Powers combined- yours and mine

A/N: I know it's late guys, I'm sorry, I had the NLD trials for rugby. Also I won't be uploading a chapter next week because I'll be at j-con in derby all weekend.

Chapter 14– The Announcements and a creepy visitor.

Lucy's POV

Master was stood on a podium created in front of the different guilds' quarters, ready to announce what lay in store for us at the trials and to announce about me…. This was the one thing I was worrying most about. As the different guilds started gathering around, I started to shuffle my feet in anxiety at their reaction. But I spotted Natsu somewhere close by so I trained my focus on him.

I noticed everything now with the enhanced senses. I could hear nearly all the conversations going off, I could smell the different emotion roiling through the air. But most of all I could see a lot clearly, and in more detail than I had been able to before we left for extraho regnum. This meant I could see every contour and movement he made; I could hear his laughter ringing out through the courtyard; and I could sense his unease on the upcoming war, knowing I was to lead on the front lines.

Master cleared his throat, signalling everyone to be quiet in preparation for the announcements, and as he began to speak, I began to try and hide myself behind the other S-class, failing when both Mira and Erza grabbed my arms smiling. "Alright brats, you all know now that Zeref has begun to make his move, and that several guilds have already been attacked because of it. I am here to tell you of the trail you shall all undergo and of a member of our guild, who has been approved of by master mavis, to become an S-class mage without a trial. This one person is the one that will lead us to battle on the front lines, and has mastered every dragon slayer magic."

There were a lot of mumbles coming from the other guilds and some just stood looking proud and knowing who it was. "Lucy Heartfilia, the one who defeated our strongest member Gildarts by using only sixty percent of her strength." There was uproar of congratulations as I was put centre stage for all to marvel at. What surprised me the most was that even the council members and wizard saints were giving me respect.

I accepted them blushing before master called for silence again. The area quietened down and he continued speaking, "now, about the trials. For the first test, you will all be disguised as regular humans who don't own magic, including all S-class mages. You will then need to figure out who is a mage and who isn't in magnolia. After that, you will need to call them out to a battle. The victor will be put back into the game, with sufficient time to hide themselves through invisibility magic, and continue. The aim is to test both intelligence and fighting skills. You will be woken up in the morning to get your magic disguises; in the form of a small charm you may place anywhere. Now, brats go and sleep and prepare for tough times ahead"

The assembled masses dispersed to their separate dorms, but Natsu was stood waiting for me. I walked him to him, smiling teasingly. "You know you need to be in a separate room to everyone else, right? This means that you can't sleep in my bed tonight." I run and lock the door behind me giggling at his frustration as he gave up and went to his assigned room. I sighed and stretched, whilst walking over to the bed and laying down on it. It wasn't as comfy as my one back home, but it would do for a few nights. I lay down and thought over what my disguise would be, and the separate rules that were given to all S-class mages. We were not to initiate combat, or point the finger, but if we were recognised, we weren't allowed to make alliances or hold back too much that it makes it easy for them. I had no problems with the extra rules as I knew that I wouldn't look for a fight anyway, but I was worried about Erza and her cakes. Natsu would know that Erza would hide somewhere they serve cakes and purposefully aim to get her out first.

I sighed again and closed my eyes, until I sensed something move. There was a shadow seeping out from the corner and progressing towards the bed, so I used my light magic to illuminate the room enough to force the figure out of the shadows and reveal him. There stood, a tall man with half white and half black hair, as well as one blue and one red eye. I knew who he was from that simple description, as the first master had warned me of Zeref freeing him.

She knew he'd come to me to try and coerce me to the darkness, and my job was simply to resist and attempt to get him on our side. Instead of making a move, he smiled slightly and said simply, "hi." I was struck speechless at the fact that the dark mages son had 'popped in to say hello' to me. He chuckled and sat in the corner, away from me, as my magic started to go a little out of control.

"So you're the dragon girl my father mentioned?" at the word father I scowled, but nodded nonetheless. He just smiled again and dissipated into beams of light, before shooting out beneath the door. Thoroughly weirded out, I called Lyra to sing me a lullaby to help me sleep. She sang about the dragons and the stars, and I fell asleep with a smile on my face and happy tears in my eyes.

Xavier's POV

I had just been to the dragon girl's room, and now I was sat in my father's castle, in the great library built there. I had opened a book, but was not currently reading it, as I couldn't get my mind off of the beautiful girl's image. I shook my head in an attempt to clear the thoughts, but I could not seem to rid myself of them. Instead I pulled out a sketch pad and pencil, and set about to drawing. At first it was fine, but gradually, the picture turned into her, and I stared at it. Feeling disgruntled, I tucked the picture into the book and placed it back on the shelf. The book in question was one created by my father. It used magic that negated the strongest of bonds between mortals and removed them completely. I wanted the girl touched by the magic of the ancients to be mine. And I wouldn't stop until I had her. Even if that meant rebelling against my father, but….. I just can't stray my thoughts from her. Ever since she had closed her eyes, I had begun noticing things about her, that attracted my whole being. The first thing to do would be to keep the fire breather away from her. Then, she would be ripe for my picking.
