Let's go quickly to the reading. Rose and Tyler had their own ideas of stopping their mother and didn't wanted to bring any more people into harm. Tyler had frozen Wendy, Charle, Melanie and Leoric mind so that they had enough time to go after Flemeth. Laxus wanted to confess his love for Lucy. After the kiss they were interrupted by Flemeth a mind mage and Zero. And taken as prisoners/subjects for Flemeth wicked ideas.

I apologize for any grammar mistakes and I don't own Fairy tail. I only own the OC's and this self-written story.

Enjoy!

Magic Particles

After a couple hours of walking had the rain finally stopped. Even if the sun was coming through the clouds welcoming everyone to embrace his light. It stayed quiet in the forest. Only the footsteps of a couple wizards in the grass was killing the silence. An abandoned house what had been swallowed by all kind of plants was standing deep in the forest. Unknown by a common stranger that it had some hidden layers that couldn't be seen by the mere eye. Zero, Flemeth and Laxus with Lucy on his shoulder walked into the building until they found a secret staircase that led them towards a labyrinth of doors, labs and corridors. The building was filled with scientists, who bowed their respect when they noticed Flemeth's presence. The wizards kept walking until they found the dungeon under Flemeth's hidden laboratory. They were standing in front of a cell door what was already standing open. Flemeth was sweating, it took more magic to hold the man in her control than she had anticipated. She was breathing heavy and could feel how her strings on the dragon slayer was getting thinner. It felt like she had been fighting a wild beast for a last piece of meat instead of a human being who would just sit in the corner, afraid to go against her powers. And at some weird point was the control slipping more and more how closer they came to her subject's cell. The moment that Laxus was standing in the door opening, was his body emerging a golden glow. Flemeth could feel the magic that was radiating from his body.

'What's happening!' she yelled and she was pushed back towards a wall. She looked in his mind and saw a woman shining like the stars standing in front of her. What was going on? She had seen this only with Celestial mages and that blond guy was clearly not a Celestial mage. Flemeth looked closer and noticed the resembling between the woman and the subject she desperately wanted to have…Lucy. They were the same. She glared at the woman who was trying to push her out.

'You won't lock me away for any sort of reason without my permission,' was echoing in Laxus head.

The mind mage eyes widened. Had there been a contract between those two? Was it even possible to make a contract between humans? Flemeth hadn't had any time to be fascinated. She cursed when she noticed how she was losing control over the blond man and looked at Zero to warn him. The mind control was going off and Zero used his gravity magic to push the two against the wall at the end of their cell where the magic suppressing chains were hanging.

'The Sleeping Mind!' yelled Flemeth.

Laxus hadn't got enough time to notice what was going on before his mind was shut down completely. Flemeth was breathing heavier and sighed in relief. She walked towards the Lightning Dragon Slayer, while Zero was holding the mages in their places against the wall. Flemeth placed the chains on Laxus neck and wrists and felt some relieve that the hardest part had been over. Zero released his magic and Lucy fell on the ground. Flemeth moved towards Lucy and pulled her towards the wall in the opposite direction of Laxus and chained her up as well. She grabbed the Celestial Keys knowing that it wouldn't take long before the spirts had recovered enough to come through their own gates again. Zero was leaning in the door opening, wanted to know what had gone wrong. He waited even if that wasn't his strongest point. He knew the look in his wives eyes and the familiar fingers what went towards her head. Telepathy, something he had learned from his archive magic. It didn't took long before a scientist went past him, walking towards Flemeth. She placed the Celestial keys in the scientist's hands and smirked.

'You know what to do.'

The scientist nodded and walked out of the dungeon.

Flemeth looked at her husband, knowing what he wanted. 'Give me a day for finding out what had just happened. I'm sure I can find the answers in their minds. Specially this one,' said the Mind mage who was pointing towards the Lighting Dragon Slayer. 'He surely has an interesting and dangerous mind. But the most important thing is this girl. You know why I'm interested in her?'

