Hiya! THIS IS NOT AN APRIL FOOLS JOKE, THIS IS ACTUALLY ANOTHER CHAPTER! Now that I think about it, saying that kinda makes it sound as if it is an April Fools joke. Oh well, I'll live. And yes, I feel like I rushed it a bit but oh well, it is as it is and I hope you like it because next chapter will be a little stressful on how to write. Thanks for those who reviewed, favorite, and followed! Please leave a review and favorite! Farewell and Enjoy!

ME NO OWN FAIRY TAIL
Summer's Eye
They had been searching in the forest for a week and three days and still came up with nothing but trees, trees, and look! More trees! They stopped occasionally stopped for rest but other than that they were walking and searching for anything that could hold the Summer's Eye. And just to their luck, it seemed nothing held the Summer's Eye. Hurray…
Gray was ready to tear his hair out from his head because they only had two days left until it was game over and they would have no chance in getting back Natsu. He could not have that! He would not let Vincent have his way! He will win and then kill Vincent because no one deserved death any more than Vincent! I mean, really, he isn't a very nice guy. He's a mean sadistic guy that deserves to die by Gray's hand. He even licked Natsu's cheek! Think of the germs he could've given her! I mean him.
Gray would've continued with his angry, frustrated thoughts if it wasn't for the annoying twins he had nicknamed "The Devil's Spawns" in his head, squeal loudly in excitement followed by Umi and Hiroi smiling widely.
"What is it?" Erza asked when she noticed that the four had stopped to stare at whatever caught their attention, but all the others could see was a plain cave with weird markings carved into it.
"It's the ancient cave that sheltered Zuroc! In our land he was a genius military general from around a thousand years ago! He was also the tenth and favorite son of the king Huric Dan Kurlq, but when he died his older brother Vin Lurt took control and he hated Zuroc because he was always in the king's favor. So he exiled him from the country and Zuroc came here with some of his well trusted men and stayed in this cave which we call "Yumiir Di Orcl" which means "The Casted One's Holder" in the ancient language, and stayed here for five years until he gathered a large enough army from the surrounding villages and towns and charged all the way back to our home land, which takes three months to reach on foot. The battle was only three days where Zuroc's army literally crushed Vin Lurt's army and took control. Zuroc's other eight brothers who were also hated him and followed Vin Lurt's every order was executed along with Vin Lurt on the same day they took control of Huriin, our home land." Hiroi explained with pride in her voice.
"He is well respected even today because of all the things he did to improve the lifestyle of the people and generations to come. He's a hero amongst our people and we hold a celebration for him every year on his birthday." Umi added.
"Umi-chan! We have to go take a look! It's not every day you get to see Yumiir Di Orcl!" both twins whined as they grabbed ahold of both of her arms and tugged at it like little children begging their mother to buy them candy. Umi didn't look like she was going to object at all at the idea and looked just as excited about it as the twins were but was keeping it in check.
"Of course we're going to check it out!" she said, both twins squealing in excitement as they literally dragged a willing Umi behind them and into the cave. Hiroi looked to the others, her eyes screaming that she wanted to follow but she did not.
"Well, shall we go or are you all going to wait here all day catching flies?" she asked with a raised eyebrow, brushing some frizzy hair out of her eyes. Erza smiled as she looked over at Lucy and Gray, then at Hiroi with a small nod.
"It would be nice to see such historical structure. I cannot simply let this pass by us when we have a good opportunity." she said. Hiroi nodded and practically ran into the cave after her friends while Lucy picked up Happy to hold him in her arms, her, Erza, and Gray following in a much reserved pace.
Once inside Gray noted all the carvings on the walls which he noticed that they did look like some military stuff along with other stuff in the cave. He was deeply amused when he would occasional squeals of excitement coming from up ahead of him by every single thing the twins and Umi caught sight of.
The amusement soon turned to confusion when they went in deeper and the lighting started to dim until darkness evaded their vision. How can they still see? He thought to himself only for that thought to be washed away when he saw light up ahead.
He slowly started to quicken his pace to see what it was especially when the squeals had stopped, Erza and Lucy following in his lead to do the same.
It was suddenly clear as to why the cave had light when part of it didn't and why the squeals of excitement stopped. It was all because of a large red/orange glowing gem that sat on a rock-like stand in the middle of a large drop off with only eight small passage ways to led to it, four already crumbled and gone so really four passage ways. Gray didn't need to ask what the gem was because Umi had already muttered it loud enough for the others to hear.
"The Summer's Eye…"
