"Lina!"
Lina looked back in time to see Gourry running up to her before he stopped and stared at the castle.
"What...happened?" He asked. Lina looked at him then turned around and started walking off.
"Lina?" Gourry asked. Lina didn't listen instead she carried on walking. Gourry sighed and ran up to her grabbing her arms and forcing her to look up at him, "Lina will you talk to me please?"
"Why?" Lina snapped, "Why do you care how I feel? If your just gonna play around with my feelings then don't talk to me okay!"
"Lina that's not it!"
"Then what is?" Lina shreiked. Gourry let go of her arms.
"Lina it's not like...I meant to hurt you."
"Really? 'Cause you're doing a good job at it!" Lina snapped. Gourry looked at her then sighed.
"I've known you all my life. We grew up together. At first I thought, I could never love anyone else. That you were going to be the one I chose, but It's changed. I bearly know Sylphiel but..." Gourry trailed off.
"But what...? You said it yourself, You beary know Sylphiel...so...so...SO WHY THE HELL CAN'T YOU JUST CHOOSE ME?" Lina yelled. Gourry looked at her then looked down to the ground.
"I...don't know..." Goury whispered.
"No! Don't give me that crap!" Lina snapped before pulling Gourry down for a kiss. Gourry instantly responded and pulled her close, moving mis lips hungrily over hers.
Amelia walked through the halls of the castle. The ones that were out on the courtyard, so the fresh air blew through the hall and played with her hair. She was enjoying the fresh air when
Boom!
Amelia turned her head towards the explosion.
"Was that a...Dragon Slave!" She yelled to no one in particular. She heard footsteps comming from behind her and turned around expecting it to be Luna or one of the palace guards but it was only Tanabata. She stopped and stared in amazement at the glowing red ball of magic as it started to go down.
"Oh good lord..." She whispered. before grabbing ahold of Amelia and running in the opposite direction.
"Wait Tanabta!" Amelia yelled, "What if it's an attack from Hellmaster?"
"All the better to get you to safety!" Tanabata yelled back, "I'm sure the worriors can handle it themselves!"
She has a point but... Amelia's chain of thought was interupted as Tanabata came to an abrupt stop.
"What is it?" Amelia asked looking down at her. Tanabta hung her head down low.
"Forgive me princess..." She whispered.
"Huh?" Before Amelia could say anything else She let out a sream as she felt someone grab her from behind and lift her into the air.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
Lina aruptly broke the kiss.
"Did you hear that?" She asked.
"It sounded like Amelia." Gourry said.
"Let's go." Lina said pulling out of his embrace and running off in the direction of the scream. Gourry followed close behind her, and Tatsuko reappeared running alongside Lina.
"Don't say anything!" Lina queitly snapped to her. Tatsuko just let out a small giggled then looked ahead of them where they found Amelia being held up by someone and Tanabata stnding there not even attempting to help.
"Amelia!" Lina screamed. Amelia struggled under the man's grip.
"Lina...help me.." Amelia managed to say through her struggles. Lina looked at her then looked around. Why was she and the othere the only one out here? Should that explosion have caused some comotion, and what about Amelia screaming? Wait a minute...
"Who the hell are you?" Lina yelled at Tanabata.
"My name's Tanabata, I'm a goddess from heaven."
"Tanabata? As in the one who's robe was stolen by a human man and they got married?" Lina asked.
"Yes." Tanabata responded.
"Why are you doing this?" Lina snaped.
"Because if she doesn't, Lord Helmaster will kill her husband."
"And who are you?" Tatsuko spoke up.
"Aaah yes, the little dragon girl. Why aren't we fiesty. Legend has it that you were the most beautifull gerl in the village. I can see that it was true." The man responed. Tatsuko made a face of disgust.
"Answer the quiestion danm it!" Lina snapped.
"Fine fine, have it your way. My name is Kanzel, a servant for lord Helmaster."
"Helmaster? Two attacks in a row? who does that?" Gourry asked. Lina graoned.
"The bad guy dufos!" She snapped.
