Milly: This is dedicated to our cook, Mr. Sanji! ^ ^
Sanji: (far) Meeellorine ~!
Meryl: Enjoy reading ^ ^
in this world Can anything be more addictive than chocolate? For me there: P and that is reason enough to devote a one-shot, I think XDDDD The title, as many suppose you is taken from the movie of the same title ... all I can say is that I seemed an appropriate title for Drabble with Sanji as a hero, not only as a cook, but also because all their attacks are in French, so the title of this fic would not be less ^ ^
Like many people, Sanji took a first contact with Cocolat as a child. Specifically
when he was a kitchen in the Orbit. That day was celebrated a wedding reception on board and grooms had insisted on the cake would be chocolate. The chefs spent most of the morning melting bars and more bars of chocolate in a double boiler to melt chocolate to make that would take the entire five-story pastel. That brownish substance, almost blackish, which had a scent that seemed to him sweet and sour at the same time, we were very impressed.
- What, Sanji? - Asked one of the cooks with amusement to see the boy's nose was almost stuck to the pan - Do you like chocolate?
- I've never tried. - Confessed to the child - you know, right?
For answer Cook sank a little wooden spoon in the rich and gave substance to nod.
- But that does not find the head eh? - He said with a wink.
When I finally took the chocolate first contact with your taste buds, young Sanji found that what the cook had called chocolate tasted bitter and sweet at the same time as the aroma suggested.
- is very rich! - Exclaimed enthusiastically licking.
- I knew you'd like! - Smiled the chef - If you want more, you know - he said pointing to a pair of buckets smeared chocolate resting on the sink - is to lend a hand, that much we miss ...
was hard work, but since then, every time someone in charge to prepare a dish that required industrial quantities of melted chocolate, Sanji always offered to clean the pots and scrape advantage for their contents until it almost was not. Chocolate was one of the few things that never threw the garbage with the leftovers.
During the 85 days he spent in the rock in the sea with the pirate Zeff "Red Feet" after the sinking of the Orbit, Sanji had no time to dwell in chocolate. His only concern was to survive with few supplies at his disposal.
was not until much later, and with fully functioning Baratie when Sanji again to find one dish that had tasted years ago. A client had asked for chocolate mousse for dessert and again had a couple of buckets with chocolate inside Derito. He took one of the cooks had left the stove left momentarily to slide the pan, take a wooden spoon and chocolate embadunarla. But had no time to taste it ...
Before he knew it, a kick inflicted by the leg's owner Zeff old, sent him flying to the other end of the kitchen.
- What do you think you're doing, brat? - Spat with that eternal scowl on his aquiline nose.
- Ayyyy ... And you why you hit me, old disgusting?! - Sanji asked, annoyed, confused and angry in equal measure.
- He asked me first! - Said the older. After looking for a few minutes with rage, he said - That chocolate was for a customer Search ruin or what?
- Do not be so exaggerated, if only going to taste a little! - Defended the child.
- I do not care, as if just going to wet your finger, that's still stealing food to customers. - Zeff fought without mercy, after which pulled the pan from the stove and personally took charge of preparing the mousse happy, but not before one last time to turn your partner - If you want chocolate, I'll prepare you for you, but I do not it again to remove the dish from a client, but still is not do ... And to see if either peel these potatoes have to be ready for the stew!
and Sanji returned back to work, but not before releasing all sorts of invective against those he called "old disgusting"
However, that Sanji served warning to be studied in depth all the baking books and learn to make desserts with chocolate on their own. He even prepared boxes of chocolates to nibble at night, when they unleash the bug and Sanji did not dare to go down to the fridge, knowing that the old man revised the content of these often and take serious reprisals against those who tried to storm secretly.
already in adolescence, Sanji learned to appreciate the members of the opposite sex as much as the good wine. And the chocolate went from being an occasional treat one of his many weapons of seduction, in the most varied ways: cakes, mousses, cakes, chocolate muffins, candy, chocolate shakes, chocolate liquor ... gifts that clients appreciated almost as much as natural charm and impeccable service that the young maitre d 'offered.
And now ... for whom Sanji prepared chocolate? As for your beloved
girls, of course ...
- Nami-SAAA, Vivi-chaaaaaan! - The cook appeared before the redhead and peliazul with individual cups chocolate ice cream, which he placed it gently on the table - I have prepared this little treat for you, my girl With all my love!
- Oh, thank you very much Sanji, how kind! - Praised him the redhead tasting dessert almost immediately.
- You did not have bothered you ... - I lived said, grateful but a little uncomfortable to think about the work that would have cost the chef prepare those ice cream.
- If you do not mind, my princess peliazul! - Downplayed it, smarmy - Nothing is too much for my beautiful girls!
suddenly realized that some girls (especially ice cream both claimed) had amassed some unwanted guests: Luffy, Usopp and duck looked ecstatic giant ice cream cups with the face of hunger and a trickle of drool falling from their mouths.
- Mmmm ... go now that I think ... - Sanji pretended suddenly remembered something - I've left half a chocolate bar in the kitchen ... too bad that is going to ruin ...
Almost immediately, the three hungry ran to the door the kitchen and crammed into a fight tooth and nail to see who they were before the half with chocolate bar.
things considered, he thought Sanji, it seems that chocolate may have more uses than to please the girls ... for example, to ward off unwelcome blowflies.

Taking Diazipam During Pregnancy
[Fanfic - Republish] Living (one-shot)
Hakkai: Hey, welcome back! ^ ^ Glad to see you back ... Well, although you few, haha ^ ^ U but what can we do ... I am only here today, the others have already gone to the lunch break, so I'll be brief (not going to be that between Goku and Luffy finished with all the dishes in the cafeteria, which are capable ^ ^ U.. .)
Here ... our re-published fanfic today is entitled "Life." Fandom: Slayers. Our author defines it as "A reflection on the meaning of life in the form of Zeros / Filia light ..."
* appears in the corner with face to go take
squid * Hakkai: Zeros-san, right?
Zeros: I had forgotten that Amber-san was a Zeros / Filia supporter in his youth ...
Hakkai: Well, it could be worse ^ ^
Zeros: True ... as worse as Chapter 4 of "SLAYERS CONTINUOUS", for example = _ = UUUU
Hakkai: ^ ^ U Anyway, let our visitors to read and judge for themselves. We hope you enjoy your reading! ^ _ ^
The dragon landed on the rocky hill, wrapping himself in an aura of golden light. To fade aura, his giant frame had changed to that of the graceful figure of a blonde woman.
Filia looked at the picture you could see from his position. Further down in the valley was a small village of humans. Of the chimneys of the little houses of straw, wood and adobe smoke kept coming, even though the streets seemed deserted.
Perhaps because, in one way or another, were aware of what was coming.
Kouma The Second War had just begun. It was barely a few years, dragons and demons had returned to dig up the hatchet, the elders of the main temples to the gods of the Wind Dragon and the Earth had become a massive call to arms, in search of brave warriors volunteers who were willing to give his life for good.
And she had replied.
were reluctant at first, especially for its outlaw status. But knowing that she was the only survivor of the Temple of the Dragon God of Fire, and the early demonstration of his power and incredible warrior managing the club, had earned him a vantage point soon among his people, reaching within months the rank of captain. Precisely
was patrolling the area with his crew when he noticed a demonic presence in the area. Few minutes ago that he had ordered his warriors wait in a nearby cave to anticipate it and investigate.
But upon arrival, the feeling of near enemy had suddenly disappeared.
did not understand; used his instinct fail in this regard. He recalled that once, when he was with Reena and his fellow ... ....
Suddenly the feeling came back, just behind her. He quickly grabbed his trusty club in their league with one hand while the other grabbed a large stick, who conceded at the end of his club, getting a long-handled mallet, with which he attacked with all his strength back.
However, the club did not hit its target, the utmost that he was whistling through the air with rippling.
- Do not hide, damn namagomi despicable! - Shouted frustrated -.
- How knew it was me? - While a voice asked the owner to appear behind her -.
The dragon did not waste time and again to swing the club to direct his enemy, but by then it was back to disappear and reappear at your side, in another position.
- easy! - Said the dragon unshaken in their attacks, dodging the devil again and again - you ... .... ZUMMO! ... ... ... ... The only one capable. ZUMMM! ... .... to provoke ... .... ZUMMM! ... .... and dodge my attacks ... .... ZUMMM! ... .... at the same time!
- Oy, oy, Filia-chan ... .... - Xellos said in a mocking tone, while dodging the club - I noticed a little disturbed ... ....
- AAAAAAAAHHHH! - Filia screamed hysterically attacking - SHUT UP, BAKAAAAA!
Xellos laughed as he followed again and again dodging the blows that deal it was Filia. But after a while, he noticed something strange happened; Filia usually tired of chasing after a few minutes to get to insult him. However, since more than fifteen minutes had been avoiding it and she insisted blindly continue fighting with a fury never seen in it, despite showing clear signs of fatigue.
- Hey, hey, hey! Stop it! - Xellos said getting serious - Can you tell what's wrong, Filia? This is not normal for you!
But the dragon did not answer. Instead, he turned to lash out with all the forces he could. The devil decided to end once and for all with this absurd game of cat and mouse. By sidestepping the final blow before she could react, he teleported behind him and held it with his staff by the neck.
The dragon was paralyzed with surprise and fear. Had already been retained once such by Xellos and wished not to have to repeat the experience.
- Filia - said the devil in his ear - you do not behave well. What is wrong with you?
- You know that, Xellos. - She responded angrily - You and I are enemies now, remember? As such, I should not have compassion for you.
- Not even by our old friendship, Fi-chan? - Asked the other smiling, without yielding its deadly embrace -.
- In war, friendships do not count, Xellos - Filia replied - much less those that engage with natural enemies ... .... In fact, I do not know what prevents you kill me now I am helpless ... ....
- Oh, is clear: - Xellos replied finally releasing and separating only a few meters - Knowing that you would not either. Just
feel liberated, Filia turned his body and club to club the devil across the face.
However, surprisingly the devil not only did not move one iota of your site, but also the hub stopped cleanly by hand.
- See? - Xellos said smiling - I have done absolutely nothing to dodge this time, and yet you dared to use all your strength into the blow ... Proof of this is that I could stop without difficulties.
- Je. That's because I'm low on energy ... .... - Said Filia - BUT THAT CAN BE ARRANGED!
Making one last effort, the dragon raised his club over his head and jumped in to deal a final blow to the head from the air.
But even then it worked the trick, again Xellos quit the club, only this time the handle and took advantage of the momentary distraction to snatch it from its owner with a quick motion, while the dragon hurled violently against rocks.
Filia was so bruised and exhausted she could hardly enter the building on elbows. By the time managed to maintain minimally stable, Xellos and he was lifting his face with the red jewel from the end of the stick, forcing her to face him.
A face that mingled severity and worry.
- Forward ... .... Kill! - Urged the dragon to see that the devil did nothing more - what the hell do you expect? Look, I'm exposed, defenseless! I can not make any wrong! What is the problem?!
- precisely that. - Xellos replied - which does not oppose any resistance. There's nothing fun slaughtering an enemy that not even fight to defend themselves ... ... - he said smiling, as usual -.
- Do not be stupid! - Shouted Filia - This is war, not! In war they kill enemies! Rodeo and JUST LET YOURSELF WITH ME FOR ONCE! Xellos
not respond. Instead, he hid his eyes and his face in the thick curtain of bangs, while leading the club with Filia (still held in his hands) to face the dragon, stroking his face with the spikes of the same .
And suddenly, without saying a single word, he threw the gun away and retreated to his staff on his chin.
- On foot. - Finally ordered -.
Although reluctantly agreed Filia and held on his battered legs, looking askance at the devil. Xellos's face was an impassive mask in which no one could figure out what emotions experienced owner, but the dragon could see that his eyes scanned.
- Have you changed much, Filia. - Spoke at last - I do not mean just the clothes ... ....
Filia was true that he had changed his clothes, his priestess costume had been replaced by one more suitable for battle. She wore a white turtleneck or a short skirt with an overskirt transparent lavender and combined with boots short white cane. Dress up on the torso, wearing a copper shell would play with his knee and some bangles that covered her arms almost to the elbows. Its ears, hidden by a bulky old earrings, now stood out from her silken hair.
Only two things had not changed his attire: the tiara with blue sphere that adorned the front and, of course, the league rose a suspended mace when she did not use.
- Well, namagomi - he countered it with a sneer - you also have made a radical change of look ... .... What was your costume you used pilgrim priest take?
Xellos had changed even more than his former partner, the suit was now wearing mostly dark purple to nearly black tint, and was composed of some wider pants, jacket and a coat trimmed at the edges by a silver border. The ankle boots were black and not brown, a light purple cloth belt around his waist and back of the layer covering the shoulders jutting peaks of a silver metal pads, which mimicked the shape of claws.
his staff had not even survived the change of wardrobe, kept as the previous one, but now it was metal, not wood, but, yes, the field End red remained, like the snap of three plates that held his cloak.
- A war must be going dressed, Fi-chan. - Answered the equally sly devil, but soon returned to its previous state - But what I meant ... .... Why, Filia? Why did you get into this war? Furthermore: why war? It would have made more sense to recover your old office of priestess ... ....
- Maybe. - Filia said something angry - but always get the priestesses in the temple, praying for victory. No fighting. The warrior, however, it is allowed to fight, is part active in the battle. And I want to fight.
For a moment, both demon and dragon looked deeply into her eyes, while a tense silence settled between them.
- so eager to die in combat? - Asked the devil mysteriously -.
- What's the question? Absolutely! - Said the dragon with a decision - by getting good will triumph, I'm willing to sacrifice my life! All the dragons would be willing to do that! Plus ... .... - Added, looking the other way and clenching his fists - and why not? After all, my life has no meaning ... .... not after Val-chan left.
- Sooner or later it had to happen. - Xellos said - was clear that I would someday have their own space, a life of its own, independent ... ....
- I already know! - She replied - "But because he had to die in this war? He had not hurt anyone! Just ... ... .. limited only to do his job ... ....
- If it's any consolation, Fi-chan - said the devil after a while - I'll tell you the last time I saw him alive seemed very happy to practice medicine ... .... even if in these conditions ... ....
- comforted me not! - Dragon burst with anger and with tears rolling down her cheeks pain - Neither you nor anyone else can comfort me now! My life is empty without it! Why would they continue to live, tell me?
