I have been working on this one for a few months, but I've barely had any time to work on it. I'm sorry for the long hiatus, though, so for New Year's I present the shortest chapter in the story. I hope to get a few more chapters out soon enough.
March 2nd, X785

There weren't many times when the whole guild was scared. Many were too bold or overconfident to feel scared. This was one of those times. As I took out one of the undead wretches and splattered its blood all over the rocky, desert sand, we all heard the blood curdling scream. As the brownish beam thinned into the air we saw the kingly figure grab a demonic body out of the air. Helios held Mirajane by the slightly-broken wing and he knew he had everyone's attention. Helios drew a broadsword form a sheath on his side. He brought the blade to the throat of the take-over mage. We all saw. We all watched. Mirajane's head hit the dirt as fast as Lloyd's katana hit Helios' broadsword. "DIE!" Yelled a demented, distorted, and demonic voice. His eyes were not their normal brown, but red. But not a firey red, but a blood colored red, the same ones I saw at the dark guild. He was out for blood.
Helios
I'd made my point. The demon girl was a signal for them to give up. This kid must've been more bone-headed than I thought. But there was something different now. His eyes sought blood. His blood rushed. He was going to give me a good fight. I grinned as I forced the boy away. "What's your name, boy?" He stared at me and for the first time in my life, I felt frightened...for but a mere second.
"Grrrrr..." He jumped at me and I blocked him, much like before. "KILL!" He repeatedly pounded the katana on the broadsword. I was actually pushed onto the ground, as I saw the broadsword crack.
"You little shit!" I shot the same beam as I shot at the demon, but he blocked it as he finally broke my sword. I rolled out of the way as he slashed the ground. I shot several more beams but each one he either dodged of blocked. "What the hell are you?!"
"Ice...Dragon...Shot!" He snarled as he shot miniscule beams by the ton and it took my full speed to keep up.

I saw the Blonde haired boy who served helios beginning to run to aid his master. I ran as quick as I could to intercept him. "Sky Dragon Roar!" I yelled. I roared a beam of wind at the boy. He jumped out of the way and rolled forward. He turned toward me and stared at me with a scowl. A great fight was about to begin.
