He opened his eyes and the first thing he noticed was… white. White ceilings, white walls, white counters. It was all the same shade of white, which gave the room an eerily sterile effect. The next thing that he noticed was that his head hurt. It was no wonder, he seemed to be lying on a very hard, flat surface that also happened to be white. He tried to sit up, but found that he was strapped down to the table. He was strapped at the forearms, at the waist and at the legs. Not only that, but his restraints also seemed to block his spiritual power. He couldn't feel anything. Whoever had captured him was certainly cautious.. "Ah, you're awa

In a tavern in a peaceful little town, a man sat at a table in the corner of the room. He had a hood and mask pulled up, concealing his face. A waiter stood near his table, taking his order. "Alright, and what is your name, Sir? We'll call it out when your order is ready." The man paused for a second before responding, apprehensive for some reason, "…Zelgadis Graywords." The waiter left to take care of his order, leaving Zelgadis to think to himself. So far he was in a small town in the middle of nowhere. He preferred places like these to large cities, but they usually didn't have very much magic information, so they were useless when in s

"Please, Mister Zelgadis?" "No." "Pleeeease?" "No." "Just this once!" "No." "I promise I'll be gentle!" "It's not me that I'm worried about…" "I'll tell you if you're being too rough!" "By then it might be too late." "We don't have to tell anyone!" "I don't care." "Somewhere secret where no one can see us?" "You're missing the point here..." "We can use protection?" "Amelia, do I look like I need protection?" ""We can do it reaaal quick?" "Look, why don't you just ask Lina or Gourry?" "But they're already doing it right now… with each other…" Zelgadis sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose in irritation, "Why are you so

Amelia pushed her finished plate away from herself and glanced at Zelgadis with an expression of innocent curiosity, "Say, Zelgadis-san, I was wondering…" Zelgadis froze as his fork was half way to his mouth. For some reason he had a very bad feeling about this. He put his fork down and glanced at her with an apathetic expression that he tried to wear at all times. "…" Amelia took that as her cue to continue, "How old are you?!" Zelgadis' apathetic expression was betrayed as his eyelid started to twitch slightly with annoyance. The subject normally wouldn't have bothered him that much, but he still had the feeling that this would turn out

It was late in the afternoon as a hay wagon slowly, but surely, rolled down a country road. Zelgadis and Amelia were sitting in the back of the wagon. Amelia was lying down on the mattress of hay while Zelgadis was still sitting up. "I'm still full from all that octopus we ate…" Amelia patted her belly contently. "I would hope so, after all the trouble we had to go through to get it." Zelgadis was busy trying to pick hay off his clothes while he spoke. "Zelgadis-san! We didn't go through all that for the sake of food! We did it because it was the right thing to do and for the sake of Justice!" Amelia sat up. She looked like she wanted to

"And that's where they serve Seyruun's famous soft serve ice cream!" Amelia had been jubilantly pointing out sights more and more since they started traveling on the road to Seyruun. When they were on the outskirts of Seyruun she would point out things like, "That's where Daddy took me fishing!" and now that they were in the city she would point out things such as temples, or the priestess' dormitories more frequently. Zelgadis still wasn't sure if he found it annoying or cute. He just nodded his head, like he did the other times she would point something out. Now that they were within the city, he had his hood and mask pulled up. For some r

In a private section of Seyruun's great library two people sat at a table, each with a book in front of them. One of them was Princess Amelia Wil Tesla Seyruun, the other was her fiancé, Zelgadis Graywords. Nothing disturbed the soothing quiet of the library, save for the occasional sound of a page turning. Amelia stared at the same page in the book that she had been staring at for the past ten minutes. This was one of her favorite books and it always managed to interest her no matter how many times she read it… except for this time. It wasn't that the book wasn't interesting anymore, it was just that… she had other things on her mind
