Private/Closed Tales of Ender Eye (Fairy Tail RP)

[SS-I Never]

Ara's face was practically red when Orion decided to take of his boxers for the dare, and it didn't help that Perona was teasing her about it either. Though, her blush quickly went away when the bottle landed on her and Perona dared her to drink "The Special."

Ara, with a smirk, quickly grabbed the beverage, and said, "You're on!" In a matter of seconds, Ara had chugged the entire bottle.

But something was off. After Ara drank the entire bottle, she just sat there motionless. Cat tried waving her hand in front of the mage and called her name, but she didn't give any response. Until, suddenly, Ara fell face first unto the floor.

"Ara!" Cat exclaimed as she tried to carry the ice-mage from the floor, but Ara then started giggling which turned into a full burst of laughter, which confused Cat.

"I've never felt so... GREAT!!" Ara exclaimed, when all of her clothes except her underwesr suddenly disappeared, blush clear as ever on her face. "Thanks so much Perona!" Ara exclaimed, a bit slurred, but it wasn't hard for anyone to misunderstand her.

She then crept up towards Orion, and put herself against him. "This is what you wanted, right?~" Ara whispered into Orion's ear, as she carressed his chest. "Anyone willing to give up on this game and play something more....risque~?" Ara had become what most (Viper and Barry) feared would be the outcome.

 

[Godjacob]

"Um, no problem. Though I was the one who dared you...not Perona." Elaine said as she saw the drink take an immediate effect as Ara became drunk and immediately went to pounce on Orion.

Elaine went over to nudge Cat and had a sly grin. "Seems like Orion could use some help getting Ara off him." Elaine said with a knowing wink as she saw this as a chance for Cat to get close to Ara and urged her to take it without directly saying it.

---------
Viper groaned as he saw Ara become drunk with one drink, which made Viper question what the hell that drink was given Ara was likely the strongest drinker in the guild.

Though that thought faded as Viper spat out his drink, right in Barry's direction, as he felt a spicy heat cause his tongue to become a little inflamed as he cursed and began to fan it with his hand.

W-what the hell was that!?

 

[jade421]

"Woo! You get hiwm Ara, s-show him whose the mawn...w-woman, I meant womawn!" Perona cheered on, as she nearly tipped over herself and stumbled over to where Fallon was. She had not even noticed the fact Ara credited her with the dare as she glanced at Fallon with a stupid smile on her face.

"H-hey F-fallown...y-your b-bowyfriend seems to be busy." Perona said, teasing even in her drunken state.

 

[Crimson Sun]

Orion hummed to Ara's request. "Nah," Orion bluntly said, unaware of what Ara was saying. "Dare or Truth is getting pretty lit right now." Orion chugged down another bottle of alcohol. "Wooo!" The Celestial Mage exclaimed jumping up and down for a bit. Surprising Fallon hadn't fallen off of Orion yet from all that active movement. "C'mon Fullbuster," Orion exclaimed to the water and ice manipulator. "It's your turn now isn't it." Orion's drunk was wearing off slowly, his speech getting better as the game goes on. However, his mind was going to be hazy for quite a long time.

Meanwhile, Fallon had finally lost the drunk game and had fallen asleep drunk, leaning against the Celestial Mage. His hands clung onto the mage unconsciously as he dozed off, losing against Perona and her alcohol intolerance.
-----------------
"Oh that's easy," Sabrina said casually. Honestly, she didn't need Serebus for this, but it was fun to bring a friend along anyways. "Doll-Play: Puppetteer!" From the flour bags in the corner, a small army of flour soldiers formed a climber atop the pillars to get to the ceiling. While the were doing that, while being subtle to hide from the guests, Sabrina turned to Serebus. "Now we just need water," The Doll-Play Mage said. "IF you can, get Ara to drench everyone in water. Be subtle about it."

 

[Rhabby]

Brendan store in shock as he watched the game his guildmates were playing, being drunk, Brendan shoved the table he was sitting at forward and stood up, "I want to play!" The mage shouted before quickly joining their circle. It appeared to be Ara's turn so Brendan kept quiet and awaited for whatever she was going to do.
--------------
In a distant land, far from Opium a man, Azir, traveled across a large, barren desert. Ever since the battle against Ender Eye, the sand mage had only two goals: find Frea and obtain power. With every day, his hatred of Ender Eye grew. In his mind, they had torn apart his only family, corrupted Sabrina and Fabin, and did who knows what to Frea.

Azir stopped for a moment and examined his surroundings before taking out a small map and glancing at it before putting it back away. "Almost there..." Azir muttered before continuing his trec across the desert.

 

[Godjacob]

Serebus gave a nod to Sabrina, as the plan seemed simple enough. The execution however was the important part, as whether she could convince a drunk Ara to do that remained to be seen.

Still, she made her way over to her as the considered the best way to approach this. When she overhears Ara trying to have some "fun" in a way Serebus had no way to pick up the older context on, she figured this was as good as anything as she leaned in to whisper to Ara's ear.

"Say, I was wondering if you can use your magic like a water gun? I think it would be cool to see, and if you splash the guys around here well...I think it would add to the fun atmosphere." Serebus whispered in request, acting innocent as she played into Ara's newfound fun-loving drunk side as well as the mutual big-sister like relationship to show something to Serebus.

