Valentines Special
Diary Entry: Off Record
It was late in the evening, and all through the castle, not a creature was stirring except for a certain sand rascal…
Oh wait… wrong holiday!
Do any other holidays have good one liner like that?
I don't think so…
Anyway, its Valentine's Day tomorrow and I've got the perfect gift for Dimaria (I asked her to be my valentine three days ago and she was chill about it)
Brandy and Ajeel plan on seeing some sort of show during the day but tomorrow night; Dimaria, Ajeel, Wahl, August, Jacob, Invel, Serena, Brandish, Zeref and I will be celebrating Valentine's Day together in the main hall.
Note to self: I am pushing this first real holiday as hard as possible since I missed out on Christmas!
Alvarez Castle
"Sup bitches!" yelled Ajeel as he kicked open the doors to the main dining hall, upon seeing Zeref seated alongside his fellow Spriggan, his eyes widened in surprise, "Your majesty, sorry about that"
"It's fine Ajeel, you have every right to be in a good mood. Miss. Brandish is an excellent person, I'm sure you will both enjoy the show" said Zeref with a smile.
Ajeel went red in the face.
"You told him…" he hissed at Dimaria, Ryan and Wahl who were (only barley) containing their laughter.
"In my defence… nah I got nothing… Wahl?" chuckled Ryan childishly.
"It's just a bit of fun amongst the Spriggan Ajeel, I'm sure that no matter what happens you'll always remain friends" laughed Wahl.
"You got that right…" whispered Dimaria.
"Oh… Invel get this man some ice for that burn" said Ryan with a smirk.
"HEYO!" cheered Wahl before the two were swept out of the room in a wave of sand.
The other remaining Spriggan chuckled at the desert kings embarrassment before the soft clicking of heels against marble floor filled the room.
Brandish had her hair let down, she was wearing a lovely black gown that had a split down the side, revealing her smooth skin.
"B…Brandish… you look amazing" stuttered Ajeel.
"As do you Ajeel" said Brandish with a small smile.
"W… what the?" cried Ajeel as he looked down and saw he was in a dusty brown suit, his normal tangle of hair was pulled back with a hair tie, a strong smell of desert lilies wafted off of him.
He turned his head to see Ryan's glowing hand fade and one of his various tomes vanish.
The tome master winked and gestured for him to go.
"Have fun you two! Wear protection!" yelled Wahl as he finally managed to get back into the hall before being promptly swept out again.
"Too be young… right your majesty?" sighed August with a smile.
"Yes… to be young" agreed the immortal.
Later that Evening
"Umm… Dimaria, happy valentine's day" stammered Ryan nervously as he held out a heart shaped box of chocolates and a bouquet of flowers.
The Valkyrie seemed taken back by the sudden gesture; her cheeks flushed red as she softly grabbed them.
"Salted caramel… my favorite, how did you know?" she asked curiously as she bit into one.
Ryan rubbed the back of his head sheepishly.
"You told me back when we first met, I've just remembered" he explained.
"How sweet!" noted Wahl.
"Tome of Dragon Slayer Secret Arts: Shattering Light, Sky Drill!" yelled Ryan as he blew the tech mage out the nearest window.
Dimaria shuffled around for a moment before producing a medium sized gift bag.
"Here you are Ryan, happy valentine's day" said Dimaria with a completely red face.
The mage gently opened the bag before pulling out a rather thick book.
"What's this?" he asked curiously.
Opening the first page, his breath caught in his throat as he saw a picture of himself and Dimaria eating cotton candy together.
"It's a book of every good time you've had with the Spriggan, we're all in there" explained Dimaria as she gestured for him to sit down next to her on the bed.
Flicking through the pages Ryan laughed and smiled as he saw Ajeel getting electrocuted by Wahl's doll, Invel being caught eating a tub of ice-cream and Serena setting the kitchen on fire when he got angry trying to make popcorn.
A single tear hit the page; Dimaria looked at Ryan and saw that the wizard was crying.
"I'm sorry, this is just so amazing… thank you" he said and without even thinking he gave her a soft kiss on the lips.
Dimaria's eyes were rolling around in her head, the warrior's brain unable to comprehend what had just transpired.
"Say a word Wahl and I'll disassemble you until you can't be put back together" growled Ryan, the door to the room suddenly closed softly and the sound of running footsteps could be heard from outside the door.
"Thank you Ryan…" whispered Dimaria as she hugged the mage tightly.
"Hey Ryan! You owe me a fight!" yelled Serena as he burst through the door.
Two hands met two faces.
Castle Arena
"The rules are simple, only dragon slayer magic may be utilized during this match. The first one to bring unconsciousness to the other will be declared the winner or if one combatant concedes defeat or if I the judge deem one of the combatants to be unable to carry on" stated August from the judges box, Invel and Zeref sat on either side of him.
"Kick his butt RYAN!" yelled Wahl loudly.
"You got this Serena!" yelled Ajeel.
The desert king and country demolisher had been forced to cancel their date when Brandish had shrunk the entire dinner by accident, they were now enjoying a few drinks (they should be technically dead) and watching the match.
