Current "Doing your best" does not mean working yourself to the point of a mental breakdown. Its no longer your best at that point.

the bad thing about being bullied is that every time it happens it steals a little piece of who you are if it happens enough little by little you become a little less of who you were meant to be.

"Lazarus!"

Sasha's shout tore out her throught as she watched him get thrown through the air. She would not let him die... she couldn't let him die. She leaped towards him, not seeming to realise anything else was going on as she hurried to save him, protect him. As the Dragon didn't come down on him, Sasha was sure that she could hear her own heart beating as she slowed near him.

At his words, Sasha looked up, fear and horror filling her as her gaze landed on the black mage before returning back to Lazarus. "Lazarus... " she whispered, reaching out to him, knowing just how challenging this would be for him. "Lazarus. I'm here." She said, louder as she held his gaze. "I love you." She didn't know how to snap him out of it, how to bring hm back to her.

She wrapped her arms around him, curling in against his body, her ice armour slipping away. "Lazarus, I'm not going to let him hurt you. He won't take you away from me. I promise." What ever happened, she was not going to let Lazarus be swept up in Zeref's mischief.




Jarvis held Amelia close against him, his gaze looking around him for any sign of danger. He would not let anything harm Amelia. Doing what he could to aid the guild, he lowered his gaze to Amelia, knowing that he would do anything to ensure she left this island unhurt.

"Amelia... " He could only be content with Sam being back at the guild. His gaze moved to Jamie, and he knew he would do anything to protect them, and save them from harm. When Zeref appeared, Jarvis shifted, moving more in front of Amelia and towards Jamie.

"Jamie... if things go south, use the teleportation lacrima."




As Jasmine launched herself at Penny, she stumbled back slightly, but didn't fall. Wrapping her arms around the younger girl, Penny closed her eyes and let out a slow breath. Jasmine was shaking... she had really scared the girl... "I'm sorry, Jaz." She said softly, hugging her close. "No, its not your fault." she said, brushing back Jasmine's hair, wiping at the blood. "It's not your fault. I would have made this choice... I can't leave you, or Sasha, Ariel, Damien." She said softly, trying to reassure Jasmine. "It isn't your fault, okay Jasmine? It's mine."

"Shhhhhhh."

Soothing Jasmine, or trying to soothe her, Penny gave her a gentle squeeze and for a moment she didn't know whether or not she was giving Jasmine comfort or taking comfort from her. "Yes... it's an attack... based on bond, trust." She explained, "Jaz... I've told you before, you're family. Mine. i wanted to protect you, keep you safe. But.... You're strong... you're brave. Even if you don't know it."

she didn't want to let her go, but she did so as Jasmine healed her remaining injuries. She didn't care that she was wearing clothes torn by the metal, covered in her own blood. she nodded at Jasmine's words, "I'll always come back." She promised. "You're right. We need to get going." Still, she lingered a moment more, her gaze on Jasmine. "Everything will be okay. We will come out of this."

She drew in a breath, glancing to the exceed before she started in the direction of the others. She shuddered at the scene of something dark, something evil nearby and swallowed as she came upon the scene. A handful of dragons... even one was one too many. Her gaze swept over the rest of the scene, resting on Damien for a moment before moving onto the source of the dark magic, Zeref.

Perfect.

Just perfect. As if they hadn't been though enough already. Wearily, she ran a hand through her hair, dislodging dirt and leaves. The general feel of everyone else... it wasn't good. Drawing a breath, Penny began another song, hoping to fill her comrades with hope and energy once more.




Mavis, Ferrin

Marvis drew her gaze to Ferrin, her expression oddly dark as she studied him, clearly not pleased with his words. She waited a beat, as if to see whether Ferrin would say anything else. "Sometimes, Ferrin dear, I wonder if you will ever think before you speak." She brought her gaze back to Zeref, contemplating him. He did not seem phased by those that were charging towards him.

