In The Times Of Fairy Tails

Kingdom of Elamos: In the Prince's room​

Johanna saw Samantha frown as Skadi intervened, but started to ask her about her magic to distract her.

"Wha-what?" Zachery whispered. He saw Johanna keeping Samantha busy, and slipped himself and Skadi outside the room, gently closing the door. "That's completely absurd. I don't have feelings for Samantha, she's, she's my tutor after all." The Prince protested. He wasn't only embarrassed by also seemed like he was hiding something. He spoke quickly, and quietly though there was emotion in his voice. You could see in his eyes that he was not angry, but.. sad. "There is nothing there at all, I don't know how you came to such a, conclusion but, it's a ridiculous one."

 

"With all respect, the only reason it's a ridiculous one is because you won't say anything to her. What's the worst that can happen? She says no and then you move on? You'll be fine. Just have a little courage and then you'll be good" Skadi said, reassuring the prince.​

 

Kingdom of Elamos:


Sara's pov:
Man this girl was rude. Why did she want to know about the prince? "Why are you so interested in the prince?" It seemed to be quite a odd thing for a random person this late to want to see the prince. Assassin, or something else. What ever the case it was time to go. "We have to get going. Silvia it is time to go back inside."

 

Kingdom of Elamos: In the Prince's room​

"Skadi, I'm afraid you really don't understand." Zachery groaned. "Samantha is a peasant, a commoner." The Prince told her. "Even if I had feelings for her, which I don't, we could never marry. I am marrying Princess Dominique for the good of the Kingdom. There is nothing to tell Samantha. We could currently not be together while I am married to her. That simply won't happen. There is nothing to say so please. Drop the issue."

 

Taylor had been completely stunned from fear, and hadn't even felt herself attack. She looked at her hands when the spell was released, impressed with herself for managing to strike despite her terror. Nobody around her had used the lightning spell again, and she was beginning to regain her normal mental state. She closed her eyes and shuddered, before yelling out "Guys, if you can help it, please don't use thunder attacks! Lightning freaks me out..." She added the last part quietly, reluctant to admit her fear but believing that her teammates deserved an explanation even if only the ones closest to her could hear it. She proceeded to use Fire Dash once more on the giant whale.



Therity really wanted to punch this guy. She was really in the mood for a fight. Unfortunately, the train stopped suddenly, and the man called Kageyama jumped out of the damn window. Therity was frustrated, but didn't show it. She knew there would be other opportunities to fight. Without saying a word, she followed the man out of the train, but in a much more civililzed manner. Namely, the door. ​

 

Skadi sighed. "Fine, I'll drop it" the young ice mage said. If the Prince wasn't going to admit anything to himself there wasn't much point in trying, so she began to walk back towards the others. However, after about one step she stopped and glanced over her shoulder. "The heart wants what the heart wants, regardless of rank. If you marry someone else your kingdom might be fine, but you would live a life wishing you had gone with your heart instead, and I pray that you don't choose that life for yourself, your highness" she said before continuing back to the others.​

 

"Um, well I don't have much more to add other than what Silvia already said." He hadn't really paid much attention to how the prince behaved to accurately answer her question. Leo then turned his attention towards Silvia just as Sara, the problem one of the group, had arrived. She was talking to Damian on the carriage, so she might've seen him as well. "By the way, have any of you two seen Damian at all?"

Alisa used Barrige Surge on the whale and blocked for Beucette.

 

Kingdom of Elamos: In the Prince's room​

"For the good of the Kingdom..." Zachery said simply. He went back into the room with Zwei, Amanda, Johanna and Samantha.

Princess Dominque [B]wasn't sure dragging another person into this would help. She didn't know how trustworthy the wizards are, and the more people knew she wasn't really a Lady in Waiting, the worse it would be for her in the long run. So she stayed quiet.[/B]"It was lovely talking to you all." She said simply, before going into the palace with her adviser. ​

 

Kingdom of Elamos:



Sara's pov:
"The king said not to worry about it and that he would just show up eventually. If he is not here by the time we are going back to the guild hall then he will do a search party." All in all not very helpful king. "Do you think that there is a way to get into the mines without the king? I feel like some answers maybe there. The king wants us to protect the prince so we should get going." The girl that Leo and Silvia were talking to left. "She seemed nice." She still wondered if she was apart of the kingdom.

