"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!?" Makarov bellowed, Natsu froze, while Wendy and the three exceeds flinched. "WHY AREYOU TOGETHER WITH ZEREF!? STAY AWAY FROM HIM RIGHT NO-!"
"SHUT UP!" Zeref ordered, demanded, surprising Makarov. But they didn't focus their attention on him, instead they focus their attention unto the frozen pink haired mage, who was trembling.
"Natsu-nii-san!" Wendy cried, looking at the former's eyes, which was wide and unseeing. While Zeref was holding is brother's shoulder, shaking him gently.
"Natsu! Wake up! Otouto!" he shouted.
"What's wrong with Natsu?" Happy ask worriedly.
"He's probably… probably remembering something from the time he was in that guild." Wendy said.
"NATSU!" he shouted, startling the others to wake up and snapping his brother from crying, it also made Natsu to spin around and look at him. And then Zeref's breath hitched, Natsu merely look down at the floor and then they heard footsteps and doors slammed open but they didn't bother to look who made the noise after all it was confirm when they all began to shout.
"My lord is there something wrong with the prince?!" Invel asks.
"Zeref-nii-san! What happen?!" That was Wendy.
"What's wrong with Natsu, Zeref?!" Makarov roared, Zeref is not surprised about that but he didn't made any movement to answer their questions only when Wendy stands beside him did he heard the gasps or breathe hitched.
"Natsu-nii…" Wendy said, softly looking at Natsu's arms that was covered with wounds and was bleeding non-stop. Zeref looked carefully at his brother's arms, then at his hands and notice that they were covered in blood.
"Natsu…" he said softly, his brother look at him. "Did you scratch yourself until you bleed?"
"Everyone!" he declared, gathering everyone's attention. "Yesterday you saw me arriving with five people. You might be wondering who those people are… then let me tell you who they are…"
"…."
"They are my adopted siblings! They will live here like royalty, treat them with respect just as how you treat me… I promise they will do you no harm." He smiled and then the people.
"More leader to lead us!"
"We'll be stronger than before!" Zeref smiled before opening his mouth.
"Then let me introduce you… Prince Lily Dragneel!" he declared, Lily under Zeref's illusion appeared as a young boy with grayish skin, black spiky hair and a scar on the face. The people were quiet and intimidated by Lily's aura before they clapped.
"Happy Dragneel!" Happy then landed beside Lily with a bang, jumping from the roof of one of the houses, just like Lily he's also under an illusion with a blue spiky haired boy with the same height as Lily.
"Carla Dragneel!" said exceed appeared in her human form. People clapped at them they smiled.
"These three are exceeds who manage to learn our magic! Treat them with respect!" Zeref declared. People roared and shouted, creating a huge commotion. The emperor lifted his hand and they all went quite.
"First Generation of Dragon slayers…" he said, the people gasp. "That's right the other two are Dragon slayers!"
"Welcome the Sky Dragon Slayer Wendy Dragneel!" he declared and then wind began to gather at the center of the stage before Wendy appeared. They shouted, some men looking at her with hearts in their eyes.
"KAWAI!"
Zeref chuckled, Wendy blushed, before going to where the exceeds are. Zeref cleared his throat and look at his people.
"The next one is my real sibling… my long lost sibling…"
"The emperor had a sibling?!" the people declared Zeref smirked.
"Ah…" he look behind him and smiled as a shadow figure appeared behind the curtains.
"Welcome… the daughter of the fire dragon king… the fire dragon princess… Etherias Dragneel!" and then Natsu aka Etherias appeared smirking at them, walking gracefully wearing the same clothes she wore earlier.
"Hello… my subjects…" she stated. And the people knew she had them wrap around her little finger.
(Bloody 8: Arigato Master)
(During Lunch)
After the declaration about their emperor's siblings, which was half an hour ago, they all went inside, proceeding towards the dining room and waited for their lunch. As they waited, one by one the 12 Spriggan arrive and sat at their seats, some talking to each other, the rest are minding their business, except from Ajeel who was leering at his sister's C-cup chest, which of course didn't went unnoticed by said sister and now they had a fried dessert king. Zeref sighed tiredly before looking at his brother now turn sister.
"On normal cases…." He started, catching everyone's attention. "Male turned female are having a hard time to adjust… how come you're so calm and easily accepted this Natsu… I mean Etherias?" he asks, Happy chuckled, raising his hand.
"Aye! Natsu is already used on becoming a girl! Aye!" he declared, Zeref glance at him, smiling when the exceed is still in his illusion, before blinking in confusion.
"Eh?"
"What do you mean, Happy?" Lily ask, and just like Happy he is still under Zeref's illusion.
