Hello people of the internet I have written another story for ye

this is chapter 5! crazy stuff right? well, I made this one extra long so I hope you all enjoy it!

there is going to be a small Erza Pov at the end because I'm going to start doing little skips on her part in the future due to her already being about a month ahead of time and now a year ahead of Alex which is wonky I know but I want to get past it as soon as possible to focus on the cool guy Alexander and without further adieu

"Brother of Scarlet"

Chapter 5 My Magic...

P.S I don't own Fairy Tail because I'm not Flexible enough

Alex Pov

The next day arrives and it's time to keep moving on the road

'Well, this is going to suck..' I thought staring at the great sword in front of me just lying there on the ground.

"Cmon pick it up we don't have all day," Tomas said pushing me forwards.

"But it's like 30 pounds…" I said still not moving

"Alexander pick it up if you want to come with us otherwise you're on your own," he said giving me another push forwards.

I made my way over to the great sword begrudgingly 'damn this old man is going to kill me with his training.'

As I lifted the sword onto my back with a sling, I knew how much this was going to suck but I guess I vastly underestimated how exhausting this would be. As we started off on our journey I could hardly keep up with the pace they were setting which was just a casual walk.

"Hey!" I started "Wait up I'm kind of carrying a heavy load here and I don't want to be left behind."

"Sorry kid," Fay said, "but we're on a time limit here and we have to be in the next town in the next 6 days so you better keep up your pace." She said still walking forwards

"Don't worry we will wait for you during nightfall" responded Tomas with a smirk

'Damn it I knew that old man was trying to kill me.' I thought still walking on

Time went by fast for me thinking I was going to die from exhaustion but thankfully I never did. Although I did get left behind quite often only making it somewhat close to them during a short rest but soon after they just keep walking on leaving me in their dust. I fell often and struggled to keep going but as nightfall came I could see them up ahead sitting around a fire just talking with each other.

As I saw them with only two tents pitched my stomach nearly had a violent reaction.

'Bastards' I thought. 'I've been carrying this all day constantly falling behind tripping and I can hardly do anything else right now but keep walking and they expect me to set up a tent!'22

As I finally reached them I collapsed from exhaustion just lying there on the ground sword still slung upon my back face first in the dirt.

"Come now young Alexander it's time for dinner and you have yet to set up your tent," Tomas said handing me a cup of beans.

"And you have yet to drink more of the medicine I've prepared for you," Fay said sweetly

'S-shit' I thought.

The next day arrives and I had to repeat the process all over again after missing last night's magic training I was in for hell.

"Well, well look who finally got up," Fay said looking at me with a smile

"What do you mean" I started "you're the one who kept shaking my tent and it's so early it's still dark out you know what I had to do yesterday" I complained.

"You missed our training session yesterday so that means we have to start extra early and I advise you not to miss your sword training with the old man tonight he isn't as forgiving as I am."

'Oh no what have I gotten myself into' I thought despair filling me

"Alright," I said sighing and resigning myself to the torture that I was sure to endure. "where do we begin?"

"Follow me," she said walking off into the forest.

I gulped.

We ended up in a large clearing not too far off from the main road to Psion. As I looked around I thought nodding 'Yep this is where I die.'

"Alright we are going to find out what magic you have today and since you are so eager you can have breakfast later!" She said excitedly with a small clap.

'Damn hag' I thought scowling at her.

"Hey, Fay" I started curious after bringing myself to a more composed state. "What type of magic do you use anyways, you seem to know quite a lot about different types of magic."

"Hmm" she replied with her hand resting upon her chin. "I use a magic called memory make which allows me to use any type of magic I can memorize." She said shrugging

"Woah!" I said surprised "I wouldn't expect someone like you to have such awesome magic." I said pointing at her with complete disbelief written across my face which caused her to fix me with a glare.

"Brat, it's time to start, now try to do what you did last time and cast that spell again." She commanded

"Are you sure I really don't want to die," I said looking at her still pointing my finger

"Yes, and put your hand down already!" She snapped causing me to put my hand down and sit in a meditative pose.

