Aries' P.O.V.

I watched in amazement as Grandine opened the gate to the spirit world, causing a gust of wind to burst out of the portal. I squeezed Leo's fading hand instinctlivey,  and he squeezed back. I looked at his face, calm, like a clean slate. "Leo.", I whispered, he turned to look at me.

"Aries", He pulle me into a hug, I hope it isn't our last one.

"ALL BOW BEFORE THE SPIRIT KING!", A voice announced from the gate

"Cool it junior.", Grandine snarled as the Spirit king walked out on all his glory. His grey moustach, or was it nosehair, touched the bottom of his chin, and his eyes were hidden by his broat-rimmed hat. He came out looking professional, but one look at the amazing dragon before him and he crumbled.

"M-m-m-m-m-m-my l-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-lady! W-w-w-why are you h-h-h-here?", He stammered, immediately losing his cool.

"I came to fix one of your mistakes, you unworthy soul. When I created you, I gave you a list of rules, and you have broken them."

"But, m-m-m-m-m-my lady!"

"SILENCE!", Grandine quietened the king, snarling and circling him."I told you that if it was unclear for a desision, to contact me. WHY DID YOU NOT CONTACT ME! This innocent soul has been in pain three years for your cowardly actions. Where is the crux?"She growled in his face.

"Um, ah, m-m-m-m-my l-l-l-l-lady, i-it was, um, ah-"

"YOU LOST IT!?" She roared, the wind making the spirit stumble over.

"Yes?", he squeaked.

"The blue gem in the centre is connected to me, IDIOT!" Grandine was about to close in on his throat when one of the guild members spoke up.

"Grandine, crux, as in, like this?" He asked, showing her the crux around his throat, why was he topless?

"Gray, where did you find this?", Grandine whispered, her emerald eyes gazing over the pendant on its chain.

"My parents gave it to me before the town was destroyed," He explained,"I think it was passed down from 6 generations. Why?"

"The gem is actually one mf my scales. I gave it to Metallicana to insert into a crux, for use in an emergency. It's connected to my very soul." A single tear rolled down her scales and onto the ground as she remembered the days of her youth.

I felt something heavy almost pull me to the ground, I turned and saw Leo on the ground, blood trickiling from his mouth. "NO!", I cried, attempting to wake him up.

"Give. Leo. His. Title. Now.", Grandine snarled, turnig to face the ruined king,"Or I will rip out you're throat!"

"But, he killed-", The king started.

"HE WAS PROTECTING ONE OF HIS OWN! IS THAT NOT A GOOD ENOUGH REASON FOR YOU!", A girl from the guild shouted, keys jingling from her belt. "I know what happened, Leo told me himself! He did it for one of his own kind, I would gladly do that for my friends!"

"YEAH! AND IF YOU DON'T REALISE THAT WE'LL POUND IT INTO YOU!", A salmon-haired boy shouted, his hands bursting into flames.

"Leo may be a spirit, but he's a member of Fairy Tail, he's our brother in arms, and we will not watch him die!", The boy with the crux agreed.
