'Dara when you were still Lucy why did you quit Fairy Tail?'

'Why? Do you know Lisanna Strauss?'

'I have heard of her. She is Natsu's girlfriend right?'

'Yeah. Well when she came back from Edolas the whole guild crowded her and I was happy for them. And I tolerated being ignored for two weeks. I was fine until Natsu Dragneel kicked me out of the team because I was weak.'

'Wow you have been through a lot. How did you meet Acnologia?'

'I went off training in a forest and on the second day I was out running and I literally ran into him. He asked me why I was there and I said to get stronger and then he asked me if I wanted to become the ultimate Dragon Slayer. And I said yes.'

'Wow quite a story you have there. Then you became Dara Heart.'

'Yep. Now we REALLY need to get going. Jellal you are the first person I have told and the last so do not tell anyone Jellal.'

'Okay Dara.'

Dara and Jellal walked up to the others who were waiting for them and Dara beckoned them to get going. Then they set off.

They were half way up the mountain when Dara held out her staff.

'Wait I feel that someone is watching us be careful.'

Everyone looked around trying to see who Dara was talking about but there was no one there.

'Dismissed!'

The watchers were using an invisibility spell and that was quickly gone.

'Who are you?'

The mages looked at Dara and then nodded to each other. They turned around and started to run. But Dara just smiled and teleported in front of them and knocked them to the ground. Jura ran over and picked the two guys up and held them in front of Dara.

'I asked who are you?'

'Followers.'

'Of Zeref?'

'How did you know?'

'Your eyes.'

'HOW?'

'Zeref has given you some power I can see it in your eyes. If you can look, which you cannot, you can see that I have it too.'

'Zeref has given you power too?'

'No. I have his magic as well.'

Jura looked at Dara.

'Is it alright to tell them that?'

'They will go running back to Zeref so they might as well tell him the truth.'

'Oh.'

'You can let them go now. But be warned followers of Zeref if I find you EVER here spying on us again I will kill you.'

The two mages quickly nodded and when Jura let go of them they fell to the ground and then quickly ran off.

'Now that, that's over let's go.'

Dara and the boys walked along a path and then stopped at the mouth of a cave.

'What are we doing here Dara?'

'I don't remember a cave being here and it looks like it has been here forever. I came along this path and then there was a village just here.'

'Heavens Village.'

'You're right Rufus but it is gone.'

'That's because we destroyed it.'

Dara and the boys swung around and saw that there was about fifty dark mages in a semi-circle around them.

'Why? Why would you do that to an innocent village?'

'We heard that you were coming here to get information about Master Zeref and the village knew bits and pieces of the real thing so we just had to destroy them.'

'Damn it!'

Dara put up her staff and tried to make all the dark mages fall down dead but they didn't even sway.

'How?'

'Barriers. We have set them around here so enemies cannot use magic.'

'Dismissed!'

But once again it didn't work.

Dara gave her staff to Jellal and then turned back around.

'Magic raise! 99.5%'

Everyone was surprised by what Dara did but everyone was okay and still standing.

Dara grabbed her staff from Jellal and tried to turn it into a sword but that didn't work.

Dara then sensed something they had been looking for this whole time.

'Zeref. Come out now I have found you.'

Zeref stepped out of the cave and smiled at Dara.

'Dara Heart.'

'Zeref. The creator of my father.'

'Shall we fight?'

'First take down the barrier so I can use my magic. I have heard that you are interested in me. Well that is the same for me too. There can be only one strongest mage in this world.'

'If that is what you wish Dara Heart I will not go easy on you.'

'Good.'