"You will leave those dragons alone- they aren't yours, Zeref! You have no claim to them." She said, her voice loud once more. Something seemed to happen, the figures charging towards Zeref freezing in the air. Curious, Mavis watched them for a moment, before returning her gaze to Zeref.

"It ends... "




Patrick moved fast as Ariel and Ash sought to attack Zeref, reaching up with one hand, he froze them in time. "Don't be foolish!"

Penny


Penny knew that she would have caused Jasmine grief. Her dying... But she had not expected Jasmine to have actually fought the creature while she was otherwise indisposed. She was relieved that the girl was okay and seemed more than prepared to help her in this attack. Focusing the her magic into the attack, she watched as the dragon stumbled, once, twice, three times- and finally fell to the ground.

She had to force herself to stop, wanting to end it here and now. She wasn't going to kill... not again. She hesitated, watching the dragon to see if it would recover, before she finally turned back towards Jasmine.

"I... I'm sorry, Jasmine. I... I didn't know that was going to happen. I... wasn't fast enough." She bowed her head, letting out her breath slowly before taking another deep breath. "What I am... I had the choice to come back, because of being a Phoenix Slayer... I am a Phoenix." Saying those words aloud, it shook her to her very core. But what other choice had she had?

"Are you okay?" She asked Jasmine, absently reaching up to give Ignatius a pat, not seeming to be phased by the fact the exceed was perched on her shoulder like a strange bird. "I don't think the rest of the dragons will be that easy... it was injured... that attack... a unison raid, I didn't know we could do that." They'd been through a lot together, in the short time they'd known each other... she still never would have imagined that they could pull off such a powerful attack together.




Sasha


Shifting at once to move out the way, Sasha was stopped by Lazarus leaping in front of her. She could almost be angry at him- she had told him to be careful too, hadn't she? She didn't want to lose him, but the sheer... protectiveness of the action had her softening. No matter what anyone else thought about Lazarus, he was a good man- and would be a good father. She hadn't planned on falling in love with him... it had just happened and now... Sometimes she still couldn't believe they were going to have a child.

She lay one ice covered hand on her stomach when he looked to it, gave him a smile. She'd make sure they'd all get home. There was simply no other result that she'd tolerate. As he called to her, Sasha stepped up, her gaze going to the dragon. It really was a magnificent creature, even as it was terrifying. She had fought demons, but compared to this... the Dragon's seemed to radiate power, radiate magic in a way that let you know they were powerful and deadly. Demon's just sought to overwhelm and control. Dragons... There was no question that they were the kings and queens of this world.

Her gripped tightened on the ice lance she held and she drew in a deep breath, before she shouted out "Ice Queen: Lance of the Narwhal!" And threw it directly towards the dragon, aiming for an eye, or something else vulnerable- she just knew if it hit the scales, it wouldn't do anything but minor damage to it.

There was so many attacks going on... as Mayt tried to draw the Dragon's attention, Sasha could only hope that everything would work together... the quicker they took out even one dragon, the quicker that they could help the others.






The dark haired young appearing man wearing black robes and a white toga draped over one shoulder, seemed to appear out of no where. His high collar framed a serious face, as he surveyed the scene of destruction, the dragons looming over the mages that ran rampet over the island. Some must have the blood of Fairy Tail in them, the long dead guild still causing him headaches even this far into his plans. Briefly, he wondered how many years had truly passed before deciding that it didn't matter.

The previous Dragon Slayers, six children hurtled through time 400 years into the future to fulfil his plans, to end his long years of solitude and waiting... they had succumbed, becoming the dragons they were meant to slay. Watching the scene a few moments, the Black Mage known of Zeref, perhaps the most powerful mage in the world, began to walk.

He began to once more gain control of the situation. He wasn't entirely sure what had happened, but he had no doubt that Mavis was involved in some way, and Fairy Law. He vaguely remembered that fool Makarov doing something... No doubt the old man had died using Fairy Law, with limited years left... it would have taken his whole strength. Of course, Mavis could have interfered in some way, she had been, even then, powerful.

