"You are in good health, I suppose your magic just momentarily flared up." Porylusica said, giving Galatea the one over. "Now GET OUT!"

"Thank you." Galatea said, getting up and making her way out of the infirmary.

To her surprise, Laxus was waiting outside of the infirmary. She walked over to the blonde, who was leaning against the wall with his eyes closed.

"What are you doing here?" Galatea asked.

Laxus opened his eyes to see her standing in front of him, looking at him curiously.

"Waiting for you." Laxus said, "Everyone's already left so I didn't want to leave you behind."

Galatea smiled, feeling slightly warm inside. She didn't know why, but the idea that he waited around for her made her feel really happy.

"Thanks." Galatea said, "Would you mind if got something to eat?"

"No problem. Do you want anything in particular?" Laxus asked.

"Nothing in particular." Galatea said, "Whatever is convenient."

The two wandered out of the arena, and ended up stopping at food stand selling yakitori. The dragonslayers walked through the city aimlessly, until they found an archway to stop at.

Galatea watched the sun setting with a smile on her face, blissfully unaware of the blonde looking at her. Much like Galatea, Laxus had a (small) smile on his face, though he wasn't staring at the sun, he was looking at the woman next to him.

"There you two are."

The two dragonslayers looked back to see Master Makarov approaching the two.

"Hey Gramps." Laxus said.

"Hi Master. Were you looking for us?" Galatea questioned.

"Yes. No one knew where you two went." Makarov said.

"I had to get checked by Porylusica and Laxus was waiting for me. We got some food and wandered around for a bit before coming here." Galatea explained to the Master, "The change from day to night is always so pretty."

Makarov nodded. A silence fell over the group before Laxus spoke up.

"Gramps." The blonde said, looking at his grandfather. "What's the Lumen Histoire?"

"You heard this from Ivan?" Makarov asked.

"Heard about it? All I know is he wanted it badly."

"That brat will be the end of me..."

Galatea looked between the two Dreyar men, curious and slightly confused.

"He called it 'Fairy Tail's Darkness'." Laxus said.

Makarov stayed silent, and Galatea looked at the old man, puzzled. She couldn't imagine Fairy Tail having a dark side, but then again, there was a dark side to everything, something that Galatea shouldn't forget.

"It's not darkness."

Galatea's eyes snapped to the First Master, who was walking their way.

"First Master!"

"Lumen Histoire..." Mavis said, "That's our guild's light."

The female dragonslayer looked at the First Master curiously, even more intrigued now.

"First Master, you mustn't!" Makarov warned.

"I know." Mavis reassured Makarov, "Only the master of this guild has the right to know about it. Laxus, Galatea, do you understand?"
