Oh! and the spell incantations i use are either from or based off of the show Slayers. and with that! ON-WITH-THE-FIC!

Prologue

Harry Potter, a young and innocent boy, was not like the other boys in his neighborhood. Nor was he like his over sized Cousin. Harry had a gift, the gift of Magic. But he wasn't the only one, oh no. The world was filled with wizards and witches, but they hid themselves form those who couldn't use magic as they could. True there were a few exceptions to the rule. People born to non-magical families with the gift, sadly this was not the case for little Harry Potter. Harry was an Orphan, his mother and father had died two years before, leaving him all alone. Even if he did live with his mothers sister and her atrocious husband. They were not really family. Petunia Dursley nee' Evans was a spiteful and vindictive woman whom had always been jealous of her sister who possessed magic where she had none. This jealousy translated over to all those who had the gift. She called them freaks, abnormal, or monsters. This, unfortunately, included little six year old Harry Potter. Whenever something strange happened he was always blamed. Tonight was the worst yet.

His cousin had thrown a tantrum when his Parents would not give him cake until he had finished his meal. So he threw a wad of gooey mashed potatoes into the back of his mothers head. Yet was he reprimanded? Did the obviously spoiled child get sent to bed without dessert as punishment. No, Harry was blamed, Harry was unceremoniously picked up from the table dragged screaming to the cupboard under the stairs and tossed inside, his pleas, whimpers, and sobs ignored. The cupboard was his his room. His Aunt and uncle would never waist any 'useful' space on him. And so here he sat, cradling his injured arm and wishing he was with his Mommy and Daddy. Little did he know that the events of that evening did not go unnoticed.

In the realm of death two Woman stood and watched the events unfold.

"How could they do this to him?" asked Lily Potter Nee Evans, Harry's Mother.

"This is unacceptable!" said the other. She wore a long white robe fastened with a rope made of pure moonlight. The left shoulder of her robe was fastened with a silver and gold pin depicting a Triple Crescent. This was the Goddess Hecate Goddess of Pathways and Mother of all magic.

"Those Fools, Did they learn absolutely nothing from there experience with Tom! If this kind of childhood doesn't break him then it will turn him!." The Goddess ranted.

The magical world was in chaos and Chaos himself had become concerned with the situation.

Chaos was the eldest of the Gods, and by far the most powerful. He understood that for life to exist, there had to be balance. A little chaos here and there was fine. But the magical world was pushing the envelope too far. Before Lily and James died, Hecate had sought to save the magical world she had created. so decided to create a savior, she bestowed a piece of her own essence, into the unborn child of those she deemed worthy of her favor. Chaos followed her example and did the same for him. Now, one would think that the mortals would send the boy who was 'Prophosized' to save them to a loving and nurturing home after he was orphaned, not so. Instead they sent him there, to a non-magical home where he was mistreated because of his magic. And then they all but forgot about him unless it convenient. Chaos had sensed the disturbance with the boy first and alerted Hecate. Since it was the magical world's fault it was her job to deal with it. If Chaos tried, he'd end up destroying the Planet.

"What are we going to do?" Lily asked worried about her Son.

"Well, if nothing else this proves that this generation is beyond saving at this point. Their all too old to change there way's and I will not let them corrupt the next generation with their bigotry and propaganda. No, all that's left to do is start over."

"Start over?"

"Indeed, first I'll remove the children to one of my more secure realms...perhaps Atlantis, then I'll remove those that remains magic. Let them flounder without it for a few centuries before I send the children back, fully trained and ready to start anew."

"But, won't that cause more chaos?" Lily asked.

"Yes, but it is chaos they can handle themselves. The magic they wield is what makes this chaos so dangerous. Without it...it's just allot of paper work."

"I see..."

"The real problem is Harry."

"What do you mean?"

"Because of who Harry is connected to, namely myself and HIM. He can't exist in one of my realms. He has to exist somewhere where time flows normally." Hecate explained waving her hand at the screen and a lot of different images popped up.