-----------
"Young lady, I don't know this individual personally but I do believe I saw someone who similarly matched his description head to the desert. That is all I know."

Frea had been around a small village in the distant land away from Opium, as she asked around for her comrade in Azir. Based on Fabian's parting words, Frea had a general sense of where to begin looking as she was informed he was looking for her likewise. Frea had had little luck so far, but she managed to get a possible lead from a local merchant as she informed him of someone who journeyed into the desert that looked like what she described Azir as.

As she gazed at the open desert, her eyes squinted and she felt her resolve grow. With the purchase of some water and canteens she used her Gravity magic to levitate herself as she began to glide across the desert; her eyes trained for her Sand magic friend.

I will find you Azir, that's a promise...

 

[SS-I Never]

Ara pouted when Orion rejected her. Serebus then came up to her and asked if she could show her Ara's water magic. Her pout quickly became a smirk when it seemed as if though she came up with something.

"Okay, Serebus, you just gave me the right idea~," Ara said as she stared down Orion. With a snap of her fingers, rain clouds then appeared above everyone playing Truth or Dare and it started pouring all over them.

Ara then chuckled devilishly, though seductively at the same time, and told everyone who got soaked, "Oopsies! I didn't mean to go overboard everybody, but~..." Ara then looked at Orion and said, "You all have to take off your clothes or else you'll get sick," though she said it as if though she was suggesting it towards everybody.

By proxy, though to Ara's rain clouds, Cat was one of those to get soaked. Cat was red as could be when Ara suggested they take of their clothes. Wad that even allowed!? Wouldn't they be kicked out of the restaurant if they did so!? Cat really didn't know what to do, but decided to do what Ara said and stripped down into her underwear by pressuring herself into doing so.

Cat could've easily gotten herself dry by using her Purple Flare magic, but seeing Ara's state, Cat thought this would be the best shot she had to get closer to Ara.

 

[jade421]

"Woo! Y-yeah I win. S-suck it F-faallll.....zzzzz...."

Perona's celebration of her "victory" had been short lived, as with one more shot of her drink she passed out right after Fallon. As she flopped on her back, water sprinkled down on her shirt from Ara's shower though she had no way to hear the ice & water mage's drunken call to strip.

Though she had a dumb grin on her face as she slept all the same.

 

[Godjacob]

Naturally, as soon as Ara had began to spray water around Serebus jumped back and moved out of range. Serebus wanted to avoid putting herself at risk of Sabrina's prank, as she flashed a subtle thumbs up sign to the Puppet mage to let her know they were wet.

....before Ara removed her clothing, and encouraged others to do the same. Which caused Serebus to blush. W-was this how Ara acted when she was drunk? Had she caused Ara to think that idea through?

Elaine and Eliza had their own blushes in response, even as their bodies were soaked, as Elaine shook her head and offered a shrug as she saw Cat being to undress as she turned to Eliza.

"Well, you heard Ara." Elaine said as Eliza's blush grew.

"Y-you can't be serious about this!" Eliza said, as Viper observed and at the mention of Ara's suggestion his own blush had grown darker. The pain of the spicy drink a distant memory...for now.

 

[Crimson Sun]

"You're right," Orion mumbled in agreement to Ara's statement. "Wanna stay healthy for any upcoming parties!" Immediately, Orion began began stripping his attire, soon enough leaving the latter only in his boxers.

Meanwhile Sabrina had the flour overhead, ready to be bombed whenever. She watched as the latter convinced Ara to make the restaurant rain within, making everyone in the building wet. She mentally applauded the latter on her contributions with this elaborate, but feigning innocent prank. The moment everyone was drenched wet, Sabrina waited to see everyone's reaction with an amused smile on her face. Then, with a snap of her fingers, all the flours dropped overhead to the drenched mages.

Orion, just took off his boxers, exposing himself to the breeze of the fresh air. "That's much better," Orion said. His body was still wet, though it's much better than having wet clothes on. "Now how about we-" The mage was turning around to expose himself to the group, but was cut off with a huge dump of flour on him along with everyone else. He got the blunt of it though. The flour clung onto Orion like molasses. It covered every exposed part of the body, making the latter messy, but pure again, practically only leaving opening s for him to breathe.

"Would you look at that," Orion said, clearly unfazed by the flour. But more so found humor in the situation he was in. "I'll be here for a while." Orion drunkenly giggled. His foot was practically plastered to the floorboard.

Sabrina laughed aloud at the situation, unable to contain her innocent laughter. Sabrina latched herself around Serebus. "Good job out there," Sabrina praised the latter. "You make a good prankster!" Sabrina is only surprised at how the group hasn't been kicked out the restaurant yet.

 

[jade421]

"S-SIR they are getting too crazy! Please have some decency!" One of the female waitresses said, as she and other workers moved to the stripping and newly flour soaked mages who seemed to have gotten too drunk for their own good.

