"And history shows that non members have been on the island, so long as blood members have been on the island as well" Patrick spoke up, stepping towards Ferrin, "and there are a few members throughout the guilds who are blood relatives of Fairy Tail- they might not have the marks, but they are Fairy Tail." He said quite calmly, watching the older man, "beyond that, you are foolish to consider taking on what even Fairy Tail, blue peagsus lamia scale and sabertooth with their dragon slayers and powerful members, couldn't do.

"Fiore is the duty of anyone with magic to look after it, and to do so right. Tenrou island is apart of it, it didn't die out with the lose of the guilds, and the lack of freedom for magic.

Because you are not going there alone"
