Lahar was surprised by what he had just heard and couldn't help but start to laugh loudly. Surely the chairman had to be joking right? This man in a cell was the founder of Tartaros? The older brother of Fairy Tail's founder, Mavis Vermillion? And no matter how powerful any mage is it's impossible to stay alive let alone stay eternally young with only their magic.

"It's quite easy really," the prisoner said interrupting Lahar's laugher. "As long as you stay in a magically induced trance and let your magic sustain your body anyone can survive for long periods of time." The prisoner said "It's also useful when you're all alone and nobody ever comes to visit you… seriously Guran why the hell has no one come to visit me?" he asked

"A powerful seal was placed on this area so no one could ever find it or you," Guran answered

"Oh dear, well at least two people came to visit little old me," the prisoner sighed "Even if I want to kill one of them and I don't even know the other one"

"Oh where are my manners, this man I brought with me is named Lahar, he is the Head Captain of the Custody Enforcement Unit under our newly reformed Magic Council of which I am the chairman of" the chairman said

"Wait, they let you back on the Council? Did everyone just forget about what the previous incarnation of the Council nearly did?" the prisoner asked

"Indeed they forgot, mass memory manipulation is quite useful. Also to save ourselves time I'll answer some questions I know you have for me. It's been quite some time since the war between Tartaros and the Council ended, the world has since moved on. The Council was reformed and Tartaros went back into hiding without its leader, the surviving mages who fought against the Council were allowed to go free and move on with their lives. Your beloved sister would later start her own magic guild Fairy Tail which has also been a thorn in the Council's side, something I'm sure you enjoy. Now are there any other questions?" the chairman finished

"Not really a good summary Guran. But still everyone forgot about me? There are no statues of me, bards aren't telling my tale at random bars, and there isn't a day devoted to me? Sheesh that's the last time I do anything for the greater good or the general populace." The prisoner muttered in a huff

"What part of mass memory manipulation do you not understand?"

"The part that means I don't get praised for all my heroic deeds"

"I wouldn't call killing hundreds of people and nearly causing anarchy heroic"

"Better than letting the Council rule over all of Earthland instead of just governing the magical world like they were supposed to"

"If I might interrupt and ask you sir, but what are you two talking about?" Lahar asked

"Ah of course, well allow us to explain to you what happened all those years ago, do grab a seat because this might take some time," The chairman told Lahar

Lahar quickly searched around the area for a seat but couldn't' find one. He simply decided to sit on the floor and listen to the story that the Chairman and the prisoner had to say.

"Alright I suppose you should know a bit about our prisoner here. Long ago he used to be of the Council's most trusted assassins an-"the chairman began

"Wait assassin? Since when did the Council use assassins to maintain order?" Lahar interrupted

"At that time, the use of skilled assassins was necessary to maintain order. Now please don't interrupt me until I'm finished Lahar. As I was saying for a time he was called "The Left Hand of the Council" because of his skill in keeping peace while operating in the shadows. He was the ideal servant of the Council, he never once questioned his orders and always did what he was told…" the chairman said, pausing at the end of the statement.

There was a strange moment of silence; both the chairman and the prisoner were absolutely still, eyes closed, and deep in thought. Lahar was unsure himself of what to say or do for he himself wanted to know more about this old Magic Council that used assassins to keep peace.

"But like I told you before, when loyal dogs begin to question their orders the results don't end up pretty," The chairman finished ominously

"Normally I don't like being called a dog, but our good Chairman is right. I followed orders without a care in the world, granted at the time I was raising my sister so I didn't have much room to question orders. But certainly destroying a legal guild and killing every member but their master demands some questioning wouldn't you agree?" the prisoner asked Lahar with a smile

"I-I don't understand" Lahar said

"What part didn't you get; the Council sanctioned the destruction of a legal guild back in my time. Simply for the reason that they were getting more annoying," the prisoner responded

"Oh please, those Candor Sabers several times fought other legal guilds directly violating the Council's edict and more than once literally did the opposite of our orders simply to spite us." The chairman replied "They were given ample enough warnings, but that Master Kazuo refused to change the guild's ways or at the least step down. Their destruction was necessary to maintain peace throughout the land, unfortunately not all agreed and our good friend here decided that it was time to quit.

Lahar could feel a very hostile air coming from both the Chairman and the prisoner; they were locked in an intense stare down with each other and Lahar wasn't sure if the Chairman would just end it and kill the prisoner while he was in his cell. Suddenly both started laughing but Lahar could still feel a somewhat hostile air coming from both of them.

"Oh it's fun to reminisce about the past, well do you mind telling us your story Chaos?" the Chairman asked

"Chaos?" Lahar asked

"Because I brought chaos for the Council after I left... Well I thought it was funny, can't say Doma and the other councilors saw the humor in it." Chaos said with a dry laugh

"Again, killing hundreds of council soldiers, enforcement individuals, oh and innocent civilians isn't exactly the funniest thing I've ever seen or heard" Guran replied

"Oh you just need to get that stick out of your ass and lighten up. Now let's see what I did after I quit being the Council's Left hand. Well it goes something like this:" Chaos began

He was sure he had made the right decision; he was more or less disappointed in himself that he had served blindly for so long. Granted he was only 12 when he became a Council assassin and didn't know another life and he had believed they always did what was for the best. He wouldn't have to worry about money for a while, he had millions of Jewel in his bank account which was easily enough to support him and Mavis for the foreseeable future. He wondered what Mavis would tell him when he would tell her he quit the job perhaps she'd see him in a better light, she always had this look of disappointment every time he had left to "keep the peace". He didn't care too much what others said, but he did feel a bit sad when she gave him that look. He finally reached his front door, took out his key, opened the door and walked in.

