Prank and Sea King 3
Opposite to him was Hades. Hades is a tall, elderly man with long, slicked back, silvery-white hair, revealing his forehead. He also has a moustache, and a similarly long yet mildly thin and curly beard, reaching down to his lower chest. He has some wrinkles on his face, as evident of his extremely advanced age; nonetheless, despite this age, his figure is muscular and well defined. His right eye is usually seen covered by a simple eye patch.
His attire consists of a dark shirt paired with armoured shoulder pads and shiny gauntlets, as well as chain-mail covering the parts of his arms remaining exposed, simple light pants with flames near the edges - held up by what looks like a light belt composed of two straps with the relative buttons, possibly part of the pants themselves, and dark, simple shoes/boots. Over this outfit, he wears a large, dark cape, bearing Grimoire Heart's symbol on the back and sporting a mantle with a high collar, lighter-coloured borders and jagged lower edges.
On the other side was the last member and the master of Tartaros, Mard Geer Tartaros. Mard Geer is tall, lean and has the appearance of a young man. Often seen wearing a smirk, Mard Geer's dark purple hair is long and wavy, reaching his shoulders even whilst the majority is tied up in a very large ponytail. Additionally, his messy bangs all but obscure his dark, slanted black eyes.
For clothing, Mard Geer dons a long, black jacket trimmed with a light-coloured flame pattern, the lapels are a matching lighter colour as well. The cuffs of his jacket are rolled up, revealing a light-coloured inside, which contrasts the black outside of his jacket, and have a black line cutting through the edge of the fabric. The jacket itself is tattered and splits into four torn fabric segments at the tail. Beneath the jacket, Mard Geer wears a frilly black v-necked shirt, lined in a lighter colour, that closes down the middle and is adorned with a buckle just below his clavicle; just below this is a piece of fabric that Mard Geer keeps over this shirt but under his jacket, that circles the majority of the lower half of his torso.
The rest of his attire is simple, consisting of light-coloured pants that lay lazily over the top of rather plain black boots and have, on each leg, a seam running down the middle, as well as two pairs of buckles that form an X on the thigh and lower calf. However, the buckles on each thigh later disappear, leaving only the ones on each calf.
They sat around an ornately decorated table on 3 sides. Mard Gear in the middle, Hades to his right and Brain on his left.
These 3 Guilds together form Balam Alliance. The Balam Alliance was an alliance between the three most powerful Dark Guilds in Fiore. Despite being referred to as an alliance, the three guilds do not interact with each other at all, and their alliance is nothing more than a non-aggression pact.
"So what is all this about?" Asked Mard Gear in a nonchalant tone.
"We are here to discuss the general way of things and a possible new threat," said Hades as he stood up. No one made a move to stop the old man as he started to roam across the room with a lacrima following him.
"We all have different objectives and made a non-aggression pact a few years past," said Hades in a calm tone.
"Yes, I'm aware of that," said Mard Gear as he narrowed his eyes at the walking old man.
"I don't want to go into details of what we have done, but we have not interfered with each other according to the pact"
"Come to the point, old bastard," said Brain as he can't tolerate all this build up suspense.
"Well, I'm talking about a new S-class mage that had popped up"
"S-class? What does it mean?" said Mard Gear. This is his first time hearing that word. He didn't understand why do Humans some things anyway, then why bother trying.
"An S-class mage is a powerful human mage who can destroy an entire town at least and a small nation at best and these are standards for normal S-class mages. We are talking about an S-class mage of Fairy Tail" said Hades with disdain. No one knew why the old coot held such disdain for the strongest recognised Guild of Fiore, but they didn't care.
"So what? My pawns can easily destroy a town. Why should I be cautious about this?" Asked Brain in an angry tone. He didn't care for a village and a man who can destroy a village is nothing.
"I'm just giving you information. You don't know when such information comes in handy" said Hades in a calm tone. Mard Geer saw through his lie. He is the Underworld King, a Demon of the books of Zeref after all. Such puny tricks are easy to see through for him, a being of such a superior race.
"Well, if that is all, I'll take my leave," said Mard Geer. He is not interested in this conversation anymore. If they want to talk about something, they can. He doesn't care. His figure vanished in a white fire with black edges to it and the seat he sat was left unscathed by the act.
"How arrogant," said Brain. But Hades knew what happened. That Mard Geer saw through his lie and left as he had no interest in the matter. He called them only to talk about this.
He wants to have a good idea of this new character Naruto, that Ultear explained to him about. From the report sent by Makarov, Naruto and Erza made it to S-class during the last S-class trials.
They know about Erza and her magic as she is a Requip mage and saw her progress as he kept an eye on everything that was happening in Fairy Tail. After all, he should know well about his enemy. Only then will they be able to defeat them in battle.
