A Dragon's Call
Chapter 6
" Alright hot shot. Let's see what we got today. " Laxus stood and walked upstairs to the S-Class job board as Syra pulled a piece of paper off the board.
" There are a few jobs for bandit culling. Another for investigating a dangerous creature rumour... " Syra fell silent as Laxus placed a hand on her shoulder. As she looked up at Laxus, Syra followed his gaze and saw a job posting on the board.
The piece of paper had a picture of a black dragon with blue markings on it and at the top had in bold letters: 100 Year Quest : Acnologia
" That's... " Syra's face went paler than usual before Gildarts spoke.
" Yeah... " Laxus crossed his arms with a fierce gaze as he looked toward the job listing
" My father has caused this guild a lot of problems hasn't he? " Syra looked away silently as Laxus nodded.
" Not just us. He is a problem that the entire world has had to put up with. Until someone figures out how to deal with him. " Laxus reached for the job posting but turned to face Syra as she quickly reached out and pulled it away.
" He is mine Laxus. Fighting my father is my job alone. " Syra looked at the job quietly for a moment before Laxus spoke.
" Not a chance kid. You are nowhere near ready to take on Acnologia. " Laxus put a hand on Syra's shoulder as she spoke softly.
" Not yet. But I won't risk anyone else taking this thinking they can handle it. The job is mine. Once I am ready, I will handle it. Until then, It has no place on the job board. " Syra spoke sternly before folding the piece of paper and putting it into her pocket. After a moment, Syra sighed and cleared her throat. " So then... Bandits or creature rumours. Take your pick Laxus. "
" Hm tough choice. I think bandits will be a nice workout and then if there is time we can tackle the creature rumours. Wanna ask Levy to tag along? " Laxus smiled as Syra giggled.
" I'd love to ask her but I don't want to wake her up. I'll ask her next time. Let's get going. It's a good two days travel to the town for the job. " Syra smirked before walking back to the bar as Mirajane placed a bag on the bar. After picking the bag up, Syra walked out of the Guild Hall with Laxus in tow.
Midday
Levy woke up slowly and yawned before looking around and realising Syra had already left. After stretching slowly and getting dressed, Levy walked to the Guild Hall. As she walked in, The usual activity of Fairy Tail was going on. Natsu and Gray were arguing, Lucy was watching Cana drink and Mirajane was behind the bar but Erza was with her, Talking and helping. As Levy walked over and sat at the bar, Erza spoke sternly.
" Of course I got it wrong! Do I look like a waitress to you?! " Erza had a look of irritation on her face as Mirajane spoke.
" I told you exactly where to take it! How can you get it wrong? You walk from the bar to the table Lucy is sitting at and put the plate in front of her! It isn't complicated! " Mirajane spoke sternly before sighing softly. " I am sorry Erza. I appreciate that you are taking the time to help me. We will work through this together. "
" Yeah we will. I just need some more practice... And... " Erza fell silent as Mirajane spoke.
" And need to listen more carefully? Need to stop getting distracted by cake while you are helping me? Need to stop staring when I bend down to get something from the lower shelves? " Mirajane giggled loudly as Erza blushed brightly.
" I... That's... You... But... " Erza turned away as she blushed brightly.
" That's what I thought. " Mirajane giggled happily as she walked over and put her arms around Erza lovingly as Levy spoke.
" Morning Mira. Have you seen Syra? " Levy smiled as Mirajane stepped away from Erza and turned to face Levy.
" Yes I have. She is out on a job with Laxus. They will be back in a few days. They have gone to deal with bandits. " Mirajane smiled as Levy sighed softly.
" She could have asked me if I wanted to go to... " Levy looked toward the door sadly as Mirajane spoke.
" She wanted to. But she also didn't want to wake you up. They left a few hours ago. Syra intends on asking you to go with her next time. " Mirajane smiled as Levy smiled happily.
" At least she is going to ask me next time. I suppose I can let her off the hook just this once. " Levy smiled before Gajeel spoke.
" HA! Admit it shrimp. You would let her off the hook every time. " Gajeel smirked as Levy pouted irritably.
" So what if I would? She is my lover. And why are you acting all friendly anyway? " Levy spoke sternly as Gajeel laughed heartily.
" Decided to join. After fighting with Salamander, I figured I'm gonna have a lot of fun here so I'm staying. Deal with it. " Gajeel smirked before walking to the table Natsu and Gray were sitting at as Levy turned back to Mirajane.
" Hold on... Isn't Syra's S-Class trial in a few days? Will she be back in time? " Levy had a look of concern on her face but sighed softly as Mirajane shook her head.
" Doesn't matter really. We will conduct the trial when she returns. It's not exactly on a set schedule. Due to the circumstances of course. " Mirajane smiled sweetly.
Two Days Later
Balsam Village
" When the job said Bandits... " Syra groaned as a bandit punched her in the face before she breathed in and released a torrent of white flame in a sweeping arc in front of her. " I expected maybe twenty. "
" Whats wrong kid? Don't like the odds? " Laxus laughed loudly as he pummelled a nearby bandit.
" Two against a hundred? They should have brought a hundred more. I kinda feel bad. " Syra laughed loudly before taking a deep breathe. " Silver Dragon's Roar! " A silver beam of energy burst through the lines of bandits as Laxus smirked.
" Tell me this isn't the best fun though. Tell me you don't love the odds. " Laxus tousled Syra's hair gently with a smirk before sending a bandit spiralling into the air.
" Of course I love the odds! This is great! " Syra smiled brightly before continuing. " I just think we need to speed things along a little bit. We are due back tomorrow and we still aren't done. " Syra ducked under a sword before punching the bandit in the face, A sickening crunch emanating from his nose before Laxus spoke.
" Well then... Be my guest kid. " Laxus tossed a bandit aside effortlessly as Syra grinned and her body glowed before she rose into the air and spoke loudly. " Silver Dragon Secret Art: Astral Roar! " Syra breathed out a torrent of multicoloured magical energy. As it hit the ground, A dome of expanding energy quickly filled the area. After a moment, The energy dissipated and the bodies of the bandits littered the area. " Did I miss anyone? "
Laxus grinned as he pointed to the edge of the area at the bandit leader who was glaring toward Syra with rage. " You bitch! You'll pay for this! "
As he ran toward Syra, He raised the massive sword he was holding as Syra giggled softly. " Heads up. "
As the bandit stopped and looked up, Laxus slammed his fist down on to the bandits head and smirked as blood rushed out of the bandits nose before he fell over and groaned.
" That outta do it. Drinks? " Laxus smirked as Syra punched his arm playfully.
" And food. I'm starving. " Syra giggled happily as Laxus nudged her and started walking back toward the village.
" With that reward we can buy more than enough of both. " Laxus laughed loudly before Syra tripped him playfully.
" We can't spend it all on food and booze. I have to get Levy a gift you know! " Syra giggled softly as a dumbstruck look appeared on Laxus face.
" I'm forgetting something important aren't I? " Laxus scratched his head as Syra nudged him.
" It's Levy's birthday in four days. I need to get her a gift. And I know just what to get her. " Syra smiled as she glanced at the bracelet on her right wrist.
" Hmm... What to get her... " Laxus scratched his head again before shrugging and standing up before continuing to walk back to the village. " Maybe a coat... " Laxus paused as Syra whacked him over the head roughly.
" You are buying a gift for Levy not for yourself. Don't you dare buy her anything you would wear. " Syra shook her head as Laxus chuckled.