Absently, Zeref directed magic towards the dragons, halting their attacks and bringing them under his control in one fell sweep. With disgust he noted that one had been, if not defeated, certainly put out of the game for the time being.

His gaze swept over the guild mages, and then stopped abruptly, moving back to the small, somewhat child like figure.

"Mavis... "



Somewhere on the island, the first guild master of Fairy Tail sat, watching the scene unfold before her. The ever young mage hummed as she thought of numerous ways things might go and just how she could effect the outcome. The small amount of magic she was using to create the illusion of herself where the others were was of no consequence to her.

She hummed to herself, her eyes fluttering from one thing to the next, only pausing as the sound of footsteps reached her ears. "Hello, Loki." She said without looking up from what she was studying. "It's been a long time. i trust you are doing well?"

"Guild Master... " The spirit, known as Loki to the Fairy Tail members, spoke respectfully. "Is... is she here?"

At the hitch in Leo's voice, Mavis looked up, her child like features falling into grief. "No... I'm sorry, Loki. She died... but perhaps it would be of comfort to know, that she does live on in a way... a form of immortality is children... and you serve one of her... hm... great grandchildren, I believe. You didn't know?"

"She... "

"Yes. She died, and I guided the child to Fiore. With your key. I could have sent Lucy home as well, but she didn't want to go... she refused to leave... I wish I had made her."

Leo was silent for a few moments, composing himself. "Did she... Did she leave anything?"

"You mean the keys. Her spirits." Mavis said, reaching for a rather old, battered bag. "Yes. Her journal is there too. Answers, I imagine, for the others." Leo reached out, taking the bag and closing his eyes. The keys were there... his companions could finally be free, after 100 years trapped... that at least was some consolation.

"Well, come on. Time to return." Mavis said, but even as she rose, she reached over and gave Leo's hand a squeeze. "She named her son Leo. Leo Dragneel." She started towards the battle, her thoughts once more turning towards various strategies. As they neared the scene, she let her illusion fade. None seemed to notice her, a young woman appearing on the scene. Of course, everyone was distracted by the dragons.

Which was reasonable. But still. "Go to your boy." Mavis said to Leo, "He's doing well... he definitely needed you." She urged the spirit onward, towards Gabriel, amidst the dragons and his guild mates, his allies. Her gaze moved onward, right to the spot where Zeref appeared moments later.

"Zeref, you will do no more harm here!" Mavis shouted over the noise, her voice seemed to reach even the far side of the island, as she kept her gaze on the dark haired man. "You will never harm anyone again!"

There were many things that Gabriel was unsure of. He was more than unsure that he shouldn't be here, fighting Dragons... and who knew what else. But Leo had asked... and now here he was, in the middle of a Dragon fight. As Zev and Enma engaged the Dragon, Gabriel grimaced but stepped up as well. Leo had disappeared, but he still had other spirits. He took the time to summon both Dog and Rat, before swallowing. He wouldn't ask his spirits to fight if he himself wasn't ready to too.

Stepping up beside's Enma, Gabriel stared at the Dragon, trying not to shake.

Dog and Rat charged the Dragon, and Gabriel knew that they would only be a distraction- but hopefully enough of a distraction that the others could take the dragon down. "This is the last time I listen to that damn lion." he muttered, keeping his gaze on the dragon. He was oddly terrified that if he looked away, the dragon would attack.




Michael shook his head, it never ceased to amaze him just how Prince could be so... calm in the face of a storm. Still, Michael gave his companion a smile, even if it was somewhat nervous and crooked. He knew why he was here... but it still didn't mean he wasn't terrified out of his own skin. "Shouldn't we help?"




Patrick looked up as someone lifted him, staring at the small girl mildly amused. "I just need- " But it was too late, she was taking them into the air. "... to catch my breath... " He finished, a little lamely. He knew he needed more than a few moments, but he didn't have more than a few moments recover. Sighing softly, he said "thank you. But I can't sit on the side lines." Unafraid, knowing that this moment wasn't the moment of his death, Patrick freed himself from Ariel's hold and found himself falling to the ground.

