IM BACK! That was actually shorter than I thought. I did start the last chapter when I was sick so maybe under-anticipated my return. ANYWAY! Let's jump into this my motherführers.
Out in the deep blue sea, there is currently a boat with massive shields made of magic ice and a figurehead that resembles Fairy Tail's guild mark. The sails are a combination of white and grey and the flag was a blank white.
Down in the lower decks you can hear the screaming of a certain fire mage due to Ezra's cruel punishment. Even though the guild master himself is supposed to be the one who gives punishments, Erza still felt it was necessary to discipline Natsu before they got home. She also knew Natsu and the others would keep their mouths shut.
"She normally isn't like this. She would have let Makarov punish him instead, but I'm pretty sure he pushed her over the edge on this one." Gray tried to explain this to the others who listened and took it to memory. Lucy learned not to push Ezra's buttons, and Fenrir had a look that didn't show sympathy for Natsu or fear of Erza. It could only be described as a look of anger for being dragged all the way out here, combined with annoyance of someone with loud neighbors.
"Could he scream quieter. I'm just about ready to stitch his mouth shut with all the noise." Fenrir was clearly agitated with all the noise from the lower deck. At least the ship wasn't broken, or Fenrir would go mad.
"You don't feel bad for Natsu?" Gray asked
"Of course I do. I just want him to shut up." Fenrir responds as he sees Natsu come back up with no visible wounds "With all the screams of pain coming from down there I would have expected to see wounds on him. What did you do that requires so much screeching?"
"You'd rather not know." Erza said with Natsu right next to her, white as a ghost
"Maybe you're right." Fenrir said while finally showing a few signs of fear.
1 hour later
The clouds are darker and getting even more so by the minute. It was about to rain. Fenrir prepared for water getting in the lower deck until he heard Gray calling from above in the crows nest, "Storm!" Fenrir, being as fast as he could closed every window and door, while also locking all latches possible. He was ready for the worst, gripping onto the wheel. Lucy was hiding inside Horologium, Happy was cowering behind Natsu, Erza gripped onto the side rails, Natsu locked himself in the captains quarters, and Gray was climbing down the rope.
"Fenrir. I think we should wait the storm out. Just release the anchor and let's sit here for awhile. It's better than being sunk." Gray said
Fenrir agreed and casted the anchor. The others asked what was going on and Fenrir explained what was going on and the others agreed. Luckily for them there were fishing rods in the cargo store Incase they ran out of food.
7 hours later
The storm had finally passed on and the gang set sail again. Little more than a few minutes had passed until they saw a few islands. Nothing to big or small. Some islands had washed up crates that were looted by the group and others had washed up driftwood. And if they were lucky enough they would find chests full of gold and jewelry. Yet they only found one and weren't exactly keen on searching every single island for loot.
Natsu was sitting in the captains quarters wearing a pearl necklace and a ruby infused crown, commanding around the others while Fenrir was sailing onward. Happy Was Natsu's royal adviser and helped Natsu make important decisions on their new kingdom named "Natsania".
Fenrir told Natsu what he thought about the ship name and wasn't having it "Natsu if you even think that your ship name would fly by me, you'd have to more crazy than a feral skeever."
"What's a skeever?" Happy asked
"A giant rat with big teeth and a strong bite. It would snap you in half like a twig." Fenrir said as he walked back to the wheel
"You look like your having fun Lucy." Erza said
"It's not that I am or that I'm not, I've just never been on a ship before." She responded "It's just so nice with the breeze going through my hair and the wonderful sights. I also love seeing the whales and dolphins jumping out of the water to say hi"
Happy came out of the captains quarters to alert the others that Natsu threw up again, for the third time today. Fenrir kept on wondering what kind of magic would cause such bad motion sickness.
"Happy, back on our way to mount Hakobe you said that the type of magic Natsu uses gives him motion sickness, correct? What type of magic does that?" Fenrir asked
"It's Dragon Slayer magic." Happy responded
"Dragon Slayer magic? Any type of destruction magic can kill a dragon." Fenrir said back to him
"You mentioned destruction magic before, what is destruction magic?" Lucy asked
"Destruction magic is the harnessing of elements such as fire, frost and lightning. Other elements such as earth can be put in to destruction magic although it isn't commonly practiced. Water can be placed into the school as well but it isn't commonly practiced as well." Fenrir explained to the group which were slightly lost in his words
"What do you mean by school?" Gray asked
"In Tamriel and possibly Akavir, there are 5 practiced schools of magic. Destruction, Alteration, Restoration, Conjuration, and Illusion. An example of destruction magic would be my lightning bolts. An example of Restoration would be my healing spells. Conjuration would be my skeletal horse. Illusion can turn me invisible and have you run in fear. Alteration can allow me to breathe under water and create magical armor. It's not to complicated or simple either." Fenrir got a few more complying faces but they were still slightly confused.
