Unfortunately this is not a Wizards and Mages chapter, this is the second Soulless chapter where Reese is introduced to Zeref and his little brother, and by the way I am reading this book that Sofia has recommended to me. It's called Six of Crows where there is this person called Kaz and Sofia wants to be the female version of him. Let me know in the review section if you have read this book. The only exception where I use honorifics is in this fanfiction because yeah, too confusing. Zeref in the beginning of the chapter is twelve years old and starts to gradually grow from there.
Some text from the story which I love and I do not own:
"Take good care of my babies," Jesper said as he handed them over to Dirix, "If I see a single scratch or nickel on those, I'll spell forgive me on your chest in bullet holes."
"You wouldn't waste the ammo."
"And he'll be dead halfway through forgive," Big Bolliger said as he dropped a hatchet, a switchblade, and his preferred weapon- a thick chain weighted with a heavy padlock- into Rotty's expectant hands.
Jesper rolled his eyes. "It's about sending a message. What's the point of a dead guy with forg written on his chest?"
"Compromise," Kaz said. "I'm sorry does the trick and uses fewer bullets."

The Dragneel Family Chapter 2
"Well Zeref, what does your brother look like?" Reese asked, trying to help the big brother.
Zeref narrowed his eyes at her, "Mummy and daddy said that I should never trust strangers."
Reese laughed, "Zeref, do I look like I am a person who will harm you for no reason?"
He shook his head; she smiled and grabbed his hand gently motioning him to follow her. "Well then, lets go find him together then shall we?"
Five minutes have gone by and they still haven't found him yet, Zeref started to get nervous. She could sense his aura and tried to calm him down. After she had finally calmed him down, Zeref wanted to know more about this person.
"I never got your name."
She suddenly halted and face palmed, "Sorry, it's just the only company I had for a while were the stars. The only source of information I had for a long period of time, hen your only company are the stars you sometimes forget introductions." She sighed as they carried on searching.
Zeref had thought over her answer, her only company was the stars… it then suddenly hit him like a falling brick that landed on his head, well it was actually a stick.
"You're a mage?"
She put a finger on her chin as she seemed like she was trying to solve a very difficult riddle, "If that's how you people say beings with magic then yes, I am a mage."
His eyes lit up, "Really, I'm going to a magic school in a few weeks time, if you could tell me the origin on One Magic then that will be great!"
Reese sweat dropped, to be honest with you readers she doesn't really know it. If you weirdoes who are talking to their phones/computers/tablets saying, wait aren't you like an original being of magic, aren't you like supposed to know the origin of magic? Please stop didn't you read that Reese stayed in the Celestial Spirit Realm for like most of her life? She tried to explain magic in her own knowledge to Zeref, as he hung onto every single detail. They heard a rustle coming from the bushes which caught their attention; a figure emerged from their hiding place.
He was a small boy (age: seven) with spiky pink or salmon hair sticking out all over the place; he was attractively tanned for his age and had green slanted eyes to compliment it. He wore a brown dress shirt and black baggy trousers with a pair of sandals to finish it off. When he saw Zeref, tears started forming in the corner of his eyes as he flew towards him.
"Onii-san!"
"Onii-chan! Why did you run off?!"
She smiled at the reunited brother but stopped hen her instincts shot up (phoenixes have instincts instead of senses, they're not always accurate but are on the right track), something was coming and it was dangerous.
It had been a while since their children had left for their games. The father had a burly figure, similar to Natsu he had slanted eyes but the colour black, his outfit consisted of a large white neck cuff revealing his well defined chest. His hair was pink or salmon (just pick one), shaved at the back and spiky at the front. From looking at him you could tell that he was a warrior, not to mention Natsu's father. The mother had dark obsidian colored hair that was up in a bun and had cobalt green eyes that glimmered in the sunlight making it look like an emerald; she wore tribal attire that exposed the middle part of her breasts, black sleeves that covered her arms finished with golden trimmings. Around her neck she wore a necklace that consisted of six multi-colored stones which are just element holders. If you didn't guess already this is Natsu's mother, secretly known as Chaos.
