"Exceeds?" I asked. Everyone had kept on referring to the cats by that word, "What are they?"
"Why don't you read this," I turned to see edolas Xavier right behind me, "All information on exceeds are in there." I immediately took the book away from him and opened a bookmarked page. The others all started talking about... Who knows what, while I read about exceeds: Exceeds were apparently a fearsome tribe of magical cat-like beings that had been in Edolas as far back as 100 years ago! I looked over at the cats who were now all talking to one another. There was no doubt that they were exceeds, there was even a picture of them in the book, which looked a LOT like them... Ever since we had first found them, I was curious as to what they were. But now I knew. They were exceeds! Wait... did this mean that Bluebell, Melody, Viper, Candy and Altair had all originated from Edolas? Well Natsu had said that Happy's egg had fallen from the sky and we did travel through the sky to get here...
I put the book down and walked slowly over to the conversation. "You're friends are most likely in the royal city," Edolas Lilias spoke. Edolas Xavier nodded. "You're right. But we don't even know if these people have magic. Will they be safe if they go there?"
"Oh we have magic," Lokni smirked showing a ball of lightning in his palm.
"How is that possible!?" Edolas Miriza exclaimed.
"It's really pretty!" Edolas me added. I sighed.
"What is magic in edolas?" I asked remembering Edolas Miriza's response. She seemed surprised at Lokni creating an element out if thin air. That was normal in our world. Also, I hadn't sensed any magic from any people in this bizarre world. "Our magic is fusing magic lacrimas with weapons and tools..." edolas Lokni spoke.
"Who's going with these guys to the royal city?" edolas Xavier spoke, "All of us could go but then we'd have not much people here to help. At this time, Fairy Tail is gonna need all the help it can get as well."
"I'm going to Fairy Tail!" edolas me called, "please come with me Xavier! You can't take best friends apart!"
"BEST FRIENDS!?" all of us normal people exclaimed in unison. Now I knew for a fact that edolas was crazy.
"I'll go with Faya," Xavier said.
"I'm going to the royal city," Edolas Miriza spoke, "I will not allow this sibling rivalry to continue for much longer. I shall prevail!"
"Sibling rivalry?" normal Miriza asked. Edolas Miriza nodded.
"Erza Knightwalker, my sister, my eternal rival. Shall be defeated by these hands of mine!" Erza was Miriza's sister in this world? By the look on normal Miriza's face, she looked just as startled at that piece of information as I was.
"I'll stay here with the others," Lilias said, "We'll keep in touch with everyone."
"I'm going to the royal city!" Edolas Lokni exclaimed.
"Then it's settled," edolas Xavier spoke, "Lilias - you should go notify master. She needs to know. Meanwhile the rest of us shall go on towards our missions. Good luck everyone!" And with that, we all set off.
"It's a pain we have to walk all this way," edolas Miriza muttered.
"NO WE DON'T!" A voice called from the air. It was Viper and the other cats - no: exceeds.
"Oh," Xavier murmured, "I forgot you could all fly!"
"You're such an idiot Xavier!" Bluebell called back down. Xavier then turned to me.
"What have you been making Belle say?" he asked.
"Don't worry your little white head about anything Xavi-Wavi!"
"What!?" I couldn't help but laugh. "Don't abbreviate my name Faya!"
"Look who's getting a taste of his own medicine," normal Miriza smiled.
"That was years ago Riza!" Xavier got a punch from that.
"You guys don't really get along do you?" Edolas Lokni asked.
"You can say that again," normal Lokni replied, "They're almost always like this."
"compatibility is key when working with comrades." Edolas Miriza stated. Bluebell flew down so that she was hovering at our level.
"We're all forgetting why this conversation started in this first place!" she said. We all looked towards her.
"We were talking about how we could fly you all to the royal city!" Melody stated also coming down.
"I wasn't going to say that," Bluebell added, "This conversation started because Xavier is such an idiot!"
"YOU SAY!?"
I looked across the strange green sky as we flew across Edolas towards the royal city. Since there were 7 of us, Melody and Altair carried their respective dragon slayer as well as their edolas counterpart. It took us quite a while to reach the royal city. Honestly I rather enjoyed the journey. As soon as we were there the exceeds set us down. They were all exhausted from the long flight from Louen - especially Melody and Altair. We then walked down to the city. Compared to Louen - this place was completely filled to the brim with magic. "Magic is a limited resource in Edolas - that's why there are no more guilds (apart from Fairy Tail and Crime Sorciere)," Edolas Miriza stated, "The king harbors all the magic in the royal city. That's why the lacrima containing your friends will be here. He's going to take it and transform into magic power he can hoard for himself." I looked around the bright city. It was nothing like Louen. This king must be a pretty selfish person...
"We need to help our friends as soon as possible," Lilias spoke, "If I was a selfish power hungry king - I would want to keep all the magic power for myself. So, the lacrima is going to be at the royal castle."
"You're most likely correct," Melody stated, "We should head there tomorrow - it's getting later now." We all agreed to the newly set plan. Soon enough, we were able to find an inn to stay in for the night. There we devised our plan for breaking into the royal castle...
