Seth's POV: 8AM and I'm up rubbing the sleep from my eyes at first I was unsure of my surroundings but then remembered I'm at Bartell estate, I slide my feet into my slippers put on my robe and glasses then tie the sash of the robe and just sit on my bed legs criss crossed half an hour goes by and I hear a knock at my door. I go and open the door and there is Antonio smiling happily I quietly walk after him and when we reach the stairs I stop him. "What's up you don't have a fear of stairs obviously or do you just not feel up to breakfast right now Antonio asked?" "It's just stairs at this hour can often be squeaky and so I'd rather use my magic to make us float downstairs quietly if you don't mind I answered." Antonio looks at me slightly puzzled but nods in agreement so I focus on my magic and make a pair of steam clouds form I make them big enough to support us both on them at the same time, Grabbing Antonio's hand I leapt to the first cloud and then once we were stable I leapt us over to the second cloud and then down to the floor and once on the floor the steam clouds disappear.
I just smile and walk alongside my friend soon enough we sit at a table for 2 with all sorts of yummy breakfast food and on the table was a small chalkboard that says 'eggs made to order.' I then figured out my breakfast around my egg order a server from the kitchen named Madison came out and take our drink orders and in accidental unison Antonio and I said orange juice no pulp. I then started to chuckle and then as I was about to roar and fling my head from side to side and stomp my feet in laughter I pull on my robes hood and pull it down forward covering my face and bite on it. Once I regained my composure and pull my hood back off Madison was already gone and Antonio looked at me puzzled for the second time this morning.
"Care to tell me what's so funny cause I haven't seen you pillow face laugh in ages Antonio asked?" "We haven't said anything in unison since way back when we burped at the same time and called each other on it I replied." "Oh my god dude your right and how the heck do you remember that Antonio laughed at the memory." Madison soon came back with our drinks as well as a pitcher of juice that she placed on the table in case we wanted more and asked us how we wanted our eggs I looked to Antonio and he nodded in reply to signify he was thinking the same order and he knew what they were called. "We will both take 3 over easy with lightly browned white toast Antonio said looking over to Madison who wrote down the order and nodded before returning to the kitchen." "Thanks for taking care of that if I told her I wanted my eggs to dunk I'm sure she would've given a weird face I smiled to my friend." "No prob now let's figure out what else we are going to have for breakfast from what's on the table and I want to know how the heck you are Steam Prince and the story of you joining Fairy Tail replied Antonio."
I tell him that for the past year I have backpacking through the kingdom and on my travels I learned fire and shadow magic and bought a pair of throwing daggers and months after mom passed years ago I took an interest in making tonics. The staff back home always called me their Prince and sense water and fire make steam I decided to call myself The Steam Prince and then I recount my arrival day at Fairy Tail and then by the time I finish the stories our eggs and toast have arrived. I go right for the chocolate chip pancakes and the fat sausages and place them on my plate Antonio sits across from me and goes for the same things as me. "What type of syrup do you want I asked my childhood friend." "I'm thinking traditional maple and a splash of strawberry but I can grab them he replied." I put a hand up to stop him and then with my hands intertwined I focused on the containers of syrup true they aren't water but they are liquid so with enough focus and a little extra magic I manage to lift them off the table and pour onto Antonio's pancakes and then trade the strawberry for blueberry and pour the syrups on my own stack of pancakes and then carefully place them down and unlink my hands. "Dude are you ok you look like u just ran a quarter marathon Antonio asked with concern." "Liquids that are thicker than water end up requiring more magic to be used on my part and usually it's not that big a problem but I guess seeing as I'm still recovering doing things this thick or thicker wind me slightly I reply as I took a drink of orange juice."
"Liquids that are thicker than water end up requiring more magic to be used on my part and usually it's not that big a problem but I guess seeing as I'm still recovering doing things this thick or thicker wind me slightly I reply as I took a drink of orange juice." "Then don't use your magic, I have working hands and arms and so do you Antonio stated." I didn't answer him instead I just cut into my pancakes and dunked my toast into my eggs eventually we both have our fill and soon as I get up to go get dressed for the day I burp and just as Antonio is about to call me on it he lets one loose and so I just bite my lip and stomp my feet in amusement. As we walk back upstairs I suddenly feel uneasy I have a burning headache and an arctic chill rush up my spine at the same time. "Dude what's wrong Antonio stated as he hustled up to me." "I think I just had a vision I saw 2 silhouettes tied in rope and heard a train whistle I said as I sat on the top step."
