They looked at the cloaked figure and then looked down at the one that Jura had in his hands. Then the cloaked figure dropped and the one in Jura's hands turned into mist.

The boys realised what happened and ran up to the cloaked figure who was lying on the ground. Jellal picked her up before anyone else could and looked down at her. At first she looked alright but then they all started to smell blood and lots of it.

'DARA!'

Jellal ripped off her cloak and saw what happened. Which terrified him.

All over her body was covered in her blood. There was little and big wounds all over her and she had a very weak pulse. Jellal looked at the others praying that one of them knew what to do with their fallen Dara.

'Let's take her to a hotel so she can rest and stay the night' suggested Jura.

'Right.'

With Jellal in front the boys walked to a hotel that wasn't too big and expensive but it wasn't tiny and they all had a room for themselves.

Jellal walked into a room and placed Dara down on a bed. The boys surrounded her and stared down at her worriedly.

'What happened to her?'

'She fought Zeref Rufus.'

Rufus stared at Rogue who had answered him and then looked back down at Dara.

'What should we do?'

'Does she have a spirit which can heal her?'

Jellal thought for a minute and the jumped up. He grabbed her staff and shook it. Apollo came out of the staff and straight away looked at his master.

'Dara! What happened to her?'

'She fought Zeref.'

Apollo put his hand over Dara and she straight away healed and was back to normal. They all sighed out in relief and Apollo went back into the celestial world.

~Time skip 1 hour~

Dara hazily woke up out of her slumber and looked around.

'Jura.'

Jura dimly heard Dara's voice and quickly walked into her room. He was resting in the room opposite waiting for her to wake up.

'Are you alright Dara?'

'I hurt.'

Jura blushed at the cute way Dara had Said that to him and turned around so she didn't see it.

'Where do you hurt Dara?'

'Everywhere. Can you pass me my staff Jura?'

Jura looked around for it but it was nowhere to be seen. So he looked warily back to Dara.

'It is not here Dara.'

Dara was silent for a minute and then sat straight up.

'CRAP! I remember now Zeref broke it. I can never get it back.'

Jura was shocked but then was confused didn't they just see her with it?

'But Dara didn't you have it when we saw you?'

'That was just an illusion so you would know who I was. But I tried to block a powerful spell from Zeref and it shattered.'

'Wait so the Dara that came back to us was an illusion as well?'

'Yep so you wouldn't come and find me while I was in the middle of the fight.'

'Did you win the fight?'

Dara was silent for a minute and then smiled at Jura.

'Just. I nearly died along with him.'

'I am glad you didn't though Dara I would have died.'

'Where are the others?'

'They are resting they have been worrying for your safety for a while now. I doubt they are sleeping though most of them are just laying on their beds.'

'Where are we?'

'At the village where we found you.'

'Oh okay we should get going soon.'

'Where?'

'I have to go back to the Dragon Realm.'

'HUH?'

'Why?'

'I have to become the Dragon Princess remember? Anyway I have to get a new staff.'

'What about us? What will we do once you are gone?'

You and Jellal? Well you will be finally free from me. Isn't that great?'

'NO! IT ISN'T DARA!'

The boys in the other rooms heard Jura yelling at Dara and went running into her room to see what was going on. Jellal came in and stepped in front of Dara.

'What is going on Jura? Why are you yelling at Dara?'

'She said she was leaving us!'

The boys were shocked and they all stared at her.

'Is that true Dara?'

'I'm sorry Jellal it is. I have to leave to become the Dragon Princess.'

'Why?'

'That was the promise between the Queen and I. After I have finished my mission I have to go back. I have finished so I am now leaving for good.'

'Is this what you want Dara?'

'It was orders it doesn't matter what I want.'

They all looked at Dara sadly.

'In my memory no one has left the earthland to become the Dragon Princess before.'

'That is because they live for thousands of years.'

Rogue looked down at Dara and then closed his eyes.

'Dara you do know that if you live for that long you will see all of us get older and eventually die.'
