Author's note:

I don't own Fairy Tail or its original characters Hiro Mashima does.

Any feedback would be appreciated.


Deliora:

Alec finds himself laying down in a white void, "Amek, wake up." A woman's voice calls out. "Who's there?" Alec struggles to call out as if something is preventing him from moving a muscle. "Amek, open your eyes." The voice says again. Alec all of a sudden jolts upright and sees a blue dragon with feathered wings fading to white. They are both sitting in a plain of flowers surrounded by trees.

Alec quickly realized he's in his dragon form being completely white with his white wings fading to black at the bottom and the scales on his spine are black too. He looks back to see a familiar blue dragon "Amania… is that you?" Alec stutters in disbelief, the dragon smiles "Of course it's me Amek, who else would I be silly."

Alec reaches out his hand to touch her. "What's wrong? Are you still somewhat asleep? You look like you've seen a ghost of a loved one." Amania laughed, Alec stares at the dragon with tears, "I found you..."

"You must still be asleep if you think I'm here." Amania says, Alec takes a good look around and realizes he's in Magnolia Forest but it's more rich and vibrant than a few days ago. He realizes this is what it looked like in the past.

"This isn't real is it? I used too much magic on a simple time spell and passed out didn't I. In fact I'm still on Galuna aren't I?" Alec asks Amania. Amania smiles and nods, "You're right, it's time for you to return to reality my love. I'm glad we got to see each other again even if it was a dream."

Alec reaches out to grab her but he's pulled back from a strange force. "Amania! I promise I'll find you in our next life!" Alec cries out, he then opens his eyes, finding a few tears streaming from his face.

"Hey Alec you okay?" Happy asks, worried about the dragon. "Yeah I'm fine." Alec quickly wipes the tears from his eyes and stands up. "Where are the others?" Alec asks the blue cat.

"You were out of it and were mumbling stuff, none of us could really understand what you were saying. So Lucy suggested we wait till you come to but Natsu was already leaving to explore this cave. Grey went after him and so did Lucy but I was told to stay behind and wait till you woke up." Happy explains.

"I see… well based on the smell my guess is it wasn't long since they left." Alec concludes, Happy nods in response. "Alright let's go catch up to those idiots Happy."

"Aye sir!"

Alec is running through the cave following the three wizards' scent with Happy flying not far behind him. As they got closer to a large opening they both heard Grey yelling in a panic. Alec quickly picks up the pace thinking Grey is in trouble but as he sees the group now in view, but he also sees a demon frozen in ice in front of them.

"Is everyone alright!?" Alec calls out as he starts slowing down his pace and then walks besides Grey who's clenching his fists turning his knuckles white.

"Grey you okay?" Alec asks again putting his hand on Grey's shoulder. "No I'm not Alec, someone brought this horrible demon here! I don't even know why or how it's here!" Grey shouts, Alec turns to look at the demon in ice.

"It appears Deliora has seen better days." Alec comments. "Better days Alec! Deliora destroyed my village, killed my parents, and my master sacrificed herself to seal it away in ice! Yet the first thing you say is that it's seen better days!" Grey yells in anger.

"Grey I'm sure Alec didn't know and if he did-" Lucy gets cut off by Alec putting his hand up to silence her. Alec then crosses his arms and sighs, "Sorry if that came out as insensitive Grey. You know I say my thoughts out loud from time to time." Grey remains silent.

"Listen I don't exactly know what it's like to lose everything you care about but it sounds terrible. But right now we are on a job. You need to push your feelings aside right now, can you do that?" Alec asks, Grey releases his clenched fists and takes a breath.

"Yeah I'll try." Grey responds, Natsu and Alec then hear footsteps coming from another entrance. They both grab Grey and Lucy, and hide behind a boulder nearby.

"The voices seem to be coming down here, and it just had to be in the morning. I hate being awake during the day… so Toby, were you exposed to the Moon Drip you got those pointy ears." The man with blue hair teases. The dog man quickly snaps back, "I already told you they're a fashion statement you jerk!"

"Lighten up I was just teasing you." The blue haired man says. "You don't need to be so mean about it." Toby solemnly replied. "Moon Drip… could that be the name of the curse?" Lucy questions, "No, Moon Drip is an belianese spell that can deactivate any spell, utilizing the moon's light and turning it into magic power concentrating it into one spot. It's usually done with multiple people to activate it because if done alone one could face magic deficiency." Alec explains, a pink pigtailed haired woman then arrives and says "Yuka, Toby something terrible has happened."