" I'll try to find something else. I promise. " Laxus grinned as Syra sighed and they continued walking toward the village.
Levy's Birthday
As Levy woke up and stretched, She sighed softly. Syra and Laxus had still not returned. Levy got out of bed and got dressed before leaving the house and walking to the Guild Hall. As she entered the Guild Hall, Levy almost fell over from shock as everyone in the Guild Hall shouted loudly.
" SURPRISE! "
Levy stepped back and took a deep breathe as the shock wore off. " Don't scare me like that... " Levy gasped softly as her vision suddenly went dark and a soft voice filled her ears.
" Guess who. "
" Syra... " Levy giggled softly as Syra removed her hands and smiled as Levy turned to face her.
" Happy Birthday Levy. " Syra smiled brightly as she held up a small box. As Levy took it, Syra spoke. " I hope you like it. " Syra giggled softly as Levy tore the wrapping paper away. After opening the box, Levy's eyes went wide and a look of awe appeared on her face.
" Syra... It... " Levy looked into the box with wonder. Inside the box, On a small velvet cushion, Sat a gleaming silver necklace with a small locket on it. As Levy took the necklace out and opened the locket, A bright silver light made her glance away for a moment. As the light dimmed, Levy looked back at the locket. Inside was a shimmering jewel filled with swirling silver magic. After a moment, Syra took the necklace and moved behind Levy before draping the necklace around Levy's neck and clipping the two small loops on the ends together so it wouldn't fall off. As Levy sighed happily, She turned to Syra.
" Syra it is perfect. Thank you so much. " Levy hugged Syra lovingly but as she stepped back, Syra spoke.
" It gets better. " Syra giggled as her sword appeared in her hand.
" You didn't... " Levy smiled brightly before closing her eyes and opening her hand as she thought about equipping a weapon. As the gem in her necklace glowed, Levy felt a weight in her hand and looked down. In her hand was a long blade that curved at the tip and along the back edge, The metal was shaped to resemble flames. Along the sides of the blade, The metal was a fiery orange and had small yellow patterns along it. The colours matched Levy's mage outfit perfectly. As Levy smiled, Silvery flames ignited along the back of the blade as the metal glowed a soft red." It's so light... "
" Like my sword, It is enchanted with magic that makes it lighter. I also added some of my own magic to the enchantment. My flames are much hotter than normal fire so I figured it was a good idea to give it a little boost. " Syra smiled brightly as Levy looked toward her lovingly.
" Syra it is beautiful. How can I ever thank you... " Levy gasped softly as Syra stepped forward, Pressing her body against Levy's as she whispered into Levy's ear.
" This is just the warm up. Wait until later. " Syra kissed Levy's cheek gently as Levy blushed bright red.
" I... But... " Levy blushed brighter and had a look on her face that said she was struggling to contain her excitement.
" Later. Come and party with us Levy. " Syra smiled brightly as Levy sighed softly and nodded as she continued blushing.
As they sat down, Levy leant against Syra as Mirajane placed a large cake in front of Levy and slapped Erza's hand gently as Erza reached for it. After lighting the candles, Everyone sang Happy Birthday and Levy blew the candles out as she made a wish and smiled happily. After having cake, Everyone ate and drank to their hearts content.
After hours of celebrating, The Guild Members gathered around as Syra and Cana stared each other down across the table they were sitting at.
" You sure you wanna ride this train old lady? I can out drink you any day of the week! " Syra grinned devilishly as Cana laughed.
" Ha! You beat me? Dream on cupcake. " Cana picked up one of the numerous mugs on the table and drank quickly. As she was halfway through the mug, Syra slammed her first mug down and smirked as she picked up her second.
" Just cause you always drink obscene amounts doesn't mean I can't keep up. " Syra put the mug to her lips and drank it all in a few mouthfuls before slamming the mug on to the table with a playful glint in her eyes. " Don't fall behind Cana... Don't wanna embarrass yourself in front of everyone. " Syra smirked impishly as the Guild erupted into laughter as Cana glared at Syra irritably.
" I'll show you kid! I'll win this! " Cana started drinking faster as Syra powered through the mugs in front of her with little trouble. As the number of mugs were dwindling, Cana wavered unsteadily as Syra hiccuped softly.
" You... Hic... You stand... Hic... No chance Cana... Hic... " Syra teetered on the edge of her seat as Cana laughed heartily.
" Poor girl... Can't hold her drink... " Cana burped loudly before falling backwards off her seat and snoring loudly as she hit the ground with a loud thud.
" Ha. I told you... Hic... That you didn't... Hic... Stand a chance... " Syra grinned devilishly before her head fell forward onto the table and she snored softly as Levy sat down beside her and smiled happily.
" She has picked up a few bad habits. " Levy giggled softly before Mirajane spoke up.
" She has been hanging around Laxus and Cana... Ofcourse she has picked up some habits. " Mirajane laughed happily as Levy giggled and lifted Syra away from the table and put her arms around Syra as her head fell against Levy's shoulder.
" I love her just the way she is. Habits and all. " Levy blushed brightly as she tilted Syra's head up and kissed her softly. As she sat straight, Levy gasped as Syra smiled up at her.
" I love you too Levy. " Syra smiled brightly before standing up unsteadily and smiled as Levy stood up and put her arm around Syra so she didn't fall. As Syra smiled, Levy blushed lightly.
" Shall we go home Syra? " Levy smiled happily as Syra nodded.
" I still owe you the rest of your birthday present. " Syra looked into Levy's eyes with desire and lust as Levy blushed brightly.
" Yes... Yes you do... " Levy smiled nervously as Syra giggled softly.
" I'll have Erza take Amelia and Natalie to Fairy Hills for the night. They have been rough housing with Romeo all day and are exhausted. " Mirajane smiled sweetly as Syra and Levy left the Guild Hall.
As they walked home, Levy looked up at the stars as her free hand drifted to the necklace she was wearing. As they walked into the house, Syra teetered precariously over to the fireplace before sitting on the fluffy rug and taking a sharp breathe and releasing a flame small enough to ignite a fire in the fireplace without burning the house down. As Levy sat down, Syra turned to her with desire in her eyes.
" Are you ready for the rest of your present Levy? " Syra giggled softly as Levy blushed.
" Yes... " Levy blushed brightly as Syra giggled softly.
" Then you better come closer and unwrap it. " Syra blushed brightly and smiled as Levy blushed brighter.
Levy shifted closer to Syra and kissed her gently before pulling Syra to her feet and taking her mage outfit off piece by piece. After a few moments, Syra sat back down on the rug and pushed her mage outfit aside as Levy got undressed and sat down next to her.
" I am the second part of your present Levy. Do whatever you want with me. " Syra blushed brightly as Levy pushed her on to her back and laid on top of her gently.
" I intend to Syra... " Levy blushed brightly as she kissed Syra passionately and nibbled her bottom lip gently. After a moment, Levy sat up slightly and kissed along Syra's collarbone and down her chest lightly. After peppering kisses all over Syra's chest, Levy kissed down Syra's stomach and along her waistline slowly. As Levy was about to proceed lower, Syra flipped her on to her back and smirked before kissing and biting Levy's neck and collarbone gently.
Syra blushed lightly as she kissed down Levy's chest and stomach before brushing her lips along Levy's waistline before proceeding lower as Levy gasped loudly.
After several moments, Levy panted heavily as Syra kissed back up to her lips and looked into Levy's eyes as she spoke. " Happy Birthday Levy... "
" Best birthday ever. " Levy smiled before running her hands all over Syra's body as she kissed her passionately, Exploring each others bodies until early into the next morning.
