Chapter four

It took Lucy a good couple hours to convince Natsu to take a train to Magnolia; the town was as far inland as you could go in Fiore, honestly, and though she wouldn't have minded the days it took to walk there, she was beginning to feel anxious with the silence that surrounded them. So she stood there, forking over a good handful of jewels to pay for three tickets- why Happy wouldn't just hide in one of their bags was beyond her, but she had already agreed to pay- when she realized she was practically down to the money she had sworn to save for her first residence. She found herself hoping that everything worked out alright.

She trailed behind the Fairy Tail mages, Natsu eager to find a bench that was away from the chattering crowd boarding, and hesitantly took a seat across from him when he fell back onto the bench, immediately cringing and curling in on himself against the window.

"I'm sorry," she hummed when a heavy man bobbed the train car. "It should only be a couple hours at most, and we'll be in Magnolia."

"Don't worry about him," Happy dismissed lightly. "He'll be fine as soon as we get off the train."

"Still," she mumbled, worry creasing her brow and contorting her face. "Let me know if there's anything I can do to help." He let out a low whine in the back of his throat as his stomach twisted painfully and nearly folded forward.

She paused for a moment and was glad she had switched out her soaked- ruined- dress for a pair of shorts and an old tank top. She moved to sit beside the dragon slayer and smoothed her hand down along his spine in sympathy. "Would you feel better if you laid down? You can put your head on my lap, if you'd like. I know these seats are pretty dirty, and I wouldn't want my face on them."

"Tha'd be nice," he slurred out breathlessly, sucking down a gasp of air before dropping unceremoniously onto her thighs. "Th'nks."

She hummed out a response, a hand falling to rest against the side of his head. He was hit with her scent for the first time since meeting her, even if it was almost overpowered by the salty stench of the sea. It was soft- almost like that of a wind mage- and there was definitely a scent that he realized must have been stardust. She kind of smelled like desert, too; honey or vanilla, or even strawberries and cream, he wasn't really too sure. He let out a content breath when her fingers curled into the spiked mess of his hair lazily, almost thoughtlessly.

They were silent for a moment, the celestial mage stilling her fingers when the whistle blared and the train began to roll along the tracks, Natsu letting out a pitiful groan.

"To think he took down a band of dark mages on his own in under ten minutes, but he's completely useless as soon as he's on some kind of transportation," Happy tutted out teasingly.

"I would have been a goner if you guys didn't show up," Lucy admitted in a whisper, the cat straining to hear her. "He threw my keys, and there really wasn't a lot I could do until I had them back. He was so close to branding me, too." She glanced warily at the series of boils on her leg right above her ankle, and frowned slightly before tucking it gingerly behind her other foot. "I really owe you guys a lot." She offered him a small smile, bottom lip trembling slightly as the truth settled in: she was nearly branded a slave and sold to some mad scientist trying to test illegal magic and that was the best possible scenario she could come up with.

"Hey, don't be sad," Happy whined out softly, curling into her lap around Natsu's head and kneading at her thighs cautiously. "Nothing like that's gonna happen again."

She screwed her lips shut, refusing to bring the truth of how unlikely that statement was to light and focused on petting the cat.

Her attention began to slip away as she followed her memories down a dark rabbit hole. Her hand unknowingly slipped onto Natsu's head and she raked blunt nails across his scalp, ruffling his hair in very soothing motions. He rumbling sigh of content spill through his nose with wisps of smoke. Her movement stilled as if she just realized where her hand had traveled, and she hurried to set it on the bench beside her. "I'm sorry about that," she whispered, careful not to wake Happy who buried his nose against her abdomen. "I didn't realize-"

"Felt good," he groaned out, taking another deep breath of her scent to try and quell the churning in his stomach. "Didn't mind it." A soft smile crossed Lucy's face as she began massaging his scalp once more- she absolutely refused to think the word petting, though that was essentially what she was doing. Minutes passed as soft snores came from the man on her lap, and she found her own eyes growing heavy as the soft sway of the train loosened her muscles. Her head rolled back to rest on the corner of the bench as consciousness left her.

