Jumping into bed, Faye yawned, her red hair cascading down her waist. Cyan was in the shower, singing, while Azura was on her bed, checking the damage done to Brisingr and the diamond encrusted sword.
"That was a good fight, wasn't it?" Faye asked drowsily.
"Yes it was," Azura replied without once looking up. "I meant to ask this question before, but why does it seem that you always accept any challenge the Redfox triplets make?"
"I simply want to be the best. It's hard to live up to the expectations of others, when your mom is Erza Fernandes, one of the strongest female mages in this guild. What's more, I look a lot like her. I sometimes envy your sapphire hair, Zura."
Azura clucked her tongue. "That ego would not get you far sister."
"I'd like to follow in Mom's footsteps. Imagine Erza Scarlet's daughter, Faye Scarlet Fernandes, the strongest in the guild! Mom would be proud!"
She caught Azura shaking her head disapprovingly and complained disdainfully, "What?! Is it wrong to be ambitious?"
"Have it your way then…"
"What's all this fuss about?", Cyan asked, as she emerged from the bathroom, violet hair still dripping wet.
"Your sister is very ambitious, too ambitious for her own good."
"Too ambitious for her own good," Faye mimicked Azura's tone.
Cyan giggled, "As expected of Faye Scarlet Fernandes. C'mon then, let's go to bed. I'm pretty much bushed."
At last, the parents of the teenage mages return, after their 8 years quest in a faraway place. Here comes Natsu and Lucy Dragneel, Jellal and Erza Fernandes and Gajeel and Levy Redfox.
The doors of the guild open, revealing three pairs of mages, all looking haggard from their journey. They're S-class mages though, so of course, they still have enough strength to hug each of their children.
A boy with orange hair and a pink-haired girl ran up to Natsu and Lucy. "Mom, Dad! We missed you! Where've you been?"
"Igneel! Layla! It's been a long time since we've seen you! You've grown bigger!" Natsu and Lucy said dotingly, hugging their children.
Erza and Jellal was also doing the same thing to their three daughters, Azura, Cyan and Faye.
The Redfox triplets was showing off to their mom and dad, about their recent achievements and requests they've accomplished.
Igneel seemed to be pondering a question, while he absent-mindedly making the flowers on top of the window sill grow when he suddenly asked, "But where have you guys been all this while? You were missing-in-action for 8 years!" . His expression suddenly changed to that of sadness and sorrow, Igneel choked out, "there was a time when…we thought you were…dead..".
The guild was eerily quiet.
The S-class mages' smiles faltered, their face turning grave.
Erza stepped forward, her voice lowered down to that of a hushed whisper, "We'll come to that matter shortly. But first, we need to find Gray, Juvia and their children."
Faye squealed excitedly, despite the intense atmosphere. She couldn't help it, it's been such a long time since she's seen Acquanetta Fullbuster, her best friend. "They've returned?!"
"As a matter of fact, they haven't," Erza shook her head. "They're still in that water palace-,"
"Poseidon's Castle," Jellal chimed in.
"-but we're gonna get them anyway. They've taken too long."
"Alright! I'm all fired up!," Natsu shouted, especially eager to be able to see his frienemy Gray Fullbuster.
"We're going with you!," Allona folded her arms, gesturing to her two brothers.
"We're leaving tomorrow at dawn, so get as much rest as you can. This is going to be one hell of an adventure."
The next day, at dawn…
"Really Natsu, you should do something with that motion sickness of yours," Lucy clucked her tongue disapprovingly.
"I can't help it alright! I hate my stomach!," Natsu's face began to turn a sickly shade of green.
"Don't barf here Uncle Natsu! Or else mom will chop you up!," Cyan giggled.
"Urgghhhhhhhhhhh," Natsu groaned.
The Redfox triplets was chatting with one another, sometimes throwing a punch here or a kick there, making the chariot rock dangerously side to side.
Layla was showing her mom how she's gotten better at her Fire Dragonslayer magic skills. There was a hint of sadness shown on Lucy's face, as she remembered that none of her kids will ever inherit her celestial keys.
Igneel was making vines and flowers sprout out of the wooden sides of the chariot, much to the annoyance of the Redfox triplets.
Faye was busy reading her book, Azura cleaning her sword, and Cyan was dousing Igneel with thousands of tiny little water droplets.
After what seemed like eternity, they finally arrived at the banks of Lake Shinoba, the entrance to Poseidon's Castle. The younger mages, who have not traveled this far before, looked around, not finding any castle in sight.
"So, where's this Poseidon's Castle anyway?" Jason raised his eyebrows.
As an answer Jellal pointed underneath Lake Shinoba.
"Hold up! You mean we're going under! But I can't swim! And even if I could, I still wouldn't know how to breathe underwater!" Igneel shouted, alarmed.
"Relax, after all, we've got Cyan here," Levy good-naturedly nudged Cyan. "You do know how to allow us to breathe underwater right?"
Cyan beamed at her, "Of course! Everyone gather round me." Cyan closed her eyes and murmured some spells. When she was done, fourteen smooth pearls appeared from thin air. "My special Lost Magic. Swallow these and you'll be able to breathe underwater! Don't worry, they taste to whatever your favorite food is."
Cyan reached out for one of the pearls, and popped it into her mouth.
"Go on then!"
When everyone had swallowed each of their pearls, Erza shouted, " Everyone ready?"
"Yes, ma'am!"
"Alright then, we're going under!" and with that, she changed her Heart Kreuz armour into a swimsuit and plunged into the lake.
"Here goes nothing," Igneel murmured, following Erza.
That rounds up for chapter 2!
I'll see you in chapter 3!
