Celestial Being [Discontinued]

Chapter 3

Tenrou Island

Zeref was sitting in front of a grave with a sad smile. This is where her grave is but not her body, he was no fool he knew her physical body was not here on Tenrou, it was somewhere else and he knew just where it was. A soft breeze brushed past him and he smiled a small smile knowing who it was that paid him a visit, "Mavis..."

Mavis looked down at him with steel eyes, "What brings you here on Tenrou Zeref?"

He kept his smile knowing that he couldn't see nor hear her but knew she was there, "No reason at all, I just wanted to come here."

She landed softly on the ground, "My body is not here Zeref, so I repeat my question. Why are you here?"

"To stay away from humanity for a while," he stood up, "However, there's someone I want to see, and that person is nowhere near me right now."

Mavis's eyes hardened, "Are you planning to do something to Lucy-neesan?" she asked calmly.

He turned to her, "Why as a matter of fact I am, in order for Natsu to kill me he needs a trigger. And she is that trigger."

Her eyes widened, "What are trying to do to her?"

He smiled, "You'll see."

She glared, "Fairy Tail won't let you do anything to her and neither will I."

"That's true," he walked away from her, "But never forget Mavis, she was with me longer than she was with any of you. I know her better than anyone, and I know that she will be by my side once again just like before."

Mavis watched him leave her eyes filled with determination, "I know that better than anyone, but that doesn't mean I'll let you use her for your own ambitions. You forget that I know her better than anyone else as well, and I know that she won't just let herself be used by anyone. Not even you," she clenched her fist, "And don't forget this Zeref...Fairy Tail protects one of their own. Remember that."

Fairy Tail Guild

Makarov had just announced the candidates for the S-Class Trial which were Laxus, Erza, Mira, and Brandish, the blonde scoffed not happy that the green haired chick was also a candidate viewing her as weak because he hadn't seen her magic yet. Brandish was calm as ever but was interested to see what kind of events will be taking place in the exam, as were Mira and Erza.

Makarov coughed getting everyone's attention again, "Now that the candidates have been selected we will begin the trial to become S-Class. The four mages behind me will be sent to "Monster Island" to fight as many monsters as they can for a total of three days without trying to leave the island. The same rules apply should you choose to forfeit, if you leave the island or forfeit you will not be promoted to S-Class."

The four mages behind him nodded, the blonde was smirking the whole time turning to look in Lucy's direction and frowned when she wasn't looking at him but instead listening to that idiot Natsu talk about that stupid blue cat of his.

Makarov jumped off stage, "I will be going to observe your progress on the island along with two others which will be our very own Gildarts and Lucy."

None of them were surprised to hear that at all, in case something goes wrong the two of them can just step in and handle it. Gildarts was looking forward to being paired with the blonde as an observer wanting to see what she was capable of. He'd been curious to know more about her magic for a while now; the same could be said for Brandish too.

"Good, we will depart tomorrow. That's all." Makarov announced.

Brandish walked down from the stage about to head over to Lucy when Laxus called out to her, "Oi."
