 [color=1BA1DF]"One hundred years? Has it...really..."[/color] Tears began to form in Wendy's eyes and she turned away as Gajeel stepped forwards, appraising the group around the slayers.

[color=435259]"If it's been a hundred years, why do you all smell like you only have about a decade's worth of magic experience on you? What happened?"[/color] Jack Goran stepped up and Natsu, recognizing the smell of his magic, moved forwards with fire around his fist, but didn't move as Jack held up his hand.

[color=Turquoise]"Peace, Natsu Dragneel, I am no Zancrow. As for why it seems like the mages gathered before you lack the experience of mages in your time, that's because when Zeref twisted you into dragons and forced you to obey his commands, magic saw a severe decline in popularity. It's only been within the last several years that mages could use their magic without fear of reprisal, which was often violent. The Council was forced to throw innocent mages, mages who's only crime was wielding magic, into prison in order to keep the peace. In short,"[/color] he sighed, pointing at himself and a couple of Frenzy Plant's mages, [color=Turquoise]"very few were fortunate enough to have real tutelage."[/color] Sting stepped forwards next, his face solemn.

[color=DCE8E3]"If that's how it's been until recent history, how are things now?"[/color]

Damian was still reeling from what he was seeing when Penny stumbled towards him and his instincts kicked in before he processed what was happening. A flurry magic rose around him as he brought his Ares Blade to bear, and then he finished processing and the magic faded with his sword as he moved forwards. [color=FireBrick]"Easy, Penny. I'm here, I'm OK. Little dazed, little confused, entirely lost, but alive and well."[/color]