The Next Day
Syra awoke slowly, Her arms and legs still intertwined with Levy's as the last few embers in the fire went out slowly. As Syra smiled, Levy yawned and opened her eyes slowly.
As Levy motioned to speak, Syra quickly closed the gap between them and kissed Levy lovingly and deeply. After breaking the kiss, Syra spoke slowly.
" I love you so much Levy. I hope you enjoyed your present. " Syra blushed brightly as Levy smiled.
" I love you to Syra and yes. I enjoyed my present. Best birthday present I could ask for. " Levy blushed brightly as Syra kissed her again passionately. " Promise we can do this more often? "
" More often? I was planning on doing this every night! " Syra giggled happily as Levy blushed brighter.
" I... I would really like that... " Levy smiled brightly as Syra kissed her again. They spent the remainder of the morning wrapped in each others arms before walking up the stairs to the bathroom and having a bath.
After a long bath, Syra and Levy got dressed into their mage outfits and walked to the Guild Hall. As they entered, Erza stood in the middle of the hall in her Black Wing Armour. As Syra motioned to speak, Erza spoke first.
" Syra it is time for your trial. Mira and I will fly with you to Tenrou Island as the rest of the guild sails there. Until they arrive you will spend time preparing for your S-Class Trial. Neither Mira nor I will provide you with any assistance in that time. Mira and I will observe how you handle the wilds of the island. We take no supplies with us. You must gather what you need from the island itself and survive until everyone else arrives. We leave at once. " Erza and Mirajane walked out of the guild hall before taking off and floating above the Guild Hall as Syra turned to Levy.
" I'll see you soon right? " Syra had a look of longing in her eyes before Levy hugged her gently.
" It will take at least two weeks to get there Syra. Please be safe until then. " Levy spoke nervously but smiled before kissing Syra deeply and watching her leave. After walking back out of the Guild Hall, Syra's body glowed as she transformed before she took off and flew upwards to where Mirajane and Erza were waiting.
" Ready to go sweety? " Mirajane smiled sweetly as Syra nodded.
" Follow us. " Erza spoke softly before turning south and flying out over the ocean at full speed. As they flew, Syra sighed softly at the sparkling water beneath her.
Nightfall
As the moon shone over the open ocean brightly, Erza, Mirajane and Syra were arriving at Tenrou Island. After flying at full speed all day, The three of them all but collapsed when they landed on solid ground.
" That was a bit much... Even for me... " Mirajane sighed exhaustively before Syra spoke.
" My wings feel like they are going to fall off... " Syra sighed heavily as her body shifted back to normal.
" Yeah... We may have pushed it a bit too much... Let's get some rest... " Erza sighed tiredly as Syra climbed a nearby tree and nestled into a small curve in the trees thick branches before falling asleep. As Syra slept, Erza spoke to Mirajane.
" Do you think she is ready Mira... I don't want to put her through this if she isn't. " Erza looked up in to the tree at Syra who was sleeping soundly.
" She is beyond ready Erza. She is capable of so much more than we realise. She is so much stronger than we give her credit for. She can do this. I know she can. " Mirajane smiled sweetly before leaning over and kissing Erza gently. " The question is who she will be fighting. Master Makarov hasn't said a word. " Mirajane turned away as a guilty look appeared on Erza's face.
" Yeah... He hasn't said anything yet. " Erza turned away slowly as Mirajane giggled.
" He probably has some sort of shock and awe panned. Make her fight someo... Oh no... " Mirajane looked at Erza nervously as a look of shock appeared on her face. " What if he makes her fight Levy... "
" Syra won't fight Levy. She promised that she would never use her magic against Levy. If Makarov does that, Syra will refuse to fight. She would never choose being an S-Class mage if she has to fight Levy. " Erza had a concerned tone in her voice before Mirajane sighed softly.
" I know... " Mirajane looked up to the tree Syra was sleeping in with a worried look on her face. " I just worry about her. " Mirajane sighed softly as Erza leant against her gently.
" I know you do. But like you said, She is a very strong girl. " Erza smiled contently as Mirajane wrapped her arms around Erza.
" I know she is... But I can't help worrying about her. " Mirajane smiled as Erza giggled.
" Let's get some sleep Mira, It was a long way to fly. " Erza smiled as Mirajane nodded.
Two Weeks Later
" Can we get off yet... " Natsu mumbled softly with a nauseous look on his face.
" Make it stop... I don't wanna lose my breakfast... " Laxus groaned unhappily as the boat rocked again.
" Ugh... Just get to land already... " Gajeel growled grumpily before Lucy spoke.
" You three are complaining about being on a boat while half the Guild sits in the Guild Hall waiting for us to get back? Really? " Lucy had a bewildered look on her face as Natsu groaned again.
Lucy, Laxus, Natsu, Gajeel, Makarov, Cana, Gray and Juvia were the only members going to Tenrou Island. After a few hours, The Large boat, Adorned with various Fairy Tail decorations and symbols, Made a grinding sound as Laxus and Gajeel pulled the boat ashore.
As they all climbed out of the boat, They heard an explosion from deeper in the jungle. As they rushed toward the area, They heard Mirajane and Erza's voices.
" She is fine Mira! Stop fussing! "
" I will fuss all I like Erza! She is our precious little sister! It's my job to worry! "
" What are you two... " Makarov spoke as they all stepped into the area. As they saw what Erza and Mirajane were arguing about, They all fell silent.
In the middle of the clearing, Syra was wrestling with what appeared to be a huge lizard like creature. The creature had a large body with small forearms and a hard looking dark patch on the top of its head that looked like it could break a boulder if the creature head butted one.
" Syra stop this immediately! " Mirajane spoke sternly as Syra giggled playfully.
" But this is fun! Besides I'm hungry! " Syra giggled happily as she was flung into the air. As she came back down, The creature attempted to bite her and hissed in frustration as it missed before Syra twirled and slammed her fist into it's head. As the lifeless body of the creature collapsed to the ground, Syra landed in front of Mirajane with a big smile on her face.
" Tada! Meat for lunch! " Syra giggled happily as Mirajane and Erza petted her head gently as Makarov spoke.
" That... That is a Doscadon... They are quite dangerous and yet you took it on like it was just a plaything. " Makarov spoke nervously before Syra responded.
" Yeah. It was fun. It kept trying to hit me with it's head but I'm too fast for a big lizard with tiny arms. " Syra smiled and giggled cheekily as Mirajane wrapped her in a tender hug.
As Mirajane let go of Syra, Makarov, Lucy, Cana, Gray and Juvia had looks of shock on their faces as Natsu, Gajeel and Laxus ran forward as Natsu spoke.
" There is enough for us all right? Let's barbecue this Lizard! " Natsu motioned to breathe in but stopped as Syra thumped him on the head.
" We want it cooked not burnt Natsu. Let me do it. " Syra giggled as Natsu pouted irritably. After a few minutes, Everyone was sitting around eating and laughing as Cana lifted a barrel to her lips and drank in large gulps. As they finished eating, Natsu, Gajeel and Laxus burped loudly and laughed as they talked amongst themselves about who burped louder than the other before Cana burped loudly, Making them all cover their ears.
" No one out burps me losers. " Cana smirked before raising another barrel to her lips.
