Chapter 12: Day at Akane Beach

"You were a Celestial Spirit!?"

Fox, Lucy, Kurama, and the now recovered Leo, were talking to Natsu, Gray, Erza, and Happy at their temporary guild. Yesterday, after some of their comrades went looking for Loki because they were worried, when they returned, they were shocked to learn that Loki was actually a Celestial Spirit.

"Wow, we've been brawling for years and never noticed that you were a Spirit," Gray commented.

"No wonder you smell weird," Natsu commented.

"Please don't smell me," Leo said with a chuckle.

"What kind of Spirit are you?" Happy asked.

"I'm Leo the Lion," Leo replied.

"You mean a grown-up cat!?" Happy exclaimed excitedly.

"That's right," Leo said.

"No, it's not!" Lucy exclaimed.

"Brother~," Happy said as he started hugging Leo's arm before he turned to Kurama. "C'mon, Kurama! Family hug!"

"…" Kurama just gave him a deadpanned look, still on top of Fox's head.

"So, what are you gonna do now?" Gray asked Leo.

"Well, I'm still a little weak," Leo commented with a chuckle. "I'm feeling better now to rest back in the Spirit World, but I still need more time to recover."

"Then why are you still here?" Lucy asked in a worried tone.

"Why, to sweep you off your feet, my princess," Leo said as he suddenly carried Lucy in his arms, surprising her. "Shall we get going?"

"Hey!" Lucy exclaimed in shock.

Suddenly, shadows wrapped around Leo, letting him put Lucy down as they looked at the shadows. They followed the trail and saw that it was connected to Fox.

"Before you go back to being a womanizer, maybe fix your past relationships first," Fox said as Leo chuckled. "Because of you, Natsu-san got beaten by a horde of heart-broken women."

"Hey!" Natsu exclaimed as Gray chuckled, remembering earlier that as they failed to look for Leo, a bunch of his girlfriends came, demanding why he broke up with them. Lisanna tried to calm them down, but then they turned their rage to her. Natsu tried to get them away, that ended up with them ganging up on him.

"Well, I am pretty tired now," Leo said with a chuckle. "I should go back and recover in the Spirit World. But before that…"

He pulled out something from his coat, showing resort tickets, which he handed to Lucy.

"What are these?" she asked as she looked at it, seeing the words 'AKANE RESORT' printed on it. "No way! Where did you get these?"

"I bought them last week for a date," Leo replied.

"Seven tickets?" Kurama said with a raised eyebrow.

"…A date with six girls," Leo admitted. "But I won't need them anymore, and it seems like a waste, so you guys can have it."

"Awesome!" Natsu exclaimed as he and Happy took a ticket.

"Sounds nice," Gray said as he looked at the ticket.

"We still have one extra ticket," Lucy said.

"I already told Erza-san," Leo said as he pointed at Erza, who was pulling her large luggage. "Well, I'll be going back now. Have fun!"

With a bright light, Leo disappeared back to the Spirit World, leaving the group with happy as they looked at their resort tickets.

"Well, have fun with the resort," Fox said as he began to walk away.

"Wait!" Lucy exclaimed, grabbing his arm. "You're coming with us!"

"We are?" Fox and Kurama said in unison.

"Yeah, seven tickets, seven people," Lucy said, showing them the two tickets left.

"…I don't know," Fox said. "I'm not much for beaches…"

"Yeah, if he was, he'd wear normal clothes," Kurama commented, earning a hit on the head by Fox. "Ow!"

"C'mon, it'll be fun," Lucy pleaded.

"…Well, there is something I need to get near Akane Resort," Fox said in a musing tone. "Okay, I'll come with you guys."

"Yay!" Lucy cheered with a big smile. "I'm going to pack up! You guys start packing too!"

Lucy skipped to her apartment as the guys looked at her weirdly. Fox then felt two intense auras, coming from Mirajane and Cana. He wisely left using his shadow as the people around the guild seemed to quiet down, sweating slightly. Mirajane suddenly walked to the back in a hurry, much to their confusion.

Later…

Lucy, Natsu, Happy, Erza, and Gray were all gathered in front of the guild, waiting for Fox and Kurama, already packed and ready to go.

"Fox sure is late," Gray commented, his shirt nowhere to be seen. "Maybe he decided to bail."

"No, he wouldn't," Lucy said. "And your shirt is gone."

