Ace looked down at Alex who he was carrying through the halls of a stone building "It's amazing, he's the last one of the 5 but do you think he can come to our ways?" Ace asked Serena who chuckled "No need to worry once we bind the spirit to his body he'll have no choice in the matter, then it will be our turn."
They continued to walk till they reached what looked like a sacrificial chamber with a pathway leading to a stone table surrounded by a black liquid. The pair continued to talk as they made there way to the centre of the room "just think how close we are, all the work we've done even when we were part of The Goats Head. Master Amon would be proud, we found The Abatu Pit as well as the scroll of The Demons Hand all we need now is to bring them to our world and bind them to our body's." Ace laughed "I can't wait once we have the powers of demons not even the magic council can stop us."
They finally reached the stone table and Ace placed Alex on it and turned to face a man wearing a black robe, he gave a wicked smile "When I heard you found the last one I was sceptical but now that I see that mark." The man continued to marvel at the little boy as Alex was still unconscious, Serena looked on as Alex was being strapped to the table "we need to let everyone know that we're close to completing the final part of the plan, do you know what Balor is doing?" Serena asked as her and Ace "he's on a mission to gather more followers from other guilds" he said and Serena raised an eyebrow "how can a guy who can't speak get more people by our side?"

Inside of a guild hall a man was thrown and slid down a long table and crashing at the other end, everyone turned to the man with a red painted face with black symbols painted on his cheeks. Balor then turned into smoke and attacked everyone else in the room with ease making them surrender, the only one left standing was a woman holding a boa staff telling Balor to bring it on and Balor responded by using his thumb to cut his throat and thumbs down before he turned into smoke.
Night fell and the man wearing the back robe opened a very old book but he looks at Alex who was tied to the table "soon very soon the madness will begin." The man began reading from the book as other hooded people began to chant, as he was reading a black liquid was rising from the pit and moved towards Alex. It started to cling to Alex's body but something had gone wrong Alex woke up with an agonizing scream, the hooded man stopped but the liquid kept on clinging to Alex and his Blue eyes turned Red and the birth marked...opened.
Alex broke his ties and stood off the table with a black shadow surrounding him, he looked at the hooded man and ran towards him and with his shadow magic he created a Shadow Blade cutting the priest in two. The others had a look of fear but it then turned into one of terror when Alex turned to them with a blank expression on his face he then disappeared into its own shadow, the others tried to run but Alex cut them down with screams of agony filling the room.
Alex who was covered in blood walked outside and saw nothing but a forest, a shiver ran down his spine as he ran into the darkness. Alex kept on running through the forest till he came to an opening and fell to the floor, sometime past and slowly the black that clung to his body started to move to his birthmark and once all of it did the eye closed, leaving Alex alone in the forest.
Alex groaned as he woke up "what happened?" he asked not knowing where he was, he felt a burning coming from his right shoulder as he looked down he didn't see anything different. Alex started to walk as he was trying to remember what happened but he couldn't, as he kept walking he saw a small town and he heard his stomach rumble so he went to find food.
Alex arrived at the town though it was small it was definitely busy, he saw alot of of stalls with people selling clothes, artwork and other things. Alex kept on looking till he saw a bakery filled with all sorts of bread and cakes, his mouth started to water 'take it' Alex snapped out of his hunger daze 'what was that?' he thought to himself 'we need the food so take it!!!' the voice said again. Alex's head began to hurt and he fell to the floor with an agonizing scream which started to attract a crowd "are you ok?" an old man asked "I don't know" Alex said with tears in his eyes because of the pain 'too many people' the voice said again Alex felt the burning intensify.
Alex looked at his shoulder and he saw his birth mark open and showed and evil eye and black shadows started to engulf him "WHAT'S GOING ON!!!" Alex cried out but his eyes turned colour again "KEEP AWAY FROM US" the other voice said demonically. The shadows then covered the buildings and they began to be impaled on spikes bringing them crumbling down, the towns people fled screaming as Alex who was still covered in his shadow magic walked down the street with only carnage following in his wake.
The town was completely destroyed only Alex was left but his shadows began to disappear and his eye colour changed, Alex began to cry looking at his hands covered in blood. Alex walked around looking at the devastation he sat down behind a wall that used to be a store he started to cry "I didn't wanna do any of this...WHO ARE YOU!!!!" he screamed out "My name is Jericho"
Alex couldn't believe it "you...you can hear me?" he asked it but he heard laughing "yea I can hear you those druids summoned me and now I'm in your body, but don't worry I took care of them" Jericho said leaving Alex terrified at the fact 'something' was inside of him.
Alex and Jericho traveled out of the town after getting cleaned up and finding some change of clothing, they walked through a forest and saw a train riding down the tracks and they quickly jumped on the back of it and hit behind some creates. Alex sat there hungry and tired "where are we going" Jericho asked Alex who was close to blacking out with exhaustion "I don't know" was his response, the train came to a stop and they heard the PA system "ladies and gentlemen this is the last stop. Magnolia."
They jumped of the train and saw magic council guards getting on, they walked out of the station but Alex was stumbling around "We need food" Jericho said but Alex fell to the floor. The towns people looked on and Alex could feel his shoulder burning 'no not again' was his only thought till "STAND ASIDE" was commanded and Alex felt the burning stop. Alex heard people whispering "are you ok?" the women asked, Alex looked at her "help me" was his only response before he blacked out.
"You ok Erza?" she heard someone ask she turned and saw Gray "this boy past out and it looks like he hasn't had a meal in days, we need to bring him to the guild" she said and Erza picked Alex up and her and Gray walked to the Fairy Tail Guild hoping they can save this boy and find out what happened to him.
Looks like Alex got saved by Erza so the guild will be facing a new adventure. I'll try and get the next chapter up soon but gonna be busy the next few weeks and im thinking about creating a tumblr to post drawings of the characters, but please review and i'll see you in the next one.
