A.N. Hey everyone, I decided that instead of running James through the Oracion Seis Arc he goes on his own small journey. I am really random in my decisions aren't I? But first, the Stat Chart:

Now in this one I have a funny reference from Marvel. I'm sure you'll catch it. Well, those who know it anyways. Without further ado let us begin.

[Dream/Flashback]

I walked westward, intent on finding a place to stay for the night. Up ahead is a small town, but a figure stands before me.

"Who are you?" I ask.

"That is not of any importance at the moment. What I want to know is who are you?"

"My name is-"

"Silence, I don't care about your name. I wanted to know who you are. You also seem to possess a large amount of magic power. So much it drew me to you."

"Ok then, what do you intend to do?"

"I intend to train you. Hone your skills and turn you into a warrior."

"This seems very sketchy."

"I assure you, I only have your best interests at heart. Now, take my hand and we shall begin your training."

I take a moment to think about the current situation. After a minute has passed I take the stranger's hand and feel myself being transported somewhere. Once the feeling left I look around and find myself in a training grounds of sorts with a large array of wizards and normal people training. A beautiful golden haired girl approaches us.

"My Lord, who have you brought?" The girl asks.

"He is a wizard who possesses an aptitude for powerful magic."

"Is that so? Well then I look forwards to training with you."

[Time Skip]

I swung forwards with my right fist as the girl dodged, grabbed the arm, and threw me over her shoulder.

"You leave yourself open when you go for power attacks. Keep your arms close and don't reach out too far."

"Thank you for training with me. It's greatly appreciated." I say.

"It's no problem. I'm actually glad to have someone to spar with that isn't completely useless."

"Yeah, I can see that. So, how about we go for a walk then to cool off?"

"That sounds good."

After an hour we find ourselves looking at the ocean and the magnificent waves crashing against the rocky shore. I look at the girl and she in turn looks at me. We slowly lean towards each other...

James woke up without moving a muscle and brushed his lips with his hand. He could remember that day very clearly and how they made love that night. James then got up with one singular goal in his mind: get back to Dimaria. He loved Cana as well but couldn't help but feel an attraction towards the warrior girl as well. After finishing getting dressed James left his room at the Guild Hall and saw a few people already eating and drinking.

(A.N. It's to be assumed that bedrooms would be added to he new Guild Hall)

He then approached Makarov, who was standing on the second floor sitting on the edge.

"Master, I'd like to let you know that I'm going to be away on a personal job of sorts for a while." James states.

"Oh? Does this have something to do with our mutual problem?"

"No, not this time."

"Hmm, alright then. I wish you good luck then."

James nodded in acknowledgement before starting towards the exit. once he reached the door Cana entered and the two locked eyes for a brief moment.

"Hey James, where're you off to?" Cana asks.

"I'm off on a job. I don't know how long it'll take though so don't wait up." James replies.

"Alright, I'll try not to drink all the alcohol while you're away."

"Hahaha, atta girl."

James then exits the Guild Hall and heads west towards Alakitasia. He makes it in a days time and finds himself looking at the ocean. He then outstretches his hand and summons a Void Portal. he then stepped through and found himself in his old room.

Everything looked exactly as he'd left it. His desk was still clean, bed made, and dust collecting. He then left the room and headed towards the training room. On the way a few guards noticed him and observed in shock, not fully comprehending that he had returned.

Once he arrived at his destination James saw who he was looking for. Dimaria had just send a soldier flying into the air with a kick of her leg and watched in boredom as he fell to the ground.

"Well, good to see you haven't lost your touch." James says, getting her attention.

"James..." Dimaria says, not knowing what to say.

James gestures for her to take his hand, which she does and leads the two out as they start walking around.

"I was informed that you had something to tell me." James says, after making it to the gardens.

"Yes...I have some news."

"Good news I hope?"

"It all depends on your perspective."

"Don't keep me in suspense."

"...Well...we should probably go to the cliff to take a look at the sea."

Dimaria runs off, with James in close pursuit. When they reached the cliff James tackled Dimaria to the ground and she rolled him over, straddling him.

"I do hope you aren't here to scar the child." Brandish says, a 12 year old boy standing next to her.

Dimaria got off James and the two brushed themselves off. She then knelt down next to the boy.

"Jhivaro, this man is your father." Dimaria says.

James and the boy just stare at each other.

"When...how?" James asks.

"He was born after you had disappeared. Due to my magic he was aged up by...accident." Dimaria says.

"Actually, Chronos saw potential in the boy and Dimaria agreed to let him age her son." Brandish says.

