Hello, guys! First of all, I think some of you forgot (and maybe it's my fault too bc Irene is kindaaaaaa super OOC here, ehem) that Irene Belserion is an evil and sadistic person. She is someone who brings despair. And she has been for years, even decades, sure she might show some soft spots but the bigger part of her screams evil. Secondly, I'd like to apologize because of the late update, something just came up. Oh, and guys, please do write what you think about this story so far :) It helps improving the plot X)

Enjoy :) R&R!

And also, I believe there's a rant coming up for this week's update. Just skip this part. And yeah, you'll see glimpses of swearings and stuffs when you do so, err sorry.

!DANGER LIES AHEAD!

Irene was surprised on the outcome of the earlier event. Erza was supposed to leave and she'll continue the next step of their plan, but it was not what she expected. Nevertheless, she was satisfied that Erza is staying with her.

She had long since decided she would keep the girl back on the empire or their current headquarters until the war was over. But their plan isn't successful yet, she needs Erza to stay with her forever. And that means she needs not to go back to Fairy Tail.

The younger redhead was staying on the library, probably looking for a spell to restore her magic. Irene feels a little bad for Erza, seeing she's working hard to find a way to do so. She could restore her magic, yes, but there's no reassurance she won't go back and participate in the war. And so, Irene has to harden her heart. It's for Erza's sake, she thought.

A sleeping drug would do. The high enchanter and the Emperor already discussed that the fairy would be kept in their clutches, and to be protected from the other Spriggans. Thankfully, they didn't objected or anything. It was a gift Zeref gave to her, being able to have Erza in the Alvarez when the war is over.

Despite all that, it wouldn't happen if her dear Erza won't stay with her, won't it?


Having eaten twelve cakes already, Erza would say she's perfectly happy. That is, until she remembered that she's currently magicless and useless for the guild war. Which is something hard to forget, seeing she's surrounded with different types of books about magic.

Setting the fork down, she then grabbed her coffee and drank. It's been five hours or so since she went on the library, and still she couldn't find anything. It's as if someone made sure she won't find anything, she grumbled.

Erza looked at the thick violet leather bound book on her left and grabbed it. Healing Remedies, huh? She opened the book and searched in the bibliography for any terms or words that is close to her situation.

Restoring magic, pg. 667 her eyes widened, no way. Did she just spent five hours reading those other books and suffering just to se this phrase that is not just close and similar, but exactly what she's looking for. So, did she? Yes she did.

Immediately turning to the page, Erza grinned. There's a whole lot other sections on the chapter, but she's determined to find the right thing for her situation. Reading past the others, she nearly squealed in delight when she found the term bomb.

The requip mage immediately took her notepad and scribbled the ingredients:

four sprigs of lavender, six measures of herbs with magical components, two blobs of Flobberworm mucus, and four valerian sprigs.

Erza was more than happy that she recognized three of the four ingredients can be bought from the shops in the town. The valerian sprigs, she's afraid, she has to find on her own.

She then went and returned the books she used with a happy expression, finally when time has come she can go back to her guild and help. That is, until she implements her plan.

Looking at the a particular window on the inn, she sighed and started to gather the ingredients. Little did she know, the pages on the book she just read changed back to its real context.


Irene sensed Erza leaving the town's border and smiled, so her plan had succeeded. She then went to the requip mage's room and decided to pack her belongings. 'You're going back with me, Erza.' She thought.

The redhead then approached an already packed satchel with little surprise. So she had thought of leaving me, she thought. Irene then carried the satchel and went to the door, only to be surprised when she felt vibrations on it. Immediately, she opened it and saw a compact communication lacrima.

The high enchanter was confused for a moment, but then let out a little 'tsk. No doubt it's Erza's guildmate trying to contact her. She then answered it.

"Hey Erza, Levy-chan found a way to restore your magic. The Shadow Gear isn't too busy so they'll come for you, just send us your location again."

Oh, so her dear Erza had told them about her situation huh?

Irene sighed inaudibly and tried to add curiosity on her voice,

"Hello, who is this?"

The person on the line paused, "Um, this is Lucy, Lucy Heartfilia. Erza's guildmate, you must be the woman who took care of her?"

"That must be me," Irene then smirked, "are you looking for Erza?"

"Oh, yes! We found a way to restore her magic, and we're wondering about her, or your, location so we can can help her."

"There's actually no need anymore."

Lucy was surprised, "Uh, what do you mean Ma'am?"

"Erza found a way to restore her magic, I believe you're just going to waste time to travel towards here."

Lucy then faltered, she then gave the lacrima to its owner.

"Is that so, Ma'am? Then if you may, please tell Erza that when she comes back here at once, we're going to take back our guild and the First."

Irene rose her eyebrow in amusement, so that's the fairies' plan huh? She suddenly remembered Mavis, the First of the Fairy Tail, in the Emperor's clutches. Probably just leaving her locked up or letting her see the blood spilled of her guild. Nonetheless, she doesn't care.

"That is, if she'll ever go back." Irene whispered and smirked as she saw, from her summoned Eye in the sky, the expressions from the people who heard her almost inaudible whisper.

"Did you say som-"

Irene then threw the lacrima on the floor, stepped her heel on it and watched it smashed into thousand pieces.

She will make sure she won't lose Erza, ever again.


Erza is in the middle of a field, surrounded with different kinds of herbs and plants. She was about to pick sprigs of valerian when she noticed there were three military trucks heading towards near Paccundol. Her fear was confirmed when she saw the flag of Alvarez on it.

"Shit! I'm currently powerless, only have a dagger with, miles away from safety, and there are three troops of soldiers. Oh great."

When she saw the military trucks venturing a little towards west, she immediately run swiftly until she reached the town.

Erza then went towards an alchemy station and proceeded to brew her potion. She needs to hurry so that she could warn Irene about the troops and so she could restore her magic. She then pour the mixture into a bottle and smiled, it's done.

The mage then went towards the inn and tried to locate the other redhead, but then noticed the door of her room was slightly ajar. Erza entered and saw her shattered lacrima on the floor. Her heart sped up when she picked up the scent of Irene on the room.

Forcing herself to calm down, she then went to Irene's room. Surprised that she wasn't in the room, she decided to wait for her.

Fifteen minutes have passed when Irene finally came back.

"Oh, Erza, where have you been?"

Erza then narrowed her eyes a little and asked, "Where have you been?"

She saw a hint of surprise on the woman's eyes but it disappeared when she blinked, "I was just out. Now, about my question."

"Oh, well, you see," Erza then showed her the flask containing the potion, "I actually brewed a restoring potion so I could restore my magic back."

Irene narrowed her eyes at the girl, "And for what reason?"

"So I could help eliminate the enemies of my guild."

The Spriggan then fingered her braid, "I thought you were going to stay with me, whatever might have happened?"

Erza then smiled with little emotion on her eyes, "I was actually going to stay with you. Of course, temporarily, since I have to go back for my guild."

And suddenly, the requip mage brought her weapon and pinned the high enchanter to the wall with the blade of the dagger pressed on her throat.

"That is, until I realized the enemy was with me all along."
