So, Gourry is Fiona?  Just with Amnesia and a guy's body?

Heh. Well, that WOULD explain a lot, wouldn't it?

Okay, there are basically two possibilities here: Gourry is Fiona, or Gourry isn't Fiona. However, I'm going to be yankin' your collective chains both ways.

Which way is the true way? I think I'll let Xellos answer this question. Take it Xel!

Xellos: Sore wa himitsu desu!  /^_^\

You readers (hopefully) won't know which one is really the case and which is the wild goose chase until you find out.

Does Mel know about the Sword of Light?

That is a VERY complicated question, and there is no simple answer, as you'll see in future chapters.
