The Bluenettes of Sabertooth : Volume II

Chapter 25: Must I Stay?

Lisa leaned her head on the icy tower with Nate up against her side as they watched the thundering sky above. Oddly enough the rain did not reach them, it stopped further above protecting them from a painful fate. 

"Everyone in your family uses dragon magic, yes?" Symphony, who was sitting beside the two children, asked.

"Yeah...I guess" Nate mumbled "I'm not sure about Persephone though"

"Oh, she does" Lisa informed "I remember when I went to go train my healing magic with Levy, there she was with Juvia practicing her shadow dragon slayer magic!"

"Seriously? That would explain why her hair is getting darker" Nate shrugged, rustling his own, now platinum hair with black roots.

"I'm new so I don't understand. Was your hair another colour before? Or did you dye it?" Symphony asked curiously.

"My hair was rose pink for a while you know, then when Sierra learned she could use light dragon slayer magic her hair went from cherry pink to white like you see today. I was next since we found out we all had dragon potential in us besides Sting and Rogue, so Levy is training me in light dragon slayer magic, and my hair started to turn black and white I guess" Nate shrugged.

"Wow, why do you think that is happening?" Lisa asked since she had never seen such a thing happen before her very eyes.

"Well apparently when I was a baby my hair was already like this but when the dragons left it turned pink oddly enough, same with Sierra and Persephone, I guess we're just going back to normal" Nate explained.

All their heads snap away, as they look down the mist filled and foggy road. Footsteps are heard and Nate jumped to his feet.

Jerking his head around he saw two figures emerge from the icy fog. Nate lit his hand up to see better "Who goes there?"

Two tall young men wearing black emerge from the fog. One with white hair, the other with lavender hair; besides that completely identical "Ah...Sabers"

Nate made the light shine brighter "Who are you?"

"Niklaus..." The white haired one introduced "Better remember which one I am"

"Nellor" the lavender haired one said "We aren't hiding anything light bug. Calm down"

"Niklaus...Nellor. Do I know you from somewhere?"

"Perhaps, we've met so many people it's hard to keep track of everything" Niklaus shrugged.

"Well, what do you want anyways?" Nate demanded.

"We would love to get to the top of this dear tower here. Thank you very much"

"Why?"

The two tilt their head, staring at the spinning tower of the icy prison. "It's about time we meet up with dear old friends. We need to have a proper chat" they said in their creepy twin unison.

"Who? The only people in this tower are my friends and the person who made it. So who could you be meeting?" Nate asked.

"Oh how foolish" Nellor said. "Sorry about that but there are more than just your friends in there"

"Even without them it's filled with beasts, titans, monsters. It'll know which one to send out" Niklaus finished.

"Titans...?" Lisa said softly, a shiver sneaking up her spine.

"Hush" Nate snapped.

"Titans, indeed. Have you met one?" Niklaus asked "You have haven't you. That look in your eye, you shivered at the mention. When was it kid?"
