I don't own the GW guys. I'm poor. This story is for entertainment only.
Xellos and Zelgadis eyed their young lover, Gourry, as he thrashed on his bed shrieking about the darkness. Two days before the young swordsman and Guardian had been found by Guardian Zechs. Gourry's fort stopped reporting and everyone feared the worst. The fort was a smoking ruin and the two sorcerers prepared themselves to find their lovers body in the ruins, but hadn't. Instead, he was found many miles away. Alive.
The blond had been wandering a forest yelling about monsters and lashing out at shadows. It took the entire squad to bring him down and get him to the castle. The two ancient Guardians watched Gourry's madness and promised massive retribution when they found out who was responsible.
A small, longhaired man entered the chamber and the two men were forced to leave. Duo was an excellent healer, but he would need to be alone. This new Guardian was the best healer of the group and would help Gourry, if anyone could.
Duo placed his hands on the staring man's head and closed his eyes. He needed to reach whatever mental wound was so tormenting the warrior and cleanse it. However, this wound was like no other he had ever seen. No sooner did he touch it than it tried to wrap itself around his consciousness.
Pain lashed his body as it forced its way into him, caressing his soul with cold fingers. Duo pulled away from Gourry in an attempt to stop the invasion. It worked. The contact ceased and the healer collapsed to his knees, shivering with dread, revulsion, and panic.
Gourry sat up slowly and reached for his sword. He loomed over the startled Guardian.
"We have come for you, Duo. If you will not become one of us, you will be swept away by us." The mouth was the blond swordsman's, but the voice was not. Duo watched in horror as the Sword of Light descended towards him.
