In The Times Of Fairy Tails

Ra used binding strike


"I'm afraid we don't have a specialization yet." Aias answered in response to what magic they used. His expression hadn't moved from how it began when the girls approached them. "When a large group of people join the guild, there's a tournament held. The winner chooses their magic first, and takes their choice from the guild's mass of specializations." He said, giving a brief summary of how the process of magic selection went in the guild. Taking another sip, he continued on. "If you're interested, you could come and watch it. I believe it's to take place fairly soon. I don't believe there's anything forbidding someone outside the guild from attending."


Quinn took out a cigarette and lit it, thinking about the situation. "Zeref huh...That thing is dangerous, to be certain." He looked at the flute. "We can't destroy it, or even seal away its power. We have to guard it. As much as i hate to say it. One day we might need to use it ourselves. As long as it's well protected, no one will be able to get to it." Quinn exhaled, letting out a small cloud of smoke. "I'm obviously not suggesting that we use it as a weapon at every given opportunity, but that's a powerful artifact. We have a habit of making powerful enemies. We've always overcome it before, but you saw Erigor. He's not exactly the end all villain of the underworld. There are people in dark guilds so powerful that Erigor looks like a child compared to them. Have you ever heard of the Balam Alliance? A pact between three of the most powerful dark guilds in the world. One of them would take our entire guild to even have a hope of standing up against. Imagine if all three of them decided to work together. We'd be dead before we knew what happened. We need more than just sweat and perseverance to defend ourselves. I'm just saying, it's better to have the option than not and wish we did." ​

 

He turned around to face her in surprise when she admitted that she did actually like him. The words set off a peculiar sensation of happiness that shone through the present misery.
"Now those words I have not heard in some time. The only thing that even comes close is my adopted daughter. You probably have no idea how much, surprising as it is, that means to me." Vance spoke softly with the ghost of a smile on his lips. "Perhaps you are right. Perhaps not but equally, perhaps so. I cannot say for sure. I can only hope that you are correct. I would like to think so honestly." He smiled to himself, nodding. Unbidden, a thought came to his mind and a slight chuckle escaped him.
"Say, next time I am here be careful with your teasing. I may well take you up on something you say." The nobleman said, only half jokingly. He admitted to himself that tonight was fun and he was certain that other encounters would be too. Not to mention that she did cut a fine figure. Now that all bets were off for marriage... He saw no reason not to enjoy some company with someone he liked. If of course, it was mutual. After all, she was not just some poor soul using what she had for money. She was a person. Just like any other. Annoyingly for him, the thought became rather a pleasant one in his head and his cheeks coloured red slightly. So this is what hormones are. I see. I have a feeling that males are not really supposed to suppress this sort of thing.

 

Tessa sighed. Left behind again. She pushed her hair back from her face and exhaled through her lips, both frustrated and sad. What was she supposed to do now?

Go back the way she came, or go forward. She decided to head back. Thea and Skadi had both taken off to pursue their own stories, and they didn't need a tag along. She would go back to the guild hall. Perhaps, if no one there could help her, it was time to move on. Perhaps this wasn't the place for her to be.

 

Within the deep realms of sleep, Charlotte had a dream. A very complex and thoroughly detailed dream, one that would win an Oscar if it was made (because it'd be immediately turned into a film after winning the Nobel Piece Prize which it immediately won after getting the Pulitzer prize once it was written down in book form.) In fact, it was so detailed and so amazing that the writer of the dream himself couldn't express all of the imagery and symbolism and story in a single language. As such, it was written in 30 different languages, and then put into an audio book for every few chapters in 17 other languages. However, the writer does not know 47 languages so, but if you must know the amazingness of this dream, picture this. Fifty billion rainbows and the sun is setting and the moon is setting also and you're there in a gazebo, and then God descends from heaven and he gives you million dollars. Take that feeling, and put it into a book, I could translate word by word but that'd take too long, and I've got stuff to do readers, I don't have time for this. You gotta trust me readers, this freaking dream is brilliant.

Anyway, Charlotte woke up after that dream and noticed that the group was still fighting Sheeptard. Being slightly confused at the entire situation at hand, she was wondering why she felt so drowsy in the first place, but that was probably neither here nor there. As such, Charlotte just used Fire Surge on the sheep and blocked for Ra. Yeah.

Having been wondering through a myriad of different maze routes while in this maze, Lucia wasn't having any luck finding an exist. Nevertheless, it had turned out that someone else had. Well that was good. Also the maze was flooding. That was less good. Even worse was that Lucia was pretty far away from the exit. This may have proven a problem if not for the fact that, Caliborn not withstanding, she was the fastest person in their group. And so, breaking into a full sprint, Lucia ran as fast as she could through the watery maze, until having finally caught up with the group. Panting a bit, she looked up and said, "made it. Whew. Nice job finding it guys."