"Alright, here we go," I said reaching for my magic. I could feel inside me the warmth spreading throughout my body, but I had to go deeper to access what I knew to be my own special magic. As I was reaching for it crimson once again flashed from my eyes and I knew how to cast my first spell.

I raised my hand palm facing upwards and yelled "Bring forth the power of the King, Damocles!"

Suddenly a gigantic crimson/gold magic circle appeared, then 50 feet above my head in the sky appeared a gigantic ornate crimson and gold sword larger than what I would come to know was the largest building in magnolia Kardia Cathedral. After it had fully manifested power shot through my body reaching new levels I never knew I possessed causing my magic to unconsciously flare and surround me. Grew ever outwards until it formed a gigantic ring on the ground about 500 feet in each direction. And I instinctively knew that within this circle my power is at its strongest.

(YES! This magic is inspired by the Kings anime with differences of course! I really like it)

Fay Pov

I stood there mouth agape in awe at the sheer power that came out of Alexander's body it was massive and powerful yet gentle and kind and little of something else I couldn't place. I looked up to the sky to see the Gigantic sword floating above us the largest magic construct I've ever seen in my life.

"W-wow," I said dumbly mouth still agape eyes wide.

Then I was rudely taken out of my moment of awe when Alexander said the most un Alexander thing that could come out of his mouth which left me a little confused.

"Kneel woman" he commanded

I just looked at him, he was looking down upon me as if I was subject to all of these commands.

Tomas Pov

"What the hell?" I thought panicked as a red glow along the ground shot past me.

I felt an insane amount of magic power coming from where Fay and Alexander went to go for morning training. I knew that this wasn't good and whatever is causing it is too close to my pupil and granddaughter for comfort, so I ran off towards them as quickly as I could hoping to get there in time.

Fay Pov

"What?" I asked dumbly and a little taken aback.

"I said kneel woman are you stupid?" He started "You are in the presence of my majesty it's only right for you to kneel before your betters." He said smugly with his head tilted up crimson eyes glowing and a finger pointing at me gesturing for me to follow his command.

'What is going on this isn't Alexander he isn't this arrogant and smug if at all.' I thought my knees bending slightly before I realized what I was doing and stood straight back up and I saw him look back towards camp as if checking something.

"Ah" he started "another subject has come to admire me." He said looking back at camp with his hand over his heart smiling.

"wha.." I started then suddenly I heard my grandfather call out to us in a panic

"Are you okay?" he asked. "I felt an immense magic pressure and saw the sword construct flying above what's going on?" He asked after he finished running up to us looking at the sword.

"Ah finally old man, it's about time you arrived." Alex said arrogantly "I would like to hire your services this woman," he said with disgust while waving his hand at me. "Has refused to follow my commands and I'll need you to enforce them for me as I do not wish to dirty my hands, I grow weary of this disrespect" He finished

"Watch it brat!" I yelled fixing him with a glare and he returned with disgust all over his face still shooing me.

"What's going on?" the grandfather asked confused looking between the two of us.

"Something is wrong with Alexander he isn't acting normal!" I said pointing at the boy still with a disgusted look on his face. "He is really starting to piss me off as well I mean just look at his face!"

'Huh he is showing a different attitude,\ he seems so much more arrogant if he even was before his only desire was that he wanted was to find his sister.." Tomas Thought while I was just standing there still pointing at him with anger displayed.

"Stop pointing at me woman that's disrespectful," he said shooting me a glare that made little shivers go down my spine.

"Now…." he started. "It seems I have to make do myself I really did not want to dirty my hands but seeing the treatment I was forced to endure earlier it seems only right."

I saw him stop and begin to chant another spell aimed not at us but off to the side.

"Come forth my eternal knights and do battle, Surge!" He yelled, just then three crimson constructs started to materialize gaining power from the giant sword above. They were dressed in fancy ornate armour standing 8 feet tall each with a sword and shield there stood three imposing knights ready to follow their master's orders.

