Zeref meets the Trix

"What do you mean by that," Icy states with very little belief in his claims.

"I mean that not long ago I was the emperor of my own empire. I used my magic and power to build my empire and ruled it for quite a long time." Zeref says as if it was fact without a hint of boasting in his tone.

"Fine, we will hire you for this job, however the payment will be settled if and only if you can complete the task. Do we have a deal." Icy said trying her best confidant attitude thinking for sure his answer would be yes.

"No," he simply states making all the Trix just look at him dumbfounded. Icy was about to say something but was cut off by Zeref "I already have a fair payment in mind, however I realize how much doubt you have in my ability, still. So I will simply propose a game I know of from a friend. What do you say."

Icy thought for a moment, thinking of what he was planning before she finally answered. "Alright if I win then we determine the payment, but if you win you get to determine the payment."Icy said with a hesitant look on her.

"Very well, here is the game. We guess each others truths." He says earning him quite a puzzling look. "For example on my turn I could simply say you're a woman and for your turn you would say that I was a man. Whoever guesses wrong loses, and of course no lying. Also the guess can not be something that applies to both of us, such as you have eyes or you have a hair. Otherwise we would be here all day. Although you can only guess the physical appearance of a person only once. So would you like to begin." He then gets a nod and raises his hand and an item glows green in it. Afterwards a bubble appears around the group.

"What is this thing," asks Stormy still annoyed at them even being at the guild.

"Judgment field, in this space we can not lie. This is merely a precaution seeing as how I do not know you and therefore do not trust you. Now would you like to go first or should I." Zeref said in a little of a smug tone.

"Why don't you go first so I can see how it is done." Icy says with a smirk thinking she can easily win. While in sports it is said that the home team has the advantage. That is not true for this game apparently, for the home field reveilles much about you. Or so Icy thought anyway.

"Very well, here goes nothing. You are viewed as dangerous criminals where you are from," Zeref states calmly.

"Yes we are, but doesn't that apply to both of us seeing as how you are or have been a criminal in the past." She states thinking he broke the rules.

"No it doesn't apply to both of us seeing as how I have not been to your home realm before. Therefore I did not brake the rules. I am a former criminal but for my realm and not yours." He states calmly giving away nothing on his face.

"Fine so I guess it is my turn then." And with a small nod Icy begins. "You are a teenager, and since we are in are twenties we have not broken the rules." She says with quite the smirk on her face, which fades at his next words.

"Wrong, even though I look like a teenager I have lived for well over 400 years." Zeref said flatly.

Icy's eyes grew wide in horror and disbelief at what was just said. "What? That is impossible no one can live for 400 years without it showing." Standing in utter shock at what he just said she continues. "There is no magic in the entire magic dimension that can give someone such long life with long youth. You must be lying."

"If I was lying then this field would have shown that I was lying now wouldn't it. I will not tell how I lived for so long. Nor will I tell you any of my secrets." Zeref said coldly showing no emotion.

This is where Darcy speaks again, "so what is it that you want as payment for taking care of our problem. Not to sound rude or anything but if you have lived for 400 years then I would imagine that you have gained enough wealth for yourself." This got a small nod from him signaling her to continue. "So if you don't need more money, and I take it you do not want what you don't need, then I would assume you want an artifact of some kind. At least a spell book if not an artifact."

"You are not to far off in that aspect Darcy. In fact I have acquired much in my life as you have just stated, however there is a few things that I have not yet had the pleasure of experiencing." He just casually mentions as he tries to get the attention of a waitress.

"So what is that you actually want," Stormy says with a little more interested look on her face then pissed.

"Me and a friend of my choosing are guarantied at least one date with Darcy and Icy when I get back." Zeref said as he was sipping on a glass of alcohol the waitress had just brought him.

This earned him a collective "WHAT" from everyone in attendance not just the trix. Icy looked around and saw that everyone was watching them and what was going one. She noticed that the most surprised out of all of them was a guy with pink hair.

After a few moments of complete and utter befuddlement Stormy finally is able to speak. "Are you crazy or something? I have a few things wrong with that. One: why is it only them possibly going on a date while I don't get a date? Two: why would they agree to that? Three: Are you sure we can't just give you an artifact or spell book or something? I am pretty sure we can spare one, I mean we have like hundreds."

"First of all Stormy I find it interesting that the first point you brought up was that of why you didn't get a date." Zeref stated before continuing on. "There are in fact two reasons why you were not invited. Reason one: I only have one friend that I am trying to fix up as well as try and fix myself up with a date as well. Reason two: I don't like the attitude you have had since you came in here." This earned him a nasty glare from Stormy and a few snickers which was immediately followed by laughter from the trix and the rest of the guild members. "To answer your second question, they would most certainly agree to it if they want to be rid of your foes. The third question is much simpler, I simply don't want one."

Both Darcy and Icy thought for a moment pondering on what can actually be gotten out of a day with them. But then once again Stormy had to speak up without waiting for her sisters. "Ok, so you never told us why you want to go on a date anyway. I mean you have enough power to turn yourself immortal, why would you want to go on a date."

On this he had to think for a moment, but only for a moment. "One: I didn't turn myself immortal that was done to me at great personal cost. Two: the reason behind any action is never as important as what you might think. The road to a goal and the goal itself is what is important. The reason behind a goal is rarely as important as that. At least that is my perspective. So do we have a deal."

It was quiet for a few minutes until at last Darcy finally spoke. "Fine, I am in but only if this friend you have for me is super hot."

This received a questioning look from Zeref. "You misunderstand me Darcy. Icy will be the one going out with my friend. You will be going out with me." At that all three of them gasped in surprise. "However that will be for after I deal with your foes for you. Tell me when would you like this done. I imagine as soon as possible."

"Yes, but seeing how it is dark and we are tired you can leave tomorrow if you'd like." Icy said with a wide grin knowing that the winx club's days are numbered.