"Luigi," a soft voice called out, cool paws kneading against her forearm in an attempt to rouse the celestial mage. "Luigi. Time to get up." Her doe eyes snapped open abruptly, Happy nearly jumping off of the bench at the sudden movement- the dragon slayer was really the only person he ever woke up, and it took an eternity to get him to open his eyes at all. "Hey, you're up! That's great! You should wake Natsu up while I grab his bag. I'll meet you out on the platform." Without waiting for a response- he was sure the blonde could handle cranky, barely awake Natsu just fine since he had for years- he zipped off to find where the heavy backpack had slid off to during their journey.

A quick glance outside confirmed that they had reached Magnolia's station while pins and needles beginning to form in her legs as she tried to wiggle her toes.

Fighting back a hiss of pain, she combed her fingers through his messy hair; she had given him quite a few tangles while playing with the spikes. She began rolling her shoulders to work out the kink in her neck and hummed out, "Natsu, it's time to get up." She bit back a yawn for a moment, fighting the urge to arch her back and stretch her stiff joints, and she scratched lightly at the dragon slayer's shoulder. "We're at Magnolia station. If we don't get off, we're going to have to take another train."

His head turned slowly, nose dragging across her thigh in a way that made her muscles tense as she noticed the tired scowl on his face and his half lidded eyes. She spoke even more firmly, "We have to get up."

"Sucks," he slurred out. His dark eyes began to close once more but instead, Lucy wiggled her fingers under his cheek and slowly began lifting his face.

"You can sleep later. We have to get off of the train now," she chided lightly as she stood up, cringing heavily when she put weight on her legs. He grumbled unpleasant things as he sat up and absentmindedly followed her when she picked up her backpack. She made it to the platform after weaving her way through a few loitering passengers, and the conductor ducked in around them.

Happy was sitting there on top of the bag nearly twice his size as he studied the way Natsu trailed a little too closely behind the celestial mage, humming tired responses when she scolded him for stepping on the back of her shoe.

"Took you guys long enough!" he teased lightly as a small pang of jealousy hit him. It was always easier for him to see Natsu's feelings when he was tired; the dragon slayer was already an instinctual person, so when his brain had yet to come to full consciousness, he hardly thought through which instincts to follow and which to ignore.

"Natsu wouldn't get up," Lucy said. Her arms reached above her head as she stretched and a content hum filled the air. The obvious difference between the pair was palpable; yet, they almost had a routine going with the way Natsu trailed half a step behind her and the blonde seeming to double check to make sure he hadn't wandered off. "Who wants to lead the way?"

Natsu and Happy eyed her strangely for a moment. It was morning, maybe seven or eight, which was early for their rowdy guild. Apparently, she was a huge morning person.

"I can lead the way," Happy said slowly, almost unsurely. He hopped off of Natsu's backpack when the dragon slayer began to pick it up. "It's all the way across town."

They began walking, silence enveloping them suddenly and sticking around through most of their journey. The blonde made mental notes of places she wanted to visit- how could anyone walk past that beautiful cathedral and not want at least a day to explore it? She decided quickly that she would go buy a map of Magnolia so she didn't have to bother Natsu and Happy- or anyone else in Fairy Tail, for that matter- any more than absolutely necessary.

It wasn't until they were in front of a building nearly three stories tall with a giant sign reading Fairy Tail that she realized just how close she was to joining her dream guild- the guild that had already helped her so much despite having only met three members of it.

Nerves began to race through her veins as Natsu moved ahead of them, raising his foot and landing a solid kick to the doors while Happy spun around and smiled widely as he cheered out, "Welcome to Fairy Tail!" The wood that probably weighed twice Lucy's own weight flew open easily, slamming into the walls and revealed all of the noise. Talking, laughter, objects being thrown and breaking, the ruckus only began to grow as people realized who was standing in the doorway.

"We're home!" Happy called out, a round of toasts creating a bout of cheers.

"Welcome back, Natsu and Happy!" a beautiful woman called from behind the bar, who anyone in Fiore could name without a second glance. Sapphire eyes met Lucy's startled topaz ones for a second as confusion and grief clouded the sky colored irises for a moment before Mirajane was ducking out from behind the bar, a smile on her delicate features.

"You overdid it again, Natsu! I read about the Hargeon incident in the newspa-" the adenoidal voice didn't get a chance to even finish the word before the rubber sole of a shoe sent the buck toothed mage flying, the other occupants of his table shrieking out in both fear and amusement.

"Ya bastard! Ya gave me fake info 'bout Salamander," Natsu snarled angrily as the snowy haired model passed by, earning a dainty laugh.