It was a simple matter to slow his fall, slowing time around him and landing safelty. He swayed a moment, closing his eyes a few seconds before drawing in a deep breath and started towards Ferrin taking on the white dragon.

"Don't take a Dragon on alone." Patrick said, mild amusement in his voice, "It seems I've been hearing that since I was a young boy. I believe they were the last words I heard before coming back in time." He shifted, raising his arms, using the action to draw in more magic, more strength before he grinned, "I don't just slow down time, Old Man. You want fast? I can make you fast."




Sasha had no qualms about stepping back and allowing the Dragon Fang Master to take over. "You don't need to call me Lady... I can assure you I'm no lady." She said softly, "Also... we don't have enough slayers... You'll have to use some of us as well. Not that any of us would be side lined, anyway." Still, she had promised Lazurus that she would be careful. For their child.

She didn't know if she could stand back and watch, though. Not after everything.

She had no issues with Ferrin shouting orders to the others- while she had taken leadership, even the best had their officers, to help. And Ferrin knew what he was doing. Turning her gaze around to the others, she survayed the scene to see where she could best help. Throwing out attacks towards the other dragons, she threw what spells that she had at her disposal. Ice queens Dragon rock slide, Ice Queen's Tiger impact, Ice Queen's hawk arrow. The way this form was... her normal attacks, they were stronger than ever and it shocked her, rocking her back on her heels slightly as her gaze flickered between fights.




Penny took advantage of having both hands free to continue attacking the dragon, now with full force, adding her power to Jasmine's attacks. She didn't know if the girl knew what she was doing, but she was at least doing something. Penny was still determined to protect the girl, however, and she made sure to keep herself in front of Jasmine so she could be ready to block any of the dragon's attacks.

As they dragon returned fire, iron shooting towards both of them, and the dragon drawing nearer, Penny shifted once more. The sheer size of the dragon... she was sure that simply being stepped on would crush either of them. Let alone the teeth. And the tail. And claws.

"Phoenix song: slo- Argh!" As the dragon turned its gaze on her, Penny saw her mistake. Relying on her Phoenix songs, which took too long to use in a situation like this... the iron came towards her and she could do nothing to stop it- if she dodged, it would strike Jasmine. If she took the time to incinerate it, she wouldn't be able to defend herself.

Up above, Ignatius merely chuckled at Rajah's words, but his mirth soon faded and his shout filled the scene. "NOOOO!" But it was too late, he couldn't do anything but what as the metal impaled Penny.

Raising a hand, Penny felt herself falling to the ground, blackness already creeping at the edge of her vision. "Jasmine.... " She struggled to breath, coughing painfully- coughing up blood. She had failed her. "Sasha... " She'd never get to see her niece or nephew grow up. "Ariel... " She still hadn't fixed things there... "Damien... " The last words she'd said to him had been in anger. What she wouldn't give to be able to take them back, or to have another few moments... just another few moments, to tell him just how she felt.

Her hand pulled the metal out her chest, but she knew it was a lost cause. She was dying.

As the blackness continued to consume her sight, she closed her eyes. she struggled to breath for a moment or two, before.... she stopped. Opening her eyes, frowning- shouldn't death be nothingness?- to a white room. "Oh... no no no.... " the realisation of where she was... the choice she had never wanted to make... it squeezed her heart painfully.

Closing her eyes tightly, tears didn't come. Damien. Sasha. Jasmine. Ariel. Her family, however small and mismatch that it was, it was hers. And Jasmine was in danger. She couldn't leave her... she couldn't leave any of them. Not yet. "Take me back. I have to save her." Shaking, she wrapped her arms around herself. "I want to live." Music filled her ears, warming her body, filling it... This was not a choice she could regret, not right then at least.