"Natsu-nee…eto eh.." Wendy closes her eyes, and rubs her forehead. "Ah! Etherias-nee is already used on becoming a girl?"
"That's unexpected… unusual if I might say…" Carla stated. Etherias sips her tea, gracefully. They all watch her, glancing at each other when they all notice that she acted like she born as a girl rather than a boy. She puts her tea cup down and lick here lips, which made Ajeel to lean forward.
"Ajeel…" Zeref growled, said mage whimpered.
"Can't help it when she's so cute…" he mumbled, Natsu chuckled.
"Well, I appreciate the compliment." She said. "And to answer your questions… I think it is because on some mission I used transformation magic (A/N: at the anime Mira taught Natsu, Happy and Lucy on how to use the transformation magic) Mirajane Strauss taught to me and Happy." She said, looking at her reflection on her tea. "She told us to transform as Lucy, which I succeeded. Happy also succeeded however, he only manage to copy the head." She smirked at the blue haired boy, who grins. "After that I kept on training myself on how to use that magic, and sometimes I read on how ladies should act."
"If you know how to transform then why didn't do that instead of temporarily changing your gender?" Invel asks, she chuckled sadly.
"Oh I did tried that Invel… before nii-sama found me last night I did what you asked, however… it only felt like I was wearing a second layer of skin and also, I felt like I was locking that what they did, what I feel… like I was trying to treasure it… so it only made want to bleed… until…" she glance at her brother, who smiled smugly, which made her to sigh.
"You look like you were expecting things like this." Brandish said, Etherias glance at her.
"No… I wasn't expecting this things… like I said… on some mission I transform into a girl… and that mission are usually solo… which is hard, considering I had teammates during those time, and if one chooses to get some mission then all of us will go."
"Aye! It was hard to sneak out!"
"So that's why you were mission for a few days, just you two." Wendy said, Etherias nodded and sips her tea.
"Etherias…" Zeref said, said mage look at him. "What kind of mission do you usually go if you use the transformation magic? And who else knew about this?"
"Hmmm…" she hummed swirling her tea. Happy glance at her before looking at his brother.
"It's something simple. Beating some Vulcans, capturing some thieves and bandits, infiltrating… oh! And gathering information as well!" he answered, Natsu nodded.
"Gathering information?" Lily raise an eyebrow, Happy nodded.
"Aye! When we left the guild there are some towns that we passed by and well… Natsu… I mean Etherias-nee wants to learn more about a thing or two on some powerful magic so he… I mean she used the transformation magic and went to some mansion that usually held some books… and sometimes… we infiltrate a dark guild that usually hold some forbidden magic." Happy finished, Zeref, who was drinking his water, suddenly spits it out, he's face towards his sister, who merely lean the chair to the side, where Happy is sitting, making the water pass her and then she sits properly. While the rest either choke or paled.
"Infiltrate!? Nats-Etherias!" Zeref shouted, Natsu chuckled and shakes her head.
"Relax nii-sama… I won't do it again… and who else knew? It's my transformation magic mentor, Lucy, and you guys." she said, looking at the table, and then the servants entered the room, together with their lunch and puts the plates in front of them. After a while, the servants bowed and left, once the door shuts Zeref began to ramble about how crazy the pink haired mage is. Said mage merely smiled and shake her head. After a while Zeref panted, and began to sulk and eats.
"You always ignore me…" he mumbled. All of them, except from Etherias, sweats drop not used on how childish their emperor is.
"Get used to it." Natsu suddenly said, looking at them. "As long as I'm here… he will have this childish attitude of his…" she glance at her brother before looking at them. "And maybe… you should call me Natsu if it's inside the castle, but if we're outside call me Etherias." She said, smiling at them.
"Why?" Wendy asks, tilting her head to the side.
"You guys are used on calling me Natsu… so I think you should just call me on my real name within the castle, false name when outside. Any objection?" she asks, they all shake their heads.
"One thing though…" August spoke, they all look at him. "Why Etherias? When there are other names that you could name the prince… princess after." He finished, Natsu sips her, then putting the cup down and chuckled.
"You're an attentive one." She commented, smirking at August, who blushed and coughed a bit. Zeref glance at her before looking at them.
"Etherias came from the name Etherious…. You can say that it's a girl version…. After all both title means the same, powerful." He stated, they nodded and then Natsu stands up and looks at the other occupants of the table.
"Thank you for the food, but I need to talk with Makarov-san." She said, before bowing and turned to leave the room, but before she could step out, she turned and look at her brother.
"Nii… you still need to talk to him." She added and fully left the room. After Natsu closed the door behind her, she leaned against it, sighing tiredly and then with a solemn look, she moved away and proceeded down the hallway.