" Now that lunch... And unladylike conduct is out of the way... " Mirajane paused as she glared at Cana. " Will you tell us who Syra will fight Master? "
" Indeed. Syra will have two fights. First she will fight Natsu, Gajeel, Juvia and Gray. After that she will fight Erza, Mirajane, Lucy and Laxus. Cana and I will observe for now. " Makarov smiled mischievously as Natsu, Gajeel and Gray all stood and stretched out their arms with big smiles on their faces.
" About time I got a rematch squirt. Your going down this time. " Gajeel smirked menacingly as Natsu seethed flames.
" Damn straight! We aren't going to lose to this little princess! " Natsu grinned as Juvia spoke.
" Juvia apologises for the beating she will give you. Juvia will not let you take her love from her. " Juvia glared at Syra menacingly as Gray looked at her with irritation on his face.
" Stop saying I am your love! We are not a couple! " Gray groaned loudly as Juvia snuggled up against him.
" Juvia feels so loved when Gray says he is her love... Juvia just doesn't know what to do... " Juvia blushed brightly as she kissed Gray's cheek gently and turned away.
As Gray looked at her irritably, Natsu and Gajeel roared with laughter before Makarov spoke with annoyance in his voice.
" Knock it off brats! It's time for the test. Now move it! " Makarov spoke menacingly with annoyance in his voice before Natsu, Gajeel, Gray and Juvia ran off toward a large clearing. After a few minutes, Makarov, Syra, Mirajane, Erza, Laxus, Lucy and Cana walked into the clearing.
As Syra stepped away from the others, Natsu, Gajeel, Gray and Juvia all spoke clearly.
" Fire Dragon's Roar! "
" Iron Dragon's Roar! "
" Ice Make: Cannon! "
" Water Slicer! "
As the four types of magic slammed into Syra, She groaned loudly. As the dust settled, Syra stood and took a deep breathe. " Iron Fire Dragon's Roar! "
A swirling mass of red and black barrelled through the clearing and hit Natsu and Gajeel. As they were knocked back, Syra spoke again. " Water Geyser! " As a torrent of water burst toward Gray and Juvia, Syra spoke again. " Lightning Dragon's Roar! "
As Juvia and Gray gasped as the lightning infused water engulfed them, Syra sighed softly. " That was kind of underwhelming. "
" We aren't done yet! " Gajeel groaned as he stood up. " Stop pulling your punches and fight like you mean it squirt! "
" Princess doesn't know how to do that. " Natsu smirked as an irritated look appeared on Syra's face.
" Juvia is also quite disappointed. Juvia expected more from the girl who destroyed Phantom Lord. " Juvia huffed softly as Syra glanced at Mirajane.
" It is an S-Class trial sweety. Go all out. " Mirajane smiled sweetly as Master Makarov nodded in agreement as Gray spoke.
" Definitely. If you can't go all out against us, How do you expect to beat Laxus, Mira, Erza and Lucy? Stop acting like your doing your best and actually do it. " Gray spoke calmly but gasped as Syra growled.
" Silver Dragon's Roar! " Syra breathed out a beam of silvery energy but everyone dodged easily before Juvia spoke.
" Water Lock! " Juvia raised her arms as a sphere of water engulfed Syra before Gray spoke.
" Ice Make: Lance! " Gray pointed his arms toward the sphere as a few dozen shards of ice slammed into the sphere of water, Freezing it solid. As Erza sighed and Juvia huffed, The ball of ice glowed brightly before shattering. As everyone looked toward her, Syra's body changed into her Transformation state as she spoke.
" Silver Dragon Secret Art: Astral Roar! " Syra breathed in as a swirling mass of colour built up in her mouth before she breathed out.
As Syra breathed out, Mirajane smiled devilishly. After Syra's magic faded, Gajeel groaned loudly but had a big smile on his face. " Tha... Ugh... That's more like it squirt. " Gajeel laughed painfully before passing out as Mirajane and Erza dragged them out of the way. As Juvia, Gray, Natsu and Gajeel rested, Erza, Lucy, Mirajane and Laxus walked out into the clearing.
As Syra looked toward them, Mirajane spoke sweetly. " Good luck sweety! Do your best okay? " Mirajane giggled as Syra smiled mischievously.
" Count on it. " Syra smirked as her tail swished through the air behind her playfully before Erza spoke.
" Re-equip: Heaven's Wheel! " Erza glowed brightly before she smiled as Syra took in the sight of the bright silver armour that Erza was now wearing.
After a moment, Lucy spoke. " Open: Gate of the Maiden: Virgo! "
As Virgo appeared, Syra gasped and sighed happily. " She is so cute! "
" How may I serve you princess? " Virgo bowed to Lucy before Lucy spoke.
" You will be fighting Syra. I assume you can handle her? " Lucy smiled as Virgo giggled softly.
" Ofcourse princess. I will not let you down. " Virgo smiled happily before Mirajane spoke.
" Take Over: Satan Soul! " Mirajane shifted into her Demon Form as Laxus smirked.
" Let's see if you can take me this time kid. Don't hold back. " Laxus smiled as Syra smirked.
" Come at me. Today is the day. " Syra smiled as Erza and Mirajane rushed toward her. As Erza swung her swords, Mirajane moved to sweep Syra's legs.
After dodging, Syra groaned loudly as Virgo landed a hard kick to the side of her stomach, Sending her spiralling to the ground as Lucy's whip wrapped around her neck.
" Gonna have to be faster than that Syra! " Lucy grinned as she pulled her whip, Tightening it around Syra's neck as Syra stood and started glowing as Laxus spoke.
" Lightning Dragon's Roar! " Laxus breathed out a torrent of bright yellow energy as Syra gasped. As the energy faded, Virgo kicked Syra into the air where she was met by a hit from Erza's swords that sent her flying sideways before Mirajane slammed into her from above, Slamming Syra into the ground. As Syra groaned softly, Lucy's whip released her and whipped back to her hand as Mirajane spoke.
" Stop holding back Syra! We are not going easy on you! " Mirajane lunged forward and slammed into Syra again, Sending her barrelling across the area before Erza darted forward and hit her with her swords, Sending her into the air again before Virgo kicked her in the side, Sending her spiralling toward Laxus, Who caught her by the throat and slammed her into the ground roughly.
As Syra motioned to stand, Laxus seized her by the throat again and threw her toward Mirajane, Who kicked her into the air. As Syra's upward motion slowed, Erza, Virgo and Lucy all lunged upward and slammed kicks into her stomach, Sending her rocketing to the ground with a resounding thud. As she stood, Syra groaned as Laxus spoke.
" This is disappointing brat. You are better than this. " Laxus lunged forward and punched Syra in the face repeatedly before tossing her toward Erza, Who kicked her toward Mirajane. As Mirajane caught her by the throat, Syra trembled slightly.
" Stop holding back. I will not tell you again Syra. You will not pass your test if you don't fight back against us. " Mirajane sighed as Syra coughed before tossing her upward slightly and kicking her into the air as Virgo exploded out of the ground and slammed into Syra. As Syra rocketed across the area and crashed through a tree, Lucy again wrapped her whip around Syra's throat and pulled hard, Causing Syra to gasp for air. After a moment, Syra fell to her knees as Lucy loosened the whip and pulled it back to her hand. As Syra groaned painfully and stood, Makarov spoke.
" Perhaps she is not as ready as you thought Mi... " Makarov froze as a wave of energy radiated from Syra.

