Next chapter I'll just jump into it.


"Wha...What do you mean?"

"I mean what happened to your soul? Something's wrong I can feel it"

"There's nothing wrong with my soul!" she defends, Bixlow stands very close to her, taking off his mask to stare into her eyes, Lisanna is instantly mesmerised staring into his eyes that were glowing green, it's not him she tried to tell herself.

"Some of your soul is missing" Bixlow says putting his mask back on Lisanna tries not to feel sad about that but focuses back on what he says.

"How can part of my soul be missing?"

"I don't know it shouldn't be possible, souls are meant to be whole not fractured…this could be very bad" he says.

"How bad?" she asks.

"You could fade and die bad"

"How could I fade?"

"Your soul, what's left of it could fade away and you would die"

"Well what can I do?" Lisanna asks, Bixlow shakes his head not even knowing where to start. He couldn't even begin to think what could have caused part of her soul to leave her, he wouldn't have though it possible until right now. He could control souls but he couldn't break them apart, he wouldn't dare it went against everything, laws of nature stuff.

"We should get help" he says.

"We can't tell Mira and Elfman!" she says immediately.

"They only just got me back…it would kill them if they lost me again" Bixlow has to agree remembering the severe change in both of them after her supposed death.

"Okay but we need Freed and Levy at least"

"Fine" she agrees, they head back to the guild the fight having subsided, Bixlow immediately goes to Freed whispering in his ear, he then did the same to a shocked Levy and Team Shadow Gear, Gajeel almost growled but instead hearing what was said looked at Lisanna, she begged him with her eyes to keep quiet and he just gave her a curt nod as Levy stood, Lisanna followed the three into the library, Freed setting up a silencing rune around them immediately.

"Okay tell us what's happening" he says, Bixlow launches into how Lisanna has somehow lost part of her soul, Lisanna was glad he didn't go anywhere near the story she told him, then again he did promise.

"Oh my gosh" Levy says as Freed starts thinking.

"The only thing I can think of off the bat is some kind of device or object that slowly seeped at your soul" Freed says.

"Does such a thing exist?" Levy wonders, her eyes suddenly going wide.

"I have an idea, just a sec" she says racing up the stairs and back into the guild, returning a minute later with Panterlily in her arms, she stands back into the rune circle.

"Okay its safe now, Lily we need your help" Levy says.

"How can I be of assistance?" he inquires, Bixlow gives him the run down, Panterlily looking very concerned by the end.

"Unfortunately yes that does sound familiar actually" he admits.

"It does?" Lisanna asks shocked, he nods.

"Yes back in Edolas to compensate for lack of power people would come up with the most insane inventions to hold and create all kinds of magic. After a while of course these needed to be policed since many were very dangerous, such as death magic objects or other such extremely dangerous magic forms, they would be confiscated and locked away to be destroyed, or stored for later use if the king so wished"

"And something like this soul sucker was in Edolas?" Levy asks.

"Indeed, a ring to be exact as I remember could, given enough time, suck an entire soul out of a victim's body, but it took time and the victim would just feel…mellow I believe the word would be, unencumbered, relaxed if you will, they wouldn't realise their soul was being taken…unless it was on its max setting which would cause excruciating pain as the soul was literally being ripped from a person's body, it was deemed at first an appropriate torture device until it was outlawed, even the king himself thought it was too dangerous and was placed in a pile to be disposed of, however the case it was in was stolen with other supplies on the road and wasn't seen again"

"Was stealing souls all it did?" Freed asked.

"No apparently the soul is a very powerful form of magic, much like how the king was turning the exceeds into Lacrima, the ring would turn a person's soul into magic to be used at their desire"

"Do you think it could be reversed?" Lisanna asks.

"I have no idea" Lily says honestly.

"We can most defiantly try though!" Levy says.

"Freed and I will search every single book until we find something, after all the magic from your soul must have returned here when everything else did!" she says.

"You're right" Lisanna says not really sure but feeling more hopeful.

"Just please let's keep this to ourselves okay?"

"Okay" they agree, and they split up, Freed and Levy heading right to the books, Lily helping, Lisanna sat down to absorb everything, Bixlow takes a seat next to her.

"We'll figure it out" he says, she nods.

"There's just one thing that worries me"

"What?"

"I know who stole that case of supplies"

"Who?" Bixlow asks.

"Edo Fairy Tail, I know, I was there"