"What's Akavir?" Lucy asked with a slight idea of what it may be
"Akavir is just another continent east of Tamriel. We haven't had contact with Akavir for more than 200 years and the last time we did have contact it wasn't on the best terms." Fenrir explained to them while slightly confirming Lucy's idea. Though to Lucy's surprise it was an entire continent instead of just a large island
"Are there other continents around Tamriel or is Akavir the only one?" Lucy still being curious about Fenrir and his native homeland decided to pry more information from Fenrir, but with no malicious intent
"Yes there are more land masses. Two more continents, Atmora to the north of Skyrim, Highrock, and Morrowind; alongside Yokuda to the west of Highrock and Hammerfell, both of which are abandoned. Then there is Pyandonea to the south of Summerset, but I'm unsure of wether it's a continent of its own or a part of Tamriel? It's big enough to be its own continent, but at the same time it's close enough to Tamriel to be apart of it? Let's just say it's its own continent so instead of two continents, there are three." Fenrir ends with urgency as if it's important for them to not know anymore.
"Why are Atmora and Yokuda abandoned?" Erza asked "Isn't it odd for someone to abandon their home like that?"
Fenrir was quick to respond and was glad someone finally had an interesting question "Actually Erza, yes it is odd. The reason why Atmora was abandoned was because due to the weather becoming more cold with the ground being covered in snow and ice, the continent was too inhospitable for plants to grow. Some people think it was a natural occurrence, but I and a few others think it may be something more unnatural. Something foul and evil." Fenrir ended with a darker tone than usual.
"What could it be?" Erza asked
"I have two possible theories. 1: the Kamal of Akavir assaulting Atmora, leaving an after effect of snow and ice 2: A darker force which is yet to be discovered."
Erza wanted to ask about the Kamal and more information about Akavir but didn't want to derail the conversation "What about Yokuda?"
Fenrir only a few words to answer it "It sank"
"What!?" Erza said in shock "how does an entire continent just sink?"
"I have no clue? The only things I know is that it wasn't natural and what's left of it are average sized islands." Fenrir said
"What about Pyandonea? Is it also abandoned?" Erza asked
"That one isn't. Though unlike Akavir, Pyandonea will only attack Summerset due to some sort of grudge against them."
With Fenrir's end the ship fell silent for another few minutes. Natsu was hanging over the side rails throwing up, Erza and Lucy were chatting it up and Gray was sleeping in the crews quarters. Fenrir doing as he needed to, was piloting the ship until night fell.
When nighttime came the anchor was cast and everyone was asleep. Fenrir in his cabin and the others down below. Yet the last thing they expected was a boarding party. Natsu, having extreme motion sickness couldn't sleep like the rest, so he was over the side rails again puking his guts out. Then he heard metal against wood and snapped out of his motion sick state as his eyes shot towards the hook and ladder. Natsu looked down towards the the small boat that carried the ladder and saw at least 12 people ready to board. He detached the hooks which cuased the men to scream and fall. As the boat drifts further away from Fenrir's ship, he shot his fire at the boat and it completely burnt to nothing. Fenrir hearing all the noise rushed out to see what the commotion was. He then got a briefing from Natsu and then woke the rest up. By the time everyone was on the top deck, Natsu reported of two more boats, each with nine people on them coming towards them. Gray shot ice lances at them and the boats split in half.
This time instead of sending more boats out the ship came out of hiding. Black and dark grey hull with even darker sails, and a black flag with a flaming skull on the highest mast. "Pirates" Erza said in a panic. The pirate ship got closer and fired cannons at the Fairy Tail ship, only for the ice sheilds to block the damage and crack slightly.
"I told you shields on a ship were smart!" Fenrir said
"How did they attach the ladders with the shields in the way?!" Gray cried
The pirate ship used chain shot to take out the masts only for Natsu to blast it away.
"Fuck this! Reverse boarding party!" Fenrir said in a war cry "Ready yourselves!"
"You can't be serious!?" Lucy said
"I am very serious! You take my shit I take yours!" Fenrir replied in a rage
Gray was ordered by Fenrir to take out the masts of the enemy ship which he did so perfectly. Gray, again being told to make a bridge to get to the enemy ship, did so without hesitation. The party boarded the enemy ship and the pirates surrendered within one minute of the boarding. The pirates were then tied to the mast as the group took just about everything they had, from food, to water and even valuables. The pirates were released by Erza who got in a heated argument with Fenrir on wether they should unite them or let them starve which Fenrir reluctantly agreed to let them go. And even though the rest went on with the rest of their night, they learned that when Fenrir and Erza argue, it can turn into a fist fight really quickly, one where Fenrir lost.