Zero looked at Lucy, remembering how he had easily defeated her with two more of her guild mates more than seven years ago. The annoying part was that one of those guild mates was Natsu. 'Celestial mages are very rare and you have the strongest one of them…' Unbelieve and vomit was visible in his words when he said the strongest.

'True they are rare, but they are also hard to control because of their bond with their spirits. But in comparison with other mages they have the largest magic source. Instead of using a magic source outside the mage its body I want to plant a demonic cube inside of her. She will be the perfect test object and tell me, wouldn't you want to see the faces of those fairies when they will be attacked by their own precious guild mate.'

Zero smirked by that thought. 'I'm always into that as long…'

'As long you get your revenge on that fire dragon slayer, I know. You get your revenge and far more importantly I can give you more power then you already have. You can never have too much power,' said Flemeth with a wicked smile.

Wendy blinked with her eyes and felt how her muscles had gotten stiff. 'What happened?'

Charle kept staring in the distance, where Rose and Tyler had been standing seconds ago. The silence of the wind was interrupted by little sobs that was getting louder and louder.

'W-whaaaaah, M-mommy!' Yelled Melanie with tears in her eyes.

Mr. Chaply and Mrs. Lilly were looking at their master, noticing how Melanie's soul was quavering, trying to find the soul of her mother. The soul she had missed for seven years of her life.

Leoric cursed. 'They are gone…' He looked at his daughter and placed his hand on her head. He gently pushed her against him, trying to comfort her. One second he was finally reunited with his family, next second they were split apart…again.

'Melanie-san?' said Wendy while looking sad. She kept staring knowing the pain the little girl was going through. It was the same pain she had felt when Mystogan she knew as Jellal had disappeared.

'It's incomprehensible why they left,' said Charle with her arms crossed.

'They did it for us,' said Leoric.

Wendy glanced at Leoric, noticing his painful expression.

'In their eyes it is a win win situation. They know…they know that it will be difficult to defeat her. But even if it is the smallest change they want to take it on. Or…'

'Or what?' Asked Wendy curiously.

'Or trying to give us enough time for an escape. To go as far away as we could. Away from the pain, the horror. From...their mother.'

Wendy and Charle were waiting patiently, knowing that Leoric wasn't finished talking. He may be a skeleton, but his expressions were clear like the sun on a sunny day. Leoric looked at his hands. 'The whole demonic core research had all started because of me. This curse, these powers. The power to absorb any kind of magic and to use those powers as my own. My powers started to grow at a very young age. When I was seven years old. Things started to die around me. People…my very own parents were afraid of me. I tried to control it, but whenever I stop eating the energy around me I turn into this.'

He pointed towards his body. 'I was a normal human boy.' Leoric walked towards the edge of the field and stood before a couple lively trees. He looked at his skeleton hands. He saw how the energy was moving from the roots through the tree. The energy that the tree had gathered in over the years. The energy that gave the tree its strength and live. Leoric reached out and saw how the energy was flowing into his hands. The tree lively colors was getting black and thin. Eventually fell the tree down… dead, as if his live was taking away from him. The energy had gathered around Leoric's hand and Wendy and Charle saw how his skeleton's hand was getting a layer of muscles and flesh. In a couple seconds they saw a part of a human hand.

'I had roamed around the forest for a couple years, unconsciously eating the energy around me, while trying to avoid any living creature. I should have died, but my powers were protecting me. Whenever there was danger, whenever I had hungry…I left a trail of destruction. And that's how Flemeth had found me. She stood before me with another boy named Sebastian. She told me that she wanted to help me. I couldn't believe her. I didn't wanted to believe her. I had accepted my way of living, but I was young and I was very lonely. I wanted a family. I asked her how and she pointed towards the boy. The boy had walked towards me. I had yelled that he should stay away, but he kept walking. I could feel how my powers were hungry and unconsciously I sent my powers towards the boy. The boy just smiled with no light in his eyes and he had neutralized my powers. I couldn't believe it, tears of happiness was crawling in my eyes. I wanted to believe right then. I wanted to believe that it was possible to have a family, to have a person who would love me, for who I was. I had chosen to go with them. Hardly did I know that Sebastian had been in Flemeth's control most of his live. From that day became my live a hell.'

