Quincy was sipping his wine, while he dined on oysters. He said, "It's time to provide the next two dragon slayers with their potions. We need to continue the ritual." He pulled out two different flasks. He poured two drops in two cups of water from the orange flask. Then, he poured two more cups of water and added two drops from the second red flask. He handed the cups to the guards to give to the volunteer dragon slayers for the next competition.
The guard asked, "And the blonde girl? We haven't located her yet." Quincy smiled, conveying, "All in due time. She can't have gotten far. It's very easy to get lost in these caves. Besides, we have another virgin with magical abilities. She's Kagura from Mermaid Heel."
"I wouldn't be too sure of that," interrupted Sal. Quincy spun around and said, "What do you mean, Sal? Did my men touch her? They'll be immediately killed if you say so." Sal grimaced, responding, "I don't think you need to do that. I doubt your men touched her. Did you know that shadow dragon slayer was dating her? She has been marked by him." Quincy yelled, "What?! We went through all that effort for nothing?" Sal sighed, "We have another complication with Kagura. She's pregnant."
Quincy's jaw tightened. He gritted out, "So you're saying one of our special virgins escaped, another is pregnant, and we don't have a virgin right now? How exactly will we do our ritual?" Sal exhaled, trying to think of a way to calm him. She said, "There are two virgins in the rescue campaign for the first generation slayers. We observed Yukino of Sabertooth and Erza of Fairy Tail. We still have a chance to recapture Fairy Tail's Lucy as well."
Quincy called the guards over and ordered, "Find Fairy Tail's Erza and Lucy and Sabertooth's Yukino. All these ladies are virgins. Even if we only get one woman,and the ritual can be completed." The guards ran out. Sal stood in front of Quincy, ready for his next order. She asked, "And Kagura? What are we doing with her?" He coldly maintained, "Dead people don't tell tales." Sal faltered, sputtering, "But, she's pregnant." His eyes narrowed. He asserted, "You heard what I said. Kill her." Sal bowed, saying, "As you wish, sir." She left to go back to Kagura's cage.
Quincy stormed out of the room. 'These incompetent people can't even keep a virgin girl in her cage. The next one we capture, who is a so-called virgin girl, is pregnant. Then they allow another of those virginal girls to help the first generation slayers escape. These women are ruining everything!' he brooded. He was shaking in rage. He took deep breath, composing himself: "Calm down. The next competition will come up in a few minutes. The guards will rectify the situation by the end of the competition. At least one woman will be ready for sacrifice. We'll hopefully recapture the 3 dragon slayers. Either way, the ritual will be complete. I will guarantee not a single damn dragon will show up on my watch." He methodically put his white hood back on to prepare for the crowd.
As he walked down the path leading to the caged arena, he practiced his speech in his mind. He got up to the doors, expecting to see the two cages with the wild villagers in them. He opened the doors to see absolute chaos. The guards were running around. "The villagers escaped! They somehow got out! We still haven't found the dragon slayers yet." Another added, "Or the virgin girl."
He yelled, "WHERE ARE THEY?" A guard walked up to report. "Sir, somebody let the villagers out. It looked as if someone had chomped on the bars to their cages. We think it may have been the first generation dragon slayer we captured a few years ago. He ate iron, too." Sal ran in screaming "Kagura has escaped, too." At this point, Quincy was furious. He bellowed, "You will capture any dragon slayer, villager or first generation. You will collect at least one virgin woman from that group. If you can't collect them, you need to kill them. They are not to tell the authorities about us! We are humanity's last hope against the reemergence of dragons!" The guards rushed off to do his bidding.
