Al Thamen starts to become more and more a threat. Poisoning the minds of the people, leading them on stray paths and managing to harvest in the end black kings for their own agenda. But recently his scouts bring him news of a force in a way much more dangerous at Al Thamen itself is. „Kouen-sama, you asked for us?" is he hearing a trusted voice right now saying to him and with a short nod he gazes at Kougyoku standing right next to Kouha, Koumei and Lady Hakuei. In a way he had wished that even Hakuryū would consider to show up here again, but it looks like he lost this skilled young man to the dark Magi.

„Wendy, stand back, I'll take care of this" is her best friend right now saying to her as she has to watch how how the mage of Lamia Scale fights right now against a real powerful foe. A week ago the dark mage Zeref declared war. So Fairy Tail and all the legalized guilds within this country fight back against the Alvarez Empire. Her friend decided to agree with Third Origin in order to defeat Di Maria. But right after Chelia managed to defeat her with quite a powerful spell they are suddenly sucked in by a vortex right above their heads. Pressing the severly wounded Shalulu against her chest she closes her eyes and she can feel how Chelia holds on to her. Honestly, she doesn't know at all what exactly happens here but as long as her two best friends are with her, she is relieved.

All on his own Hakuryū walks through the vast plains. The encounter with this stranger turned him quite thoughtful.
„Return on the path of light. This kind of life isn't ment at all for you, young dragon"
„Return to the light, where you belong to, young dragon"
,Take it...
the power of the White Dragon I've stolen...'
With a bitter expression resting on his face he looks at his artificial arm and presses his lips together. This man knew more about the way he suffered then Judar was ever able to.
You wanted to know my name? I was once called Rogue, young dragon.
„Rogue" is now voicing in a low tone this name of the stranger and a deep sigh escapes his own lips. There is a lot he wants to know about him. Especially why he decided to help him to return on the path he once walked at the side of his friends Aladdin, Alibaba and Morgiana. Besides, he feels that Belial is finally accepting him since the white rukh are again floating around him.
But the fight against Judar, it seems like it was a test of Belial to see if he's really no longer fallen into depravity. His grip around his Kwan Dao becomes firm and right now he decides to return home. He will talk with Kouen and inform him what he was able to gather on intel while he was under the control of the dark magi. Besides, he has a promise to keep. The promise to stay on the path of light and to never fall into the dark again.
