Haru P.O.V

From that high ledge, it took the duo knights a long time to get to our ground level. When they arrived however, the man in armour introduces himself to the others, "I am Colonel Arcadios, leader of the sacred Cherry Blossom Knights. Crocus Garrison force of the Fiore royal army. It is an honour, Emperor Haru, for you to recognize me..."

Then it is Yukino's turn, "And I am Yukino Agria, acting Sergeant in the Cherry Blossom Knights-" With her arms behind her back.

Some of the Fairy Tail members asks questions to Yukino as to how she even joined the army. She then answers them, "Yes, in a manner of speaking."

She then turns to me, "Haru what do you mean by <you could sense me>?" She speaks in her normal soft tone.

"I could sense your heartbeats..." I lied, but show a small smile to comfort her, suddenly her face suddenly turns into a shade of red. At least that monster is no more, Jiemma is long gone, away from Sabertooth.

Arcadios than walks forward, over to me and asks, "Sir Haru, what do you mean by I was lying?"

I than turn to him, "Like what Zirconis the Jade Dragon has said, Acnologia practised Dragon Slayer Magic. He was once a human before he turned into that destructive menace. Even if he is from the Books of Zeref, his blood should be different altogether." I explained him which led him to sweatdropping in confusion.

In the end, I find it meaningless to explain to him.

He than takes a deep breath and starts to speak, "Please allow me to clarify. For the past several years I've been working on a highly classified project, but its success requires the power only a Celestial Wizard can supply. Luckily Sargent Yukino is able to lend her assistance in this undertaking..."

'But in order for one to activate the Eclipse Gate, they need the gate itself, and 12 of the Zodiac Keys...' I than glance at Lucy who is behind Gray, stuck on holding his upper arm, '...Yukino has 2 of them... Lucy has the rest which means...'

Arcadios explains the Eclipse Project which is to assasinate the Black Wizard Zeref before he becomes what he is today. Little did he know that if Zeref were to die, the outcome of the Present and Future will alter altogether.

From the Dragon's Graveyard, we were directed to the Luminarian Palace, King of Fiore's home. Many were in awe of the palace, but I have seen more bigger places than this. We followed Arcadios all the way to the Eclipse Gate located underground. While walking, he even apologised to Lucy for the attempt on kidnapping her.

The moment we reached to the Eclipse Gate many were surprised but not me, 'If they were to kill Zeref, everything we know and love will cease to exist. Not to mention the Royal family has already broken more than 30 Laws of the Magic Council...' I try not to release my anger on Arcadios.

Suddenly, the sound of multiple footsteps are getting louder generating from the dark hallway behind us. Soon multiple Royal Guards arrived and quickly surrounded us. They even pointed their spears at Arcadios and Yukino.

A Guard yells at us as we all are back to back, "Stay right where you are!"

Wendy widens her eyes, "Royal Soldiers?!"

Carla yells at them, "We're doing nothing wrong!"

A voice appears from the group of knights, "It'll be wise of you to surrender quietly before things get messy, Colonel Arcadios."

"Defense Minister Darton! What is the meaning of this?!" Arcadios asks him with a raised voice.

Everyone is getting into a heated argument of not using this Eclipse. At least this Defence Minister is fighting for the right thing, "The Defense Minister is right. If anybody were to go into the past and kill Zeref, they could end up wiping all of us from existence..."
 
"No way Haru, you gotta be joking..." Natsu stares at me with disbelief eyes.