"Oh man!" Gray exclaimed, noticing his half naked body.

"Where is Fox-san and Kurama-san?" Erza commented, looking around the area.

"I was just having trouble deciding what to pack," Fox said as he and Kurama appeared beside them, causing them to jump in shock.

"W-when did you get there!?" Lucy exclaimed.

"Just now," Fox said. "Are you guys okay?"

"…You really are a Fairy Tail mage," Gray commented with a sweatdrop.

"Thank you," Fox said, taking it as a compliment. "Should we go now?"

"Yeah!" Lucy cheered as they started walking.

"Wait!" the group stopped as they turned, seeing Mirajane run towards them with something wrapped in her hands. She stopped in front of Fox and handed him the wrapped object, which looked like a bento. "Here, Fox-kun. I had just enough time to make you one in case you get hungry on the trip."

"Oh. Thank you," Fox said, feeling confused as he accepted the wrapped bento.

"Wait, where's ours!?" Natsu exclaimed as he, Happy, and Gray looked at Mirajane, who just looked sheepish.

"Sorry, I only had enough to make one, and Fox-kun has been keeping me company that I wanted to show my appreciation," she replied to the sulking boys, though Lucy was giving her a suspicious look. "Well then, have a safe trip."

Mirajane went back to the bar with a happy hum as Lucy watched her go, feeling annoyed.

"…Are you okay?" Fox asked, feeling Lucy's annoyance.

"Yup!" she exclaimed, trying to calm down. "Just really excited! Let's go already!"

They watched as Lucy walked away with her luggage in hand. They looked at each other before shrugging and following her.

Later…

"We're here!" Lucy cheered, wearing a light-blue, two-piece swimsuit, looking at the blue sea and white sand.

"Woohoo!" Natsu, Gray, and Happy exclaimed as they rushed to the water. Natsu was wearing orange trunks while wearing his scarf as a bandana. Gray was wearing black speedos, and Happy was wearing green trunks, a pair of swimming goggles, and a duck floaties.

Erza was resting on a beach chair, wearing a black, two-piece swimsuit and a pair of glasses, relaxing. A lot of guys, and girls, were staring at her, blushing.

Lucy, Natsu, Gray, and Happy were playing in the water, tossing a ball around. As Lucy bounced the ball to Natsu, she suddenly looked around, noticing someone missing.

"Hey, where's Fox-kun and Kurama?" Lucy asked as Natsu slammed the ball on Gray's face.

"Don't know, haven't seen them since we arrived at the hotel," Natsu replied before the back of his head got hit by the beach ball. He glared at Gray, who glared back, before they started wrestling in the water.

Lucy looked down a little. She was hoping to spend some time with Fox, and maybe get his attention. After all, she knew that he was bit of a pervert, so she thought about showing off her body in the two-piece she got.

"…Wait, can he even see me like this?" she suddenly thought as she remembered that Fox covers his eyes.

Suddenly, her face got hit by the ball, making fall into the water. She quickly went back up, gasping for air as she saw Natsu and Gray fighting, causing the other people to swim away from them.

"I'm hungry~," Happy groaned as he ended up floating next to Lucy. "Too bad Mira didn't make bento for us. It looked so good~."

Lucy's eye twitched when Happy said that. During the train ride, Fox decided to eat the bento Mira gave him. It looked delicious, with perfectly steamed rice, juicy, fried karaage, perfectly cooked tamago, and a fresh, simple salad. Natsu, Gray, and Happy watched enviously as Fox ate it, sounding like he enjoyed it.

Though she couldn't remember if he took off his face mask to eat it.

She quickly shook off her thoughts. She knew Mirajane was a beautiful woman, on top of being sexy and kind, so it was no wonder she felt threatened by her. But unlike Mirajane, she can go on missions with Fox, so there was that slight advantage she had.

"Still, I wonder where he is?" Lucy thought as she ignored Natsu and Gray, with the former holding Gray's speedos and the later pushing Natsu's head in the water.

Meanwhile, just a short mile from Akane Resort, was a simple, wooden hut with a big forge near it. Inside the wooden hut were Fox and Kurama, sitting on some cushions, waiting patiently. Around them were various metalware, glassware, and jewelry.

"This place hasn't changed," Kurama said as he looked at the various trinkets and weapons. "This guy has way too much free time."

