The Fallout 9
Whoops meant to publish this a week ago. Apologies! I hope this chapter suffices.
The Archives
The bookshelves here looked worn, hinting no one cleaned them. In fact, the entire place seemed old and broken, yet it was still big.
"This is The Archives, every mortal life that has died is recorded here in a book. Important details of their life are written in their very own book," Levy explained.
"Even those who became demons and ghosts?" Jellal asked.
"Yes, even those who are demons or ghosts," Levy replied, "They are sorted by last name, so it might be a little difficult. Of course, on the front of the book is their first name. The last names are in alphabetical order."
Jellal was led to where the A section was. He didn't know Erza's last name. He just hoped that it wouldn't take him too long to search for her.
Jellal was curious at what he'd seen. Erza was part of him, somehow. Only one demon he knew had such vibrant hair. It must've been her.
He went through the lengthy A section in about two hours with little luck. The B section didn't produce any result's either. By then, it had already been four hours and Levy cam back to check on him.
"Are you sure there's no angel that can just scan this? Or anything at all?" Jellal sighed.
"There is one, but he's not here right now. I'll let him know if I see him again," Levy replied. She had left a tray of food for him and a cup of tea.
It was going to be a long day.
"Yes Erza! Aye!" the adorable high-pitched voice said. For the entire day, Happy would follow Natsu around and repeat whatever he said while flying freely. Though, he wouldn't go far from Natsu's side.
"Oi, Salamander! How come your cat's wings ain't demonic?" Gajeel asked.
"I've been curious about that too," Pantherlily agreed with his partner.
"I dunno, maybe it's 'cuz he's a kid still," Natsu shrugged. Honestly, he didn't really care if Happy had white or black wings.
"Maybe 'cuz he's still a kid! Aye sir!" Happy repeated again and landed on Natsu's shoulder.
"Teach it to shut up," Laxus ordered from his spot at the bar.
Natsu, seeing the annoyance on Laxus' face gave him a grin, "Nah."
"Na~h!" Happy flew up again and began circling Laxus, as if he knew that Natsu wanted to annoy him.
"I think he's adorable, right Gajeel? After all, you like small things," Mira beamed at Gajeel. He choked on his drink and Evergreen sent Mira a knowing wink.
"I have no idea what you're talking about," Gajeel responded gruffly. Mira simple grinned. She, Laki, Juvia, Cana and Evergreen had interrogated him and didn't get much out of him. They only were able to tell when he was lying. Of course, he did admit that "The Shrimp ain't as annoyin' as the others" which the girls obviously took as as a hint.
"Pay attention!" Erza shouted. Her hands were placed on her hips and she wore a terrifying look on her face. "Natsu, your punishment for burning down Mr. Hades' shop is being a footman for the ball! You aren't permitted to dance!" Erza ordered.
"I wasn't gonna anyways," Natsu mumbled.
"I wasn't gonna! Aye!" Happy flew back to Natsu and nested in his hair.
"Aren't you being a bit harsh on Natsu, Erza?" Mira asked sweetly.
"Of course not! You also aren't allowed to get food until after the ball!" Erza added. Natsu's face immediately fell.
Everyone with the exception of Erza, Natsu and Happy all sweatdropped. Of course she was being harsh.
"It's because Hades makes her favourite strawberry cake with extra strawberries," Laxus rolled his eyes. Everyone agreed silently.
"Whatever! Aye sir!" they all heard Happy repeat Natsu's mumble, who in turn was punched across the room by Erza into Gajeel.
Another brawl started and in the end, Erza punished Gajeel as well for destroying the cake she had ordered from Mira. He ended up being a footman as well.
He groaned and grumbled. Natsu did too after hearing he would have to work with Gajeel for a whole night.
"Aye sir!"
"Do you understand?" Makarov asked for the fourth time.
The creature in front of him nodded with a gulp, "Yes, of course. It's a simple task. You want me to take away the absorbing part of these shackles and just keep the blocking magic part," Yuka explained.
Makarov had received the shackles from Jellal before he rushed off to who knew where. He had cut away the chain to make it more appealing and even got someone to quickly paint them blue to.
Yuka was a warlock. A human who was born with the powers of an angel or demon. Some were even gifted with god-like powers. Yuka used simple spells and his specialty was defence by absorbing magic.
"All right, I can do it. It's the usual plants, but can you add *Opes Dator?" Yuka asked. In return for Yuka helping him, Makarov would often give him plants that he'd test out.
"Working in the opposite field now?" Makarov inquired.
