Chapter Five…

(Eisenwald)

8th of September x782 - Forest of Oshibana:

It had been a few days since Natsu made the deal with Gnarl about creating a whole new breed of minions, and since then he was thinking about which Dark Guild to attack with the brown minions, to prove the strength of today's mages. As he was deciding which guild to attack, he was helping Lisanna with the cavern for his farming homestall. So far they had the land sorted, the cavern they were using was large enough for the land to allow them to farm enough food for about a hundred or so people. They also had a few homes, so that they could hold a few hundred people who were important to Natsu, and by extension Lisanna. She had a few ideas on how to make the place better for long period residence, like a water tower, and a few warehouses to store what they needed, and to keep things safe. Something Natsu thought was useful, and so agreed to help build them.

Anyway, at the present time Natsu, Gnarl, and Happy were outside of the Forest of Oshibana, where the Dark Guild Eisenwald resided. From what Natsu could find out about the dark guild, Eisenwald was known as an Assassin Guild, who would only take assassination jobs. Not only that, but Natsu learned that the guild was a subordinate guild to the Oración Seis.

Natsu knew it was a risk attacking Eisenwald because they were part of Oración Seis. Oración Seis, Grimoire Heart and Tartaros were the three most powerful Dark Guilds out there, and combined they were known as the Balam Alliance, each of these three guilds had smaller guilds under them. And if they wanted to retaliate his attack on Eisenwald, the Balam Alliance could send smaller guilds after him. But at the same time, Eisenwald was just what he needed to show Gnarl what a Mage was capable of doing, and so winning his bet and creating a new set of minions.

So here they were outside of the Oshibana forest, just as they were about to enter the forest, Natsu turned to his 'son'.

"Buddy, you know you don't have to come and watch this right? You can go back to the Tower and train some more if you want."Natsu asked, knowing that Happy had become friends with some of the brown minions over the time they had been training.

Happy smiled at his father, he knew that Natsu had changed over the last couple of months, becoming a darker person, but after what happened to his father it wasn't surprising. Nobody at Fairy Tail was willing to help Natsu to train, and they were always looking down on him. And with the death of their precious Lisanna, Natsu became darker as there was no one there for his father except for Happy himself, and if he was truthful with himself, he didn't really mind too much. Natsu was still Natsu, loyal to those who were close to him, willing to do whatever possible to protect his family. And then there was the fact he too was becoming like his father, the darkness entering his soul.

He was also grateful for Gnarl, as the Minion Master had done the one thing that no one back at Fairy Tail had ever done for Natsu, he helped him. And over the last couple of months, Gnarl had done more for them than anyone else at Fairy Tail, and thanks to that, Natsu was getting stronger by the day - in Happy's little mind anyways. Not only was the old minion helping his father train, but he was helping Happy train too, and once he was ready, Happy would start learning some offensive magic. Happy was excited to hear this, as he wanted to help his father, and would want to do whatever he could to get stronger. At this point in time, he is summoning and un-summoning his wings as many times as he could before he runs out of magic, and then taking a rest to recover his magic before doing it all over again. The reason behind it was to build up his magic container, to prepare himself for more than just summoning his wings.

Happy knew he couldn't go back to the Tower now, not when he vowed he would be there at every step for his 'father.' Sure he knew that Natsu would have to kill, but it would take some getting use, to, but he would be there for his father and help him when needed. If he had to admit it to himself, Happy realized he wasn't bothered about killing, and that's what bothered him.

But getting back to the point Happy said, "No, I'll stay with you!"

"Ok pal," Natsu said with a smile, "now let's do this." And with that Gnarl summered a Brown Minion Gate, and Natsu used his gauntlet to summon about fifty Brown Minions, a few of them were holding pieces of armour. It wasn't the old set that was too bulky for Natsu, so much so that he found it hard to fight in, because it didn't have the flexibility he required to fight. Instead it was the new one that he had asked for. An armour that he would able to move in and fight in with ease.