" Whoa... That's intense... Bet that one is crazy powerful. "
On An Island, Drowned In Moonlight
" Wow! I can't wait to meet whoever that is! I bet they are gonna be lots of fun. "
In a hidden cave, Filled With Gold
" Hmm... What kind of treasure would contain such power... Perhaps I should investigate... "
Tenrou Island
" ENOUGH! " Syra breathed out a torrent of scorching silver flames as her eyes glowed a deep blood red with radiating flames of energy seething out of them. " I am done holding back. Silver Dragon: Ascension! " Syra's entire body glowed with a blinding light and increased in size dramatically. As the light faded and everyone turned to look at Syra, They stepped back in horror. Before them was a Dragon almost five times bigger than Acnologia. The Dragon had gleaming silver scales shaped like diamonds with glittering gold outlines, Her wings were massive and had a silvery, Almost transparent membrane covered in glowing gold lines and swirls, Running down her spine was a mane of long silver hair with golden tips, Her eyes were long slits that had silver spikes piercing bright gold and her horns spiralled over the back of her head and curled along the sides of her bottom jaw as she roared with a deafening level of volume despite her roar sounding almost musical, Causing the ground to shake and tremble around her as a second wave of energy radiated out of her, Sending shock waves through the magical energy in the atmosphere. As Mirajane, Erza, Lucy and Laxus stared toward her in fear, Syra's voice filled the air around them.
" Still think you can all take me? Still think I can be so easily defeated? DO YOU?! " Syra's mouth opened and a massive cylinder of energy burst through the area, leaving a massive circular groove in the ground as everyone scattered to avoid it. As the dust settled, Mirajane looked up at Syra as she roared again and stretched her wings out.
" Syra that's enough! You have made your point! " Mirajane spoke calmly but winced as Syra's gaze fell upon her, Causing her to freeze as Syra lowered her head so that Mirajane was almost reflecting on her silvery scales.
" My point? You think I was proving a point? " Syra's eye focused slightly as her body glowed and shrank back to it's normal size. As the light faded, Syra spoke again with a look of frustration on her face. " You told me not to hold back. So I didn't. "
" That... " Mirajane hugged Syra as she burst into tears. " That was honestly the most terrifying thing I have ever experienced Syra. Please never scare me like that again. "
Syra sighed softly as she wrapped her arms around Mirajane gently and hugged her before nuzzling against Mirajane's chest gently as Mirajane cried softly. " Sorry Mira. I... I lost myself for a moment... "
" It is alright sweety. But you let your temper overtake you for a moment. You know that is dangerous. Even though we pushed you to show your power, You should remember all our training and try not to let it slip again. " Mirajane spoke sternly but held Syra tightly as Syra looked away sheepishly before Mirajane turned to Makarov. " She is more than ready. She is beyond any of us Master. She deserves her S-Rank. "
" I agree. Her display of power marks her on a level the rest of us simply cannot achieve. If there was a rank higher than S-Class I would suggest it... But S-Class will have to suffice. " Erza smiled but trembled slightly as she pulled Syra into a sudden hug.
" I... I am so sorry... I didn't mean to scare you all. " Syra looked away bashfully as Lucy, Erza and Mirajane petted her head gently.
" It caught us off guard sweety. It really is alright. " Mirajane smiled sweetly as Lucy trembled heavily.
" Speak for yourself Mira... I thought I was gonna die! " Lucy sighed loudly as Syra punched her arm roughly.
" Funny. But yes... I am sorry. " Syra looked up at them slowly as Erza giggled.
" We wanted to test you. I don't think we can test you any further than you revealing your full power. " Erza smiled but her smile froze as Syra spoke.
" Uhm... That... That wasn't my full power Erza... That was just my Dragon Form. " Syra smiled nervously as Lucy descended into terror again and Erza's eye twitched slightly.
" You... Your still not... " Erza trembled slightly as Syra giggled playfully before Master Makarov spoke.
" Despite the terrifying display of power, I agree. Syra you are ready to be an S-Class Mage of Fairy Tail. Congratulations. " Makarov chuckled happily as Syra smiled brightly before Mirajane hugged her again.
" I knew you could do it sweety. I am so proud of you. " Mirajane petted Syra's head gently before Syra spoke.
" The good news is that you guys won't need to take the boat again. I can fly us all home. I suggest you hold on tightly though. Pretty sure I can cover the distance in a few minutes in my Dragon Form. Just saying. I should probably carry the boat back too though. " Syra giggled softly before Mirajane and Erza smiled.
Once everyone was ready to leave, Syra transformed into her Dragon Form before lowering a wing so everyone could climb up. Once they were ready and all had a firm grip, Syra took off before picking up the boat gently and flying at immense speed back to Magnolia Town.
Magnolia Town
Levy was sitting in the Guild Hall as the sounds of screams filled the air.
" Dragon! "
" Run! "
" Hide the children! "
" Get everyone inside now! "
Levy, Amelia, Natalie and the other Guild Members that stayed behind all ran outside quickly and looked up to see a massive silver Dragon landing in front of the Guild Hall. As they watched in terror, The Dragon lowered a wing and Natsu, Gajeel, Lucy, Gray, Juvia, Makarov, Erza, Laxus, Mirajane and Cana slid down the wing playfully and laughed happily as they landed. As the Dragon raised her wing again, Natsu laughed and spoke loudly.
" That was awesome! I didn't feel sick or anything! " Natsu laughed but fell silent as Erza thumped him on the head.
" She is not a mode of transportation idiot. Ofcourse you didn't get sick. " Erza smirked as Natsu glared at her irritably before Levy ran over and spoke.
" Erza... Why... Why are you all riding a Dragon and where is Syra?! " Levy looked around but gasped as Syra's voice filled the air.
" Don't tell me you don't recognise me Levy. Surely my colours are the same as usual. " Syra's giggles filled the air as Levy looked up at the Dragon with shock on her face.
" Syra?! WHAT THE HELL?! " Levy stepped back as the Dragon glowed brightly before shrinking and as the light faded, Syra giggled and smiled as Amelia and Natalie ran forward and tackled her happily.
" That was so cool! " Natalie giggled as Amelia nuzzled Syra's chest affectionately.
" We missed you Syra... " Amelia smiled happily as Syra kissed her head gently before Levy walked forward with shock and fear on her face.
" You... But... What... I... " Levy fell backwards as Syra spoke.
" Yes I am a Dragon. No I didn't know for sure until recently. Yes I can control it. No I am not immortal. Yes I was born this way. No I won't use it against you and No you have no reason to be scared of me Levy. " Syra smiled and giggled happily as Levy crawled toward her and hugged her gently.
" So you... " Levy barely said anything more as Syra pulled her forward and kissed her passionately.
" Passed my test? Yes I did. " Syra smiled as Levy hugged her tightly.
" I knew you could do it lover. I am so proud of you. " Levy smiled brightly as Syra stood and spoke.
" Amelia, Natalie... I have something to ask you. " Syra smiled as the two girls looked up at her. " Firstly I want to ask you to come and live with me and Levy. "
Amelia's face lit up as she smiled and Natalie jumped up and down happily before Syra spoke again. " And secondly... I... I want to ask if... " Syra paused nervously before turning to look at Levy, Who nodded with a smile. " I want to ask if you will become my daughters. I want to adopt the two of you. "
Amelia and Natalie froze for a moment as the words sunk in before bursting into tears and tackling Syra lovingly as Amelia spoke first. " You have no idea how much we have wanted to hear that. "
" Yeah. You have been a mother to us since we left our village. We have been hoping you were going to ask... " Natalie cried happily as Syra hugged them both tightly.
