Chapter 2:
Narrator's POV:
"W-wh-what happened?" Meredy stuttered finally after an hour or two passed. Meredy was still quite shaken by the fact she woke up hours ago sitting on a crater that used to be their campsite, more than 70 large trees uprooted and two of her guildmates unconscious.
"Cobra woke us all up in the middle of the night," Jellal said, "He said your voice slowly faded into nothingness, however you were still there. When everyone was in your tent your eyes opened wide, and you were immediately enveloped in large pink aura. Suddenly you released an immense level of magic power. Midnight refracted most of the damage but a small amount hit him. Cobra began breaking down, ears dripping with blood. Then you suddenly wake up, and all went back to normal… but you went unconscious again… probably due to fatigue."
Meredy looked at Jellal with fear and regret. "Jellal… I'm sorry… I don't know what happened. This is all my fault." Meredy began bursting into tears. Jellal attempts to comfort her, however it was a futile attempt.
Suddenly, Jellal swiftly grabs Meredy and jumps to dodge an incoming arrow. The ground the arrow had just hit starts to dissolve along with the arrows. "What the?" Jellal says, "Where did that arrow come from?"
A very well built man comes out of the bushes. He sports a large white cloak hanging on his back like a flowing cape in the wind, his brown hair blowing in the wind. He has a blank expression on his face. He wore had a headband made of gold shining leaves. His beard stubble and his bulging muscle highlighted his masculine figure. His figure was outlined in the tight white vest he wore. "Hand over the girl" the man spoke.
"You'll have to go through me" Jellal began, "What's your name and why are you here"
"My name is Ganaroth, and I'm here to kill the pink haired beauty behind you," Meredy blushed at the compliment even though it was a compliment from the man that just attempted to dissolve her skull two minutes ago, "and it seems a bit of retaliation comes from your side. I guess I'll have to stall you out."
"Crime Sorciere defend Meredy!" Jellal screamed.
"Oh you're mistaken boy, they're already defending against my men." Suddenly, a woman bursts out of the trees. Meredy barely gets a chance to look at her assassin before the sword is quickly deflected."
"And who the hell are you?" says the female assassin.
"That's quite rude to ask of someone's name before you even say yours," Jellal sweatdrops in the background after doing the very same thing not long ago, "but if you must know, it's Erza, Erza Scarlet".