It was a black so deep that light seemed to be absorbed by it, and was outlined in a fiery red color that reminded him of an open flame. The helmet came over his head and covered all of his head except for his eyes, nose, and part of his mouth and it had a red skull over his forehead. The breastplate was an even darker black than the rest of his armor, if that was even possible, and was open in the middle. The shoulder pads were made for optimal mobility and flexibility. There was nothing for his upper legs except for two pieces of plate armor that hung down by his belt, which was red with a gold outline and skull buckle. His lower legs and knees were protected by a pair of greaves with bone white skulls on the top of each one. They were quite the sight and he knew he would look both awesome, and downright terrifying.

Once the minions and the armour appeared, Gnarl said with an evil smile, "Good, your new armour is ready. Sire, put it on and we can see if you're right about the Mages being more powerful than our own Brown Minions." Although he was still so confident that his brown minions would demolish the mages with ease.

Natsu didn't say anything, just smiled and put on his new armour. Once he had put his armour on; they all entered the forest, which was full of dead trees. Nothing lived in it other than a few owls and some deadly predators. Before long they got to a moderately sized building, made of stone. Once they were at the building, Natsu said, "Now let's see if the Browns are as strong as you think they are Gnarl."

"Of course Master." Gnarl responded confidently, believing that the Browns were able to deal with a few pesky Magic Users. And with that Natsu sent the Brown Minions into the Eisenwald Guild Hall, breaking down the door and causing havoc.

And Then…

Eisenwald's Guild Hall - A few minutes earlier:

In the Guild Master's office of Eisenwald, there was a Dark Mage known as Erigor, or as the public know him as, the Shinigami. Erigor was a tall, muscular man with silver hair, which is spiked upwards while his bangs hangs down in front of his left eye in a distinctive tuft, sometimes partially covering it, and reaching down to his shoulders. His eyes are dark and he has an elongated face with sharp features and somewhat pointed ears, but seems to lack eyebrows. His eyes are circled by dark lines and each of them has a simple tattoo right below it, consisting of a pointed line going down vertically, crossed with two more, larger horizontal lines. The upper part of his body is similarly tattooed, but with much larger, intricated and blue-colored motifs, which take on spiraling forms, and adorn his shoulders, biceps, pectorals and back.

Erigor wore a torn Japanese-like outfit befitting his role as the Shinigami. He is shown bare-chested, with all of his tattoos visible, and his lower body is covered in different layers of clothing: he sports a long, worn skirt, reminiscent of a hakama, below a darker, shorter cloth, held up by an even lighter and shorter one tied like a belt. He has a black scarf wrapped around his thin neck, with its edges hanging on his back and traditional geta sandals on his feet. His attire is completed by a pair of distinctive dark gloves, each adorned by a light "X" on the back, and by bandages wrapped around his forearms.

Erigor was acting as the temporary Guild Master, as the Guild's Guild Master was imprisoned a few weeks back when a mission went wrong. It was a fight where a few Rune Knights were killed, but the Eisenwald's Guild Master was still caught and arrested. In Erigor's mind, this couldn't happen at any worse of a time, as today was the day that their guild had to pay tribute to Oración Seis, and a representative would be here to get the protection money they owed them. This was something his Guild Master would usually deal with, but now it was down to him and he wasn't happy about it.

Before he could think more about this, the door knocked and one of his Guild Mate's entered the office and said, "Erigor, the representative from Oración Seis is here."

For being one of the powerful and ruthless in the guild, Erigor was frightened and with good reason, Oración Seis had only six people in their guild and they could take the likes of Eisenwald out like it was nothing. So he had to be respectful, or today could be his last on Earthland. So with a sigh, he said, "I'll be right out there."