In one image it showed a pink haired boy fighting a black haired boy who was half Naked. Another showed a group of little people with big feet walking around tending fields and seemingly living in peace. Another image showed a young man working in what appeared to be a fast-food restaurant.

There were a great many, some of them seemed outrageous while others seemed tame.

"What are these?" Lily asked stunned as she watched an image of a child with a tail fight an old man in what looked to be some kind of Martial arts tournament. The boy seemed familiar somehow.

"These are the many different realms within the Twelve Realities." Hecate explained smiling at the image.

"Twelve?"

"There are Twelve Realities in all. Each one filled with an endless stream of possibilities. Different time streams, and dimensions. It's very complicated, though I must say I'm happy to see James doing so well."

"What?" Lily asked confused. James had opted for reincarnation, so she had no idea what had happened to him.

"The boy with the tail, that's James." Hecate said with a chuckle.

"Oh, well I see he's retained that endless amount of energy of his." Lily said sounding exhausted.

Hecate just chuckled a bit more, before she summoned an image to her. "Ah, now this would be perfect, it's from the 6th reality." she said summoning the picture from before with the two boys who were fighting. though now it looked like the fight had been broken up by a red head.

"Why this one?"

"Because he will find the family he desires there, and he will be able to aid this Realm in many ways with his connection to the gods." she explained snapping her fingers.

Harry suddenly disappeared from the image of the cabinet and reappeared in a flash of light between the three pre-teens in the other.

"There, it's done. Chaos will handle the rest. it's out of our hands now." with that she waved her hand and the images vanished.

Hecate turned and walked away with Lilly hot on her heals. she had allot of work to do.

_._._._({[/|\]})_._._._

Natsu, Grey, and Erza were rather confused when a young crying child suddenly appeared in the middle of their fight in what seemed like a flash of Golden light. Thankfully, Erza was mature enough to recognize that the Child was frightened and therefore should be handled gently.

"Hello there little one." she said softly kneeling in front of the sniffling child. "What's you'er name?"

"H-Hauri..." he said with another sniff. (he wasn't experienced enough with speaking to say it correctly so this is how it is spelled an pronounced through the story.)

"Hello there Hauri," she said with a smile. "My name is Erza, this is Natsu, and Grey. where are you're parents?" she introduced gesturing in kind.

Hauri just shook his head that he didn't know. but then a voice seemed to sound from the back of his head. it told him that the answer could be found on his back. and so he tried pointing on his back.

"Is there something on you're back?" She asked turning him around. she noted that the clothes he was wearing were warn and threadbare.

there was nothing immediately eye catching at first glance. so, careful not to startle Hauri, she lifted his shirt and saw something strange. it was a birthmark of some sort. It was a Circle within a triangle with a line dissecting the whole thing. maybe it was a family symbol? some of the older families in Fiore still did that, though she thought that didn't happen until the individual was in their teens.

"Why don't we take him to see Gramps. he'll know what to do." Grey suggested.

With no better ideas Erza agreed.

_._._._({[/|\]})_._._._

Later that night Hauri fell into a fitful sleep in the guild house under the watchful eye of master MArkarov who had recognized the sighns of abuse. but it was in young Hauri's mind that things were about to turn in his favor.

Hauri was dreaming he was being chased by his Uncle for using his 'Freakishness' again. when suddenly there was a warm darkness around him. and a strong voice that seemed so come from everywhere and had many different tones.

"LEAVE THE CHILD MARES OF THE NIGHT! HE IS UNDER MY PROTECTION!" suddenly Hauri watched as Vernon changed into some kind of a black horse with ruby red eyes. it seemed to bow to the darkness before vanishing.

"You are safe now child." it spoke more softly to him, and Hauri had the sensation of arms wrapping around him to hold him. a curious thing as he had no memory of such a thing happening before.

"Wh-Who are you?" Hauri asked his voice cracking slightly.