"Don't you feel it? That sense of impending doom," Yuka said breathlessly, his large eyebrows raising higher on his face, "We need to prepare, Makarov."
"I know, and something tells me that no matter what, we won't be prepared enough."
Gray walked in slightly awkward silence.
Okay, it was extremely awkward.
This girl with bright pink hair came up to him and asked him if they wanted to go to the Mortal Realm and challenge a team together. There was only one problem.
He had no idea who she was.
He vaguely remembered Jellal introducing her once upon a time, and the only thing he remembered was that her name started with M. And so, he decided to call her M-in his mind of course.
"So uh, is there anything you have in mind?" Gray said with an awkward cough.
"Not really, I just wanna train," M responded. She giggled a bit as they entered the portal.
They popped out the other end smoothly. "Are you entering the Angel Exam as well?" Gray asked.
"Yup," M responded with a smile. "Look! There's a team!" M pointed to two people gathering a soul. Gray could feel it from here, the overwhelming energy of the soul. As he and M walked over he noticed that in fact, that two souls were bound together.
It wasn't as if this had never happened, but it was extremely rare. The occurrence in which this would happen was when two souls who had been very close in their mortal life. If they both died around the same time, their souls would be intertwined.
Of course, it took more power to gather them, and they wouldn't remember each other. However, they would stick close together in their afterlife.
"Should we challenge them?" Gray asked.
"Of course! They seem strong, and we need to train," M grabbed his wrist and dragged him over to the team.
"Gray-sama?" a familiar voice said. Gray looked over to see the curious blue-haired girl that he had met the other day. She seemed to be working with another demon that Gray knew all too well.
"Juvia-chan! Gray doesn't deserve such high titles from you!" the demon with white hair proclaimed.
"Lyon-sama, Juvia thinks that Gray-sama is challenging us for these souls," Juvia said in an unbothered tone.
"By himself? Let's not get ridiculous Gray," Lyon said with a snort. Gray and Lyon had known each other for a while. Longer than Gray and Natsu had known each other. Lyon-much to Gray's annoyance-treated Gray like a little brother in many ways.
"But he's not by himself," M coughed to turn the attention to her. Both Lyon and Juvia turned to see her, both with opposite reactions.
Lyon looked almost proud. Gray could've sworn he gave him a wink and thumbs up.
Juvia on the other hand was practically seething. If looks could kill, M would most definitely be dead by now.
"Love Rival!" Juvia shrieked.
"What's a Love Rival?" M looked to Gray.
"I don't really know myself..." he sighed.
"Juvia knows what you are doing! You disgusting Love Rival are trying to steal away Gray-sama by trying to impress him!" Juvia pointed a finger at M.
"Yes Juvia-chan! Gray doesn't love you like I do!" Lyon proclaimed. He reached for her hand, but Juvia moved out of the way.
"Well Juvia will tell you! Gray-sama isn't going to be affected by your acts! Juvia will protect Gray-sama from all the Love Rivals!" Juvia declared, "You! Love Rival will not get close to Gray-sama! Nor will Love Rival Lucy, or Love Rival Natsu-"
Gray almost threw up.
"Or Love Rival Cana! Or anyone!" Juvia shrieked.
"Uh...I'm not in love with Gray," M said with confusion.
"Lies!" with that, Juvia dashed at M. She opened her hand and shouted, "Water Slicer!"
M quickly jumped out of the way and summoned some blue swords. Juvia didn't even mind them as she prepared another spell, but was very surprised when the swords attacked her and she felt the damage.
"How did you-"
"My swords only attack your pain, not your physical body. Your water-like body doesn't matter to my attacks," M said with a grin.
"Ice make: Birds!" Lyon cried. His hands briefly glowed a green-blue before birds of ice appeared. The birds soared through the sky and aimed for Gray.
"Ice make: Shield!" Gray responded. A shield appeared in front of him. Half of the birds crashed into the shield and crumbled, but the others swerved up and came from another angle.
"Gray-sama!" Juvia cried.
"Gray!" M shouted as well. He grinned, as he and Lyon had fought before. He knew Lyon's tricks. He knew that Lyon specialized in moving ice, living magic, some called it.
Gray dashed out of the way just as the birds were about to hit him. They crashed and crumbled to pieces.
"Aw c'mon Lyon, you know that those old tricks can't fool me," Gray said with a smirk.
"Is...Lyon-sama also a Love Rival?" Juvia asked in the middle of her and M's battle.
"No! Of course not! Lyon and I, we're like..." Gray trailed off. What were he and Lyon like?