A new and more prolonged silence settled between the two, only interrupted by the faint sobs of a dragon. During that time, Xellos did not dare look up. Finally, when it seemed that subsidiaries would drown in his own tears accompanied only by that awkward silence, the demon turned and spoke
- What an idiot.
- Huh? - Filia mourn finally stopped and looked up, startled -.
- The dragons you are complete idiots. - Added Xellos -.
- What? How ... ... ..? HOW DO YOU ATREBES, damn Vermin ... ....?! - Filia screamed while a raging fire around her -.
- You are always saying you struggle to defend life in this world, - continued the devil - but despise both you doubt your not sacrifice yourself in vain ... ....
- "KNOW WHAT YOU LIKE A DEMON OF LIFE to criticize in this way, NAMAGOMI BAKAAAA?! - Filia rabies was so unleashed that even his tail, stiff as a flagpole had reappeared from under their skirts, while the golden aura that marked his transformation began to surround -.
Xellos just turned to her smiling.
- You're talking to a demon who has lived over a thousand years, Filia. - Said - Believe me I know what I mean.
This answer puzzled both his dragon transformation aura disappeared in an instant, while his tail folded in on itself to hide from back in his lap.
- Maybe you do not have a reason to fight - continued Xellos - but I, like all of my race, I fight to survive ... .... but paradoxically, the reason why we live is the same as cause our destruction ... ...
- So what's the point to live if you know that sooner or later you will die anyway, eh? - Questioned the dragon - Answer!
- Does it matter now? - Will contest the devil, running his small village overlooking the valley and covering her arms - but to look at humans, they live just a few tens of years ... .... a sigh in the life of dragons and devils like us ... .... yet Did they worry about the day where their lives are gone? Absolutely. They are limited to live the few years of life that nature has granted, to live them intensely, to take every second ... .... Human behavior can be learned so many things ... ...
- But humans are a lot of questions. - Said the dragon - Why they're here, what awaits them after death ... ... what is the meaning of their lives ... ....
- And did those questions that are influencing their lives, Fi-chan? - Xellos asked, looking askance -.
- Huh? Well ... .... - The devil as expected, the dragon did not know what to say - I ... .... I do not know.
- Absolutely. - He answered for her - I have lived with humans, studied their behavior closely for hundreds of years and even though you say otherwise, I assure you that lie. Humans always think in the future, as you say, but at the same time they know that life is too short and too valuable a commodity as precious to waste no avail.
again silence over the scene as Xellos Filia turned around to face who did not take her eyes from the ground.
- Because Filia tell me: Do something that would kill you now?
- ... .... No. - said the dragon -.
- Do you return it to Val-chan?
- ... .... No ... ....
- And ... .... what about your soldiers? What would happen to those who depend on you?
- probably do not know what to do ... .... Die without remedy.
- What is worth sacrificing so many lives, Fi-chan?
- No. - found a dragon looking up with a smile on his face - at all.
Xellos smiled back, at last she understood.
Suddenly a wolf howl was heard in the distance, making the faces of the dragon and the demon is back in his direction.
- Better you and yours you to leave now - Xellos warned - before they find you.
- Do not you will find out, anyway? - She asked him -.
- Not while I do not tell. - Said the devil - you lucky that I came alone ... .... I felt a familiar presence and decided to get closer to see ... ....
- Just like me. - The dragon smiled again -. Xellos
extended his smile and bowed slightly toward her, with one eye open and forefinger on the lips, confident plan.
- Ni I've seen you, nor you me. - Said Juushinkan - will be our secret. Okay?
- Under. - Said the exsacerdotisa, turning to leave -.
When both and were back to back, ready to go every man for himself, Xellos said goodbye saying
- still lives, Filia. And who knows ... .... if you and I survived this war, we may be one day for tea ... ....
- accept - confirmed Filia looked at him askance, for a moment - if you bring the pasta ... ....
- Done! - Accepted the devil a wink -.
And then disappeared. Such
and as he came and went.
Filia smiled to himself, satisfied and then concentrated, was transformed into a dragon and had left the place towards the cave where he had left his comrades. ***
- Here comes! - Said one of the dragons were part of the crew Filia when he saw his captain back to the cave -.
The rest, sigh of relief. Filia's captain had already been long absent and feared that during his inspection of the land had been captured (or worse, killed) by demons.
Fortunately, it was not the case.
quickly made him a site at the entrance to the cave so he could land and do nothing else, he reverted to human form.
- Captain Filia! - Said one of the dragons - It's alive!
- had us worried! - Added another -.
- There will be time for celebrations later, comrades. - I broke it - now I have something important to say ... ... ..
- Have you discovered what it was that energy that you noticed, captain? - Stepped forward another dragon -.
- Yes - confirmed it - I fear that my worst suspicions were confirmed: there are demons in the area ... ....
- Damn! - Exclaimed shocked the troops in full -.
- ... ... From the Beastmaster Mettalium Zella. - Added grimly dragon -.
- The Beastmaster! - Again they shouted all, with a voice which mingled surprise and fear alike -.
- I say we go after them! - Jumped suddenly one of the dragons preparing to leave the cave and take flight - Ataquémosles now we can!
Other, excited approved the idea and soon set out to follow the example of his comrade, but Filia had become transformed into a dragon and now blocked the exit with large wings.
- STILL! - Ordered, getting all obey him - Do not do anything stupid! To begin, we are much less than them and secondly, they may already be aware of our presence!
- then attack before they attack us from us! - Insisted the dragon that had prompted this revolt, returning to get screams Passing by their peers -.
- What if you die out there, what? - Filia asked, looking with his eyes intensely blue -.
- Then at least I died heroically! - Said the instigator - Let there, guys ... ... ..!
However, before there was even given a couple of steps, the powerful tail Filia hit him, sending him back, before the astonished eyes of the rest of the troops.
- DO NOT BE STUPID! - Rebuked them angrily - A death without victory, no matter how heroic it is, will just contribute to decimate our ranks! - And they cry, he continued: - At the moment, a withdrawal is the most reasonable strategy - the first protests soon arose among his subordinates - I know, I know a priori that sounds a cowardly strategy, that does not match our reputation of fierce fighters ... .... BUT - he said with strong emphasis on the "but" - if we leave now, if we survive long enough, it is possible that within not too long we have the opportunity to face the same demons who now fled. They will be tired after so many battles, but we'll be fresh as roses, ready for combat. We will be stronger and more numerous! And then we will have secured victory! IN THE FINAL BATTLE, WE, THE SURVIVORS, WE ARE THE END TO THE DEMONS AND RETURNED TO WORLD PEACE!
Speech and conviction of the words eventually convince Filia also to his troop, whose members, including the dragon who had initiated the revolt, cheered and chanted his name.
- Okay, comrades - I finally said - Let us go then, to take refuge in the mountains Kaat. Follow me!
One by one, all the dragons out of the cave where they were refugees and flew out, heading north. Filia came last, keeping the tail of the procession to make sure that no one was lost on the road.
finally took one last look back. The last thing he saw before he disappeared into the clouds was a small human village that rested peaceful, at the foot of the hill. ***
Xellos
When he reappeared on the physical plane, it was in the midst of a military camp. As he walked towards the largest tent of all, looked around: there were orcs, goblins and demons everywhere low range, each absorbed in their activities, ranging from maintenance and repair of their weapons and armor to the resolution disputes (which often ended with the death of one of the opponents) without paying attention to these trifles, as usual in the campaigns of the war he had witnessed, entered the main tent, where his wife, Zella Mettalium, we I sat waiting between cushions surrounded by several wolves, he had brought from Wolfpack Island expressly for their campaigns.
- Well? - She asked him when he saw the priest enter general - What news, my dear Xellos?
- False alarm, my lady. - He said, bowing respectfully - There were dragons in the area, contrary to what I thought. However - continued with a strange and evil glint in his eye amethyst - I found something more interesting: a human village ... ... ..
At this, the Beastmaster's eyes lit up with the same brightness as its general-priest, while outlining a smile between satisfied and hungry.
- Fresh meat ... .... - She murmured almost salivating at the idea - Well done, dear. - Then congratulated his general-sacerodte - Let's go to rally the troops. Come, my wolves! - Ordered his pack of wolves, which followed lapdogs as if it is treated as out of his tent, followed by Xellos -.
army soldiers of the Beastmaster stopped their activities to see his wife out of their shelter, wearing their skins and war paint, ready for action. That aroused the interest and excitement in them, because if what they suspected was confirmed, this would be their first battle in weeks.
And they were right.
- Hear it all! - Announced the Beastmaster to voice shout - have just been informed that not far from here is a human village! What do you think we should do? - Smiled as I knew well what would be the answer -.
- Let's kill! Let's kill! Let's kill! - Roar was heard throughout the camp -.
- is decided. - Said while she drew his sword, large and curved edge - Knights is open season! TO BEGIN HUNTING!
- SIIIII! A GAME! A GAME! A GAME ... ... ..! - Was heard throughout the camp, with more enthusiasm if it is -.
The following minutes were intense movement between demonic forces, which were prepared by taking all their weapons and armor. Some rode a wolf-like creatures unusually large. Zella Mettalium itself mounted a huge white wolf.
- Xellos! - Extending his wife called to him one of his hands - Would you join us?
- With pleasure, my lady! - Accepted the devil, taking the hand of her mistress and riding the white wolf, aided by it -.
- Go ahead, my troops! - Exclaimed enthusiastically raising his sword demon - ATTACK!
As a breath, they all began to run out of the woods, up the hill, raising it to full speed as bershecks shouting.
And on the back of the rim of his wife, Xellos took one last look to the heavens.
Just in time to see removed the tail of a golden dragon from the storm clouds began to form in the sky. ***
This is how the fate of two people was marked.
live to kill. Kill to live.
In different ways, but one goal:
Living.

But the dragon did not answer. Instead, he turned to lash out with all the forces he could. The devil decided to end once and for all with this absurd game of cat and mouse. By sidestepping the final blow before she could react, he teleported behind him and held it with his staff by the neck.
The dragon was paralyzed with surprise and fear. Had already been retained once such by Xellos and wished not to have to repeat the experience.
- Filia - said the devil in his ear - you do not behave well. What is wrong with you?
- You know that, Xellos. - She responded angrily - You and I are enemies now, remember? As such, I should not have compassion for you.
- Not even by our old friendship, Fi-chan? - Asked the other smiling, without yielding its deadly embrace -.
- In war, friendships do not count, Xellos - Filia replied - much less those that engage with natural enemies ... .... In fact, I do not know what prevents you kill me now I am helpless ... ....
- Oh, is clear: - Xellos replied finally releasing and separating only a few meters - Knowing that you would not either. Just
feel liberated, Filia turned his body and club to club the devil across the face.
However, surprisingly the devil not only did not move one iota of your site, but also the hub stopped cleanly by hand.
- See? - Xellos said smiling - I have done absolutely nothing to dodge this time, and yet you dared to use all your strength into the blow ... Proof of this is that I could stop without difficulties.
- Je. That's because I'm low on energy ... .... - Said Filia - BUT THAT CAN BE ARRANGED!
Making one last effort, the dragon raised his club over his head and jumped in to deal a final blow to the head from the air.
But even then it worked the trick, again Xellos quit the club, only this time the handle and took advantage of the momentary distraction to snatch it from its owner with a quick motion, while the dragon hurled violently against rocks.
Filia was so bruised and exhausted she could hardly enter the building on elbows. By the time managed to maintain minimally stable, Xellos and he was lifting his face with the red jewel from the end of the stick, forcing her to face him.
A face that mingled severity and worry.
- Forward ... .... Kill! - Urged the dragon to see that the devil did nothing more - what the hell do you expect? Look, I'm exposed, defenseless! I can not make any wrong! What is the problem?!
- precisely that. - Xellos replied - which does not oppose any resistance. There's nothing fun slaughtering an enemy that not even fight to defend themselves ... ... - he said smiling, as usual -.
- Do not be stupid! - Shouted Filia - This is war, not! In war they kill enemies! Rodeo and JUST LET YOURSELF WITH ME FOR ONCE! Xellos
not respond. Instead, he hid his eyes and his face in the thick curtain of bangs, while leading the club with Filia (still held in his hands) to face the dragon, stroking his face with the spikes of the same .
And suddenly, without saying a single word, he threw the gun away and retreated to his staff on his chin.
- On foot. - Finally ordered -.
Although reluctantly agreed Filia and held on his battered legs, looking askance at the devil. Xellos's face was an impassive mask in which no one could figure out what emotions experienced owner, but the dragon could see that his eyes scanned.
- Have you changed much, Filia. - Spoke at last - I do not mean just the clothes ... ....
Filia was true that he had changed his clothes, his priestess costume had been replaced by one more suitable for battle. She wore a white turtleneck or a short skirt with an overskirt transparent lavender and combined with boots short white cane. Dress up on the torso, wearing a copper shell would play with his knee and some bangles that covered her arms almost to the elbows. Its ears, hidden by a bulky old earrings, now stood out from her silken hair.
Only two things had not changed his attire: the tiara with blue sphere that adorned the front and, of course, the league rose a suspended mace when she did not use.
- Well, namagomi - he countered it with a sneer - you also have made a radical change of look ... .... What was your costume you used pilgrim priest take?
Xellos had changed even more than his former partner, the suit was now wearing mostly dark purple to nearly black tint, and was composed of some wider pants, jacket and a coat trimmed at the edges by a silver border. The ankle boots were black and not brown, a light purple cloth belt around his waist and back of the layer covering the shoulders jutting peaks of a silver metal pads, which mimicked the shape of claws.
his staff had not even survived the change of wardrobe, kept as the previous one, but now it was metal, not wood, but, yes, the field End red remained, like the snap of three plates that held his cloak.
- A war must be going dressed, Fi-chan. - Answered the equally sly devil, but soon returned to its previous state - But what I meant ... .... Why, Filia? Why did you get into this war? Furthermore: why war? It would have made more sense to recover your old office of priestess ... ....
- Maybe. - Filia said something angry - but always get the priestesses in the temple, praying for victory. No fighting. The warrior, however, it is allowed to fight, is part active in the battle. And I want to fight.
For a moment, both demon and dragon looked deeply into her eyes, while a tense silence settled between them.
- so eager to die in combat? - Asked the devil mysteriously -.
- What's the question? Absolutely! - Said the dragon with a decision - by getting good will triumph, I'm willing to sacrifice my life! All the dragons would be willing to do that! Plus ... .... - Added, looking the other way and clenching his fists - and why not? After all, my life has no meaning ... .... not after Val-chan left.
