After a few hours Delilah arrived at the dead forest that was the home of Avatar. A group of men in dark robes came to greet the woman.
"Madam Delilah we see you have completed the mission." One of them said as they bowed down to her.
"Yes it was quite successful now if you would please take these brats while I go talk to the high priest that would be fantastic."
Delilah then handed the backpack containing the twins to the man and walked off. The man looked at the bag rather confused as to what to do, it's not exactly like he knew how to take care of a baby let alone two of them.
After a few minutes of walking through the dank fortress Delilah finally made it to the high priest's office. She opened the door to reveal the priest with his back turned as he observed a portrait of Zeref and one of his works of evil.
"High Priest Kishu I have completed the mission the power sources have been retreated and are ready to be used." Delilah said respectively as she kneeled down behind him and bowed her head.
"Very good my dear, it appears you have not failed me like those fools did a few years ago when they were so easily tricked and got themselves arrested."
"What is our next step High Priest?"
"Now we must simply wait for the device to be set up and put in working order. But you must also be sure that our power sources are well taken care of as well as well as guarded we do not need them taken out of our hands by those reckless fairies."
"I will do so to the best of my ability my lord."
Delilah then rose from her kneel and exited the high priest's office. After she was gone the priest began to think over his plans.
"Oh what a grand motion this will be the final conclusion of lord Zeref's work and we have the honor of carrying it out." He thought excitedly knowing his plan was foolproof.
Meanwhile many many miles away was Gray and Juvia trudging through a great forest to get to their children.
"Gray dearest how long do you exactly think it will take to get to the Avatar guild hall?"
"It'll at least take a day if we make good time."
"Oh ok." Juvia said rather depressed as she looked down.
Gray could already hear it in her voice but as soon as he turned around he could see how forlorn she was.
"Juvia is everything alright?" Gray asked as he took Juvia's hands into his.
"I miss them so much, I just want them back in my arms. Then I'll know their safe, warm, cared for, loved-!" Juvia started to sob as the thoughts of her children came into our head.
Gray immediately took her into a tight embrace feeling everything that she was to. For a few minutes Juvia just cried as Gray stroked her hair. Juvia had been only acting strong that morning but deep inside her motherly feelings had made her want to cry out her children's names until they were back with her. At times she swore she could hear a babyish giggle or laugh. Others she could hear her children crying out to her.
"How are we going to get them back? They are so far away and for all we know we could already be too late."
Gray raised Juvia's head wiped her tears away.
"We are going to get them back and do you why?"
Juvia shook her head.
"Because we have each other and if there is one thing that I know it is that when me and you are together nothing can stop us. I promise we will find Silver and Ame and bring them back home. Do you think you can hold on till then?"
Juvia wiped the rest of the tears out of her eyes and took Gray's hands.
"As long as I have you I know I can, now let's go get our kids back."
Gray and Juvia then turned back onto their journey both walking hand in hand with one another, ready to face the trials ahead of them and take back what was theirs.