Taking a few deep breaths to keep his demeanor normal. He left the office and entered the guild's entrance hall. Here he meet up with a slim man of average height with dark tan skin and spiky maroon hair; aside from a tuft covering his forehead and two bangs framing his face and purple slit eyes. He was wearing an elaborate white coat with purple inner lining and cuffs intricately decorated by silver-colored motifs, and many studs lined up the chest. The high collar and the sleeves, which have armbands made of what looked like metal around them above his elbows. Below it, he wears a dark shirt, and he also sports a pair of crimson leather pants held up by a studded belt, with more similar belts circling diagonally the upper parts of his legs, and simple brown shoes.

"Where's your Master?" asked the Oración Seis' representative.

"I'm sorry but he has been arrested a few weeks ago," explained Erigor, "so I'll be taking care of things today. So may I ask who you are?"

"You can call me Cobra," the representative told Erigor, "now before we deal with your tribute, let's deal with the spy you got here."

"What!?" shrieked most of the guild, before Erigor went on to say darkly, "I don't know what you're talking about, but I have known each of these people here for years, and I can tell you that none of could be a spy."

Cobra just laughed, saying, "You wouldn't know that he is a spy, as his magic allows him to alters people's memories. Thus making you think you have known them for years."

Here a lean-built man of average height with short, almost shaved black hair, with a slightly outlined widow's peak, and complete with mildly long sideburns, begun to look very nervous. He had large, bright emerald turquoise eyes, and thin eyebrows. The left side of his face is covered by three distinctive scars: the shortest one that points diagonally upwards in his left eye's direction, and 'connected' by the longest scar, diagonally in the other way, to the similarly oriented one which goes up to his forehead. Such scars harmlessly cover his left eyebrow and part of his hair, passing over them. Hanging from his left ear is a simple earring, with an elongated pendant attached to it.

"I don't know what he is talking about," said the Dark Mage, "we've been friends for years, do you think I could alter someone's memories like the way Cobra says I could?"

The Dark Mage's words though didn't seem to affect Erigor as he hoped, instead Erigor became angrier, as a wall of wind hit the Dark Mage into the nearby wall. Lifting himself off the ground, Erigor floated towards the Mage, and stabbed him with a wind blade, he said darkly, "You dare use Memory Magic on me?! What kind of fool are you?!"

The so called Dark Mage paled at this, realizing he was caught in the act. He knew it was a risk, but it was a risk he had to take if he wanted to live through the next few moments. But before he could do anything to save himself, what looked like fifty strange brown troll looking creatures broke into the guild and started to fight with the guild, letting him make his escape before they could kill him.

Before the guild had even realized what was going on the creatures killed two members. The guild instantly started their counterattack to the sudden appearance of the strange brown creatures. Erigor himself summoned two wind blades and started to hack through the invading creatures. He saw that his guild was easily making mincemeat of the strange creatures.

Erigor saw one of the lower guild members take on three of them at once and they were almost even, though the guild member was still obviously stronger. He quickly cut off one of the heads of the creatures surrounding the man and left the rest to him. He saw Kageyama take fifteen of the on at once and was hardly breaking a sweat, his shadow magic making short work of his foes. Another goblin creature jumped out at him and was sliced in half, he was getting bored of this. They were so pathetically weak he didn't even have to fight, heck half the guild didn't have to fight for them to be slaughtered but they attacked their guild and let the treacherous snake escape so he needed something to let his anger out on and they were better than nothing.

After about three minutes of hacking away at the creatures it was finished, fifty-three bodies were lying on the ground lifeless. It seemed that one of the weaker members was surrounded by five or so of the little creatures, and after taking half of them down the man was finally overwhelmed.

Erigor let go of his magic and his wind blades vanished. He looked over at Cobra, who was still in the same place he was before they were attacked. It seems like the Oración Seis were too good to help the guilds they were supposed to be protecting. But he knew better than to say anything, in case the Oración Seis decided take it out on him.