"Lovers?" M teased.
"Lyon-sama how could you!" Lying to Juvia about your feelings!" Juvia wailed.
"No!" Gray spat.
"Brothers! We're like brothers!" Lyon shouted as he watched the terrifying Juvia change her course of attack from M to him.
"Gray-sama! So many Love Rivals are around you! This is a dangerous situation! How will Juvia ever protect Gray-sama's lovely, ever-handsome body and sparkling eyes from the Love Rivals?" Juvia cried.
By now M was laughing, Gray wasn't sure if it was from Juvia's ridiculous description of him or uncomfortableness.
"Juvia has no choice! Gray-sama! Please forgive Juvia!" Juvia cried. Before Gray could react boiling hot water shot at him at a high speed. Juvia shouted something incoherent and Gray felt himself blacking out.
M's voice shot through with a spell. Gray prayed that it would save him, though it didn't seem like it did.
"Sensory Link!"
"What the hell is this!?" was the last thing Gray heard.
How many last names could there possibly be in the world? Jellal had already skipped lunch and politely asked Lucy to drop some food off at his house. His stomach grumbled loudly to tell him that missing dinner was a big no-no.
He had just finished the D section. Only the gods knew when he'd finally find Erza's last name.
He only had about an hour before dinner. He decided to leave The Archives and come back after. He flew out of the room and into the light of the regular library.
"Jellal?" Lucy's voice rang out. Jellal turned to see the blonde angel.
"Oh, Lucy. Were you looking for me?" Jellal asked.
"Yes. I was meaning to return this to you," Lucy held out his Light Pen. He had forgotten that she had borrowed it.
"Oh, thank you," Jellal took the pen. He studied Lucy for a while before speaking up, "Do you know the demon Erza?"
"Erza? I've herd of her. Na-" Lucy cut herself off.
She coughed awkwardly, "I mean, I've heard a few demons talking about her sometimes."
Jellal raised his brow in suspicion, but waved it off. "Do you, perhaps, know her last name?" Jellal practically whispered.
"No, sorry. Is there a reason why? I can ask around," Lucy asked in hopes she could help.
"No no. It's nothing, I was just wondering," Jellal began to fly off when Lucy caught him by the sleeve of his long jacket.
"Do you know a woman named Ultear?" Lucy asked.
Jellal's eyes widened, "Why...why are you asking about her?" he said suspiciously.
"Levy-chan was telling me about it. She thinks that Gray might've known her in his past life. When Wendy said her name he froze up. No pun intended," Lucy explained.
"We were friends. Ultear was a good angel. One day I woke up and was presented with a note that said she was sent on a special mission. I haven't seen her since," Jellal's face darkened.
"How long ago was that?" Lucy pressed.
"Six months. It's been six months since I've seen her," Jellal answered before flying off. Lucy was left on her own. The longest mission Lucy had heard of an angel going on lasted a month.
Was there a connection between Romeo and Ultear? Was there something more?
Gray's eyes were honestly very confused.
He woke from his unconscious state to see M and the Juvia chick gossiping, eating parfaits as sparkles, flowers and hearts emitted from them. Lyon was curled up into a ball in the corner with a dark aura.
Okay, it wasn't exactly like that. Lyon was curled up into a ball in the corner with a dark aura, but Juvia and M were simply talking.
"What the...?" Gray felt his eye twitch for the third time.
"Ah! Gray-sama!" Juvia flung herself onto Gray and forced them into a snuggling position.
"How was your rest?" M asked.
Before Gray could even respond, Lyon came flying to him in tears.
"Gray!" Lyon flung himself at Gray's currently non-snuggled side.
"Woah, Lyon are you-"
"It was horrifying!" Lyon shrieked, "There was this pink thing! And it had all these hearts on it and everything! And it appeared on me when she," Lyon pointed at M, "Cast her witchy spells!"
Gray tried to stifle a laugh.
"Shut up! You had one too!"
Gray quickly peaked at his left wrist.
"Don't insult Meredy-chan's magic. It is very impressive," Juvia said in a cool tone. How was it that Juvia knew her name, but he didn't!?
"So your name's Meredy?" Gray looked to Meredy.
"Yup!" she grinned cheerfully.
"You haven't heard the worst!" Lyon cried, "They...they connect you! I felt your pain! All of it! When Juvia was attacking you!" Lyon shouted.
"...What?" Gray finally managed to push off Juvia and stand on his own two feet.