" I love you both so much. You are both so special. I am so happy you want to be my daughters. " Syra smiled happily as tears of joy rolled down her cheeks. " My two special girls. "
" And our very special mother. " Amelia smiled brightly and hugged Syra tightly as Natalie nuzzled against Syra lovingly.
" We wouldn't want anyone else to be our new mother. " Natalie was clinging to Syra tightly as Syra put her arms around her as Levy knelt down.
" This may well be my new favourite moment. " Levy giggled happily as Amelia and Natalie tackled her playfully.
" While you two do that... " Syra turned and strolled toward Laxus before punching him squarely in the face, Sending him spiralling into a nearby stack of boxes as Lucy's face descended into a look of horror as she spoke.
" Why would you do that Syra?! You could have hurt him! " Lucy rushed over to Laxus and helped him to his feet as Syra spoke.
" Because he is a moron who has neglected your feelings for him over something as stupid as hiding your name. He is acting like a spoiled child and I am gonna teach him some manners. " Syra glared toward Laxus with ferocity in her eyes as Lucy motioned to speak but fell silent as Laxus put a finger on her lips.
" She is right. I am sorry Lucy. Keeping your name from us was entirely your right and I had no right or justification for ignoring you. I love you. Truly. I shouldn't have ignored you. Can you forgive me? " Laxus looked into Lucy's eyes longingly before she stood on her tiptoes and kissed him deeply as tears welled up in her eyes.
" You big idiot... Ofcourse I forgive you. I love you more than words can say. Do you really think I could hate you for ignoring me? Idiot... " Lucy leant forward and kissed Laxus again before he picked her up playfully and draped her over his shoulder before walking back into the Guild Hall with a huge smile on his face as Lucy blushed brightly.
" That is much better. " Syra smiled before Levy stood and kissed her cheek. As Levy stepped back, Syra pouted and whimpered annoyingly. " Is that it? Just a little peck on the cheek? That's kinda disap... " Syra fell quiet as Levy pulled her forward and kissed her passionately. As Levy stepped back again, Syra hummed as a satisfied smile played at the corner of her lips. " Mmm... That's more like it... "
" Damn I missed you. " Levy giggled happily as Syra nuzzled against her lovingly.
" I missed you to Le... " Syra paused as an echo of energy rippled through her senses.
" Syra? Is something wrong? " Levy looked nervously at Syra before Syra turned and walked away before changing into her Dragon Form. As she raised her head, Syra let out a deafening roar that echoed over the horizon. As the echo faded, Syra looked around slowly before a roar, Different to hers, Answered her call from beyond the ocean's horizon. After a few minutes, A pearl white Dragon with fiery, Scarlet wings and mane, Flew over Magnolia town and landed outside the city. As Levy motioned to speak, Syra took off and flew outside the city, Landing beside the second Dragon as she spoke softly.
" So... You are the one that echo keeps coming from. My name is Irene Belserion. And you are? " Irene's voice was calm but had a hint of malice in it before Syra spoke.
" I am Syralogia. Why have you come here? " Syra spoke calmly and had a tone of curiosity before Irene spoke.
" I was curious to see who was sending those echoes of power. How are you so strong? Why do you have so much power? Who are you really? " Irene's body glowed softly before changing to her human appearance as she smiled slightly.
" As I said, My name is Syralogia... Syra for short. As for why I am so strong... " Syra paused as her body glowed brightly. As she returned to her human appearance, Syra continued. " I am an actual Dragon. I am not a Dragon Slayer that has turned into a Dragon like my father. I was born with my Dragon genes. "
" Intriguing... Your father? Who might that be exactly? " Irene looked Syra up and down as she spoke and gasped as a single word left Syra's lips.
" Acnologia. " Syra had a serious expression on her face as Irene stepped back and changed into her Dragon Form.
" It was... Interesting... Meeting you. Perhaps we will meet again. " Irene took off and flew back toward the ocean as Syra sighed softly. As she flew, Irene thought to herself.
" The daughter of Acnologia... And she is allied with Fiore... This will present complications... " Irene gritted her teeth as she pushed her thoughts away and continued flying.
After watching Irene leave, Syra walked back to the Guild Hall where Erza, Mirajane and Levy were waiting. As Syra approached, Mirajane spoke.
" You had a visitor I take it? " Mirajane smiled sweetly as Syra nodded.
" Who? " Erza spoke calmly before Syra responded.
" She said her name is Irene Belserion. She can change into a human like I do but she smelled kinda like Natsu. Dragon Slayer smell I mean. She seemed to get a little flustered when I told her Acnologia is my father. " Syra smiled before walking into the Guild Hall with Levy in tow as Mirajane turned to Erza.
" Think she might be a threat? " Mirajane spoke nervously before Erza shrugged.
" No idea. But we should be cautious just in case. " Erza turned and smiled at Mirajane before walking into the Guild Hall.
A Few Hours Later
" I still can't believe you are a Dragon Syra... I know you said that you are The Silver Dragon but I always thought that was like a nickname or something... I didn't think it was literal. " Levy spoke calmly as she looked toward Syra, Who had Amelia nestled in her arms, Sleeping soundly.
" I didn't either to be completely honest. But now everything that has happened with my powers and abilities so far makes total sense. It's kinda relieving really. I was worried that I was just someone with weird abilities but now... It's like knowing who I really am. " Syra smiled brightly as Amelia nuzzled against her tenderly.
As Levy motioned to speak, Natalie wandered over and climbed onto her lap before nuzzling against her and falling asleep as Levy spoke softly. " Such sweet girls... "
" Our special girls. " Syra smiled as Levy blushed lightly.
" Yes... Our special girls. " Levy smiled brightly as she wrapped her arms around Natalie and kissed her head gently.
The Next Day
As Levy and Syra walked into the Guild Hall, They heard Erza speaking.
" Time for you two girls to start training. You won't learn much just rolling around the hall wrestling with Romeo. Mirajane and I are going to teach you. " Erza glared as the two girls groaned in disappointment.
" But... We want mother to teach us... " Amelia looked away sadly as Natalie nodded. As Erza motioned to speak, Syra spoke first.
" And I will sweetheart. I promise. But I need Erza and Mira to teach you as well. They can teach you things I don't know or things that I am still learning. But I promise we will train at home together. " Syra smiled as Amelia and Natalie nodded happily. " Now you two be good and listen to what Mira and Erza tell you. "
" We will mother. " Amelia smiled happily as Syra blushed brightly.
" We promise! " Natalie grinned playfully as Syra petted their heads lovingly before walking away as Erza spoke again.
" Firstly, Mira is going to teach you how to control your magic. Solistri and Lunistri magics are a little out of our knowledge base but we can still teach you what we know. Listen very carefully and make sure you pay attention. " Erza spoke sternly before the two girls nodded and followed her outside where Mirajane was waiting.
As they stepped outside and sat down on the grass, Mirajane spoke. " So to start off, I want you two to meditate. You need to focus entirely on your magical energy. Nothing else around you matters or exists. Only you and your magic. Concentrate and breathe slowly. " Mirajane watched as Amelia and Natalie closed their eyes and breathed slowly. After a few moments, the two girls began glowing with a soft light that reflected the colours of sunlight and moonlight. " Very good. Feel your magical energy flowing through you. Follow it to where it begins, To your magical origin. Concentrate. "
As they glowed softly, Amelia and Natalie breathed slowly as a gentle energy radiated out of them. After a few minutes, Amelia and Natalie opened their eyes and smiled happily as Mirajane spoke.
" Excellent start. Let's practise some spells now. " Mirajane spoke calmly.