"My, we may have to invest in repairing the guild hall so soon since Natsu's back," she observed in a sweet, crystalline voice. "He might just tear the building apart soon."

"What do you mean, Mira? It's already being torn apart!" A tawny haired man screamed out in horror, watching several broken tables and benches clatter noisily to the floor. "Someone needs to stop Natsu!"

"Good luck!"

"Ow, what was that for Happy?"

And as Lucy stood in the threshold, heart hammering as she watched the building fall to chaos as the mages all began to fight, she gave out a breathy laugh and whispered, "I really made it to Fairy Tail." She winced as someone went soaring over her head and ducked down to avoid getting caught by his flailing leg. She wondered briefly if she should try to calm down the dragon slayer who seemed to be riling everyone else up.

"Did someone say Natsu's back?" an inky haired man with a slightly accented voice called out, slipping into the guild past her without a sideways glance. "Hey lava mouth, let's settle our fight from the other day!" As the blood rushed to her face, a few of the keys on her belt searing against her leg in anger, Lucy had to admit that this newcomer was quite handsome and definitely in good shape- a fact she could only prove due to his only clothes being a pair of striped boxers.

"Hey Gray, have ya been walkin' 'round like that?" a hickory haired woman sitting lazily on one of the few intact tables slurred out. She was painfully attractive, dark wavy hair spilling to her waist as her earthen mauve colored eyes boredly skimmed over the man's body, who shrieked out profanities and dove back the way he had come. She was nearly as indecent as the other mage with only a pair of capris and a bralet on. "Issa shame he's just 'nother one 'a them undignified guys that I really hate." Without sparing a moment, her slender arms heaved a barrel that smelt like whiskey over her head and began chugging expertly from it, not even a drop sliding down her chin.

"Natsu, fight me!"

"Ya ain't even dressed!"

"What rubbish," a booming voice hissed out from behind Lucy and she became painfully aware of just how far into the building she had walked. A hulking figure nearly twice, maybe even three times her size, stood between her and the exit. "All these brats yappin' away in the middle of the day. You ain't little kids, ya know." He suddenly charged towards where Natsu and Gray were brawling, an older pair of mages trying to separate them. "So fight with fists and show that you're a real man!"

"Get outta the way!" the pair screamed in unison, punching him away in a single- frighteningly synchronized- move.

"It's gotten so noisy in here," a suave voice sneered out, a handsome man with ginger hair and hazel eyes clicking his tongue in annoyance as he adjusted his tinted glasses. He was easy to recognize as Loke Regulus; Sorcerer Weekly put him in first place for which popular mage you'd want to be your boyfriend every month. That image was immediately shattered by the pair of scantily clad women he had under each of his arm, and another small group of them leaning against the back wall with dreamy looks on their faces. "I suppose I shall join their fight and put it quickly to an end."

Lucy ducked around another projectile- this time the leg of a table or a chair, she couldn't be too sure- and found comfort on the floorboards of the guild despite how likely she was to be trampled.

"My, are you a newcomer?" Mira sang out sweetly, having finally made her way over. The blonde cautiously took the offered hand and pulled herself back to her feet as the famous mage continued. "That's wonderful! My name is Mirajane Strauss, though everyone just calls me Mira. If you have any questions, or you need any help at all, let me know."

"I'm Lucy," she choked out, shocked that the model could just ignore the fight behind her. "Should we do something to stop them?"

"You're free to try, but it happens all the time. You don't have to worry about it too much," the ivorette giggled out, watching Gray get squashed by a table which shattered upon impact. "Besides, isn't it more fun like this?" Not a moment later, a bottle smashed against Mirajane's temple hard enough to shatter it on impact and send the barmaid to the ground, Lucy diving to catch her.

"Mirajane-san, are you alright?" she shrieked out, squealing as Gray's body smashed through the floor right beside her, a shard of wood scratching her arm. A quick glance at where he came from showed Natsu stalking over to them, still grumpy from being woken up, and Loke waving a pair of very familiar striped boxers in the air.

"Shit, gimme my underwear back!" Gray shouted, uncaring that Lucy was knelt in between the pair and getting an eyeful of something she really wasn't interested in seeing.

"Don't face this way!" she cried, burrowing her face in her hands and praying for it to end.