 

Gaius used Quick Blitz. It did 5 damage, but with strength, speed and weapon it did 37 damage!
Ra used Binding Strike. It did 8 damage, but with strength, speed, weapon and magic it did 55 damage!
Veilen used Fire Dash. It did 18 damage, but with magic, speed and weapon it did 32 damage! Sheeptard was ignited, taking 5 damage per turn for this turn and the next!
Thomas used Thunder. It did 4 damage, but with magic and weapon it did 20 damage!
Rennette used Esuna on Charlotte, causing her to wake up!
Charlotte woke up! She then used fire surge, dealing 28 damage, but with magic and defence it did 39 damage! Sheeptard was set...more on fire? Taking 4 damage per turn for this turn and the next!

All together, the party did 172 damage, with Sheeptard's defence reducing 13 of that. BUT with the flames, Sheeptard took an additional 14 damage. 173 damage dealt!



Sheeptard used Assault and Baahttery. A 50hp shield is placed on him until the end of his next turn.

Sheeptard used his "Screw ewe" attack. He flung a lamb at Gaius, dealing 8 damage, but with strength and weapon it did 35 damage! The rest of the party took 17 damage (except for Ra because charlotte)!
Rennette's defence blocked 3 damage
Gaius' defence blocked 2 damage
Veilen's defence blocked 6 damage
Ra's defence blocked...wait Ra doesn't have defence. Good thing he has a meatshield!
Thomas' defence blocked 5 damage
Charlotte's defence blocked 4

The party's speed is halved until the end of the next round of combat!
Gaius and Veilen fell asleep!

Sheeptard the Sheep King. Praise be unto him!


HP: 213
Weapon: Horns (2X 5-10 damage)
Strength: 18
Speed: 8
Defence: 15
Magic: 5

"Screw ewe" attack: Sheeptard hurls an innocent, adorable lamb at his opponents, dealing aoe damage and halving their speed for two turns as they stop to gaze at its adorableness.
1-10 damage to one target, half to everyone else

Baaaaaaaaad laser: Shoots a laser at his opponents that does 0 damage and does not scale, but looks ****ing awesome.
0-0 damage
"Ram"page: Sheeptard charges his opponent down, dealing a solid amount of damage and stunning them for one turn. Due to knockups being a non-cleansable form of CC, Esuna does not affect it.
5-8 damage to a single target

Assault and Baahttery: The Sheep King plucks a lamb from the earth itself and slams it into his chest with supreme, manly gusto, causing the lamb to stick to his woolly awesomeness and provide a temporary meatshield, and nobody can ever take that away from it.
50 damage shield for 1 turn

Unstoppable Fleece: Despite his manly ego, Sheeptard is a little....sheepish, and is quite easily startled. Each attack landed on him has a 5% chance to engulf the attacker in the fluffiest wool imaginable, reducing the damage on their next attack by 50%.

Lambassador: While Sheeptard mourns the loss of his woolen brethren, he also respects the laws of the land and the means for survival, and so he consumes his fallen lamb friends, gaining 50 hp back whenever one of his meatshields are destroyed, as well as +5 damage on his next attack.

Counting Sheep: Sheeptard casts his magic on an enemy, causing them to feel drowsy as illusions of small sheep began running by them and leaping over fences. After three turns, the victim falls into a deep slumber. Lasts 3 turns.

"Jack, we've 'gotten rid' of his whole Guild, there aren't spies to worry about anymore." Cassandra explained to him. "Even if their were spies, if we keep it with Evanora no one would be able to get into it. Plus, no one gets in and out of the Guild without Evanora knowing." She crossed her arms. "We don't know how strong the demon is, I'm sure we could be it, but we don't want anyone else to get injured."

Cassandra turned to Ander. "Repressive Magic would work, if it wasn't already being repressed in the flute. But you're right, we should fight it when we're ready."


"Actually, Zephyr, I know just the place, if that's what you decide. Also, please carry that back for me." Evanora said.

"There are a few places like that at the Guild Hall. For example, the S-Class floor, and further more, Evanora's own office. There's also the dungeon."

"It's dangerous to unleash Demons in the way you've describe Quinn. I understand where it might come from, but there is no way to have a demon listen to us. Now, as for using the flute, that would go against my own morals. We would have to make sure the whole city was empty. There's too many risks, but at the same time, I agree with you." Cassandra paced. "It could be a powerful tool, but at what cost? And how would we protect everyone?"