Before they could begin their search, they already appeared with Reese behind them, as they ran into their parents loving arms they turned to Reese who carried on reading her book. She closed it and looked up, she stopped breathing when she saw Natsu's mother or as we know Chaos.
She was astonished on how powerful her aura was and didn't believe that existed until this very moment, she shook off her thoughts and cleared her throat, "I found your son wandering round in the woods alone looking for his brother, so I accompanied him until we found Natsu and returned here."
"She can use magic!" That caught both their parents attention, "When a monster came up, she used this cool earth spell to defeat it. It was so cool!" Natsu exclaimed jumping up and down while Zeref was doing no better, he couldn't stop smiling and sprouting the fight to his parents.
Chaos wasn't fooled though, she knew that Reese was a pillar but she had to thank her for saving her children.
"Thank you for saving our children; it would be our honor if you joined us for dinner." She said, bowing.
"Well—"
"I insist."
She grinned, "If you say so."
Dinner went by quickly as noon turned into bedtime, meaning that the children had to go to sleep. As they were sleeping sound asleep, Reese made her move to leave until she was stopped.
"I know who you are, Reese, daughter of Nescryn and Tanabata."
She smirked while putting her hands on her hips, "I also know who you are, Chaos. I haven't seen that much power before; you're even more powerful in person."
They smiled at each other, releasing the tension from the area.
"I must again thank you for saving my children; if you weren't there then I would have to show my true identity. That could have put my family in danger."
"To be honest, I think your family is prone to danger," Her smile faded away into a frown, "I have heard rumors of dragons having rampages on the land, terrorizing villagers and worrying the Council. Is this true?"
Chaos looked down and nodded, "Unfortunately it is, and I'm guessing you're planning to try and put an end to it."
She gave Chaos a wide grin, "We've only just met but I feel like we've known each other for a long time! Well I best be off, faceling (face time) me when Zeref goes Mildian Magic School, I can escort him there."
She smiled, "Count on it."
When morning came, the two brothers began searching for Reese until their mother had told them she had left for a quest. She told Zeref that he would see her when the day to go to Mildian Magic School, so he revised all the things he had learnt from her.
The day to go to the magic school had finally come, Zeref was all packed and ready to go, and Reese was waiting outside playing with Natsu. As he walked out the door, Reese smiled and said her goodbyes to the Dragneel family.
"Are you ready?"
"Ready as I can ever be."
As they walked away from the village, their journey to the school was not a boring one; on their way they had revised the properties of magic and how to use it.
"The magic depends on the person's soul, for example if you were a water mage, you would be a calm and collected person like a lake in a serene area and if you were mad you would be described like the raging sea. It also depends on how you use it, if you were an arrogant person and had evil deeds, sure you would be powerful due to wanting to be recognized like the dragons. But good always triumphs over evil; the good person cares for their nakama and would try to get stronger to protect them. Now where to find a ride…"
Zeref raised an eyebrow, "Aren't you a mage?"
She was about to say something until she soak in his words, she slapped her face due to her stupidity, realizing that the young boy was right.
"Thanks for reminding me, now operating usage of the Jump!"
Inky black darkness swallowed them up whole, as they fell through the dark tunnel Zeref started to scream, but then shortly stopped afterwards when he saw Reese totally calm.
"Why are you not screaming? We are literally being sucked into a hole!"
She ignored his claim and asked him a different question.
"Where is Mildian Magic School?"
He stopped his ranting and raised an amused eyebrow, "I thought it would be obvious," She then shortly afterwards karate chopped his head.
"Don't joke around with me brat, now where is it?"
Jeez, what happened to the nice and loving Reese he met in the forest?
"In Mildian." He said smugly, she rolled her eyes and muttered a few words before Zeref could interrupt her, "can I call you Onee-chan?"