"Oh." Was Gourry's response. Lina sighed and turned back over at Kanzel and Tanabata. She couldn't exactly attack Kanzel without hurting Amelia. She cursed quietly to herself as she realized that there wasn't exactly anything she could do to stop him. Tatsuko senced her anger and moved over to her, touching her shoulder. Lina looked aver at her and Tatsuko pointed over at Gourry's sword. Lina looked over at Tatsuko in confusion.
"He has a special sword danm it!" Tatsuko snapped inwardly at Lina.
"huh?" Lina looked over at the sword. Then turned back when Kanzel started laughing.
"Someting the matter? Are you afraid to attack?" He mocked. Lina growled and started collecting magical energy in her hands when tatsuko stopped her.
"Don't let you anger get the better of you. Remember, he has Amelia and could easily use her as a shield." She whispered then turned her head in Gourry's direction, "Gourry, use your sword!"
"Wha..?"
"Just use it danm it! You know how don't you!" Tatsuko snapped. Gourry nodded then placed a hand on the hilt.
"You're scarier than Lina when she's mad you know..." He muttered before Unsheathing the sword. Kanzel's smile left his face as he stared down at the sword, a small hint of fear in his eyes before he put a nutral mask back on his face.
"What the hell?" Lina yelled, "It's just a bloody hilt!" Amelia stared down at the sword in wounder at the sword, before a small smile spread accros her lips.
"Lina! Tatsuko! Go get Zelgadiss! We can win this ye-ahg!" Before she could finish her sentece Kanzel tightened his grip on her neck.
"Amelia!" Lina cried out.
"Lina let's go!" Tatsuko yelled grabbing ahold of Lina Lina and pulling her away from the battle.
"No! What about Amelia?" Lina shreiked. Trying to pull out of Tatsuko's grip but she only held tighter.
"Don't worry about her. We have to get Zelgadiss and Luna. Gourry will be fine. He has the sword of light after all."
"The sword of light?"
"Yeah. They say that long before Kaguya was born the queen from about two generations ago was a powerfull sorcerous who created a sword from the light of the moon! The sword somons the light from the will power of the holder. But the sword was said to be destroyed. At least from what I know."
"How do you know all this?" Lina asked finally getting out of Tatsuko's grip and running beside her.
"I'm a dragon stupid! I've lived for years and know alot." Was Tatsuko's reply. Lina looked at her then back infront. It made sence...sorta. She didn't quite understand it but she had to find Zeladiss and her sister first.
"You gonna just stand there or use the sword boy?" Kanzel said. Gourry just glared down at him and sommoned the light to the sword. Amelia managed a small smile but she was struggling to get out of Kanzel's grip. Kanzel smirked.
"That's more like it." He said before sending out a blast of energy at Gourry. Gourry swung the sword at it, making it dissapear.
"The sword as as powerfull as the legend says." Tanabata whispered, "If I want to see my husband again...I must stop him." Tanabata pulled what seemed to be a hair pin out of her hair and ran out towards Gourry. Gourry noticed this and stepped back avoiding her swinges but still managed to get nicked on the cheak.
"A blade?" Gourry asked jumping off to the side as blood trickled down his face from the cut. Tanabata smirked.
"You're not as dimwitted as they say." She said.
"Not at swords anyway. Everything else I'm hopeless." Gourry said with a wry smile. Amelia watched the scene bellow. She had had quite enough watching this and not being able to help. She managed to free one of her arms and before Kanzel could react she lifted her hand up to his face.
"Elmekia Lance!" She cast getting him right in the face. Kanzel gave a scream and let go of Amelia strait away. Amelia dropped down and ran over to Gourry. Tanabata turned around in surprise.
"VAL FLARE!" Amelia cast the spell out before Tanabta could react. The spell went right through her and she fell down to the ground.
"No...Darling..."
agh! This chapter sucked! it sucked it sucked it sucked! Why can't I get the right feel for fighting scenes! anyway...
Val Flare: At first glance it looks like an enlarged Flare Arrow, but upon contact it causes a tremendous explosion and deals a tremendous amount of damage. It can be used against living beings, and also to open holes in ceilings. Care is needed when casting this spell in a wooden building because the building could catch on fire.
I don't know how many people know of this spell (I know I didn't) So here's what it is. I found it on this slayers website. it so cool.
anyway R&R please.