"Let's go out and head to the beach or go shopping together come on I want to make happy memories this weekend with my childhood friend Antonio stated. I push myself back up and walk to my room and pick out an outfit. Soon enough I'm changed and we take his car and we decide to do shopping the movies and the arcade. As we browse the cloths in the shop he brought us to I notice it's mostly mannequins in nice dress clothes. "Stella McCroft makes me a lot of my relaxed clothes and even some of my more regal event clothes, I called her earlier while getting dressed and asked if we could stop in and get you some custom clothes made Antonio said." I was stunned to hear the name of the owner Stella was said to have designed some of the finest clothes in all Fiore. Soon she walks over and greets us."So this is your childhood friend who is now a member of Fairy Tail and is the infamous Steam Prince well then I'd be delighted to create you your own clothing order Stella said with a warming tone." tone. We spend a while there and I come up with 4 outfits an outfit per season and now I'm trying on some clothes on the rack that match the type of outfit I wanted a jacket with fur lined hood and matching fur-lined boots, gloves with a crown made of steam embroidered on them a plum-colored scarf and a long sleeve shirt and dark denim pants I walk out of the change room and spin on the front of my foot and then strike a sassy pose. "Dude you look wow in that Antonio said as he looked it over." "You look splendid absolutely marvelous if you allow me to sell your outfits to my clients I'm sure they would love to wear outfits designed by you and I would give you a cut of the profits of course Stella said as she walked around me examining the pieces I had on." "Absolutely Ms McCroft I would be honored to have you sell my creations to your clients I replied before walking to change back into my cloths. I would also like to place an order for the fall and winter outfits from my set I stated as I stood next to Antonio." Once Stella gave me her price I paid what she asked and she said to expect the autumn one in mid-September so I could wear it right away.

Now Antonio and I are back in the car and we go see a movie at the theater I was rocking in my seat most of the middle of the movie because that was the funny part and the end had me almost misty-eyed because of the melody of the song. Once we finally are out of the cinema we go and head to a local arcade, Antonio and I both eye the dance machine and the air hockey and a couple of other games that we used to play often, we end up ranking up enough tickets for the big prize shelf and just have them added to the arcade card we came with that holds the points we held onto through so many years.
As we walk down the street to get back to the car I see a candle shop and an idea comes to my mind and yet I just shake it off and keep walking but of course Antonio can tell something's up with me by this time it was 2:30 in the afternoon. When we reach the car he doesn't get in right away. "What is it something bugging you I asked?" "Yeah you are what's bugging me I noticed you looking at the candle store and then just looked away and walked ahead of me so what's that about Antonio stated." "I had an idea and yet I knew it would be silly so I just shook it off is all I replied." "Dude seriously now you have me interested I told you I wanted to make memories with you so tell me the idea Antonio said as he sat in the driver's seat and put a hand on my shoulder." "I was thinking we could make our own color and scented wax for wax seals on letters so this way we can stay in touch and know it's from each other I explained plainly." "Dude that doesn't sound foolish sure it sounds a little funny but I like it I think it's a great idea Antonio said as chipper as ever." We walked back to the candle shop and asked if we could make scented wax seals I pick teal wax and Antonio picks light blue wax I make a stamper design of a crown and the points of that crown wavy to look like steam and Antonio makes a stamper design of a Badger finally we picked our scents I went with mango and strawberry Antonio picked cinnamon and nutmeg once we have our custom candles and sealing stamps we leave the store and get back into the car and head back to the estate for lunch.
As I sit down the headache returns and I hear voices talking "Take them to Hargeon from there we will head to HQ." "These two will get him to show up for sure and then we can get revenge on him." I grab my head and try to shake myself out of the vision "Seth what's wrong Antonio asked from across the table?" "It the visions I saw two people talking saying that they were bringing the captives to their HQ via Hargeon and that they wanted revenge against someone I replied before biting into my food." Once lunch was finished we decided to change and go to the beach and so I'm in my room and I just pulled on my trunks and a sleeveless shirt before putting on my sunhat and packed a change of clothes a towel and used my shadow magic and snuck down to the corner store to pick us up some drinks and then came back and put them in a refrigerated backpack before placing my goggles on top my head. Antonio opens my door and looks at me. "Ready asked Antonio." I simply nod in reply and soon we are back in his car with the top down and heading for the beach.
