Prologue
"What is next?" asked the shadow man in a deep, menacing voice. "Let me see, sir," answered another with a crisp, clear and cold female voice. They sat around a large, circular table made of polished night black stone lightly etched with series of runes. Around the table were 9 normal chairs, each carved to the utmost perfection. A shaded figure sat in each. However, there was on one enormous chair that was, if possible, even more intricate than the others. The figure seated in this tenth chair was shaded, like the others, but he was different. The light ran from the man as if terrified of him, creating a lightless, black void surrounding rough outline of the man. Indeed, it seemed as if this void sucked the light and warmth from around him.
The shadow man.
The walls around them, the exact distance between the table and them being four feet, alternated glowing the colors of the rainbow, casting multicolored light on the backs of the chairs. It glowed red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and back to red again. The lady with the icy voice shuffled through a stack of papers marked with runes similar to those on the table. She stopped shuffling. "Sir, the next case appears to be an elimination case," she informed, her brisk words sharpened in a slightly mocking tone. The shadow man leaned forward, as did the other figures. "Really," he mused, half thoughtful and half mocking, as was with the cold-voiced lady.
"Well, tell us," he drawled in a deep rumble. "Who?" The cold-lady shifted her papers and announced in her chilling voice, "Natsu Dragneel." (Somewhere, Natsu sneezed)
A silence, more crushing then before, descended upon the small room. The walls colors shifted to red, to orange, and yellow. A long while passed before someone spoke. It was a new voice; female, like the cold-lady, but entirely different. This voice was gentle and lilting; she possessed a slight musical tone. Indeed, she seemed be singing and talking at the same time. Her voice was higher and instead of being chilling, each word was flooded with warmth.
"That is a name we hear often," she commented in a sing-song way. "I was wondering when he would get shifted up from 'trouble' to 'elimination'." A murmur of agreement rippled through the group. The figure in the chair next to the singer spoke up. She had the same musical tone, and although her voice was slightly lower, it still flooded listeners with warmth. "Is he still in the examination stage, or have we pushed him straight up to shattering?"
"No," replied the cold-lady. Her chilling, mocking voice was a shock after the musical warmth. "He is still in examination." She paused as if to say more, but was interrupted by whispers of surprise that rippled through the room. The shadow man instantly silenced them. "Why is he still in examination?" he demanded, his tone tinged with anger. "He is far too dangerous for us to delay."
The cold-lady shifted the papers again, then explained herself with more than a bit of irritation. "As I was going to say before I was so rudely interrupted, he has not even started examination." Surprise greeted her icy words, but they stayed silent, desperate to hear more. "Examination is to start soon. I am confident in saying it will not last long, as we have seen enough evidence of the threats he poses, in both his reported actions and the tellings. However, it is stated in law that we must give those subjected to elimination a fair examinations. If we did not, word would get out, and we could get into a nasty situation. The examiner will not tarry, for this is too important for us to suffer delays."
"You have chosen an examiner?" questioned the shadow man in a steely voice. The cold-lady nodded. "Yes, and she will double as eliminator." The shadow man paused to muse over her words. After a while, he said, "Do you believe you have made a good choice?" The cold-lady nodded again. "She is skilled." The shadow man seemed to accept this, to the relief of the rest of the figures. "Very well, then," he announced. "Let there be no delay. Fetch the examiner, excuse me, eliminator, and summon the Ks. Let us send her to Earthland, with the elimination case of Natsu Dragneel!"