- Sooner or later it had to happen. - Xellos said - was clear that I would someday have their own space, a life of its own, independent ... ....
- I already know! - She replied - "But because he had to die in this war? He had not hurt anyone! Just ... ... .. limited only to do his job ... ....
- If it's any consolation, Fi-chan - said the devil after a while - I'll tell you the last time I saw him alive seemed very happy to practice medicine ... .... even if in these conditions ... ....
- comforted me not! - Dragon burst with anger and with tears rolling down her cheeks pain - Neither you nor anyone else can comfort me now! My life is empty without it! Why would they continue to live, tell me?
A new and more prolonged silence settled between the two, only interrupted by the faint sobs of a dragon. During that time, Xellos did not dare look up. Finally, when it seemed that subsidiaries would drown in his own tears accompanied only by that awkward silence, the demon turned and spoke
- What an idiot.
- Huh? - Filia mourn finally stopped and looked up, startled -.
- The dragons you are complete idiots. - Added Xellos -.
- What? How ... ... ..? HOW DO YOU ATREBES, damn Vermin ... ....?! - Filia screamed while a raging fire around her -.
- You are always saying you struggle to defend life in this world, - continued the devil - but despise both you doubt your not sacrifice yourself in vain ... ....
- "KNOW WHAT YOU LIKE A DEMON OF LIFE to criticize in this way, NAMAGOMI BAKAAAA?! - Filia rabies was so unleashed that even his tail, stiff as a flagpole had reappeared from under their skirts, while the golden aura that marked his transformation began to surround -.
Xellos just turned to her smiling.
- You're talking to a demon who has lived over a thousand years, Filia. - Said - Believe me I know what I mean.
This answer puzzled both his dragon transformation aura disappeared in an instant, while his tail folded in on itself to hide from back in his lap.
- Maybe you do not have a reason to fight - continued Xellos - but I, like all of my race, I fight to survive ... .... but paradoxically, the reason why we live is the same as cause our destruction ... ...
- So what's the point to live if you know that sooner or later you will die anyway, eh? - Questioned the dragon - Answer!
- Does it matter now? - Will contest the devil, running his small village overlooking the valley and covering her arms - but to look at humans, they live just a few tens of years ... .... a sigh in the life of dragons and devils like us ... .... yet Did they worry about the day where their lives are gone? Absolutely. They are limited to live the few years of life that nature has granted, to live them intensely, to take every second ... .... Human behavior can be learned so many things ... ...
- But humans are a lot of questions. - Said the dragon - Why they're here, what awaits them after death ... ... what is the meaning of their lives ... ....
- And did those questions that are influencing their lives, Fi-chan? - Xellos asked, looking askance -.
- Huh? Well ... .... - The devil as expected, the dragon did not know what to say - I ... .... I do not know.
- Absolutely. - He answered for her - I have lived with humans, studied their behavior closely for hundreds of years and even though you say otherwise, I assure you that lie. Humans always think in the future, as you say, but at the same time they know that life is too short and too valuable a commodity as precious to waste no avail.
again silence over the scene as Xellos Filia turned around to face who did not take her eyes from the ground.
- Because Filia tell me: Do something that would kill you now?
- ... .... No. - said the dragon -.
- Do you return it to Val-chan?
- ... .... No ... ....
- And ... .... what about your soldiers? What would happen to those who depend on you?
- probably do not know what to do ... .... Die without remedy.
- What is worth sacrificing so many lives, Fi-chan?
- No. - found a dragon looking up with a smile on his face - at all.
Xellos smiled back, at last she understood.
Suddenly a wolf howl was heard in the distance, making the faces of the dragon and the demon is back in his direction.
- Better you and yours you to leave now - Xellos warned - before they find you.
- Do not you will find out, anyway? - She asked him -.
- Not while I do not tell. - Said the devil - you lucky that I came alone ... .... I felt a familiar presence and decided to get closer to see ... ....
- Just like me. - The dragon smiled again -. Xellos
extended his smile and bowed slightly toward her, with one eye open and forefinger on the lips, confident plan.
- Ni I've seen you, nor you me. - Said Juushinkan - will be our secret. Okay?
- Under. - Said the exsacerdotisa, turning to leave -.
When both and were back to back, ready to go every man for himself, Xellos said goodbye saying
- still lives, Filia. And who knows ... .... if you and I survived this war, we may be one day for tea ... ....
- accept - confirmed Filia looked at him askance, for a moment - if you bring the pasta ... ....
- Done! - Accepted the devil a wink -.
And then disappeared. Such
and as he came and went.
Filia smiled to himself, satisfied and then concentrated, was transformed into a dragon and had left the place towards the cave where he had left his comrades. ***
- Here comes! - Said one of the dragons were part of the crew Filia when he saw his captain back to the cave -.
The rest, sigh of relief. Filia's captain had already been long absent and feared that during his inspection of the land had been captured (or worse, killed) by demons.
Fortunately, it was not the case.
quickly made him a site at the entrance to the cave so he could land and do nothing else, he reverted to human form.
- Captain Filia! - Said one of the dragons - It's alive!
- had us worried! - Added another -.
- There will be time for celebrations later, comrades. - I broke it - now I have something important to say ... ... ..
- Have you discovered what it was that energy that you noticed, captain? - Stepped forward another dragon -.
- Yes - confirmed it - I fear that my worst suspicions were confirmed: there are demons in the area ... ....
- Damn! - Exclaimed shocked the troops in full -.
- ... ... From the Beastmaster Mettalium Zella. - Added grimly dragon -.
- The Beastmaster! - Again they shouted all, with a voice which mingled surprise and fear alike -.
- I say we go after them! - Jumped suddenly one of the dragons preparing to leave the cave and take flight - Ataquémosles now we can!
Other, excited approved the idea and soon set out to follow the example of his comrade, but Filia had become transformed into a dragon and now blocked the exit with large wings.
- STILL! - Ordered, getting all obey him - Do not do anything stupid! To begin, we are much less than them and secondly, they may already be aware of our presence!
- then attack before they attack us from us! - Insisted the dragon that had prompted this revolt, returning to get screams Passing by their peers -.
- What if you die out there, what? - Filia asked, looking with his eyes intensely blue -.
- Then at least I died heroically! - Said the instigator - Let there, guys ... ... ..!
However, before there was even given a couple of steps, the powerful tail Filia hit him, sending him back, before the astonished eyes of the rest of the troops.
- DO NOT BE STUPID! - Rebuked them angrily - A death without victory, no matter how heroic it is, will just contribute to decimate our ranks! - And they cry, he continued: - At the moment, a withdrawal is the most reasonable strategy - the first protests soon arose among his subordinates - I know, I know a priori that sounds a cowardly strategy, that does not match our reputation of fierce fighters ... .... BUT - he said with strong emphasis on the "but" - if we leave now, if we survive long enough, it is possible that within not too long we have the opportunity to face the same demons who now fled. They will be tired after so many battles, but we'll be fresh as roses, ready for combat. We will be stronger and more numerous! And then we will have secured victory! IN THE FINAL BATTLE, WE, THE SURVIVORS, WE ARE THE END TO THE DEMONS AND RETURNED TO WORLD PEACE!
Speech and conviction of the words eventually convince Filia also to his troop, whose members, including the dragon who had initiated the revolt, cheered and chanted his name.
- Okay, comrades - I finally said - Let us go then, to take refuge in the mountains Kaat. Follow me!
One by one, all the dragons out of the cave where they were refugees and flew out, heading north. Filia came last, keeping the tail of the procession to make sure that no one was lost on the road.
finally took one last look back. The last thing he saw before he disappeared into the clouds was a small human village that rested peaceful, at the foot of the hill. ***
Xellos
When he reappeared on the physical plane, it was in the midst of a military camp. As he walked towards the largest tent of all, looked around: there were orcs, goblins and demons everywhere low range, each absorbed in their activities, ranging from maintenance and repair of their weapons and armor to the resolution disputes (which often ended with the death of one of the opponents) without paying attention to these trifles, as usual in the campaigns of the war he had witnessed, entered the main tent, where his wife, Zella Mettalium, we I sat waiting between cushions surrounded by several wolves, he had brought from Wolfpack Island expressly for their campaigns.
- Well? - She asked him when he saw the priest enter general - What news, my dear Xellos?
- False alarm, my lady. - He said, bowing respectfully - There were dragons in the area, contrary to what I thought. However - continued with a strange and evil glint in his eye amethyst - I found something more interesting: a human village ... ... ..
At this, the Beastmaster's eyes lit up with the same brightness as its general-priest, while outlining a smile between satisfied and hungry.
- Fresh meat ... .... - She murmured almost salivating at the idea - Well done, dear. - Then congratulated his general-sacerodte - Let's go to rally the troops. Come, my wolves! - Ordered his pack of wolves, which followed lapdogs as if it is treated as out of his tent, followed by Xellos -.
army soldiers of the Beastmaster stopped their activities to see his wife out of their shelter, wearing their skins and war paint, ready for action. That aroused the interest and excitement in them, because if what they suspected was confirmed, this would be their first battle in weeks.
And they were right.
- Hear it all! - Announced the Beastmaster to voice shout - have just been informed that not far from here is a human village! What do you think we should do? - Smiled as I knew well what would be the answer -.
- Let's kill! Let's kill! Let's kill! - Roar was heard throughout the camp -.
- is decided. - Said while she drew his sword, large and curved edge - Knights is open season! TO BEGIN HUNTING!
- SIIIII! A GAME! A GAME! A GAME ... ... ..! - Was heard throughout the camp, with more enthusiasm if it is -.
The following minutes were intense movement between demonic forces, which were prepared by taking all their weapons and armor. Some rode a wolf-like creatures unusually large. Zella Mettalium itself mounted a huge white wolf.
- Xellos! - Extending his wife called to him one of his hands - Would you join us?
- With pleasure, my lady! - Accepted the devil, taking the hand of her mistress and riding the white wolf, aided by it -.
- Go ahead, my troops! - Exclaimed enthusiastically raising his sword demon - ATTACK!
As a breath, they all began to run out of the woods, up the hill, raising it to full speed as bershecks shouting.
And on the back of the rim of his wife, Xellos took one last look to the heavens.
Just in time to see removed the tail of a golden dragon from the storm clouds began to form in the sky. ***
This is how the fate of two people was marked.
live to kill. Kill to live.
In different ways, but one goal:
Living.

Zeros: Okay, then let's go! Ladies and gentlemen, I present the re-publication of the first chapter of SLAYERS CONTINUOUS!
CHAPTER 1: 16 years after
The scene is here in a little way outside Zefilia. One way in which everyday people from all walks go, often traveling merchants, mercenaries and bandits but also low mounted looking rich at the expense of the merchants, through the protection and theft respectively.
In the distance the road appears, suddenly, a bright red light, followed by the sound of an explosion. Seconds later, fleeing the desperate, there are about a dozen bandits. There is a second explosion, similar to the previous, and the bandits are hit by it. By the time the smoke has dissipated, leaving only a pile of charred bodies and whiners.
A young girl watched the scene with a smirk.
- Great! Ten hit! I beat my record again! - Exclaimed triumphantly -.
was a pretty petite girl (barely 65 1m up from the ground), but agile. Her hair, pale pink, was twisted and caught in a kind of bun, held by a black ribbon. He wore a brown velvet skirt and a very clear short-sleeve shirt light blue (like his eyes), that exposed her navel. In addition, over the shirt had a set of chest and shoulder pads and wearing an black tape holding a sword. Her name was Mina
Gabriev and he was 15.
- Miss Gabriev Erm ... do not want to sound a killjoy, but ... Do not you think that it went a little bit?
who had spoken, a man of thirty and so many brown hair cut in saucepan and humble garb, seemed terribly nervous, like the horse that pulled his cart. Judging by the loading of jars filled with the famous wine Zefilia fresh from the vines that had in the said car was easily deduced that the man was one of many carriers in and out regularly Zefilia.
Mina turned to the carrier, who was hired as a bodyguard for him and his custody goods and protects them from assault by bandits as those just found. He reflected a few minutes about watching his protégé and finally, putting his posing proudly with arms akimbo, legs apart and cheerful smile on his face, said
- Maybe I went a bit ... But I'm like, I can not be so powerful!
Mina laughed at his sentence while his protege and his horse looked at her with a mixture of concern and embarrassment. Perhaps, thought the carrier was not such a good idea to hire protect him from bandits. More would have been worth hiring someone to protect him from it ...
- either way - he continued - we must hurry, I have to leave the jars in the store before noon. And judging by the position of the sun, and should not be long for this hour!
- You're right. - Corroborated Mina - with so many bands we delayed. And the sooner you turn in your jars, before I get paid.
saying, Mina stood behind the car.
- What ... what will you do? - Asked the carrier with some trepidation in his voice -.
- Very simple: I'll just give it a push. - Mina replied simply -.
- A little help? - Asked the stranger - But woman, if this car is heavy. And difficult for me out of the mud, I do not think I can ...
- Strike Wind! - She cried, while I had done speaking -.
Unfortunately for her and her client-protected, Mina had been three people with the Wind Blow; thought to create a current car quickly drive through the streets of Zefilia and instead had got the carrier, its horse and carriage saliesen flying, literally. He sighed heavily and thought If you mom tells me: "Before launching a gust of wind first make sure you aim where you ...." decided then that I could not waste any more time and flew using levitation to where his protégé, they break their necks.
Meanwhile, still in the air, the carrier and hugged his equine companion looked scared while down, which will surely end up hopelessly despachurrados.
- Good! - Mina waved his hand flying to appear suddenly - I regret what happened, I think I spent with the power of wind blow ...
- Do something, they'll kill us! - Begged his protégé -.
- Listen to me I was hired to protect him from the bandits, not to save him from falling from the sky. - Mina said with carelessness - If you want to do odd jobs will have to pay me extra. Not my fault you do not know levitate ...
- how to break jars and ME BREAK YO HEAD TO FALL, I THINK NOT PAY OR a single penny!
Alarmed at the prospect of running out of cash, the young witch cast a Raywing quickly. The bubble wrapped them led them floating through the air towards the store of wine, landing softly on the pavement without damage.
- Wow, fast! - Said the store - is not yet noon and already have arrived. Good stuff!
After downloading the jars (which despite the bustle did not suffer even a scratch), the manager went to see the pattern the carrier who delivered the 150 gold coins for the odd job. It was then mine, touching the carrier's shoulder to get attention, decided to claim their share.
- If I remember correctly - he said - going to 10% right?
