"There doesn't seem to be anything unusual."

"Are you sure?"

"Listen, if you are going to doubt my medical examinations then you shouldn't ever come back crawling to me! It's not like I would lose anything!"

Gray shrunk under Porlyusica's glare, his eyes drifting away to avoid hers. Next to him, Karissa simply looked into the mirror past the Fairy Tail medic to look at her reflection carefully. And slowly, her right hand lifted up to her face and her fingers gingerly touched the skin under her right eye.

It was the morning following the dragons' rampage.

Miraculously, everyone who participated in fighting against the dragons survived. According to everyone who recounted their experience in short sentences, a single omen of a nearby death turned the tide of battle against the dragons. That kind of omen was the reason for having Porlyusica examine Karissa's eyes with Gray by her side.

Her eyes had a drastic change right after the vision of Gray and Clavis' deaths.

Gone were the pure white and replaced with pools of black along with eerie glowing purple engulfing the dark brown orbs. With that change came the ability to somehow nullify the magic coming from the dragons.

Gray took notice of Karissa staring at her reflection. He exchanged a concerned look with her when she caught him staring at her through the mirror. Her hand dropped on her lap and then found itself with her other to interlace her fingers together while she smiled a little with a quick shrug.

They were both confused.

...

...

...

Gray stood still in shock as he watched Karissa easily deal with the small dragons as if they were nothing. He was sure he wasn't the only one feeling the sudden surge of magic power coming from her body. Her hair was flying everywhere as she took a leap into a powerful swirling tempest that shot her body up into the sky, leaving her airborne.

Perhaps the dragons could sense that she was a threat, because they no longer bared their fangs at Clavis, Lyon, Meldy or Juvia.

"Karissa!" Gray shouted concerned for her wellbeing. He and Lyon were getting ready to freeze the dragons to save her.

There it was again.

A wave of purple came crashing down, a harmless shockwave that stunned the dragons and left them confused when their magic ceased. Juvia and Meldy tore their gaze away from the dragons when they realized they couldn't attack.

Then came the purple eyed beast.

Powerful wind generated behind Karissa, swirling and hissing, almost like an invisible creature getting ready to bite into the throats of the dragons.

With a single stroke of her arm downward, the wind whirred as it flew at the dragons and slammed them face first into the ground. None of her allies were affected despite nearby dragons collapsing next to them, squirming and letting out sounds that sounded quite a lot like chirping and screeching.

Juvia's eyes widened when she could hear the cracking.

Clavis could recognize that sound. That merciless crushing sound he had been making thanks to his magic.

Meldy and Lyon stole a glance at Karissa's face.

The chirping and screeches got louder.

She had that look. The look of someone who was superior and was willing to do the most to prove it.

"Die."