"He's a master artisan," Fox said. "He makes all my weapons. It's good that he has free time, otherwise he wouldn't have finished that so quickly."

"I'm glad you think highly of me, Fox-san," an elder voice said as they looked through the curtained doorway. "Though even if I didn't have any free time, this kind of project is easy for a master like me."

Walking through the curtains was an old, short, bald man with a long, bushy, white beard, and thick eyebrows, his eyes closed, wearing a brown tunic with a hood, a poach tied around his waist that kept his various tools, and white, platform sandals. On his hands was a long, wrapped object.

"Here it is, your custom order!" the old man said as he handed Fox the wrapped object. "I put everything I have into this. You might say that this is the crown jewel of my work so far!"

"I had no doubt about it, Kaseki-san," Fox said as he sealed the wrapped object to his arm.

"Go on, you can keep praising me," Kaseki said with a smile. "Though, I was surprised to see you so soon."

"We got dragged to the resort by a troublesome blond," Kurama said from his chair.

"Oh?" Kaseki said, looking surprise as he looked at Fox with one eye. "How surprising. I know you're not a loner, but I didn't think you're into all that beach playing stuff…Is the blond cute?"

"That's not why I decided to come," Fox replied. "They invited us. It would be rude to refuse."

The old artisan looked at Fox before smiling behind his beard. He was different from when they first met, friendly yet guarded, afraid to open up.

"Well, don't let this old man hold you back," Kaseki said as he walked back to the curtain. "You can leave your payment there. I got more work stuff to do."

Fox looked at Kaseki before he left a pouch near his cushion before bowing in gratitude. Kurama then hopped on his head and they exited the hut.

"So…you going to the beach?" Kurama asked, looking at his heavily clothed partner. "I'm pretty sure people would look at you wearing this to the beach."

"Don't worry, I got an outfit," Fox said.

"Really?" Kurama said in shock. "You?"

"Yes, look," Fox said as he took off his cloak. In a puff of smoke, Fox was wearing a different outfit; a full body, black swimsuit, flippers, gloves, a swim cap, tinted goggles, and a snorkel.

Kurama gave him a deadpanned as Fox stood there in his beach clothes. He then threw the cloak back at him, covering his face with it.

"…What?" Fox asked as Kurama floated away from him.

Later…

Lucy sighed as she lied on her soft bed, feeling like she was lying on a bed of clouds. After spending the afternoon in the beach, they had a luxurious dinner. That's where she saw Fox and Kurama, eating with them. And now, here they were, relaxing with their bellies full, feeling content and warm.

"Today was so fun," she said as she rolled to her stomach. "Hm?"

She noticed Erza wearing a sleek, red dress, red high heels, and red gloves, her hair done in a ponytail.

"Hm? What's with the dress, Erza-san?" Lucy asked.

"There's a casino in the hotel, so I thought I should go and play," Erza explained.

"Sounds fun," Lucy said as she stood up from the bed. "I'll go change and join you."

Lucy changed her clothes, wearing a sleek, black dress and black high heels. The two then went to the resort's casino. Lucy looked at the place in awe as she saw a lot of people in fancy clothes, playing all kinds of games; Blackjack, Roulette, Poker, Craps, Baccarat, Big Six Wheel, and Slot Machines. Even though she used to be rich, she never went to places like this.

"Wow, it looks so fun," she said as she and Erza walked through the crowd, earning some looks.

"Damn it!"

Lucy looked at the direction of the shout and saw Natsu and Happy playing Baccarat, looking mad as their poker chips were taken away. Meanwhile, a few tables away, was Gray in his underwear, sweating as he looked at the roulette, watching the small ball roll before landing on black, making him scream as his chips were taken away.

She sweatdropped as she walked faster, pretending not to know them. Suddenly, she and Erza saw a huge crowd in the Blackjack section. Curious, the two looked at the commotion and were surprised to see who caused it.

"Blackjack," Kurama said as he showed his cards. Next to him were piles of poker chips which grew bigger as the chips on the center were given to him, much to the dismay of his opponents.

"Not again!"

"What is that cat!?"

"Are cats even allowed in this resort!?"

Lucy sweatdropped as she saw the losers cry and rage over their loses as another game begins, with Kurama confidently betting his chips.

"How impressive," Erza said, getting Kurama's attention.

"Meh, it's not that hard," Kurama said with a shrug. "Fox can win ten times than what I have."

