Copper was ready and was going to attack the trolls but when she was running towards them she heard Zelgadiss say, “Shield!”
She hit the force field hard and landed on the ground even harder!
“What’s the big idea!? I thought we’re suppose to fight back!” Copper screamed in pain.
“Lina can handle this,” Zelgadiss said calmly.
All of a sudden Lina started to chant a spell. She was so angry that she knew she would cause some serious damage!
"Darkness beyond darkness, Crimson beyond blood that flows, buried in the stream of time is where your power grows, I pledge myself to conquer all the foes that stand before the mighty gift bestowed in my unworthy hand, let the fools who stand before me be destroyed by the power you and I possess. DRAGON SLAVE!!"
“So that’s a Dragon Slave!” Copper said to herself.
The impact of the Dragon Slave was the biggest explosion Copper had ever seen! It almost broke Zelgadiss’s shield that surrounded the group. When the smoke cleared all was left was a satisfied Lina and burnt fish and troll on the ground. When Lina saw what she did to the fish she broke into tears!
“Ah MAN!!!!!!!!!”
Frankly Copper wasn’t really concerned about the fish, unlike the others who were screaming at Lina for creating the untimely cremation of their only food for that night while Xellos watched in amusement. What she was concerned about was the damage Lina’s Dragon Slave did to the area! All the trees that were once there were gone or still burning into ashes.
God, If I ever get home, please don’t let any these people (especially Lina) get stuck in my world!!! For the mercy of all the people who might want to use that power in the army!!!
“Come on Copper, we’re going to an Inn,” Zel said.
“Hey Zelgadiss, um.. tell me everything you know about Magic!”
Copper had just caught up with the group who were running fast down the road in their search for food.
“I said, tell me about magic Zelgadiss! You all have talents that are beyond imagination and I want to know everything!!” Zelgadiss remained silent until they reached the town. He wouldn’t even look at her.
This is too strange for me to understand! Zel thought, I know that she has powers, but she acts like this so new to her. I don’t even know if I should trust her. And in the world is Xellos doing here?!
While walking Zelgadiss started to remember the first time he had seen the strange girl in the bubble. He hadn’t noticed her at first as Kalisbar challenged him in a duel. But as he was preparing to fight he saw a glimmering through the trees and thought the light an object was taking shape. He couldn’t watch any longer for Kalisbar had already started to swing his sword! Zelgadiss continuously kept getting distracted by the bubble because each time he looked it changed. First there was nothing then an image a young girl stared to appear. She seemed to be watching the battle very closely. But suddenly another thing broke his concentration, at the same his and Kalisbar’s mask got slashed off and they saw each other’s faces. He was caught off guard and was Fire Balled. But Zel got him ( at least he thought) with a Rai Tilt. After that was over he saw that the bubble was still there and so was the girl. He couldn’t figure out if she could see him or not. He was going to touch bubble when Lina and Amelia unexpectedly called him and he went to tell them what he saw but when he returned she had fallen out of the bubble before his eyes!
I know I got myself into something dangerous and crazy, Zel thought to himself, I just don’t know how I did it! Again!
“Come on!! Zelgadiss answer me!” Copper whined as they went into the Inn, “I gotta know what I dealing with here!!”
Maybe I overestimated her, he thought ignoring her pleads.
“Listen!” she said through gritted teeth. Even through she was only as tall as Lina she was able to pull Zel by the collar and lower his face to hers. “I need to learn all I can about this world and magic it maybe the only way for me to figure out how to get home!”
Then slowly letting go of him and she sank in a chair and whispered, “I just want to go home; I miss my family, especially my mama.”
Everyone had already ordered and were now watching them from their seats.
“Hey she kinda acts Lina, doesn’t she?” said Gourry.
“You know her determination to get home is just as strong as yours to get a cure.” Xelloss concluded.
“He’s right, Zel,” Lina said placing a hand on his shoulder, “If you had a chance to get at a least a clue to finding your cure you would do anything to get it. Wouldn’t you?”
“All right, I’ll do it” Zel finally said.
“Great!” she said happily, “We’ll all help. And then we can find out what the Goddess Rainbow Queen has to do with this mess.”
“Goddess who?”
“Don’t you listen to anything, Gourry?!” Lina cried in anger.
“Miss Lina you know he doesn’t” Amelia sighed.
“Oh, just ignore him, and let get on with this.”
“Thanks Zelgadiss,” Copper said in satisfaction.
I’m finally getting somewhere! And nobody’s gonna stop me now!