"Then when I came to, and you didn't-because she took away the weird pink thing-they were talking about you! Juvia said your muscle's were as sculpted as a statue! What kind of analogy is that!" Lyon began.
"Only Juvia said that," Meredy clarified.
"If you're going to make weird statements, at least make them true!" Lyon cried out.
"Hey!" both Gray and Juvia said in retaliation.
"Gray-sama is perfect in every angle!" Juvia gave Lyon an angry look with pursed lips and dark eyes.
"Yeah!" Gray agreed.
"Yeah right!" Lyon snorted, "Meredy! Show him the weird pink thing!"
"Would you like a demonstration?" Meredy asked sweetly.
"Not rea-"
"Good! Now, Juvia, would you come here?" Meredy cut Gray off. Juvia stepped up.
"Now, I am going to connect your senses, how you react," Meredy held out a hand.
"Juvia and Gray-sama are going to become one!?" Juvia exclaimed.
"Sure," Meredy responded. Lyon sank with an outstretched hand to Juvia while Juvia almost literally melted into a puddle of water.
"Sensory Link!" Meredy shouted. A flash of pink appeared out of the corner of Gray's eye. He looked down to his right wrist to see a strange pink mark on him.
He looked at Juvia's wrist and noticed a similar mark on her wrist. She was squealing that "She and Gray-sama were finally one" Lyon looked disgusted mumbling that you had to be crazy if you wanted to "be one" with Gray.
"So we both have pink tattoos on our wrist?" Gray asked.
"No, you two are connected. Anything that she feels-physically or emotionally-you will feel as well," Meredy explained. She walked up to Juvia and began tickling her. Juvia began to laugh and scream at the same time.
"M-Meredy-san!" Juvia said between breaths.
Gray felt the tickling sensation on his body as well. He held his stomach and let out a laugh.
Meredy stopped tickling Juvia and instead ordered her to surround herself in a sphere of water. She raised her hands and water surrounded her.
Gray was surprised to feel colder and his clothes felt a bit heavier.
"Thanks Juvia," Meredy snapped her fingers and the pink-wrist-thing disappeared.
"And this works in battle as well?" Gray inquired.
"Yup!" Meredy grinned. "I used it on you and Lyon to knock both of you out and fought with Juvia for a bit. We eventually called a truce though."
"Juvia! There you are!" a strong voice called. Everyone turned to see Erza flying towards them.
Juvia tilted her head cutely, "Is there something you need Erza-san?"
"The girls of Fairy Tail are going to Acalypha for dress shopping!" Erza said with sparkling eyes. She grabbed Juvia by her hand, "Come on!"
"Why would they need to go dress shopping?" Meredy asked.
"The ball, of course," Lyon said simply. He looked at Gray and Meredy's dumbfounded faces and sighed, "You guys probably don't have any balls of any sort, do you?"
"Well..." Meredy started.
"Not really," Gray finished.
Lyon simply sighed, "Well, you won't be invited to this ball, and I doubt you guys will have one anytime soon." With that, Lyon flew off.
"Hmph, I wanna go to a ball. They get to get all dressed up!" Meredy mumbled.
"Hmm...did you collect those souls?" Gray asked. Meredy gestured to the balls of light that she was leading. "Ugh, we're gonna have to take care of those..." Gray grumbled.
"Don't worry, my friend will take care of them," Meredy chirped. Gray made a sound and ignored her as they flew slowly back to the portal to Heaven. "Anyways, don't you want to go to the ball?"
"I guess..." Gray mumbled.
"I guess getting dressed up doesn't really apply to you, does it?" Meredy furrowed her eyebrows.
"Yeah," Gray said lazily. "Wait! What!?" he said in realization.
Meredy giggled, "You already said yes."
"To what!?" Gray said in a panic.
"Nothing," Meredy flipped her hair and flew through the portal. Gray threw his arms up in the air and followed her through.
"I don't think I've ever seen you this excited before, Erza," Mira commented.
"Besides cake," Cana said with a slur.
"Cana-san, it's not even lunch...should you really be drinking?" Juvia said in genuine worry.
"It doesn't really matter," Evergreen responded for Cana, who was currently taking a swig of alcohol. Laki nodded and the group continued to follow Erza down the streets of Acalypha.
"Gajeel, would ya hurry up!?" Cana shouted to the grumbling dragon slayer.
"Why do I hafta do this? Ain't Salamander a footbro too?" Gajeel kicked a pebble.
"It's footman," Mira smiled.