"I have many names... I would like it...if you called me Father..." the voice answered sounding unsure.

"F-Fatha'?" Hauri asked.

"I have created much...whole dimensions...and I have many whom I could call my children...but few have ever earned my affections...you little one, have done so without even trying. for this reason I would like to consider myself you're Father. though I will not be able to speak to you again after this."

"Why?"

"Rules...rules I made for everyone's safety. now listen, this world is very different from the one you lived in before. you needn't worry about being mistreated here, but you will need power to live here. and so I grant to you the gift of Master Magic. with it all caster type magic is yours to master when you see it. so long as it does not change you're body on a fundamental level. but be warned my Son, this also means you cannot use Holder type magic. Four Spells are yours and yours alone. use them well. when you are older you will come to understand you're limits. untill then. know that you are loved. Know I will always be watching over you."

With that Hauri suddenly awoke startled and feeling like a weight had been lifted from his shoulders. Chaos had taken Voldermort's Soul Piece.

Chapter One

A seventeen year old Hauri Yawned as he made his way back into the town of Magnolia. At the age of Thirteen Hauri had been promoted to S-Class along side Erza who was almost two years older than him, making him the youngest S-class Wizard ever. Since then he had Taken to Traveling on his own and doing Missions Solo. Just as his Father, as he called the voice that had spoken to him all those years ago, had said, he learned the Limits of his Magic. His Master Magic was Similar to something he had heard of called Memory Make, but more powerful, if a bit more restricting. with Master Magic he could Master any form of Caster Magic regardless of it's Element or type, provided that it did not alter the body on a Fundamental Level. meaning that Slayer Magic was right out. he also couldn't use Holder magic. attempting to do so actually caused him great pain. The four Spells he was given were another thing. They were known as the Slave Spells. Dagon, Giga, Ragna, and Magna. he had only used Magna, a spell that allowed him to cast dozens of spells at once, and Dragon, a spell that sent out a wave of pure magic with enough force to supposedly defeat a dragon. he had never needed to use the other two. Ragna turned his magic into a weapon that suited his personality, but meant he couldn't use any other magic aside from the weapons while it was there. Giga was...well it was strong. Master Makarov had thought it was a good idea to hide the full extent of his power, just in case. and so he generally stuck with only one major castor type magic. Bubble Magic. not that he didn't have others he used, such as Telepathy and Telekinesis. and also his beast speaking ability, which he could only assume was also a gift from his father as he had not gained that from another Wizard. It allowed him to speak to animals...well, the ones that didn't speak a human language unlike Happy.

This last Mission had been a bit of a dud. It was a bounty hunter mission for a mass murderer called Maloes the Beastly. Well, Maloes the Beastly, was now Maloes the neutered. Hauri wasn't a very violent person, but it would be nice to face someone who could push him at least push him a little bit. at least he got a new outfit out of it. he was wearing a Green leather trench coat with a black mesh shirt underneath. with black pants and boots. his waist length hair was pulled into a lose ponytail that fell down the middle of his back. over his right shoulder he had his satchel slung where he kept his essentials. he had the ability to use requip, but some things he preferred to have there with him.

looking over to his left he was surprised to see Erza, Grey, Happy and Natsu walking with some blond girl.

"Hey guys!" he called waving.

Natsu looked over and smiled. "It's Hauri!" he said before running over with happy close behind him.

Both Grey and Erza looked over and were pleasantly surprised to see him. while Lucy just looked confused.

"Who's that?" she asked pointing over to where Natsu was picking Hauri up in a tight hug and spinning him around.

"Hauri Emeraldis. Another Member of our guild. He's been away for a while traveling. I'm kind of surprised he's back." Erza explained as Natsu led Hauri over.

"Why does that name sound familiar?...wait a sec! he was in Sorcerer Weekly's most eligible Wizard section!" Lucy exclaimed.