"What is it?" Yuka questions, "it's Angelica, she keeps pacing the entrance of the temple and won't calm down."

"You're worried about your stupid rat right now!" Toby shouts, "She isn't stupid she is Love." The pink haired girl says.

"Enough it appears nobody's down here so let's keep looking further down then we'll report back to the Cold Emperor." Yuka states, the trio then go down to a different part of the cave.

"We should wait here till nightfall. That way we can see why this demon is here and what there planning to do with the Moon Drip but I have a hunch that its all connected somehow. Grey you said your Master risked their life to seal Deliora away in this ice, what spell did they use? That might give me a clue." Alec says but Grey remains silent.

"You don't need to say anything now we have all day. But the sooner you tell me the better things will fall into place." Alec states.

The group then decides to get comfy at least as much as they can and wait. Grey is constantly staring at the frozen Deliora in silence while Alec used his magic to create a deck of cards so the rest can play card games in the meantime.

"Oh come on Alec you're cheating aren't you!" Natsu boldly accuses, "Aye you cheated, you used your magic when we weren't paying attention didn't you!" Happy adds.

"I did no such thing, especially when there's someone new learning." Alec counters, Natsu catches Alec's slip of the tongue and says, "So you do cheat in cards!".

"Only when money is involved Natsu or if Makarov's playing." Alec corrects.

"Hey guys, Grey is down in the dumps over there alone and I'm tired of card games. Oh I know Why not have one of my spirits play a song." Lucy offers, Natsu looks at Alec and Alec nods. Lucy smiles brightly as she takes out a silver key and says 'Open gate of the Harp Constellation Lyra'.

"It's been forever since you summoned me Lucy. How have you been?" Lyra asks, grabbing Lucy's hands.

"It has, but it's not my fault you're only available 3 days a month." Lyra lets go of Lucy's hands and sweat drops scratching her face.

"Anyway Lyra we were wondering if you could play a song for us on your harp." Lucy says, Lyra puts her harp into her lap then says, "Do you have any requests?"

"Not really, just play anything you want." Lucy bluntly says, "Can you sing a song about fish?" Happy requests, "Please ignore him." Alec adds.

"Okay I think you're really gonna like this one." Lyra then starts to play a sweet melody followed by singing.

Somewhere on the water pirates are making there way to Galuna island. "Captain, we should be arriving sometime tomorrow." The pirate says to the red headed wizard.

"Good, however if you get me there sooner I'll give you double what I already gave you." Erza states, the pirate's eyes change into dollar signs before saying, "You heard the lady get this ship a movin!"

Back with the group on Galuna island, Lyra has just finished her song and the sound of crying can be heard from everyone most happy. But as everyone stops crying they hear Grey still crying. "Oh no Grey I'm sorry, Lyra's songs sometimes play with what one's heart is feeling." Lucy states, Grey collects his composure. "It's fine Lucy. Alec, you wanted to know what spell my master used to seal Deliora."

Alec nods in response, "Ur used a spell called 'Ice Shell' she did it to protect me from Deliora." Grey explains, Alec ponders for a moment before speaking. "So she used the unbreakable ice spell where it uses the casters body to seal its target in ice forever. Slowly draining the target's life force till it's completely dead. I'd 've liked to meet your master when she was still human. I do know one thing without meeting her though Grey, and that's if she saw you now I'm pretty sure she would be proud of who you've become in her absence." Alec says.

"You really think so?" Grey questioned, Alec nods with a smile.

"If you don't believe me, think back to your times together. Was there ever a time she didn't look or say she was proud." Alec asks, Grey looks down his hair covering his eyes and starts wiping his face of tears.

"Thanks Al, you're right she never once seemed disappointed, in fact she always encouraged and supported me." Grey looks up and smiles. "Alright if I counted right then night should be upon us in 4 hours. Let's get as much rest as we can till then. We need to find out who these people are and why they want to destroy Ur's Legacy." Alec states and Grey smiles as everyone nods.

"Alright now I've got a fire in my belly!"


I won't be able to post anything next week so I hope this will make up for it.