"Hey, lady, if you don't mind, please lend me your underwear," Gray began, Lucy lashing her leg out and catching him across the shins.

"There's no way I'd do that!" she shouted towards his tumbling body, nearly elbowing Loke when he scooped her up.

"People with no elegance are quite troublesome, don't you think?" he cooed sweetly towards her, a quick glance showing that Mirajane had hurried off and left her without an ounce of support. "By the way, which modeling agency do you belong to?"

"What are you even talking about?" she nearly sobbed out, pushing away from him weakly.

"Men should fight with fists!" the bulky man who had just rejoined the fray shouted, only to be punched away by Natsu as he stalked towards the celestial mage, ripping her out of Loke's arms and kicking the playboy away without a backwards glance. The noise continued its crescendo, even with the dragon slayer seated beside the blonde at the bar now, demanding food from Mirajane who still had blood trailing down her face.

"It's so fuckin' noisy in here!" the brunette from before shouted, swatting away a stool that came too close to her perch on the table. "I can't even drink peacefully like this! It's time to settle this!" She whipped out a card, magic flaring as everyone rose to the challenge and summoned their own magic to counter hers when she struck, or anyone stepped out of line.

"Magic? My, this is getting a little too intense," Mira breathed out nervously, unwilling to turn her gaze from the fight for a moment.

"That's enough!" a bellowing voice snarled deeply, a foot that could easily crush one of the tables coming down sharply on the ground. "Cut it out you fools!"

"He's humongous," the blonde whimpered fearfully, eyes locked on the hunched giant that barely fit in the building. It did the trick though, everyone freezing- some mid attack- and waiting for only a few moments before turning away and returning to their regular activities.

"Were you here the whole time, Master?" Mirajane inquired gently, drawing attention to the trio at the bar. He nodded before leaning down closer, as if trying to place a familiar face, before chuckling.

"A newcomer?"

"Yes," she squeaked out fearfully, shooting a glare over her shoulder when Natsu snorted in amusement. When she looked back, she immediately noticed that the man was shrinking and she felt a spike of relief that he used size manipulation as opposed to truly being a giant. She'll admit that he shrunk quite a bit further than she originally thought before sticking out a tiny hand that the blonde was forced to bend down slightly to slowly shake.

"Nice ta meet cha!" he chirped before sending himself spiraling through the air, landing rather ungracefully on the railing of the second floor. Once he had settled, the guild grew deathly quiet once more, as if knowing that the papers bundled in his hand was for them. "You've done it again, you fools. Look at all the documents I've received from the Council!" He began skimming through the complaints, eyebrow ticking in annoyance. "Firstly, Gray. Good job on sweeping out the smuggling organization, but you were caught walking around naked in town afterwards, and ran away after stealing underwear that had been hung to dry."

"Wouldn't walkin' 'round naked be worse?" he grumbled irritably.

"Then don't be naked in the first place," the hulking man shot back.

"Elfman, you had a mission to escort a very important person, but you assaulted him during the mission instead!" the old man shouted towards the snarky comment, the giant looking dejected as he tried to softly justify his actions. "Cana, drinking fifteen large barrels of expensive alcohol and charging it to the Council. Loke, flirting with the granddaughter of Council member Elder Reiji. I also received a complaint from a certain talent agency that demanded compensation for damage, as well. And Natsu." A heavy sigh filled the air as the roset quirked an eyebrow, Happy landing inaudibly on the bar by Lucy. "You destroyed the Devon thief family, but you also destroyed seven other houses that belonged to townspeople, you leveled a historical clock tower in Tully Village, burnt down a church in Freesia, damaged parts of Lupinus castle, collapsed the Nazuna Ravine Observatory and stopped its operations, and destroyed half of Hargeon's port." It was painfully obvious that he was the most destructive- that was over half of the articles about Fairy Tail covered in Sorcerer Weekly. "Alzack, Levy, Kulov, Reedus, Warren, Bisca, all of you. The Council members are angry with me all the time!"

Suddenly, his mood shifted and the pages in his hand went up in flames, an unintentional show of power, and tossed them towards the bar, Natsu stepping around Lucy to catch them and chow down on the flames. "But you should forget about the Council members. The power to overcome reasoning is born from within reasoning. Magic is not a miracle. When the energy within us and the energy within nature connect, they will form a unique embodiment for the first time. It requires a strong mentality and a lot of concentration, and the real magic is pouring everything you have, your whole soul, into whatever you do. If you waste your time worrying about the watchful eyes of the higher ups, your magic won't improve. Do not fear the fools of the Council. Do whatever you think is right! That is the way of Fairy Tail mages!"