Mr. Andrews could only watch, an amused grin and a shake of the head. Seems you chose quite the bunch to befriend Savannah. I'm can see how you have so many stories to tell....

~~~The Next Day~~~
​

After the drunk members had been escorted back to the Guild Hall by Mr. Andrews staff once their "celebration" ended, Perona herself sat on a lone table. Her eyes unfocused as she seemed visible in pain and discomfort. A puke bucket right beside her as it appeared she had been suffering hard from a severely bad hangover from the party at the Gourmet Kingdom.

Oh god....h-how did I get convinced into doing this to myself?

 

[Grand Master Koop]

Suddenly, a tall figure kicked through the door to the gourmet. Standing at the doorway, Master Ed stared into the restaurant, looking at the hungover guildmates inside. Excitement pouring from his eyes. "Everyone back to the guild right away, its that time of year for that very special event! I'm sure those of you who knows what I'm talking about are looking forward to it too." He shouted, voice full of excitement before quickly exiting the building before anyone could ask any questions.

 

[Godjacob]

"Ug....that party was a mistake."

"Oh you had fun and you know it."

"Yeah....but being covered in flour is not what I had in mind."

"Just adds to the unpredictable excitement!"
​

Eliza and Elaine emerged from the Guild bathroom, as both seemed to be recovering from drunken headaches. Though both seemed to fare better than poor Perona on the table. Viper himself had been on another table was he tried to shake away certain...images of that Truth and Dare game before the three heard the Master's request.

Which immediately caused Eliza's mood to lighten as she had an eager grin, while Viper looked on with an eyebrow raised as they made their way to where the Guild Master asked them to meet him.

"So, you know what is going on?" Viper asked as he had been a relative newcomer to the Guild, Eliza seemed more interested in keeping quit but replied simply as followed.

"Oh, it's something quite special if my gut is anything to go by. Just wait an see..."

 

[SS-I Never]

Last night was one to talk about....if most of the mages could even remember what they did. Ara being one of those mages.

Ara had woken up with a major headache, and looked around to see where she was at. She was surprised to see herself in the guild hall, but then remembered a bit of last night and how she drank an entire bottle of something that Elaine had offered her. What the hell did she drink? She can't remember anything about last night whatsoever.

Ara had been in her underwear, and quickly covered herself up out of embarrassment. She hoped she didn't do anything too wild, as drunk Ara has no self-control to speak of.

Cat, being one of the only ones not to drink, had been blushing in the corner of the guild hall by herself. Something happened last night, and it's something that she will not speak of. It was better that way she thought, however.

Ara then overheard Master Ed, and he seemed pretty excited. What event was he speaking of? Guess there's only one way to find out, so Ara waited for Master Ed to explain what he was talking about.

 

[Rhabby]

Brendan grunted and rubbed his eyes as the sounds of guildmates’ moans and groans filled his ear. From what Brendan could understand, the party at The Gourmet Kingdom has gone a bit over board and they were sent back to the guild hall sometime in the night, though he couldn’t remember anything else. The mage shrugged this off and just assumed he had done nothing too bad.

The now S-Class mage quickly turned his attention to Master Ed who began shouting about something exciting, so he decided to listen.

 

[Godjacob]

Cyrus and Jeanne, who by some miracle had managed to keep themselves controlled during the chaotic party the night before, emerged as they saw the hangover recovery of the other members in said guild. Appeared Perona, Ara and Cat had suffered the worst of it but their focus shifted from that to the words of Master Ed.

Special event? Being more seasoned members, both had a guess as to what this could be, but decided to wait to see if Master Ed would confirm their suspicions as they listened for what the Guild Master would have to say.

 

[Crimson Sun]

Orion woke up with a massive headache. A loud groan ripped from his mouth as he stretched and yawned loudly. From what he could see, lots of the members were knocked out until Master Ed woke them all up for some sort of special event. The Celestial Spirit racked his brain to try to remember what had happened yesterday. What only remembered up to hanging with Cat and Ara after their disappointing defeat in the S-Class promotions. Orion patted down his body. Clothes? Check. Keys? Check? Hair? A hot mess, but yes. Doesn't look like anything got too out of hand from what he can tell currently.

Meanwhile, Sabrina just woke up from a really nice good night sleep from yesterdays scenario. Eventually, the guild got kicked out. But she is still fresh up and ready while majority of the guild members are still groggy on last nights events. Just in time though, the latter came in to hear about Master Ed's special announcement.

 

[jade421]

"Alright, managed to survive the night chill camping outside. Seems I haven't lost that touch yet even with my time in Ender Eye."
​

Savannah emerged from her Sand-Make desert tent that she had camped out on, thankful for her experience to have made the preparations needed to combat the drastic temperature shift from hot to rapidly freezing when day became night in the desert. As she generated a number of warmth items to help her combat the chill as she removed her Sand-Make double layered jacket before she stretched as she dissolved her Sand-Make tent and moved back to her desert sled.

With that hurdle cleared, Savannah resumed focus. Her destination drew closer as she turned on her Sand-Make fan and propelled her sled across the desert...soon, she'd be meeting up with some old faces and she was determined to reach them before day's end.

 

[Godjacob]

Serebus had emerged from her room, and much like Sabrina and very much not like the bulk of the Guild she had gotten a restful night's sleep. Serebus had quite the fun time, and doing those pranks with Sabrina had been more fun than she could ever have expected.

Still, her attention shifted to the Guild Master who seemed to have a major announcement over something that seemed pretty big. Serebus had no idea what the Master had in mind, which only caused her intrigue to grow as she quickly shuffled over by Sabrina and had hear ears perked as she wanted to hear what he'd say.

----------
Frea groaned as she emerged from the cave she happened to find in the desert, as she stretched her sore limbs. Naturally, camping in the desert had been rather uncomfortable as she needed to use her Gravity Magic to make some layers of protection from the heat of the day and more alarmingly the chill of the night.

Irregardless, Frea had managed to endure the first night, as she began to levitate in place before she once more resumed her glide across the desert. If she could find Azir, all of this would have been worth it. Frea repeated that mantra as she continued her search or her former Brother's Grim ally.