"Seriously?" Lucy thought as Erza suddenly sat down, joining the game.

"Where is he?" she asked as she was given some cards.

"At the slots," Kurama replied as he looked at his card before at Erza. "You seriously want to play against me?"

"Why not?" Erza asked with a confident smile.

"Suit yourself," Kurama said with a shrug. "Just don't go beating me up when I win."

Lucy sweatdropped again as she felt the intense aura from both of them. Suddenly, she heard another loud ruckus. She turned her head and saw a large people gathered at the slots. Curious, she walked towards the crowd and saw what they were looking at.

Her jaws dropped when she saw Fox playing slots, clearing an entire row of the machines, which kept hitting jackpot, causing mountains of coins to fall to big buckets. Lucy then saw the dozens of big buckets full of coins.

"Who the hell is that!?"

"He kept winning non-stop!"

"This is his fourth row already!"

"Is he cheating!?"

Lucy just sweatdropped at the shocked guests before going towards Fox, who collected all of his winnings.

"Are you enjoying yourself, Lucy-san?" he asked without looking at her as he easily put the buckets in a big cart provided for him by the staff.

"How did you do all of this?" Lucy asked, gesturing at his winnings.

"I'm just lucky," Fox replied simply.

"…So, you're not really cheating?" Lucy asked, feeling a little unfair that he could earn what seems like a year's worth of her rent. "Maybe some of your luck is still in those machines. I'll go check."

Fox just looked as she ran towards one of the machines with a hopeful look. He shrugged and went to cash in his winnings. Once he left the crying cashier, Fox went to the bar to relax. He ignored the envious looks he received from winning so much money. He could feel a lot of women looking at him with interest, but he felt that they had impure intentions, trying to swindle his winnings.

Through those intentions, he suddenly felt a familiar presence walking towards him, feeling how nervous she is. She slowly walked towards him and gently poked on his shoulder.

"It's been a while," Fox greeted as he turned to look at Juvia Lockser. She has a nervous expression on her face as she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. She was wearing a blue dress that hugged her voluptuous figure well, showing off her long legs and big breasts. Dangling on her neck was a silver necklace with the symbol of Fairy Tail attached to it. "Nice necklace."

"Yes, it has, Fox-sama," she said nervously as she took the sit next to him. "Juvia is surprised that you are not wary of her."

"The war is long over and the problem I had was with Jose Porla, I have no ill feelings towards you," Fox replied as he ordered some sake. "So, how has things been after the war? Doing okay?"

"Yes," Juvia replied with a nod. "Juvia has been working well as an independent mage…though Juvia is thinking of joining a guild…"

Juvia pushed her chest forward, causing the necklace, and her breasts, to jiggle lightly. Many men looked at her with blushes and lewd eyes, but she ignored them in favor on the ninja she was talking too.

"And I take it you'd like to join Fairy Tail?" he asked. Juvia nodded, looking hopeful. "If the old man agrees to it, then you'll be fine. Besides, he likes pretty girls like you."

"P-pretty!?" Juvia whispered to herself, blushing as she held her cheeks in embarrassment. She quickly calmed herself, but there was still a bit of red on her cheeks. "So, Juvia has a chance?"

"I don't see why not," Fox said with a shrug. "After all, you didn't hurt anyone, and the old man is very forgiving."

"That is wonderful!" Juvia cheered happily. "Juvia cannot wait to be comrades wit-!"

Suddenly, Fox perked up as a large shadow appeared over them. He quickly grabbed Juvia and jumped off the stool as a giant destroyed the place they were sitting on. The sudden attacked caused people to panic and run. Fox turned to face the man that attacked them. He was a fairly massive and tall young man with large arms and hands, yes very thin legs, wearing a white turban over his head, an eyepatch over his left eye, and have a metal jaw, his torso was exposed, wearing only a large, light cloth passing over his left shoulder and going down below his waist, where it was tied by a light sash, plus a single, dark sleeve on the left arm, bearing two light stripes vertically going down it, from the shoulder to the cuff. The cloth crossing his chest diagonally had its edges adorned by a series of dark pyramids, and bore in its middle several dark, larger motifs, highly reminiscent of double-edged axes, a pair of extremely loose dark pants, almost reaching down to his ankles, a pair of light, ankle boots.