Reese looked confused, "What's an Onee-chan?"
Before he could answer her question, they were shot out of the Jump and in the town of Mildian. They place was a bustling place as the streets were filled with the scent of fresh pastries, unfortunately they had no time to eat cake since she had to drop off Zeref at the school so she may leave for her quest. When they had arrived, the teachers immediately ushered Zeref in and thanked Reese for help, that until they sensed Reese's power then they started requesting that she should be a teacher at their school, but continuously declined their offer.
Two years have passed by since she had last seen the Dragneel family, she had only spent time with Zeref, helping him revise and memorize his subjects. It had only been a few occasions though; of course she had other things to do. After she had dropped Zeref off at the magic school, she had gone off hunting dragons well the bad ones at least. She had met six dragons that might have changed her thoughts about their kind; these six dragons were Igneel, Metallicana, Grandeeney, Weisslogia, Skiadrum, Aquafina, Zafino, Graesil and Atlas Flame.
Igneel was gigantic dragon whose bodily majority is covered with dark, red scales. Igneel's lower body, specifically his stomach, the inner portions of his long tail, and legs, are beige in color. Igneel also has noticeable scars on his stomach and neck, with the largest one, which is X-shaped, located around the center of his body. His back has numerous black spikes, reaching down from the back to the end of his tail. Igneel has a triangular head with horns, a pair of large, round eyes with yellow sclera (which are usually seen as glowing, obscuring his dark, round pupils) and a sharp horn pointing upwards just above his nose. Igneel also sports very sharp canine teeth, and has claws with long, sharp, red nails. Igneel's large bony wings resemble a bat's, with rippled tips. He was known as the Fire Dragon King, his brother was Atlas Flame who in the future would be the guardian of Sun Village in the future.
Atlas Flame was an enormous creature with looks that follow the usual characteristics of a dragon: having a massive body, a pair of wings that allow him to fly, four limbs with claws, and a tail. However, unlike most of the known dragons, Atlas Flame's body is not covered with scales, but it seems to be entirely made of flames, giving him an overall impression of a burning skeleton.
Grandeeney is a large, four-legged Dragon, whose appearance differs considerably from a traditional Dragon's appearance. She had a white body, which appears to be covered in tissue similar to bird feathers, rather than scales but was just as hard. Her feet resemble bird talons as well. Her head is covered in what appears to be fur and her skull is somewhat broad and flat. The fur extends down the neck and to the upper chest region. She was known as the Sky Dragon, she may be a lady dragon but don't let that fool you, she was just as mean and strong as Metallicana who is next on the list.
Metallicana, like other Dragons, appears as a large four-legged beast, however unlike other Dragons, Metallicana's body is covered in silver, iron scales. The scales themselves give Metallicana the impression of being covered in armor, as from his neck below to his sternum, as well as on his shoulders, forearms, knees, shins, claws and thighs, the scales are plated. In the areas between (underbelly, biceps and calves) the plating disappears and instead gives way to cross-hatched scales that resemble chain mail. It's no wonder why people call him the Iron Dragon.
Metallicana's head is almost square in shape and his lower jaw has the appearance of being hinged. His eyes are beady and circular with no pupils and black sclera; around his eyes are small black markings which continue around the back of Metallicana neck. Metallicana also has a tail that is plated like much of his body that fashions an intricately pointed tip. Also, running down his spine, Metallicana has spiked metal plates.
Weisslogia is a light-colored, gigantic, bearded Dragon with feathery, angel-esque wings, and has two comparably small antlers protruding from the top of his head. Weisslogia's underbelly is quite smooth, while the majority of his body, save for part of his feathery, windswept face, and his spine (which is adorned with a trail of hair that starts from his head), is covered with thick scales. Arrogant like his son, like father like son *sigh* is it like that with every dragon and their son?
