Tale of the Death God and Holy Dragon Slayer: Book 2

Chapter 24

The next day

Seth (POV)

Announcer- It's day two of the Grand Magic Games and the fans are absolutely exploding with excitement. Let's get back to the action at hand as our wizards take on the chariots.

Grey- Why in the hell did we pick Natsu for this?

Lucy- Yeah you'd think the word chariots would be a big clue even for him.

Erza- He was absolutely insistent on participating.

Elfman- Maybe he thought he was going to fight chariots or something.

Seth- That hardheaded dumbass.

Long story short, after a gutsy performance by Natsu and Gajeel fighting through motion sickness, and a heartfelt speech by Natsu, he came in sixth earning us two points. Gajeel came in seventh and earned one point and Sting from Sabertooth forfeited and got zero points. Afterwards Lucy, Mandy, and I took him to Porlyusica.

Natsu- (sickly and bedridden) Ugh my stomach wants to jump right out of my body.

Seth- Oh come on it was just motion sickness. You're not dying.

Lucy- You sure Natsu will be ok?

Porlyusica- Like Seth said, it's motion sickness. He'll be fine. Stop worrying and let him get some rest.

I look to Wendy who's asleep in the next bed over.

Seth- And Wendy? How's she doing?

Porlyusica- She's coming along nicely.

Mandy- You're up though Carla. Feeling any better?

Carla- Fine thank you.

Lucy- I'm glad to hear that. Hey Seth, the others are waiting. We should get going.

Seth- Yeah. I'll check back later.

Carla (POV)

I watch as Seth, Lucy, and Mandy leave.

Porlyusica- You're not going to say anything to them?

Carla- I just don't think it will do any good. They'd never believe me. Not about a future like that anyway.

Porlyusica- I suppose it's just as well that you don't then. Besides, you don't seem to believe it yourself.

Carla- You're right. I don't believe it. How can I? It's too bizarre to be true. It wasn't a premonition. Just a silly dream.

Carla *mind*- Gods I pray that it was just a dream.

Back to Seth (POV)

We three return to the others and are just in time for the battle portion of the day.

Lucy- Hey guys. Did we miss anything?

Elfman- They've been taking their sweet time.

Grey- They're just about to start. That dog dude is going in for Lyon's guild.

Seth- Who's he facing?

Akuma- A member of Raven Tail.

Seth- Ugh.

Lucy- You know they won't play fair.

With the mention of Fairy Tail, I look over to their team designated area. I catch Flare eyeing down Lucy with a wicked smile. That is until she catches my gaze and that smile is replaced with a look of fear.

Seth *mind*- She covered in even more cuts and bruises than she was yesterday.

Suddenly the guy in the golden armor grabs Flare by her face and lifts her off the ground. I can't make out what he's saying to her but just by seeing this, it gives me all the context clues I need.