Charle looked around her. Her sight became blurry. Like something was trying to call to her. She felt the familiar push, she had learned to feel when one of her premonition would come to her. In all those years she had trained to control her visions, but this one came to her like fate was trying to change things itself.

Charle's eyes widened when her surrounding had changed. The vision was strong. Images of different scenes were running before her eyes without any control. It started with Lucy sitting in a cell screaming in pain while a woman, she recognized as Flemeth was smiling wickedly.

The scene changed, everything went dark. Charle saw now the same wickedly woman was staring in fear before a huge black creature. The air was filling thick, like all the oxygen had left the room. Slight view of hard skin made of the hardest metal became visible when red lighting started to dance in the air.

The scene changed again in something that Charle had hoped to never seen it again. Lucy lying in Laxus arms, while covered in her own blood. Before the scene was fading in blackness could Charle hear a dragon roaring through the wind.

The little white exceed was staring in front of her with fear written all over her face. There was no way she could ignore it anymore. The premonition she had hoped to never come true was now linked to the woman, who Rose and Tyler wanted to defeat.

The odd behavior of Charle hadn't been unnoticed and Wendy knew something wasn't right. 'Charle? What did you saw?' she asked unsure.

'We need to get back to Fairy Tail as fast as we can. Lucy and Laxus are in danger…Flemeth…Flemeth got them,' said the white exceed. Wendy's eyes widened in horror. Great…How are they supposed to get to Magnolia? The Sky Maiden looked up and noticed the change in the wind. Something big was coming their way and a sigh of relief came over him. The ship they had traveled with had come closer towards their location. One of the doors went open and a simple rope was thrown out of the ship. A person who seemed to be the captain of the ship was climbing down from the rope, with a backpack on his back and walked towards the group.

'Master Tyler had asked me to pick you all up, sire,' said the captain.

The group didn't reacted and stood still. Leoric looked at her daughter back at the captain unsure of what to do.

'Master Leoric?' asked captain.

There was a period of silence, before finally Wendy spoke up her mind with determination in her voice. 'Let's fight.'

Wendy walked towards Melanie and gently grabbed the little girl's hand, while looking with all her fighting spirit at Leoric.

'I know it's unfair to ask you this, Leoric-san. But after been controlled by Flemeth for so long. After been locked away for so long. You finally have the freedom to make up your own choices again. What are you going to do? Would you flee, knowing the risk Rose-san and Tyler-san are taking or are you going to fight with them?'

Leoric wanted to laugh at the situation. He a grown-up man was being reasoned by a girl who had feared him seconds ago. He knew his choice. He hadn't just been sleeping in those seven years. He had cursed himself, cursed his powers, and cursed his whole existence. The only wish he had was a normal life with his wife and daughter. That wish could never come true as long as Flemeth was alive. Rose knew his pain. Rose knew what he wanted. What they wanted. She wanted to give Melanie and him a change by taking out the person who had made their lives a hell. They knew a normal live was possible. The families they had seen on their missions. They had a normal life. A life they eagerly wanted. It wasn't a hard question. He had made up his mind ages ago.

'Melanie,' said Leoric while a smile. 'Let's go find your mother.'

Melanie looked up nodded unsure while rubbing away the watery tears.

'And Fairy Tail will help,' said Wendy with a smile.

'Fairy Tail?' asked Leoric.

'My family. You are not standing alone like seven years ago, we will help you.'

