Drinks 2

"... This is big." A short man with a white beard said lightly upon hearing Erza report on the mission. He looked towards Wendy, before that frowning look he had instantly disappeared as he smiled. 

This short man was Makarov Dreyar, the 3rd Fairy Tail guild master and one of the Ten Wizard Saints. The Ten Wizard Saints are ten mighty and skilled Mages of the continent of Ishgar.

To become a member of the Ten Wizard Saints, a Mage must be granted this title by the Chairman of the Magic Council. The strength of the Ten Wizard Saints is known to be so immense that they are well renowned throughout the continent. Members of the Ten Wizard Saints are powerful, and a single member can take on scores of average Mages with ease and defeat more powerful Mages with little effort. It has been stated that if two members, current or former, were to clash in a fight, it could cause a "cataclysm".

Makarov went on to welcome Wendy and Carla to the guild, and what was the best way to welcome someone than through a party? So, they partied. Well, Erza didn't party as she went on to research her father, she was joined by Lucy and one of the smartest people in Fairy Tail, Levy.

The 3 worked together, and Erza even bought rare books and records on history... but Erza was soon summoned to the Magic Council. The Magic Council is the ruling body of the world of Magic, run by a combination of regular people and Mages with different hierarchical branch systems dependent on the continent. 

As the main ruling body of the entire Magic world, the Council possesses almost utmost control over it, acting as a leading government of sorts, which divides out into each continent being run by a specific council. The Council rules all of the legal Guilds scattered throughout Earth Land, overseeing them and keeping them in check, and they are responsible for the events caused by Mages, also possess the right to punish Mages who break the law and to confiscate magical artifacts which could potentially cause large-scale damage.

The fact Erza was the daughter of the Scarlet King... well, this was a matter that couldn't be ignored. The same for Natsu being the twin brother of the Scarlet King. The two had to be summoned, and the whole magic council was on full alert.

This wasn't like 400 years ago, the continent was far more united thanks to the help of the Magic Council...

"What's wrong?" Standing on my black flames, I turned to look at Erza Dragneel who had an enraged look.

"Natsu and Erza under arrest. At the rate things are doing, they would be questioned to every last detail of their life to try and get anything on us." Erza Dragneel said to which I frowned for a moment before I shrugged.

"You know, no one is forcing you to put all your attention on being our king. We all want you to be with your family." Erza said with a smile, to which I ignored her while ordering the flames to take the shape of a sword, which I grabbed and tested for some time.

As for how we knew about the information on my daughter and brother, well that was simple. Erza Dragneel was spying on the only family member she had left in this world. She wanted nothing more than to bring Erza to Dragon City and crown her the air to the throne, giving her the life she never had.

"Fine... I will go see my cousin and brother-in-law." She said while turning into a sea of phoenix flames, before bursting into the sky. I frowned seeing her leave, before looking at the dragons which were ear-dropping. Seeing me look towards them, they coughed awkwardly and began looking around, as if they saw nothing.

I glared at them, causing sweat to cover their foreheads. I didn't let up, not until one of them opened their mouth and spoke...

"Erza Scarlet, how could you be the daughter of the Scarlet King? The Scarlet King was sealed away 400 years ago, are you behind the reason for his escape? Did he foresee he would be sealed away 400 years ago, and left his offspring out in the world?" Erza stood before the magic council, which stood above her, forcing her to look up to see them.

"As reported by myself and everyone else. Brain and Jellal were the ones to free them, but by the time we arrived, it was too late. I have no connection to the Scarlet King, I'm sure you all know more about him compared to me." Erza said calmly, making the Magic Council annoyed. 

"Why waste time speaking to her, just read her memory. If we find anything off with it, kill her." An elder said calmly, his eyes ruthless, as when facing someone as mighty as the Scarlet King, being soft is foolish.

"Don't be foolish, such an act could lead to an attack. This is a being who trumps Acnologia." Another elder said, all while Erza kept her ear open, wanting to know more secrets.

"Erza Scarlet... You and the members of Fairy Tail are a troublesome bunch, you cause problems left and right... but At the end of the day, I see you're not bad. You go overboard a bit too much." Gran Doma the chairman of the Magic Council said while looking at Erza.

Fairy Tail was a pain in the ass for the magic council, for it always goes overboard and destroys the land around them. A simple task might lead to a city block being erased from the face of the world, but such power wasn't needed.