 

Journey to Sian: Hargeon Town



​

Calxiyn noticed that when Scarlett was inside the Whale, it seemed to cry out in agony. That's when she came up with an idea. "Ok guys, do your best out here, I'm going to go inside of the whale!" She said. She got onto her Keyblade Gilder, and once the whale opened its mouth, she jumped inside. "Hey Scarlett, are you ok?" Calxiyn called.

Calxiyn used Sliding Dash on the inside of Whale.

 

Mizuki used Sliding Dash.

Also, bagels.

 

"Those two that you saw Cassandra, they're with Erigor. That guy in the white outfit, he's up to something alright. He was taunting us. He said something happened to Hasu Ren from the Guild." Alessia reported, not wishing to waste any time. She saw the rough direction Kageyama and his friend went and they had to follow him. If they let them go... Who knew what they could do in that time? He clenched her fists. "We've got to get after them Cassandra. Whatever they're doing, they could be starting it at any minute and worse, they said something about Ren leaving the guild. He's vulnerable, they could have taken him!" She remembered Hasu from the cathedral, with the ghost child. She remembered the kind way he tried to help the child... He was a good man. They couldn't let him be hurt. They just couldn't!




"Not likely! A nobleman leads by example!" Vance shouted back at Cal, running along the deck. She was just taking off on that obscene glider of her's, it didn't look like it should fly in the slightest. Nevertheless, as she took off and started to glide away from the boat, Vance leaped for the glider, staff in one hand. He caught on and used the momentum of the jump and her speed to swing forwards. He sailed through the air with the same approximate grace as a brick thrown by a hooligan at an unfortunate old person's window, but saved some face with a dramatic landing, with one knee on the ground and his staff firmly planted in the fleshy mouth of the whale. "Press on, we shall defeat this beast shortly!" Vance raised his staff above the ground slightly and channelled magical energy into it, forming fire. He slammed it into the flesh of the whale's mouth, probably the tongue and released the flames inside.

Vance used Fire Surge,




"Ow bloody hell Mikasa yer scratching me- No, wait, yerself! Punch me later or somethin' but don't scratch up tha' pretty face o' yers!" Edric exclaimed, desperately trying to get the enraged cat off him. He yelped as a particularly vicious claw drew a bit of blood. "Sumone get this bloody cat a fesh or somethin'!"




Dale dived out of the way before the grand piano hit, but it wasn't necessary. However, he wasn't used to this new body. Dale went tumbling to the ground and hit his head on the floor. He yelped and grabbed his head, rubbing the spot where he hit, closing his eyes as he did so. When he opened them, a fair maiden radiating grace and glory and beauty and- No, wait, that wasn't right. It was only Charlotte, there was only one girl he loved and that was- NO! Compelled by some irresistable urge to go flirt, Dale-Thomas got to his feet and slipped his arm around 'Charlotte'.
"Hey beautiful," Dale began (Gabi which green is it because I couldn't figure it out lol), before two things happened. Firstly, he regained control of his senses and his body, and secondly he remembered it was Gaius in control. He snapped his arm back and stumbled away. "Oh no, I am so sorry, I can't help it! This body it just... It just wants to flirt with things I can't stop it!"





Meanwhile, in a tower that was conveniently out of range of the body swap, Boreal was staying as quiet as possible to avoid annoying the crazy one in the room with him. It was a startling display of patience for him, one that he hadn't realised he was capable of. Everything was pretty fine and peaceful aside from that, but he heard something. Someone was coming up the stairs. Could it be Mikasa again? No, she would just break the window again. That Caliborn guy? That was possible. Had she told him about what he'd been saying to her? He didn't know... It was worrying to be sure. He could be in grave danger. It had to be another S-Class. (It's totally GexIn, but he didn't know that).

 

And the day became night, and with everyone tucked into their beds....

Kingdom of Elamos: Outside of the Palace​

"Why exactly did you turn into Samantha again?" Minx asked Jinx, as they came upon the castle. They were outside of the Prince's window, which was open.

"Allow me to demonstrate dear sister." Jinx told her. "Prince Zachary." Jinx called to him, her voice sounding and her looking exactly like Samantha.

Zachary, who was at his desk asleep, popped up when he heard Samantha calling him. He looked out the window, and waved to her. Zachary hurried down the stairs of the palace, coming out into the courtyard.