Aquafina was an elegant dragoness; she had blue spikes running down her back and had ram like horns near her face that as black and blue striped, on her belly she had blue flames surrounded by dark green scales. At the end of her tail she had an ombre ocean blue fluke, her bat like wings was dark green with a blue line streaming past; her eyes were ocean green with black slits. She was a regal dragoness and quite the sight as well.
Zafino was sapphire blue with navy blue stripes running down his smooth skin; he was quite a skinny dragon so he could be described as a winged Chinese water dragon. He had blue fins running down his back giving him an aquatic look, here he had two horns spiraling out laid a sapphire on his forehead in the shape of a teardrop, his eyes were icy blue with black slits as well. Don't tell them I said this but he was quite moody.
Graesil was a young dragoness, with her baby blue scales and her dark blue stripes. Her belly was plated with blue large scales and had spikes running down her back, she had goat like horns that out bested a gold antlered reindeer. Her wings were slightly torn but it only gave her a cooler look.
And finally, Skiadrum, like other Dragons, is a powerful beast, however unlike most other Dragons, he is covered in pitch-black scales; atop his head, Skiadrum has two sharp horns and sports a small, pointed beard of shadows on his chin. Skiadrum has no visible pupils, and his eyes instead are red like a stream. Between his horns and running down his spine, Skiadrum has a mane of shadows; his wings are covered in the same material. Because of the shadows his body is composed of, Skiadrum has a constant stream of shadows being emitted from his head, wings, spine and tail.
Though there was one dragon that continued to pester and annoy her, that dragon was Acnologia.
Acnologia has an entire upper body covered in black, round, scales which in turn are decorated by spiraling, blue markings. His lower body, specifically his chin, chest, stomach, inner tail, thighs, and arms, are gray in color, and appear to be rather smooth. Acnologia's eyes are white and beady, and his head is round and blunt with four, large, elongated plates extending backward. Acnologia's mouth is full of razor-sharp teeth, and, attached to his chin, is a protrusion that resembles an arrowhead. His large wings are feathery in appearance, akin to a bird's, and very similar to fellow Dragon Grandeeney's. The scales disappear at the end of Acnologia's tail, which, in itself, ends in a stinger-esque shape. Quite a player in the future. He was originally human until he let his greed and hunger for power get the best of him, making him turn into a dragon but he could turn into a human as well which was his most powerful form. He was a scumbag that killed all dragons, even his comrades with a smile on his face which made her sick, she didn't know why he would kill the dragons but she honestly couldn't care less. He would always pester her to fight him, to see who would be the most superior of them all but she would just Jump away.
Anyways back to the Dragneel family, she wanted to visit them, to tell them about Zeref amazing progress. But when she was near the village, she smelled smoke; smoke meant fire and fire meant fatal accidents. But this wasn't just any fire; oh no this was dragon fire. Her eyes widen as she summoned her wings to fly down at full speed only to see that she was too late, as she landed she saw Chaos on the ground, kneeling while crying in her hands with two still figures laid in front of her. When she approached her, she then realized that those two figures were Haremashita (Natsu's father's name which means Sunny) and Natsu.
She felt her stomach twist into a knot, she would find this dragon and send it to the Underworld in the most painful way possible, but then her mind changed to Zeref. Zeref… she felt sorry for the older brother, from what she saw it looked like he loved his family very much, especially Natsu. How would he grieve?
She fell beside Chaos and started rubbing her back; even the most powerful deity in the Universe couldn't save her family. This was Chaos in her vulnerable state, a crying mother grieving for her dead family.
"I couldn't use my magic in front of them, but now I'm suffering the consequences for being too afraid."
Reese paused then said, "What about the boy? What will he turn out in the future?"
She immediately regretted what she said; the mother started bursting into tears again, "His future, it's too sad to say!"
She tried to brighten up the mood a bit, "Well I guess I was right about your family being prone to danger, heh." Chaos glared at her, "Sorry for trying."