(Back at the Dining Room)
After his sister closed the door, Zeref and his siblings look at the 12 Spriggan.
"Did we do something to offend her, My Lord?" Invel asks, Zeref shakes his head.
"No, she's just tired." He stated, they glance at each other before nodding. As they continued eating, Zeref and Wendy glance at Natsu's empty plate.
"Nii-sama…" Wendy started, Zeref hummed, glancing at her. "Natsu-nee-sama usually eat more than one serving… you sure she's just tired?"
"Don't doubt Zeref-nii-sama, Wendy…" Carla started, "She's tired and I'm sure she's having a hard time adapting or processing on what's going on considering she's the heir to the throne." She finished, they look at her shocked, before looking at Zeref for confirmation. Said black mage put his tea cup down and look at them, then at Carla.
"For an exceed, who can see the future, you sure can connect the dt without even using your gift." He smiked, which made her smirk as well.
"Cleverness is one of my talents nii-sama…" then her smirked disappeared changing into a shock expression. "But how did you know I can see the future?" she asks, Zeref smiled.
"Natsu told me earlier, she said 'Carla can see the future… so if you want to see the shocked face of your spriggan then I suggest you tell them sooner rather than later.' You still beat me though." He sighed, before he's expression went serious.
"She's right though. Few minutes before I announced my siblings to my people, when we were discussing what we should name her, I accidentally blurted out about her being the heir to the throne of Albareth and had the right to rule it, 'should anything happen to me. I was planning to tell you tonight, but…" he glance at Carla, who raised an eyebrow.
"I guess the clever people can't really wait." He finished.
"Is the princess alright with this plan, with your will?" August asks, the emperor nodded.
"Natsu maybe or more likely, always reckless but with proper training and lessons, she'll be the best empress next to me." He said, they all nodded in acceptance.
"Permission to speak, my King." Brandish suddenly declared catching their attention.
"Permission Granted." Zeref stated linking his hands together and leans his elbow at the table.
"Why are we suddenly talking formally during lunch?" Lily mumbled, Zeref blinked, and bit his lip t keep himself from laughing. Fortunately, his linked hands is covering his mouth. Wendy, Carla and Happy, chortled, before the blue haired boy slaps Lily at the back. Brandish glance at them before looking at their emperor, ignoring the other siblings.
"We've receive some report about a spy from Ishgar at the Caracole Island. We believe that they are here to gather some information about our empire." She stated, Zeref sighed.
"We'll deal with that later." He said, before standing up, followed by his siblings. "At the meantime, do you duties and Invel," he glance at the said spriggan, who look at him. "Prepare the meeting room and some papers." As he talk to them, his siblings bowed at the 12 and went to the door, when he was done, he turn and went after his family.
"Do you think it's the fairy tail, Zeref-nii?" Lily ask the moment the said brother closed the door.
"You might be right or you might be wrong. Chances are 50/50%." He said.
"They are here to get the master, right? Not us?" Happy asks, the black haired mage nodded.
"That's the only possible reason they're here. After all they don't know that we're here." They then proceed to where their pink haired sister is.
(With Natsu)
As the people she left at the dining room ate. Etherias a.k.a Natsu knocks at the door of the room where her former Master is staying at. A few moments after she knock, Makarov opens the door.
"Na-Natsu!?" he stuttered, before stepping to the side, gesturing for Natsu to enter. Said mage smiled and proceeded inside.
"What are you doing here, Natsu?" he asks, Natsu stops in front of chair by the window before sitting down and look at him with dull eyes.
"Please call me Princess Etherias, fairytail Master. I'm no longer in your guild, neither are my siblings." She stated, Makarov's eyes narrowed.
"What are you talking about Natsu!? Your Natsu Dragneel of Fairy Tail! Not Zeref's brother or sister! He's a monster for changing you!"
BAM!
Makarov instantly froze looking at Natsu with wide eyes before following Natsu's extended right arm which is connected to a dented wall beside her.
"Do not raise your voice at me. Do not tell me who I am and more importantly… DO. NOT. INSULT. MY. BROTHER!" She shouted before inhaling deeply.
"My brother only suggested to change me into a woman, I agree to it, so don't go and call him monster. And I'm no longer a fairy tail mage. I destroyed my guild mark, so did Wendy and the others."
"Natsu…"
"It's Etherias, Makarov-san." She said before standing up and proceeded to the door. "I want to talk to you about something but it seems it'll have to wait. It's time for you meeting." She then opened the door revealing her siblings, the oldest in a position that he was about to knock at the door.
'Should have taken the shortcut.' Natsu thought, pouting inwardly.
"You took the long route didn't you?" Zeref guessed, Natsu sighed.