Leoric could feel how the warm feeling he had felt in her was getting larger. This family she was talking about was giving her more energy, more new power. He was free again to make his own choices. This warm feeling, this girl. He want to believe again.

'Sir… Tyler had asked me to give you this,' said the captain while giving him a bag. Leoric looked in it and smiled. Just the things he needed. He grabbed the pants and shove his skeleton legs into it. He raised his left hand up while he was holding his pants up with his right hand. Cells, vines, muscles, flesh. His skeleton fracture was getting back the familiar layer of a human body, while a group of trees was getting black and died. It was a strange view to see. In front of them stood now a normal human man with curly half long black hair. The empty sockets what was black like death itself had now light blue eyes. In contrary with Rose, whose body had faltered in those seven years, had Leoric a muscular body with no sign of being prisoned. A normal human body would never survived those seven years without food or water, but Wendy knew that Leoric wasn't a normal human. Like he had told them. His body, his power was protecting him. Sleeping and eating unconsciously. Doing everything in its power to survive.

Leoric pulled Melanie up in his arms and hugged her.

'Let's go to Fairy Tail then,' said Leoric.

Lisanna was annoyed. She was tapping her feet up and down, while drinking her latte macchiato. She had heard everything from Evergreen just like everyone else who was near the bar at that time, when Mirajane was using her tricks to get the truth out. Natsu, obvious had heard it with his dragon slayer hearing, and ran out of the guild with Erza and Gray on his heels. A couple hours later came Gray blasting through the doors yelling that they weren't at Lucy's home. Mira had gotten angry because they had tried to interrupt the possibilities of blond babies with brown eyes. With a long fight and discussion, was the decision made that only a small group would look for them. It was only a couple hours that Laxus had left and people understood that they maybe wanted some private time, but with the dark guild activities, they couldn't be too cautious. Cana had been reading her cards in a corner with a pale face. So that couldn't mean anything good. 'If Lax ever hurt her again…' Lisanna mumbled behind her teeth.

'Hey Lis! Have you seen Freed?' asked Bickslow with his tongue out.

'Freed, Freed!' yelled his wooden totems after him.

They met a deadly glare and stiffened. They flew quickly behind their master to hide. Bickslow flinched back. 'Wow man, who got your tits?'

'Where have you been the whole day?' She asked with her arms crossed. She looked at him from head to toe and noticed the smell of different perfumes and noticed how his clothes were a little bit more wrinkled than normal.

'Urgh, how can you lay around in these kind of times?'

'These kind of times? Have I missed something?'

'Laxus and Lucy are missing.'

'We can't determinate if they are missing,' said Freed while walking from the stairs. 'The facts are that no one have seen them for a couple hours.'

'Aren't you worried?' asked Lisanna angry.

Freed was holding in his emotions but his glare said everything. He was worried, more than some people had realized. Freed had always kept his head clear, but now he had a bad feeling about this whole situation and nothing could support it. He was hoping that Cana could find them, but something was blocking her readings.

Gajeel was standing in his familiar corner of the guild together with Panther Lily. Overlooking and overhearing everything what was happening in the guild. Levy had stayed in the library, looking for more clues about the Sandman. Gajeel considered that the Sandman could wait, but Levy was convinced that if Lucy was in danger, that the Sandman had something to do with it. Mavis stayed in the library, trying to help her in any way possible.

Cana flipped her last card. She looked at the cards and shove with anger all her cards in one sweep off the table. 'Damnit!' Cana yelled. The beer she had ordered a couple hours ago was still untouched and was getting lukewarm. She couldn't pinpoint Lucy or Laxus location and that made her nervous. She knew something was wrong, but something was blocking her powers and she didn't liked it in one bit.

Mirajane wanted to convince herself that Lucy and Laxus wanted some time alone, but after the frustration of a couple guild mates, she also began to worry. She had been drying the same glass over and over again. She was sure she could have broken the glass while rubbing it, if Macao hadn't stopped her.