Once we get to the beach I lay down the blanket and pitch the umbrella then I set the cooler backpack up against the umbrella post and finally join my childhood friend for some fun in the water. "This feels nice being able to just hang with my friend and have my feet touch seawater I miss going to the beach and just acting normally I said as I looked over to Antonio." "That means a lot to me dude I'm so glad to see you upbeat and relaxed at the same time just don't use your magic here ok Antonio said kindly." "I know Toni now let's shut up about magic and enjoy the afternoon I replied." I then challenged him to a swim race from where the water was up to our hips to see if he would finally beat me, I managed to beat him. We spend a little while longer before heading back to the towels on the blanket to dry off and once I was dry I slathered on a mix of tanning oil and sunscreen and then slide off my goggles and slide on my glasses before laying on the blanket, Yet as I try to relax I think of him and I start to feel uneasy so I sit up and just stare somberly at the ocean. "What's up bud Antonio said as he shook me slightly." "It's just as I was trying to relax I was thinking of someone I have feelings for but I know they could never return my feelings I replied."
"Hey remember that day you were over for a visit and I snuck us away from our moms and we just sat up at the balcony and watched the clouds take shape Antonio said trying to change topics and mood." "Yeah we saw a lot of silly forms in them I replied." I open the cooler bag and crack us open a pair of root beer bottles and so we end up talking about a bunch of random memories and I smile the entire time but then I hear a familiar voice call my name. I look in the direction of the voice and the one who called out to me is Lucy and yet I knew if I blabbed to her that I had certain feelings towards one of our guildmates she would question on who it is and once I tell her it's Gray I'm sure she would tell him so I just chug down the rest of my drink shoot her a glare and then run back into the water to swim out my nerves. As I swim around I start to feel the headache again so I stop and just stare at the open ocean and I can see the vision of a fancy boat and it pulling from a port and turning right out of the port to the open water and the vision is at the last drops of sunlight just as the sky turns darks. I quickly pull myself from the vision and swim back to Antonio and he is talking to Lucy and the rest of the group. "Seth come here man Antonio calls to me."
I walk to my towel and use it to dry my hair and then drape it over my shoulders. "What do you all want I'm doing what Erza decided I should do for the weekend and I'm spending time with my childhood friend I asked annoyingly to the group." "Oh we were just coming back from a job and recognized you so we thought we would stop by and see if your doing okay after what happened in the celestial world Lucy replied." I suddenly ease up and just look away. "I'm fine been having strange visions today but I'm totally healthy just a little exhausted if I move any liquids thicker than water with my magic I reply." "Then don't use your magic to move liquids until you're fully recovered as to the visions maybe you should talk to master Makarov because we know talking to him can set minds at ease we all needed him at one time or another to help us solve what we don't understand Juvia stated." "Fine let me get a shirt and my shoes and glasses on and then we can go I answered." "I'm coming with you I was there to see you every time you had a vision and I was also there when you turned into lava Antonio said placing a hand on my shoulder." I don't answer him and we just get our shirts on and wrap our towels around our trunks and then walk to the guild with Natsu's team. Once at the guild Erza walks me and Antonio up to the master's room and knocks. "Yes" came the reply. "Master it's Erza I have Seth here with me and he needs your council Erza answered." "Very well then enter my child came master's answer."
I open the door and put my hand up behind me to stop Antonio from entering then I close the door behind me and walk over to the master. "Master I'm sorry to bother you but I have been having strange visions all day today so Erza and her team thought it best if I seek your advice I said as I stood a distance from him." "Tell me what you see my child and the feelings you have when you get them Makarov stated." "I feel like I have a burning headache and at the same time a arctic chill runs up my spine in the first one I saw silhouettes of captives and a heard a train whistle, the second one I heard a voice saying they were going to HQ and to get there they were going to take a boat out of Hargeon, I had a third vision just a moment ago and saw a fancy boat leaving a port and turning right as it cruised out to sea I reply to the master." "Sounds like kidnap do you think the targets could be related to you the master stated." "I can't tell master I couldn't see the captives just their silhouettes I replied." "Very well my child I hope that is not the case but if it does end up being such please use caution and remember you control your magic your magic doesn't control you Makarov stated."