----------
Fredrick, who had refrained from any drinking, had no issues waking up as he returned to the Guild Hall from the clock-tower he had made his personal home when he heard the Guild Master as he seemed to have a big announcement for everyone. Fredrick had no idea what he had in mind, as hes till had been working on the cues of Mage life within a Guild and social interaction in general.

But that did not mean he was any less intrigued.

Huh, something special in mind? Curious what is considered special among literal mages. Should be interesting all the same...

 

[jade421]

Perona groaned, as she still had been trying to recover from her hangover with limited success, but she still tried to keep her ears out for what Master Ed had to say. Given the tone he used, and going off Perona's well foggy memories due to the alcohol, Perona had a guess for what the announcement related to.

So, weakly, she tilted her head up and placed an ice pack on it as she tried to make out the words Master Ed had been about to say with as much clarify as she could decipher.

 

[SS-I Never]

Master Ed smirked as he noticed the anticipation in everyone's eyes, or that could've just been the look of everyone in pain from their massive hangovers, but Master Ed didn't care as he was finally ready to make his announcement to the entire guild.

"The Grand Magic Games are only a month away!!!" Master Ed exclaimed excitedly, "The grand festival in which magic guilds from around the country gather around and challenge to take the spot of the strongest guild in Fiore! I have already chosen mges from Ender Eye to represent our guild!"

Master Ed then averted his attention to the mages he had chosen and shouted their names. "Ara, Barry, Brendan, Eliza, and Orion! I have chosen all of you to represent this guild! Don't let us down! I need all of you to prepare yourselves for this occassion, because this year we are going to be known as the strongest guild in all of Fiore!"

"I shall take my leave for now," Master Ed said as he was done with his announcement, "You all have a wonderful day, and be sure not to slack off in your journey as a wizard." Master Ed then entered his office.

Ara looked at the spot Master Ed was at in shock. She couldn't believe it. She had been chosen by Master Ed to compete in the games, but why? Surely there are other mages in Ender Eye who would have been a much better choice than her, like Viper or Flynn, but Ara wouldn't linger on it much longer. She would do her best to train for the games, and for Savannah's sake when she returns.

Wait a minute...SAVANNAH!? That's right! I never told anyone Savannah had left on her journey!

Ara was in full panic as she had totally forgot to tell everyone because of the party last night, but how would Ara be able to tell everyone without it seemingly coming out of nowhere? But then Ara looked at the spot Master Ed was on, and came up with an idea.

She made her way towards the spot Master Ed was at, and exclaimed, "And, one more announcement! It seems that our beloved guildmate, Savannah, has decided to go on a self-journey and will not come back to the guild for a while. But, this doesn't mean she has disbanded from the guild! She will come back after her journey is over! So let's make sure to make her proud and win the Grand Magic Games! That is all!" Ara then quickly got out of the spot, and was shaken. She hoped her announcement didn't seem like it came out of nowhere.

 

[Godjacob]

Eliza overheard the announcement from the Master, and had been mildly surprised that she was selected to represent Ender Eye for the Grand Magic Games. Once that wore off, her expression became more focused. More determined, Master Ed trusted her among the other selections to represent Ender Eye in an event the scale of the Grand Magic Games. And she had not been prepared to let the guild down!

Serebus herself...had a different thought. Natural confusion about what these "Grand Magic Games" were aside, she had to question the selection. Nothing against Barry or Orion but why had Viper not been picked? Viper proved he was right up there with Brendan and she seemed confused more than anything of why a clearly powerful mage was sitting on the sidelines for something that seemed quite significant.

Viper himself saw it differently. Even in his most jaded, the Grand Magic Games were the one time of year he could relax a bit and watch the best rising mages in all the guilds show their stuff before all of Fiore. Viper cared little he wasn't pick, as he felt the five who had been selected represented the spirit of Ender Eye better than he ever could.

Elaine was naturally supportive of Eliza, cheering on her friend as she patted her back. Cyrus and Jeanne glanced over to all the selections, curious of their reactions while Fredrick seemed to be confused about what the "games" were in general. Much like Serebus.

 

[Rhabby]

Brendan's blank, dazed expression quickly reformed into a smirk as Master Ed gave the news about the Grand Magic Games and the representatives before disappearing. Though he was surprised that he was chosen, these feelings were overshadowed by excitement. Not only would he be able to battle against other mages while representing his guild, he would also most likely be able to see his old family, the one he left behind in Fairy Tail. The thought of meeting them after this long did make him feel a bit nervous. Would he be able to face them? Would they be happy to see him? Do they still care?

Brendan shook his head and pushed those thoughts out of his head before raising his fist in the air, "Ara's right! Let's make Savannah and all of Opium proud and prove that we're the strongest guild in Fiore!" Brendan cheered.
---------------------------
Azir clenched his fist, causing his small sand hut to collapse. The now nomadic mage glanced down toward his map and continued his journey through the desert.

About mid day, Azir sensed it, he could almost feel the disruption in the usually calm sand he had grown so accustomed to. Someone or something was approaching him very quickly. The Sand Mage glanced behind him to see somebody traveling by levitation in the distance.
Azir took a deep breath and readied the sand for a spell just in case this person planned on attacking him. Ever since he was placed on the Council's "wanted" list, he could never be too careful.

 

[jade421]

Perona managed to hear the Master as he made his big announcement; the participants for this year's Grand Magic Gams! Even in her hungover state Perona's eyes shot open as it almost made her headache vanish as she knew how major this was.

The Grand Magic Games. The showcase of all of Fiore's strongest guilds was upon them, and Ender Eye had made its selections for the games as Perona thought about each choice. They seemed like reasonable selections, though they'd have to be at their best as the rest of Fiore's elite guilds would not send cream-puffs.

The mention of Savannah had been a surprise, and made Perona think back to Savannah and her downcast mood when she had last seen her. Seems she had taken her failure in the S-Class Trials harder than expected, and deep down she wished Savannah nothing but the best on her journey.

