Lina Inverse
With a rush of wind, three figures materialise in the land of Alagaesia.

"-consider your off- Hey, Xellos! Hold on a minute, what did you just do? Where are we?"

The man floating a few feet above them smiles and wags a finger playfully.

"That... is a secret."
And with that he vanishes.


"Hey, wait! Xellos! Nnnnngh... COME BACK HERE RIGHT NOW YOU NO-GOOD MAZOKU, I KNOW YOU'RE LISTENING! AS SOON AS I GET MY HANDS ON YOU I'LL-"

As she continues to shout death-threats at the air, the girl's companion taps her on the shoulder.
"Say, Lina. I know you're really upset right now, but who was that guy?"
"Who- That was Xellos! Xellos! We've travelled around with him for weeks! Gourry, don't tell me you don't remember!"

"Hmmm..."
The man furrows his brow, deep in concentration. After a few seconds...
"Nope!"

A vein throbs in the girl's forehead.
"JELLYFISH FOR BRAINS!"
A number of birds take flight as a loud "whack" resounds throughout the area.

"Hey, what was that for?"
"..."

"Levitation!"
With a whoosh, the girl rises into the air, and stops to scan her surroundings.
"Hey Gourry!" she shouts, "Looks like there's a town nearby! Last one there has to pay for dinner!"
"Hey, Lina, no fair!" the man pants as he runs after her.
