"Anyway..." Zelas was fighting the urge to fall down laughing at the way Lina was fighting against her temper. "I wanted to let you know that we're leaving." Lina nodded, and Zelas smirked at her. "Oh, but before you think that we're not going to be around..." She snapped her fingers and two small bodies stepped out from behind Zelas and Dolphin. Lina's eyes widened as she saw the miniature versions of the two Mazoku Lords in front of her. "They're a piece of our Astral bodies that we're leaving behind. A perfect copy of us... At exactly 1/8th our size." Zelas blinked as Lina face-faulted and Shiro groaned. "What?"
"You stole that from that movie, didn't you?" Shiro asked, sweating as Zelas smirked at him.
"Actually, she got the idea from this book." Xellos held up a manga and tossed it to Shiro. "The Supreme Demon Lord deciding to watch after her daughter by leaving a miniature version of herself behind? Lord Beastmaster thought it was quite ingenious."
Zelas nodded and turned. "Partly because I have things I need to take care of here and back home and partly because if Dolphin and I left, how would you draw upon our powers?"
"I think I'd manage." Lina said flatly and twitched as the two small versions of the Mazoku Lords disappeared.
"I bet you would." Zelas smiled as she and Dolphin walked outside before disappearing, along with the quiet girl, back to the red world.
Back inside, Lina looked at Xellos. "So, what's the point of those small versions anyway?"
Xellos grinned at her. "That... is a secret." Lina hung her head as he laughed and disappeared into thin air.
"I hate him some days." Lina grumbled while Shiro patted her on the back.