"Hai…"
"Well, try talking to him later okay?" she nodded, making her older brother to pet her silky pink hair, before looking at Makarov.
"Please follow me." He said, turning away from the room. Etherias look at her former master over her shoulder before looking ahead and followed the oldest sibling, with her other young siblings beside her.
"What are you planning to talk to Master?" Wendy asks, Etherias glance at her, then pats her head.
"Don't bother yourself about it, 'kay?" she said softly, Wendy smiled before nodding.
"Hai!"
(At the meeting room)
Zeref watch as Makarov sat at the other side of the conference table, his siblings on his either side.
"Then let's begin." He said, leaning his elbow at the table and links his hands together.
"This meeting is about the conflict between my continent and yours." He added, Natsu wrote at the paper in front of her, the rest of the siblings followed suit.
"Yes, I'm here to talk about you planning to attack Ishgar." Makarov said, Zeref wave his hand dismissively.
"Nope. I'm no longer planning to attack anytime soon."
"Later then?"
"Probably?"
"Will you harm the people?"
"… No… I will not as long as they don't get in the way of the shield of spriggan… however I think a treaty will suffice…"
"A… treaty?"
"Yup… you will go back to Ishgar unharmed under certain conditions and if you follow it then we will do you conditions."
"…."'
"Well, that's up for you to decide."
"… Fine…"
"Well then, here are my conditions…"
After the conditions been met, Natsu stands up picking the papers they wrote and went towards Zeref, who signed the contract, at the last 2 pages however was a symbol of fairy tail and their empire. Natsu hands him a knife which he used to cut his wrist and let his blood drip at the fairy tail symbol before going to theirs. Natsu picked it up and went toward Makarov, who did the same but give the Albareth Empire the first drops of his blood. The pink haired princess then went to the middle side of the table and place the bloodied symbols in front of her.
"I, Etherias Dragneel, witnessed the treaty between fairy tail and Albareth." She then cuts at the middle of her palm, then the other witnesses followed suit. Just after Happy's blood finished dropping, the symbols began to light and then they merged. Wendy gave each leader a copy and then declared.
"Albareth Empire and Fairy Tail Guild is now in treaty! Should ever a condition is broken then the seal will be broken and the treaty will be ignored! Meeting adjourned!"
Silence…
Then Wendy sighs in relief, Natsu claps, the exceeds laugh and Zeref smiled.
"Well, it look like we had a future head council, dictator or prime minister here." He teased, Wendy flushed.
"I think she'll be a better doctor." Natsu said.
"No, too much blood." Zeref deadpanned.
"It's not like she didn't saw blood before." She rolled her eyes.
"No."
Makarov then clears his throat.
"If I may, I would like to head back home."
(At the dock)
Makarov watched as Natsu talk to her brother, the other siblings were sleeping in the castle. He couldn't believe it. He just can't, why would Natsu choose to be like this. Why would he… she choose to be here? The same goes with Wendy and the others. Makarov gritted his teeth and then watched as the pink haired mage went on board with wide eyes.
"Hime, what are you doing?" Brandish asks, standing in front of the said princess. Said princess smiled at her.
"Making sure you don't shrink the Caracole island or what nii-sama told me."
"I won't do that. *pouts*"
"Better safe than sorry, *Chuckles* beside I need to talk to someone." Natsu glance towards Makarov, Brandish followed her glance before sighing.
"Hai… hai…" she then raise her hand and then the soldiers let the sails down, Natsu sighed and went towards the guild master.
"You're not going to change your mind…. Are you?" Makarov asked hopefully, his expression fell when Natsu shake her heads.
"No… gomen ne master… but I can't just …. Forget what the other done and said… and if I left my brother, Zeref, might lost his sanity."
"Natsu…"
"I left my brother, died, because of my recklessness. I'm not going to leave him behind again, not after all those years I left him alone, even after he revived me."
"But what if he's just using you, Natsu?"
"Then I'll let him do want he want, without fighting back."
"Natsu… you're really selfless, you know that?" Makarov smiled proudly, but then tears slowly fell down from his eyes.
"Hai!" Natsu smiled cheerfully, before kneeling down to his level "That's why, Master… Arigato… for taking care of me, Wendy, Carla, Happy and Lily all those time." Her dull eyes then began to water.
"You're my most favorite children you know that right?"
"Hai!" and then Makarov hugs Natsu who reluctantly hugs back. And then the guild master cried, his tears flowing non-stop.
"I'm sorry if I failed you as a father Natsu!"
"No… you're a great father, master." Hearing those soft words, Makarov cried harder.
"Arigato…. Honto ni arigato… master…"
"Natsu!' she then brush his head with her hands small tears falling down. Brandish watch them from the corner of her eyes before turning around, ignoring them.