- Keep it! - Screamed the carrier suddenly turning pale - Keep it! I do not see it anymore or to you or your spells! And that's what to carry goods for me. Yes! A lettuce plant them now. Heh, heh! The lettuce is selling well lately ...
And without further delay spurred his horse and was quick as the soul that leads to hell. The shop owner looked at Mina and the carrier, which was out of sight in the distance, looking with amazement.
- What this does is it, Mina? - Asked the confused pattern -.
- Ni idea. I just did what I asked. - Said the girl - but hey, at least it was worth. - Added looking at his right (ahem) won money bag - now, to celebrate with a meal at Aunt Moon's Tavern!
* * *
The 4 Kings Tavern-Dragon, was a local dingy, dark and snuff smell given off by virtually 24 hours a day. But leisure was the place preferred by the inhabitants of Zefilia, perhaps because it was the ideal place to fight if looking or because it was the perfect place to hide for a while without being persecuted by the authorities (in case you were a murderer, a bandit or an outlaw) or perhaps for good physical treatment and its owner, Investor Luna, who also prepared the best food this side of the barrier. Was that primarily the reason why Mina liked the location.
also made friends with his aunt, to an extent that could not understand why her mother could not see or painting. For Mina, Luna was a woman smiling, attentive and a good friend of jokes, firm and serious when necessary and above all, a person of trust that could tell you everything.
The atmosphere of the tavern when Mina came was not very different from other occasions. Customers who were not engaged in a fight, he played all his possessions playing cards or drinking alcohol and smoking as Cossacks.
Maybe that's why he was surprised to see a man, who hid his face under the hood of his coat, light colored like the rest of his dress, sipping a cup of black coffee, silent and skulking sitting at a table located in a corner of the tavern.
- Mina - Luna waved her aunt from the bar, making him forget of that mysterious man - What's it going, girl? A lot of work lately?
- Yes. And very well paid indeed. - Mina said, proudly showing the bag of money just to win - That's why I'm here. I have come to celebrate with a binge of your delicious food!
- Then you'll have to wait. - Luna said while filling beer a couple of jars and put them on a tray - Today I am very busy with that I have no time to get to cook for you now ...
- What's wrong? Will that beer or not? - Shouted a guttural voice client from the other side of the tavern -.
- Yes I'm coming! - Luna shouted turn while carrying the tray and another tray of beers over - a little patience, man!
- Let me handle me. - Mina offered trays taking the hands of her aunt - and you in return I will prepare the beef stew so good that you do right?
Luna looked at her niece forcing a half smile. That girl had inherited her mother's voracious appetite and could do anything to get food, especially whether it was that she cooked.
- Okay. - Finally agreed - but as a customer complains, goodbye to stew Understood?
- A order, Big Boss! - Mina said forcing a smile and carrying trays to tables for -.
During the next 15 minutes Mina was serving drinks to customers, noting the food orders and cleaning tables when guests were leaving. It was hard work, but mine was used, not the first time I worked as a waitress at the tavern with his aunt. It was almost always the first to volunteer, either in exchange for a generous salary, as well as payment to a good meal. That was another reason why the Moon along with his niece, because often, threw a cable (Reena simply wanted no part of it and as for Gaudy ... say that the last time that asked for help many more damage caused by accident than those produced during fights between clients)
On one occasion, Mina had to pour a fresh cup of coffee a mysterious man. He tried to seize this moment to see her face, but the man looked down further hiding, which gave him to understand he did not want to be recognized. So let him be mine. Mina
When he had finished his work and the customers were satisfied, Luna returned to the kitchen with a huge bowl of beef stew and a few other things he had prepared for her niece.
- Ten, girl and take advantage. - Luna said leaving dishes in a free table and then returning to the kitchen -.
- Thanks! - Mina said settling on the table and beginning to taste the stew and other things that her aunt had prepared -.
Mina had not only inherited her mother's appetite, but the table manners and clients, particularly those who came first to the bar (the regulars were already more than used to such a shameful spectacle) looked sideways and with a huge Goton of sweat emanating from his forehead as Mina ate hurriedly, without pause and almost without chewing. Iba
Mina to eat a sausage stuffed with cheese, when a huge hand was planted in the shoulder, startling her. Slowly turned and found a tall man, much higher even than his father, a man who many would define the physiognomy type hangers. His well developed muscles showing through a shirt torn and his face square dominated by a scar across his left cheek. His head was shaved and his face adorned a thick ribbon of dark green.
The big man smiled a half smile and he said to someone who was behind it:
- Is this the girl who attacked you, Minus?
The aforementioned stuck behind the big man. Despite wearing bandages for everywhere and barely holding a pair of crutches, Mina recognized him as one of the bandits left with fried ball of fire, particularly that called itself the leader of the group.
- Yes, yes she is! That's the crazy woman who attacked me! - Said pointing a shaking finger -.
the
The big man looked back, scrutinizing in depth, from top to bottom. Then he began to laugh, first for himself, but then more and more vigorously until burst into laughter that was heard throughout the pub and caught some of his followers.
- JA, JA, JA, JA, JA! "And this is what you say you hit a beating? JA, JA, JA, JA! Minus, of truth, you are pathetic! You let a girl win three on the fourth! JA, JA, JA, JA!
At this, he pointed to mine a vein in his forehead. Like his mother, was irritated that people call him kid, brat, breeding and the like who questioned her womanhood. He got up angrily and faced the big man with a pose of superiority, saying defiantly:
- Hey, big boy, be careful what you say because you could eat your words!
- Who tells me? - Said the big man leaning Mina (who barely reached him just past the waist) - You, little girl?
- As if you did not know - Mina said in a tone of superiority while would back her braid - I'm the incredible, incomparable Gabriev Mina, daughter of Reena Invers powerful sorceress and the legendary swordsman of the Sword of Light, Gaudy Gabriev .
- For I am - said the big man bringing his face close to mine - Strider Fermentor, that idiot brother there - he added, pointing to Minus dismissively - and the most bloodthirsty murderer west of the Great Barrier. And believe me when I say girl riffraff like you've charged me with them handfuls and bare hands ... - threatened to put his fist against Mina -. He
powerful fist, however, seemed to impress Mina, who was content to reply:
- If you think that's why I going to be scary, you're wrong. Moreover, if you keep touching his nose with it that I'm just a girl, I'll just end up beating when you're going to be worse than your brother ...
Strider did not take that warning seriously and laughed even more, becoming to infect their followers. With a face that seemed to say: "You asked for it," Mina got into position and quickly drew his sword, like a shot from next to Strider.
There was total silence. Strider even stopped laughing, amazed at the speed of the girl. Mina turned to see the result of its lightning attack. Within seconds, a trickle of blood appeared on the left cheek of Strider, just above the previous scar, cross through it. Strider
felt his cheek and looked at his bloodstained hands. The surprise came the anger and his hand closed, while she turned to Mina.
- Nobody, I repeat NO ONE - calmly and quietly said, but angry tone - dare slit Frementor Strider's face and lives.
Having said that snapped his fingers and some of the men who accompanied him came to Mina, brandishing their weapons.
Then, with a cry of war, Mina showed its potential in the swordplay.
The flexible and rapid movements that allowed him to dodge one after the other weapons and opponents with fury and precision attack against them was something I had learned very well from his father. And though he never reached his level, if it was an outstanding student, as was demonstrated at this time.
However, despite their efforts, whenever felt more exhausted. When just one, came three others to replace him. At no time was set at that Strider was so well together. Most seemed to their opponents ground sprouted like mushrooms in autumn. So, little by little, he saw more and more depressed by the henchmen of the villain, until it was completely surrounded by them, without any possibility of movement.
- JA, JA, JA, JA! What? You no longer look so brave are you, girl? - -. Laughed Strider
- 25 to one ... Tsk, tsk, tsk ... - suddenly said a voice behind him - That's not a fair number, I'm afraid ...
Surprised all turned to the owner of the voice. The only person who had not left the tavern and stood still at his desk and rushing what was left of his coffee.
The mysterious man who had so Mina attention.
- This is not your business! - Said Strider - So no goals noses where they do not call you!
- Oh, quite the contrary. - Said the mystery man - Anyone who is in danger is my business.
At that moment the mysterious man rose from the table and removed his hood, revealing his face at last. It was a boy of about the same age Mina, though somewhat higher than this. His hair was jet black and short, with a kind of bangs that hid half his face, exposing one of her eyes, a beautiful steel gray color.
- But who the hell are you? - Asked Strider -.
- My name is Andracis Greywords. - Said the boy drew his sword and in the name of justice will make you pay for your sins.
- Well what's this? - Strider said exasperated and putting a face that seemed to say: "Please no more" - A convention of sadomasochistic swordsmen kids? It will be possible ... Let's see, you, you and you - then said, pointing to three of his best men - encargaos him. The three alluded
approached this Andracis and it responded with a quick and fleeting Claymore sword that left them totally KO.
Mina opened her eyes wide to see that. It was very fast, maybe as fast or faster than her and working as anyone else. Whoever taught the swordplay, had done a great job.
Before Strider could order they finished with him, Andracis sent to three or four others, clearing the way that it would take to mine and allowing it to be incorporated into the fray. The bodies of the followers fell slowly on the floor of the tavern, badly wounded by the two blades of the swords that drove the young. At one point, both were back to back, took time to tell Mina Andracis, loud to hear him amid the din:
- You're so good!
- Thanks! - Thanked him while lashed to one that was coming with a hatchet - You either do it wrong!
- Pse, well ... - she said with false modesty. After a wounded who ran a club and continued: - Hey, no thank you have not, but ... Why I have saved?
- It was my duty. - Andracis answered simply - and also the coffee you served me was very good.
- Thanks, but merit is not mine, but my aunt. - Mina said, slicing his arm to another bandit -.
Andracis Before he could continue the conversation, two swordsmen rushed him. The dispatched immediately, as Mina dispatched his last opponent.
After them, now there was Strider.
The bloodiest murderer west of the barrier was not exactly in a good mood. He had lost his men by some kids, but was unwilling to surrender. If necessary, finish them with their own hands, as he had done many times with those who moved from ready.
- I'll take care of it. - Mina said Andracis away to their way - You stay on the sidelines.
obediently withdrew Andracis allowing Mina face his opponent. Strider cracked his knuckles and started in attack. So did mine.
In a battle cry by Strider, opponents came running to each other. But just when that Strider was thrown on it, mine hit a big jump, which confused his opponent long enough to touch the head with a finger.
- Sleep! - He said -.
Al
instant, the giant fell asleep at the foot of Mina. Strider
While snoring, Mina smiled, proud of herself and then looked at Minus, who had stayed away from the fight, staring in disbelief that a girl barely 15 years old had managed to take down in just seconds his older brother, with much more experience in melee combat and of course it harder. Watching
Mina looked at him, Minus body trembled like a leaf shaken by the wind. When he saw as I started to conjure a fireball, he ran as fast as his crutches would permit.
- Ja! Remember Me seen? - Mina said addressing Andracis - What a coward! No wonder ...!
- WARNING! - Exclaimed suddenly Andracis -. Mina
turned in time to see how Strider, which she believed, still asleep, pounced on it, without being able to react with a hatchet in hand, ready to split it in two.
And then, with lightning speed, someone took it, protecting it with his body and the Giant Strider stopped.
was Andracis, who had dealt a mortal blow of the sword most bloodthirsty murderer west of the barrier. Mina saw Andracis sword stained with blood, neatly crossed your body.
- Why ...? - Strider asked himself breathless -.
Then the giant began to fall back, and no strength to stand. Mina could hear the noise emitted from the sword blade as it slid by the body that had just crossed. Finally, with a thud, Strider fell lifeless on the floor of the tavern, a pool of his own blood. Mina looked
that could not deliver a single word, not the faintest gasp of surprise. I had not seen, he thought. It has been about to kill me ... would not have the slightest chance ... If you do not become by Andracis ...
looked at the young swordsman, who cleaned the blood that remained on the blade of the sword with its own layer.
Luna And then left the kitchen.
- BUT THIS IS WHAT IT IS! - Said to watch the spectacle of bodies badly injured and had blood all over the pub - MINE! WOULD YOU LET ONLY A FEW SECONDS AND THIS IS WHAT I AM?! HOW MANY TIMES I HAVE SAID THAT A SWORD FIGHT OUTSIDE THE TAVERN?! NOW YOU GONNA PICK IT ALL! Mina took resigned
apron and mop proffered his aunt Luna as he spoke these words. Although he had already odds on several occasions, had never seen such a bad mood like now.
- AND I WANT TO CLEAN UP THE LAST DROP OF BLOOD SOIL! "Got it?! - Luna followed him screaming as she rubbed the large spot was underneath the body of Strider, praying that leave -.
- Excuse me Miss, but mine does not have all the blame. - Andracis suddenly came in defense of the young sorceress - Part of the responsibility is mine. In fact - he said pointing to the body of Strider - was I who killed this man. Luna
the boy looked surprised and hesitated for a moment each throw kicked out of the tavern by busybody or scold him too.
- Who is this? - Asked the landlady to his niece - A friend of yours?
- Yes ... Well, no ... Actually I just know. - Said Mina - Aunt Moon, I present to you ... Erm ... Sorry: What did you say your name? - Asked Andracis hand on the neck and sticking out his tongue as if to apologize -.
Mina had inherited much of the magical abilities and potential of their parents, but unfortunately also for some of its biggest flaws. In this case it is clear that inherited the bad memory of his father.
- Andracis, Andracis Greywords - said the boy wizard - Justiciero wandering to serve. - Said with a bow -.
- Well, well, at least it is polite ... - Luna noted with a smile and looking up and down Andracis - You say that you killed this man? - Asked pointing to Strider -.
- Yes, Ms. Luna. "Said he -.
- in this case - she said holding out her apron and other rags - you also have to leave this as a whistle and concrete pier of blood that is under that type. Come to work!
- I will love it. - He said picking up the apron and wipes - It's only fair, after all ...
During the time they were cleaning the tavern, Mina Andracis looked fascinated. Not only was an excellent swordsman, but also, as demonstrated at the time, was good at housework.
was already late afternoon when they finished cleaning the whole place. It was dark and serene beginning to illuminate the oil lamps of the streets. Mina left the tavern, followed by Andracis, stretching like a kitten.
- Uaaah! Menudo tired! - Yawned and he added to Andracis - Hey do you mind ask you a question?
- Adelante. - Gave him -.
- How clean is that you know so well? Not that this is a traditionalist, in fact my father sometimes kitchen, but even he believes that this is women's work. How can you not?