Everyone in the guild was clearly restless and Gajeel was the first one that noticed they had visitors. The door slammed open and in the opening was standing his previous colleagues, Doranbalt and Sebastian.

Freed looked up, the unsure feeling was getting filled with a mixture of a little bit of hope and fear. A visit from the council was mostly not positive, but they needed to know what was going on. He kept his face straight and walked towards the door.

'Mister Doranbolt, can I help you with something?' asked Freed gently.

Doranbolt nodded. 'I hope you do, I like to speak with Master Laxus.'

There was a couple seconds of a restless silence. Doranbolt looked around him and noticed the tension.

'Did something happened?'

'To be honest, we're not sure. We haven't been able to find Miss Lucy and Master Laxus-sama for some time now.'

'And no tracks?'

Freed shook his head. 'The rain has erased any possible scents or clues.'

Doranbolt understood the tension, but was getting annoyed in the meantime. They needed help right now! What could possibly have happened to them? Was it Tyler? He looked at Sebastian, trying to figure out if he had maybe any clues.

A door flew open on the second floor. Everyone looked up a noticed the pale face of Evergreen. 'Freed! It's Wendy. She says it's urgent….It's about Lucy and Laxus-sama!' Ever yelled. Freed's eyes widened and gave a sign towards Doranbolt and Sebastian to follow him into Laxus office. Everyone in the guild was looking at them, tracking them with their eyes until the group went out of their sight. The tension was getting higher. The pale face of Evergreen couldn't mean anything good.

Lisanna looked at her sister. 'Nee-san? Where are team Natsu and Elfman?' she asked with concern on her face. Mirajane looked from her little sister towards the closed door on the second floor and back towards her sister. 'I will call them.'

Freed stood before the communication lacrima and saw Wendy's face.

'Miss Wendy? It's good to see you are alright. I heard you had some urgent news.'

Wendy nodded. 'It's about Lucy-san and Master. Charle have seen them in one of her visions, they have been captured by Flemeth.'

Doranbalt's and Sebastian's eyes widened. Doranbalt stepped forward and slammed his hands on the office. 'Do you know where they are? Wendy!'

Wendy flinched away. 'Mest?' She shook her head. 'We don't know. Rose-san and Tyler-san have disappeared too. They are after Flemeth as well.'

'What!' screamed Sebastian by the sudden knowledge. He hadn't had any contact with Tyler for a day and this happened. Those fools should know better than to go after their mother.

'Oh? Sebastian is that you?' said another voice next to Wendy.

Sebastian stiffened and sweat began to crawl on his face. He laughed sheepishly. 'Leoric? How are you? I see that Rose had managed to dig you out.'

Leoric laughed. 'She did, she did. How were your seven years? Any luck with the ladies?'

'Is this really a place where you want to…?'

Freed cleared his throat to get everyone's attention. 'I'm sorry for my rudeness. I hope the reunion formalities can wait a little longer. This situation is asking for some different approach. I'm curious, who is this Flemeth? Does someone know who she is?'

Sebastian looked at him serious, trying to get his calmness back. 'I do.'

'And I, unfortunately,' said Leoric.

'With what are we dealing with?'

'With a mind/illusion mage you shouldn't underestimate,' said Sebastian with much venom in his words.

Freed nodded and looked back at the lacrima. 'Wendy where are you now?'

Wendy looked at her left, when another person who seemed to be some captain spoke on the background. Wendy looked back at the lacrima. 'We will be at Crocus in about 10 minutes.'

'Doranbalt, I know you wanted our help with something...,' said Freed while looking at the mage next to him. Doranbalt raised his hand 'We came here to get some help to defeat Flemeth. If Flemeth has kidnaped Lucy and Laxus, then we are already on the same page. I will get Wendy and Leoric. I will be back in a half hour.'

'You heard that, Miss Wendy?'