"Tome of Dragon Slayer Secret Arts, Tome of Dragon Slayer Magic" whispered Ryan as two tomes appeared in his hands, he let them float behind him, this allowed him to access the spells without having to access the tome.
"Any words before the match begins?" asked August to his too fellow judges.
"Well my money is on dragon slayer experience, Ryan may have more variety of magic to draw from but Serena is more experience in using dragon slayer magic" noted Invel.
"That is correct however Ryan is much more experienced than anyone here, don't doubt his power" explained Zeref with a small smile.
August and Invel looked surprised by this revelation but didn't push it.
"Are the combatants ready?" asked August.
"Ab… sol… utely" said Serena as he struck a pose.
"Ready…" muttered Ryan as his aura flared up.
"BEGIN!" roared August.
"Purgatory Dragons Hellflame!"
"Fire Dragon Brilliant Flame!"
The two raging flames exploded in the center of the arena, the shield barrier only just holding under the immense heat.
"Glacial Dragon Raging Blizzard!"
A wave of ice hit Ryan like a truck, blasting his backwards and encasing him in layers of ice.
"It seems as if the tome master has been subdued" noted Invel in surprise.
Serena looked proud as he flicked the ice and nodded.
"Fire Dragon Wing Attack!" yelled Ryan as he appeared behind hybrid theory and ripped into him.
"I take it back!" yelled Invel as he looked on in wonder.
"Sea Dragon Battle Array!"
A tidal wave of water rushed towards Ryan, the young man simply stood his ground.
"GET OUT OF THE WAY RYAN!" screamed Dimaria in panic.
"Holy Shadow Dragon Flash Fang!"
A combination of light and dark energy erupted from Ryan's fists as he utilized the unison raid attack used by Sting and Rouge.
"What!?" yelled Serena in surprise as the unison raid tore through his water attack and pummeled him into the wall.
"What a crippling attack, thoughts gentlemen?" asked August curiously.
"Since Ryan's tomes automatically catalogue any spell he has seen it only makes sense that a unison raid based attack would be present in his arsenal" explained Zeref.
"It seems that Serena is getting serious now" noted Invel.
It was true; the dragon slayer was fully concentrated on beating the tome master.
"Enough small play Ryan, now we fight to win" growled the former wizard saint.
"Indeed, let's begin" nodded Ryan.
The two mages lit up their auras, the sheer power of them threatening to burst the protective barrier, yet neither would even consider going soft.
"One attack Ryan, the final bout to decide whose dragon slaying magic is better" said Serena as his hands lit up with magic.
"Agreed" said Ryan with a nod as he took a deep breath.
"I don't plan on losing, I've got a final secret art spell that not even his majesty has seen yet" laughed Serena, "I planned on using it against Acnalogia but this will be the true test"
Ryan's eyes narrowed at the name of the dragon king but he kept his resolve.
"Hmm… that spell could kill Ryan" noted August with a tone of worry.
"The real danger here is not for Ryan, his victory is assured, we now just have to pray that he doesn't kill God Serena in the process of winning" laughed Zeref loudly.
"Ready?" asked Serena.
"Ready" said Ryan with a nod.
"Dragon Slayer Secret Art: Luminous Sky Eclipse Blade!"
"Celestial Dragon Slayer Magic huh?" noted Ryan as he bought his left foot back.
The golden energy surged toward him; there wasn't a human on earth who could stop that.
Even Zeref looked concerned.
"True Dragon Lost Art: Space Distortion!"
Ryan stuck out his hand and a large magic circle appeared in front of him, the wave of golden light was rendered useless as it flowed around the shield.
Once Serena had spent all his magic, Ryan let down the shield.
"Impossible, that was everything I had" he said, gasping for breath.
Ryan grinned before he snapped his fingers, a spiral of purple left in his wake.
"What the?" noted Wahl as he scanned for the teen.
"SPACE DRAGON ROAR!"
Serena had no time to block the sheer wall of energy that had erupted from the lips of the Tome Master who had teleported above him.
To say God Serena was crushed by the attack would be like saying that a fly could stop a tank; he was pulverized into the ground.
Once the dust had cleared everyone looked to see Ryan standing over the completely unconscious Serena, the Spriggans body burnt and battered by the force of the breath attack.
"THE WINNER IS RYAN BLACKWORTH!" yelled August loudly.
Everyone present cheered loudly and Ryan raised his hands in victory
"Good try Serena… maybe next time" whispered Ryan as he walked off.
The dragon slayer simply groaned.
Ryan looked to the stands, his eyes locking with those of a certain warrior princesses.
"Happy valentine's day Ryan"
"Happy valentine's day Dimaria"
A/N: Happy Valentines Day everyone!
Tell that very special person you love them, regardless of if it's a holiday or not!
They deserve to be told that they're loved and who better to tell them than you?
Ideas for the main story are coming way slower now that the manga has slowed up a bit (still loving it but Wahl and Laxus's battle is just lasting too long!)
So I'll probably be updating Death at Kuoh academy next week...
Maybe...
Don't quote me on that!
Review, fav and follow and as always:
My name is Parradox and thanks so much for reading.
See ya next week!
