Chapter 12

Dead Master stood in the clearing, alone. Everyone had already left, even Gryphon's Eye, heading off to some place Dead Master didn't feel like following them to.

As always, she was lonely. In the otherworld she had Yomi and her skulls, but Yomi didn't know she existed and her skulls were just weapons. They couldn't talk. Imagine loving someone so much that you'd die for them, but they would never know your name. That was the pain Dead Master had to go through everyday. Same as all the otherworlders.

So now, alone, she thought about how easy Gryphon's Eye changed their idea and personality from unemotional to caring. How they all listen to a small Fairy Tail girl. How the Fioran guilds just watched. Gryphon's Eyes must have been acting in the beginning, but why?

"Good girl." a voice came from the shadows.

Dead Master drew her Dead Scythe and wheeled around.

Dragon Slayer.

"What do you mean?" Dead Master asked, readying her scythe.

"I can read people's minds you know. I have knowledge of magic." Dragon Slayer answered. "And they were acting. Also, no one else noticed it. Fiorans are too dumb, and the other otherworlders? Well, they won't be thinking for themselves for a little while."

"What have you done?" Dead Master said, widening her eyes.

"Oh, only opened the gate into this world and sucked all of the nearby otherworlders into it." Dragon Slayer said calmly.

"Why?" Dead Master whispered.

"Oh, just an trial, the real thing is getting everyone back. After, I sever their ties to their other selves."

Dead Master backed away, "I don't understand."

"I'm sure you do. All the otherworlders not having to obey our other selves. Freedom for us. You wouldn't be connected to Yomi, BRS to Mato, Strength to Yuu, Mikata to Black Matagi, Akame to Black Devil Girl, Saya to Black Gold Saw. Understand now?" Dragon Slayer said sneering.

"You're crazy."

"No, just just."

"Just just? Quit repeating yourself." Came a new voice from above.

Dead Master looked up. A giant black dragon hovered above her, silver scales littered it's jet black sea. "This is my pet dragon I brought from the otherworld. His name is Lionak."

Dead Master backed up near to the trees.

"Oh, no, you can't escape. We told you everything, and you can't rant about it can you?" Dragon Slayer sneered. "Well, you might have been able to, but now? Hardly."
