Someone made this request, and I can't remember who. I feel like a terrible person. Oh well.

Cobra did not understand what the point of this was.

They weren't even really an alliance. So why did the three guild masters of Oracion Seis, Grimoire Heart, and Tartaros(although those demons were convinced that book Geer was always carrying was their guild master. Demons were extremely strange) insist on having these meetings? From what he heard, they sort of just sat in there and discussed whatever light guild happened to annoy them the most the past month or two. Most of the time it was Fairy Tail.

Fairies were very annoying, Cobra decided.

Sometimes he really hated being able to hear people's thoughts. It was excellent for screwing with the rest of the Oracion Seis, but Brain made him come to every single one of these meetings so he could learn what the other two guilds were planning. It was a smart tactic- he wasn't Brain for nothing- but it was most certainly not Cobra's ideal circumstances. At least he had Cubelios.

Her head suddenly perked up, and Cobra immediately scanned the surroundings. Two of Grimoire Heart's elite was walking down the hallway in Grimoire Heart's airship, where they were having this particular meeting(the three guilds rotated. Cobra had always found Tartaros's base…...interesting.). A man with spiky blonde hair and a little girl with pink hair. She was ten, if what Cobra was hearing was correct, and it had been her birthday yesterday. Lucky her.

"I already told you, Ultear's in her room. If you want her, go there."

"I am aware of that. I was asking where Rustyrose is."

"Why would you want to find him? I don't wanna listen to a sonnet or whatever he spouts off."

"They are not sonnets. They are descriptive three/four-line poems," …...Meredy, that was it, replied flatly. "And as you can see, my headpiece broke. I requested that he create a new one."

…..Zancrow (as her thoughts said) rolled his eyes. "Well, he's in his room. Go on."

A Godslayer? A fire one? Now that was interesting. Cobra had heard of Godslaying magic in his studies of Dragonslaying, but hadn't paid much attention. Apparently the other man was just as interested in meeting a Dragonslayer. And was also certifiably insane, if his thoughts were any indication.

"You're the Oracion Seis's Dragonslayer, right? What're you doing here?"

Cobra indicated the snake, who spread her wings. "Transportation." That was their general story. It worked.

The other Dark Mage got right to the point. "Ever seen a dragon?"

"Ever seen a god?" Cobra answered rhetorically.

"Not a god, but definitely a demon, if Tartaros's average wizard is anything."

Cobra doubted that any of Grimoire Heart knew that Tartaros actually were demons, created by Zeref, etc, etc. It was ironic that no one else had figured this out, because one had horns, one had talons for feet and hands, and one had four arms. However, he simply nodded in response. Zancrow was obviously also bored and had decided Cobra would be an interesting conversation companion. Cobra could oblige.

"Is the snake poisonous?"

"Considering that she's killed everyone she bites slowly and painfully, very."

The Godslayer grinned at that. Those were some very interesting thoughts. Torturing your enemies was fun, yes, but…...his initial assumption of certifiably insane seemed to be spot on.

Although, any of them would probably be labeled certifiably insane if the Magic Council ever caught them. Which of the odds were extremely thin.

Zancrow tried to touch Cubelios. She snapped at him. Cobra sighed. "Don't try. She's a ruthless killing machine. Who does not appreciate anyone except me touching her."

This caused him to remember a very entertaining time when the Oracion Seis were still kids, and Angel fell on top of the snake. Cubelios was not amused, and spent the next week haunting Angel. Angel hated snakes now, for some strange reason.

Unsurprisingly, the Grimoire Heart mage nodded approvingly. "Ruthless killing machine is a good thi- what is it, Meredy?"

"Rustyrose isn't in his room. Ultear said he wasn't actually here. I told her you lied to me. She's annoyed."

Zancrow looked scared. Judging from the girl's smug expression and his thoughts, Ultear was a very scary person. Cobra believed it. He knew a few things about the Arc of Time Mage, and she sounded exceedingly unnerving. Especially from the murderous thoughts coming from the right.

"You may want to run." Meredy said in a voice that screamed I AM NOT CHEERFUL OFTEN.

Zancrow took her advice and took off. He was just in the nick of time, as a woman with straight black hair came stalking around the corridor. She didn't waste time questioning Cobra as to the reason for his presence.

"Where did he go."

Meredy, Cobra, and Cubelios pointed right.

Welp, Zancrow's doomed. At least Zeref killed him instantly. Ultear wasn't a dark mage for nothing.

I can't believe this story went three entire chapters without Cobra. I think it's a new record.

I absolutely LOVE it when people review stories(hint hint nudge nudge). And a request is good too. Sayonara!