But what Erigor didn't know was that Cobra wanted to see what these strange brown creatures could do, which he found disappointing, but to see how good this Dark Guild was to report it back to his Guild Master. Cobra was happy at what the guild could do, but wondered what these brown creatures were and if they were sent by someone, who. As he and Erigor went outside to see if they could find anything/anyone, they found nothing, whoever or whatever was out here was long gone.

Seeing no one around, Cobra got his money from Erigor. Once he had done that he picked up one of the brown creatures and summoned a huge snake and left.

And Then…

Outside of Eisenwald's Guild Hall - Moments Before:

As Natsu and Gnarl watched the fight, Gnarl was horrified at what he saw. The Browns were being slaughtered as if they were nothing. The old Minion Master was shocked at how powerful Magic Users had gotten over the few hundred years since he last saw them. It would seem that the new Overlord was right, it was indeed time to create new minions if they wanted to take over Earthland. Happy wasn't really too surprised. He'd seen a lot, a LOT of crazy stuff back at Fairy Tail, and now nothing really surprised him at all.

As the last few Brown Minions were getting dispatched, Gnarl said, "Master, we need to get out of here before they are done. Unless you think you can handle them."

"Not alone no." Natsu admitted as he saw how well Eisenwald dealt with his Brown Minions, and knew he was right about wanting to create new minions. And so the three of them left before anyone from Eisenwald came out of the guild, and headed towards the nearest Tower Gate.

And Then…

Unknown Locations, Oración Seis Headquarters - An Hour Later:

It about an hour later and Cobra was back at the Oración Seis Headquarters, where he met up with the rest of the Oración Seis.

Hoteye: this man was the tallest member of Oración Seis, he is a large and imposing man whose appearance is peculiar in the fact that he looks both quite feminine and, most curiously, has a body consisting of geometrical forms with sharp angles, not possessing rounded parts. He has long, wavy and flowing orange hair reaching down below his shoulders, bright blue eyes with long eyelashes, a prominent, flat nose and full, red feminine lips. His large forehead tops his eyes directly, due to the seeming lack of eyebrows. His massive torso and arms look even more massive if compared to his head, relatively small in comparison to his thin legs.

His outfit consists of a loose black shirt, with light sleeves adorned by a series of dark merged rhombuses, a large, white collar closed on the front going down to cover his shoulders and a sash tied around his waist, visible under it, and simple light pants tucked inside light boots, with the parts circling his calves being reminiscent of leg warmers. Circling Hoteye's neck is a large necklace made of brown beads, which has a pendant hanging from it, this taking the shape of an eye flanked by two small, wing-like protrusions. Hoteye had a book in his right hand, whose light cover bears, inside a rectangular part with angles curving inwards, a large, dark letter 'J.'

Angel: Angel is a young voluptuous slim woman with pale skin, brown eyes and short platinum blonde hair, with bangs covering her forehead. As her name suggests, Angel's attire is evocative of the conventional image of an angel: she wears a short dress made up of white feathers with two feathery wings that hang from her back. The dress splits just above her navel and reveals much of her cleavage, becoming more reminiscent of a vest. The deep, revealing v-cut is lined by a row of long feathers on either side, thus continuing up her torso and wrapping around her shoulders to form a sort of collar; two white wing-like tattoos can be found on her collarbone and her skirt is also partially split down the middle. Angel wears a dark-blue ribbon around her head with four bows hanging from it, two on each side, that cover her ears. Her hair is cut in a short bob, with two tresses reaching over her hair ribbon to frame her face; a piece of hair at the top curls into a halo that rises conspicuously from her head. Angel also wears long, dark blue gloves that cover her arms and her elbows and knee-length, dark blue stockings with light blue, feathered boots.

Racer: the man was a very tall, long-faced man with blond and black hair; the blonde, central part of his hair being styled in a long, spiky mohawk and the black portion being very close-shaven. He possesses similarly blond, extremely long eyebrows jutting outwards, a long, hooked and prominent nose, and a reduced Glasgow smile; he wears a rather large, reinforced chin guard which is covered in small, rectangular holes on the edges, that extend upwards to his green-tinted sunglasses.