"Natsu is taking care of Happy. Now stop complaining and hurry up!" Erza barked, "You're carrying anything we buy, so man up!"
Gajeel stuck his hands in his pant pockets, "Dumb cat..."
"How do you put up with him?" Evergreen asked Juvia.
"Gajeel-kun is like a snail," Juvia responded.
"He's slow?" Cana asked snarkily.
"Mentally? Yes," Mira grinned.
Juvia shrugged, "Well, that too-"
"Oi! I can hear you y'know! Dragon senses!"
"Gajeel-kun is very hard and tough on the outside. But, he's actually a huge teddy bear on the inside," Juvia continued as if Gajeel wasn't there at all.
"Alright!" Erza interrupted the other girls' conversation, "We're at the first shop! Everyone be on your best behaviour!"
"Yes sensei," Cana said in a childish voice, imitating the way a kid would address its superior. Of course, Erza didn't respond because she had already rushed inside with stars in her eyes.
The inside of the shop was absolutely beautiful. Nearly all the dresses were all longer than the knee and had beautiful patterns on them.
All the girls split up in different directions. Erza seemed to be drawn to a dress that was advertised as a double for armour. Mira went towards the back of the store, while Cana stayed near the front. Juvia was looking specifically for blue dresses, Evergreen mumbled something about "looking like a fairy queen" and Laki wanted to find something that went for her "theme."
"This sucks," Gajeel slunk down in a comfy, fluffy, purple couch.
"Dress shopping?" Cana asked.
"The whole toeman thing," Gajeel answered, "And it's with Salamander too, which makes it even more annoying. He's gonna try and one-up me."
"So?" Cana said as she brought her cup of alcohol back to her lips.
"I'm obviously better than him!" Gajeel declared far too loudly. Numerous people turned to Gajeel and shushed him. Gajeel, however just waved them off.
"So what do you think Erza?" Mira's voice rang as she came out of the dressing room.
"It's nice, maybe we could come back to it," Erza suggested, Mira nodded and headed back to the dressing room.
"Hold up," Gajeel turned to Cana, "They ain't gonna buy it? But they're gonna come back?"
"You've never gone dress shopping, have you?"
Gajeel stared at Cana with a does-it-fucking-look-like-I've-been-dress-shopping-before-woman stare.
"Well, get used to it," Cana sighed and took another sip.
"Why are you not lookin' around?" he asked.
"Please, in this store?" Cana gestured to all the delicate dresses on the racks.
"...True," Gajeel crossed his arms and simple sat with a scowl on his face.
This sucked.
Wendy huffed lightly as she raised her hands high above her head. She inhaled quickly and brought her hands down.
"You're getting better!" the cheery voice from behind her said.
"Thanks Chelia-chan," Wendy rested her hands on her knees and turned her head to face the pink haired angel.
After a few days with Yukino, King Makarov called her in. He presented her with blue bracelets and told her that they were magic suppressing. He explained that Wendy gave off a high amount of power and it could be dangerous if it wasn't controlled. So, until Wendy could fully control her power, she was to wear the bracelets.
Chelia was an angel who shared a similar magic to Wendy. She had offered to help Wendy.
"Let's see your roar," Chelia ordered.
Wendy nodded and stood up straight again. She clenched her fists tightly and focused her magic energy on her lungs. Wendy exhaled. She began sucking in the air around her, when she took in all that she could, she let out a scream, "Sky Dragon's Roar!"
The space in front of her blasted with wind. The speed and velocity, accompanied with magic allowed the wind to cut through the windows.
"Not bad," Chelia smiled.
"Hey Chelia-chan, why do you think I have to wear these?" Wendy said as she put on the bracelets.
"Well your control-"
"I mean, why am I the only one that has to wear them? Nobody else has," Wendy puffed out her cheeks and crossed her arms.
"My guess is that it has something to do with you being a dragon slayer," Chelia said as she fixed her pink locks.
"Is being a dragon slayer really special?" Wendy furrowed her brow.
"You're the only one in Heaven, and we don't know a lot about them. The king might, but getting an audience with him isn't easy," Chelia said as they walked out of the training room.
The training rooms were located east of the Dining Hall and since the Angel Exam was coming up, they were especially busy.
"Say Chelia, what rank are you?" Wendy asked out of pure curiosity.
"I'm an Angel," Chelia responded.
"Oh, was the exam hard?"
"They change it every year, but it wasn't the easiest thing. On my year, we had this huge puzzle thing. A word of advice for you, nothing is exactly as it seems," Chelia said wisely.