Dimaria punches Brandish with an awkward smile on her face.

"So, I assume you've been teaching him God Soul take over?" James asks.

"Yes, he's been accepted by Poseidon and is well trained with aquatic combat." Dimaria says.

Jhivaro then asks, "If you're my father, where have you been?"

James could see his black eyes in the child and felt something inside him. Maybe it was his paternal instincts kicking in, but whatever it was it made him feel happy.

"A bad man took me away. Don't worry, he's been punished." James says.

"Good. People who do bad things should be punished." Jhivaro responds.

James gives Dimaria a look.

"What? He's still young."

Dimaria thanked Brandish for watching Jhivaro, who promptly left to do whatever it was she did. The three then spent the rest of the day playing and catching up. Soon time passed and it was night. Jhivaro was put to bed and the couple were laying down in James' bed.

"When you disappeared I wanted to take the whole fleet to search for you, but I knew that you'd make it back to me eventually." Dimaria says.

"You'd do that for me? Thank you."

"Ugh, enough of this mushiness, I've got a lot of pent up stress I need to release." Dimaria says, removing her clothes and jumping on James.

The next day James decides to practice his Void Magic and heads to an empty training room. Upon reaching his destination James summons some Void Spheres and balances them around his body. Jhivaro entered the room, and James dissipated the orbs.

"Jhivaro, is there something you need son?" James asks.

"I felt your energy, and I was wondering if I could train with you." Jhivaro replies.

"That sounds like a great idea."

James re-summons the orbs while Jhivaro takes a seat summons his own Water Spheres and sends balances them around his body.

"If I may asks, what's the purpose of this exercise?" Jhivaro questions.

"It's supposed to help with endurance and improve how long we can use our magic." James answers calmly.

After an hour Jhivaro tired out and watched his father sitting still in deep concentration. The Void Spheres started shrinking and flew in front of James before spinning around each other slowly. Eventually the orbs fused into one, which was then dissipated.

James opened his eyes to see his son's eyes gleaming at him in awe. With a smile he ruffled his hair and chased him around the room. Dimaria found the two on the ground in a heap laughing their heads off.

"Hmhm, come on boys, time for lunch." Dimaria says.

The three visit the cliff again and ate their lunch, which consisted of sandwiches, chips, and some water bottles. James pondered his current situation. He'd never in his wildest dreams think he'd be a father, but here he was, eating lunch with his beautiful partner and his gifted son. Of course, Cana did pop into his mind and couldn't help but feel somewhat guilty.

That night when James was laying with Dimaria he couldn't sleep. He waited until she was asleep before getting out and heading to the training area. When he arrived he sat down and summoned some Void Spheres, trying to relax. He thought of his brother back at the Southern Wolves Guild Hall making jokes and laughing, and felt his body relax more.

After an hour more of training James finally returned back to his room. When he arrived he saw Dimaria reading a book with a candle lit.

"Are you ok? You don't normally stay up this late." Dimaria asks.

"I'm fine, just a bit tense." James responds, crawling under the covers.

"Well, I'm not in the mood right now, but I wouldn't mind a hug." Dimaria says, blowing out the candle and setting her book down.

James then holds her in his arms and falls asleep. The next day during training a report came in about a Dark Guild causing problems in a small village on the outskirts of the Empire.

Dimaria and James scouted the place with their son. It was a perfect time to have hands on training out in the field.

"Jhivaro, see if you can take out the sentries on top of the wall." James says.

Jhivaro then summons four Water Spheres and uses them to drown the wizards on guard. James nods in acceptance and leads the two through the front door.

"Alright all you imbeciles don't panic we are going to murder you all." James says, pulling at his coat collar.

The whole guild started laughing as one brave on approached Dimaria.

"Well then, if this guy's done with his little speech why don't you show us a good time you bi-"

"LANGUAGE!" James yells, punching the guy in the face, knocking his head clean off.

Jhivaro summoned more Water Spheres and spun them around so fast he was able to cut the other Dark Guild members apart. Dimaria used her Scimitar to cut apart some more members while James launched Void Spheres and decimated the remaining forces.

After a few minutes the whole Dark Guild had been killed and the three left with a burning building behind them. They all returned to the Empire where they decided to clean up and relax for a while. Jhivaro went off to clean his armor while James and Dimaria shared a dirty shower together.

That night James slept peacefully with his thoughts on Dimaria.

A.N. Alright, that's it for now. I'm not sure how much longer James'll be staying at the Empire, but hey I'll figure that out later.

Reviews would be appreciated

Anyways stay awesome guys and gals of the world, and I'll see you next chapter
