The Tempest Furies

The Qualifiers Begin!

That last chapter was actually so hard to write. Having to say the things that Damos and Tetsa said actually kind of hurt me. Regardless, the decision is final ad there's no going back. This chapter will mark the beginning of the Grand Magic Games arc. For a warning right now, this chapter IS going to be very, very LONG! I have to go through every game which'll probably be an entire chapter for each one and then on top of them all there's battles scheduled after the events. I'll skip over the battle that aren't important but obviously i'll be including the ones that are like Usurper Roar and Fairy Tail. I won't say which guild Usurper Roar will be replacing in the games yet. You'll most likely find out in the next chapter. Enjoy!

"So this is Crocus, eh? It's much bigger than I ever would've imagined!" Melida said as the five of us and our master walked through the streets. "If you look over there, you can see the coliseum where the Grand Magic Games are held." Master Clayton said, pointing to a nearby mountain top. The coliseum was enormous, almost the size of the royal castle in the centre of the city. Crocus was a thriving community and everyone had smiles on their faces. "It's no wonder why they call it the "Blooming Capital." I don't see how you can't love it here." I said as we arrived at our destination. "Here's where our guild is staying. Each of you make yourselves comfortable. But as a warning, I just learned this myself, but if you plan on going on and sightseeing or shopping, each guild is advised to have all of its members return to their inns by Midnight. So keep an eye on the clock at all times." Master explained as we all nodded. "Yes sir!" We said as he started to chuckle. "Good. I wish you all luck. I'm unfortunately not allowed to stay with you so i'll be residing with the rest of our guild mates. I'll see you when this whole thing begins." Master Clayton said as he began to walk away. The five of us then looked to each other and then went inside the inn. We dropped off our supplies and then decided on what we should do. "I'm gonna take a look around and see if I can scope out any of our competition. Anyone wanna come?" Azura asked as Milo stepped over to him. "Yeah, why not. I'd like to check out some of the lad- I mean the competition as well." Milo said as we all gave him disappointed expression. "I'll catch up to you two. I'm just gonna grab a quick drink." I said as Azura and Milo left. "I'm all sweaty from traveling here. I'm gonna have a nice cold shower." Melida said as she bolted into the bathroom. "And what about you? Care to join me?" I asked Tetsa as she nodded. "Sure. I'm feeling a bit parched too." She said as we left the inn. We made sure to check the clock before leaving. The time was currently 5pm.

"Jeez, Azura and Milo really know how to disappear, don't they?" Tetsa jokingly said as we looked around for them. "I wouldn't be surprised if they went back to the inn. I mean, the sun has gone down. They're probably resting before Midnight arrives. Maybe we should head back too." I said as Tetsa nodded in agreement. We both turned around and started to head back, but not before seeing a huge crowd of people in a square. "Look over there. It looks like they're all watching something." Tetsa said. "Wanna check it out? We've still got some time." I said as we went over to see what all the fuss was about. We pushed our way through and came to a surprising sight. Two men were standing over half a dozen other men. The six men on the ground looked unconscious. And as for the two men who were standing, me and Tetsa recognized them all too well. "It's Sting and Rogue. The twin dragon slayers from Sabretooth." Tetsa said as they both looked over to us. Sting was a blonde haired man who wore a fur vest, long blue gloves and black and grey pants.