"Yeah I heard they included me in that list...it's such a pain having to duck women left and right now because of it. especially when i'm spoken for." Hauri said coming over to her making her jump.

"I'm Hauri, Natsu said you're new to the Guild. Welcome to the Family." he said holding out his hand. she noticed absently his mark was dark green and on the left side of his neck.

"Lucy." she said with a smile shaking his hand.

"Good to meet you. So, you all coming back from you're own jobs or something?"

"Actually," Erza said with a fond smile. "we formed a team."

"Oh well thats gre-wait..." Hauri cut off as he looked at all of them. "You, Natsu, and Grey...on the same team?..."

"Yes."

here he looked towards Lucy with a sad expression. "I am so sorry..."

"Whats that supposed to mean?" Grey asked

"Grey, you're Clothes." Hauri pointed out.

"Aw crap! why does this keep happening?"

They all shared a laugh at that and made their way towards the Guild Hall. none of them had expected to find the Guild being used as a giant Pin Cushion.

"What happened to the Guild?" Lucy asked. Mira answered coming up from the basement.

"It was Phantom..."

"Phantom did this?" Natsu questioned with anger plain in his voice.

"Natsu, don't even think about it. you know as well as I do that Guilds are forbidden from directly engaging in combat outside of jobs." Hauri said clipping him upside the head for good measure. "Was anyone hurt Mira?"

"No thankfully, the Hall was empty when it was attacked. we're using the basement as our Base of Operations for now." she explained.

after they were led downstairs and Makarov told the others to just ignore Phantoms taunts. Hauri approached him.

"Ho Ho! You're back! how'd the mission go?" Their diminutive Guild Master asked looking every bit the tottering old drunk.

"The same as all the others." Hauri said, excepting a tankard from Mira. "you want to tell me why Jose' chose now to start provoking a fight with us?"

"Honestly, I have no idea." The Master said taking a swig of his Ale. "He's always been an ambitious little shit, but I didn't think he would go this far..."

"Well," Hauri said sipping his own drink, melon soda, thank you Mira. "Just so long as he doesn't take it any farther. I'm willing to ignore this, but..." here he put down his Soda to look at the Master more fully. "If any member of the guild is hurt because of him, I will end him Master." Hauri said anger very obvious in his emerald green eyes for which he was named Emeraldis.

"On that we can agree." Makarov said clinking his Tankard with Hauri's own.

_._._._({[/|\]})_._._._

The next morning, Hauri woke up with a feeling of dread. he got dressed and quickly made his way to the guild Hall. Master Makarov wasn't wearing his usual Orange outfit he wore to make others laugh. No, now he wore this vestments as one of the ten Wizard Saints.

"Whats going on?" he asked once he got close enough.

"Levi and the others are missing." Cana said looking overly sober at the moment.

"Well, maybe they took a job?"

"They didn't say anything to the Master, you know Levi would never leave without saying something."

Before he could respond Laki came in huffing like she had just run a marathon.

"Levi...Park...must..." with no further prompting they made their way to the park. Makarov and Hauri at the front. when they got there Lucy and her team were already there. All of them staring at team shadow gear hanging from the tree, utterly battered and the phantom symbol drawn on Levi's stomach.

"Master..." Erza said as she sensed their approach.

"I can take our Guild Hall being reduced to rubble..." he said his face hidden in shadow and Hauri knew he was straining not to go crazy right there. "But I will not allow Harm to come to my Children without taking REVENGE!" this was punctuated when his staff broke by the sheer force of his grip alone. "We have no choice but to go to war.

_._._._({[/|\]})_._._._

In The town of Oak Town one of the Largest branches of the Phantom lord Guild stands towering over all the other buildings.

"Come on we can't let Garjeel have all the fun!" said one Phantom wizard to his team mate.

"Right, we got ta' try picking off a couple Fairy wimps ourselves."

but just before they could make it out there was an explosion that sent them flying back across the Hall and into the far wall. when the smoke cleared all of the Phantom Wizards within saw Fairy tail standing there.

