*Really long and IMPORTANT note at the end
Frost's Pov
After the whole Natsu and Lisanna incident, we decided that it would be better to just head back to the hotel before anything else could happen. I sighed as I remembered what Loke had told me on the second day of training.
"What did you need Loke?" I asked the man, Fang by my side as always. We were in a secluded area in the forest we were training in, just to make sure no one would interrupt us this time.
He sighed, holding out his two hands as a bright flash of light appeared, "Here," he said as the bright light died down. He then handed me a black cloak with a hood on it, with white lining.
"I don't get it." I said, after a few seconds of us just staring at each other in silence, Fang's head tilted to the left in confusion, not understanding what was going on.
"The Spirit King specifically told me to hand this to you. Go ahead and guess." He said, putting his hands in his pockets.
I brought the cloak closer to my nose and took a small sniff. I furrowed my eyebrows as I turned to face Loke. "It smells like- well, nothing." Loke smirked at me as he saw my confusion.
"It's a magic restrictor. You're almost at your peak, right?" he asked.
I was taken aback. Loke was never 'Wolf Slayer' smart, how the hell did he know what a strength peak was?
"That cloak hides scent and magic presence. The King's worried that you might suffocate people on accident if you forget to hold back your presence." He gave me a worried look and continued, "You're going for the GMG soon and Fairy Tail will be there and I don't think you would want them to know it's you."
I couldn't help but smile at his concern. I hugged him and whispered a thank you before trying the cloak on for size. It fit perfectly and it covered my silver and blue eyes. I went to a nearby river, looking at my reflection. My hood shadowed my eyes, making my blue eye look a few tomes darker than my silver one, both eyes shining in contrast with the darkness under the hood.
Loke had left in this time and left me with Fang and my new cloak.
I now sat on one of the hotel beds as I looked at the wall clock in the room. 11:57PM. I stood up, walking to where I had hung my cloak in the room and grabbed it, smoothly put it on, Fang following my every step.
'Fang, go.' I huffed out with ease, my memory of the Wolf Tongue slowly coming to me as the language became easier as time passed.
"Okay!" He complied as his ears folded back a little and his head slightly tilted down in submission. To wolves, what pack leader says, goes.
He went off and out of the room as I opened the door for him. Only mages in the teams selected were allowed in any event, fight, anything. I had early since told Orga to stick by Fang and vice versa.
I knocked on the boys' door before entering immediately.
"Aw, you're wearing our cloak?" Stingy Bee pouted, poking my shoulder in the process.
"I'd rather you not." Rogie said, averting everyone's gaze.
I just chuckled at them and shook my head. They were always against my cloak and always complaining that they couldn't see my eyes, especially the always whining Bumble Bee.
I saw Rufus smirk a little at them before another hologram appeared and the same voice from before announced, "Welcome, guilds of all kinds-kabo! The first event will be 'Tunnel Experience'! First, you must all survive this fall-kabo!"
The ground below us immediately turned brittle the moment he had said 'survive'. As the floor gave out, we were all taken by surprise and we were falling headfirst below us.
Priorities, priorities! I screamed mentally at myself, flipping myself right side up and used air to force me towards Yuki-chan, catching her and readjusted myself again. I looked down and saw that the floor was made of earth. Perfect. I made the earth under us slightly softer beneath our team right as we landed.
No One's Pov
As the dust cleared, all the members of Sabertooth were either standing or knelt down with one hand on the ground, supporting their body weight, while Frost stood with Yukino in her arms, carrying her like a prince would with his princess.
"Teams that were not able to land on their feet were immediately disqualified! Those who are left must now find the exit! Only the first 8 teams will move on-kabo! You'll know it's the exit because I'll be here with the other judges-kabo! Good luck!"
"Ne, are you okay, Yuki-chan?" She asked her, setting her down and scrutinizing her head to toe while also turning the ground back to normal.