"If you want the flute to be protected, then the best way to do that is in the Guild Hall. We have a couple of people in the Guild who can make charms to protect it, and with a whole Guild, they wouldn't dare. I can't say I'm not surprised with what you've decided. I think that I know just the place we are able to put the flute, that is close enough to the Guild hall that we can protect it, but far enough away that it'll be hidden." Evanora gave a small smile to the Guild. "When we get back, if you'd like, you can accompany me. If not, though, I think that there is a celebration going on." Evanora smiled omnipresently.

"You've all done very well, I'm proud of all of you. Now, why don't we-" Cassandra stopped, her eyes rolling at the back of her head, and her eyes turning white. She saw flashes, of Mikasa fighting a hooded stranger. She felt as if she were going to vomit. She moved behind the tree, and threw up, still seeing the vision. "Evanora, we need to get back to the Guild hall right away." Cassandra was shaking, and her eyes were still white. "It's Mikasa, but not only Mikasa, the whole town, something is happening and we have to... we have to..." Cassandra fell into Evanora's arms.

"Everyone, I'm sorry for my sudden absence but we must go." Evanora told the other Guild Masters. "Cassandra, you're going to be fine." Evanora carried her in her arms. "Don't panic, she's going to be okay. But, on another note, I'd just like to say that you've all impressed me." Evanora walked forward with Cassandra in her arms, and they traveled back to the Guild Hall.

~ Mission End ~

​

Back at the Guild Hall, Evanora and Cassandra were sitting in her room. Evanora had told all the other Guild Members that they could stay around the Guild Hall, or see what was happening with Cassandra. She also reminded them of a party going on at a certain Tavern, and gave them the address. ​

​

 

After having dashed at the bestial sheep king, Charlotte had come to notice something. Both Gaius and Veilen had dosed off in the battlefield. She couldn't help but think that this wasn't some kind of coincidence, and that this sheep had some sort of power of sleep. Vile scourge, with such underhanded effects, he needed to be put down as soon as could be possible. However, there was still the issue that they needed to operate at full capacity, and as such, Charlotte used Esuna on Gaius to bring him out of sleep, then blocking for Gaius.

 

"You were right Malkira! We should have listened." Calxiyn crossed her arms. "Alisa, Lucia, I'm so glad you're okay!" Calxiyn gave both of them a small smile. "Beucette, you too. I'm so happy we all made it out. But uh, Balthazar, how are we going to get out of here if we can't go back."

"I'll show you." Balthazar opened the door, and they walked through a room of marble ceiling and floor, with the walls depicting the plight of King Midas. "I just want to thank you, all of you. You're the best team members I could ever ask for." Balthazar gave them all a sad smile. They walked into a circular room, and around it, they could see the spirit of the oracle, her entirely craved into the wall.

"It's the Oracle." Calxiyn whispered softly. And in the middle of the room, a golden hand, but it was floating up into the air.

"Is there any way we can fly up there?" Balthazar asked.

"I have an idea, my Keyblade Gilder!" Calxiyn interrupted. Calxiyn flew everyone onto the Golden Hand, except for Caliborn because he had mist body.

There was a hooded figure statue holding the Hand of Midas, Golden and shining. Balthazar had tears in his eyes, and he started to cry. He put his hand on the back of his neck. "All these years, I can't believe it." Balthazar said. "Don't touch the hand, everyone. It'll turn you to gold." Balthazar advised. He went up to the statue, and took the Hand out from the statue's grasp. "The Hand of Midas!" He lifted it up into the air, and then put it onto what they were standing on. The whole room started to turn to Gold.

"This is a miracle!" Calxiyn shouted excitedly.

"Thank you all, thank you all from the bottom of my heart."

 

Caliborn followed behind fairly passively, allowing the Guild Members to find their way. When the flooding started, it became a bit of a rush but ultimately, it was nothing to worry about overall. Finally, it seemed that they had reached the room with the Hand and the spirit of the Oracle carved into the wall. Caliborn, rather than using the Keyblade Glider used his magic to fly instead. I wonder where the girl got such a bizarre piece of technology. We should look at it and figure out the enchantments on it to use for ourselves in other weapons. The magical community would certainly appreciate simplified flying devices such as these. Perhaps I should ask to get it looked at some time. Those thoughts aside, Caliborn watched intently the scene unfolding before him. The room began to turn to gold which was all very well and good, but they had just got the artifact and were leaving it with this man. In any case, he didn't seem all that harmful but when confronted with potent magical artifacts such as the Hand of Midas, one could hardly have a laissez-faire attitude with it.
"Now that you have it, what do you intend to do with it?" Caliborn asked.