~~~~~~~~~~~
​

Savannah continued her journey through the desert, some earlier rumblings a distance away from her she passed off as mere tremors as she continued to follow her map and traverse along the sand.

Savannah felt she had made good progress, and got ever closer to her desired destination...

 

[Crimson Sun]

Orion gave a quiet gasp, shocked at the outcome of the Grand Magic Games selections. Master Ed had chosen Ara, Brendan, Eliza, Barry, and last and most likely least, Orion himself. He had to move his bangs to hear correctly. Orion? As in him Orion? Why was he chosen? There are much more capable people than Orion to partake in such a huge event. How about the S-Classes? Why isn't Zane, Angela, or Flynn in there? Or what about the recent S-Class Promotion Exams, why isn't Viper in there? All these questions came up in Orion's head. All he can do now though is be grateful for the opportunity, even if he wasn't deserving of it.

The Grand Magic Games is a annual event where all guilds participate to battle it out to see which guild comes out on top. It's a huge deal within the wizard world, and all eyes are on the competitors who partake in this guild. They can make a name for both their own guild and for themselves as well. Big competitors would be obviously participating in the Grand Magic Games too, such as Fairy Tail, Sabertooth, Lamia Scale, and much more.

Angela was clapping for the chosen participants, like majority of the guild. Her soft smile seeing as how all the mages she watched from their beginning of their time from the guild to where they are now. And she's especially happy for Eliza. They've been S-Class mages together for a while and she was happy a good friend of hers was able to participate.

Zane was standing along side his fellow S-Class mage Angela. As she was, he was clapping for the participants as well. Both he and Angela, along with Flynn and Eliza participated within a previous Grand Magic Games before, at least once. They all weren't able to make it to the top 8 guilds to be able to participate in the Grand Magic Games, particularly that one year where all 4 of them were in a team and almost made it to the door, only to be beaten by some puppy guild, but he had a feeling this year would be a good year for Ender Eye.

Sabrina knew all too well what a Grand Magic Games was, but during her time in Brothers Grimm, she never understood why their guild wasn't able to participate. That's until after she and Fabian were released by the officials made her understand that Brothers Brimm was a dark guild, non-capable of joining the Grand Magic Games. Oh what an ignorant child she was during Brothers Grimm. It's surprising to see how fast she had matured in just a few months in Ender Eye. It made her wonder, what happened to Azir and Frea, she never heard of them in the longest time. Hopefully they're alright.

Fallon was napping off his headache, only to be awaken by Master Ed's loud announcement. In his opinion, Master Ed was a nuisance that didn't let him sleep, but don't tell the guild master that. He lazily patted the table, his way of clapping, for the chosen 5 to represent Ender Eye. it did make him wonder who was going to be the substitute slash replacement for Ender Eye just in case one of the main five members got injured during the games. A groan ripped fro his throat from all that thinking and he laid his head back down onto the wooden table to ease that massive headache from the party.

 

[Godjacob]

Eliza thought over Brendan's call, as she felt extra motivated to do well on behalf of Savannah. Wherever she is, Eliza would make certain that they'd do her proud which seemed to spark an idea in the Thunder Dragon Slayer.

"I agree, and let us not waste this chance. It may be a month away, but that is no reason we shouldn't turn lax about it. We'll be competing against Fiore's best, so we need to be at our absolute best when that day arrives. So I say we all need to get in some good, hard training to sharpen our skills and improve ourselves!" Eliza said, as she spoke with a commanding voice as she wanted all the other selected mages for the Grand Magic Games to hear.

Eliza had a lot to prove for those games, it was a chance to really put Ender Eye on the map and show the entire world what they were capable of....what she, was capable of. Especially given it seemed inevitable Fairy Tail would be there, and a certain figure among them....the one person she needed to prove her growth and strength towards.

And she would not fail. Not the guild, not herself and certainly not him....

 

[SS-I Never]

Ara had also heard Brendan, and thought about his words carefully. He certainly had a point. If Ara and Savannah were going to have their fated battle when Savannah returns, Ara better not slack off because she doubted Savannah would return with barely any kind of change.

Ara had then quickly grabbed some of her belongings, and was going to head out of the guild, but then came up with an idea.