"Fairy Tail's has come calling!" Master Makarov shouted and so the fight began.

Hauri made quick work of sending out his green gas bubbles that were then ignited by Natsu's Flames causing explosions throughout the Guild Hall. those who were dumb enough to try and attack him head on were either dispatched physically or by one of his Stone Bubbles, that were literally bubbles made of stone.

"Hauri, Erza," Their master called to them drawing their attention. "I leave things here in you're hands. I'm going to deal with Jose'."

"Understood Master." Erza said while Hauri just nodded and went back to decimating the enemy forces.

It was a few minuets after that Hauri sensed something rather disconcerting, their Masters magic disappearing. it didn't make sense and it drew his attention to the ceiling above just in time to see a fast falling object. he recognized the cape easily enough and used his Bubble Magic: Cushion To break his Guild Master's was wrong. Makarov looked near death and his magical energy was near non existent. coming to the same conclusion as he Erza gave the order to retreat while he rushed the Master out of there.

_._._._({[/|\]})_._._._

The retreat was a hard pill to swallow, but it was a necessary one. Their Moral was at an all time low, and the Master was to weak to face anything right now. It didn't take long for Porlyusica to identify the spell, and how to fix it. Thankfully, Hauri knew how to get in touch with Mystogan, and had him go about the task of collecting the Master's scattered magic, and to take out any Phantom Lord morons along the way.

The fact that Lucy had been the main target all along was a little surprising. though it didn't surprise him that Jose' was just using it as an excuse to have a go at them. Lucy was a Heartfilia, Hauri had taken missions posted by the Heartfilia Family before, and had even met her Father once. Though, he never once mentioned having a Daughter. this made him wary, he absolutely could not stand people who put their jobs and money over their Family. Jude Heartfilia had just made it onto his shit list.

letting out a sigh he pushed those thoughts from his mind as he made his way passed his fellow Guild members to the back.

"Good news! I got in touch with-"Hauri said walking into the back room where Cana and Mira were only to stop when he heard Laxus's voice.

"Tell her if she agree's to be my Woman I'll help her!" said the image of the Lighting Mage in the Lacrima laughing.

"Is that so..." Hauri said trailing off and coming to face the Lacrima.

Laxus paled. "H-Hauri? I thought you were-"

"I finished my Job early, you jerk." Hauri said Cutting him off and making Laxus sweat. "I want you here, NOW." He ground out through clenched teeth furious.

"B-B-But Baby I-"

"Don't you Baby me!" Hauri cut him off sounding like a scolding parent for a moment. "You get you're perky ass back here now! Or else, you can explain to Freed why we aren't having an Anniversary dinner this year because you pissed me off." Hauri countered, eye's blazing with white hot fury ignoring the snort from Cana for the Perky ass comment.

He, Laxus and Freed were in a strange triangle relationship. Hauri loved both of them as Freed did he and Laxus. Laxus, although he would never admit it about Freed, loved both of them as well and Hauri knew it. That was probably why it took the two of them so long to get off their asses and ask him out the year before last. Ironically they asked him out at the same time. The three of them were always busy, but they set certain dates aside for each other with out question. The biggest of which was their Anniversary, that Freed was always adamant about. He could be really scary when it came to that particular subject too.

He would have tried to call Freed and the others, but they were on a high risk job at the moment and attempting to contact them could put them in danger.

Behind Hauri, Mira and Cana watched in utter fascination as Laxus floundered under the fury of his boyfriend. No one else could get Laxus this kind of worked up, not even the Master could.

"Hauri, the truth is, I can't get there any sooner than a week, and that's if I lightning jump the whole way." Laxus said pleadingly.

"Well, why the hell didn't you just say that!"

"I-I was only kidding..." Laxus defended weakly.

"Well then... tell me if I'm kidding. Sex ban for the next six months." he said levelly with absolutely no emotion at all in his voice.