The instantaneous cheers were deafening, and the pride that surrounded the blonde was contagious, a beaming smile coming to her face as a celebration reigned within the room.

She was exhausted, her knees shook with the effort of keeping her up, and her cheeks ached as yet another breathtaking smile spread across her face, and yet her heart felt light enough to ignore everything else. She had been pulled every which way since the morning, and it had long since grown dark outside, and she had more names and faces in her mind than she knew what to do with- though not many of them fit together. Still, she stood before Mirajane, bouncing on the balls of her feet in her excitement, with her right hand palm down on the bar. "You want it here?" the model asked, clearly confused. Lucy understood- she gathered fairly quickly that most of the female mages chose to bear their marks on their abdomen or leg- and nodded her head quickly. The large stamp was pressed gingerly to the back of her hand, a small tingle running up her arm as magic seeped into her skin. When it was removed, a soft bubblegum pink Fairy Tail mark was staring back at her. "There you go! Now you're officially a part of Fairy Tail!"

"Thank you!" the blonde chirped out, reaching across the bar to hug Mira for a moment before darting off. "Natsu, look! She gave me the Fairy Tail mark!" He hardly glanced up from his food- pasta and chicken that wasn't even visible through the thick layer of flames coating it- before humming something out around a mouthful. "You know, you don't seem as excited as you were when you practically dragged me here." Kurov, the buck toothed mage that had contributed to the start of a guild wide brawl earlier in the day, nearly choked on the beer he was drinking.

"There's no way-"

"Hey Natsu," Wakaba, a smoke mage, called out drunkenly from a table or two away, "where'd ya find such a cutey!" The other middle aged men around him began drunkenly mumbling out their agreements. The blonde quickly reclaimed the stool Natsu had kept open for her all day and ducked her head down as she flushed prettily. "I'm so jealous. I wonder if she'd join my team!" The dragon slayer wrapped his fingers around her wrist and urged Lucy back to her feet before stalking over to the request board- the only one she could work off of.

"Where ya goin', Natsu?" an earth mage- she couldn't quite recall his name- asked, bored.

"Work," was all the dragon slayer replied, eyes skimming over the papers as he was still walking. He knew that Mirajane put the more physical jobs together; all of the monster battles and dark mage captures hanging higher on the board. He wondered momentarily which option the blonde would prefer; she didn't seem like someone to get down and kick ass for fun- but then again, neither did Mirajane. "Choose one with a good reward." He looked at the celestial mage over his shoulder, taking in her owlish eyes as she watched him in shock before nodding towards the board once more.

"Is my dad back yet?" a wobbly voice questioned from a few feet over, a young boy distracting Lucy the moment she took a step closer to the jobs.

"Quit annoyin' me, Romeo. If you're truly the son of a mage, then trust your father, be a good kid, and wait for him at home," the miniscule master belched out around his beer, ignoring the way Romeo began to tremble as tears spilled down his cheeks.

"But he said he'd be back in three days, and it's been over a week!" the kid challenged. "His job's just on Mount Hakobe! It's not that far! Please send someone to look for him! I'm so worried!" Makarov pinched the bridge of his nose, unwilling to show his own concern and refusing to believe the man took a job he couldn't handle- they had worked together for so many years now, it seemed impossible he didn't know his own boundaries.

"No way! Your dad's a great mage kid, and there's not a mage here that can't take care 'a himself, so just go home and drink your milk or something!" Not a moment later, Romeo had launched himself onto a stool and punched the guild master directly in the face, running from the building and wailing terribly.

"It's pretty strict here, isn't it?" Lucy breathed out solemnly.

"Master may act like he doesn't care, but truthfully, he's just as worried about Macao," Mirajane said softly as she carried a stack of freshly cleaned plates back towards the kitchen.

"C'mon Luce, let's go," Natsu grumbled irritably, snatching her wrist once more and swinging his own backpack onto his shoulders, Happy floating down to trail behind them.

"Master, Natsu's gonna do something bad," a large tanned man called out, alarmed as he watched the trio disappear. "I bet he's gonna go help Macao."

