Friendship pt 2 (Following Naga)
'B..b..b..but you can't! No! You can't just leave!' said Lina, in a strangled voice.
'I...I know, it's hard... But you've got to stay; you know how the peasants are scared of you! I don't want you to get hurt,' repiled Naga quietly.
'Huh! They can't hurt me! I 'm WAY too strong for all of them put together!' retorted Lina.
'Please Lina! You don't understand! Father had them all taught magic and gave them armour! They'll smother you!' cried Naga.
Lina nodded,' Yeah, so I guess that I won't ever see you again...'
Lina watched another tear fall from Naga's face and sniffed.
'Oh, Lina! Please don't be sad! I'll try to come back! Go travel with Gourry till I find you,' suggested Naga.
'Oh please... That idiot ran off with a rag doll! I mean it literally too!' said Lina, exasperatedly.
'Oh, that's right...' muttered Naga.
'Lina, I have to return to Serpentia! Amelia won't be able to handle all the fuss herself!' exclaimed Naga.
'But I probably won't ever see you again!' cried Lina.
Naga sighed, pulled Lina close and hugged her again,' You know I'll try to come back.'
To that, she left Lina sitting on the beach. Naga glanced at Lina sobbing, then turned sadly away to fly to Serpentia Castle.
Lina, still sobbing, trudged back to the inn that she and Naga were staying in. Lina flopped herself on the bed, she lay there for about an hour. She sighed, it was terribly boring with no drunken Naga dancing about the room. She punched the bed to bits, then decided that she felt hungry, so she went to the restaurant near the inn. She ordered a large plate of chicken, but couldn't get aound to eating it. She kept missing Naga and herself fighting over most of the food. Lina managed to stuff a drumstick into herself, then went back to her room.
From her window, she watched children running and catching each other. They seemed so happy, Lina longed for that happiness that they shared. Tears welled in Lina's eyes, as she saw two children who reminded her of Naga and herself.
'Ah ha ha ha! You can't catch me!' yelled the one in purple.
'Of course I will! You'll never get away!' cried back the one in red.
The next day, Lina was swimming in the lake, all alone. After 10 minutes she got out and dried herself. She needed some excitement, but there was no chaos at all in the town, and Naga wasn't there to fight with her. She lay down on the grass and glanced at the sky, a cloud that looked like Naga floated by. Lina snorted sadly and rolled over,' What the hell... I'm seeing things.'
Lina got up and went for a walk, she glanced at a passer by with a great bag of money, and she didn't even go try to swipe it of the guy, she sighed at herself.
'What's wrong with me? Am I, Lina Inverse, missing Naga!' inquired Lina, addressing herself.
'Go and find her... You know you miss her... Go!' said a voice in her mind.
'Ehh? Ewww... Go away...' muttered Lina, feeling disgusted.
'You're not gay, stupid girl, you need a friend! Go find your friend!' said the voice again, with exasperation.
'Oh... Good... But I can't go to Serpentia Kingdom... They'd probably squash me to death, not exactly like Naga said, 'smothering' me...' said Lina.
Then she remembered how she crept into the Kingdom before with Naga, through a secret passageway.
'Maybe! Maybe I can go through there!' exclaimed Lina.
As she flew to Serpentia, she remembered the time when Naga was introducing herself to somebody, she had interrupted and said,' Her name's Naga and she's a pain in the butt,'
She smiled to herself, let a tear slid down her face and landed to an outside town of Serpentia. A panic stricken man ran to her,' Are you a sorceress? Can you fight!'
'Uh. Yeah, why?' asked Lina, cautiously, not wanting to be delayed.
'Serpentia Kingdom has been taken over! The Princesses taken hostage! And their gonna come and destroy all the towns around!' cried the man.
'WHAT! Leave town and leave this to me!' yelled Lina.
The villagers ran and ran to the next town. Lina snorted at them, having no thought to laugh. She had to rescue Naga and Amelia. (Not that she liked Amelia at all, but she was related to Naga, so she really had no choice) Lina prepared herself, eating a good meal, as she needed her strength, and made sure her sword was sharp. She started off to the castle.