Opening her eyes, Penny found herself once more facing the dragon. Glancing to her chest, she could see that there was no longer a wound there, despite the blood. She rose, and as she did flames covered her body, not her usual phoenix form, but more refined- it seemed more that the flames had taken over her features.

"Jasmine." She looked towards the girl, to make sure that she was still alright, before she turned to face the dragon once more. "Together." When she was sure that Jasmine was ready, Penny took the other girls hand. As they both attacked, Penny knew that it would be stronger- that it would be an attack together. "Firestorm!" The powerful attack, a perfect combination of fire and water, hit the dragon head on, sending it stumbling. Penny didn't let up the attack.

Ignatius flew down, landing on Penny's shoulder, unafraid it seemed of the flames. He curled his tail around Penny's neck, holding his balance. The exceed was shaking slightly, appearing more than a little shaken by what had happened.




Taking in the scene, Jamie looked about at her members, and the members of Dragon Fang and Frenzy plant. There was not much that she could do, not here on this island where she suspected that her powers wouldn't change the environment. And not without hurting the others. Still, between her and Jarvis they had experience. And Jarvis had his lacarmia. Glancing to Amelia, Jamie knew that Jarvis- and herself- wouldn't let anything happen to her.

"Thank you." She said softly, accepting the lacrima that Jarvis passed her, some of his large stock that he had prepared over time.

Patrick stumbled as his time spell failed, falling to the ground and breathing hard. Something sharp pierced the palm on one hand, but he didn't seem to notice as he sought to gather his remaining strength to rise. It seemed to take an age, as Hunter attacked the red dragon. His arms trembling, his legs threatening to give way as he rose, he sought anything to hold onto until he gained his strength.

He was blown back by Ferrin's attacks, not being aware of what was coming and he went flying, crashing into a nearby tree. His breath left him in an explosion and he closed his eyes as pain lashed out at him from many different parts of his body. He suspected he might have a few broken bones.

"You're meant to be killing it, not me Old Man!" Patrick shouted

Sighing as everything went to hell, Sasha watched as first Hunter, than Ash and finally Ferrin attacked the dragon. Stepping up when Ferrin began to use Ice, Sasha raised her free hand, adding her own encasement of ice to whatever it was that he was doing. "Ice make: Dragon lance!" A great lance appeared in her hand, giving no animalistic appearance, but she held it at the ready. What she was going to do with it, she didn't know, but... it seemed right.





Making sure to keep her hold on Jasmine, keeping the girl moving, Penny slowed at the girls shouted words. She looked up as the dragon passed them, holding her breath. Her heart was beating hard in her chest, and all she could think of was keeping Jasmine safe. But how could she, when there was dragons crawling over the island?

She couldn't fail Jasmine... she couldn't let the girl down... she wouldn't lose, this time. The roar, and sound of fighting just barely reached her ears. The others were fighting... they couldn't lead this dragon to them, even if it wasn't strictly following them. Penny slowed, pressing against a tree, making sure that she was still in front of Jasmine as she watched the dragon.

"We can't run... "

She might not be a dragon slayer, but she was still powerful, and right then she had something to fight for. She had to protect Jasmine. Up above, Ignatius stopped moving as well, his gaze not on the Dragon, but on Penny.

Gathering her strength, Penny choose not her Phoenix slayer magic, but her fire magic to attract the attention of the dragon. A large ball of fire appeared in her hand, and she shot it towards the dragon, and it was then that something caught her sight. The Dragon appeared to be injured. Whether its long induced slumber, or its wakening, this Dragon was injured. It was, hopefully, weakened. She didn't let that hope rule her as she continued to gather her power, her Phoenix Fire beginning to once more cover her body and she let out a lament.