"Go" he commanded.

The three knights went off to attack, two for Gramps and one for myself. As they rushed us I saw my grandfather get bashed into another clearing I narrowly avoided the one aiming for my chest still shocked that he would attack us.

"Alexander stop this why are you doing this?" I asked

"Silence your constant speaking is starting to give me a headache" he commanded as a grand crimson throne appeared behind him and he promptly sat down as it was finished forming. "Either you obey my orders and he fixed me with a glare, kneel and pledge your eternal loyalty or you are no longer needed….." He said resting his head upon his hand after which an ornate crimson/gold crown appeared on his head.

Just then my attention was brought back to the knight who while imposing was laughably poor at swordplay when it thrust I parried when it slashed I dogged when it shield bashed I sidestepped, all of its attacks were just poor in skill.

'Why is it so weak?' I thought 'it definitely has the power but it just doesn't have the skills it's almost as if I'm fighting….' My thoughts trailed off when I looked back at Alexander still with a smug face staring at me. Instantly I started to attack back in full force playing at what I knew to be Alexander's weaknesses and it worked.

'Just as I thought I looked back to Alexander who was still watching, yet now with an annoyed face.

"It seems your constructs use the skills their creator possesses" I commented.

"Silence!" He yelled no longer composed "just obey my orders and I won't have to hurt you," He said angrily.

I sighed "I don't know why your personality has changed so drastically but it's time I finished up here," I said taking a pose.

"Memory Make Ice Prison!" I yelled casting my magic towards him.

Surrounding Alexander's crimson throne a large mass of Ice appeared covering the throne and encasing all of Alexander's body except the face within a block of ice causing his giant sword construct in the air to disappear.

"Wha…" he trailed off as his body was imprisoned in ice.

'Got him!' I thought starting to walk up towards him.

"How dare you!" He yelled magic exploding all around him shattering the ice and standing up while pushing me back in the process "I refuse to be stopped by such a lowly magic like yours!" He raged "After the humiliation, after the suffering, after my loss…. I refuse to lose to any of you disgusting pigs ever again!" He finished his eyes glowing a deep crimson color, his power started to increase, even more, the sword above reforming and glowing a brilliant gold and crimson with it supplying more power to its creator.

'What the..' I thought 'how is he able to do this? and the amount of magic coming from that sword and funneling into his body is way too much for him to be able to handle!'

"With this, I ensure your demise," he said pointing at me as a Gigantic crimson/gold magic seal appeared before him. "Kings magic secret art, Damocles Dow—" he tried to say but was stopped when a voice came from my left.

"Magic Lock!" My grandfather who just arrived yelled, as I turned to look at him he had a silver magic seal in front of him which I could only assume was his lock magic.

Just then all the magic in the area disappeared making me look back at Alexander who was just staring at us dumbly.

"Uh," he began hand going to the back of his head with a sheepish expression. "Sorry about that…." He finished before dropping to the ground unconscious.

'What the hell was that about?' I thought turning to my grandfather to ask him just what could have caused such an extensive change in Alexander's personality and just what magic was that.

Erza Pov

'A whole year…' I thought 'I can't believe just how long I've been here, how long I've been without my brother to help me, how long I've gone without seeing him smile at me…' my thoughts trailed off.

I looked over to see my friends working the mines all in different locations and I knew it was because we couldn't help it when we saw each other getting electrocuted by one of the guards in the area. We decided long ago that we should work in different areas after Simon attacked a guard for hitting me when I couldn't haul stones fast enough, that earned me my first encounter with Pale Eyes who blamed me for Simons's actions, that night was one I can never forget for the rest of my life for that was the day he branded me with the slave mark on my inner left thigh.

"Ouch" I muttered after stubbing my toe on a rock that was jutting out from the wall where I was working.

"Silence girl!" A guard yelled before walking up to me and striking me with his staff causing blood to spill from my nose and lip.

'Damn bastard!' I thought putting a hand to my face to stem the bleeding and leveling a glare at the man.