"How long have you known those two?" Meredy asked Gray as they began to fly to the Dining Hall.
"I've known Lyon for a long time. We fight a lot," Gray answered.
"I can tell. You seemed to know his magic-which I might add is very similar to yours," Meredy stated.
"That's true."
"What about Juvia?" Meredy pressed.
"I met her about a day ago I guess?" Gray said simply.
"So you two aren't a thing? What was up with her whole "love rival" thing? How come, if you met her twenty-four hours ago, she has figured so many love rivals?" Meredy said with sparkling eyes. Gray got a looming feeling that she enjoyed juicy drama.
"No, we're not a thing. I have no idea what's up with the love rival thing and she first saw me fighting with Natsu, then I mentioned Lucy," Gray explained as best he could.
"What about the Cana girl?" Meredy inquired.
"Cana is a drunkard, she'll stick her tongue down your throat regardless of who you are or what the consequences are," Gray sighed.
"Oh, I see. I wonder, would it be possible if you and Lyon were brothers in your mortal life?" Meredy wondered aloud.
"I don't think so. We look nothing like each other. Well, at least, we don't look enough like each other to be brothers," Gray decided.
"It would suck if you were an angel and your sibling was a demon," Meredy sighed.
"Yeah it would. I can't possibly imagine..." Gray agreed.
Lisanna sneezed.
She sighed. She would have to restart the batch of cookies she had made for desert. It was good that she had other batches, but it would definitely be annoying.
She hadn't even felt the sneeze coming! What in the name of the gods could have possibly happened to cause that sneeze?
The wind coming in from the door made the other angels in the kitchen frenzy even more. She quickly finished shaping the last piece of cookie dough and she popped the batch into the oven.
She saw angels settle down into their seats. The previously empty Dining Hall was suddenly full. She noticed Lucy and Levy talking, probably about a book. Gray was sitting with Loke, Aries and Capricorn. Jellal seemed to be sitting with an angel that Lisanna had only recently met, Meredy.
Suddenly, Jellal stood up from his seat and grabbed his plate. He headed in the direction of the kitchen.
"Is there something I can do for you?" Lisanna greeted him with a smile. She noticed how dead his eyes looked.
"Do you think I could grab dessert early? I've got somewhere to go," Jellal asked.
"Why of course," Lisanna grabbed a plate and tongs and headed to a tray of cookies. "One or two?" she asked Jellal.
"One's fine."
Lisanna made her way back to Jellal with the plate in hand. "Do you want some milk with these?"
"No thanks," he grabbed the plate. And headed out the door. Jellal flew quickly as he ate the cookie. Once he reached the library he raced to the back where The Archived sat.
It took another hour and a half to get through the E section. Jellal knew he was only pulling out the books to see what name was on the front but he was surprised to find that it took such little time. It was then he noticed that on the top of the shelf in big block letters it said "Fiore."
This was only one continent in the world! Jellal sighed. He had also found it amazing that he hadn't come across any other Erza's. This little project could take longer than he thought...
He skimmed over the F section. He noticed his last name on the shelf, but resisted the temptation of looking. Though, if he and Erza's pasts were intertwined then maybe he'd learn her last name and a bit about that scene that he saw.
All angels and demons didn't know their first name right away. It was the same for the last name, it took a while to remember. Some would even remember details about those close to them in their mortal life.
There seemed to be quite a few Fernandes' and Jellal was hoping that there wasn't another Jellal Fernandes.
"Jellal!" a voice called. Jellal sucked in a breath and flew away from his section of the shelf and bumped into another, luckily only one book fell.
"Meredy, what are you doing in here? You shouldn't be," Jellal scolded.
"And you should?" she raised an eyebrow. Jellal sighed. "Anyways, I forgot to give you the souls at dinner. You rushed out as soon as you finished the spaghetti."
"Can you just drop them off in my house?" Jellal began to push Meredy to the door.
"Fine, fine. I'll leave you be," Meredy shook her head. She flew away and closed the door.
Jellal walked back to the F section of Fiore. He bent over to pick up the fallen book when he noticed that the book had opened when it fell. He found himself reading the passage.
...seventh day, he collapses. In his sleep, he freezes and passes.
Jellal picked up the book and closed it to reveal the name of the person.
Gray Fullbuster
There we go! I hope you all enjoyed this chapter.
*Opes Dator-Opes means "power" and dator means "giver" thus why Makarov asked if Yuka was going into the "opposite field.
I hope things aren't too slow for you. I know y'all were hoping for some NaLu, so stay tuned!
