6.It Wanted to Stay
Xander was excited. Halloween was finally here and he was getting the final parts for his costume. Ever since he had finished reading the series he had wanted to go as the main character. The Orb was just so awesome! He carved the sword out of some scrap wood and painted it up so it looked real. He found a pair of pants and shirt that looked close enough to be authentic. He had also got lucky in getting a hold of some cheap leather in order to create the sheath for his wooden sword. Now all he needed was a cloak and boots, which was why he had come to Ethan's with the girls. While Buffy was busy oohing and ahhing over that dress with Willow he was looking for the final pieces for his costume. A flutter of brown caught his eye. Looking it over he decided it was perfect and it even came with the boots he was looking for.
He looked around, wondering where he was and for that matter, his wife and children. "Xander!" came a cry from behind him and he turned to regard the young woman who had called out curiously. She stopped in front of him and gasped, "Xander, I think something is wrong."
"Xander? Ummm I am sorry my laaddy," he looks her up and down, flushing slightly. "I am not this Xander. I am Belgarion of Riva," he bowed to her just as Mandorllean and Llendorllyn had taught him.
"Oh boy!"
Xander stood and looked at the blue glowing orb that sat on his desk. He looked up at the ceiling and asked the heavens, "Why Me? I mean Ms French, Hyena possession, Inca Mummy Girl, now this, why me?" He sighed and then reached down and picked up the Orb of Aldur. He needed to talk to Giles and the rest of the Scooby Gang.
When Xander wandered into the library, Buffy smirked and said, "Hey Belxander, how's it hanging?"
Xander just shuttered and placed his bag in front of Giles. He reached in and pulled out the twelve book set of Belgarions Saga. Giles looked up at him inquiringly. Xander smirked, saying, "You best read these just so you know jus what kind of power the Orb has."
"Why would I want to know that?"
Xander once again reached into his bag and pulled out the glowing blue stone. "It wanted to stay. It liked my and wanted to help me."
Buffy leaned forward and asked, "Just what can a glowing blue stone do?"
"Well," Xander drawled out, a dangerous smirk flickering across his face. "Belgarion once told Kal Zakath that once he wondered just how the Orb cracked the original landmass that his world once had. He told 'Zakath that the Orb told him and then showed him how he could put it back together again. He then said it could probably rearrange the stars to spell out his name in the sky. The Orb then . . ."
Xander looked down at the Orb, which was now flickering frantically. "No!" Xander stated firmly, "I don't want my name written across the night sky."
Xander looked up at sudden silence that had filled the library. Xander shrugged and said, "To quote Belgarion, 'Now wouldn't that be tacky to have Alexander Lavelle Harris scrawled across the night sky?'"