"W-What?! Hauri!" he exclaimed blushing, but looking genuinely afraid.

"You want to go for eight? Get moving! If you're not here in Seven days that ban goes into effect!" he snarled then smashed the Lacrima with his fist.

"Jerk..." he said glaring at the pieces.

"It never ceases to amaze me how he acts with you." Mira said with a small fond smile. for all his Faults, Laxus did most definitely love Hauri.

"Yeah, well I wasn't kidding, and he know's it. He better have chocolates for me-" he was suddenly cutoff by vibrations running through the earth beneath them.

"What the-" he was Cut off when Macao came to get them telling them there was something going on outside.

Outside they found a giant Guild Hall making it's way towards them on massive mechanical legs. they all watched in trepidation as the thing stopped about a quarter mile from the shore and their Guild Hall. suddenly a Cannon barrek appeared out of the Mobile guild and aimed it's self at them. HAuri saw Erza move and requip her Adamantine Armor.

"Erza No!" Natsu called out.

"Stay back! I'll handle this!" she said

"Bubble Magic: Bubble Prison!" Hauri called out effectively trapping her in one of his pink bubbles.

"Hauri what are you-"

"You need to be here!" he ground out at her. "I'll handle the cannon. you keep up the Moral!" he said and moved her back in the bubble. Then took her place at the front.

"What are you going to do?" Grey asked

In answer he took off his leather coat and tossed it on the ground, then held his hands out to either side, before speaking.

Darkness beyond Twilight,

Crimson beyond the blood that flows,

Suddenly the wind picked up and the air felt heavy as he spoke and everyone watched in stunned silence as he continued to chant. Moving his arms in a circle in front of him creating a strange magic Circle they had never seen before.

Buried in the stream of time,

is where you're power Grows,

In the fortress of Phantom Lord they could see the magic swirling onto a single point. the translucent image of something beast like began to appear.

"Sir systems are at 95%"

Back on the shore Natsu stared at the beast like image with a knowing look of amazement, it was a dragon.

I pledge my self to conquer,

All the foes that stand

with this gift bestowed in my unworthy hand,

"We are ready to fire on you're command Sir!" said one of the Mages in front of Jose'.

Let the Fools who stand before me be destroyed by the power you and I posses!

"Fire." Jose said without hesitation.

The Cannon Fired, it's magical blast sailing towards them. but still Hauri did not move. Instead, he and the Dragon image seemed to act as one as he took a deep breath

"DRAGON SLAVE!" He bellowed.

Whether it came from Hauri, or his conjured Dragon, they didn't know. But a massive blast of raw magical energy went sailing clean into the cannons shot, meeting it half way.

the two energies fought for dominance for a moment before exploding outwards. the backlash sent Hauri flying back, but Natsu was quick to catch him before he could get hurt.

it also managed to damage some of the Cannons systems, though sadly not beyond repair.

Hauri was on the Ground now Panting and covered in sweat. That was only the second time he had used that spell. He took it as a good sign that this time he was at least still conscious.

"Hauri..."Natsu said looking utterly confused and a little hurt.

"I know what you're thinking Natsu, but I'm not a Dragon slayer." Hauri said taking great gulps of air.

"But-"

suddenly Hauri fell over and Natsu had to stoop to catch him before his face hit the ground.

"Thanks...channeling that much energy, really takes allot outta m-"

"Attention Fairy Tail!" Came the voice of Master Jose' from his Base, cutting off Hauri. "You have Fifteen minuets to hand over Lucy Heartfilia, before we fire the cannon again!"

"Their gonna fire that thing again?"

"How are supposed to fight something like that?"

"We can't just hand Lucy over to those bastards!"

"Everyone! calm down!" Hauri called, then coughed from the exertion. "This is just a ploy to buy them time. That backlash had ambient magic in it. They probably can't fire again for another fifteen minuets. which means we need to make sure it stays bro-"

"What's that!" Laki said pointing to the sky over the Phantom Guild Hall where a dark cloud seemed to be moving from said Hall straight towards them.