The next morning
"I can't believe Fenrir lost to Erza." Lucy said
"I can. She's a very terrifying wizard who can takes giant monster by herself." Gray replied
"I know that. But when you hear about how strong his magic is you'd expect him to be strong as well. Even when it comes to someone who's ran with mercenaries before." Lucy said back
"Fair point. But now you know that Erza May just be the strongest wizard in Fairy Tail." Gray said back
"Well you have to admit it was a close match." Lucy said
"True." Gray laughed
Meanwhile Fenrir heard almost everything. He was tired, busy, and humiliated. He just wanted to shut everything out and hopefully find land soon. And soon he did. And by soon, it was at least 4 hours. But not only that, behold it was The Fairy Tail guild hall itself.
"Finally, now I just need somewhere to dock to dock this thing" Fenrir said
Meanwhile the ship can be seen from the guild hall itself. Levy and her team is just staring at it from the distance and it was a decent sized ship in her opinion.
"What the hell is that?" Jet asked
"It's a ship, a ship with our guild mark as its figurehead." Levy said
"And it has shields made of ice" Droy continued
It got closer. And soon they could see a figure standing at the edge of it, it was Gray "Hey! Is there a place we could dock this thing?!"
"I'm not sure?! Just make something out of ice to get here!" Levy said
5 minutes later
"That's all for your punishment? Just a scolding from the old man?" Fenrir asked natsu
"It would have been worse if I didn't explain how many times Natsu threw up on the way here. Gramps thought him getting sea sick and throwing was enough of a punishment in its own way, yet gramps is still looking for some kind of punishment for him" Gray said before Natsu could speak
"Thanks for doing that for me." Natsu said
"We're you punished as well?" Fenrir asked Gray
"Not as bad as him though. Gramps let me explain myself and realized that me getting dragged along was just Natsu kidnapping me, but I was still punished for going along with him." Gray said which gave Natsu a sour face
"And Lucy?" Fenrir went on
"Since she didn't know it was against guild rules she was let off the hook." Gray said
"Alright then. In all honesty, I really need a dock for the ship." Fenrir said with a smirk on his face that was directed towards Makarov. The guild master got what he was thinking of immediately
Some time later
"Come on Natsu, you can do it!" Fenrir said as he sat in the shade with almost all the other guild members
"WHY CANT I GET HELP WITH THIS! GRAY WENT ON THE MISSION TO!" Natsu conplained
"Because you basically kidnapped him" Makarov said with a smirk "So the dock for the guild new ship is being built entirely by you alone"
"The guilds new ship? I thought it was Fenrir's?" Natsu asked
"It was my ship, but after coming to an agreement with the old man here, the ship is now guild property. Meaning since he's the guild master, he now owns it." Fenrir explained. No it wasn't Fenrir's happiest moment, but he wanted to absolutely punish Natsu for making him go on that long and grueling adventure to get him "So hurry up! Sooner we can dock the ship the faster we can unload the cargo!" Fenrir said as Erza, Gray, Elfman, and a few others came out with chests of gold and crates of food, which all the guild members were eyeing.
"How did you get so much loot?" A guild member asked
"There was a storm we waited out. Glad we did or we wouldn't have been able to collect them off the islands we saw." Fenrir said as he continued to watch Natsu suffer
"What about all the gold from your captains quarters?" Levy asked
"Reverse boarding. Some pirates tried to board us so we hit them with their idea, and boarded them. I even got this mug." Fenrir said as he pulled out a golden mug with gems and carvings all over it.
"How much is left?" Gray asked Erza
"A lot, actually." Erza responded
"Why don't you all take a break for awhile and watch this idiot suffer with the rest of us" Fenrir offered which the unloading crew happily took.
Near sundown
"Wow Natsu, you work fast." Fenrir said smiling but actually surprised
"I hate you" Natsu responded with his hands on his knees
"Don't complain about this. What I offered may have actually been a better punishment than what Makarov would have done to you." Fenrir said as Natsu immediately got back to work
1 hour later
"Wow. Done already?" Makarov asked
"What does it look like. Of course I am" Natsu said in between breaths
"I'll let Fenrir know tomorrow. He deserves a night at home. I also heard you left a mess in the captains cabin." Makarov said
"I get motion sickness!"
Fenrir's home
In the basement, the shrine to Hermaeus sits. Glowing, in all its glory.