Those on the island, those she cared about, those she knew were fighting their own battle would feel their own strength surge, but Penny focused the song on herself and Jasmine. She had to make sure that Jasmine could escape, if she needed to. She had to. If she died here... well, the one good thing she could ensure was that Jasmine had a chance.
"Then go." Sasha said to Ariel, keeping her eyes on the dragon. Was it moving? Ever so slowly, she was sure it's lifted food was moving to the ground. It was definetely lower to the ground then it had been. A little annoyed at Ashlyn, Sasha, "I wasn't screaming because I was afraid, but because I didn't know how to protect everyone."

She turned her attention back to the dragon, the others, making sure that they were heading away from the dragon at least.

"I don't fall, F-Ferrin." Patrick said, as he shifted where he stood, his gaze on the dragon and drawing a deep breath, gathering his magic, he poured more power into the spell, holding the dragon where it stood. "No. You must stay with your slayer, Exceed. Keep her safe." He absolutely refused to let anyone carry him, maintaining eye contact on the dragon, he started to walk backwards, his steps sure as he did so. He did not seem to need a guide as he walked along. "Whatever you're doing, please hurry." He said softly as he realised Ferrin was throwing spells around.

He truly wasn't certain of how much longer he could hold the dragon for, it was already taking more magic than he had first thought. He wasn't about to admit it, however.

When everyone was following Ferrin and Marvis, Sasha started after them, making sure that Patrick stayed behind her.





Ignatius shoved Rajah ahead of him, making sure the little Exceed was moving away from the dragon before following. He did his best to stay behind her, to protect her if need be. His gaze swept over the land, and he shouted down below to Penny and Jasmine, "Look's like there's a large group on the other side of the island." He decided not to mention the dragon that they, too, were running from. He figured that there was more safety in numebrs. Plus, he was sure that there was another Exceed there. More slayers.

Penny kept Jasmine up as much as she could, keeping ahold of the younger girl's hand so she could pull her back up as needed. She couldn't believe she was here, doing this... that she had dragged Jasmine into this mess. She was meant to protect the girl... and instead she was having her run from dragons, on a clearly unstable island. She knew Jasmine was capable, but she didn't know what she was doing...

At Ignatius's shouted words, Penny sighed wearily. Perfect. Not sure how big the island was, but knowing that it was big, Penny didn't know how far they could run. And she couldn't take to the air. Feel more and more frustrated by the moment, Penny continued to urge Jasmine to run, feeling the tremours as more dragon's came to the surface, the roars...

"Not much further... "

"Amaya!" Ignoring the grip Ferrin had on her, Sasha's voice broke through the commotion like shattering glass. "You don't need to be a slayer to stop a dragon, but that is besides the point! You are not in charge here! I told you to stand back! Like Ferrin said, for the moment it is best to retreat!" They had no idea if there would be other dragons coming, they couldn't stop to fight when if they did, another might be coming to bite them in the behind.

She should have expected this... Shifting, her grip on her staff increasing, Sasha sought to make sure everyone else was retreating to, hopefully, safety. Patrick's voice reached her ears, responding to Ferrin's question.

"I haven't been carried since I was found in the rubble of my home, I assure you Old Man, I can walk and maintain the spell." There was no malice in Patrick's voice, indeed he seemed almost reminiscent, his voice soft but determined. "I was raised to never give up. By both my biological and adoptive parents." He seemed quite proud, saying that and Sasha started to look back to him, curious when something caught her eye.

A scream rent the air before she realised it was her own and she flung up her free hand, the ice wall forming and rising high in the air. The flame passed through it and over the group harmlessly- the illusion disappearing almost as soon as it had appeared, the dragon- a twin to the one currently frozen in time- that had conjured the flame disappearing as well, the people that had been there also fading from assistance.

"Hurry." Patrick said, his voice a little breathless now.

"The island remembers." Marvis said sadly, "Come. This way... we'll avoid the waking Dragons, for now."

Sasha sheepishly let the wall fall, breathing out with slight relief as she did so. She couldn't believe that she had screamed... Shaking her head, she urged Ferrin to go ahead, "Lead them, they can't see her, I'll make sure everyone is following."