"Shades...They won't be very strong, but a right pain to kill. whatever you do, don't touch them..." Hauri said weakly. he really needed a minuet to recuperate after that spell.

Erza took charge. Natsu was sent to deal with the destruction of the cannon. Nab was set to be Hauri's body guard, whilst Erza dealt with the Shades. At some point he lost consciousness.

_._._._({[/|\]})_._._._

When Hauri woke up, he was in Porlyusica's house. he had been there enough times when he was younger that he recognized it easily enough. Sitting up, felt his back crack all the way down his spine. a sure sign he had been out for well over twenty four hours. as soon as he was sitting up, he felt a sharp pain to the back of his head that forced him to hold it in his hands. looking over his shoulder, he saw Porlyusica standing there with her hand poised in a position that showed she had been the one to smack him.

"Of all the hair brained nonsense that you all get up to, I honestly thought you had a bit more sense than this." she said moving back over to her table to start mixing a remedy.

"What was I supposed to do? Let the blast hit them? Let Erza take the hit so she was both hurt and weakened? This was the best course of action." Hauri tried to defend himself, but was ultimately ignored by the medic.

Letting out a sigh he stood and made his way to the bathroom to freshen up a bit. when he came out Porlyusica was still working on some remedy or another. Shaking his head fondly at her, he found his shoes and made his way towards the door.

"You know, you can claim to hate humans all you want," He said turning to face her back when he got to the door. "but if you really didn't care, you wouldn't have taken care of me. let alone smack me for doing something dangerous." and with that he stepped out the door and left. He only took a single step before he heard the thud of one of her heavier tomes hitting the door.

Letting out a chuckle, he started making his way towards the Guild Hall. Stopping every now and then to stretch his stiff muscles. when he finally got there, he saw that the Hall had been destroyed in the battle and it looked like the clean up had started. unfortunately, it seemed to have been halted by...

"Oh great...the Rune Knights..." he said already feeling a head ache coming on.

Sure enough, as soon as they saw him, they pulled him in and started questioning him. after about three rounds of the same damn questions. one of the Councils messengers showed up saying he was being summoned by the Council. Now he was worried. why were they summoning him? The master he understood, but why him? the trip took almost three hours, and boy did he ever hate long quiet rides, sheesh! When they finally got to the designated meeting place for the Council he met both Master Makarov and at the front gate.

"Master, . it's good to see you both."

"And you, it's good to see you recovered from that exhaustion."

"Well..." he trailed off as he tried to avoid his masters glare. "Any idea why I was summoned?"

"Come inside, there is much to discuss." Yajima said leading them inside.

Hauri had to admit, if he had been expecting anything to come out of this, it was not to be labeled as Jose's replacement as one of the ten Wizard saints. Apparently Word got out about the Dragon Slave being cast, then they forced Makarov to spill the beans about it. So, now they understood that he had only been using a fraction of his overall power. Had he used the Giga Slave, he could have obliterated the attack and the Phantom Guild Hall without breaking a sweat. instead he had used one of his weaker spells. and that was saying something about his power. So here he was, being named a Wizard saint. There was no ceremony, or anything like that. He was just told the different responsibilities he would now have, was given the pin and sent off. on the way back, he kept looking at the Pin in his hand, expecting it to just vanish, or tha the would wake up, and discover this was all some very weird dream.

"I suppose congratulations are in order," Makarov said when they got back into Magnolia.

"Master?"

"You are now officially the youngest member of the Ten. Just remember, that pin is more than an honor, it's a target that you will carry for the rest of you're life." the old Guild Master said leveling his gaze at him.

And Hauri could understand that easily enough. Plenty of Dark wizard would jump at the chance to take down one of the Ten Wizard Saints. even one considered the weakest.

Well, one thing was always certain in Fairy tail.

Life was never boring.
