I can feel it. The power which radiated off of the under construction tower was impressive. It was as though it had a heart beat. Each pound was like an odd electric shock. "What is that?" You continue to stare at the tower.

"It's my master peice." His voice was as smooth as it has been since you first met him. "I've been working on it since that indecent slug salamander destroyed it. I just needed some more...puppets." his voice was still gentle and polite as it always has been.

You recall the friendly pink haired boy from the guild. His big toothy smiles, his always outgoing nature. Who knew he could hold such destructive power?

You feel a warm hand on your shoulder. Looking away from the tower, you see Jellal's beautiful face. "You will help me gather materials, wont you?" Again, it was like a spell. You hung on every word as though it was law. You nod. "Thank you." His words were muffled by the sound of thunder.

It didn't take long to get to the tower. In fact, it took longer to get the people off of the ship. Looking in the faces of those in shackles was unsettling. Your heart ached as you saw younger children, babies even, being escorted in to the building. "Why do you need--"

"Don't plague your precious mind with such non-importants." He looks over his should at you. His smile was breath taking. His sheer beauty could blind someone.

Again, a wait was to be expected. It was a bit of time to take them to cells across the tower. Their antimagic cuffs rattling as they walked up the stairs, shuffled across floors, and some were even trying to break them.

Off in the corner you see a man of about 30. His face showed his pain. By what you could tell, his arm was broken.

While watching, you can feel arms wrap around you. "Get rid of him. He'll be useless in such a condition." His breath was warm against your ear, causing you to shiver. Before you could think, his lips found your skin and everything was muffled. Your emotions? Trapped in an irretrievable glass jar in the back of your mind.

The thunder roared as you walked toward him. His eyes full of terror as you approached. Within the blink of an eye, your victim had been claimed.
