Daryun P.O.V.
Finally, after long, stressful training days, trying to catch up because of the missing three months, they went back home to Fairy Tail. Everybody was dead tired, and as soon as they reached the entrance to the guild, they collapsed on the ground.
"Home sweet home." Natsu whines.
"Are you guys just gonna lie around all day? Get up!" Macao exclaims. Several people groaned before they mustered up the strength to stand up.
"Welcome back. Now that you are back, i not only sense magical growth, but I also sense new magic. Very powerful magic. Who would that be coming from?" Makarov asks, coming out of the guild with his hands clasped behind his back. Arslan and Daryun step up to Makarov.
"That would be us. On the training trip, one of Lucy's spirits brought us to the celestial spirit world and the king unlocked our powers for us, as they were locked from of the world he lived in." Arslan explains. "I have celestial spirit magic, and Daryun has a kind of weaponry magic."
"I will be helping Arslan with his spirits." Lucy says, stepping up.
"And I will help Daryun with his weapons." Erza says, stepping up as well with a sparkle in her eyes.
"Alright. Let us go inside the guild and we will talk further there." Makarov says, leading the group inside. Makarov steps onto a platform, leaving the group in front of it and turns towards the entire guild, also huddled around the stage.
"I have an announcement! I will be telling everyone the five people that will participate in the Grand Magic Games! The participants will be, Natsu! Gray! Erza!" He exclaims. Everyone agrees with him on that, seeing as they are some of the guilds strongest. "The last two will be, Lucy and Arslan!" You could almost hear a pin drop in the silence before an ear rattling sound bursts from the crowd.
"WHAT?!" Several people yell.
"But, Arslan has no magic, the last that we heard!" Someone yells out.
"A well, on the training trip that Team Natsu and a few others took, Arslan and Daryun unlocked their magic because of the celestial spirit king. Arslan has celestial spirit magic, and Daryun has weaponry magic." Makarov explains.
"Then why have both Arslan and Lucy? They're both celestial spirit mages!" The same person yells.
"Because Arslan is a powerful and unexpected asset. He will be helpful to win the Grand Magic Games!" Makarov says. A sudden, dark and almost evil stare makes its presence known when Makarov finishes speaking. Makarov turns and quickly spots Daryun's death glare, surprised to see it because of its rarity. Makarov sweat-drops.
"He can, of course, learn other magics as well! Who can help Arslan and teach him some knew magic?" He asks, laughing nervously. A very muscular arm raises from somewhere in the back of the crowd.
"Thank you for willingly taking up this opportunity to teach Arslan some new magic. Arslan, meet your magic trainer, Laxus." Makarov says, gesturing for Laxus to walk onto the stage. The guild once again quiets down as Laxus makes his way up to the stage.
"So, which one am I supposed to train?" Laxus asks. Arslan raises his hand. "Alright. Meet me outside when everything is done here and I'll give you the crash course on lightning dragon slayer magic." With that, Laxus jumps off the stage and walks out the door to the guild. The guild once again breaks out in whispers, though this time they are more confused and immediate.
"Why is everyone acting like that? He only said he would help me in training." Arslan says.
"I do not know, Your Highness." Daryun responds.
"It's because Laxus would never do that! He has almost never offered to help anyone ever since I've been here." Lucy says.
"Oh. Well, people do change. Maybe it's his time to change." Arslan says. As everyone starts dispersing, and Arslan goes outside to start training with Laxus and Daryun goes to follow him when Makarov starts speaking again.
"I have decided that we will have one more Fairy Tail team. It will consist of Mystogan, Juvia, Gajeel, Mirajane, and Daryun." He says. "If you guys win, you can have the other team do anything you want them to and they can not complain." Taking his final words as a dismissal, they left, this time not being stopped. Daryun went outside to find Arslan already getting the hang of the lightning magic. Instead of Laxus' yellow lightning, Arslan had cyan lightning sparking at his fingertips. He brought his hands together and then ripped them apart just as fast, lightning sparking in an arch in between his hands and growing ever taller. When Arslan stopped moving his hands away, the lightning arch split into two rods and struck at where Arslan aimed his hands. Daryun stared in amazement at the powerful display of lightning, only breaking out of his uncharacteristic moment when Laxus claps his hands together a few times.
"Good job, Arslan. That was way better than before. Your getting it." Laxus complements. Arslan beams up at him.
"Thank you for your assistance, Laxus. I couldn't have come this far if it weren't for you." Arslan says. Laxus slaps a hand on Arslan's back making Arslan stumble a little and Daryun to almost go into overprotective guard mode.
"Well, now that you are all trained and ready, we should probably regroup with the rest of the guild and head out to the Games." Laxus suggests.
"Yes, that would be best." Arslan nods. He walks up to Daryun and walks the rest of the way back into the guild with him. As soon as all the guild is in the same place, they head out to the A, what the guild is calling the original team for the Games, leaves first to go to the registry, leaving the rest of the guild to do the same. Somehow though, even though Team B took the long route, they ended up at the registry first. Makarov registered both teams at the same time. Picking up a rule book, The guild goes to the agreed meetup spot and Makarov hands Erza the rule book. Levy starts reading it out loud, and then they split up to explore the city with a quick reminder to be back at the hotel by midnight.
Daryun and Arslan decided to do the exploring together, like they normally do things, and break of from Team A and the still secret Team B. Arslan and Daryun walk around, Daryun walking with an amused smile as Arslan gazes in wonder at the shops full of foods, cloths, flowers, and an assortment of other things. They bought a few things, like some cloth to make some winter clothing, some foods they had never seen before, and two bags, one per person, to carry anything else they decide they might want and/or need, as well as the money they have. By 11:30, they went back to the inn that Team A is staying at to rest their legs before Arslan (and Daryun) have to do the intro round. Daryun opened the door and saw Erza already sitting on one bed in her pajamas.
"Hello, Erza. How has your night been so far?" Arslan asks, walking into the room with Daryun behind him.
"It's been quiet so far. Peaceful, relaxing. What about yours?" She asked. "You haven't been in this world long and I know most things are still new to you."
"It was wonderful. We discovered many new foods, different patterns, thicknesses, and textures of clothes, and many different magical artifacts!" Arslan exclaims.
"Yeah, those can be bit of a cultural shock." Erza responds. Arslan sits down on a bed and Daryun glances at a clock on the wall, finding them more helpful than telling time by the position of the sun or moon. The clock read 11:45 and all of Team A's other teammates come filing into the room.
"Highness, now would be a good time for me to leave. It would be best for you to start getting ready for the first task." Daryun says. Arslan looks up and then looks at the clock before bringing his gaze back to Daryun.
"So it seems. Farewell, Daryun. I will see you later." Arslan says. Daryun lowers his head as a mini bow and leaves the room, heading over to the meeting place that Team B agreed on. Seeing the rest of his team already there, he picked up his pace and joined them. As soon as he reached them, they started walking towards their inn.
"I hope I did not leave you waiting long." Daryun says.
"No, we had just gathered their a few minutes before you arrived." Gajeel responds. Daryun nods and the continue the rest of the way to the guild in comfortable silence.