His outfit consists of a red and white racing suit. The jacket, which is predominantly red in color, with white parts on top of the shoulders and on the sleeves. The back of the jacket also bears the Oración Seis' name and symbol; such symbol is also emblazoned on the right part of the jacket's high collar, held closed by a large button, with "Oración Seis" written on the side. Each white sleeve bears a large red stripe going down from the jacket's shoulders; while the right one is blank, the left one bears the writing "Now loading" on it. The suit's pants are white in color and quite loose, held up by a belt circling Racer's waist, which in itself closed by a large button similar to the one on his jacket's collar, with red pockets below the waist and flat knee pads covering his knees and the subsequent area below. His outfit is completed by a pair of white gloves with red fingers, each bearing the Oración Seis' symbol in a square on the back of the hand, and had dark running shoes.

Midnight: Midnight was a very lean, slightly effeminate young man with short spiky black hair on the top, and longer, straight white hair on the bottom which framed his face on both sides, with the right strand, in particular, being adorned by five maroon beads. He wears a black leather vest with white fur trimming, a white armlet around his right bicep, and a black choker around his neck. Midnight was wearing a pair of yellow pants with black designs on them and burgundy boots; there are spiked bracelets on his wrists and skull earrings in his ears. Midnight's lower eyelashes are very prominent, and he wears dark eyeliner and plum-colored lipstick. Midnight's red Oración Seis Mark is located on his right shoulder, and he wears dark nail polish. Like normal, he was crossed leg sleeping, floating in the air.

Lastly there was Brain, the Guild Master of Oración Seis: Brain has neat silver hair that reaches his shoulders, dark eyes and tanned skin. He has unique markings on his face that take the shape of straight black lines and carries a staff with a skull on the top. His white over coat had yellow stripes, and a black lapel. His pants had white fur stripes spiraling around his legs, and brown winter boots.

"So you're back Cobra," Brain greeted Cobra, "did everything go well with Eisenwald?" Then seeing the strange brown creature in Cobra's hand, a faded memory came to his mind about something he had seen in a book, and so asked in concern, "And what is that you got?"

"Can we use the creature to receive riches?" asked Hoteye with interest.

"I don't know what this thing is," admitted Cobra, "I was at Eisenwald getting our tribute from them, when fifty or so of these things begun to attack the guild for some reason. But they didn't put up a very good fight, seeing that they only killed three of Eisenwald Members, the rest of the Eisenwald lot slaughtered them in a few minutes."

"Do you know what they are Brain?" asked Angel, when she saw her Master looking at the creature as if he had seen it before. But he wasn't saying a word about it at all, interesting...

"I don't know," Brain acknowledged her, "I do remember seeing a picture of it in one of the ancient tome I read a few years back. But I don't know what it is, but I have a bad feeling about this. I need to read up on this, because something tells me this isn't the last we've seen of them."

"Oh please Brain, those strange creatures were weak, if they were defeated with ease by Eisenwald." Cobra told his Guild Master.

"You might be right, but I can't shake off this uneasy feeling. There's something more to them," explained the Oración Seis' Guild Master, "so until I know for sure, we keep an eye out for them." And with that Brain left them to go to the guild's library to search for information about these creatures .

And Then…

Era, Magic Council Headquarters - That Evening:

An elder man by the name of Crawford Seam was in a large room, large enough to fit a few houses in and was opened up to the outside, giving the council members a superb view of the surrounding mountains. All along the edge of the room were large masterly crafted pillars; swirling designs put together with simple, straight sections made for beauty that was unparalleled and at the top of the pillars were arches connecting each pillar. The council members could also lean on a simple railing connected to the pillars to look out at the view. In the center of the room was a large round table with a map of Fiore and ten chairs around the table.

