/N: Fairy Tail belongs to Hiro Mashima. Magi belongs to Shinobu Ohtaka

Chapter 6

Magic King in New World

On the eastern plains, more precisely in Kou Empire capital city, Rakushou.

On the house that seems unfit to stay upon, he was groaned, awaking from unconsciousness. The last he remembered is seeing his mother and cancelling his Ars Magia, not wanting to see his mother being suffer anymore.

So now, why's there a hand that touched his forehead? He should be dead by now. Ars Magia is a powerful Magic that costs the user life once being used. Could it be he's now in the afterlife? Maybe not. Everything feels real.

August, the one that once known as Magic King, Disaster, and the leading general of Spriggan 12, quickly open his eyes to see someone touch his forehead.

She was a young woman with shoulder-length red hair and matching eyes that wears some classic Chinese robes, although being dirty from dirt and water. Her face clearly shows some sign of exhaustion. "Ah. Glad you already awake." She said.

August however, just look at his surrounding. 'Where am I? Am I died? Did his majesty managed to get Fairy Heart?' The thought keep racing in his head.

"Umm...old man? Are you okay?" Ask the woman.

August then look at the woman. "Where is this exactly?" He asked. He don't know his location for now. And from the looks of it, this woman is the one that took care for him.

"This is Kou Empire." The woman said. "I found you not far from my house in battered form. Then, I take care of you because there's no one that cares about it."

Back to Irene and Dunya. The two now grew more closer after Irene told her past to Dunya. The former princess now look at Irene as her mother figure and even call her mother. Dunya currently on training to deflect Irene Magic Ball. She now showing some improvement by being able to deflecting each of her Magic Ball.

"That's it." Irene said as she stopped her Magic Ball Barrage. "Well done Dunya. Your body now is more stronger than before. The only thing now is to train your Lightning Magic and able to absorbing Ethernano without the need of meditating." She explain the result.

"If that so... I'm glad." Dunya said while panting. "That means... I'm ready to learn Enchant?"

Irene shook her head. "Not yet. You must master the Magic that fits with you first. Then, you can bother to learn the others." She explain.

The scene then changed at night. Irene currently are finishing hunting a deer, which she already cut into meat. "Dunya." She called. "Time to eat."

Dunya, who currently practicing to shoot a branch using her Lightning Magic, hears it. "I'll go there! Wait mum!" She said as she run to Irene location.

Irene later cooked the deer meat using fire-camp. After it was cooked enough, she give a piece of it to Dunya. Dunya gladly received it.

"Sorry for keep eating this. I don't know much about plants in here since I came from different dimension, so animal is the safer choice for you." Irene apologized.

"Its okay mum. At least we'll able to eat." Dunya not mind about keep eating meat. "Say mum..."

"Hm?"

"If somehow... Your daughter is in here... What will you do?" Dunya asked. She still curious about what Irene will do if Erza is somehow in here, because Irene keep her distance from her daughter to avoid being controlled by her selfish desire.

"Maybe... The fist thing I'll do... Is ask for forgiveness." Irene replied. "But... I don't know how she'll react..."

"I see." Dunya quickly dismissing the topic, cause it was sensitive for Irene. "By the way... What will we do tomorrow?"

"The next day? I'll teach you basic weapon use." Irene replied. "Expect to sleep well this night."

For August, he tried to lived on in this Kou Empire along with the woman, now she knew named Fangfeng. From the air, he's already know this world is not the world he lived before.

From what she got from Fangfeng, Kou Empire is a recently growing empire after it subjugated two neighboring countries. It is rumored it was because the help of so called Magician and Oracle that Kou able to grow this big. He also learn about their household leader, the Ren, who's the ruling families for centuries.

But after seeing the conditions of the slum, August can only conclude one things.

The empire too focused on expanding their empire, making the poor people is thrown away like rat.

This is not happens in his time on Alvarez Empire. His Majesty take care of his people. As such he's respected so much by them. Many of Spriggan 12 also comes from low-class. In fact, the emperor himself also from lower class. Although Zeref also doing expansion of his empire, he still watch for his people condition.

Although one thing he's glad for, The general of Spriggan 12 still able to use his tremendous Magic Power. He now wearing his Spriggan 12 outfit using Requip. He also carried his trademark staff.

"Mr. August." Called Fangfeng.

"What is it?" August turn to her.

"I want to introduce you to my child." Fangfeng said, a hand is later seen emerge from behind her. "C'mon Kougyoku, don't be afraid..."

And after she said that, a small girl, just seven years old, emerged. She has jade eyes and magenta hair that reached her waist but very messy. She wears a simple Chinese dress like her mother. "H-hello..."

August watch the girl carefully. 'This girl... Despite her personality... I can see a great potential on her as a fighter and leader. Her power... Is terrifying.' August thought while widen his eyes not believe that such petite girl had so much potential. "Seems she's afraid of me." He said with blank look.

