'Okay. What's going on? It should have happened. I did nothing different,' Lina thought.
Lina's sharp hearing picked up a conversation at a table that Prince Phil was negotiating a peace treaty with a nearby country.
'Wait a minute. If Prince Phil is still in Seyruun, then he's not going on a journey. Something's wrong.'
Lina thought about her first meeting with Prince Phil. She shook her head as two memories came to the surface. The first was when she first met Amelia and had Gourry helping out. The second memory felt more real, it felt like it happened during the time that Naga was tailing around behind her. It showed Lina meeting Prince Phil alone and dealing with Randionel with no help from Amelia or Gourry. She then thought back to her travels with Naga and got two different sets of memories with major discrepancies. One memory showed Lina and Naga working alongside Diol for a little bit, before he came up with his nutty chimera plan. The memory that stood out most clearly in Lina's mind was that she had part of the Ragna Blade long before she met Xellos or even Naga.
Gourry, seeing the strange expression on Lina's face asked, "Are you okay?"
"Oh. Just some random memories. It's nothing for you to worry about," Lina replied.
"If you say so," Gourry said skeptically.
Biting her lip, Lina secretly slapped a protection spell on both the knife and the orihalcum statue.
'Until I figure out what's going on, I'm going to have to keep my distance from Rezo,' Lina thought and finished her meal.
Lina went up to her room and quickly made some talismans out of the flawed gems. She, with Gourry in tow, sold most of the goods at a nearby magic store. Before leaving, the map hanging on the wall caught Lina's attention. To her mind there was something wrong with it. She mentally went over the places she had been and would be if things stayed the same. When she came to Xoana, the country was not even on the map. There was a city that was part of a larger kingdom instead of the small kingdom that would be a source of a major harassment for Lina.
'Okay. That's odd,' Lina thought, while biting her lower lip. 'Conflicting memories and a map that has a country missing. What did Darkstar do? He intended for me to relive my life over and over, but he screwed up. I'm now wondering how big a screw up.'
Lina shook her head and decided that instead of staying in town for tonight, she would leave. Hopefully, it would keep Zelgadis away until she figured out what was going on.
'If I make those detours, I'll wind up in Atlas City at about the same time as I did originally. Hopefully, I can get a handle on what's going on.'