Alessia watched things resolve themselves, and they did so aptly. However, the originally happy and uncomplicated ending was sullied somewhat by the collapse of Cassandra and the vision that she spoke of. The entire town of Naliama? The Guild? Fighting something? What could possibly be that big of threat? She could only wonder... Something about a hooded figure. Worse, Cassandra collapsed and seemed to fall unconscious though put her faith in Evanora when she reported that she would be fine. After all, she must have seen it happen before. An episode like that would be impossible to ignore. With those concerns alleviated, she returned to the Guild Hall in relative peace. When they returned, a new member stood there in the Hall seemingly lost. However, she was clearly meant to be there. Who is that? I'll have to ask. Alessia approached Tessa and tapped her on the shoulder.
"Hey, are you new here?" She asked.

 

Florica nodded. "I see her coming up again soon. Don't go on any missions with Vance, if that's the case. That's what I advise you." Florica told him.


Red gave Vance a smile. She kissed him on his cheek. "I'll be waiting." She crossed her legs. "Now go, you should go rescue Conrad before Florica does a reading on him."




"That's very interesting. I've never been to one of those before." She smiled.

"You're new to the Guild then, how are you liking it?"


Cat had been walking down the stairs when she saw Thea. "Are you alone, little girl?" The women asked her, putting her hand on Thea's shoulder. "You look like you've come a long way, why don't you sit down between these ladies here." She said, guiding her to the seat. "What can you tell me about your father, do you know if he's with one of the girls here?" Cat asked her.

 

​

So they went into this massive room with the golden hand and somehow flew up and found the hand and a load of stuff happened. Balthazar seemed incredibly happy to find the hand, which Malkira didn't really understand. I mean, gold is always good, but there was more to life than money.
"Great we've got what we came for, now I guess I have to bring up the elephant in the room, how the hell are we getting out? The way we came in is flooded"

 

Mission of the Utmost Importance:



Ander's pov:
With Everyone saying that they should keep the flute away hidden somewhere in the guild there was not much he could do. The other members of other guilds did not question how he knew about Repressive Magic. This was good. The ride back to the guildhall was peaceful enough and nothing note worthy happened.

Guild Hall:



Ander's pov:
He arrived at the guild hall and looked around he need some questions answered and now was as good as time as any. One person he had questions for seemed somewhat busy, but should let them know he hand some for them. "Excuse me, Alessia I have some questions to ask you when ever you have time no rush though." He figured that she needed time after the mission anyways. To bother her with questions when they first got back seemed mean in some way. He was sure that she would be able to find him when she was ready anyways. He then left Alessia to enjoy herself. The next person on the list he would not wait to talk to. He figured the person would be in one room or another he headed up some stairs and found one of the girl's rooms that he was sure Evanora was in he saw he head up this way. He then knocked on the door. "Evanora I need to talk to you."

 

Conrad Heinrich Adelbrecht Carsten von Eisenstein II

When Florica answered, he was surprised by her answer. He would need to stay clear from Vance on missions? Or just the particular time that witch would show up? There were so many questions that flooded into his mind. Vance was really the only person he had the chance to get more insight in. So abandoning that chap would leave him back at square one again. There was Aoki, but he wasn't sure about her, it seemed fate trying to bar him from getting to know her. Vance was nobility like him, as was Thea. Yet he didn't feel like he belonged with them and all of the others he had run into when it came to it put him in the same box as Vance, he fell in between the two groups and knew he would never truly belong in either of them, facing a cold future, the worry about this crept up on his face, yet he quickly snapped out of it, hoping Florica hadn't seen. "What happens if I don't stay away from him?" Conrad decided to ask, in an attempt to mask his emotions.

 

Mission of upmost importance:

Jack's pov: As the mission ended they somehow came to the conclusion that Lullaby was safe in the guild hall or somewere near it. It was clear even if all the members of this guild were no more they could always be more spys. In fact he would bet on it if he could. There will always be those that seek power. Where ever Evenora desided to put Lullaby he would know as she said they could fallow if they wished. He would see if it was safe, and if it wasn't safe there be probably nothing he could do.

Guild hall:

Jack's pov: When he entered the hall he desided to watch out for when Evenora left to put Lullaby in safe place. He would fallow because she said they could. He wanted to talk to Caliborn again to ask him questions but it seemed that he wasn't back from his mission. As much as he himself knew about magic, Caliborn possibly knew more. Then there was Alessia who either ignored him the hole mission or didn't know he was there. He couldn't blame her as after they had talked before she seemed mad at him. Although he would like to talk to her agin he didn't want to make her mad again, besides she was already talking to someone. The one question he really wanted answered he believed Evanora or one of the S-classes would know the answer to. He didn't want to bother Cas as she needed her rest. The next pick would be Evenora but it looked like Ander took off to talk to her. So he desided to sit down watching until either someone came to talk to him or Evenora, Caliborn, Mikasa or possibly one of the other s-classes showed up that were not on the mission he was on. His one question he wanted the answer to he felt Evanora would most likely know the answer to. As for his not so important question, he liked Caliborn and valued his imput and he seemed very knowledgeable when he talked to him before, besides he had lots of books in that room, he must know the answer to his magic question.

