Lior's POV
It's been a few days since the Raijinshuu returned from their job, where they'd been followed by a mysterious figure.
Everyone had yet to know who it was that had followed them.
All I really remember them mentioning was a blood red hood...
A blood red hood...
Where had I seen one of those before?
It seemed so familiar.
The answer was most likely buried within my memories.
If only I could just trigger one.
Blood red hood...
Blood red...
"Lior, there's another guild nearby. They're getting too powerful."
"That shouldn't be a problem. Black Rose is the most powerful guild in the area, right?"
"Yes, but they're rising in the ranks. They could overrule us soon..."
Lilith and I pause, thinking.
"Hm... what to do?" She asks herself.
I suddenly see a wicked grin spread across her face.
"I know what we need to do. We can keep our power without risk of them tearing us down."
"What's the plan, my queen?"
Her smirk grows wider.
"All we need to do is make them our ally. We get more power, and we keep our top spot. It's perfect. We'll be invincible..."
"You are quite the clever one, Queen Lilith..."
"Lior, prepare to send a message over to our new friends... 'Let's dominate together.'"
"Before I go alert the messenger, what is the name of this interesting guild?"
"Blood Thorn."
I'm back in the present.
Blood Thorn was the guild that was in an alliance with Black Rose.
More importantly, they were the guild who was attacking Fairy Tail.
If they were allies with Black Rose...
Then that's where the remainder of Black Rose members must've gone.
Now, they're getting their revenge.
This wasn't going to be good.
I walk out to see the guild of Fairy Tail having a serious conversation.
"We have to look out for blood red hoods. Be cautious of your surroundings. We don't know their motives just yet..."
I take a seat with them.
I want to speak up, but I can't interrupt.
"Lior... something on your mind?" Lucy asks.
I realize that my arrival has caused their guild to look my way.
"It's just... Blood Thorn."
Their expressions are filled with confusion.
"Blood Thorn?" Lucy questions.
"It's... the guild. With the blood red hoods? They're here for revenge."
"Revenge? We didn't start anything with that Blood Horn guild!" Natsu yells.
"Blood Thorn is in an alliance with Black Rose... They were a threat to Black Rose, so Lilith decided to make them allies. I think the remaining Black Rose members might've gone there, which means they have an advantage when it comes to numbers."
"Advantage?! They don't stand a chance against Fairy Tail!" A girl with booze, who I think was named Cana, yelled.
They all cheered.
"If..."
I wait for them to quiet down a little.
"If they worked with Black Rose, they'll probably have the same, sinister nature. They'll play dirty..."
"We won't play dirty..." Master Makarov begins.
"... but we'll fight till the end."
