The Sea Serpent of the North

11

A/N: Chapter 11 had to be reuploaded bc I accidentally uploaded the wrong chapter into chapter 11. 

 Its been a couple minutes of us waiting for levy to figure out a well to de-spell the enchantment. Levy asked that either me or Gajeel would carry Bisca to the infirmary and I offered to do so. Plus I needed to talk to the master alone for a moment. It wasn't a struggle to carry her, but I was moving gently so as to not cause any more pain. Mira wasnt in the room at that time, as someone told her what had happened to Bisca, having gone to get extra supplies to deal with the burns before leaving too...

'I cant believe the master is asking me of this, and he only had enough strength to say a couple of words before passing out again.' I feel myself sigh out from my spot on the bar, taking sips from the jug I had left on the ground. I close my eyes for a moment feeling the magic energy swirl around like a raging ocean in a storm. I try to relax myself and the magic, silently meditating. I feel it calm down a bit, just enough that it wont get out of control. 'My magic energy has also gotten a bit unstable since eating that ethernano.' I muse as I open my eyes and turn my head towards Levy seeing Gajeel watch her in a sort of squat in curiosity. I snort a bit at the obvious interest he's starting to develop, not even hiding it. I don't bother to listen in to them, as I turn my eyes to the door where Natsu is still banging onto the enchantment.

'That look on his face...' I think as he glares at nothing while mumbling to himself. 'Its been a while since his face has gotten that serious since at the top of the tower of Heaven.' I feel the Magic start to stir up again at the thought of what had happened there. I don't get time to try and calm it down again as the enchantment goes off in that moment.

Natsu had stopped what he was doing, staring up at it in curiosity before it switched into absolute anger at what he'd read. That puts me on alert as I quickly chug the water while getting up and speed walking towards the entrance, throwing the jug away once it was empty. At that moment Id finally reached him, being able to read the words properly.

Lucy vs Bixlow, I feel myself tense up, knowing that we cant do anything to help. I keep and eye on Natsu as he starts to shake a bit, "It's okay salamander, we both know she can easily deal with him." I put a hand on his head forcing him to look at me. I try to give him a grin to reassure him even though i feel just on edge as he does. He looks me in the eyes, searching for something before giving me a nod. Relaxing a bit before sitting down on the ground cross legged, I follow in his movements, staring at the enchantment waiting for it to update on the results of the fight. It only takes a couple minutes before it starts to update, forcing the both of us to stand. We hear as Gajeel also walks up right as it finishes updating. Winner Lucy. Are the words we all read, allowing Natu and eye to relax and share a grin of proudness.

"Woah, Lucy kicked his butt." He stated proudly, "I knew she could do it, see." I tell natsu agreeing with his words. "No way!" Gajeel yells out in shock, "That little princess can actually fight!" He adds on.

"Yeah, shes tough as nails" Natsu replies, as I hum in agreement with him. "Ive seen her fight, shes quite the mage contrary to what a person would assume."

I turn my head ignoring the arguing from Natsu and Gajeel, looking at Levy before walking up to her. So i dont get pulled into it, knowing that the metal head will try. I tilt my head as Levy starts to mumble to herself, while stuck on a problem. I dont bother to speak to her, letting her do her thing before she quickly looks up. "Thats it!" She yells, scaring Natsu and Gajeel from the outburst. I raise an eyebrow at her in question, "I need to look at these two grammar styles, like the tortoise and the hare and translate them at two different rates." She rants while writing, 'what?' I ask myself, completely lost. I dont bother trying to understand her rant, but watch on in hope.