 

Ra used Fire Dash

"So far, it seems like i was right to join it. It'll help me get to where i need to go." Aias responded.

Beucette looked around as the room turned to gold and gave an impressed whistle. "Damn son. That thing is cooler than a three-peckered billy goat." Yep. That was a metaphor. "Let me see that. I wanna turn somethin' to gold." She pulled a random object out of her pocket. in fact, if one were to search random object on google images, that would be the first result. Touching it to the hand, it instantly transformed into solid gold. "Right. Getting out of here. Hmm..Well why don't we blow a hole in the ceiling and fly out. What could possibly go wrong?"
​

 

Tessa turned, immediately offering an uncertain smile in an attempt to cover up her anxiety. She had stood awkwardly in the guild hall for god knew how long, trying to work up the courage to ask someone for help. "I'm Tessa." She introduced herself to the dark haired girl, biting her lip after speaking. Nervously, she held out her hand for the new girl to shake. "I'm new here." She clarified unnecessarily, feeling the need to try and make this post longer because she didn't need any more inadequacy in her life.

"You're a member too? Would you be able to point me in the direction of a dragon slayer? I don't know anything about him, but he's supposed to be here...somewhere." As with Skadi and Thea, Tessa felt frustrated at her inability to gather more information. She didn't even have a physical description, and for the life of her she couldn't remember the name that had been given to her.

 

"That'd be great if you could." Leo said. He watched as she dug around in her bag for what he could assume would be the ingredients needed for the motion sickness tonic.

When Quinn had mentioned the Balam Alliance, Zephyr had started to think about it. A pact between 3 of the strongest dark guilds. The fact that there were stronger dark guilds than the ones he's seen wasn't much of a surprise to him. The fact that there was a pact between did was a surprise. With this being the first time he's heard about the Balam Alliance, he had no idea what the three guilds were. However if they were labeled as the three strongest dark guilds, then they would be something to watch out for in the future.

In response to his suggestion, Evanora said that she knew just the place that they could store the flute. Well that sure was handy. The flute was the put into his pocket for the trip back to the guild. Just as he did, Cassandra had some kind of vision before collapsing. Well she certainly wasn't in the best of conditions so her passing out was understandable. As for her vision, well Zephyr had no idea who Mikasa was so that part was just an mystery to him. Maybe he should ask her about it once she woke up.

Once Zephyr had gotten back to the guild hall, he noticed that there weren't all that many people here this time around. Probably because they were still out on whatever mission they had left on. He still didn't have much to do so he figured why not talk to someone that he was just on a mission with. The closest person just happened to be Alessia who was talking to someone herself. Zephyr walked over to two girls and spoke. "Hey, mind if I join in the conversation."

​

Everyone had made it out of the maze despite the water hazard and now they were in a different room, staring at the hand of midas. They were given a closer look thanks to Cal flying them up on her glider that her weapon transformed into. When the issue of getting out was brought up, Alisa didn't really have any idea at the time. So she let the others figure something out.

 

"Alright." Leo replied, looking around the guild hall. The noise in the hall had started to pick up as some of the members who were out on missions returned and started to converse with one another. He had his head turned towards those who had just entered the guild hall just for a bit longer before turning back towards Silvia and watching her work.

 

Once they returned to the guild hall, Quinn sighed. That mission had taken a bit out of him. He needed a breather. Something to take the edge off. At least no one had gotten killed on that mission, though they came pretty damn close against Erigor. If it weren't for that shot he'd gotten in, they may not have won. He trusted Evanora enough to take proper care of Cassandra. Meanwhile, she'd given him the address of a tavern with a party going on at it. He'd been to this place once or twice. He wasn't exactly a regular, but he knew about it, and what kind of place it was.

That could work. The S-class made his way to the Tavern. For some reason, the sound "wapong" entered his head. That sounded like a really random sound effect. Like, for whipping out your dick and slapping it onto the table. That's not even really what that would sound like but that's the image that came with it. Right, hookers. He needed one. Approaching the man who appeared to own the Tavern, he lit a cigarette. "Yo. You run this place? I need a girl." ​