"Whoa, you're home early," a voice said coming from the kitchen

"Mavis if I find the snack cabinet empty again I'm not buying anymore snacks for you." He replied

He heard some frantic movement going on in the kitchen before hearing a loud thump and a small cry from the kitchen. He sighed and walked towards the kitchen muttering a few curses under his breath. He came in and he wasn't sure what to make of the sight, there was his sister lying on the floor holding her head, a large amount of candy wrappers were littered on the floor and the snack cabinet had actually fallen on the floor. He stood there for a few moments again wondering-

"Quick question, Mr. um Chaos" Lahar interrupted "But is this really necessary, I was hoping you'd tell more about how you went from being a Council assassin to being the founder of Tartaros. Also why do you reference yourself as he?" He asked

Chaos stopped and gave a look of death to Lahar who met his gaze, after a few moments Chaos turned his head to Guran "Doma, does this man always interrupt people stronger and more important than him?"

"I'm afraid he's simply curious" Doma answered

"Well then, Mr. Lahar I'll ask you to keep your mouth shut while I tell my story, if you're bored then know that I tend to move quickly and live an action packed life. Because on the off-chance that someone narrated my life the audience wouldn't get bored, so work with me here. Also it's my story I'll use whatever point of view I feel like" Chaos said impatiently. "Now where was I"

Wondering what to say. A wry smile appeared on his face as Mavis finally noticed he had come into the room.

"It's not what it looks like, the cabinet fell on its own and I tried to stop it but I slipped on the wrappers that had fallen on the floor because you had eaten them earlier and didn't throw them away and-" She began

"Wait, are you somehow blaming me for all of this?" he asked incredulously

"Umm, yes it's all your fault big brother. All you're late night candy cravings and then you don't even throw the wrappers away. You ought to be ashamed of yourself," she replied confidently

"Alright you caught me" he said sarcastically "but more important news, I submitted my resignation papers and no longer serve the Council"

"Really! That's great, I'm so proud of you," she said rushing over to give him a hug. "So what are you going to do now? Maybe you should join a guild I'm sure a lot of guilds would give you a chance as long as you leave out the part where you killed people because you were told to" she said happily

"Oh heavens no, joining a legal guild wouldn't be fun at all or do any good," he replied with an annoyed smile

"Wait what?"

"In my line of work you never quit without finding out about something big your bosses are planning to do" he stated as he pried Mavis away from him.

"What do you mean by something big? I know the Council is shady and what not, I'm sure the Sabers would agree with me there but what's worse than destroying a legal guild?' Mavis asked

"Oh you know, unlocking ancient powers that were sealed long ago and using said powers to completely take over Earthland as we know it in order to provide "order" to the land and stop all future wars between squabbling nations" He said matter of factly

Mavis froze in place she mostly wondered how her brother could say something like this as calmly as he did. Also his explanation gave rise to more questions granted she came to expect that from him.

"Wait where are you going?" she asked as she noticed her brother leaving the room "At least help me with the wrappers that I, I mean you left on the floor" she said running after him.

She followed him as he went up the stairs to his room and started packing clothes into a bag he kept under his bed. She watched him as he finally finished packing up his things and turned around before he seemed to notice Mavis watching him.

"Why are you standing there sweetie? Shouldn't you be packing your things as well?" he asked

"Wait, where are we going?"

"Wasn't it obvious from my previous statement? The Council is doing something quite shady, and it requires someone to intervene. Who better than someone who knows them as well as I do?"

"Yeah you're giving me a chance to prove myself! Let's stick it to the ruling class!"

"Whatever just get your things" he muttered, making a quick mental note to stop letting Mavis read any more communist manifestos.

She nodded and ran to her room to pack for the upcoming adventure. When she finished he was waiting for her rather impatiently his feet tapping and he was staring at his watch.

"There you are, someone takes their sweet time now don't they?" he asked

"Geez, I'm sorry why are you in such a rush anyway?" she replied walking down the stairs

"We don't have all the time in the world, from what I've been able to piece together the Councilors are already preparing the ritual that will unlock the ancient powers that lie dormant for now" he said as he took Mavis' bag and headed out the door

"Okay, but surely you and I can't take out the entire Council on our own right? Are we going to meet some of your assassin friends or anyone else?" Mavis asked

"Oh we'll pay a visit to some of my old comrades, but the first person we need to pay a visit to is Master Kazuo,"

"Master Kazuo? Like the Saber's master right? Where could he possibly be right now, nobody has seen him ever since the Sabers were destroyed by the Council, oh I'm sorry a collection of dark guilds." Mavis asked

"Knowing that old crazy bastard, he's most likely in a random field drinking while waiting for a stray lightning strike to kill him, even though he knows that he'll simply absorb the lightning. They don't call him the Thunder God just because they can. The question is… which random field is he in right now?" he answered
