[color=red][i]" Fuck you! I'm not done ... not yet"[/i][/color][/center]

[b]C[/b]rimson petals burned slowly, crispy and dark pieces was pulled with the westward wind. They passed along his face with a cruel fate, destiny had not been nice to the greenery that had once grew there. All that was for several thousand feet around him was the dead spots, black and crumpled. The crimson petals were only the most recent to be affected by the intensity of his heat. The heat was visible around him, the clear fluctuations weaved up and down in various places, centering on him as if comforted by his presence. 

[b]H[/b]e raised up with the help of shattered shortsword, standard for the fodder that now littered the charred earth around him. Some held tight to their weapons, still grasping them even as they were teleported to the infirmary. Others were beaten to the point that they didn't have the time to close their eyes; only the time to let them roll back and reveal the white was granted before they fell unconscious. Even now, on his third-straight day of training without water or food, had Sable been made to take a knee. 

[color=red]" [b]Y[/b]ou couldn't possibly ... Nghn, think this could take me down! Hell no, I'm nowhere near done. Fairy Tail is going need a strong leader to command its mages. I could care less for what you magic council dicks have to say, I'm going to bring it back!"[/color]

He shot forth a torrent of crimson flames from his feet, the fire sliced the earth like cookie-dough before up-chucking a slab into the air. Sable shot off the ground and landed with a thud onto its airborne surface, the moist earth beneath his feet threatened to break apart, only to give way to solid rock. He scrambled up the vertical rock before stepping off it pointed edge and even further into the air. From below he watched the fifty archers from the magic council pull back tight-bowstrings and conjured up an array of ethereal arrows. 

" [b]F[/b]airy Tail has been put to rest for a reason, Mr. Rhodroth. Do not think the will of a single man can overcome the shield of Fiore. The sword of the King. And the law of the land." The commanding officer yelled from his place at the end of the firing line. "[b]F[/b]ire at will soldiers!"

"[b]R[/b]ight!" shouted the army before releasing a storm that rushed towards him. 

[color=red]" [b]M[/b]y will is not that of a man's! But that of a Dragon's! Know my strength!"[/color] Sable's fist clenched up as he urged the magical strength hidden beyond to surface. A fiery essence raced from his core and burned him until he was forced to construct it into a physical form. The might of his enhanced flames; the proof that Natsu's magic resonated inside him, burst forth and with a blinding light, disintegrated the colorful arrows with a sharp, surrounding hiss. 

[b]A[/b]bove he looked upon the council soldiers with anger that seared the very wind. The archers and soldiers grasped at their throats, some stripping from their armor while sweat poured off their bodies. Sable felt the weight of gravity leave his shoulders as three apple-sized flames spiraled over his right shoulder, keeping him afloat. He bit his lip and felt the exhaustion that sent the soldiers below scrambling for water.

[b]W[/b]ell his training was finally over. As usual he marveled at the infinite expanse of the sky. A great blue that could not be bound or touched like the ocean. This place was truly free. Though lonely at times, he could feel the greatness and legend that came with it. And he wanted it to be his. Like the sky he would be a infinite ... Or perhaps he was just thinking randomly again. He tended to do that lately. 

[b]A[/b] glance was spared for the scorched earth in the form of a fluid, curving maneuver. He paused as if laying on a slanted, upright sofa. The wasteland had not faired well. He was sure he had just destroyed the homes of thousands of animals. But it worth it to grow stronger. With this strength, he felt that he had finally surpassed those that would betray him. And he owed it all to Kyou and Oriel. 

[b]F[/b]rom below he spotted Rush flying towards him. Sable cut a path through his heat for the exceed, she had grown lately. " You did great, Sable-Sable. I'm so proud to have you as my partner."

[color=red][b]"Y[/b]ou should really kick that habit's ass, Rush-Rush. Don't you know I'll be king one day. It'll be embarrassing,"[/color] he teased before placing his hand on her head and rubbing it.

[b]S[/b]he nodded before flying in his chest and snuggling him. Sable could only answer by letting his anger and Slayer move fade away as he drifted to the ground. [color=red][i] I have new friends now, Vyper's Bolt. Prepare to be put down like the snakes you are.[/i][/color]