Crawford; a very broad, tall man with a large bushy beard that was knotted into a bun on either side. He exhibits a snub nose and moderately sized droopy eyes, high eyebrows and relatively small ears. Crawford also sports a small bun atop his nearly bald head; for attire, Crawford wears a black undershirt and a robe that he keeps tied tightly shut. Atop this robe, Crawford wears a dark-cuffed coat that has diamond patterns decorating the outer edges. Over this coat, the Council member drapes a dark cape of sorts over his shoulders that has a spade (with a dot underneath) decorating both shoulders; around his right wrist, Crawford wears a small beaded wristband. The large man also wears dark pants and light-colored slippers.

Crawford was the Chairman of the Magic Council, and was waiting for the other members of the Magic Council. He had called an emergency meeting when he learned about the report that Rune Knight Doranbolt gave about his mission in Eisenwald. The information was concerning him. The mission was simple, to find out what he could about the Dark Guild. Thanks to Doranbolt's powers to alter memories, he was able to get into Eisenwald with ease, and was able to get the information needed to get Eisenwald's Guild Master arrested and imprisoned.

Doranbolt had also been working to get the rest of Eisenwald members arrested and imprisoned. But his report had him on edge. Today was the day that a member from Oración Seis to come for their yearly tribute, but when this member came, he seemed to know that Doranbolt wasn't really a part of the guild and exposed his identity. Doranbolt wrote in his report that he was going to be killed when a huge group of strange looking imp like creatures attacked the guild, allowing him to escape, but not before seeing the Dark Guild slaughter these creatures with relative ease.

Whilst having Doranbolt discovered was problematic at least, the description of the brown creatures that Doranbolt gave was more concerning to the Chairman. As he recognise the description as of the brown creatures, as the followers for the Overlord. This was a huge problem, as he was an unknown element that cannot be controlled, bought, or predicted, and could ruin everything. Whilst he was the Chairman of the Magic Council, he was also an informant for Tartaros, the guild who was part of the Balam Alliance. He was doing so as being the Chairman of the Magic Council didn't bring in a lot of money, and he didn't really care what happened with the world as long as he was safe, and he had enough money in his life.

You see every Chairman heard about the Overlord, so that should one ever reappear, they could act and stop the Overlord before he could gain too much power. Crawford had two options, don't tell the Council about the new Overlord and just tell Tartaros and go from there, letting them know his thoughts as to what should happen. Or he could tell tell the Council as well, and so having both sides working against the problem.

In the end Crawford decided on the second option, as what had happened at Eisenwald worried him, and he suspected that there was more going on. But before he could think more about it, the rest of the Council Members entered the chamber, eight in total.

Once the members and he were seated, Crawford greeted them, "Thank you all for coming on such short notice, but I came across a report that you all should be aware of." And with that the Chairman explained what happened at Eisenwald.

"I don't see what we're here for," a blue haired Council Member told Crawford, as the Chairman took a break from explaining what happened, "by all accounts, these brown creatures got their asses handed to them."

Crawford looked at the blue haired Mage, the Mage was Siegrain, other than the blue hair, he had a red tattoo above and under his right eye, which he has had since his childhood. He was dressed in elegant yet simple robes; consisting of a long white frock-coat with black stripes across the edges and on the upper part of the arms, a decorated standing collar, large straps connected to decorated buckles closing the inducement on the front over a dark shirt, and matching pants and shoes. He also sported a ring on his right middle finger.

Crawford had to admire the young mage, he was only seventeen year old and the youngest Mage to ever become a member of the Council Member. To do so, you couldn't help but to admire him, even if he suspected there was more to the young man than meets the eye, not many young wizard saints want to have this much responsibility.

"Because of who they represent, the Overlord…" explained the Chairman, before going into what an Overlord was, and explained that the reason they were just learning about this was because it was on a need to know basises.