She sighed then stood up, "It's okay, I need you to tell Zeref the truth."
Reese's eyes widen, "All of it?"
"All of it."
Reese's jaw dropped to the ground, "You want me to tell him our true identities?!"
She nodded, could the boy take all the information all at once? Well, she couldn't refuse the order of someone above her status.
"But before you go, can you reserve Natsu's body in lacrima please? I would like you to take him to Zeref."
As she once again arrived at the school, she asked the receptionist for Zeref. When he finally came, he found Reese sitting down with a serious look on her face, he paled at the sight. She motioned the receptionist to leave; she needed to be alone with Zeref to tell him this
"Is there something wrong?"
She sighed, "A dragon attacked in your village," His eyes widened at the news; "Haremashita and Natsu didn't make it."
"What about my mother? What happened to her?"
She sighed again, "I think you need to sit down for this," he did what he was told, "Me and your mother aren't exactly human, we are immortal deities called Pillars, well I am. Your mother is a god who turns out to be Chaos—"
"Back up a bit, are you trying to tell me that I and Natsu are demigods?"
"Yes well at least one of you is. Natsu was the only one able to inherit your mother's powers. You inherited her intelligence and her love for life."
He couldn't stop pacing around the room, first she comes in and tells him that most of his family is dead then breaks it to him that her and his mothers are actually immortal beings?! What a crazy life this is indeed.
"Your mother requested me to reserve Natsu's body and bring it to you. The lacrima was able to heal away the burns but it wasn't able to restore even the tiniest amount of his life force to him." She said as a cocoon of lacrima that was wrapped around his Onii-san appeared, "Where would you like me to put him?"
"In my room please."
As they walked down the hallway, students were giving them strange looks until they saw Natsu in a lacrima, levitating behind them. No one spoke to them, not even the teachers who would always pester Reese spoke to them. They sighed in relief when they reached his room, as she opened the door she directed the lacrima into the corner of the room and let it rest there. She looked at Zeref with a sorrowful look.
"I'll be going now, like I said before I truly am sorry. Your family was one of the most interesting bunch of humans I have encountered. Good luck."
Another two years had passed since the death of Natsu Dragneel and his father; she had only just encountered Zircornis, the proclaimed 'King of the Dragons'. The king of Fiore had requested her to capture Zircornis and bring him to the Dragon Cave, aka a prison for dragons. She had changed over the two years, rumors started to spread about her so she now wore a cloak which hid her identity. When she finally done her job, she decided to check up on Zeref to see how he was moving on. She expected him to be a little bit kept to himself, but what she did expect was to sense a death curse in the school building. It was worse in person.
People in the surrounding area were found dead, not traces of any injuries but a whiff of death magic. She immediately recognized it, this was Anhkseram's magic or also known the Curse of Contradictory. She wondered how the poor soul received such punishment from the gods. As she ventured inside, she heard the sounds of sobs which she had heard before. Zeref.
"Zeref? Are you here?"
No response.
She used her common sense and found Zeref sitting by his desk, trying to cry himself to sleep. She looked to where Natsu now stood. But it wasn't the old Natsu; this was something new, something… demonic.
"My dear boy, what have you done?"
He immediately shot up and turned his head towards Reese.
"I've done it."
"Done what?"
"I brought Natsu back to life."
Shocked was an understatement, she was flabbergasted. This boy who couldn't use any magic power had brought this boy back to life?! This reminded her of that son of Apollo who kept bringing people back to life until he then died by the hands of the gods, looks like the same with Zeref.
"Zeref, do you know what you have?"
He shook his head.
"The gods have placed you under the Curse of Contradictory; it kills every living being in the surrounding area. The only way to gain that kind of black magic is by doing something forbidden by the god's law."
He bowed his head then looked up again, "Am I going to be immortal?"
She nodded her head, "When you reach a certain point of age, your body stops growing. Although you may be immortal, your curse will still kill people. The more you love life, the stronger the curse becomes, but the less you love life, the curse will grow weaker. Now I want to see this accomplishment you made."