Meanwhile
" I can't believe how comfortable my outfit is. It's like I'm not even wearing it. " Levy giggled softly and ran her hands along the edges of the leather corset as Syra giggled softly.
" Yeah. I don't know exactly what Jasmine does with the material but it is unimaginably comfortable. " Syra smiled before continuing. " So... Are we going to train together today? You have been studying that book I got you right? "
" I was reading it while you were off doing your S-Class trial. It is very informative. " Levy giggled softly as they rounded a corner and walked toward their house. After walking around the side of the house, Syra and Levy stood in the large open area at the back that Syra wanted to use as a training area. " You were right. This is perfect for training in. Needs a few training aids such as targets or sparring dummies but other than that... "
" Shall we get started then? I want to see the new spells you have learned. " Syra giggled softly as Levy smiled.
" Well actually the spells are the same. The book doesn't really teach new ones... It more shows how to combine the ones I know. Combining the elements that I already use. Solid Script Magic is quite versatile in that as long as you have a word, You can use it to form magic. Some Solid Script Mages can even make their words imitate the substance they contain. Butterflies for example. Using the word Butterfly, Some Mages can make the word either actually become butterflies or act the way a butterfly does. It's quite an interesting form of mag... Why are you giggling Syra? " Levy pouted slightly as Syra giggled before speaking.
" You are just so adorable when you do that. " Syra smiled as Levy looked at her with confusion on her face.
" Do what? " Levy tilted her head slightly as Syra giggled again.
" When you nerd out like that and start talking like a teacher. It's adorable. " Syra giggled softly as Levy blushed brightly.
" Well... I... You... Just... " Levy pouted before huffing as she turned away irritably. " You shouldn't make fun of me for tha... Mm... " Levy hummed softly as Syra wrapped her arms around her and nibbled on her ear gently.
" What will you do Levy... " Syra whispered seductively as Levy continued blushing furiously.
" Syra... " Levy hummed again as Syra continued nibbling her ear gently before stepping back and giggling softly.
" Yes? " Syra smiled happily as Levy pouted at her before huffing and turning away again.
" That is unfair. " Levy pouted as Syra giggled happily.
Fairy Tail Guild Hall
" Again. " Erza spoke plainly as Amelia fell to her knees and breathed heavily.
" But... " Amelia fell silent as Erza glared at her.
" Again. " Erza smiled as Amelia stood and took a slow breathe before speaking.
" Solistri: Solar Flare! " Amelia spoke clearly as her hands glowed and a beam of sunlight tore across the area, Leaving scorched ground in it's wake. As her magic faded, Amelia again fell to her knees.
" That's better. You need to learn how to regulate the amount of magic you put into each spell. " Erza spoke calmly but had a serious tone before Mirajane spoke.
" Controlling your magic can be hard work but it pays off in the end. " Mirajane smiled sweetly as Amelia sighed and nodded. " Alright, Amelia take a rest for a bit while Natalie has a go. "
Amelia moved to the side of the area as Natalie giggled and ran forward excitedly before speaking. " Lunistri: Moon Blast! "
A ball of moonlight barrelled across the area, leaving a curved trail in the ground. As her magic faded, Natalie giggled softly. " Oops... Maybe a bit too much magic? "
" Just a little. But you will both learn control before you know it. " Mirajane smiled sweetly before petting Natalie's head gently as the four of them walked back into the Guild Hall for a rest. After a few hours, The two girls continued practising magic.
Nightfall
As Syra and Levy walked into the Guild Hall to get the girls, They were expecting to find them asleep. Instead, They found Amelia, Natalie and Romeo fighting throughout the Guild Hall as if they had slept all day.
" Knock it off brats! You lot haven't stopped for hours! Give it a rest! " Makarov growled as Amelia and Natalie poked their tongues out at him and continued rolling around the hall. " Those three never quit... "
" It reminds me of when the rest of us were kids. " Mirajane giggled softly as Makarov groaned softly.
" You punks were always causing trouble. You especially Mira. " Makarov chuckled slightly as Syra sat down at the bar with Levy beside her. As Syra was about to speak, She heard Natsu speaking.
" So hang on, Your a Celestial Spirit Loke? " Natsu had a look of disbelief on his face as Loke chuckled softly.
" Yeah... Sorry I didn't tell you guys. " Loke spoke before grinning as Syra spoke.
" You never noticed Natsu? He smells different to everyone else. It was kinda obvious that he was different to the rest of us. " Syra smirked as Natsu glared at her irritably.
" I had no idea. It explains why he was always acting weird around me though. " Lucy giggled softly as Loke took something out of his pocket.
" Here Lucy. Got you something. " Loke handed Lucy what appeared to be tickets. " They are tickets to the Akane Resort, A popular vacation spot for tourists. You should take some friends and relax. " Loke smiled before disappearing as Lucy smiled.
" A vacation is a great idea. Relaxation here we come. Let's get packed guys. " Lucy smiled as she turned to Erza, Natsu and Gray.
" A bit of relaxation does sound nice. " Erza sighed softly as she thought about it with a smile.
" Just think of all the food we can eat! " Natsu drooled slightly as Happy popped up beside him.
" Aye! But Lucy shouldn't eat too much. She is too fat already. " Happy looked away innocently as Lucy glared at him.
" Shut it cat or I'll turn you into a handbag! " Lucy had a look of irritation on her face before turning and storming away.
" Lucy is so mean! " Happy sniffled sadly before Syra spoke.
" Says the one that calls her fat. " Syra had a look of impatience on her face as Happy turned to her.
" You know Syra... You are getting fat too. " Happy looked up at Syra innocently.
" Now that you mention it... " Syra turned away for a moment before spinning around and kicking Happy, Sending him flying across the area before crashing into a tree and sliding to the ground as Syra continued. " Now that you mention it I have been meaning to tell you that you should never tell a girl she is fat. Let that be a lesson for you. "
Happy groaned softly as Natsu rushed over to see if he was okay before Syra turned and walked into the Guild Hall as everyone looked toward her in shock.
After about an hour, Lucy, Erza, Natsu and Gray left Magnolia Town. After waving goodbye, And laughing at Happy getting kicked by Lucy as well, Syra walked home. As she walked in, Syra heard happy voices and giggling sounds coming from the kitchen. As she walked in, Syra stopped in her tracks as a pancake hit her in the face and the kitchen fell quiet.
After a moment, Syra took the pancake off her face and took a bite before giggling softly. " Needs more sugar. "
" Syra I am so sorry... " Levy spoke sheepishly as Syra walked over and kissed her cheek lightly.
" Of the things I was expecting to find when I got home... I must say that flying pancakes were not on the list. That being said, I don't mind. It was quite funny to have a pancake hit me in the face. " Syra giggled happily as Amelia and Natalie laughed happily.
After a few minutes, And several flying pancakes, Syra, Levy, Amelia and Natalie each had a stack of pancakes on a plate in front of them. As Syra smiled and kissed Levy's cheek, Natalie drooled as her eyes looked as if they would pop out of her head before taking a huge bite out of the side of her pancake stack as Amelia giggled.
After cleaning up and washing the dishes, Amelia and Natalie ran outside to practice their magic as Syra flopped onto one of the comfortable couches and sighed as she relaxed. As Syra sighed, Levy sat on the couch before leaning against Syra gently. " I could stay like this forever Syra. Making pancakes with our girls in the morning and relaxing while they play outside... It's so perfect... "
" I couldn't imagine sharing this life with anyone else Levy. I love you so much. " Syra kissed Levy's forehead gently as she blushed lightly before Amelia and Natalie rushed into the room and lunged onto the couch, Tackling Levy and Syra in the process. After getting up and lifting the tipped over couch back to the way it was, Syra petted Amelia's head affectionately. " My two little troublemakers. Did you practice your magic? "
" Yeah! We are gonna be really strong when we get bigger! " Natalie beamed proudly as Levy tousled her hair gently.
