Author's Note: I will be.....um......... Switching some things around in the next few chapters. All I'll do is leave you with this hint. Think about it while reading.

Hint:

Love triangle? More like a love square.

Flames. Screams. The roaring cracks of the fire. These are but some of the things Tobi could hear.

All he could concentrate on was finding his mother through the flames. He couldn't spot her, so he did the unthinkable. He ran straight into the fire.

Being a Phoenix slaying Mage, fire has no effect on him. Her screams has silenced, causing Tobi to panic. Was she dead? No, she couldn't be. Tobi wouldn't believe it. Tobi couldn't believe it.

Kagura had followed Tobi and Erza as they raced towards Tobi's house. As soon as she saw Tobi run into the flames, she started screaming his name. Anything to coax him back out of the making inferno standing before her.

"Tobi! Please, come back!" Kagura shouted. Erza had seen something above them. Whatever it was terrified her. Just the pure, terrified look of her now shrinked pupils told a story.

Suddenly, wind began beating down the flames, suppressing it. Tobi was surprised. What was so powerful that it had the ability to create winds that could withstand the sheer force of the flames?

And suddenly he knew. That force was all too familiar. After all, didn't the creator of the winds teach him his magic?

His mind snapped back to finding his mother. His eyes surveyed the now low lying flames, looking for any sign of her.

"Tobi." Said a familiar voice. It wasn't his mother, but a voice he hadn't heard in years. Tobi turned around to find the almighty Sparan (Spear-an) behind him. Aside from the fact that Sparan had found his mother, Sparan stood out from the humans standing behind him.

Sparan was a Phoenix. A bright blue Phoenix with piercing teal eyes to match. His bright feathers were easy to spot through the flames, and his yellow beak was prominent.

"What are you?" Erza asked as both her and Kagura were now by Tobi's side.

"I am Sparan. The Phoenix that taught Tobi Phoenix Slaying Magic." Sparan's deep voice made the trees themselves shake with fear. Several trees had begun to lose their leaves when he spoke.

"Sparan." Tobi addressed his former master with a formal voice. "Why are you here?"

"I am here to tell you a story, as I used to when you were younger." Sparan announced. "But that can wait. For now, we must move. Your mother has sustained several burns which are in need of immediate care." Sparan then flew into the air, everyone on his back.

Kagura was terrified. Her number one fear was flying. As a result, she ended up gripping onto both Tobi and Erza's arms.

-Later-

"Now what's this story you were talking about?" Tobi asked once his mother was checked in. Of course, Sparan couldn't be seen by other humans so Tobi carried his mother into the hospital.

"I have found Igneel Dragneel." Sparan replied. "Shortly after you departed from the capital, Gildarts Clive accepted a mission to find Igneel. In just two days, he found Igneel being held prisoner by Grimiore Heart. In doing so, Gildarts himself was captured."

"Where are they?" Tobi asked.

"Russia."