"So you believe that this Overlord has returned after all these years?" asked an elder Mage. Who was a short, old man with thick light-brown eyebrows and a small toothbrush mustache that reaches halfway to his mouth - he wore a brown long sleeve shirt with black vertical stripes and a black three-spiked hat.

"Yes Yajima and I am worried," Crawford told the Council, "before Overlord's of the past would go on an all out attack, but this one seems to be different."

"How is that?" asked a long dark purple haired female Mage. Her name was Ultear Milkovich. She wore a white kimono that came down to her knees and had only one sleeve on her left side leaving her right arm was bare, and she had a gold obi around her stomach and a dark red collar around her neck. She could also be found holding a glass circular lacrima often.

"We had reports of strange brown creatures stealing things and a few kidnappings, over the last few months," Crawford begun to explain, "at the time I just thought nothing of it - as I didn't have a proper description of what they looked like. It didn't help that they weren't killing people like they normally would. So seeing that there was no deaths or major fights until now, I think this attack was some sort of test."

"Why would you say that?" asked Ultear with interest, wanting to know what she could use for her own gain.

"I think that whoever the new Overlord is, wants to learn what the strength differences of today's Mages compared to his or her minions are like." explained the Chairman, "As it has been a few hundred years since the last Overlord appeared, at least the ones that were able to make it far enough, the Mages weren't all that powerful or as numerous."

"So what do you think this Overlord will do now that he saw his Brown Minions slaughtered like he did?" asked a tall middle-aged man, who wore small, round, dark shaded glasses. He wears a white and blue Magic Council cloak, always with the hood up. He had large thin lips and tan skin. He had black hair and huge sideburns that almost hit his lips. On his chin are small chin hairs. He also had small eyebrows that always point down, making him look angry and serious.

"I don't know Leiji," admitted Crawford, "he could just sit back and wait to find the other Minion Tribes, and get their Totems to make them more powerful. Or he might have some other plan that we might not know of yet."

"So what do you want us to do then?" asked Yajima.

"For now we try and find the other Minion Tribes and Totems, to keep them out of the Overlord's hand," explained Crawford, "and keep an eye out for anything related to the Overlord, and stop it if we can. And prepare for the worse."

With that the meeting went on and they talked about possible plans for how to handle this Overlord, and where they could find him and the other Minion Tribes and Totems.

To be Continued!

Author's Note - PLEASE READ TO THE END: Here ends Chapter 5 of The Dragon Overlord, and I want you to thank you all for reading and I hope you enjoyed the chapter. Although I wasn't too happy with the ending though, but I couldn't think of anything better to end it. I want to apologise for the late update, but at this time I'm having problems concentrating and so my writing is much more slower than normal, for this I apologise. And I would like to inform you I don't how long this'll last for, for a while I have problems concentrating, but of late it is getting more difficult problems concentrating.

I want to thank ZeroRequiem74 for Beta Reading this, but if you think you can do better, please let me know and you too can help me. I want someone to talk to about ideas and suggestions about the part I'm writing and how to make it better. If you're only want to be a Beta Reader, I'm looking for someone who is willing to alter things to make it better, even if it means deleting or rewriting it, or adding things to it. So if you are interested, and you are a fan of Fairy Tail, knowing a lot of it, please leave a review or PM me.

I have to say, reading the comics for someone who is meant to be the only one to be able to defeat Zeref, Natsu has been weak as fuck, even after his so called training, he still can get his ass handed to him. And with the only spell that meant to defeat Zeref gone, the only way Natsu could defeat him is if the writer pulls some shit move and create some sort of power boost at the last moment for Natsu to win. Which is why I'm give Natsu REAL training, and hopefully believable power boosts, through training and not some last minute thing.