Relieved that Jasmine didn't seem hurt, and that she wasn't hysterically at least at the moment. The danger, even the possibility of it, was simply too much around them to have to worry about calming Jasmine. "Shhh. It's okay, Jaz. Concentrate on me, okay? That's all you can do." Penny shifted her grip, and it took her a few moments to bring forth the healing song, knowing that the young slayer was probably being assaulted by everything around them. "I've got you, Jaz."

As Jasmine tensed, Penny glanced about them, and when she jumped so hard, Penny had to secure her grip on the girl. "Yes. Dragons." Penny said softly, "Don't worry. I'll be with you. Ever step of the way, Jasmine." She said, as she began to walk. They couldn't stay where they were, like sitting ducks. "come on, stay close." She told all of them, glancing to the exceeds, pleased to see that both were following her orders.

In moments though, she found herself crouching around Jasmine as the ground shook, and a roar shattered the silence in the air. It was incredibly close, and Penny cursed, shifting so she had her back to Jasmine, glancing every which way. Almost at once, Ignatius was by her side, looking around behind them. The Exceed had a determined look on his features, his wings beating smoothly as he searched. "Rajah, don't go running off." He said, his done indicating he would not tolerate her disappearing on him.

Another roar broke the air, and a shadow fell over them, and a large figure appeared. The black dragon didn't seem to notice them. For how long, she wasn't too sure. As the sun glinted off the dragon's scaled body, she saw that it wasn't truly black, but a dark slate grey. Its scales seemed hard as iron, and Penny knew she didn't want to go up against it. Not alone.

"Run, Jasmine." Penny said softly, as the ground shook again and she could see trees moving, shaking and falling. There was clearly more than one Dragon on the island awake. Magic swam around them, and Penny could imagine that it was thick... shaking her head, she kept her gaze on the dragon, ready to take to the air. "Ignatius, see if you can find the others. Take Rajah. Look for a large group, a ship. Jasmine." Not waiting to see if the Exceeds listened to her, Penny turned, grabbing Jasmine's arm once more and starting to run, pushing the girl ahead of her.

Elsewhere, she could hear fainter roars, and all she could think of was getting to the others. Safety in numbers, but also she was determined to make sure that Sasha was okay.





The red dragon, glittering like a gem, towered over Patrick, and those he was trying to stop. As the shadow fell over him, Patrick turned as if he was merely looking at a sculpture. A clap like thunder echoed around them, and the Dragon froze in midstep. "I can't hold him long, get back." He said calmly, the dragon frozen in time in front of him.

"Don't freak out!" Sasha shouted, her voice clear and loud, gripping her ice staff, "No one run off!" The appearance of the dragon was more than a little terrifying, But Sasha was not going to let that show. Gathering her strength, she stepped forward, looking around at everyone else.
@Lunarlord34
Penny had expected to not arrive on the island. She had known that that wouldn’t be possible, that they would be dumped just about anywhere near the island. She had hoped they would land on the ship the others were taking, but evidently not. Keeping a secure hold on Jasmine, Penny ignored her screaming for the moment. The girl would settle down soon, she knew.

Looking around for both Exceeds, not even sure why she was worried about them except that they were her responsibility right then. Ignatius was frantically searching for the lost Rajah and Penny wondered if the small exceed had gotten lost in the transition.

She was just wondering if she’d have to go back and search for the annoying little creature when Rajah shot out the water, evidently trying to carry and eat as much fish as she could. Giving a soft sigh as Ignatius shot towards the small Exceed, he took one of the fish and cast Rajah a look as if to dare her to say something about it. He put it away for later, most likely a snack for Rajah.

Looking about them, Penny could see the island nearby- a short flight away. It looked to her as if they had simply been dumped on the very edge of the islands protection. She saw no sign of the ship the others had taken, and a fear gripped her. Had something happened to them along the way?

Only one way to find out.

