"When I Grow Up" [Slayers, Amelia, G] Title: "When I Grow Up..." Series: Slayers Rating: G Genre: Vignette Words: 100 Notes/Warnings: Done for '6 flights of fancy' for 12dayschristmas. Summary: Amelia's childhood dream. Disclaimer:
When Amelia was young, she thought she would be a swordswoman. She had planned to learn enough white magic to exorcize and heal, and maybe some spirit shamanism, then ride out, (on a horse, or sometimes a unicorn in her daydreams) as a knight-errant champion of justice, while Grandfather and Daddy and Gracia managed the kingdom.
She sometimes wondered if things had gone differently, would the reality be as good as the dream. Then again, besides the sword (and unicorn) she had done some hero-ing, only to return home, where she was needed as Princess, not Knight.