- Oh, well, I also think sometimes, but I'm used to. - Responded with a smile - at home almost always me who does housework.
- What about your mother? Did she do nothing?
Andracis lowered his head, putting a serious expression.
- That's what I wanted to talk. - Said - you tell Strider you were Invers daughter Reena. Is that true?
- Indeed. - Proudly she replied - "But why you want to talk to my mother?
- I have a message from an old friend. - Then answered him and begged him to Mina: - Would you mind terribly if I'll walk you to your house to see it? Come on, if you want ...
- Sure! Why not? - She agreed with one arm and taking him closer to each other - is more, I invite you to dinner. After all, I owe you one.
* * *
- WHAT ARE THESE HOURS TO GET HOME, GIRL?! I HOPE YOU HAVE A GOOD EXCUSE, BECAUSE AS OTHERWISE YOU WILL END OF HAVING TO PICK YOUR REMAINS WITH clothespins!
That was the reception he got mine just after arriving home from her mother. But the scolding of that I was more than usual.
- Hello, darling! How was your day? - His father greeted him cordially, leaving behind his mother -.
- Jolin, Gaudy! - Said it annoying - I always end up smashing my reprimands. You have deserved it! Hours ago I should have gone and she is around until long after dark!
- But if you've taken sure he is for good reason - her husband insisted - Right, Mina?
One of the reasons why her mother's tantrums were always more bearable than his aunt was because his father was almost always there to defend it, except when he had to protect someone and his job required him to spend several days away from home.
before continuing I should add that after getting married and settle permanently in Zefilia, Gaudy had taken up the profession of mercenaries, while Reena had established a store of decorative objects, most of which were actually items that had been collected to Throughout his travels, and then almost sold for a fortune.
- is true. - Mina said answering the question of his father - will see it is ...
- Ms. Investor - got ahead Andracis - I talk to you about a serious matter.
- Hey, hey, a moment - Reena stopped him - that must first occur. After all does not know us ...
Reena fell instantly to observe Andracis sword at his belt. Its hilt was golden lining it had a strange way, as two half spheres tapered curves.
Swords and were difficult to forget, especially because the last time you had Reena seen that sword, wielded an old friend, long gone.
- Zel? Is that you? - Reena asked hopefully -.
- No, miss - denied the boy - I'm Zelgadis Greywords, but his son, Andracis. I came to give a message from my father.
Reena looked at him blankly at first, but after all this new information to assimilate the new boy had just given him, it came with an arm toward him and pushed him inside the house, saying:
- Great! The children of my friends are also welcome. But I want you to tell me everything that has happened to the old Zel during this time did OK?
- Well, I'll try. - Said with a nervous smile Andracis -.
- What is happening to Mom? - Mina asked his father -.
- Well I think for the moment - said Gaudy - is going to forget that today you're late, lucky for you ... and me ...
* * *
Andracis
watched, embarrassed sweating, three family members Gabriev-Invers eagerly devouring their food, and few manners, while he slowly ate his share. Not surprised, however, because his father had warned him about the eating habits of his friend ... and that they were contagious.
- So ... glub ... - Reena said with his mouth full - your father now works as a laborer to pay ... yum ...
- Yes. - Said Andracis - There were not many people who would give him a job, so ... well now you know ... - he said pointing to his face to give to understand what he was talking about - So I finally agreed to work as a laborer, farming or chopping wood for the governor of our villa, Elméki.
- How about you go ... slurp ... - Gaudy also asked his mouth full - the princess ... NOM ... Amelia?
- Princess Amelia? - Asked Andracis missed -.
- Of course ... yum ... your mother, Amelia Will ... uh ... How was your full name, Reena? - Gaudy asked his wife -.
- Amelia Will Tesla Seyruun, knucklehead. - Said it bluntly - Of course, Gaudy, I sometimes wonder how you get to remember what day you live ...
Well now that you mention, thought to himself Gaudy is right, I do not remember what day it is ...
- I'm afraid there has been an error. - Said then Andracis - True My mother's name is Amelia, but his name is Alset, Will not You-it-is ...
Faced with this revelation, Gaudy seemed disappointed.
- Well, I was sure that Zel was married to Princess Amelia said ... -.
- Probably the two have taken different paths. - Reena concluded, shrugging his shoulders - what can we do, is Zelgadis decision and not ours, whether we like it or not ... Oh, by the way: What is the message that your father told you to give me?
- More than a message - said the boy - this is a request. Miss Invers see, my father was hoping you could help me to find the original of the Clair Bible.
- Ya. - Reena said while thinking: The usual ... This man has no imagination. - To find a cure for it right?
- No. It's for my mother.
Three-Invers Gabriev suddenly fell silent and stopped eating to watch Andracis faced stupor.
- Your mother is a chimera? - Gaudy released -.
While the former swordsman wearing a pair of wafers from his wife for the comment, Mina spoke for the first time since they began dinner.
- What happens to your mother? - Asked Andracis -.
- Nobody knows. - he said sadly - is something very strange. Began to experience symptoms to watch it ... ... yes, the last fifteen years or so. At first it was nothing major, headaches from time to time, normal ... But then the symptoms were more, until in the last year started to show what looked like the typical symptoms of pneumonia.
- And Let me guess: It was not pneumonia, right? - Reena stepped behind him a good bump to Gaudy -.
- Exactly. - Said Andracis - not pneumonia, or evil eye, nor any known disease. He's dying inside and the worst is that we do not know what ... So after years of making the visit all kinds of wizards, doctors and healers, but none could do anything for her, my father sent me to Zefilia to find an old friend of yours, ie you, Miss . Invers, to guide me to the Clair Bible hoping to find among its pages, the cure for his strange disease. Understands right? Reena
thought for a moment, serious, while her husband and daughter and young son Zelgadis, looked at her expectantly.
- As regards the location of the Clair Bible, I can tell you that is hidden in the mountains Kaat. - He finally said - But I'm afraid I can not get you there. You see, kid, not that I do not want to help your mother, but I here I have a business and also keep my days of adventure ended long ago ...
- I understand. - Said Andracis - Anyway, I now know where to look, so thanks. - Thanked by bowing respectfully and turned to go -.
- Wait! - Reena stopped him - why do not you go now.
- Of course not. - Added Gaudy - You can sleep over here tonight, if you want ...
- With pleasure. - Accepted the boy - You are very kind, thanks again.
- Bah! You do not have to give them. - Reena downplayed - After all the children of my friends are also my friends. And now to eat!
- But ... - objected Andracis with a drop of sweat running down his forehead as he remembered the immense amount of food that Reena, Gaudy and Mina had previously eaten - Have we not already eaten?
- Oh, no way, that it was only the appetizers! - Said the witch with a big smile - Now comes the main course. Right, Gaudy?
- Yes - said her husband - now being done in the oven. Do not take ...
- oléis not burning? - Mina said -. suddenly
All put their noses in the air and began to sniff. In fact, there was a strong smell of burning in the air ... and the smell coming from the kitchen.
- Gaudy! - Reena cried alarmed - the oven!
- Oh, no! - Gaudy said her hands to her head and shot out into the kitchen -.
Seconds later, Gaudy came back to the room, coughing and covered with dust and soot, holding a tray of what looked like a charred turkey.
- Reena Erm ... I think we've run out of main course ... - he apologized -.
- Gaudy, MEDUSA'S BRAIN! - Reena shouted increasing 100 times the size of his head, while Gaudy, now a chibi, waving his arms scared - I TOLD YOU TO WATCH THE OVEN! ACORN ANIMAL! POT IDIOT! PERFECTLY KNOW THAT TO BE FOOD AND NON despite having BEWARE, BECAUSE IF YOU CAN NOT GO WRONG! GIT! Taruga! ...
Reena continued insults with the battery while the milks gave Gaudy, while it, covering himself with sore arms, begging for mercy. And this pitiful sight watching him and Andracis Mina, with a drop of sweat rolling down their fronts.
* * * - Good evening, Ms. Investor, Mr. Gabriev ...
- Good night, boy. Are you coming Gaudy?
- Now I will come, Reena, as you collect the dinner.
- Okay, but do not delay.
night had already fallen on Zefilia. While Reena Andracis and went to bed, Gaudy picked up the dishes from the table and took them to the kitchen.
- mine do not you sleep?
Mine was the only one, apart from Gaudy, who was still standing. While lying there would have been impossible to sleep. I had a doubt in my mind that would not let her quiet, which was released and outside.
His father was the only person he had trusted his life fully. It was therefore the only person who could understand what was happening to her.
- No, I have no dream. - Lied - If you want help with the dishes.
- For me agree. - Gaudy accepted with a smile -.
When I had about a dozen dishes washed, Mina was launched.
- Dad ... I can talk to you about something?
- You know I'm always willing to listen. - Gaudy said - Do you think of anything?
- No! ... Well, yeah ... see ... - began the girl - is it ... Dad I would go there, you know, adventure ...
Gaudy stopped washing dishes and looked at her daughter with a mixture of pity and seriousness. It was the first time that Mina pulled the item.
- You know what you think your mother. - Said - And I know how I feel ...
- Yes, I know, I know, but this time is different! - It was justified -.
- What's different between this and the other times?
- Well ... you see, is ...
Andracis Hearing appoint the young son of Zelgadis, a Gaudy is brightened.
- You like, eh? - Said in a mischievous tone giving -. nudge
- Of course not, Dad! - Flatly denied blushing - How can you say that?! - When he was calmer, he said: - It is not so, Dad, is that ... I have one ... How do you call it? Debt of Honor, I think ...
- A debt of honor? - Asked Gaudy confusing -.
- Yes ... In the tavern of Aunt Luna ... A guy named Strider ... I wanted to kill a family feud, I fried his brother with a ball of fire, but hey, that's not important. The fact is that ... hit me back and ... Andracis protected me, he speared him before he could hurt me. Gaudy
was silent, thinking.
- Do not you understand, Dad? I owe him my life! - Continued her - and you always told me that when someone saves your life, you have a debt of honor with him and accompany you to return the favor .... So I want to go with Andracis, is the only way I can repay what he has done for me.
- I understand ... - he finally said Gaudy - Does your mother know?
Mina shook her head. Gaudy followed by washing the few dishes that were missing without saying a word. When the last dish was placed on top of the heap, the warrior was removed apron and told his daughter, forcing a half smile and sighed resignedly:
- talk to her. But do not kid yourself, it is very stubborn and is able to ...
Mina suddenly embraced him, preventing finish his sentence.
- Thanks, Dad. - -. "She said
- Ay, by God Ceipheid ... - sighed Gaudy - Why not have that trust with your mother? I know that ass is too low and that you say you loose a ball of fire, but when displayed as temperamental is because he cares, but in fact it looks and she says no, that is backwards and then you get hit, but not how ... well actually wanting, but no bad intentions, because ... Euh ... I think even I clarify what I'm saying ...
* * * Gaudy
gently opened the door to the master bedroom she shared with Reena, and crept he closed behind him. She tiptoed to the bed, undressed, put on pajamas and crawled under the sheets, gently stroking the skin of the woman leaning out of the satin nightgown wrapped around her body. Reena felt the caress of her husband, she turned to him and kissed her lips, then smiled tenderly. Then she leaned her head on his chest, while he with his arm around her and brought her closer to himself.
- Reena ...
- Hum? ... Tell me - she asked sleepily -.
- We need to talk ...
Reena turned away from the breast would be gaudy and said, resting his head on his arm:
- I told you, Gaudy, I will not hire someone to do the housecleaning. Pretty hard for us and buy food and clothes, we have no extra spending ...
- No, that item no. - Gaudy said - the other.
- Has he insist?! - Reena said with a face of disgust - To that girl I'll have to give a couple of beatings morning, so that Learn!
- This time is different ... - Gaudy insisted -.
- I do not care! You know what I think of it, Gaudy, not going to make me change my mind, whatever it says the girl. - Reena settled suddenly turning to the opposite side and angry with the sheets wrapping -. Gaudy
paused. I knew I should say, but did not want to worry his wife. If he did he could refuse further.
- saved his life Andracis Mina. - Let go -. Reena
acute hearing, but did not move.
- You owe him a debt of honor you know? - Continued Gaudy - That's why she says she must go with him, because that will return the favor.
- Excuses! - Reena said dismissively - That any opportunity that presents itself to scoot around ...
- Come on, Reena. - She insisted her husband - you know that Andracis can not go alone into the mountains Kaat. It is a long and dangerous journey and need all the help possible. Plus ... - said hugging - Mina has grown, Reena. And although I loath to admit it, I would know to take care of itself. - Reena was to replicate, when interrupted Gaudy - I know what you're going to say that has not yet mastered all spells and also knows all the secrets of swordsmanship. And it's true, I admit it's not as good as you or me ... But still, I think we should give it a chance to try it herself. Never move forward if you do not experience alone that we experience in their day. Reena
turned back to Gaudy, about to lie to mourn. I looked into his eyes, those beautiful blue eyes that once fascinated and now looked half-serious half pleading. Long sighed and finally answered:
- Okay. Tomorrow I'll talk to her and if I think their arguments are convincing, let go.
Gaudy, smiled and kissed her passionately, while he hugged her and caressed her, allowing her to put him astride.
- Damn, Gaudy! - Regretted it - Since I'm with you I've become a soft ...
- Well, I like you anymore.
So saying he kissed her again again while immersing himself, as he had done so many nights, in the softness of her skin and the perfume of her hair, red like fire and burning passion.
As passionate and hot as fire now burning inside them.
* * * Needless to say that the morning after a long talk from mother to child, Reena consented to accompany a Andracis Mina on his journey, with the sole condition that he found in the Bible Clair, return home immediately.
already somewhat advanced in the morning, Mina went over final details with his mother.
- Follow this path. - Reena told them, noting the above route on the map they had given - is the shortest way to reach the mountains Kaat. It take about two weeks to 20 days to get there. Ask for Milgazia and say that going for me, he will help ... Mina, I left you enough money so that you can buy the food needed by the way, try not to waste it.
- Relax, Mom, try rationed. - Mina reassured -.
Reena looked for a few minutes for your daughter, silently, almost on the verge of tears. She knew that sooner or later end up getting the day her daughter would be leaving to follow her steps. For that reason he wanted to delay as much as possible starting with trivial excuses, but never admit it because he wanted too Mina to want him to leave his side.
- Well - said after drying the tears that were beginning to peep through their eyes - I wish you luck. And you, Mina, remember this: whatever happens, never give up okay? A Invers never gives up.