He smiled, "This is E.N.D, and it stands for Etherious Natsu Dragneel." She chuckled, "He has been giving the power to make and control Curses out of One Magic."
"Well I can't wait to meet him; he sounds like a fun guy."
Whenever he entered a village, the villagers would always scream and run away when he was just trying to get himself food. He was getting sick and tired of it. He heard a chuckle from behind.
"Still running away from you in fear E.N.D?" Reese said in a mocking tone, he pouted at her.
"All I want is food and that's it, in the Plutogrim those other demons won't leave me alone. It's annoying me, a lot."
The demon looked like an eighteen year old boy, with his well defined muscles, slanted onyx (his eye colour changes) eyes, his dashing fanged grin and tanned skin he was quite the sight to behold but there were some odd things out. He had darker wild pink hair with black flame like markings crawling up his skin, in his eyes he had black demonic slits that made him look more predatory. He had two red horns that curled out from his temples and had red dragon like wings that were as big as his body, he also had a dragon tail and dragon like claws. You know, when you describe E.N.D like this he sounds more like a dragon rather than a demon. He wore an open black vest to reveal his six pack, it was also a sleeveless vest meaning that his Tartaros sign was in plain sight.
This was E.N.D; it had been another two years. Zeref had unexpectedly left with no reason so Reese was left with the job of babysitting E.N.D. You see, he still was the same Natsu, just a little more mature and in the body of an eighteen year old boy. His Etherious form never affected his personality, just his strength and power.
"I have a feeling that in the future they might exaggerate your story."
"Why do I feel like you're telling the truth?" She chuckled again.
"I have a friend that you might like to meet; I can tell that you two have a lot in common."
"And what might be one of those commons things?"
She smirked, "Your both hard headed."
"That's a bit rude Reese." A voice rumbled behind her.
She rolled her eyes, "Don't be so over dramatic Igneel, now get your dragon butt over here and go tell Natsu that deal you wanted to make with him."
As the Great Fire Dragon King emerged from the forest, Reese said, "Igneel always liked to make dramatic entrances."
Igneel huffed, "That's a great big lie."
Reese raised an eyebrow, "Are you sure about that because you're doing it right now."
E.N.D had to stifle in a laugh to see that Reese was lecturing the Great Fire Dragon King, it was such a glorious sight. Igneel rolled his eyes.
"Can we just get to the point please?"
"Fine."
"Thank you," He then turned to E.N.D, "I heard that you were once a human boy but then died when a dragon invaded your village," He nodded his head, "Then Reese told you the truth about herself and Chaos?"
"Yes but what does this have to do with the deal?"
"Would you like to become human again?"
E.N.D's eyes widen, becoming human again is like a dream come true for him. To be finally be left alone from those demons, to not be a monster in front of humans and become one of them. But everything always comes with a price.
"What are the side effects to this deal? Why did you even consider making this with me in the first place?"
Igneel sighed, "Acnologia stole all the other dragons' souls, even Aquafina and Zafino. This is leaving us only having a half soul and dying, all the other dragons have chosen a successor to teach their magic to. Weisslogia has chosen a boy called Sting, Skiadrum picked another boy called Rouge, and Grandeeney found a little girl called Wendy; Metallicana has surprisingly picked a boy called Gajeel, and finally Aquafina and Zafino have selected a girl called Saphira."
Reese rubbed her chin, "Why does that name sound so familiar?"
"Do you remember us celestial spirit's master?" A new voice said. They all spun round to see Leo/Loke walking towards them.
"Yes, I think her name was Anna Heartfilla." He nodded.
"Anna is Saphira's true mother."
"But how?"
Loke looked down, "When our master was distracted, she placed her keys out of hands reach. She didn't know that Acnologia had been following her all day, when he had the chance Acnologia jumped out of his hiding place and…"
Reese gasped while E.N.D growled. They knew what Loke/Leo meant, Acnologia raped Anna Heartfilla.
