Part II Preview
"There are many illusions in this world…"
(|)
Natsu stepped out onto the balcony, as he looked over the expanse of Lothern….
(|)
Lucy walked through a hall, as she ran her hands of the Lizardmen symbols and carvings….
(|)
"Some of these illusions are small, like the moon in the pond…"
(|)
Juvia held up a torch to the hieroglyphs of Nehekhara, which showed Settra atop his chariot…
(|)
Gray climbed over a hill to look over the city of Altdorf, before staring down towards it…
(|)
"Other illusions are great, like the claimed power of a throne…"
(|)
Erza knelt, as a sword tapped onto her shoulder…
(|)
Malekith offered an armored hand to Mirajane, who looked at it in silence…
(|)
"…. but the greatest illusion is that of control.…"
(|)
Wendy looked up at the Oak of Ages, as she slowly advanced towards it…
(|)
Cana stood on a bridge, and looked over a dark, fogged land in the distance…
(|)
"…. because no matter how hard humans try…"
(|)
Lucy closed her eyes and held up her arms, as she waded into a green pool…
(|)
Mirajane cracked her neck, as a dark aura flared up around….
(|)
Gray put his hands together, as a cold mist gathered around his hands…
(|)
"… change always comes," Sarthorael said to Mavis.
(|)
Lucy leapt into the air in her Scorpio Star Dress as a carnosaur lunged at her…
(|)
Natsu roared as he spat a cloud of fire into the air…
(|)
Cana flipped through several cards, a grim look on her face, before frustratingly slamming her hands over them…
(|)
Juvia curtsied before the throne of Settra, kissing the Blessed Blade of Ptra…
(|)
"I can't do it!" Wendy said, "I can't cause anyone pain!"
"In this world," Durthu answered, "You either endure the pain, or you inflict it. There is no middle ground."
(|)
"Will you fight with me?!"
"WWAAAAGGHH!"
(|)
"Our time has come again," Finubar said holding up his fist, "It is time we acted upon it."
(|)
Erza cringed, as she dove under a strike from a minotaur's axe…
(|)
"I will not stand idle, as time and ruin causes my empire to crumble!" Settra declared, slamming his fist on the table.
(|)
Gray removed his shirt, as he was faced down a Bright Wizard…
(|)
"Our purpose is to fulfill the Great Plan," Aka'Rar said, "That is all that matters."
"Does it now?"
(|)
"You cannot underestimate the importance of the old way."
"That's really easy when you're not the one terrorized by the old way!" Cana snapped.
(|)
Wendy braced herself as a cygor reared over her…
Next month…
(|)
Erza looked into the distance, as she saw the Green Knight looking over her…
(|)
Mirajane held up her fist, and struck Malekith straight in the face…
(|)
Natsu stood before the smoke, as a pair of glowing eyes burned through the haze. The smoke parted, revealing a dragon as it opened its wings, and roared to the sky.
…change begins…
I said I'd do a preview if the urge hit me.