"Oho looks like you need another night call with our dear head disciplinary officer," he said smirking.

My eyes went wide with terror at the thought of another run-in with Pale Eyes. I bowed my head slightly hoping to get out of this punishment.

"No s-sir…" I said stuttering "I'm s-sorry."

"That's what I thought now get back to work before I give him a call," he said shooing me away, and shoo away I did, I ran a distance away from him and began to gather stone once more until night depended on the island

As soon as everyone was getting ready to sleep for the night Jellal came to me with a concerned look on his face.

"Hey, Erza!" He called to me

"Yeah what's up?" I called back

"Come over here we need to talk.." He trailed off looking at everyone else gathered all around, Millianna, Sho, Wally, Simon, Jellal, myself, and Grandpa Rob.

"Okay so," he began "I know of a way off the island." He said causing a few hushed gasps to go around the group.

"How?" Asked Wally and Simon at the same time.

"Okay, okay calm down I was going to explain it now anyways," he said placatingly

"Right," he began again. "So I was working at the docks to help unload all of the supplies from the ship that came in today. And I think that is the way off the island for us I already have a few different plans on how to escape and it's going to be hard." He finished

"Alright, so what's the plan?" I asked

"Well there is a big issue with all of them…" he trailed off

"What is it Jellal?" Asked grandpa Rob

"Well the issue is the supply ships only come once every year excluding the slave ships but those are way too heavily guarded." He said remorsefully while waving it off "so we will have to stay here for another year or maybe two because it will be hard to get the timing down for when they arrive." He finished

"So we only have a few opportunities to make it out then?" I asked

"Exactly," he said.

"Hmm, that's a big issue we can play it safe and try to learn the timings from the guards or from when the first arrives in port." said Grandpa Rob. "Or we can play it risky and leave when the first boats arrive," He finished holding up two fingers.

"I think it's b-better if we play it s-safe," Sho said half raising his hand.

"Well, I think we should get out as soon as possible." Said Wally "There are things that I want to do and accomplish."

"Well, I say we should risk it too" I put in my vote "I don't want to stay here any longer than we have to."

"Grandpa Rob?" I asked looking up at the kind old man who watches over us.

"I cannot go with you I am too large of a presence I won't be able to sneak out to the boat and stay hidden on it without being spotted or before they realize I'm missing…" he said

"But you have to come with us, what about your daughter?" I asked

"Don't worry she's waited for me this long she can wait a little longer," he said putting his hand on my head. "Besides I've already heard Jellal's plans and they all involve getting the help of the magic council so I am more than happy to wait for you all." He finished smiling at all of us.

"Well then with I say we play it safe," said Millianna. "I don't want to make any mistakes that will cost us our lives when I know we could have made a plan to avoid any losses."

"Well I say we risk it," said Jellal. "I know we can do it if we work together." He finished

Everyone looked toward Simon who was still thinking about his answer.

"Well, Simon what will it be?" Asked Wally

"I think we should play it safe," he said looking at me. "It doesn't feel right risking it now when we have been playing it safe all along and I don't want to lose any of you like Millianna said, that is something I would rather avoid. And as much as I want to go back and find my sister the timing isn't right I want a good chance at making it back rather than a slim one. He finished looking at all of us individually

"Well then it's been decided one or two more years and we will plan as much as possible for the first boat and if it works out well we will take the chance and if anything should go wrong or it's too dangerous we will wait for the next." Said Grandpa Rob.

okay, I'm not going to lie I cringe every time I read his first spell

I hope you all enjoyed that chapter I had quite a bit of fun making the spell names and I decided that I was going to use some Latin translations for some because it reads better.

and I may have made Alexander a bit too Op at eight but what can you do if it doesn't line up with how I want him at the time ill reduce his power by coming back and rewriting it.

What was that sudden change in personality? and how does he know more spells than the first one!? why are they named already!?

I have no idea, but find out next time

I have 16 grammatical errors ;)

REVIEW!
