The Slayers
Dawn of a New Age

Chapter 3
The Charade
After a long journey on the road Omar, Zel and Amelia finally made it to  Luna�s
house. Her house is full of beautiful flowers and in the back theres plenty of grapes, which
the kingdom of Zefielia is famous for. The walls of the house are baby blue with white trim
on the doors and windows.
The group of friends hopped out of the carriage and walked slowly to the front
door. Luna�s house was full of life. Blue, white, and a touch of pink, all in pastels colored
the mid-sized house. Omar walked forward and knocked and the door.
A few moments passed and then came the voice witch sounded like all the angles
in the heavens singing, a voice sweet as honeydew in the morning after a mid-nights
shower. �I�ll be there in a moment.�
Another moment passed and the woman opened the door to show herself. She�s
about 5�6��, her pale purple hair glimmers in the sun as if it was metallic, her eyes are as
clear as the sky above, and her high cut skirt shows off her silky smooth legs, and an ass
to boot. Her high cheek bones makes her smile even more enchanting. �Hello my name is
Mellarune� She said with a wink.
Omar couldn�t hold back his shock. Could this be the Mellarune I left behind he
thought to himself. Omar looked her up and down, and then finally spoke. �You turned
out better than I thought you would.�
Mellarune only smiled, �I�ll take that as a complement from you.�
�I heard so much about you.� Zel said.
�Only good things I hope.� Mellarune replied, and they all shared a laugh.
Then Omar broke the tension, �Where is my mother?� The look on his face and the
tone of his voice were as cold as the highest peak on Mount. Kakorot surprised all that
saw him.
�Come with me.� Mellarune said, and the all followed her to though the house and
into the back yard where his mother�s body now lies. Theres about 20 chairs, with an ile
in-between two sets of ten. Omars aunt, Luna is about half-way from the between him and
his mother.
Omar walks toward his mother and ignores the words from his aunt, But stops
right before he gets to the alter. The others only look on with curiosity when Omar says,
�This isn�t funny.�
* * *
Gourry and Tyrone finally get to Luna�s house but Gourry is to excited to see the
sign next to the stairs. Tyrone stops to read the sign, �The death of a loved one, Lina,
you�ll always have a place in our hearts.� Tyrone frowns and scratches his chin, �Hmm,
where have I... She Gourry�s wife! .�
Tyrone doubles the pace when Gourry starts to walk in the house. �Wait up
Gourry!� Tyrone shouts at him.

* * *
Omar turns to see his aunt squarely in the eye. �Explain yourself.�
�You mother died after being bitten...�
�I�ll hear not any more of your lies!� Omar interrupted �Explain yourself!� Omar
starred on with a cold glare.
Luna looked down to her gloves and before she could begin to say anything
Gourry came out the back door �Hey, everyone I home.� Everyone starred in awe, then
the silence was broken.
Tyrone grab Gourry by the shoulder and said, �The person in the coffin is your
wife, Lina.�
Gourry began to sank down, �No Lina, I�m just to late.� Gourry climbs back up to
his feet and walks over to his wives deathbed. �Oh Lina, you can�t die before me.� Gourry
scoops Lina up and holds her body tight. �Lina.� Gourry sheds a tear and it splashes on
her forehead.
Lina begins to open her eyes, �Gourry you big dummy, where have you been?�
Every eyes go wide except for Luna�s and Omar�s. Gourry looks deep into her
eyes and says, �Lina your alive.�
Mellarune looks around and the finally eyes her mother, �Mother can you explain
this to me?�
Omar turns to His aunt again, �Yes an explanation would be nice.�
Gourry helps Lina out of the coffin and puts her on her two feet. �I can explain, I
just wanted to see my son again, it�s been so long I forgot what you looked like.� Lina
grabs Omars face, with a palm on each cheek. She then look to Mellarune. �Mellarune we
had to make it as real as possible, so we couldn�t tell you.�
�Mother how could you do this to me?! If you just wanted to see me I would of
came, but you put me through hell.� Omars squeezed he�s hands so tight his knuckles
were white. Tears began to squeeze out of his tightly shut eyes.
�Omar.� Lina began.
�No, I should be happy, after all father is back with us.� Omar looked up to see his
father and mother together once again, and smiles with tears still flowing from his sockets.
�Omar� Lina said once again, and he went over to hug his dear parents.