"Yo, Serebus!" Ara called out as she walked up to the little girl. "Hey, I was going to head out of town and see if there was any place I'd like to train, but I thought you might be interested in going out with me. Ya' know, seeing more than just what Ozryn has to offer. So, whaddya' say?" Ara asked. Serebus was just a young girl, and it made sense for Ara to allow her to explore and get a breath of fresh air instead of being cooped in the guild hall and all.

 

[Godjacob]

Serebus glanced over to Ara, who seemed to have rather excitedly asked her if she wanted to tag along with Ara on her little training trip outside of Ozryn. Serebus had to admit, the idea of not being stuck in the guild and exploring beyond this town had been incredibly tempting and it had not taken the girl long to reach a decision as she smiled at her older-sister figure.

"S-sure, that sounds fun~! Just give me a minute to get my things." Serebus said, as she dashed upstairs and began to gather up stuff she wanted to bring on the trip. Excited for what lied ahead.

"Alright. Elaine pack your things. We've got the journey ahead of us, if you want to tag along of course." Eliza replied with a smirk as Elaine had a grin as both women got up and prepared to go to their places to pack.

Cyrus & Jeanne had a lot to think over as the Guild members picked for the games had been selected, it was slightly upsetting they had not been picked but they wanted to train as well and Jeanne drew inspiration as she walked over to Barry; a psudo-rival of hers as she smiled at the Dark Dragon Slayer.

"Say, Barry, I was wondering if you'd be interested in myself and Cyrus training with you. I figure it could get you nice and ready for the Grand Magic Games. And would be of benefit to all of us. Would you be willing to do that?" Jeanne asked Barry.

Viper himself, had not been sure what to do. He had not been picked for the games, and Eliza seemed to be busy with training and he felt it had been better she'd be left to focus on that and Serebus seemed busy with Ara. Well, if Viper had any aspirations to become S-Class himself and gain access to those exclusive missions he'd need to train himself. With that, he'd stand up and begin to walk with the aim to go pack some things and find a place to train.

-----------
Frea had continued to glide over the desert, when her eyes trained to a distant figure ahead. Frea had no way to know for certain whether that figure was a threat or not, but prepared for a gravity sphere in hand in the event she needed to defend herself; after all she had been through, whoever was stupid enough to pick a fight with her would have been so...

Frea stopped midair, as she had moved close enough to see who the figure was, and not only realized the person was not a threat; but had been just the guy she had looked for.

"A-azir!" Frea called out, more emotion to her voice as she flew over and aimed for a running tackle hug; the Gravity Mage had been overcome with emotion as she saw her former Brothers Grimm companion in the flesh after her torture in that dark realm.

 

[Rhabby]

As the other participants were beginning to find training partners and even leaving for short training trips, Brendan decided he might as well do the same, though he had no clue where or who to train with. Just because he was now S-Class didn't mean he still didn't have room to grow. So, the mage stood and would head to head his home to pack up some things up.
-----------------------
It was clear to Azir who ever this person was they were coming toward him and fast, the sand around Azir shuddered, but before he attacked the nomadic mage froze in shock. He knew this person.

"F-Frea?" Azir asked in disbelief as the tension he had built of for the spell was released and his eyes glistened. Before he could say anything, Azir was tackled to the ground and embraced by his long lost guildmate, "I thought you were dead..." Azir muttered, looking up at her, still in disbelief.

 

[Godjacob]

Fredrick, as he heard and saw others begin to group up for training, decided that he should get some work in. Sucked to be cooped up in his tower or the Guild Hall and who knows maybe he can learn more about how to further redeem himself as he moved over by Brendan as he seemed ready to go and who he had been among the ones he had a "better" relationship than others as he moved over by the Heavenly Body Mage.

"Say, um. Know this is an....akward way to go about it, but I was curious if you'd be willing to let me go with you for training? Figure if you have a sparring partner it'd only improve yourself and all." Fredrick asked as he made his request clear.

-----------
Frea had been overcome with emotion, as she said nothing but simply continued to embrace Azir as tears of relief & joy moved down her cheeks; a stark contrast to those of sorrow she had previously held when trapped within that nightmare world of shadows. Soon, Frea regained her composure as she wiped away the tears and looked at Azir with a smile.

"I....I was held prisioner by one of those Ender Eye mages. The shadow dragon, but he let me out and I've been searching all over for you. I am glad, I was worried that you were in prison or even worse." Frea said to Azir back as she felt instant relief that last of her four closest friends turned out to be safe and sound.

Orion eyes wandered to all the participants of the Grand Magic Games. It looked like everyone was going out to do some of their own training to get in more practice and experience for the upcoming annual wizards competition. The celestial mage decided he needed to do the same too. After all, he's done pretty well with his spirits, but he still needed to work on his close ranged combat and requip skills. He's able to summon two diamond spirits, with little struggles, but manages to do so anyway. His main issue was magic consumption as all his spells require a lot of ethernano. He decided that is what he's going to be working on during his session. And he only has practically one month to practice, better to leave sooner than later. But where?

"Hey Angela," Orion called out to the plant mage, needing answers. "Where do you suppose I should train for the Grand Magic Games?"