"…You're awfully rude for ruining my vacation," Fox commented as he went to stand up.

"Ahn~!"

Only to feel something familiarly soft in his hand. He faced down and noticed Juvia below him, blushing and panting as Fox's hand was on her right breast.

"How bold~," Juvia said with a bashful expression.

"S-s-soft-I mean sorry!" Fox exclaimed as he quickly pulled his hand back.

"Um…" the giant mumbled, looking a little awkward.

"W-who are you?" Fox demanded, calming himself down.

"You are Fox, correct?" the big guy asked.

"…Who wants to know?" Fox said, tensing a little.

"Where is Erza Scarlet?" he asked.

"Again, who wants to know?" Fox said as his shadows shimmered.

Meanwhile, at the poker table, Erza was in shock. It happened so suddenly. There she was, having a friendly game with Kurama, who wasn't winning all her chips and mocking her for it. When they were playing again, their host changed, so did their cards. Kurama then pushed her off her seat as their new host threw his cards towards her, causing a panic. She saw that the cards touched some people who were just standing by, and they got suck into it.

"Who the hell are you?" Kurama demanded as he stood at the ready.

Erza looked at the one who attacked them and she gasped, her eyes widening. In front of them was a tanned, young man with blond, wavy hair, dark, beady eyes and a small 5-shaped tattoo below his lower lip, wearing a pink shirt and pants over a red overcoat with yellow buttons, and an earring on his left ear with a small diamond dangling on it.

"Sho…" she said in shock.

"It's been a long time, Erza-neesan," the man said with a grin, his eyes wide with insanity. "I'm so happy that you remember me."

Kurama looked at Erza, seeing her looked both shocked and afraid. Sho then touched his temple.

"Simon, I found her."

Fox tensed as he faced the big guy in front of him, standing protectively beside Juvia. Suddenly, the big guy perked up.

"It seems we found her," he said as he raised his hands, a purple magic circle appearing. "Then I won't bother you anymore. Dark Moment!"

The world suddenly darkened around Fox, surprising him. He tried to use his Shadow Grace to capture the giant, but it disappeared within the darkness, making him curse once he was surrounded by complete darkness.

"You think you can defeat me in the darkness?" Fox called out as he used his senses to find him. "I thrive in the darkness."

"I know, but what about your little lady friend?"

Fox suddenly turned to where Juvia is, feeling the giant next to her, ready to attack. He quickly rushed towards the girl, pushing her away from their attacker. As the two fell, he heard the giant whisper something to him.

"If you wish to save Erza, then come to the Tower of Heaven."

Fox's eyes widened when he heard that. A minute later, the darkness dissipated, revealing that most of the guests either fainted or ran away. He tried to search for the big guy, but he was gone, and so was Erza.

"Fox-kun!" Lucy exclaimed as she ran towards him. "Are you ok…ay…?"

Fox noticed the tone of her voice changing as her emotions became annoyed. He then turned his head, facing the source of her irritation.

"Ahn~," Juvia moaned as she found herself wrapped around Fox's arms, his hands holding both breasts.

"Ah!" Fox exclaimed as he jumped away from her.

"What's going on!?" Gray exclaimed as he ran towards them before spotting a blushing Juvia and an annoyed Lucy. "Wait, why is she here?"

"Don't worry about that now," Fox said, calming down. "Are you okay, Gray-san?"

"Yeah, nothing happened to me when the lights disappeared," Gray said as he looked around the room.

Meanwhile, Lucy noticed that Juvia was looking at her, eying her before Juvia gave her a smug look.

"Fox-sama touched Juvia twice today," she said in a bragging tone.

"W-why are you telling me!?" Lucy exclaimed, blushing a little. She crossed her arms and looked away with a huff, but can't help but compare that Fox only touched her once. She quickly shook her head as Kurama flew towards them, carrying an unconscious Natsu, whose mouth was smoking.

"Kurama, what happened?" Fox asked as Kurama dropped Natsu in front of Fox, who looked at his mouth, seeing a nasty bruise inside.

"Some weirdo attacked us when I was beating Erza," he explained as Fox pulled out a bottle and forced it in Natsu's mouth. "Seems like Erza knew him."

"A strange cat girl attacked me," Lucy said. "She was asking about Erza-san too."

"Gaaaah!" Natsu exclaimed as he sat up and started spitting the potion. "bwat bwas bwat?"

