Back in Fairy Tails guild it has been already two days since Grays and Juvias dissappearance. They tried tracking them down with magic, with telepathy but it seemed like all connection to them was cut off.

The usual livid atmosphere turned dull and most of the days the guild stood almost empty. Everyone was on the search for their guild members.

Search squads have been sent to Crocus and Lotus. Other guilds were visited for any kind of information but it was as if Gray and Juvia turned to dust.

After a while it was assumed that Lost Tessera had captured them, given the fact that Gray had the Amulet, they thought the dark guild was after.

Lucy had woken up and was already feeling better. Thanks to Porlyusica and Wendy her wound was almost healed up. She heard about what happened to Juvia and wanted to find her as soon as possible, hoping she'd come home safe. She wanted to let her know that she held no grudge because of what happened.

Still. The Celestial Mage was forbidden by Porlyusica to search for their friends in case any health problems accur.

She didn't just spend her time worrying though. Lucy and Levy spent hours reading books about blood magic, Phantom Lords history or any possible leads on Lost Tessera. Even Freed joined them.

Natsu and Happy were also sitting with them. Reading books was no fun for them but Natsu insisted on staying by Lucys side until she is fully healed.

A certain book that Freed found by accident in Masters Office seemed like the bullseye.

It was a book from Phantom Lords library, one of many Master took after Jose was defeated.

To their surprise it was a dairy, kept by Jose from his younger years.

They had found out about Margaret and the Blood Flow Ceremony she was forced into. The ceremony was described in details and reading it made them shiver in horror.

The victim had to be tied up for hours on a platform with razers stuck in her skin. The flowing blood would then flow into a magic vessel and with listed Magic spells, it would turn into a potion. The person who would drink it would gain intense magic enhencment.

(Something similar Ultear made them go through before the Grand Magic Games, but much stronger and brutal, also dependent on the magic power of the victim.)

But that was not what gave them an idea where their friends could be though.

Freed pointed out pages with instructions to certain runes. Ones that were used to protect any kind of building. The runes would turn it invisible and block out any magic or contact from the outside world.

"Margaret must've known about that, that's why we can't find them!" Freed meant.

"Is there anything about how to find such a place?" Levy asked.

"Not entirely", Lucy sighed. "Only the person who had casted the spell can undo it, or if they're defeated."

"Damn", Freed sighed.

"There is something about the Amulet here", Levy changed the topic.

"The person wearing it creates a lock between the person who had enchanted it. The enchanter gains power over mind and body of the necklace owner even after it is taken down."

"So how do you break the link?", Lucy wondered.

"Quite simple actually. You destroy it", Levy shrugged.