"Samantha, what are you doing out here, it's late-" But before Zachary could finish, from behind him, Minx popped out, putting a large bag over his head.

"Sleep now... Prince." Minx started to laugh. And they disappeared into the night.

Kingdom of Elamos: Inside The Palace​

The group was called to the Throne Room that next morning.

"Where could he be?! He wasn't at Breakfast." The King said.

"I'm sure he'll turn up, your majesty." Johanna told him. "He couldn't have gotten far, maybe he's just... in town." But Johanna didn't have an answer.

"Ahem, I'm sorry to interrupt, your majesty." Preminger entered in the room, holding an envelope. "I found this on the Prince's desk." She handed it to the King.

"It's a letter to me." The King read it, he then gasped. "It says he's run away!"

"What?!" Johanna exclaimed.

"No..." Samantha covered her mouth

"So he won't have to marry Princess Dominique." The King continued. "We have to find him, he could be hurt."

"I'll send out a search party right away, your majesty." Preminger told him.

"What would I do without you Preminger." The King shook his head, coughing wearily. ​

That's when the Adviser of Dominique finally spoke up.

"This is an outrage!" He yelled. "The most grievous insult!"

"I am sure we'll find him." Johanna tried to calm the situation down.

"I insist we cancel the wedding, if the Prince does not return by the end of the day." He crossed his arms.

"It doesn't add up, why would he run away?" Samantha asked.

"Why don't you see for yourself." Preminger handed Samantha the note. Samantha sniffed the note.

"Lilac... where did you get this?" Samantha crossed her arms.

"On the Prince's desk."

"Perhaps the Wizards and I should help you look for him." Samantha offered.

"Why don't you stick to your books." Preminger snatched the letter back, and as she was leaving, said her final word on the subject. "School girl."

"These wizards couldn't keep the Prince here in the first place, what good are they!?" The Adviser for Dominique was truly outraged.

"He never scented his stationary with lilac, only rose..." Samantha's voice trailed off. "Always rose."

"Why don't we talk Privately, Adviser." The King suggested, leaving Samantha and the group members alone. ​

​

 

Ra looked over at his own body. Damn he was sexy. He could see why Cal wanted to tap that. It appeared that the one who had inherited his form was Charlotte. In truth, he was relieved. Out of all the people who could have been placed in it, she was likely the most trustworthy. He trusted each of the members of team king with his life, just...not his reputation. Charlotte, however, was an exception. They were fairly similar in nature. Despite popular belief, he did have traits aside from wear a "bird suit". "I believe the first course of action should be to investigate this job request which caused the change. Afterwards, seeking a solution will prove to be a simpler task due to knowledge of the cause." Ra suggested to the group while glaring at the zipper on his scarf, still irritated at the nonsensical nature of such a device. He suddenly felt the irresistible urge to defeat it through use of dark tears in space to become stronger....odd.

Beucette looked at the girl with a giant ass shield who had saved her ass. "Yo. Thanks a million." The whale seemed to be suspiciously hurt by that last round. After looking at the battle post, she realized that Scarlett had done double damage for being inside the whale. "Aw what? Man that ***** is doing too much damage i need to go and get double too." Leaping off the boat in a cannon ball fashion, the whale jumped out of the water like Free Willy Cat and ate her. Man, she hoped that she didn't get reported for intentional feeding...Looking around, she noticed that she was with Scarlett and Calxiyn. "Man. This place is tight...and wet...and warm...( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)"

Beucette used sliding dash.

Aias used barrier surge and blocked for Lucia.

Quinn's eyes widened as a wooden flute dropped from a man's pocket. He wasn't exactly the most magically inclined, but his gut told him that thing was bad news. Quinn drew one of his pistols, Veritas, and began shooting at him. However, none of the bullets hit. He grabbed X and then vanished into thin air. Cursing under his breath, he put away the pistol once again. "Hey, who was that guy? Did he say anything that might tell us where he's going? We need to hurry, if we're going to catch him."​

 

Kingdom of Elamos: A Cabin In the Woods.​

Sometime during the night, the Prince and Damian were both moved into a more comfortable room, which included a bed, a fire place, and a couple chairs.

Zachary awoke from the bed he was placed on, in a pair of shorts and a tee shirt. He had, at some point, been stripped of his royal clothes. He looked over to see Damian, slummed in a chair. Zachary shot up.