"I didn't know that he would go to such extremes, oh Leo…" She trailed off.
"I could've saved her; I could've protected her innocence but—"
"Hey, no one blames you. This has taken a very heavy toll on us all…"
E.N.D stood there watching it all happen, he turned to Igneel, "What does the deal include?"
"Me, the other dragons, Anna and Zeref—"
"I'm not surprised that he is in on it."
A tick mark appeared on Igneel's forehead, "Anyways, we're planning to use a spell called Dragon Soul Technique to share our soul with our student. Then we plan to use the Eclipse gate—"
"Hold on, you need a celestial wizard for that, wait let me guess, you're planning to use Anna?"
He nodded, "Then we will send them four hundred years into the future here there will be more Ethernano to absorb and gather more magical energy."
E.N.D raised an eyebrow, "What does this have to do with me?"
"It means that Igneel wants you to be his successor, duh."
His eyes widen, "What's the deal then?"
"If you accept to become my student, then you can have the life of an ordinary human."
An ordinary life…
"Hold up, nothing in life is free. What are the side effects to this?"
"If you agree to this deal, your body will be reverted back into a nine year old boy but you will lose your powers and your memories."
E.N.D stumbled backwards a bit. He was okay with losing his powers but his memories?!
"Where will you keep them?"
Leo then summoned a book from who knows where, "We will keep it safe in this book, do not worry Natsu."
He looked down, if he lost his memories then Zeref, his new crazy celestial spirit friends, Reese will all be erased from his mind. But there are positive outcomes to this situation, he could finally live a normal life, life amongst the humans with being chased or coward from, he could finally learnt to… love someone. He didn't know how but an image of a girl with blonde hair and brown eyes entered his mind, he shook off and finally made his answer.
"Yes."
Igneel flashed him a toothy grin then began the ritual. A large grey magic circle appeared underneath him, three other magic circles materialized underneath Igneel, Loke and Reese as they chanted this spell.
Oh One Magic I call thy enchantment
Release thou memories and horrid torment
As we chant this spell
A future only the gods can foretell
Bōkyaku
A large beam of light descended from the sky and hit E.N.D head on, as he screamed in agony Leo then opened the book and started to absorb the memories. When the ritual was finished, the cloud of smoke disappeared revealing a nine year old Natsu who laid unconscious on the ground. Reese smiled.
"Well now, he is your responsibility so take good care of him. Send me a message when it's time to put the plan into action."
Another two years had passed (what is up with all the two years) and all the dragon slayers have mastered the basics of their elemental slaying magic, it was time to put the plan to action. The dragons gave their children one last gift, Weisslogia gave Sting a crystal earring that was chipped of his horn, Skiadrum gifted Rouge with a katanna made from his scales, Wendy was gifted with a feather bracelet from Grandeeney, Gajeel got boxing gloves with metal studs from Metallicana and Igneel gifted Natsu with a white scaly scarf. Al of these were crafted by Anna, if you want to buy one that go to her. Graesil was able to transform herself into a human and a dragon at will, but was not allowed to tell Saphira or anyone else about the truth. Reese supervised all the dragons but got interested with the white and shadow dragons. She caught them trying to alter their sons memories and lectured them for it.
"You know the rules, no altering anyone's memories especially your own child!" Reese said, pointing at the sleeping Sting and Rouge.
"But it's for their own good!"
"How is altering their memories to making them think that they killed their own parents for their own good?!"
They shut their jaws, then Skiadrum spoke up, "If we make them think that they killed us then they can learn to become true dragon slayers and achieve their goals."
She thought over his answer, "I'll let you off but when Igneel finds out." She left the threat hanging and flew over to the Eclipse Gate where Zeref and Anna were waiting.
"It is time."