"Stupid kid, doesn't he know doin' that will only hurt Macao's pride?" Wakaba tutted out around a cigarette, shaking his head. "And dragging that pretty new girl off with him."

Despite himself and the fit he just threw about leaving the mage alone, Makarov couldn't stop the proud smile that formed and he stuck a pipe in his teeth to mask it. "No one can decide what they should do. Just leave them be," he declared proudly.

Hey guys! So, first off, I'm so sorry about the mix up last week. Due to a suggestion by aliciacevbra, I will be posting another chapter as well tonight! Another little treat is that I have a beta reader now so you guys don't have to suffer through horrible word repetition anymore!

Leave any suggestions you guys have for this story, the oneshot series, or any future stories below in my PMs or the reviews!

Reviews!

Melancholy's Sunshine, it takes about two seconds after they leave, honestly. The guild is full of gossipers and Natsu dragged someone to the guild he's hardly ever at, so people began talking immediately. These bets will be mentioned more the more comfortable everyone else is with each other, so be ready!

Arcadea333 and Savwafair, we did skip a chapter, unfortunately. I try to post these at midnight so that everyone can read them whenever they wake up or have time, so I'm typically half asleep. I fixed the chapter though, if you hadn't seen it yet.

Aliciacevbra, I actually just messed up. The battle against Bora still isn't very prominent, it's not focused as much on the fighting, but it's still there. I'm so glad you feel that way about my writing. That's exactly what I was going for!

Littlest1, thank you so much! Happy is actually incredibly observant, even in the cannon manga and anime, but they don't focus on Happy so it's overlooked. It would be kind of ridiculous to have Lucy be taken away, especially given how Happy hides for a while after Natsu enters the boat. Like, what was she even doing originally? There were slavers in front of her, armed and dangerous, and she was just judging Natsu trying to save her even though he had motion sickness and she was on a boat? Okay Lucy, I see you. So like, of course she'll still fight as soon as she can since he can't, and of course she trusts Aquarius not to kill her after everything they've been though together. And he will officially meet Nyra very soon.

Rere97Maui, many more LucyxNatsu interactions to come! And you are most definitely picking up a possessive/jealous streak in Natsu. He will be very possessive and jealous in this story- not too much, Lucy will still kick his ass for it once in a while.

Valerioux, she's officially in Fairy Tail! Lucy definitely was wary of being dragged off at the end- she was almost branded a slave and she had willingly chosen to follow that guy, after all- and that was partially why she wanted them to go on the train- motion sickness is a weakness, and she can use it to get away from them if worst came to worst.

Bakers28, I'm trying to find ways to give Aquarius less of a 'I actually hate you' vibe and more of a 'you need to see that not every good person is nice, so stop judging people so quickly' vibe, you know? I don't know if that really makes sense or anything, but I hope so. There will be lots of little things like that in this story, it's honestly what makes the story for me too. Definitely let me know when you have something up! I'm not great with a lot of things, but if I know it I'll definitely check it out and if you're proud of something and let me know, I'll read it even if I don't know where it's from!

ProbablyEpsilon, I personally love Nyra and have planned the Draco spirit for close to a year or two, honestly. I knew that I wanted size manipulation and scent masking to come with her, and honestly could you imagine when Wendy starts going on jobs and she gets nervous, so Lucy sends Nyra with her and supports her gate for all of Wendy's job, no matter how strenuous. And I can just see Wendy come skipping into the guild with a matching key, her own Draco, and she shyly asks Lucy to teach her to use it and she gets her own guardian spirit and oh boy oh boy do I have some ideas for that.

Bananarock509, originally I had Lucy talking about dragon slaying magic, but then I saw Happy's reaction in the manga, and honestly, that kind of shocked silence is the best!

SoftKittyPaw, congratulations on spring break and I hope you have a speedy recovery from your surgery! I will definitely do an intimate healing oneshot for you. I'll try to get it out sometime this week as my get well soon present, alright? Keep an eye out for it!

19vanelkc, it's so fucking hard to find a story with draconic!Natsu and it makes me so sad! I love dragon instincts with the dragon slayers and it needs to be more popular! Everyone should write one and send it to me so I can read them, honestly!

Yoru no Nx, Bora got his ass whooped good. I'm glad you enjoyed it! The Magic Council is never happy, lol, even with a criminal caught.
