So, we've reached chapter 21. I'd say we've come quite a long way from the beginning wouldn't you say?
I must admit that this story has surprised me in a few entertaining but unexpected ways. I guess I have to thank my Co-Author for that.
~someguy2283!

So, we got nothing left to say right now, so enjoy chapter 21!
"hey gramps, can you do me a quick favor?" I know that Fairy Tail mages don't kill under any circumstance. I think if I ask too, he might do it for me.
"sure, what do you need help with?" he didn't seem to know what I was about to ask him. Which scared me more than anything.
"I would really appreciate it if you could kill me right now."
(Nalo PoV)
I probably should have put more thought into that last request. Because after I asked him to do that, Gramps just started yelling at me. Saying something about how Fairy Tail doesn't kill anyone. Honestly, that statement is ingrained into me by now. But I still couldn't help but laugh hearing it from him. This is exactly why I call Fairy Tail my home.
On the other hand, my request was happily obliged by Guildarts who also happened to be an examiner for this exam. With just one clean punch he not only killed me, but actually managed to make it painless as well. I have to say I really do prefer painless deaths it makes things easier.
(Guildarts PoV)
I had heard tales of the supposedly unkillable Nalo. Mainly from that Rose girl, she would go off about how she saw him die in Erza's arms. Only to return from the grave sometime later and destroy that dark guild, "shadow rip" I believe their name was. Apparently, He managed to beat their leader with only one attack. Kind of an impressive feat if you ask me. He might become another Ace in Fairy Tail's hand, if he keeps this up.
So, who could blame me for wanting to see if what I heard was true or not? I doubt He'd care, since he was asking to die in the first place. Apparently, Rose's statement was somewhat correct, because as soon I he hit that rock he started disappearing into thin air. Mouthing a "Thank you" in the process. It was funny in a way, I never knew someone who died like that.

Just as we planned. We came across the racers about half way through. It surprised me that Laxus wasn't in the lead but I guess it make it easier on us.
"I got Rose you get Cana" I jumped out of the bush I was hiding in, startling Rose. This is going to be easy. All she does is blow snow in our face. What harm can she do?
"I won't let you pa-" I was cut off when a snowball hit my face. By the time I wiped the snow away Rose was making a run for it. Activating my satan soul, I easily caught up to her and pinned her to the ground. "Why are you even here? I thought you don't want to be an S-Class?"
"I never said I didn't want to be an S-Class... I just don't like them" She kicked me off of her and we started to circle each other. "I know the only reason you are here is to be closer to Nalo" Out of everything she has ever said to me that comment just made me so mad.
"I don't care about that idiot, and besides don't you like him. I see the way you look at him?" Even though it hurt to say it if she did like Nalo there was no way I could compete. She made the first move and through a punch at me which I easily dodged. I noticed she was smiling. Why was she smiling? Realization suddenly hit me. Her hands were in the same position as grays when he is ready to shoot a spell.
"Snow Make: Shooting Stars" A bunch of star shaped snow flew at me. Surprisingly, they hurt a lot. It felt like Grey's Ice-make magic. "Nalo is like a brother to me. He was the only one who actually decided to get to know me, besides I know you like him so why would I get in the way. Even if we aren't friends, I wouldn't want to destroy your chances." My chances? What did she mean by that? It doesn't matter now anyway. We have a fight to finish.
(Nalo PoV)
So here I am, back in the waiting room of the Atherial council. That maiden is still there, Virgo I believe her name was. Although I'm not completely positive on that, I know she's one of the Zodiac spirits. But does she have a contract with anyone yet? That's not my place to ask, all that matters now is why I'm here in the first place.
It took a little while before I was allowed in, which kind of bothered me for some reason. Normally if you would call someone you would be ready for them by the time they arrived. At least that's something Makarov taught me.
"Ah, I see your back, wonderful!" the chairman seemed a bit more enthusiastic than normal. I wonder what's causing it, did something happen to him that would make him like that?
"I got the call and came here as fast as I could. It's Kind of hard to get someone to kill you while you're in the middle of an S-class exam just so you know. Thanks for that by the way."
(Makarov PoV)
Why did Guildarts just kill him! especially while I was explaining no killing rule! He's going to a stern talking to when this is over.
"Relax master, he won't stay dead for long. In fact, I'm willing to bet that he comes back by the end of the day. What do you think?" what does he mean by that? I heard that he died and came back, but stuff like that should be impossible. I didn't believe it then, and I don't believe it now. Stuff like that is impossible.
(Nalo PoV)
"So, the reason we called you here is because we noticed a large spike in demonic energy in the area by Clover town. Would you mind taking a look for us once you're free? I know that the S-class exams are a priority at the moment." Clover town, that's quite a distance away from Magnolia. But that shouldn't be hard to do, if it's just a scouting mission.
"that shouldn't be a problem. Also, I noticed a dark presence on Tenrou Island. It wasn't big so I just left it alone then. Would it be possible for me to gain permission to investigate it by chance?" Thinking about it, I was starting to get curious as to what it was exactly. The sadness that I also felt, was what really got me interested in it.
"Yeah, go ahead and take a look. Tell us what you find afterwards ok?" This was going to get interesting that's for sure. Not only do they want me to investigate the Clover region, but they're also giving me permission to take a look at Tenrou. I think I'll start with Tenrou Island first before I continue on to Clover.
Having wished the council members the best, I made my way back towards the mortal plane. More specifically Earth Land as we call it. Names such as that bore me, but I get why we do stuff like that. Having not only to maintain balance between all the planes, but try and stop a war threating the existence of almost everything can get tiring.
(Makarov PoV)
I couldn't believe what was going on, I was tending to a fire preparing the camp for the return of the competitors. When a blinding flash of light erupted of out nowhere. "Nalo?!"
"Sorry, master I had to talk with someone." I couldn't believe it I watched him die with my own eyes. How did he come back to life?
"So, the rumors I heard were true" Gildarts who had been sitting quietly in a chair finally stood up and moved over to Nalo. "To be honest if you didn't come back the old man would have killed me."
"Yeah, well thanks for doing that, I appreciate it." I was still shocked; how could Nalo thank someone who just killed him.
"Hold on a second, you said you had to talk to someone, why would you have to die to talk to them?" Nalo was always a strange kid but that was to be expected of someone who grew up without a real family. Fairy Tail may be his family now, but you got to wonder where his real parents are? If they even care about him.
"It's a long story, which I will tell you later, I have to go check something" Nalo walked off, leaving me and Gildarts with questions that hadn't been answered. I looked at the clock. Two and a half hours left, I wonder who will finish the race.
(Nalo PoV)
That dark presence was getting closer, I'm certain of that much. What's more interesting that it's around the same area that the old Red Lizard guild hall is. This is Mavis's stomping grounds, why would she let someone with that much dark energy reside here?
It wasn't long before I found him, in the exact same spot where I have been meditating these past few days. He seemed peaceful and happy there, but there had to be more to it. No one with that much dark power ever feels happy.
Then it hits me, all of those dark guilds had one thing in common. They all saw one person as the key to their supposed salvation. That person went only by the name of Zeref. So, it had to be him the dark energy almost confirms it.
"Are you the one that all the dark guilds refer to as Zeref? If so you got a lot of explaining to do as to why you're on Tenrou Island."
I hope you enjoyed. Reviews are welcome :P
~JaneGriffin
I would say that things are starting to get rather interesting now that Zeref is here wouldn't you agree? So as Jane mentioned before the chapter that season 9 will be coming out. I'm just as excited as she is.