As for the Dragon Slayers being female or male, other than Rogue and Sting, those who came from the past will all be female. Although I might make either Rogue or Sting female, and keep the second generation Dragon Slayers, other than Laxus who I have decide will be female, well stay as male, and as Rogue and Sting, I haven't decided yet. I'm still thinking about adding a few OCs Dragon Slayers. So if you got any ideas, let me know.

Possible Harem Members:

Edolas:

Edolas Levy.

Edolas Erza Knightwalker.

Edolas Lucy Ashley.

Edolas Lisanna.

Edolas Jellal. (I'm thinking about turning him female, who'll pretend to be a male to hide from her father. As in the show I find it hard to see that Edolas Jellal's father didn't send people to stop his son from closing the Anima portals. But in this story, I might send a few to Earthland to do so. Please let me know what you think of the idea."

Earthland:

Gajeel Redfox (Need female name please.)

Laxus Dreyar. (Need a female name please.)

Lucy Heartfilia.

Lisanna Strauss.

Mirajane Strauss.

Cana Alberona.

Juvia Lockser.

Erza Scarlet. (In two minds about this one, too much of a stick in the mud for my liking.)

Wendy Marvell.

Mirajane Strauss.

Bisca Connell. (Before she joins Fairy Tail.)

Kinana.

Zeref.

Millianna.

Flare Corona.

Ultear Milkovich.

Meredy.

Angel.

If there's others you might want in Natsu's Harem, please let me know and I'll think about adding them. I'm not adding Levy McGarden, as unlike her Edolas counterpart, she was too soft and kind hearted, and so most likely not going to add her.

I'm thinking about giving Happy a small Harem, which include Carla and Shagotte, and if I don't give her to Natsu, I might allow Happy to have Millianna. Although, I'm thinking about Happy and Natsu sharing partners, Happy would be the only one sharing Natsu's girls should I decide this path. Let me know what you think.

Please know that any flames will be ignored, any guests reviews that aren't useful to make the story better, will be deleted! I am a dyslexic, and had a bad schooling so without a Co-Writer/Beta Reader, my spelling, grammar and the way things are written will not be as good as the rest of the work here. So please don't moan about this, as it can't be helped.

And lastly, I would like to ask if you like this story to read The Magical Academy of Fiore by James Schaeche, it is an interesting read. It is an AU story, where there's no guilds, but they learn magic from a High School. It is a good read and I recommend you to read the story.

Either way, thank you for reading this story, and I hope you'll leave a review letting me know what you think, and any ideas you might have, as I'm looking for some. As I would like your thoughts about my first ever Fairy Tail story, be it bad or good, so please leave a good length review. One thing I'm looking for are ideas for new Overlord Items, and how to add them. I hope you can help me out.

Overlord Log!

Overlord Items:

Eye of Evil: An Orb to allow the Overlord to spy on people.

Coffin of Regeneration: A Coffin that can heal anyone from near death.

Spell Stones: Got a few spell from Overlord that I'll use, but I would like ideas for more spells that I can use. So ideas are welcomed here.

Mana Pillars: Going to be called something like Power Pillars or something like that, which give the person as the name suggests, gives power to the Overlord.

Health Pillars: Not going to appear, as I can't see how I could use them.

Minion Totems: Not going to appear in the story, as I don't like the idea of limiting how many minions Natsu can use at a time. Not only that, I had no idea how to add them into the story. Unless you have an idea how to alter them to fit into a story.

Tower Heart: To follow the Followship of Evil, the Heart will now be called Nether Heart.

Tower Smelters: Unlike the games, the first Smelter will still be at the tower.

Minion Hives:

Brown Hive: Like in the game it'll be in the tower.

Red Hive: Like the game not in the tower, in this story the Red Minions will be found near Sun Village.

Green Hive: Like the game not in the tower, but I am unsure where it'll be found, so ideas would be welcomed as to where to find it. Was thinking of some kind of swamp or something.

Blue Hive: Like the game not in the tower, in this story I was thinking they could be found on Galuna Island, unless you can think of another place for them to be found.