Wendy nodded. 'We will wait for his arrive.' The lacrima darkened.

Freed saw how the Doranbalt teleported away. He looked at Evergreen, who had been silence in the meantime of the whole conversation. 'Ever, I want you to get some people for me. Wait downstairs until I say it is time. I want to wait for Wendy, to begin the preparations.'

Evergreen nodded. Freed looked at the only person who was left in the office. 'We weren't able to pronounce ourselves. It was Sebastian right? I want you to tell me everything you know about this Mind mage we gonna deal with.'

-0o0-

Flemeth looked at the golden keys in her hands and selectively picked the golden keys she wanted. She looked with a confusion face at one particular key. It was one of the Zodiac keys, but it was broken. Why would the Celestial mage keep a broken key? She couldn't feel anything from the key either and knew how emotional humans could be. She just shook her head and looked further into the keys her subject had. She smiled by the collection and grabbed five keys from the ring. She knew her own limits and cursed she could only select a few. But power is nothing without control. Flemeth placed the five keys outside the magic circle and looked at the mages who were standing around it. Prepare the ritual. Wait for my sign!'

'Yes, Ma'am!' they said on the same time.

Lucy opened her eyes and noticed how everything was still a little blurry. The cold hard ground and the chains around her wrists and neck was triggering every alarm she had in her head. She tried to look around her and noticed the metal bars. On the other side of her cell sat the man who had made her world upside down. A slight flush was visible on her cheeks when she remembered the kiss. She hadn't felt so happy since a long time, but she also felt insurance. They just hadn't had time to breath. One thing came to another. The fight with Creco. The rebuilding of the guild. The weird activities of some dark guilds. Then the whole fight with Tyler and her strange symptoms. Her conversion towards Laxus and the whole pain that came with it. And now….at first they were kissing and the next moment she was fighting for her live. She had seen the pain in Laxus eyes. It wasn't his fault...it was… 'Good. You are awake, little mind.' ….her fault.

The Celestial Mage eye's widened. Flemeth was walking towards Laxus and knelt down.

'Get away from him!' yelled Lucy, while trying with all her power to pull on her chains.

Flemeth ignored it. She noticed the sweat and pain on Laxus face and she felt on his forehead. 'No fever…' Flemeth mumbled softly. She formed in her hand a purple butterfly who flew above Laxus head. The butterfly changed into some magical powder that spread itself on Laxus body.

What did she do? Flemeth looked straight at Lucy's eyes. 'The Sandman is a curious thing isn't it. In fairytales it has been told to be a man who gives little children nice dreams. How I use this lost magic however is more like the Bogeyman. I use my illusion magic to trap my victims in their sleep while gaining control over their mind. Every night that the victim sleeps will this little butterfly grow in their body.'

Flemeth held up her arm and pointed towards Lucy. A purple butterfly was flapping softly her wings up and down at the top of Flemeth's finger. 'A normal mind mage need to enter the person's mind over and over again to gain control, while for me it is just simply like switching an on and off button. The feeling that my subjects are out of my grasp is just an illusion.' Flemeth smiled wickedly. 'Even my children can never escape this beautiful creature.'

'You control your own children?' Asked Lucy in shock.

Flemeth walked towards the Celestial Mage and lifted Lucy's chin up with her finger. 'I even sold them out to the council, when I didn't needed them. They are my tools to be used.'

Lucy was boiling inside. She had been used as a tool by her father for almost all her live. But she had still a free mind. She chose to walk away. She chose for her freedom. This woman had taken even that away from her own children. Why would….?

Flemeth grasped Lucy on her neck under her chain and squished her softly. 'It's not my fault you know, they had so much potential, but they were just too soft, just like my mother.' She placed more strength in her hand and Lucy was gasping for air, while looking at the wicked woman with fire in her eyes. Flemeth wasn't surprised by the look and only smiled more.

'Just…like…you.' She followed up after a long pause.