"I-I'm fine, Frost-chan. Thank you!" She exclaimed, bowing lowly.
"H-hey, there's no need for that now," Frost said hurriedly, and shaking her head. "Let's just get out of here."
The area they had fell onto only had one way to go and that was in front of them, but it was split into 3 different tunnels. Frost remembered that the announcer said he would be with the other judges. If this were really a confusing maze, it would most likely take a while for the teams to show. In other words, he would be bored and surely converse with the other judges.
Everyone seemed to have realized that Frost was thinking and looked at her expectantly, her hood now down due to the fall. They watched as her ears twitched, which they all practically died on the inside at how adorable it looked, and she said to them, "Follow me." She put her hood back up and ran off, her team trailing behind her.
Many right and left turns later, they ended up in a room with lights hanging down from the ceiling and a short man with a pumpkin on his head talking with two other men.
"E-EH?" the man was surprised at how fast they had completed the maze. He seemed to clear his throat and continued, "Welcome, mages of Sabertooth! Congratulations-kabo! You are the first team to make it here-kabo!" He smiled at them with his pumpkin head and introduced himself to them. "I'm Mato! And they're Chapati and Yajima! We're the judges-kabo!"
They were then told to go back to their hotel rooms to rest for the next day's events. But it really wasn't as if they needed it.
And while everyone was sound asleep, Frost sat by the edge of her bed, staring at the palm of her hand, which had a small white star that had appeared the day before. She sighed and traced its edges with her free finger. She knew her peak was close.
And man, was she excited.

Congratz on getting the song right! ^^ I'll just tell you what I told my school friends. I don't want to bring in more people than necessary :/ I'll just end up making someone sad when I'm sad, and I don't want that, so for now I'll keep my mouth shut. But if you really wanna know, I was thinking of starting a story and be more honest with my readers. But I'm not entirely sure yet, so I'll see how it goes.
I hope you know understand why her eyes were 'silver' in the last chapter! Hope it wasn't too confusing! Hehe thanks! I came up with it on the spot cuz I was rushing and I was worried it wasn't a good line, so I'm glad you like it XD
~The Writer Of FanFiction

But what can ya do right? Also, congratz for guessing the song right! Hope you'll like the chapters to come!
~XxX12KeysXxX
Good guess! But it was 'Me' by The 1975. You should go listen to it! Well, maybe not that song cuz it's a little depressing, but listen to one of their songs at least. They're really good!
~samira vangola
And that I did do!
~stormbringer9001
Yerpidoodles. ;) And I like your profile picture!
NOTE!
1st thing.
~So I am REALLY tired. I have not slept for 32 hours. Why? Because every time I try to close my eyes, I see my childhood nightmares. They haunt my dreams. The same two visions repeatedly go on and I cant help but cry my eyes out when I see them.
And what makes it worse, is the next day I went to school, I could NOT stop crying. The teachers noticed and told me to go home. Since I had nothing to do, I decided to write this. And also because I knew that I was the most creative when I was tired and sleep deprived. So this happened.
2nd thing.
~if you can, please follow my FF twitter! It would be amazing if majority of you guys could follow and will be updated whenever I'm working on a chapter or a chapter is about to be posted! And I'll notify you guys when I need help with a chapter and give credits cuz I'm weird like that. So if you can, follow SoraNekoRyu and once you do, pm me your FF name and I'll try to remember it!
SONG TIME! GUESS GUESS GUESS GUESS AWAY!
We are professional ashes of roses
This kerosene's live
You settled the score
This is where you come to beg, unborn and unshaven
Killing fields of fire to a congress of ravens
This is what we do, baby, we nightmare you
I'm about to make you sweat roll backwards
And your heart beat in reverse
Our guts can't be reworked
As alone as a little white church
In the middle of the desert getting burned
But I'll take your heart served up two ways
I sing a bitter song
I'm the lonelier version of you
I just don't know where it went wrong
-Sora
