"Does she even know about it?"
"No, not quite."
Zelgadiss slammed his hand onto the little glass table, forgetting his inhuman strength, and it shattered into pieces. He stared down sheepishly at the table for a moment before regaining his composure and looking back up at the mazoku. "Damn it Xelloss why did you help her take it?"
Xelloss shrugged and answered simply, "It isn't my place to tell Lina-san what to and what not to do."
"Don't give me that, Xelloss, you could have stopped her. Something had to of occurred to you that it wasn't right." Zelgadiss was obviously growing frustrated, and as usual he had chosen Xelloss as his venting target.
"Why, of course I knew something was wrong, but I hadn't the faintest idea of what it was. Even if I had it has come to my attention that the spear was drawing her in far before we had ever reached the mountain." Xelloss had gotten the feeling that Lina had gotten desperate to find the relic, especially when she had become so devastated when there had been a block in the way of retrieving it. She had been so upset that something was between her and the spear that she hadn't even been thinking right, that much was obvious when she failed to come up with the simple solution of just blowing the boulder up.
That had only been the beginning of his suspicions after finding the lance, but this was no time to reflect. There had to be some way for Lina not to use the spear. But how? Eventually the war would break out and Lina would be forced to join with either sides of the armies-the ryu or the mazoku-and fight off the main lords of each opposing side. The spear, supposedly, would be her aid in defeating either all-powerful lords.
If she even so much as touched the spear, ideas of killing off every living being all over world would cross her tiny human mind, and she would act on its influence. Of course he himself could attempt to help her while the spear was not in her grasp. Xelloss was powerful, yes, but not powerful enough to defeat Gav's inheritance.
Lina could fend for herself with just her magic, and do quite a good deal of damage, but the problem was that she had a limit to how much power she could use. It had been a fairly smart decision for Lina to seek out a higher power to help her in the upcoming war, but she was poorly misled into believing her best chance was this spear.
"What is that supposed to mean?" Zelgadiss broke into his thoughts, snapping him back to their conversation.
"Nothing, nothing. It doesn't matter anymore. How long will you be with Lina-san?" Zelgadiss thought for a moment before grudgingly responding.
"From the looks of it I'll be with her for as long as she has that spear with her, which means I'll be fighting in your little war. But that does not mean that I'll be fighting for you, in fact I hope the ryu burn you to a crisp."
Xelloss chuckled but agreed all the same, feeling oddly relieved that Zelgadiss would be there to help Lina control her urges. The question still remained though if it was at all possible for anyone to stop her once she'd gotten her hands onto the spear?
OoO
It had been over an hour that Lina had gone on about her annihilation of the chimera downstairs, and by the time she had realized that Xelloss was gone it was nighttime already. Wondering where he'd gone, she went into the washroom to draw a nice warm bath for herself.
It had been an unnaturally unpleasant day for the young sorceress, but also a very intriguing one of sorts. The uneasy feeling the spear had given her all morning had distressed her greatly so she had decided to let Xelloss keep it hidden somewhere in his cape of mysteries.
She stripped herself of her clothes and accessories swiftly before slipping into the enticingly warm water. After a long day of climbing mountains and ass-kicking it did a girl well to relax for awhile-even a renown sorceress such as herself deserved a break every once in awhile.
"Ah…" She sighed contentedly sinking lower into the warm abyss. In truth she felt a little guilty for snapping at Zelgadiss earlier, he didn't know anything of her troubles from earlier in the day, how could he of? And he did make a valid point, just like everyone else had all day.
For some reason though she wasn't sure she wanted to let go of the spear, she felt like she couldn't do it. Something about the relic had mesmerized her, and she wasn't sure it was in a very good way.
What if the old man on the mountain was right? What if while wielding the spear she became power-crazed and wiped everything with life off the face of the earth?
Her mood now dampened by her disheveling thoughts, she exited the tub and washed her face before dressing for bed. Settling herself between the sheets she yawned and let her eyes drift closed, momentarily forgetting the day's troubles.