Anna nodded and summoned all twelve Zodiac keys,they glowed in the sun then a golden beam of golden light shot from them towards the gate. As it started to power up, Capricorn and Virgo started to bring in the children.
Capricorn is a tall humanoid goat who possesses many goat-like traits: his body is covered in short, brownish white fur, with longer tufts covering his lower face, resembling a goatee, and the back of his legs which greatly resemble those of a goat, being slightly bent backwards and ending in dark hooves. He has short, thin ears sitting on top of his head, with a distinctive, elongated oval form, and horns which curve downwards and jut forwards from the side of his head. From his lower back sprouts a mildly long tail ending in a dark tuft of fur, and his fingers sport long and dark nails (initially portrayed as light in color), highly reminiscent of claws. His elongated face possesses marked cheekbones and a prominent, large nose; his eyes are always hidden away by a pair of black, mirror polished shades, which were initially portrayed as having distinct, separated lenses, with an elongated oval form, but were later given a more compact appearance, with the lenses fusing into a single one, possessing a hollowed part in order for them to rest on Capricorn's nose. The shades, predictably, come with dark arms, which, however, aren't shown resting anywhere, due to the Mage's ears being elsewhere. Capricorn possesses prominent, toned abdominal, and, while initially portrayed as lean-built, was later given a more massive, muscular appearance.
Virgo takes the form of a maid with shackles around her wrists, short, pink hair, and blue eyes. She wears a typical maid outfit, consisting of a black under coat and a white, frilled-trim apron. She has a more typical appearance of a beauty with a petite body.
"Let us hope that this will work." Anna sighed as the dragon slayers got tossed in the Eclipse Gate one by one, "All of Fiore depends on it."
"Zeref nodded in agreement, "Yes, Reese what will you do while you are waiting for the year X777?"
She smirked, "Isn't it obvious? I'm going to be travelling to other dimensions, you know keep it all balanced. There's a magic school in England called Hogwarts that I want to visit, not to mention the the Five are building a school for the pillar descendants."
Anna just stood there confused while Zeref bended over to see Reese's face properly, "I thought the Celestial Spirit King was one."
"He is."
"Then why is it just called the Five."
She shrugged her shoulders, "Dad said that he will be spending most of his time in Earth Land, he will still be important to the Five but he basically said that he is retiring until he wants to go back into the action."
Anna spoke up, "Well, It looks like they have all gone through."
Capricorn and Virgo walked up to the trio, "We have accomplished our job Hime and princess, we will now return to the Celestial Spirit Realm."
They then disappeared in a shower of gold.
It was the year X679, they day when Tenrou Island was attacked by a wizarding guild called Blue Skull, Reese was sitting in a tree from a far watching it all happen. Why did those humans humans did what they have don, she didn't know until she heard a little girl scream. She immediately flew to the direction of the scream and saw a pale blond girl with another girl with brown hair trying to escape the flames. She wasn't exactly on time to stop the invasion so she couldn't save the other villager of this island, but she could save those two girls.
"I summon Aquarius the Water Bearer!"
In a flash of gold light a lady appeared. She has a long, blue fish-tail, light blue hair that reaches up to her waist, and a large bust. She has blue eyes that seem to have no pupils. Aquarius wears a revealing dark blue bikini top and on each arm, she has a golden armlet and bracelet. Aquarius also has a headband, three piercings on her tail, and a golden belt at her waist and light blue crystal earrings. A dark blue tattoo resembling the Aquarius zodiac symbol rests right under her collarbone. Aquarius looked at the fire then at Reese.
"Let me guess, you want me to extinguish the fire with my water."
Reese smirked, "Flood the entire village but try to avoid me and the little girls."
She nodded as Reese dived for the little girls, grabbing them and swinging them up into a high tree as Aquarius said, "Torrent!"
A large wave was unleashed upon the village, extinguishing the fire. As Reese brought the little girls down, Aquarius disappeared back into the Celestial spirit world leaving a question behind.
"Are you a fairy?"