" We are gonna be the strongest! No one will stand up to us! " Amelia grinned proudly as Syra knelt down and spoke softly.
" I know you will be but always remember, Having power does not make you any better than anyone else. You are still a person like the rest of us. Confidence is good but don't be egotistical okay? " Syra spoke calmly and looked nervous as Amelia looked taken aback for a moment before she smiled brightly and hugged Syra tightly.
" I promise Mother. I won't be mean to everyone. " Amelia smiled happily as Syra hugged her tightly.
" Good girl. Now go and play. I am going to go for a walk to get some sunshine. I'll see you two later okay? Don't demolish the Guild Hall while I am out walking. " Syra smiled as Amelia and Natalie grinned mischievously before running out of the house. " Those two... "
" They remind us all of when we were that age. Erza and Mirajane always fought but were always friends. Natsu and Lisanna used to hang out all the time before she died. Gray losing his clothes was a problem even when he was young. " Levy smiled brightly as memories filled her mind.
" Must have been a really special time, Growing up in Fairy Tail. " Syra sighed softly before walking out of the house and wandering around Magnolia Town. As she wandered, Syra ended up at Seductive Sweets. As she entered, Syra was greeted by the familiar voice of the waitress.
" Welcome to Sed... Oh! Miss Syra! Please come in! " The waitress smiled brightly as Syra giggled and sat down. " It has been a while since you were last here. What would you like today? "
" Actually... I don't know. I was wandering around and kinda just ended up here... Can you recommend something? " Syra looked up at the waitress as she smiled and nodded.
" Personally I find the Macadamia and Salted Caramel Tart to be quite nice. I usually have it with a warm cup of Peach Blossom Tea. Will that be sufficient? " The waitress looked at Syra with hope in her eyes but smiled brightly as Syra nodded happily. After a few minutes, The waitress returned and placed a small cup of tea and a plate with a small round tart on it in front of Syra. After eating the tart and sipping her tea, Syra paid for her meal and left, Feeling a little flustered as the aftershocks of the tart echoed through her senses.
As she walked, Syra spotted Levy in a small park on her way back to the Guild Hall. As she approached, Syra heard Levy speaking nervously.
" Should I ask... But maybe it would sound desperate... Or what if I say it wrong... " Levy groaned softly before gasping as Syra giggled softly.
" Something on your mind Levy? " Syra smiled mischievously as Levy blushed brightly and shook her head before running off quickly. After a few minutes, Syra walked to the Guild Hall wondering what Levy was so flustered about. As she walked in, Syra nearly tripped over as Romeo and Amelia rolled past her, Fighting as usual.
After walking to the bar and sitting down, Syra spoke to Mirajane. " Say Mira... I saw Levy looking all flustered earlier. Do you know what's going on? "
" Yes but I promised not to say anything about it. Levy was very absolute that only her and I must know. For now. Give it time Syra. Levy will tell you everything when she is ready. " Mirajane smiled sweetly as Syra nodded and stood up before walking to the job board.
" Let's see... Not much on the normal board. Better check the S-Class. " Syra hummed softly as she walked up the stairs and looked at the S-Class job board. " Hmm... Treasure Recovery... Dark Guild... Cult Destruction... Wait a sec... What's that? " Syra pulled a notice off the board and read it. The parchment was jet black and had fiery red flames along the bottom. " Dragon sighted on volcanic island in the eastern sea. Help required... Another Dragon... " Syra rushed downstairs to the bar before showing the posting to Mirajane. " When did this job come in? "
" Today. No one else has seen it yet. " Mirajane had a tone of concern in her voice before Syra spoke.
" Did it happen to come with a map? " Syra spoke hopefully but pouted as Mirajane giggled and turned the job posting over, Revealing directions on the back. " Ofcourse it's on the back. It's quite the journey though... And Levy looked like she wanted to tell me something earlier... "
" This is important to you Syra. I can see it in your eyes. I will handle Levy. Go and see whatever it is that you need to see on this job and come back to us safely. " Mirajane smiled sweetly as Syra nodded before walking home and packing a backpack. Before leaving, Syra walked back to the Guild Hall and said goodbye to Amelia and Natalie but couldn't find Levy. As Syra's body changed into her transformation state and she took off, Flying east, Levy ran toward the Guild Hall and shouted out but Syra didn't hear her.
" Tell me she is coming back Mira. Tell me this won't be the last time I will see her... Please... Tell me I will get to say what I need to say to her... Please... " Levy bit her lip as Mirajane placed a hand on her shoulder.
" Levy... This is Syra we are talking about. Nothing could keep her away. " Mirajane hugged Levy gently before walking back to the Guild Hall as Levy looked longingly toward the horizon as Syra vanished beyond it.
Two Days Later
" I am glad I rested last night on that little island... But why did it have to be a storm today... " Syra struggled to fly as thunder and lightning raged around her. As she flew on, Syra looked up as a lightning bolt slammed into her. As her vision darkened, Syra heard what sounded like wings flapping.
Syra awoke a few hours later in a warm cave to the sound of a young man huffing impatiently. " Damn kid. Making me fly out and save her ass in that storm. Pft. I expected more. "
" More what? Who are you? " Syra looked toward the young man as he turned to face her. The young man was toned and muscular, Had flame shaped hair that styled upward and was lightly coloured. Along his skin were numerous tattoos, The main one was a large sun on his left upper chest. He wore loose pants with fur lining along the middle, Separating the dark top half and the lightly coloured bottom half of his pants. As he spoke, His voice echoed tones of an arrogance and condescension.
" I am Ignia. The Fire God Dragon. Blood Son of Igneel, King of Fire Dragons. And you are the runt that took my job post and got electrocuted in the storm. Kinda pathetic for someone like you. " Ignia huffed disinterestedly but looked toward Syra as she stood.
" Check that tone hothead. I don't like it. " Syra glared as her eyes ignited with silver flames. As Ignia looked toward her, He grinned slightly.
" So that's how it's gonna be runt? Do your worst. " Ignia laughed loudly before Syra took a deep breathe.
" Silver Dragon Secret Art: Astral Roar! " As Syra breathed out, A thunderous roar shook the cavern as a torrent of colour barrelled toward Ignia, Who simply smiled and took the hit. As Syra's magic faded, Ignia groaned softly.
" Now THAT'S an attack! I'm impressed runt. But it ain't got nothing on my flames. " Ignia took a deep breathe before speaking as he breathed out. " Fire Dragon's Roar! " As he breathed out, Flames much hotter than Natsu's engulfed Syra. After a few moments, Ignia laughed loudly but fell silent with a look of shock as Syra spoke.
" Intense. But now it's my turn. Thanks for the boost by the way. " Syra smirked as she breathed in. " Silver Dragon's Inferno! " As Syra breathed out, Her flames swirled before erupting forward with scorching intensity and heat that rivalled molten lava. As it engulfed Ignia, He laughed maniacally. As the flames receded, Ignia looked toward Syra with a menacing glint in his eye and a maniacal grin on his face.
" Your interesting. Hang around kid. You and I are gonna get along real well. " Ignia laughed loudly as Syra giggled softly.
