Gourry sat down on the bed by the window whilst Lina sat down on the bed closer to the door. He looked towards her expectantly, wondering what it was she had to talk about. If he was being honest to himself, the things they had just been through really freaked him out. And now there was the thought that these strange visions that Lina and himself had shared were meaning enough to say they had a past life. The situation seemed too much for him really and he wondered if making that call that morning to give up his job and to stop renting the apartment was a good thing anymore. He'd pretty much given up his life for this girl only to walk into something he never thought possible.
Lina meanwhile was buzzing slightly from the visions. Her life up to that point was nothing to brag about and she always felt that she was meant for something much more meaningful. She tried her best to do that but she didn't know how and only ended up on the streets. Now she was given an opportunity, a starting point for which her life could now really start.
"Gourry, I need to learn magic." Lina stated bluntly
"Huh? Lina…I thought you said you couldn't find any books on magic."
"I know but, these visions are proof that I was able to use magic."
Gourry was uncomfortable with her bringing up the thoughts of those visions.
"How can you say that, Lina? They could just be dreams, they don't mean anything. There's no proof in that."
"You baka! Don't you remember? We had the same vision from different perspectives. We had exactly the same visions and the hypnotist said she had never seen that happen before. That's proof enough for me, along with the same dreams we had."
Gourry looked down at the ground. Lina sounded like she knew what she was talking about and he wasn't really going to argue with her about it. Unlike Lina, he was satisfied with his life to some point. He was making a living and getting by which was good enough for him really. He did have to admit that something felt slightly off but he paid no mind to it as usual and got on with things. When Lina came, he felt new confusion but admittedly something inside of him felt as though it had healed over.
"So where are we supposed to go then Lina? How are we meant to find information on something that for all we know has never been looked at or used for hundreds, maybe thousands of years?"
Lina frowned a little and she had to admit that finding such a thing would be difficult. She knew though that she had to find it. She had to find that information and learn how to use magic again as she had done in that past life. She saw Gourry's sword skills already and knew that was what he did in the past. So if he was able to do that, then she must be able to use magic if she can just learn it again like Gourry learnt his sword skills.
"I don't know where to look, but there just has to be something around that was long forgotten. It could have been taken to be some sort of historic book, maybe poetry because of the incantations for spells."
Gourry blinked.
"I remember hearing about an ancient book on display in the museum that was filled with old poems. Maybe that's your magic book?"
"Gourry. You better not be kidding me. Are you telling me the truth? Why would you know about such a thing?"
"Well I'm pretty certain; it was only because one of the other displays was an old sword with a blade that could be removed. It seemed interesting. The curators seem to believe that you could remove the blade and replace it with something else, so you could change the sword depending on what you wanted to do with it."
Lina jumped up from her bed and leapt into Gourry, giving him a bear tight hug and squealing in delight.
"Oh Gourry! You're the best ever! We have to get this book now!"
"You know it's a museum Lina, not a library."
"Of course I do, but when I'm able to cast magic, they'll be fine with me having taken it in the first place."
"I'm not too sure about that."
"Oh shut it Gourry. Don't go spoiling it for me."
She then let go of Gourry and lay back down on the bed, sighing softly.
"I'm going to finally learn magic!"
Author's Notes: Ok this was just a bit of a short one. I guess it was more of a filler chapter than an actual one but of course I have no idea where I'm going so who knows what's going on. I always try and leave myself a few ideas when I write a chapter to help me with the next one so we'll see what happens, maybe you've worked it out a little already, or maybe you think you have and you'll be pleasantly suprised!
Oh I really appreciate all the comments you guys have been giving me. I'm suprised by the number I have been having considering this is my first story and I don't really think it's that good. I think the other story I'm working on with Omoni deserves alot more comments considering the amount that's contained in each chapter and the amount of chapters there are. I'm suprised at how many words I've written for Dramata Kurage. All of my parts takes up about 140 pages in Word with font size 10. I've never written that much before in my life and I don't think I will ever write that much for the project I have to hand in for my Astrophysics course in May!
