This was half done forever, and I finally decided to finish it and toss it up. I know almost everyone doesn’t care, but hopefully the person it’s intended for will enjoy it! ^_^

This was written as a birthday gift to the amazing and adorable parsnip_chan. I know many of you aren't familiar with Slayers, but it was my first fandom and it has a special soft spot in my heart. ^_^

If you’ve not read the Slayers novels, some of the history might not be familiar to you because it’s not distinctly emphasized in the anime. I wanted to post some information about the history of the Slayers universe along with the prologue, which will hopefully make it less confusing.

Now that you’re hopefully educated on the Slayers-verse, on with the prologue!
