommy?"

Amelia blushed hard when Sylvia asked her that. "Well…….you can say that yes……but that's not what I wanted to talk to you about."

This confused the child. "What is it then?"

"It's about the man you like to call Rocky……he….do you remember when we saw Air Jay for the first time, he called you by your full name, Sylvia Seilune Greywords. Remember that?"

"Yes, I think so…."

"The man you call Rocky, his name is Zelgadiss Greywords."

"Greywords?"

"Yes…..that man…..he's your Daddy!"

The news hit Sylvia like if she has been stabbed in the back by a knife, she was so chocked that she drop her doll and tears forming on her eyes. "My….my….Daddy? Rocky is my daddy?"

To be concluded…..

Ramon: this is the chapter witch every one was waiting for! Finally Sylvia knows the truth!

Sunny: The time is here and its now!