"Well," the plant mage continued, multitasking cleaning the bar while conversing with Orion. "There's a mountain I'm heading to collect some herbs, but there's legends that there's a fruit tree there that supposedly helps the user with magic control. I can help you with that if you want. You can train while I collect herbs and locate that legendary fruit. And I can help you train too, after all, I'm an S-Class too."

Orion decided that that was the best course of action for his training. A secluded area would help train his mind and body control. An Angela could definitely help the blonde with his situation. "That would be best," Orion replied. "I'll come along with you if that doesn't bother you."

"Of course not," Angela smiled. "I'm the one who invited you!"
-----
Sabrina had lost all focus on the Grand Magic Games because it didn't include her. But while the others were going out to train, Sabrina wanted to do something too. An idea popped in her head, recalling the dream and memories she had last night. "Hey Fabian," the doll-play mage called out towards the elder. "Do you suppose that Frea and Azir are okay out there in the world? I dreamt about all four of us last night and couldn't help but wonder if they're both prospering as we are right now."

'If I'm going to be honest, I miss them..."

 

[Rhabby]

Brendan turned around a looked at the young mage for a moment then smiled, “You wanna train with me?” Brendan asked, “For sure, I was just about to head out toward the port city of Hargeon, where the Mermaid Heel guild is located.” Brendan explained as he opened the doors of the guild hall. “Do you need to pack anything before we go?” The blue-haired mage asked Fredrick.
—————————
Azir wiped away a few tears before smiling back at Frea, he hadn’t felt so happy in such a long time. Though this happiness was short lived after Frea mentioned what happened to her.

“They imprisoned you?!” Azir exclaimed standing himself and Frea up off the sandy ground. “First they destroy our guild, corrupt two of our members, and do that to you.” Azir growled with a scowl before looking back toward Frea, making his angry expression fade.
“Don’t worry, once I reach my destination and obtain this power our quest for revenge will begin.” Azir declared, clenching his fist.

It was clear by this statement the Azir of the past was no more. It was as if being alone and defeated for so long had left a scar on the mage, that cut deep down to his very soul it seemed.

This, this is it! I am close, I can feel the memories flood back. I'm almost there...
​

Savannah continued to sail across the desert, but as she approached what appeared to be a building with a collection of tents set up next to a cave, she felt the nostalgic feelings of her time prior to Ender Eye flood back towards her. The building wasn't quite as large as say, Ender Eye's Guild Hall, but the building was still a respectable two story place and oddly well kept despite being placed in what most would consider to be not the idea location.

Either way, the odd desert building caused Savannah's grin to grow. She was close, she was so close as she knew that this building had been excatly what she was looking for. The home of her old traveling treasure hunt guild. The home of Golden Hawk...

Perona, after she heard the announcement from Master Ed, had been clueless on what she wanted to do. For certain, she was willing to do anything to forgot that bad hangover the night before. Well, perhaps some training would help get her mind and body back into shape, and given everyone else seemed to be pairing up she figured that she should as well as she waltzed over to her comrade Fallon.

"H-hey, I was....curious if you were in the mood to go train. I really need to get myself going after what happened last night and self improvement can never be frowned upon." Perona asked Fallon.

 

[Godjacob]

Viper had a lot to consider for this trip. He had not been selected for the games, he had failed to ascend to S-Class so what was he to do now? Everyone seemed quite busy with their own training and he had no new leads from Zara in regards to where his mother might have been.

With his options seemingly exhausted, Viper needed something. Training was a natural means to get his mind off things, and he needed to improve if he was to every get a chance for S-Class in the future. So with that, he would set out from the Guild Hall. His plan was to go to the forest outside of town and beyond

-----------
Eliza and Elaine had gathered their items, and moved from the Guild as they began to set out on their little training trip. Though where that was eluded Elaine as she could not help but question.

"So, where are we going to train anyway?" Elaine asked naturally curious.

"Over by the valley. Figured that'd be the ideal spot to get some good training in." Eliza replied simply as the two began their journey. The S-Class trials were a month away, but Eliza had been determined to be ready for them even now.

-----------
Fabian glanced over to Sabrina, and her mention of their former Guild Mates within the Brothers Grimm Guild. In truth, like Sabrina, he missed his old companions Azir and Frea. Though unlike Sabrina he had been aware of the location and status and decided to answer her question.

“Yeah, I miss them to. Azir is a natural survivor and I know for a fact Frea is looking for him after some….complications.” Fabian said, as his eye glanced over to Barry for but a brief moment. It that brief moment, he held a glare as Frea’s account of Barry’s personal darkness prison for her still rubbed him the wrong way. But he broke it quickly as he glanced back at Sabrina.

“…I am certain she will find him, and I know the two can watch each other’s backs. We can only hope for the best for them.” Fabian said to Sabrina as he offered a supportive hand on her shoulder.

-----------
Fredrick thought over Brendan’s question before the Liquid Shadow entity produced a pair of wings as he gave a nod to the Heavenly Body Mage.

“Just need to get a couple things from the tower. Be right back.” Fredrick replied as he flew over to the Clock Tower he had made his own and quickly grabbed a bag as he began to gather the bare essential items. It had taken only a couple minutes before Fredrick finished packing, and once he had finished he flew back down to the Guild Hall and landed before Brendan.

“Ready when you are.” Fredrick replied, as he had to admit this was a new experience for him and he could only hope his disguised form was enough to prevent his “infamous” reputation from ruining the training trip.

