New chapter hurray! I'm shipping Zervis even though this is a Yury/Mavis okay here we go!
Yury walked away he didn't need to see that. Yury wasn't even sure what way he was going but as long as it was away from them he didn't care. He didn't care if that guy was the one who taught him magic, he didn't care if he knew really powerful magic and he didn't care if Mavis liked him! Just yesterday he'd convinced himself that there wasn't anyone who fit the criteria necessary to be with Mavis but him…that black wizard he was different. He was smart, he respected Mavis and didn't care about how she looked, and he certainly didn't fear her. He offered to help her! And about getting past Warrod, Precht and himself?! That guy was the one who taught them magic! Taught Mavis Fairy Law and was teaching her some unnamed magic now! Yury cursed he didn't stand a chance against him.
Yury blanched…what the hell was he thinking?! He internally screamed. Yury rubbed his face as if he could un-think that thought but he couldn't, it was stuck…lodged in his subconscious so much it was giving him a headache!
"Yury!" Yury turned to Mavis's voice.
"Lightning Mage!" the black wizards voice called out, Yury snorted he doubted he even knew his name, not that Yury new his anyway. Yury trailed back to them, they were just away from the stream.
"Yury don't wonder off I was worried" Mavis says holding her inked arm.
"Sorry" he found himself apologising.
"Is it done?" he asks seeing the black wizard at her side.
"Not yet now I have to seal it and it's going to hurt" Mavis nods bravely holding out her arm, which he takes, Yury walks around to her other side and takes her free hand.
"I got you" he tells her and almost pulls her away from the black wizard when she heartbreakingly smiles at him. Clenching her jaw and closing her eyes, a small apologetic look was given from Zeref to Mavis even though she couldn't see, his hand begins to glow and Mavis flinches both boys keep their grip on her as the ink sets in her skin.
"What's this meant to feel like?" Yury asks, seeing Mavis shaking from the pain.
"Thousands of needles injected into your skin in the same spot over and over" Zeref says honestly, Yury winces but Mavis was strong, though the area around her mark was red, it eventually turned back to normal except for the black mark on her arm, Zeref led them over to the water and dipped her arm in.
'"Ouch!" she cried as if the water hurt more than the needle-like pain. Zeref kept her there for a minute as the mark glowed and then released her.
"Mavis are you okay?!" Yury asks worried.
"It stings a bit but I'm okay" she assures them.
"Good, how about we continue walking and later on you can try it out" Zeref suggests, Mavis nods in agreement and Yury grabs his bag.
"Are you okay?" Zeref asks later on the road.
"Yeah I'm fine don't worry, I hope not all the magic you teach me will be that hard" she says with a smile, Zeref half smiles.
"Don't worry it shouldn't especially the next one I want to teach you, although you won't be able to use it to try it out"
"Why not?" she asks, he looks to her.
"I'll be teaching you a defensive spell, again you get to name it but due to its power and the nature of the spell, it's something you can only use in dire circumstance so not something you can just test out…do you understand?"
"Yeah I do and thank you Ze-…Z" she says with a smile, Yury raised an eyebrow having heard her name him.
"So your name is Z?" Yury asks, Zeref looked over his shoulder to him.
"I've been called many names" he says looking to Mavis for a moment.
"Z is just one" he states continuing their walk.
When they settle down for the night just before they lose the sun Zeref decides they should try out Mavis's new power.
"What should I do?" Mavis asks staring at the large rock they had stopped at and Zeref had decided would be her target.
"You'll need to stand back further for one" he says fifty paces away, Mavis moves back as does Yury.
"Are you sure?" Zeref gives her a patient look and she nods understanding.
"Alright" she says ready.
"First hold your arm out in the direction of the boulder" Zeref says and Mavis complies.
"You need to think of wanting to do something, something urgent, but unselfish, something that means a lot to you, you need to direct your feelings at that boulder understand?"
"What do I say?" Mavis asks.
"Whatever comes to you mind" Zeref says, Mavis nods and concentrates.
Doing something important to her, something unselfish…saving her friends! Just like when she saved Yury she wanted to be able to protect her friends, Yury, Zeref, Warrod, Precht, all of Fairy Tail she wanted to be able to protect them! Mavis felt magic fill her as her arms mark glowed, she thought the words instead of saying them as a huge gust of shiny magic shot out of her arm and at the boulder. The boulder disintegrated! Along with about fifty feet of forest behind it.
"Whoops maybe I should have picked a mountain for your first go" Zeref says but he had a smile on his face as Mavis lowered her arm with the same awestruck look as Yury.
"Whoa!" Yury exclaimed.
"So what did you decide to call it?" Zeref asks knowing it wouldn't have worked had she not named it something.
"Fairy Glitter" she tells them with a triumphant smile.
"Fairy Glitter it is" Zeref accepts.
"Well I know one thing" Yury says.
"What's that?"
"I'm no longer going to be the one getting in trouble for going overboard" Mavis smiles and then laughs, Yury joins her but he half hoped the forest didn't catch on fire.