”Lets go.” she called to the Exceeds, before starting towards the island. She held her breath a moment, but it seemed nothing had happened to them. The others must be on the island, then. Perhaps they had arrived on a different side. It did not take her long to reach the island and she landed, making sure that she didn’t jostle Jasmine.

She listened intently, still keeping a hold of Jasmine.
Sasha was a patient person. But even she seemed to be growing a little agitated at the continued arguing. She had told them what they were going to do, and she was going to stick with it. She was going to make sure everyone came back alive. Closing her eyes a moment, she let out a slow breath. “No.” She said sternly to Amaya and Cecilia. “If you can’t follow my orders, then you shouldn’t be here. I don’t want anyone going off- Patrick, maybe go get Karn- alone. It’s not just me being bossy, I want everyone to return home safely. If you go off alone and in the air, we can’t help you easily. You will stay with us.”

She turned away, looking towards Ferrin. She was unsurprised to see that Patrick had disappeared while she was speaking. She watched Ferrin and Mavis for a moment, before she broke into giggles. She could well imagine what everyone else saw, Ferrin speaking to himself, calling the thin air names. “He’s not crazy- well no more than usual. He’s speaking with Mavis, she can generally only be seen by those of Fairy tail descent.” She explained, mirth in her voice.

She raised her voice, “Ferrin? Mavis? You’re concerning the others.”




Michael looked up at Prince. He had long since got use to Prince’s height-it was rare that someone would make him feel small, but somehow Prince did. And despite the fact he knew that Prince could look after himself, Michael couldn’t help but feel a need to protect him. Prince wasn’t really that impulsive, but he also didn’t seem to be aware of the dangers around them.

“Yes... the fun stuff. But there’s the fighting too.” He pointed out, for a brief few seconds his stutter seemed to disappear, only to return as he continued to speak, “I d-dont’t even know w-w-why I’m h-here,,, “




Patrick nodded as Sasha addressed him, and with a small burst of energy, he seemed to be the only thing moving as he froze time for a few seconds. He took ever second of that to hastily catch up to the rambunctious Karn. Quite calmly, he stopped in front of him.

Time resumed.

“Halt.” He rose a hand up, prepared to stop Karn should it be needed.




Penny gathered what they would need, but choice to travel light. She paid to have their things taken to the guild hall, and once she was satisfied, she took out a Lacrima from the pack that held what little she was taking. It glowed with a light gray smoke, the power within it making the small glass ball seem pleasantly warm.

“Okay everyone, gather round.” She said, looking to the two exceeds. What she was meant to do with them, she didn’t know. They seemed to just assume that they were coming and that was that. She knew some slayers had exceeds, but she had never heard of a Phoenix Slayer having one. She could understand Jasmine having one...

Sighing softly, she decided to face that problem later, and allow the exceed to come with them. Although she would be adamant that they would not get close to the fighting, who knew what they would do?

“Let’s go.”

As soon as everyone was gathered around, Penny made sure to keep ahold of Jasmine, not wanting to be parted should something happen. Her hold was secure but gently, and when she was satisfied she activated the Lacrima, hoping that this would work.

Immediately the ocean air assaulted her senses and she knew something was wrong. “Jasmine!” Keeping her hold on the younger girl, Penny let her flames envelope her, catching them both just before they could crash into the water. She shot into the air, glancing about them.

“Rajah!” Ignatius shouted as he hovered in the air, searching for the small exceed.

Actually.... given the fact that it has been twenty years since magic has started to come back and the council before the current council was corrupt.... it does fit. It would certainly be something my evil kalinda (I have a good version of her too) would do. So... I think its okay.

But yes, I do agree with the rest of that for Alexander

As for Alvina, I'm willing to give anyoen a go, to improve their writing and test themselves. I know I myself have come forward in leaps in bounds by pushing myself, I can certainly do evil and.... I was trying to thin of a way to write this without swearing, but dickheads/assholes well now, particularly in the last eight months or so of developing my skills there. So, I'm content with Alvina.

Tristen is fine.

I might have to com eback to Devin, as well as Nina.