-----------
Frea heard of Azir’s declaration of revenge to Fairy Tail, and indeed had notices the changes in his behavior since she had last seen him. His mention of Frea had left her visibly conflicted; on one hand she wanted nothing more than to make that damned Darkness Dragon Slayer suffer for the torment inflicted upon her and she had no love lost for the Guild as a whole. On the other hand, if Fabian’s account was to be believed, then they joined of their own choice and seemed to have found people who accepted them.

Though Azir’s comment of corruption only added more confusion and rare uncertainty from the Gravity Mage. Still, she decided to inquire about this “power” Azir mentioned of.

“W-what power?” Frea asked naturally intrigued by what plan Azir had in mind.

 

[Grand Master Koop]

Barry wasn't doing anything in peculiar after confirming what the guild master was announcing. He stood around, thinking about what to do to prepare for the grand magic games when Jeanne suddenly walked up to him an offered him to tarin with her and Cyrus. "Huh, well let me think about it." He responded before staring off to the distance. "Huh, well I don't have anything else to do so why not." He thought. "Well, I don't have any plans for what's coming next. So sure." He responded to the light-make mage with a shrug.

 

[Godjacob]

"Great! I was thinking that we could go out of town. Hear there is a good forest which should be the perfect sparring grounds for us to all really cut loose. Pride of Ender Eye is at stake at these games, and given you were picked we need to make sure we all use this time to our advantage so you are ready for the games." Jeanne said with a smile as Cyrus, who had listened to their conversation, gave a simple nod.

"Alright, in that case I say we pack what we want to take then and meet up by the edge of town. Cool with you guys?" Cyrus asked Jeanne and Barry as he'd wait for their response though it was clear he had been eager to set out.

 

[SS-I Never]

Ara had been waiting for Serebus for quite a while, and decided to call for her. "Hey, Serebus!" Ara exclaimed, "Ya' ready, yet?"

Cat had been minding her own business at the guild hall, happy to hear that Ara had been chosen for the Grand Magic Games, when her twin brother suddenly appeared before her, and asked, "Do you wanna go out and do some training of our own?"

Cat was kind of surprised to hear her brother, and asked, "Why this all of the sudden?"

"Well, everyone else is doing so, and I didn't want to stay behind, ya' know?" Marcus responded, "And, I thought I could use your Purple Flare Magic to help me out with my new Take Over." Cat seemed to be a bit hesitant, however. "Aw, come on!" Marcus retorted, "We haven't trained together in such a long time! It'll be just like old times!"

Cat sighed, and responded, "Okay, I'll join you. Let's go, bro." Marcus exclaimed in glee, and the two then headed out of the guild hall and from Ozryn.

 

[Godjacob]

Within a heartbeat, Serebus made her way back to Ara as she had a bag with her stuff packed and greeted her big sister figure with a small smile.

"S-sorry, I am ready to go." Serebus assured Ara, as she had not wanted to keep her waiting any longer as Ara seemed eager. And so had she to be fair, as it would be nice to get a break away from Ozryn. A chance to bond with Ara, which given she clung to Viper more often was a welcomed break and who knows maybe she'd develop a new skill or two along the way.

Irregardless, she'd allow Ara to take the lead.

 

[SS-I Never]

"Alright! Let's get outta' here!" Ara exclaimed as she lead Serebus out of the guild and Ozryn.

Eventually, the two would arrive in a luxurious and gigantic forest. The tree's towering every house and building in all of Ozryn, even the Ender Eye guild. A rainbow of arrangement of blooming flowers bursting out of the bushes, nearly the size of a small dog. It was truly a sight to behold.

Ara would then take a deep breathe and exhaled. "Man, it's been quite a while since I've been in here," Ara said, not minding whoever paid attention to her or not. Ara then sat down on a boulder and grabbed some fruit from a nearby tree. Ara offered some of the fruit to Serebus, though, to be quite frank, the fruit didn't look that appealing. The fruit was brown and seemed to be rather soft, too soft. Though, Ara seemed to be enjoying it.

 

[Godjacob]

Viper soon arrived on what appeared to be an open plain. Nice and distant from Ozryn, which was preferable as it'd make for good training grounds without the need to concern himself with holding himself back.

However, something kept him from beginning right away....something that troubled him since he arrived to this area. He was not sure, as as far as he could tell he had never been to this specific spot before. Yet in spite of this, he had an odd case of deja vu. Irregardless, Viper took a sip of water and tried to clear his mind from those thoughts.

-----------
Serebus had been quick to accept the fruit from Ara, as she overheard Ara's comment which caused an eyebrow to raise on the young girl. Had the water & ice mage been here before? Seemed so from her comment, but Serebus could not help but be curious about the details.

"So, you've been here before Ara?" Serebus asked with a gently town after she finished chewing and swallowing her bite of the tasty snack Ara provided her.

-----------
Eliza and Elaine had made it to the valley a fair ways away from Ozryn, as Eliza had a smirk and cracked her knuckles while Elaine scanned the area. The valley had been seemingly uninhabited, and was vast enough to provide plenty of open ground.

Something that pleased Eliza to no end, as she already began some stretches. Seemed the Thunder Dragon Slayer had some fire to her, which only caused Elaine to smile as she began to stretch in tendon. This was gonna be an interesting training session to be sure.