"So, you made the shrine?" Fenrir asked
"What does it look like!" Valerica shouted with an echo
"Okay. I get your point. Any others?" Fenrir asked as he inspected the shrine
"I'm not sure who should be next?" Valerica states
"Julianos. He is Hermaeus-Mora's polar opposite. He should balance him out." Fenrir said
"How do I make a shrine to him?" Valerica asked
"Normally it would be one of his amulets and two ebony Ingots. But seeing how ebony is nonexistent here we'd have to improvise." Fenrir sated
"Why don't we just do what I did for Hermaeus' shrine, but the exact opposite?" Valerica suggests
"It could work but I'm not sure." Fenrir said "I'll need to sleep on it, in the meantime you think of more ideas" And with that, Fenrir went off, expecting another meeting with Vaermina
Fenrir's dream world
"Welcome back" Vaermina said with pleasure
Fenrir now used to going somewhere in Skyrim was only curious of where he would go now "Where in Skyrim are we going to this time? Winterhold? Solitude?"
"Nowhere." Vaermina said which caught Fenrir off guard slightly "this time let's just sit and talk"
"What do you want from me" was Fenrir's immediate response to the daedric prince as his suspicion now grew
"It's just that, you're starting to make progress in getting home, and I'm willing to tell you how to make my shrine" Vaermina was cut off
"Before I make your shrine, I need to make one to Julianos first. He is needed to Balance out Hermaeus so his power doesn't grow. But if you really want your shrine made, just tell me how to make it and it'll be next" Fenrir offered a deal to her which she accepted, but not entirely happy either.
"Alright then, I agree. Now pull out something to write on and write with because you'll need it to memorize it." Vaermina said as Fenrir conjured up a parchment and quill to write with "Ready? Good. So you'll need 3 poppy flowers, a daedra's heart, two petty soul gems, and my miasma. Since that last one is out of your reach, I offer you this gift." Vaermina handed him a small bottle filled with her miasma and flicked Fenrir away, back to the real world
Waking Fenrir
As Fenrir gets up he can feel a glass like object in his hands, it was the bottle. Fenrir eyed it and walked back downstairs to see Valerica hard at work on the shrine to Julianos
"How's it going?" Fenrir asked
"Well, when I found out I don't know how to do the opposite to Hermaeus' shrine I was confused. At this point I'm just trying whatever works." Valerica said as Fenrir eyed the wooden pyramid with markings and carvings of such. It was well made and let off some sort of magical aura.
"I have an idea." Fenrir said as he casted the magelight spell on it, then courage, then healing hands, then frostbite, and finally a soul trap. "Julianos is the god of magic, therefore using magic on the shrine should work."
Everything went silent again. And soon, I blinding light had entered the room. It drove Valerica out of the basement, but Fenrir stayed and the light died down slightly
"You are a fool to try and reconnect the planes young Dragonborn." The voice said
"Is this Julianos?" Fenrir asked
"Yes, this is him. Why do you allow yourself to be tricked so easily? Never mind that. What is important is that there is no turning back now. You have started a chain of events that cannot be stopped." Julianos told him
"Where have I heard that line before?" Fenrir rhetorically asks
"You have doomed this world, because you let the Daedra sway your desires. What is important now, is that you finish what you have started. I have been given an Elder Scroll by my ancestors. Use it to clean your mess." Julianos said
"Wait, your ancestors?" Fenrir asked
"You have heard of Anu and Padome, yes? The ones who created Nirn?"
"Yeah, what about them?"
"As you know, the Elder Scrolls are artifacts from outside of time. They have always existed, but at the same time never have. Meaning, if the Elder Scrolls are from the far outskirts of time itself, there is someone making them" Julianos explained
"So you're telling me, that there are even more of you, outside of the known universe?" Fenrir asked
"Yes I am. But we have wasted enough time chatting. Get to work, young Dragonborn" Julianos then left, dropping an Elder Scroll on the floor in front of him.
"Is he gone?" Valerica asked
"He's gone, and he gave me an Elder Scroll." Fenrir said "Reading this should help us in how to finish this"
"Well at least it should be easier now" Valerica said as the two walked out of the basement
Celestial realm
"It's Taurus!" A spirit yelled as the two ran to him "He's in a lot of pain right now. I don't know what's wrong?"
"They're coming back." Taurus said as the pain eased up a little "At least it wasn't from Oblivion or that would be worse."
"The pain?" Virgo asked
"No, the situation. The pain is the exact same no matter which side they come from." Taurus said
Lucy's house
"I hope everything's going alright up there." Lucy said to herself
A/N done. That was a mental taxation on my brain and thought process. To all of you reading this, most of the time I just wing the stories with no preplanning ahead. I make it up as I go along. And that's how I made this.
Now I wish you all a nice Day/Night/ Whatever, and an even better rest of your life
