Erza opened their eyes against the bright sunlight flitting through the curtains of the room's large windows, chocolate irises settled on the woman before them. 'She looks so peaceful.'

"You creep. Quit watching me sleep."

The redhead cracked a smile before their wife turned over and snuggled closer into their warm embrace.

They both laid in bed, just cuddling and sharing jokes until one of the guards rapped on the door, signaling it was time for Erza to get up.

"You should start getting prepared."

Erza groaned and pressed their face into the crook of Lucy's neck, before they got up from the warmth of the sheets to get ready to present themselves in front of their men.

They entered a room and walked towards a black suit of armor that they used only for war. It was made for that purpose. Erza felt a weight against their back and arms around their waist.

The scarlet haired individual sighed and turned around. "Luce...I love you and believe me when I promise to come back to you." They kissed Lucy's forehead and stepped back to see the sad smile grace Lucy's face.

"I know."

Erza returned the smile and pressed their hand against the breastplate of the armor. They put on their clothes before suiting up. They took the helmet off and held it under their arm and walked to the room to give Lucy a long hug, not wanting to let go. "I love you, Erza."

Erza sighed and kissed their wife passionately, whispering an, "I love you too," against the blonde's lips. With that a guard opened the door and told Erza they had to go. They gave Lucy one last smile before letting go of her and walking out to the hallway. A single tear slipped down Lucy's face as soon as her knight walked through the door.

'They'll be okay. They'll come back.'

Erza's POV

I made my way to the same room that started all of this with a stoic expression. My ears caught the sound of chattering amongst my men in that very room. Words about how this is nonsense. As soon as my foot stepped through the doorway a voice that sounded of someone else's left me in a second. "Quiet!"

All eyes were cast on me, a few gulps were audible in the room, and some of their faces went pale. I closed my eyes and let out a breath before looking back up at the people in front of me. "I'm sure you all have heard about the kingdom being forced into war because of Arendelle and Oseas. Let me explain." I looked each man in the eye, making sure they were listening carefully.

"We are forced into this war no matter what. If you paid attention in your classes as a child, you would know that Fiore has the most land of all three kingdoms. They refuse to travel the immense amount of ground to fight one another. We join this war to put an end to it, not to fight one kingdom or the other."

I take a quick breath before continuing. "Now if you do not feel like dealing with this war, or you feel like you can't handle it. Leave." I walked up to them and looked them in the eyes. A few of them let out a few curses and walked out of the room. My gaze was drawn to particular soldier to my left as he stood there looking forward, a bored look on his face. I sighed before walking back to the front of the room.

"Those of you who have stayed, and are not going to run later, this is the formation in which we will attack. I will place you into squads by color. My squad, Red Squad, will be in the middle at the front. Squads Yellow and Green will be on my sides. Purple Squad will be in the back, keeping an eye on our backs. Blue Squad will be our support, or medical team. You guys will be divided into groups of fourteen and go with the squad you're assigned to. Last thing before we go into strategy: I will pick squad leaders and I will give you a ribbon to put on your weapon. This ribbon will be the color of the squad you're assigned to. Now let's talk strategically."

After a few hours of working out a plan that would keep us on our guard, I selected all of the people for my squad. Assigning soldiers to a certain area was very complicated since most of the men were recruits. After all of that was out of the way we made sure everything was good to go and left on our horses. The first day was void of any enemies, but the next day does not hold too much promise.

I had predicted correctly, for when morning drew close, a horn was blown, signalling the sight of an enemy.

"Get into formation! The enemy comes!" The sounds of yelling and commands being thrown around got louder the closer they got to the battlefield. I held my breath, forcing the soul in me to keep calm until I was ready to be aided by such power. The first move was made by Oseas, an arrow shot into one of my men's side. I raged, drawing my sword, and charging forward.

Countless amounts of blood had been spilled within the first hours of battle, most of it coming from Oseas. My heart raced as my anger boiled. I yelled and jumped off of my horse. Many of my men yelled out to me, but I ignored them and focused on letting a bit of the demon escape.

"Erisa, will you aid me in this battle?"

'Oh, Erza, let's have some fun.'

I gasped at the tone of the demon's voice, but it was too late. My focus wavered at the sight of all the death and Erisa took over me completely. All the fighting paused when I landed on the ground and let out a demonic wail.

Arendelle chose the wrong moment to arrive.

Normal POV

Erza lunged at a group of soldiers from Arendelle wrapping their tail around one's neck, their teeth on another's, the last one being crushed in their hands. A loud cry was heard to the left making them glance over with crimson irises. One of Erza's own men had his bow and arrow aimed and ready to shoot at any given moment, hands shaky. They snarled at him, throwing the now dead soldiers to the side.

All hell broke loose. Soldier after soldier charging after them with weapons of different sorts. Some actually got close enough to get a small cut on the demon. Erza growled and started to become irritated with the countless amounts of weapons chucked their way, trying to attack them. Finally, just when they thought they were done fighting someone tackled them from behind. When Erza looked at the face it was the young man from earlier, the same man with a bored look on his face, which was now replaced with a maniacal grin.

"What is it Captain? Human got your tongue?" He chuckled before struggling to keep them down.

"You will pay for this! You will not live to see another day when I am free. Try me if you want! You dare tell anyone about this, I will make you and your family suffer!"

The black haired man sighed before putting a finger on the crimson eyed demon's pulse point and chanting a few words. Erza immediately closed their eyes as their head fell to the side. Gajeel stood up and walked away towards a horse nearby. All of the other horses ran off in fear during the fight.

Erza woke up days later in a disheveled, confused state. Teeth were still sharp enough to pierce skin, one eye was still red, and they felt a familiar sensation below the waist. They looked around and saw all of the weapons, bodies, and blood of the men that were killed. Their head fell back against the cold, wet ground underneath them, their nails digging into the dirt. They tried to focus their hearing on anything they could. The only thing Erza heard was the sound of the wind through their ears.

"What is happening...?"

Hello, ladies and gentlemen. I hope the rewrite is clearing up some things that the original didn't exactly explain. Mind you, I am rewriting this an entire three years later. I have more knowledge on how to construct my sentences and use more of an extensive vocabulary in order to aid me in making this better. If you liked it, or just want to give me some feedback, go ahead and leave a review!
