*Erik's POV (basically happened same time as last CH)

After basically being torn away from my old friend, the magic council members slapped magic sealing cuffs on me but it didn't stop my mind reading magic as I could still hear everyone's thoughts as well as her making a promise to me in her head so no one but me would hear it 'I'll come visit you soon, I promise' I smiled a little at the fact that she never forgot about me or our friendship before being forcefully pushed into an armoured truck that would drive me to my cell.

Once we got to the building, they walked into the back of the truck and put a blindfold on me, "seriously? A blindfold?" I asked, getting a grumble in response "mandatory" before feeling them tug on the chains that are connected to my cuffs. We went down several long hallways and took a few turns before they took off my blindfold for me to see a cell, "Maximum security? I'm honoured" I spat at the guards before I was thrown into the cell "have fun cuz you're staying here for the rest of your life" the guards laughed walking away.

Being with my old friend brought back memories, good ones such as the time she helped me silence the voices of people's thoughts in my head and whenever she helped me fall asleep with the guarantee that she'd still be there when I woke up and bad ones where she'd take the beating for us whenever the guards wanted to torture us and when I lost her in the crowd of rampaging people who were desperate to leave that place. I'd thought I lost her forever and that she'd died but I was wrong. Seeing her happy and alive was enough to reawaken those weird tingly feelings and it was enough to make me happy.

When I was younger I used to ask the adults in our cell about what these feelings meant, the only thing they told me was that something magical was happening and that I should cherish this 'special person' but when I tried to get more information the only answer brain gave me was that 'feelings are a sign of weakness, they are useless and therefore you must ignore all of these feelings'. My head is telling me one thing, but my heart is telling me the other, which one do I listen to? Should I even listen at all?.

I sat with my head on my hand, trying to solve an old problem that had been re-summoned by peculiar feelings about my blonde female friend.

*Lily's POV*

I was currently sat in master's office with my brother beside me as he explained the situation to our grandfather, "Lily, do you understand what you're asking of me?" I nodded, "Gramps please can we try?" I shyly ask master makarov for permission to see my soulmate and hopefully establish a rehabilitation plan for him. Makarov sighed, saying no to his granddaughter was never easy for him.

"Fine, however you can't just waltz up there and demand to see him, it needs to be discussed with the council before anything else" he said making sure I understood that I couldn't see him right now but soon "I understand gramps" I said as he dismissed me from his office. I went back downstairs to talk to Mira and get a drink.

*3rd POV (back in the office)*

"Do you think it'll actually work, gramps?" Laxus shared a look with makarov "for her sake, I hope so my boy. I hate to imagine what would happen if it doesn't work"