"A little something to heal that bullet wound in your mouth," Fox said.

"That block headed bastard!" Natsu exclaimed in anger before he looked around. "Damn it! He kidnapped Happy!"

"Two of our comrades were taken," Fox said with a low growl. "This won't stand."

"Wait! Erza got taken!? Erza!?" Natsu exclaimed in shock.

"No way she got beaten by those thugs," Gray said, though he still looked shocked.

"She didn't," Kurama said as she looked at them. "She went with them willingly."

"What?" Lucy asked in shock. "Why?"

"Let's ask her, once we get her and Happy back," Fox said as he walked towards a wall, raising a hand. "Rasengan."

A big hole appeared in front of him, surprising them, except for Kurama, who flew towards Fox and landed on his head, and Juvia, who was beside Fox with a lovestruck expression.

"Let's go," Fox said as he walked through the hole, snapping the others out of it.

"Wait, do you even know where to go?" Gray asked as they followed him.

"I can sniff them out!" Natsu said as he started sniffing the air.

"No need," Fox said as he led them to the beach. "I know where they are."

"You do, Fox-kun?" Lucy asked in surprised, sensing how tensed he is. "Where?"

"…The Tower of Heaven," Fox replied as Kurama's eyes widened.

"You serious?" he asked as Fox nodded. "I thought that place was destroyed."

"What are you guys talking about?" Gray asked.

"…Years ago, Kurama and I fought a cult of Dark Wizards who were attacking a village, kidnapping children and elderlies," Fox explained, remembering beating the cruel slavers wearing dark cloaks. "When we gave them to the Magic Council Knights, one of them shouted about a Tower of Heaven being built to revive the Black Mage Zeref."

"A-are you serious?" Gray asked in shock.

"Why would they do that?" Lucy asked, looking afraid of hearing the name that created Lullaby and Deliora.

"Who knows? I don't make it my point to study the minds of mad men," Fox said with a shrug. "I do know that years ago, they were in the process of building one, but it was destroyed."

"Then another lunatic probably decided to take over, and this time, he finished," Kurama added with a scowl.

"But what's that got to do with Erza-san?" Lucy asked as they made it to the beach.

"I don't know, but whatever it is, it can't be good," Fox said as they faced the ocean. "Anyone know where we can get a boat?"

"No need, Fox-sama," Juvia said as she walked towards the water. "Juvia can provide transport."

They watched as Juvia used her magic to create a platform made of water. Fox stepped on it and didn't fell in.

"Impressive," Fox commented as they hopped on the hardened water. "It's a good thing we have you here, Juvia-san."

"Fox-sama praised Juvia~," Juvia whispered in a smug tone towards Lucy.

"So!?" Lucy said in annoyance.

Once they were on the water platform, the group set forth to the Tower of Heaven. Fox directed them where to go. He was sitting crossed leg on the platform, staying perfectly still despite the rocking waves.

"You sure we're going the right way?" Gray asked as he pushed the sick Natsu away from him.

"I'm sure," Fox replied, using Senjutsu to guide them. "But…something worries me."

"What is it?" Lucy asked, looking worried.

"I'm barely sensing any magic," Fox said.

"But I thought the Tower of Heaven is supposed to revive Zeref," Kurama said. "Shouldn't it have like a gigantic amount of magic power?"

"Look!" Lucy exclaimed, pointing in front of them. Everyone, except Natsu, looked and saw something incredibly tall on a small island.

As they got closer, they saw a chaotic and asymmetrical tower, comprised of overlapping and intertwining giant metal tubes that shoot straight up into the sky, held together by smaller golden tubes. At the very top of the structure was a giant green sphere encased in crystal decorated with several red eye-shaped symbols, sharp crystals protruding from below the green sphere, and a little golden cone protruding from the top.

"Damn," Gray commented in shock and awe.

"It's so big…" Lucy said, barely seeing the top.

"Impressive," Kurama said in disdain.

"It is," Fox commented. "Let's go break it."

Alright, gonna end the chapter here. Hope you enjoy some comical moments, as well as the surprise appearance of Kaseki from Dr. Stone. I thought about thinking some blacksmithing characters, and he's my favorite one. If you wanna guess what he made, go ahead, but I already got an idea of what it is.

Now, that the sexy part is mostly over, next chapter, invading the Tower of Heaven. See you later and Happy Holidays!