"Thank you master Juvia was right talking to you has helped much I answer back." I leave his office and the guild back for the beach "Your looking better dude Antonio stated." "Yeah I feel better after talking to master but still there are things I refuse to share with anyone even the best of friends I reply." we pack up and return to the estate and as we are getting out the car Antonio decides to ask me something. "Why did you look annoyed when Lucy first called you and you just ran for the water Antonio asked me." "It's related to the secret I can't tell you I'm sorry Toni I answer before walking up the stairs and to my room to relax a while before dinner." Dinner was rather quiet tonight but everything was delicious and smelt of memories. I'm sitting on my bed writing in my private diary then I hear glass breaking and Antonio screaming and then silence. I stop my writing as a chill runs through me and so I run to his room open the door and see his window broken then I figure out Antonio is one of the target's so I give chase to the people who captured my childhood friend.
Later down at the train station of Hargeon "Come on we have orders to follow we know Steam Prince cares for the people so what better way to get revenge then hold people hostage one of the thugs yelled to the others behind him." "So your orders were to lure me to your HQ so you could get revenge on me for defending those you steal from for the past year and so you go and kidnap my father and my childhood best friend...YOU WILL PAY FOR YOUR HEARTLESS ARROGANCE, I am Seth Whitman I am The Steam Prince of FairyTail and you will pay for what you have done I shouted as I summon blood-red flames into my hands." I had just turned into my lava elemental take over and made my presence known to the kidnappers who turn out to be members of Hexa Viper and were only kidnapping in order to lure me out and get revenge on me for stopping their crimes. I summon my flames and toss them to the ground around each thug and then I swirl my finger around causing fire funnels to form around each thug they run to the platform to try and jump across but My flame wall stops them so they split into 2 groups half go to the exit blocked by My water shield wall and the other half run for the end of the tracks with the people I care about. "GET BACK HERE I'M NOT FINISHED WITH YOU I roar loudly and use my magic to make hands that pull all 6 thugs back to me." 5 of them eventually get burns on their skin and are so afraid that they cower in a corner but the leader of the group still has the nerve to get back up so I take out my daggers and pin him to the wall and in one swift motion I lunge towards him and grab his neck with my right hand and in my left hand I have a knife made of fire at the side of his throat.
"You tell the head of your gang that if the vipers ever try to harm my family and friends again I will burn the flesh from your bones and then char those bones and finally stab your hearts with daggers of flame I hiss bitterly as I leave burn cuts along his neck and arms before letting go of him." and let them flee back to their HQ. I break free of my take over and run to Antonio and my father. "You alright dude I'm sorry you ended up being one of their targets I said to Antonio who stood next to my father." "Don't worry they didn't hurt me just gagged me and tied me up to your father and don't feel it was your fault you could only see silhouettes in the first vision Antonio assured me." I then stood in front of my dad and I get misty-eyed while trying to talk to him. "Dad I'm so sorry you had to see that and that they kidnapped you I say as I cry with my head hung." Dad just walks up to me and hugs me warmly so I grip onto him tightly and lay my face against his chest. "Your powers have grown and I'm proud to see they are being used to stop evil all over the Fiore Kingdom and don't worry about me I'm fine and unharmed like Antonio so please Seth cheer up you saved us both my father said as he stroked the back of my hair before looking right at me and smiling."
I eventually get myself together and get on a train with Antonio heading back to Bartell estate while father waits for a train to Whitman manor, Once back at Antonio's house I try to walk to my room and yet Antonio steps into my path. "Is something bothering you are you worried for me now I asked my friend." "I want you sleeping with me tonight no exceptions Antonio replies." I just quietly walk to the guest room grab all my stuff and pack it in the suitcase and backpack then I zip both shut and slide on the backpack and then quietly walk behind Antonio to his room. Once in Antonio's room I put my luggage in the closet and sit my pack against it I grab my pajamas and slip into the attached bathroom to change, Once I return I take my meds and laid at where the bed met the wall and just quietly stare at the wall as I slip under the covers. "What's the matter usually your out like a light Antonio stated." "Just can't seem to get over the realization that someone I have feelings for I doubt could ever return those feelings now just be quiet I said as I slipped into sleep.