"But the matter to do with the Scarlet King is a matter which could lead to the destruction of this whole world. As things stand, You and Natsu are to be locked away until we know the best way to deal with you... Fairy Tail shall also be temporarily disbanded, the chances of 2 people connected to the scarlet King to just end up there is too much for us to just ignore." Gran Doma said calmly, making Erza's heart drop. This was something she didn't want, she didn't want her actions or anything like that to come back to affect Fairy Tail in such a way.

But the air suddenly went still, it was weird as everyone felt the primal instincts of death... alarms suddenly went off all over the magic council, followed by a soldier running into the room where the trial was being held.

"Alert! A dragon is landing on top of us." The soldier spoke quickly, causing everyone's eyes to widen before they looked towards Erza, who was also stunned. They wanted to quickly take Erza as a hostage or lock her away or something, but it was pointless as the ceiling above them was forced apart, and from there, a huge red-pinkish dragon looked down upon everyone.

The dragon's body shrank, turning into Erza Dragneel who landed lightly next to Erza Scarlet. 

"... is this an attack?" Gran Doma asked with great unease he was trying to hide, but it was hard as he knew this woman should be at least an equal to the likes of Acnologia.

"No, I just came to get my cousin and brother-in-law. I'm Erza Dragneel, the Queen Of the Dragons. I would have personally killed you all for laying your dirty hands on her, but the Scarlet King wants peace." Erza Dragneel said with a smile, while looking towards Erza Scarlet, before speaking into her ear.

"I saved Jellal, he is alive." She said with a wink, stunning her.

"Anyways, we are also confused as to how Erza and Natsu are alive. Erza should have died along with her mother, and Natsu should have died 400 years ago. It's fate that you all happened to end up together as a family in the same guild." Erza Dragneel said with a gentle smile, which warmed Erza Scarlet's heart.

"Let's go. You want to know more about your parents, I will tell you everything." Erza Dragneel said while destroying the chains holding her before she ignored the old fools above and left with Erza.

"... my mother?" Erza Scarlet asked softly, seeing the glimpse of torture her mother endured weighed heavily on her mind. Erza Dragneel was uneasy for some time, but she slowly went over Irene, telling her everything Erza Scarlet Wanted.

This caused Erza Scarlet to not know what to think, to hear that her mother could have broken free but used all her magical power to protect her to endure torture which broke Ezra Dragneel in just 1 year. Irene only broke free when her life was in danger, just to die from her injuries in a forest.

"As for your father..." Erza Dragneel went on to explain the matter behind the gods, and how I died back then.

"Your parents loved you... I know for sure your mother loved you more than anything... Your father was left shattered by the fact he failed both of you. I fear the future where I didn't find him sitting there in defeat." Erza Dragneel said while looking at Erza Scarlet.

"He wants you to be as far away from him as possible. I had to force him to open up his heart and marry me. When he fell in love, he began pushing me away, thinking he was cursed or something. Now he is doing the same with you... sorry about that." Erza Dragneel said lightly, to which Erza Scarlet shook her head, as this wasn't her fault.

"Well, I will try and sneak Jellal out of the city. If you two have a child, I'm sure your father wouldn't have the heart to give you the cold shoulder." Erza Dragneel said with a nod that she had it all planned out, just for Erza Scarlet's face to turn red in embarrassment at those.

"... I was just guessing, but do you like him? Your father would be against it 100%. He let me save him last time, but for you to even date the guy who put you through such hell... yeah, I don't see that happening. I will also reject it. This isn't controlling, we former Dragon Slayers are a bit mentally unstable." Erza Dragneel said seeing Erza getting a bit defensive at her words.

"I'm with your father, if he truly loved you he would have broken free from that control for your sake... I want the man who you would marry to have the same love your father had for your mother. Your father's love for your mother was so great, that he endured something that should have killed him for 3 days. He doesn't even love me the same way he loved your mother, for her, he would have endured any pain." Erza Dragneel said with some jealousy,

"I question his love for you if that can't be answered... I will not step in to save him again." Erza Dragneel said seeing Erza Scarlet getting frustrated.

"You can of course stop this... just defeat him and show him you are more than capable of taking care of yourself. You are the perfect fusion of your parents, you should be more talented than the two... well, the Scarlet Knight and Irene. Not the Scarlet King and Irene. Knowing your father, he would fight with a handy cap, so you should be able to defeat him if you're strong enough. From there, you should be able to ensure he would never bother you again." Erza Dragneel said leaving Erza Scarlet quiet for some time before she shook her head... she couldn't do that to her father. Since Jellal was alive, she wasn't so angry with him anymore.

{Sorry for the slow updates, I have been having a hard time focusing lately, things just keep popping up. But I owe you guys 3 extra chapters.}
