After Jellal left his office, you regulated your breath. As you did so, you buttoned your pants again.

"What is it, Jody?" You heard Jellal's irritated tone from outside. Walking around his darkly stained desk, you make your way to the large window. The white certains partially see through but also had designs on it's ends that didn't quite touch the floor. Pushing it aside you look to see a lot of Jellal's workers crowded around a large crate. "What am I looking at?" He folded his arms across his chest. You couldn't help but to notice his outfit. His Sleeveless black shirt hugged his muscular torso perfectly. As you looked at him, you didn't notice the whole reason he was out there. "Oh shit..." You pulled your attention to a hand full of broken pieces.

"I'm sorry sir.. I had dropped them while you were in your office." A very tall man bowed, no, cowerd before Jellal despite his own physical advances.

You watched in awe as Jellal's magic energy rose. "You dropped them?" He practically spoke through his teeth. Before you could look between the man and the worker, you heard an eerie sound of bone shattering.

"Give him to the sharks." You slowly cover your mouth as the group lifted their limp comrade up, layed him across railing, and through great reluctance and even greater sadness, pushed him over the side. They all stood, a half a dozen, watching the worker slowely sink through the water. You shook as you continued to watch them. Though before he was completely submerged, the shutters slammed closed.

The door flew open behind you. You felt just as you did the night those wizards were looking for you. "Damn incompetent peasant." Jellal mumbled as he closed the door behind him and sat in his chair. "I apologize."

You walk wobbly to the front of his desk. "F...for what?" You cringed at your own stutter.

"Having to witness that horrible scene. If I had known you were watching, I would have taken that selse where." Your eyes lock on him. He ran his hand through his hair before leaning forward in his chair. For the first time, you noticed a fire that ignited just within is eyes. Looking up at you, He opened his mouth to speak but a cannon fired and the ship set sail.
