/Fairy tail\

Erza and Mira sat at the bar with solemn faces, they were silent as the rest of the guild was their usually obnoxious selves. They were thinking about the experience they had in hargeon. That Lucy character was stupid powerful and Sayla was on an even higher level. Nothing made sense, the guild the fallen angel and the the demon belonged to was now a rising threat.

"Hey Mira-nee" Mira looked up to see her little sister, Lisanna behind the counter with a glass mug in her hands.

"Hey Lis" Mira greeted with a fake smile. Lisanna didn't notice it but their Master in the background narrowed his eyes.

"You guys are usually in the fight with the rest of the guild, something bothering you two?" Lisanna asked as she nodded towards the silent Erza.

"Oh nothing, just not feeling great today" Mira smiled.

"ERZA, MIRA!" Said mage's turned to see their master standing up from his counter spot. They looked at their master as he gestured them to follow him and they stood up.

"I'll see you at him Lis, Elfman" She said as she walked off.

Lisanna nodded her head as she waved while Elfman watched with narrowed eyes, he knew something was up.

/Markarov's office\

"So, your last mission. How did it go?" He asked.

"It went great, it was to bad we didn't get paid though" Erza said with another fake smile.

"Cut the shit you two" Markarov commanded causing the two girls to look at him in shock.

"Sorry?" Mira questioned.

"Your fake smiles piss me off, what happened on your mission?" Markarov said as he looked up at them with a half mad half annoyed look on his face.

Mira and Erza looked at him with shock before they both sighed in defeat and told him what happened exactly.

(time skip after explanation)

"I see, this is troubling" Markarov said.

"Yea, we are extremely troubled by this group. And for those two to have a master? What kind of monster would they be?" Erza questioned.

"I think I may be able to help with that" Markarov said shocking the two.

"What do you mean?" Mirajane asked.

"The firsts journal spoke of her first encounter with the black wizard Zeref and how he was in tears. Tears for a friend and his little brother" Markarov said shocking the two.

"What?!" Mira yelled shocked.

"Zeref had a brother?" Erza asked.

"Yes, he reportedly died from a magical creature attack. But the journal has something else, it mentions the coming of the Demon Guild, Tartaros" Markarov said.

"Your saying the guild we faced is that old?" Mira asked.

"No, it was a warning from Zeref to master Mavis when Zeref disappeared to the west. No one knows what happened to him, he warned of his demise by the hands of his Etherious and their allies. And how it will lead to the destruction of guilds" He said.

"But, why? Their must be some motivation?" Mira asked.

"No one has seen Etherious in years, the last one was Deliora and it was killed by Grays teacher, Ur. But this Etherious Lucy Dragneel is a sign of things to come, we need to make sure that we are on guard at all times" Markarov said with worry in his voice.

"What would you have us do?" Erza asked.

"There's a rumour that the death flute, Lullaby has been found by the dark guild Eisenwald. I've sent Gray ahead to scope the situation. Go and meet with him and destroy any plans they have for the demon flute" He said.

"And you? What will you do?" Mira asked causing their master to shrink down.

"I have a meeting" He growled making the two s-class mages sweat drop.

/With Lucy\

Lucy grumbled as she and Jackal walked side by side towards Oshibana, where they would intercept Eisenwald.

"I hate Kyouka so much" Lucy said as she rubbed her butt.

"Sayla told me she found you in quite the state yesterday morning. What did she do to you?" Jackal asked.

"All kinds of weird things, it felt so good and hurt like bitch at the same time" She said.

"Jezz" Jackal said scratching behind one of his ears.

"And to top it all off, Sayla and Natsu wouldn't stop last night so I barely got a wink of sleep" Lucy vented.

"Okay! To much info!" Jackal said.

"So, you want to take care of erigor?" Lucy offered.

"Are you sure? I mean, wouldn't you want to do it?" Jackal asked.

"I would, but I don't care enough to handle the master of some weak guild. He would just be annoying" Lucy said.

"Well alright then" Jackal smirked as he and his queen kept walking forward.

"Oh and if we run into a legal guild mage?" Jackal asked.

Lucy didn't say anything but stopped in front of Jackal and smiled a wicked smile that sent shivers down jackals spine before he got it and smirked back before laughing like a wild hyena.