"C'mon Kougyoku." Fangfeng persuaded her daughter.

After some attempts, Kougyoku finally brave enough to look at the menacing Magic King. "H-hello... My name is Kougyoku R-"

"Don't say that." Fangfeng quickly closed her mouth. "I'm sorry Mr. August. She's a crybaby like you see."

"No. Its okay." August replied. 'I felt pity if a child with such huge potential live on a place like this. However, strange... Kougyoku R... That can only meant... I see...' He finally realized one thing.

Kougyoku was a member of royal family, and her mother seems is some commoners that being married off to the royal families.

"Thanks for what you did to me, Ms. Fangfeng. However, I must go to explore the city now." August said.

Fangfeng nodded. "If you don't have any places to stay... You can return here whenever you like." She offered.

August then turn and walk away from the house. One thing is certain, this world is not his. Its not wise to disturb the flow of the other world. However, he's now the part of it, and must tried to whether he liked it or not. At least the first thing he must do is getting knowledge about this world.

"Um... Mr..." Kougyoku called.

August stopped walking.

"Um... I-if you... Don't-" Kougyoku stuttered to speak due to her shyness.

"You want me to return here?" August guessed.

The one trait that August had is his kind heart. Maybe it was pass down by his mother Mavis. His kindness is so much that one Shields found it amusing.

However, August then sensed a familiar energy of the said person.

"This Magical Power... Irene..." August didn't expect his fellow Shields also in here.

"Irene... Who's that?" Fangfeng don't recognize the name that August speak of.

"Nothing." August replied. "Very well. I'll stay in here for awhile... But, I need your help to get access the library of this empire." He said his condition.

Back to Irene, the latter now teaching Dunya some spear-fighting using spear that Irene had from her Requip. Dunya still train basic stabbing movement for now. That's when she felt August Magical Power.

"That's good." Irene praised. 'I see. Seems you also thrown to this world too... Mr. August.' She thought.

Dunya then swiped her sweat. "Thanks mum. I actually got some training from father general. Although I very much skipped it." Dunya said. She's now able to move from her past shown by her feeling of uneasiness is only seeing slightly when she remembering the time she was trained.

Suddenly the spear in her hand is disappeared. "Eh!? Where'd it go?"

"I take it back." Irene revealed. "Since seems you favor spear more than swords or staff, lets search a personal perfect spear for you. And... It seems one of my comrades also thrown in here." Irene said, since she doesn't want to lie to Dunya anymore.

"Your comrades? I see. One of twelve groups of powerful Magician of Alvarez Empire, including yourself." Dunya confused at first but remembering Irene explanation.

"But it seems he won't go here. He's far in the east." Irene said while still sensing August presence. "And yes. Before I forgot." Irene then zaps Dunya, return her outfit to her previous outfit. She then smiled. "That's the reward. Congratulations Dunya, for being able to avoid my attacks."

Dunya feel flushed being praised by her. "Umm... Thanks."

"Now." Irene then stand up from her sit on a rock. "Lets search some weapons."

The scene then changed to a grassy plains. Irene and Dunya are walking while also feeling the breeze of the wind.

"Ms. Irene? I know we search a weapon? But, should we not go to Aktia Kingdom instead?" Dunya asked. Why'd Irene didn't go to Aktia Kingdom if just searching weapon for her?

"The best weapon is got from the best source." Irene simply replied. "Well... We're arrived."

Dunya then stopped and horrified by what she saw. Irene escort her to search a weapon on a former battlefield. It was seen from many weapons and bones that scattered on the field. She must hold herself from puke.

"To be strong, the first thing you must adapt to is seeing something like this. If you make your enemy bleed and had fear because of it, it will be your downfall." Irene explained as both of them walking through the plains.

Dunya meanwhile don't understand Irene mindset. If she want her to adapt seeing blood, is not being escort to a place like this isn't it?

"Ah. There." Irene then saw a spear that was stabbed on the ground. Using Telekinesis, she make the spear float to her hand and grab it. "The quality seems good." She analyzed the spear condition.

"Mum... I'm sorry. But... I can't stand being in this place anymore." Dunya said feeling not well.

"Fine. After all, we already found what we seek." Irene said while brandishing the spear.

Now we back to the Kou Empire. August are currently take care of Kougyoku. The little girl is still to shy and afraid to talk to him. Fangfeng is currently out searching for food.

August mind currently is curious about the relationship of Kougyoku and Fangfeng. The question that he asked to Gildarts still ringed on his mind.

Why was his Majesty child isn't loved?

Although he himself know he was Zeref biological son, he's to afraid to tell the truth to him until the day he dies. That was his only regret in life. Served him as a loyal general is more than enough for him.

"Say Kougyoku." August began to spoke.