"Who, who are you?" Zachary asked him, looking in his direction. "You can't be the one who captured me... no... Samantha did..." The Prince felt himself fighting back tears. He felt so betrayed. He took a deep breath, closing his eyes. "Are you ok?"

 

Mission of the Utmost Importance:



Ander's pov:
They were soon led off the train. They soon were confronted by Cassandra for going off. He did not know what to say. What were they sopost to do just sit there. "That person with Kageyama could have been Erigor hiding his appearance." He then looked at Alessia. Why did she do what she did? He was so use to helping people. It was such a odd feeling to be helped. Now was not the tome to talk there would be plenty of time for that latter. "We should get moving. This could involve lullaby in some way."


Kingdom of Elamos:



Sara's pov:
She looked a Preminger. Something did not add up. Then Preminger left. She was behind this. "Samantha I suggest we go to the princes room." They did not need Preminger lessoning to what they were talking about. None of this would be happening if the dumb king listened to her and put Preminger under observation.

 

​

Damian woke up blurry eyed, he'd been moved into a new room, it was... actually rather nice. A lovely carpet, comfortable bed, fireplace and... a man who looked just like Zwei. Alright, it was fun for a bit but now this was getting annoying.
"Oh for god's sake, haven't you had enough fun tormenting me by shapeshifting into my colleagues? A new one now huh? Wasn't the last one hot enough?" he blurted angrily, normally he wouldn't get this angry, but normally he didn't get captured and tortured in cruel and perverted ways "What do you mean who am I? I didn't capture you, you captured me! Foul succubus!" he stood up and stomped around. A thought occured to him, this man looked quite harmless, and Damian wasn't chained down... he had a feeling he was making a mistake and in fact this was merely Zwei's long lost identical twin or something. it was too late to go back now "Of course I'm not ok! I've been captured and seduced by a man who was actually a woman! agh! Don't talk to me! I need to think!"

 

Kingdom of Elamos:

Amanda's pov: "Don't you think it is strange the Dutchess found the letter? That new guy too. I don't know who is but maybe he trying to cover his tracks by saying we couldn't protect the prince. He could be behind it. I sure one of the have something to do with the prince if not then they most likely have something to do with the missing gold. Remember the Duchess originally didn't want the wedding. She has a motive for both the gold and the prince missing. If I had to guss. I say she wants to over throw the kingdom. She could use the gold to start her own and with the prince gone the king will be busy trying to find him."

Mission of the Utmost Importance:

Jack's pov: "Kage he almost dropped something as he was trying to leave. If it was the Lullaby or not I cannot say. It was obviously important for him not the leave it behind though. At the very lest what ever it was probably was a weapon. We need to fallow them quickly. They are both dark guild members. We can't let them hurt people." He knew somehow they would stop them both soon. He didn't know how but it was going to happen. He really didn't know what else to say but he knew they had to get moving. Something had been bothering him about Ren. "Cassandra did Ren really leave the guild? Kage said he did. I mean I saw him before the missions. He was leaving with a bag of stuff. I just thought he was going somewhere. I didn't realize he was leaving the guild. I could have tried and stopped him. If they really have Ren we need to leave soon. He was almost a Friend...It is my fault if they have him. He stopped clearly upset. The sadness and guilt showed plainly on his face.

 

Kingdom of Elamos: A Cabin In the Woods.​

Zachary was more confused then embarrassed, he had no idea what this guy was talking about. And he seemed in great distress. "I'm sorry, but I was captured myself... but the person I-" He cut himself off. "Trusted. Someone I trusted." The Prince's voice trailed off. "I'm not going to hurt you, I just want to know where I am."

 

​

The man seemed to be even more confused than him. Damian sighed, he couldn't stay angry, it wasn't in his nature, and this man was quite clearly not a shapeshifter. "I don't know where we are either, I was captured on our guild's way to the kingdom, we had some mission to do with a wedding, I'm assuming someone didn't want it to go ahead" he caught himself staring at the man and blushed, he was quite cute in a hapless kind of way. "Shapeshifters" he said "You probably weren't caught by the person you 'trusted'" Damian had noticed the hesitation in the prince's voice, it was clearly more than trust "I had information seduced out of me when they transformed into one of my colleagues, that's why I was so angry a second ago, you look exactly like one of them"