She released her grip and enjoyed the sound the girl was making. Lucy's longs were burning and every big inhales for air was causing her to cough.

'I would never had noticed you. Even if my little Tyler was interested in you. Even if your mind was interesting. I would have ignored you. There was nothing for me to gain. But you really came into my sight when I recognized you. You were the one who had interfered in my business.'

Lucy looked at Flemeth with confusion.

'You and that fake Dragon Slayer over there had messed up with my Demonic Core. You even absorbed it without thinking about the consequence. And now you have trouble with a magical sickness.'

'Magical sickness?' asked Lucy with a sore throat.

Flemeth sighed. 'Every mage has a potential for using some kind of magic. For you it is Celestial magic, for me it was Mind magic. But stronger mages can control more magic at once. In your mind is your previous master of Fairy Tail a good example. He can grow his body into a specific size, but you have seen him using fire magic, by firing up those council papers at your first day of Fairy Tail.' Flemeth grabbed a chair and placed it in front of Lucy and sat down with her legs crossed, while looking down on her. Giving Lucy the feeling she was nothing in her presence.

'Everywhere around us are little magic particles, we can't see with our naked eyes, that we slowly absorb into our body. The magic particles can you split into classes. Fire particles, ice particles and go one. Whenever we have used too much magic at once. The body will start absorbing specific magic particles around us to recover. It is a slow process in comparison with Dragon Slayers. They can get magic by just simply eating their own element to get the magic particles. Now the interesting part is whenever Dragon Slayers eat a different element, they will get sick right? You have seen that many times with that Fire Dragon Slayer boy. The same have happened now with you. That day you were absorbing directly magic from the Demonic Core, was the day you got magical sickness. You have absorbed magic your body can't use. In comparison with a Dragon Slayer's body who can dispose the unused particles over time, is it a process that the human body just simply can't do. The particles will stay in there.' Flemeth pointed towards her stomach. 'That is a shame isn't it. So much power is around us, but we can't use it as our own. I was a researcher on the Bureau of Magical Development, where I also found my husband. I have tested many subjects, but I could never come close to the unlimited power…Until I tracked down a trail of destruction. Fifteen years ago I found my answer for unlimited power. A boy named Leoric who can absorb all the particles and use it as its own and another boy named Sebastian who can neutralize and control the particles. Two sides of a blade, who could give me the power I wanted. We researched and the outcome was the Demonic Core. And you are going to help me to develop the Demonic Core even further.'

Flemeth right finger went to her own head and gave the mages in the other room the sign to begin the ritual. Lucy's eyes turned into horror. She had a bad feeling about this. And before she could react, was there a magic circle forming under her and a chant was reaching her ears. The pain she was feeling was the worst she had ever felt and screams of pain was escaping her lips.

Flemeth kept looking with a wicked smile on her lips. 'To control a Celestial Mage, you need to control their spirits. To control their spirits, you need to change their contract.'

She stood up and placed the chair on his usual spot and noticed red lightning sparking under Laxus chains. Flemeth cursed behind her teeth. 'He is responding even in his sleep. Why though? What is it that you two have, that others don't? Why are you two coming in each other's dreams? Is it the contract between you two or is it something else?'

Everything has been set into motion… I'm guessing one more chapter before the main fight will break loose. And then I'm guessing around two more chapters for the fight.

I wanted to make the chapter longer because I haven't updated in a while. But this was a good part to stop the chapter. I was abducted by my boyfriend to enjoy my vacation. So I did. I also enjoyed the Olympics and Paralympics. I hope you guys also have enjoyed. In the meantime I tried to write, but it was still hard. I broke again some blocks. So here is finally a chapter. I'm going to laugh if the fighting scenes are going to flow out of my hand, when the talking and making the story round (if you know what I mean) is taking me more than a month. _' I also still need to change that one chapter with the fish and Natsu. I'm still not pleased with that….oh dear.