- Trust me, Mom. - Mina said with great self-confidence - I assure you when you return you can be proud of me.
Mother and daughter looked at a few seconds in silence, until, moved by a feeling of love for each other, hugged one another. Reena then could not hold back any longer and two rows of tears rolled down her cheeks.
- Mom? Are you crying? - Asked Mina missed -.
- Huh? Of course not! - Reena apologized while she dried her tears quickly - Is that me itchy eyes, that's all ...
Mina smiled and after separating from her mother hugged her father. After Andracis was where I was waiting for her, it was time to leave.
- Bye, Dad! Bye, Mom! - Mina is waving goodbye, as he began to walk - come back soon, I promise!
- Goodbye, Mr. Gabriev! Goodbye, Miss Invers! - Were dismissed in turn Andracis - Thanks for everything!
- Bye, guys! - Reena said goodbye - and beware!
After the farewells, the two young wizards walked away with firm and determined step the path that would lead them out of Zefilia. Reena saw how distressed they disappeared from view, while Gaudy took her by the shoulder, pulling her toward him.
- Do you think back? - She asked her husband, doubting -.
- Of course I return! - Gaudy said with total conviction - Have not you heard what he said Mina? Has promised to return. And I have learned that one should never lie when he makes a promise ...
Reena smiled and glanced back toward the road. Could no longer see any trace of the young. Only the wind was fresh and light in the morning that stirred the leaves of tree.
* * *
When they had come a long way, having left the city, Mina stopped. Suddenly he felt a strange sensation in the stomach and was not hungry (he had very strong breakfast that morning) Think that perhaps would be a long time before he returned to see his family, made him look back, nostalgia, to the panoramic view of the city that could be seen from that part of the road.
- Mina are you okay? - Asked worriedly Andracis, who had stopped to see that the girl was not -.
- Yes, yes I am well. - Mina said, suddenly turning his eyes to the boy - is just that ... Do you think you see them again someday?
- Do your parents? Why, yes. - He said with total conviction - Just like me going to see mine ... I know, the principle is separated from them. But you think that will be patiently awaiting your return ...
- Is that what you do? - She asked -.
- Yes - he said - And so I know I must continue, whatever happens, and that I should strive their best to get the Bible Clair and go home early. Why not we look back, Mina, you must always look ahead ...
Mina nodded and took the hand which the boy handed him, while casting a last look at Zefilia, then look ahead, as we had said Andracis toward the future that awaited them, that world was there, waiting for them caught.

CHAPTER 1: 16 years after
The scene is here in a little way outside Zefilia. One way in which everyday people from all walks go, often traveling merchants, mercenaries and bandits but also low mounted looking rich at the expense of the merchants, through the protection and theft respectively.
In the distance the road appears, suddenly, a bright red light, followed by the sound of an explosion. Seconds later, fleeing the desperate, there are about a dozen bandits. There is a second explosion, similar to the previous, and the bandits are hit by it. By the time the smoke has dissipated, leaving only a pile of charred bodies and whiners.
A young girl watched the scene with a smirk.
- Great! Ten hit! I beat my record again! - Exclaimed triumphantly -.
was a pretty petite girl (barely 65 1m up from the ground), but agile. Her hair, pale pink, was twisted and caught in a kind of bun, held by a black ribbon. He wore a brown velvet skirt and a very clear short-sleeve shirt light blue (like his eyes), that exposed her navel. In addition, over the shirt had a set of chest and shoulder pads and wearing an black tape holding a sword. Her name was Mina
Gabriev and he was 15.
- Miss Gabriev Erm ... do not want to sound a killjoy, but ... Do not you think that it went a little bit?
who had spoken, a man of thirty and so many brown hair cut in saucepan and humble garb, seemed terribly nervous, like the horse that pulled his cart. Judging by the loading of jars filled with the famous wine Zefilia fresh from the vines that had in the said car was easily deduced that the man was one of many carriers in and out regularly Zefilia.
Mina turned to the carrier, who was hired as a bodyguard for him and his custody goods and protects them from assault by bandits as those just found. He reflected a few minutes about watching his protégé and finally, putting his posing proudly with arms akimbo, legs apart and cheerful smile on his face, said
- Maybe I went a bit ... But I'm like, I can not be so powerful!
Mina laughed at his sentence while his protege and his horse looked at her with a mixture of concern and embarrassment. Perhaps, thought the carrier was not such a good idea to hire protect him from bandits. More would have been worth hiring someone to protect him from it ...
- either way - he continued - we must hurry, I have to leave the jars in the store before noon. And judging by the position of the sun, and should not be long for this hour!
- You're right. - Corroborated Mina - with so many bands we delayed. And the sooner you turn in your jars, before I get paid.
saying, Mina stood behind the car.
- What ... what will you do? - Asked the carrier with some trepidation in his voice -.
- Very simple: I'll just give it a push. - Mina replied simply -.
- A little help? - Asked the stranger - But woman, if this car is heavy. And difficult for me out of the mud, I do not think I can ...
- Strike Wind! - She cried, while I had done speaking -.
Unfortunately for her and her client-protected, Mina had been three people with the Wind Blow; thought to create a current car quickly drive through the streets of Zefilia and instead had got the carrier, its horse and carriage saliesen flying, literally. He sighed heavily and thought If you mom tells me: "Before launching a gust of wind first make sure you aim where you ...." decided then that I could not waste any more time and flew using levitation to where his protégé, they break their necks.
Meanwhile, still in the air, the carrier and hugged his equine companion looked scared while down, which will surely end up hopelessly despachurrados.
- Good! - Mina waved his hand flying to appear suddenly - I regret what happened, I think I spent with the power of wind blow ...
- Do something, they'll kill us! - Begged his protégé -.
- Listen to me I was hired to protect him from the bandits, not to save him from falling from the sky. - Mina said with carelessness - If you want to do odd jobs will have to pay me extra. Not my fault you do not know levitate ...
- how to break jars and ME BREAK YO HEAD TO FALL, I THINK NOT PAY OR a single penny!
Alarmed at the prospect of running out of cash, the young witch cast a Raywing quickly. The bubble wrapped them led them floating through the air towards the store of wine, landing softly on the pavement without damage.
- Wow, fast! - Said the store - is not yet noon and already have arrived. Good stuff!
After downloading the jars (which despite the bustle did not suffer even a scratch), the manager went to see the pattern the carrier who delivered the 150 gold coins for the odd job. It was then mine, touching the carrier's shoulder to get attention, decided to claim their share.
- If I remember correctly - he said - going to 10% right?
- Keep it! - Screamed the carrier suddenly turning pale - Keep it! I do not see it anymore or to you or your spells! And that's what to carry goods for me. Yes! A lettuce plant them now. Heh, heh! The lettuce is selling well lately ...
And without further delay spurred his horse and was quick as the soul that leads to hell. The shop owner looked at Mina and the carrier, which was out of sight in the distance, looking with amazement.
- What this does is it, Mina? - Asked the confused pattern -.
- Ni idea. I just did what I asked. - Said the girl - but hey, at least it was worth. - Added looking at his right (ahem) won money bag - now, to celebrate with a meal at Aunt Moon's Tavern!
* * *
The 4 Kings Tavern-Dragon, was a local dingy, dark and snuff smell given off by virtually 24 hours a day. But leisure was the place preferred by the inhabitants of Zefilia, perhaps because it was the ideal place to fight if looking or because it was the perfect place to hide for a while without being persecuted by the authorities (in case you were a murderer, a bandit or an outlaw) or perhaps for good physical treatment and its owner, Investor Luna, who also prepared the best food this side of the barrier. Was that primarily the reason why Mina liked the location.
also made friends with his aunt, to an extent that could not understand why her mother could not see or painting. For Mina, Luna was a woman smiling, attentive and a good friend of jokes, firm and serious when necessary and above all, a person of trust that could tell you everything.
The atmosphere of the tavern when Mina came was not very different from other occasions. Customers who were not engaged in a fight, he played all his possessions playing cards or drinking alcohol and smoking as Cossacks.
Maybe that's why he was surprised to see a man, who hid his face under the hood of his coat, light colored like the rest of his dress, sipping a cup of black coffee, silent and skulking sitting at a table located in a corner of the tavern.
- Mina - Luna waved her aunt from the bar, making him forget of that mysterious man - What's it going, girl? A lot of work lately?
- Yes. And very well paid indeed. - Mina said, proudly showing the bag of money just to win - That's why I'm here. I have come to celebrate with a binge of your delicious food!
- Then you'll have to wait. - Luna said while filling beer a couple of jars and put them on a tray - Today I am very busy with that I have no time to get to cook for you now ...
- What's wrong? Will that beer or not? - Shouted a guttural voice client from the other side of the tavern -.
- Yes I'm coming! - Luna shouted turn while carrying the tray and another tray of beers over - a little patience, man!
- Let me handle me. - Mina offered trays taking the hands of her aunt - and you in return I will prepare the beef stew so good that you do right?
Luna looked at her niece forcing a half smile. That girl had inherited her mother's voracious appetite and could do anything to get food, especially whether it was that she cooked.
- Okay. - Finally agreed - but as a customer complains, goodbye to stew Understood?
- A order, Big Boss! - Mina said forcing a smile and carrying trays to tables for -.
During the next 15 minutes Mina was serving drinks to customers, noting the food orders and cleaning tables when guests were leaving. It was hard work, but mine was used, not the first time I worked as a waitress at the tavern with his aunt. It was almost always the first to volunteer, either in exchange for a generous salary, as well as payment to a good meal. That was another reason why the Moon along with his niece, because often, threw a cable (Reena simply wanted no part of it and as for Gaudy ... say that the last time that asked for help many more damage caused by accident than those produced during fights between clients)
On one occasion, Mina had to pour a fresh cup of coffee a mysterious man. He tried to seize this moment to see her face, but the man looked down further hiding, which gave him to understand he did not want to be recognized. So let him be mine. Mina
When he had finished his work and the customers were satisfied, Luna returned to the kitchen with a huge bowl of beef stew and a few other things he had prepared for her niece.
- Ten, girl and take advantage. - Luna said leaving dishes in a free table and then returning to the kitchen -.
- Thanks! - Mina said settling on the table and beginning to taste the stew and other things that her aunt had prepared -.
Mina had not only inherited her mother's appetite, but the table manners and clients, particularly those who came first to the bar (the regulars were already more than used to such a shameful spectacle) looked sideways and with a huge Goton of sweat emanating from his forehead as Mina ate hurriedly, without pause and almost without chewing. Iba
Mina to eat a sausage stuffed with cheese, when a huge hand was planted in the shoulder, startling her. Slowly turned and found a tall man, much higher even than his father, a man who many would define the physiognomy type hangers. His well developed muscles showing through a shirt torn and his face square dominated by a scar across his left cheek. His head was shaved and his face adorned a thick ribbon of dark green.
The big man smiled a half smile and he said to someone who was behind it:
- Is this the girl who attacked you, Minus?
The aforementioned stuck behind the big man. Despite wearing bandages for everywhere and barely holding a pair of crutches, Mina recognized him as one of the bandits left with fried ball of fire, particularly that called itself the leader of the group.
- Yes, yes she is! That's the crazy woman who attacked me! - Said pointing a shaking finger -.
the
The big man looked back, scrutinizing in depth, from top to bottom. Then he began to laugh, first for himself, but then more and more vigorously until burst into laughter that was heard throughout the pub and caught some of his followers.
- JA, JA, JA, JA, JA! "And this is what you say you hit a beating? JA, JA, JA, JA! Minus, of truth, you are pathetic! You let a girl win three on the fourth! JA, JA, JA, JA!
At this, he pointed to mine a vein in his forehead. Like his mother, was irritated that people call him kid, brat, breeding and the like who questioned her womanhood. He got up angrily and faced the big man with a pose of superiority, saying defiantly:
- Hey, big boy, be careful what you say because you could eat your words!
- Who tells me? - Said the big man leaning Mina (who barely reached him just past the waist) - You, little girl?
- As if you did not know - Mina said in a tone of superiority while would back her braid - I'm the incredible, incomparable Gabriev Mina, daughter of Reena Invers powerful sorceress and the legendary swordsman of the Sword of Light, Gaudy Gabriev .
- For I am - said the big man bringing his face close to mine - Strider Fermentor, that idiot brother there - he added, pointing to Minus dismissively - and the most bloodthirsty murderer west of the Great Barrier. And believe me when I say girl riffraff like you've charged me with them handfuls and bare hands ... - threatened to put his fist against Mina -. He
powerful fist, however, seemed to impress Mina, who was content to reply:
- If you think that's why I going to be scary, you're wrong. Moreover, if you keep touching his nose with it that I'm just a girl, I'll just end up beating when you're going to be worse than your brother ...
Strider did not take that warning seriously and laughed even more, becoming to infect their followers. With a face that seemed to say: "You asked for it," Mina got into position and quickly drew his sword, like a shot from next to Strider.
There was total silence. Strider even stopped laughing, amazed at the speed of the girl. Mina turned to see the result of its lightning attack. Within seconds, a trickle of blood appeared on the left cheek of Strider, just above the previous scar, cross through it. Strider
felt his cheek and looked at his bloodstained hands. The surprise came the anger and his hand closed, while she turned to Mina.
- Nobody, I repeat NO ONE - calmly and quietly said, but angry tone - dare slit Frementor Strider's face and lives.
Having said that snapped his fingers and some of the men who accompanied him came to Mina, brandishing their weapons.
Then, with a cry of war, Mina showed its potential in the swordplay.
The flexible and rapid movements that allowed him to dodge one after the other weapons and opponents with fury and precision attack against them was something I had learned very well from his father. And though he never reached his level, if it was an outstanding student, as was demonstrated at this time.
However, despite their efforts, whenever felt more exhausted. When just one, came three others to replace him. At no time was set at that Strider was so well together. Most seemed to their opponents ground sprouted like mushrooms in autumn. So, little by little, he saw more and more depressed by the henchmen of the villain, until it was completely surrounded by them, without any possibility of movement.
- JA, JA, JA, JA! What? You no longer look so brave are you, girl? - -. Laughed Strider
- 25 to one ... Tsk, tsk, tsk ... - suddenly said a voice behind him - That's not a fair number, I'm afraid ...
Surprised all turned to the owner of the voice. The only person who had not left the tavern and stood still at his desk and rushing what was left of his coffee.
The mysterious man who had so Mina attention.
- This is not your business! - Said Strider - So no goals noses where they do not call you!
