Oh. A tower that traps and torments its tenants isn't bad enough, is it? 'No, Miss Filia, I'm entertaining the thought of sending you there before Dark Star is defeated'?

I see.

[ :D? ]

This is not even remotely entertaining. It's downright awful and you should be ashamed of yourself. There's no one there to tell me that everything turns out all right.

[ At least there aren't any Monsters? ]

A small pittance.

Miss Lina won't even know who I am...

[dragonspooker]

Well... At least I'll find out that myself and the others survived our encounter with Copy Rezo and that Zanaffar?

[Lina, you're kind of bad at this consoling thing.]

[aurous]

[ miss lina ;A; ]

Are food and yourself the only things you worry about?

[dragonspooker]

No! [She totally mentioned the others. That counts! Time to act like she didn't though.] ...after all, if there's no world left, there's no treasure to find.

[aurous]

Treasure? What about lives? Knowledge? Culture! They're much more worthy of attention than treasure.

[dragonspooker]

Well, yeah...

Treasures can't come about without people to make 'em. And they need knowledge to make 'em. And more often that not, they're cultural things, so.

[She does care. In some weird, roundabout, greedy way.]

[aurous]

I suppose you're right. Still, people would have a higher opinion of you if you included those reasons, too. In the beginning.

[dragonspooker]

You get a reputation like mine, you kind of stop worrying about building it up at the start when you expect everyone to run away at the mere mention of my name.

[aurous]

Yes, you have done much to warrant so fearsome a reputation at so young an age...

[dragonspooker]

_{Oi, you don't gotta agree that much...}

[aurous]

Doesn't it concern you?

[dragonspooker]

Well, yes! I don't exactly enjoy the reputation and nicknames I've picked up! It's just that any attempts to curb it have fallen on deaf ears.

[Mostly because Lina's idea of curbing this reputation consists of terrorizing and/or blowing up the offending parties...]

[wretchedlaugh]

Ooooohohohohohohoh!

Armageddon just comes and goes for you and Lina Inverse now, doesn't it? I don't remember having to nearly deal with anything like Dark Star. Not that it wouldn't have been simple for a prodigious sorceress like myself to handle.

[aurous]

[ ow ]

But I-- [ ofdmdgdh what is she wearing ] I've never heard of you before.

[sorewahimitsudesu]

Come, come, Miss Filia.

Surely we can fend for ourselves, hm?

[aurous]

I wish you good luck in finding another willing to use fusion magic with you.

[sorewahimitsudesu]

You know, when you put it like that, it sounds almost scandalous.

[aurous]

It is! If it weren't for Dark Star threatening the safety of our world, I wouldn't be caught dead performing it with you, or any other Monster.

[sorewahimitsudesu]

My, my. Someone's defensive!

Just let us be glad that my kind has specific wishes for how the world is to end, yes? Or else you wouldn't have had the other side of that coin handy, in myself.

[aurous]

Why should I be glad about something just as horrible as that? Don't think you'll ever succeed, either! I won't allow it, the servants of Flare Dragon Ceifeed won't allow it, and Lina Inverse most certainly won't allow it.

[sorewahimitsudesu]

Well, if that was not the case, we simply would have sat back and watched Dark Star devour everything. Then you wouldn't have had my power to dance around with yours, and that quaint little prophecy wouldn't have worked out too well.

That wouldn't have ended well for anyone, would it~?

As for those other matters... yes, well. We are a patient enough lot.

[aurous]

[ uh excuse me xellos, your logic is unwanted here ]

And if you had? If your kind does succeed in returning everything to chaos, what will you do then?

[sorewahimitsudesu]

[Rubbing "You owe me" in the face of the Slayers cast is one of the things that helps him sleep at night. ... Uh. If Mazoku sleep, that is.]

Ahhhh, do you really want me to answer such a thing, Miss Filia?

It may not be the sort of thing you want your preciously pure thoughts burdened with~

[aurous]

[ There is a slight hesitation. ]

There won't be any negative emotions to feed off of...

What do you gain by destroying the world?

[1/2]

[sorewahimitsudesu]

There is a very good explanation for that.

You see, my dear Miss Filia...

[2/2] - I'm so sorry, I couldn't resist.

[sorewahimitsudesu]

It's a secret.