Kougyoku flinch hearing August speak.

Seeing her reaction, August sighed. "Just forget it."

"You know Mr. August. If your face keep like that, no one will brave enough to talk to you." Teased Fangfeng who return from her search for food. On her hands, only seen some vegetables.

'Poor family.' August feel pitied for them. "Is that what you only got?"

Fangfeng hated to admit it. "Yes. You see, in this empire... Slum people like us must work hard for survival..." She said.

"I see." August said. "Seems the emperor in here too busy expanding his territories, so his own people not watched by him."

Kougyoku was shocked that August criticized Emperor Hakutoku. Of course she know the emperor. She only saw him when she's still three years old. Her mother being banished from the imperial palace by the emperor brother, Koutoku, to make his embarrassment of marrying a lowly courtesan vanished. 'I... I wish I can brave... Like mother... Like Mr. August...' She thought with determination.

"If that the case. I'll search for food too. At least that's my gratitude for you take care an old man like me." August said with usual neutral tone. He then stand up and starting to walk out from the house again. Before get out from the house, he turn to Fangfeng. "By the way Fangfeng. Do you already knows how to access the library?"

"I know." Fangfeng said. "Unfortunately... I can't do that. My rights to enter being stripped since I and Kougyoku being banished." She said with sad tone.

August feels a bit disappointed. Yet he continue his walking to the outside searching for something to eat.

Now, we go to the western part of the world. On it, stands another huge empire that being a superpower for the last two hundred years. It was the Leam Empire.

On a room that appears to be like a throne, a woman is seen sitting on a chair that looks like a throne. She was a young female of a short stature. She has big blue eyes that are usually closed. She has long blonde, wavy hair with two braids in the back that reaches down to her ankles with a laurel wreath of grapes and vines around the left and right side of her head. Her attire consists of a long white robe that looks similar to a stola, with loose short sleeves over her shoulders that are secured by a round fibula, and a long red ribbon tied under her bust. This is the Magi of Leam and its High Priest, Scheherazade, also known as Sacerdos Maxima.

For the last few days, she sensing an unusual flow of energy. Little did she knows, it was the energy of Irene and August respectively.

"Ms. Scheherazade." A young man voice called. He was a muscular teen with long red hair and distinctive eyes. He wears a metal cuirass, shoulder plates, a metal skirt, shin guards, sandals, and a large sword that he carries at his waist. "From the last few days... You seems worried about something?" He asked.

Scheherazade look at him. "Its okay. Muu Alexius." She said. "I just being wary about the east. Recently, a new empire named Kou starting to expand their border to the west. Maybe its only a matter of time."

Muu eyes later turn fierce. "If that's what you worried about. Don't worry anymore. I'll be your sword and protect Leam Empire from any invaders." He said.

Scheherazade then patting his head, causing Muu to blush. "Um... Ms. Scheherazade?"

"Didn't I tell you Muu? I more like you smiling." She said. "Now then. I think you should go. After all, you still search for them, do you?" She asked.

"Yes." Muu replied. "If I may excuse." Muu then stand up and leave the room.

After Muu leaves, Scheherazade sighed. "So... What the needs of you to come here. Wandering Magi, Yunan?"

"I see. Then I had no need to hide myself." Yunan said while jump down from the roof of Scheherazade room. Seems he already in here for some time. "Hello Scheherazade. Its been a long time."

"The same for you. Although I can't never understand your decision of not choosing any King Vessel." Scheherazade replied the greeting. "You knows what I feels?"

"The thing about a strange energy?" Yunan guessed. "Yes. I already meet the source. And... She was a Magician. However, a Magician with power I've never seen before. Even during warm up... She managed to outclass me, a Magi." Yunan revealed his clash with Irene.

"Magician... With a caliber of Magi? That's impossible." Scheherazade denied such thing.

"That's why, as a fellow Magi who lived for a long time. I think you deserve to know something." Yunan said. "Its about that woman, and the danger that threat Leam Empire, no, the entire world."

AUTHOR NOTES

And that's it for this chapter! So August is thrown to the Kou Empire, and now lived with Kougyoku and her mother. What will he do? And when he met with Irene? I think that's left to be seen.

By the way, Kougyoku mother name and appearance is never revealed by Ohtaka. She was only known as lowly courtesan, that's why I make an OC character: Fangfeng.

As for the reader confused why Kougyoku is living in the slums, don't forget that she used to lived there with her mother and moved to palace after Emperor Hakutoku with his two eldest son is murdered by Al-Thamen. In my story, it will happens a few months later, and I plan to make August had a big part later in the Kou Empire. Don't worry though, Kougyoku will still had her Djiin, and I don't plan her to learn Magic. But maybe she will in the future. And for the other Ren... Well just follow the story.

Any critics thus far? You can put it on the review