- Oh, quite the contrary. - Said the mystery man - Anyone who is in danger is my business.
At that moment the mysterious man rose from the table and removed his hood, revealing his face at last. It was a boy of about the same age Mina, though somewhat higher than this. His hair was jet black and short, with a kind of bangs that hid half his face, exposing one of her eyes, a beautiful steel gray color.
- But who the hell are you? - Asked Strider -.
- My name is Andracis Greywords. - Said the boy drew his sword and in the name of justice will make you pay for your sins.
- Well what's this? - Strider said exasperated and putting a face that seemed to say: "Please no more" - A convention of sadomasochistic swordsmen kids? It will be possible ... Let's see, you, you and you - then said, pointing to three of his best men - encargaos him. The three alluded
approached this Andracis and it responded with a quick and fleeting Claymore sword that left them totally KO.
Mina opened her eyes wide to see that. It was very fast, maybe as fast or faster than her and working as anyone else. Whoever taught the swordplay, had done a great job.
Before Strider could order they finished with him, Andracis sent to three or four others, clearing the way that it would take to mine and allowing it to be incorporated into the fray. The bodies of the followers fell slowly on the floor of the tavern, badly wounded by the two blades of the swords that drove the young. At one point, both were back to back, took time to tell Mina Andracis, loud to hear him amid the din:
- You're so good!
- Thanks! - Thanked him while lashed to one that was coming with a hatchet - You either do it wrong!
- Pse, well ... - she said with false modesty. After a wounded who ran a club and continued: - Hey, no thank you have not, but ... Why I have saved?
- It was my duty. - Andracis answered simply - and also the coffee you served me was very good.
- Thanks, but merit is not mine, but my aunt. - Mina said, slicing his arm to another bandit -.
Andracis Before he could continue the conversation, two swordsmen rushed him. The dispatched immediately, as Mina dispatched his last opponent.
After them, now there was Strider.
The bloodiest murderer west of the barrier was not exactly in a good mood. He had lost his men by some kids, but was unwilling to surrender. If necessary, finish them with their own hands, as he had done many times with those who moved from ready.
- I'll take care of it. - Mina said Andracis away to their way - You stay on the sidelines.
obediently withdrew Andracis allowing Mina face his opponent. Strider cracked his knuckles and started in attack. So did mine.
In a battle cry by Strider, opponents came running to each other. But just when that Strider was thrown on it, mine hit a big jump, which confused his opponent long enough to touch the head with a finger.
- Sleep! - He said -.
Al
instant, the giant fell asleep at the foot of Mina. Strider
While snoring, Mina smiled, proud of herself and then looked at Minus, who had stayed away from the fight, staring in disbelief that a girl barely 15 years old had managed to take down in just seconds his older brother, with much more experience in melee combat and of course it harder. Watching
Mina looked at him, Minus body trembled like a leaf shaken by the wind. When he saw as I started to conjure a fireball, he ran as fast as his crutches would permit.
- Ja! Remember Me seen? - Mina said addressing Andracis - What a coward! No wonder ...!
- WARNING! - Exclaimed suddenly Andracis -. Mina
turned in time to see how Strider, which she believed, still asleep, pounced on it, without being able to react with a hatchet in hand, ready to split it in two.
And then, with lightning speed, someone took it, protecting it with his body and the Giant Strider stopped.
was Andracis, who had dealt a mortal blow of the sword most bloodthirsty murderer west of the barrier. Mina saw Andracis sword stained with blood, neatly crossed your body.
- Why ...? - Strider asked himself breathless -.
Then the giant began to fall back, and no strength to stand. Mina could hear the noise emitted from the sword blade as it slid by the body that had just crossed. Finally, with a thud, Strider fell lifeless on the floor of the tavern, a pool of his own blood. Mina looked
that could not deliver a single word, not the faintest gasp of surprise. I had not seen, he thought. It has been about to kill me ... would not have the slightest chance ... If you do not become by Andracis ...
looked at the young swordsman, who cleaned the blood that remained on the blade of the sword with its own layer.
Luna And then left the kitchen.
- BUT THIS IS WHAT IT IS! - Said to watch the spectacle of bodies badly injured and had blood all over the pub - MINE! WOULD YOU LET ONLY A FEW SECONDS AND THIS IS WHAT I AM?! HOW MANY TIMES I HAVE SAID THAT A SWORD FIGHT OUTSIDE THE TAVERN?! NOW YOU GONNA PICK IT ALL! Mina took resigned
apron and mop proffered his aunt Luna as he spoke these words. Although he had already odds on several occasions, had never seen such a bad mood like now.
- AND I WANT TO CLEAN UP THE LAST DROP OF BLOOD SOIL! "Got it?! - Luna followed him screaming as she rubbed the large spot was underneath the body of Strider, praying that leave -.
- Excuse me Miss, but mine does not have all the blame. - Andracis suddenly came in defense of the young sorceress - Part of the responsibility is mine. In fact - he said pointing to the body of Strider - was I who killed this man. Luna
the boy looked surprised and hesitated for a moment each throw kicked out of the tavern by busybody or scold him too.
- Who is this? - Asked the landlady to his niece - A friend of yours?
- Yes ... Well, no ... Actually I just know. - Said Mina - Aunt Moon, I present to you ... Erm ... Sorry: What did you say your name? - Asked Andracis hand on the neck and sticking out his tongue as if to apologize -.
Mina had inherited much of the magical abilities and potential of their parents, but unfortunately also for some of its biggest flaws. In this case it is clear that inherited the bad memory of his father.
- Andracis, Andracis Greywords - said the boy wizard - Justiciero wandering to serve. - Said with a bow -.
- Well, well, at least it is polite ... - Luna noted with a smile and looking up and down Andracis - You say that you killed this man? - Asked pointing to Strider -.
- Yes, Ms. Luna. "Said he -.
- in this case - she said holding out her apron and other rags - you also have to leave this as a whistle and concrete pier of blood that is under that type. Come to work!
- I will love it. - He said picking up the apron and wipes - It's only fair, after all ...
During the time they were cleaning the tavern, Mina Andracis looked fascinated. Not only was an excellent swordsman, but also, as demonstrated at the time, was good at housework.
was already late afternoon when they finished cleaning the whole place. It was dark and serene beginning to illuminate the oil lamps of the streets. Mina left the tavern, followed by Andracis, stretching like a kitten.
- Uaaah! Menudo tired! - Yawned and he added to Andracis - Hey do you mind ask you a question?
- Adelante. - Gave him -.
- How clean is that you know so well? Not that this is a traditionalist, in fact my father sometimes kitchen, but even he believes that this is women's work. How can you not?
- Oh, well, I also think sometimes, but I'm used to. - Responded with a smile - at home almost always me who does housework.
- What about your mother? Did she do nothing?
Andracis lowered his head, putting a serious expression.
- That's what I wanted to talk. - Said - you tell Strider you were Invers daughter Reena. Is that true?
- Indeed. - Proudly she replied - "But why you want to talk to my mother?
- I have a message from an old friend. - Then answered him and begged him to Mina: - Would you mind terribly if I'll walk you to your house to see it? Come on, if you want ...
- Sure! Why not? - She agreed with one arm and taking him closer to each other - is more, I invite you to dinner. After all, I owe you one.
* * *
- WHAT ARE THESE HOURS TO GET HOME, GIRL?! I HOPE YOU HAVE A GOOD EXCUSE, BECAUSE AS OTHERWISE YOU WILL END OF HAVING TO PICK YOUR REMAINS WITH clothespins!
That was the reception he got mine just after arriving home from her mother. But the scolding of that I was more than usual.
- Hello, darling! How was your day? - His father greeted him cordially, leaving behind his mother -.
- Jolin, Gaudy! - Said it annoying - I always end up smashing my reprimands. You have deserved it! Hours ago I should have gone and she is around until long after dark!
- But if you've taken sure he is for good reason - her husband insisted - Right, Mina?
One of the reasons why her mother's tantrums were always more bearable than his aunt was because his father was almost always there to defend it, except when he had to protect someone and his job required him to spend several days away from home.
before continuing I should add that after getting married and settle permanently in Zefilia, Gaudy had taken up the profession of mercenaries, while Reena had established a store of decorative objects, most of which were actually items that had been collected to Throughout his travels, and then almost sold for a fortune.
- is true. - Mina said answering the question of his father - will see it is ...
- Ms. Investor - got ahead Andracis - I talk to you about a serious matter.
- Hey, hey, a moment - Reena stopped him - that must first occur. After all does not know us ...
Reena fell instantly to observe Andracis sword at his belt. Its hilt was golden lining it had a strange way, as two half spheres tapered curves.
Swords and were difficult to forget, especially because the last time you had Reena seen that sword, wielded an old friend, long gone.
- Zel? Is that you? - Reena asked hopefully -.
- No, miss - denied the boy - I'm Zelgadis Greywords, but his son, Andracis. I came to give a message from my father.
Reena looked at him blankly at first, but after all this new information to assimilate the new boy had just given him, it came with an arm toward him and pushed him inside the house, saying:
- Great! The children of my friends are also welcome. But I want you to tell me everything that has happened to the old Zel during this time did OK?
- Well, I'll try. - Said with a nervous smile Andracis -.
- What is happening to Mom? - Mina asked his father -.
- Well I think for the moment - said Gaudy - is going to forget that today you're late, lucky for you ... and me ...
* * *
Andracis
watched, embarrassed sweating, three family members Gabriev-Invers eagerly devouring their food, and few manners, while he slowly ate his share. Not surprised, however, because his father had warned him about the eating habits of his friend ... and that they were contagious.
- So ... glub ... - Reena said with his mouth full - your father now works as a laborer to pay ... yum ...
- Yes. - Said Andracis - There were not many people who would give him a job, so ... well now you know ... - he said pointing to his face to give to understand what he was talking about - So I finally agreed to work as a laborer, farming or chopping wood for the governor of our villa, Elméki.
- How about you go ... slurp ... - Gaudy also asked his mouth full - the princess ... NOM ... Amelia?
- Princess Amelia? - Asked Andracis missed -.
- Of course ... yum ... your mother, Amelia Will ... uh ... How was your full name, Reena? - Gaudy asked his wife -.
- Amelia Will Tesla Seyruun, knucklehead. - Said it bluntly - Of course, Gaudy, I sometimes wonder how you get to remember what day you live ...
Well now that you mention, thought to himself Gaudy is right, I do not remember what day it is ...
- I'm afraid there has been an error. - Said then Andracis - True My mother's name is Amelia, but his name is Alset, Will not You-it-is ...
Faced with this revelation, Gaudy seemed disappointed.
- Well, I was sure that Zel was married to Princess Amelia said ... -.
- Probably the two have taken different paths. - Reena concluded, shrugging his shoulders - what can we do, is Zelgadis decision and not ours, whether we like it or not ... Oh, by the way: What is the message that your father told you to give me?
- More than a message - said the boy - this is a request. Miss Invers see, my father was hoping you could help me to find the original of the Clair Bible.
- Ya. - Reena said while thinking: The usual ... This man has no imagination. - To find a cure for it right?
- No. It's for my mother.
Three-Invers Gabriev suddenly fell silent and stopped eating to watch Andracis faced stupor.
- Your mother is a chimera? - Gaudy released -.
While the former swordsman wearing a pair of wafers from his wife for the comment, Mina spoke for the first time since they began dinner.
- What happens to your mother? - Asked Andracis -.
- Nobody knows. - he said sadly - is something very strange. Began to experience symptoms to watch it ... ... yes, the last fifteen years or so. At first it was nothing major, headaches from time to time, normal ... But then the symptoms were more, until in the last year started to show what looked like the typical symptoms of pneumonia.
- And Let me guess: It was not pneumonia, right? - Reena stepped behind him a good bump to Gaudy -.
- Exactly. - Said Andracis - not pneumonia, or evil eye, nor any known disease. He's dying inside and the worst is that we do not know what ... So after years of making the visit all kinds of wizards, doctors and healers, but none could do anything for her, my father sent me to Zefilia to find an old friend of yours, ie you, Miss . Invers, to guide me to the Clair Bible hoping to find among its pages, the cure for his strange disease. Understands right? Reena
thought for a moment, serious, while her husband and daughter and young son Zelgadis, looked at her expectantly.
- As regards the location of the Clair Bible, I can tell you that is hidden in the mountains Kaat. - He finally said - But I'm afraid I can not get you there. You see, kid, not that I do not want to help your mother, but I here I have a business and also keep my days of adventure ended long ago ...
- I understand. - Said Andracis - Anyway, I now know where to look, so thanks. - Thanked by bowing respectfully and turned to go -.
- Wait! - Reena stopped him - why do not you go now.
- Of course not. - Added Gaudy - You can sleep over here tonight, if you want ...
- With pleasure. - Accepted the boy - You are very kind, thanks again.
- Bah! You do not have to give them. - Reena downplayed - After all the children of my friends are also my friends. And now to eat!
- But ... - objected Andracis with a drop of sweat running down his forehead as he remembered the immense amount of food that Reena, Gaudy and Mina had previously eaten - Have we not already eaten?
- Oh, no way, that it was only the appetizers! - Said the witch with a big smile - Now comes the main course. Right, Gaudy?
- Yes - said her husband - now being done in the oven. Do not take ...
- oléis not burning? - Mina said -. suddenly
All put their noses in the air and began to sniff. In fact, there was a strong smell of burning in the air ... and the smell coming from the kitchen.
- Gaudy! - Reena cried alarmed - the oven!
- Oh, no! - Gaudy said her hands to her head and shot out into the kitchen -.
Seconds later, Gaudy came back to the room, coughing and covered with dust and soot, holding a tray of what looked like a charred turkey.
- Reena Erm ... I think we've run out of main course ... - he apologized -.
- Gaudy, MEDUSA'S BRAIN! - Reena shouted increasing 100 times the size of his head, while Gaudy, now a chibi, waving his arms scared - I TOLD YOU TO WATCH THE OVEN! ACORN ANIMAL! POT IDIOT! PERFECTLY KNOW THAT TO BE FOOD AND NON despite having BEWARE, BECAUSE IF YOU CAN NOT GO WRONG! GIT! Taruga! ...
Reena continued insults with the battery while the milks gave Gaudy, while it, covering himself with sore arms, begging for mercy. And this pitiful sight watching him and Andracis Mina, with a drop of sweat rolling down their fronts.
* * * - Good evening, Ms. Investor, Mr. Gabriev ...
- Good night, boy. Are you coming Gaudy?
- Now I will come, Reena, as you collect the dinner.
