The Golden Fairy

Chapter 11 (Phantom Lord Arc): The Drums of War

Magic Council Ishgar Branch.. Town of Era.. Kingdom of Fiore.. July 25th X784... Midnight time..

In one of the chambers of the Magic Council we could a bright light that appeared in the middle of the room. After it's stared to died down it reveals that it was none other than Ultear, who just teleported herself via a magic device that was given by Grimoire Heart so she could teleport anywhere on Fiore, including her which is hard to locate through normal means.

Not wanting to waste time, the Councilwoman begins to head out of the chamber and starts walking through the hallways of the Magic Council as she makes her way towards Siegrain's chamber, who tends to spend late nights signing paperwork and working on his future plans that involves her. On her way there, Ultear began to remember the conversation she had with Goku earlier today. She didn't know why she spilled most of her secrets to someone she barely met.. But deep inside, it felt right as she didn't have any regrets so far..

However, there was one thing that stand out from that conversation that it was beginning to challenge her revenge ideology..

"I think destiny doesn't chain us down to one path only when in reality humans are allowed to choose and create their own path by themselves and that includes you as well Ultear-san, you can redeem yourself from those sins by carving that new path.."

"Does Son-kun really thinks that a person like me who has been committing sins for my entire life, is allowed to go for the path of redemption?" thought the Arc of Time mage as she sighs tiredly. Even if Goku had a lot faith in her to change for the better, it was too late to make such changes when she's an active member of one of the most dangerous dark guilds in the continent. She has committed too many crimes that were unforgivable and there were plans that needed to be executed "Is unfortunate that the person I'm attracted to is naive to the things I have done, if he finds out what I truly did with Grimoire Heart he would never forgive me..."

As she cuts her train of thoughts, Ultear arrives to Siegrain's chamber and opens the door to see the blue-haired Councilman reading a encyclopedia book from his desk..

"Ultear I didn't expect you to comeback earlier than expected, how was your little trip to Galuna Island..?" asked Siegrain calmly as he keep reading his book, not even bothering to look at her which annoyed the dark-purple haired women..

"Eventful. I've met along the way our future Wizard Saint member doing a mission which consisted of destroying Deliora and lifting the curse of the island.. In which he succeeded in both." responded Ultear in a neutral tone towards Siegrain who closed his book and sighed in disappointed..

"I shouldn't be surprised that Son Goku was able to destroy Deliora easily, he is currently one of the strongest mages in Fairy Tail after all." stated Siegrain as he stands up from his desk and walks towards the nearest window "Either way, having Deliora on our side would have benefited in achieving our goals"

"Not only Son-kun is strong, but he was able to humiliate a Demon like Deliora with just hand-to-hand combat. His raw strength is enough to split the sky and the ocean along with Deliora. I tried to gauge his power but he took me down with a single move, I knew at that moment that even if I used my full power as a Arc of Time mage I would end up losing.." explained the Arc of Time mage as she remembers watching Goku's fight with Deliora through her crystal ball, if that's the strength that Goku wields when he's not holding back than that was enough confirmation that she would not win against him..

And that's not mentioning the energy wave he released to completely erase the Demon..

"So at the end of the day, Son Goku was able to finish the job Ur Milkovich couldn't.." said the blue-haired Councilman as he then looks at Ultear with a neutral expression "You know if your biological mother was alive she would have become a Wizard Saint thanks to her proficiency with Ice magic. And yet Son Goku is stronger than her with just using hand-to-hand, that tells me he could be at the level of the Four Gods of Ishgar or even beyond and that's not good for our plans if he intervenes.."