- Okay, but do not delay.
night had already fallen on Zefilia. While Reena Andracis and went to bed, Gaudy picked up the dishes from the table and took them to the kitchen.
- mine do not you sleep?
Mine was the only one, apart from Gaudy, who was still standing. While lying there would have been impossible to sleep. I had a doubt in my mind that would not let her quiet, which was released and outside.
His father was the only person he had trusted his life fully. It was therefore the only person who could understand what was happening to her.
- No, I have no dream. - Lied - If you want help with the dishes.
- For me agree. - Gaudy accepted with a smile -.
When I had about a dozen dishes washed, Mina was launched.
- Dad ... I can talk to you about something?
- You know I'm always willing to listen. - Gaudy said - Do you think of anything?
- No! ... Well, yeah ... see ... - began the girl - is it ... Dad I would go there, you know, adventure ...
Gaudy stopped washing dishes and looked at her daughter with a mixture of pity and seriousness. It was the first time that Mina pulled the item.
- You know what you think your mother. - Said - And I know how I feel ...
- Yes, I know, I know, but this time is different! - It was justified -.
- What's different between this and the other times?
- Well ... you see, is ...
Andracis Hearing appoint the young son of Zelgadis, a Gaudy is brightened.
- You like, eh? - Said in a mischievous tone giving -. nudge
- Of course not, Dad! - Flatly denied blushing - How can you say that?! - When he was calmer, he said: - It is not so, Dad, is that ... I have one ... How do you call it? Debt of Honor, I think ...
- A debt of honor? - Asked Gaudy confusing -.
- Yes ... In the tavern of Aunt Luna ... A guy named Strider ... I wanted to kill a family feud, I fried his brother with a ball of fire, but hey, that's not important. The fact is that ... hit me back and ... Andracis protected me, he speared him before he could hurt me. Gaudy
was silent, thinking.
- Do not you understand, Dad? I owe him my life! - Continued her - and you always told me that when someone saves your life, you have a debt of honor with him and accompany you to return the favor .... So I want to go with Andracis, is the only way I can repay what he has done for me.
- I understand ... - he finally said Gaudy - Does your mother know?
Mina shook her head. Gaudy followed by washing the few dishes that were missing without saying a word. When the last dish was placed on top of the heap, the warrior was removed apron and told his daughter, forcing a half smile and sighed resignedly:
- talk to her. But do not kid yourself, it is very stubborn and is able to ...
Mina suddenly embraced him, preventing finish his sentence.
- Thanks, Dad. - -. "She said
- Ay, by God Ceipheid ... - sighed Gaudy - Why not have that trust with your mother? I know that ass is too low and that you say you loose a ball of fire, but when displayed as temperamental is because he cares, but in fact it looks and she says no, that is backwards and then you get hit, but not how ... well actually wanting, but no bad intentions, because ... Euh ... I think even I clarify what I'm saying ...
* * * Gaudy
gently opened the door to the master bedroom she shared with Reena, and crept he closed behind him. She tiptoed to the bed, undressed, put on pajamas and crawled under the sheets, gently stroking the skin of the woman leaning out of the satin nightgown wrapped around her body. Reena felt the caress of her husband, she turned to him and kissed her lips, then smiled tenderly. Then she leaned her head on his chest, while he with his arm around her and brought her closer to himself.
- Reena ...
- Hum? ... Tell me - she asked sleepily -.
- We need to talk ...
Reena turned away from the breast would be gaudy and said, resting his head on his arm:
- I told you, Gaudy, I will not hire someone to do the housecleaning. Pretty hard for us and buy food and clothes, we have no extra spending ...
- No, that item no. - Gaudy said - the other.
- Has he insist?! - Reena said with a face of disgust - To that girl I'll have to give a couple of beatings morning, so that Learn!
- This time is different ... - Gaudy insisted -.
- I do not care! You know what I think of it, Gaudy, not going to make me change my mind, whatever it says the girl. - Reena settled suddenly turning to the opposite side and angry with the sheets wrapping -. Gaudy
paused. I knew I should say, but did not want to worry his wife. If he did he could refuse further.
- saved his life Andracis Mina. - Let go -. Reena
acute hearing, but did not move.
- You owe him a debt of honor you know? - Continued Gaudy - That's why she says she must go with him, because that will return the favor.
- Excuses! - Reena said dismissively - That any opportunity that presents itself to scoot around ...
- Come on, Reena. - She insisted her husband - you know that Andracis can not go alone into the mountains Kaat. It is a long and dangerous journey and need all the help possible. Plus ... - said hugging - Mina has grown, Reena. And although I loath to admit it, I would know to take care of itself. - Reena was to replicate, when interrupted Gaudy - I know what you're going to say that has not yet mastered all spells and also knows all the secrets of swordsmanship. And it's true, I admit it's not as good as you or me ... But still, I think we should give it a chance to try it herself. Never move forward if you do not experience alone that we experience in their day. Reena
turned back to Gaudy, about to lie to mourn. I looked into his eyes, those beautiful blue eyes that once fascinated and now looked half-serious half pleading. Long sighed and finally answered:
- Okay. Tomorrow I'll talk to her and if I think their arguments are convincing, let go.
Gaudy, smiled and kissed her passionately, while he hugged her and caressed her, allowing her to put him astride.
- Damn, Gaudy! - Regretted it - Since I'm with you I've become a soft ...
- Well, I like you anymore.
So saying he kissed her again again while immersing himself, as he had done so many nights, in the softness of her skin and the perfume of her hair, red like fire and burning passion.
As passionate and hot as fire now burning inside them.
* * * Needless to say that the morning after a long talk from mother to child, Reena consented to accompany a Andracis Mina on his journey, with the sole condition that he found in the Bible Clair, return home immediately.
already somewhat advanced in the morning, Mina went over final details with his mother.
- Follow this path. - Reena told them, noting the above route on the map they had given - is the shortest way to reach the mountains Kaat. It take about two weeks to 20 days to get there. Ask for Milgazia and say that going for me, he will help ... Mina, I left you enough money so that you can buy the food needed by the way, try not to waste it.
- Relax, Mom, try rationed. - Mina reassured -.
Reena looked for a few minutes for your daughter, silently, almost on the verge of tears. She knew that sooner or later end up getting the day her daughter would be leaving to follow her steps. For that reason he wanted to delay as much as possible starting with trivial excuses, but never admit it because he wanted too Mina to want him to leave his side.
- Well - said after drying the tears that were beginning to peep through their eyes - I wish you luck. And you, Mina, remember this: whatever happens, never give up okay? A Invers never gives up.
- Trust me, Mom. - Mina said with great self-confidence - I assure you when you return you can be proud of me.
Mother and daughter looked at a few seconds in silence, until, moved by a feeling of love for each other, hugged one another. Reena then could not hold back any longer and two rows of tears rolled down her cheeks.
- Mom? Are you crying? - Asked Mina missed -.
- Huh? Of course not! - Reena apologized while she dried her tears quickly - Is that me itchy eyes, that's all ...
Mina smiled and after separating from her mother hugged her father. After Andracis was where I was waiting for her, it was time to leave.
- Bye, Dad! Bye, Mom! - Mina is waving goodbye, as he began to walk - come back soon, I promise!
- Goodbye, Mr. Gabriev! Goodbye, Miss Invers! - Were dismissed in turn Andracis - Thanks for everything!
- Bye, guys! - Reena said goodbye - and beware!
After the farewells, the two young wizards walked away with firm and determined step the path that would lead them out of Zefilia. Reena saw how distressed they disappeared from view, while Gaudy took her by the shoulder, pulling her toward him.
- Do you think back? - She asked her husband, doubting -.
- Of course I return! - Gaudy said with total conviction - Have not you heard what he said Mina? Has promised to return. And I have learned that one should never lie when he makes a promise ...
Reena smiled and glanced back toward the road. Could no longer see any trace of the young. Only the wind was fresh and light in the morning that stirred the leaves of tree.
* * *
When they had come a long way, having left the city, Mina stopped. Suddenly he felt a strange sensation in the stomach and was not hungry (he had very strong breakfast that morning) Think that perhaps would be a long time before he returned to see his family, made him look back, nostalgia, to the panoramic view of the city that could be seen from that part of the road.
- Mina are you okay? - Asked worriedly Andracis, who had stopped to see that the girl was not -.
- Yes, yes I am well. - Mina said, suddenly turning his eyes to the boy - is just that ... Do you think you see them again someday?
- Do your parents? Why, yes. - He said with total conviction - Just like me going to see mine ... I know, the principle is separated from them. But you think that will be patiently awaiting your return ...
- Is that what you do? - She asked -.
- Yes - he said - And so I know I must continue, whatever happens, and that I should strive their best to get the Bible Clair and go home early. Why not we look back, Mina, you must always look ahead ...
Mina nodded and took the hand which the boy handed him, while casting a last look at Zefilia, then look ahead, as we had said Andracis toward the future that awaited them, that world was there, waiting for them caught.
Zeros: If you want to read the continuation of this story - and the prologue that the author so ashamed ...
Amber: Not that I'm ashamed! It is too fluff (timid fingers together)

Daughter Brazilian Wax
fandom_works @ 2007-06-05T10: 03:00
Reena developments: (getting angry at his office followed by Silphiel) TWO MONTHS! We have almost two months without posting anything! How we could reach such a situation?!
Silphiel: Please note that Amber is now in the middle of exam time, so it's not very inspired to say ... Reena
: Those are excuses! We have not even finished with the previous post!
Ussop: (far) would not let me explain quiet! ; _;
Reena: And, just in times of stress is pre-examination that he feels more inspired Amber!
Silphiel: But this time it is taking seriously ^ ^ U
Reena: Amber exams taken seriously?? Hahahaha, come on, do not make me laugh!
* In the real world, we see Amber get typing schemes all
* Amber: Shit exotic animals, and I hate you! TT_TT
* re *
Fandom Works Reena: In any case, this requires drastic measures! Call heads of section fanfics and fanarts for an emergency meeting, and to hurry!
Silphiel: S-yes! (Runs away and returns after fifteen minutes bringing with Mustang and Hawkeye and Meryl and Milly)
Reena: (looking surprised at these last two) a minute, what do you here? Where is Zelgadis?
Milly: He's gone to the bar across the street for coffee and left us in charge to us ^ ^
Reena: Again?! I think I'll have to talk to him seriously, his coffee addiction is going too far ¬ ¬ U
* In the bar across the street, we see Zelgadis leave the men's restroom *
Barman: Hey ... you are the opposite of Fandom Works right?
Zel: Yes Why?
Barman: (in a tone calm but with a vein highlighted) I can ask ... why every time you come to my bar is just to go to the bathroom?
Zel: We note you have not been the only bathroom of the offices ¬ ¬ U (makes gesture of leave)
Barman: FROM NOW AS A CHARGE FOR ENTER OS THINK! And another thing, let Pivot and toilet paper! Zel
(which we see with a slip of paper poking debun pocket) How be known? O_o
* re *
Fandom Works Reena: Well, back to topic ... Mustang, How will you start on your section?
Roy: Well, there has been many things since Amber-san is in full training but ... (Takes a list that tends Riza) last month did a fanart of Chihiro for May Versions Artbox forum ... which could only deliver on time the ink drawing. The color is still in process. Reena
: And may I ask why all the delay? ¬ ¬
Roy: We started very late due to several of my ... "Subordinate" went on strike ...
* Section fanarts, we see Ed, Luffy and sat online Sanz. Next to the first is a sign that says "On strike until the Colonel was always on top the ground." By the second, another that says "On strike until we get more meat" and next to the third one that says "On strike until I change the section" *
Reena: Well, what by your side, why?
Meryl: (read the list a moment and sighed, passes to Milly) Go, read it yourself, it gives me cringe ...
Milly: (enthusiastically) Sure, Sempai! Well, we in the process of progress: Chapter 4 of "Michelle", Chapters 4 through 8 of "Slayers Past", chapter 3 of "The Way We Were" ... Reena
: Yes, yes, all that was so two months ago ... The question is have we advanced anything?
Milly: Yes! Last week Amber wrote something in Chapter 8 of Slayers Past
Reena: Yes? * __ * And how have we come?
Milly: A seven-line paragraph!
(Reena is dropped)
Reena: (getting into a rage) UPDATE BUT WHAT IS THIS SHIT?! NOT, NOT ALL OF MY SIGHT!
(all flee in terror, leaving Reena alone. It sits at his desk, drumming his fingers on its surface. Suddenly call at the door)
Gaudy, from the other side of the door) Reena "I can spend? Reena
: Leave me alone, Gaudy, not in the mood today ¬ ¬ #
Gaudy (showing through a crack in the door between open) But I said Spirou tell you that there are some gentlemen below who want to they pay the rent ... Reena
: HE SAID THAT LEAVE ME ALONE!
(He throws a vase but Gaudy, accustomed to Reena aggressive attacks, dodges and the vase just slamming the door. Undeterred, approaches the table and left on her bills, which automatically Renna catches fire)
Gaudy: Since I know you think I'm not smart enough to Solucionarte problems, but if you'd tell me what you get you feel better do not you think? Reena
: (resigned sigh and then start) happens that in this office no one takes their job seriously ¬ ¬ #
Gaudy, True, two months ago that we do not update the journal ... hum ... (Makes a face of mental concentration) And if we do another "The rich Drabble? Reena
: If Amber does not feel inspired to continue their fics in progress, I doubt that it is to write a new drabbles ¬ ¬ U
Gaudy (reset to think) And if we publish something that we're done ? Reena
: All that ended, we published in ff.net or deviantart ... Contrary to our policy of not posting anything here that it were not already posted! Gaudy
: Yeah but ... there may be people who have not read fics Amber never right? And if we publish, say the first chapter of every fic, we could make a lot of publicity is not it?
(Reena starts out of his reverie and looks Gaudy surprise. Rose suddenly and requires him to face her)
Reena: Gaudy have you drunk? Gaudy
· _ ·? No. .. why? Reena
: Because you had a great idea, knucklehead!
Gaudy: Really? Reena
: Of course I'm serious! (Leaves the office with new energy and begins to announce to all present) Attention all! We're re-launching this site! Everyone look at the old files and remove all that is finished enough to be shown!
Meryl: The ... finished fanfic chapters in progress too? Reena
: Those above! If we receive many donations that could encourage Amber to finish which is outstanding!
Milly: At your service, super-big boss! Reena
: Come, come, hustler, update even with a more post before exam season begins! BOYS MIND WITH WIN ...!
