Five Little Sacrifices

Chapter 90

"I'm sure they would have survived, they are very persistent and diligent people", Warrod smiled. "But no matter how much I might have helped them to clean their waters and grow new plants, it won't take away the scars that were left behind by Red Dawn. I have always hoped that little by little Elenbora would open up again and stop being so afraid of mages. If Yuidose attacks them, their fear will only deepen."

"It seems like you already knew Yuidose has a connection to Red Dawn", Roscoe grunted.

"I did learn it from the letter Freed sent me earlier."

"Right now the people of Elenbora don't know who Yuidose really is", Freed said. "Or at least majority of them don't know him. We understand why you're so worried about them and what might happen."

"Have you ever met anyone from that guild?" Natsu asked curiously.

"When Fairy Tail was formed, Red Dawn was already disbanded", Warrod reminded. "But there were some former members who remained in Elenbora, wishing that they could reform the guild one day."

"Did you get rid of them?" Gajeel asked with a smirk.

"I simply encouraged them to find something else to do", Warrod chuckled. "Well enough about old stories, it is more important to focus on what's happening right now. I believe Elenbora will be alright with Crime Sorciére, but just in case I have asked Gildarts to go and help them."

"I already said I would do it", Gildarts nodded looking at Erza. "If that is alright?"

"You should go", Erza agreed. "We can handle things here."

"We should also ask more guilds to protect whole Fiore", Gray said. "We can't be sure where Yuidose might attack next and we don't have any information where they are hiding."

"We'll find that information once they have broken that charm spell and start interrogate Ketkel", Freed assured. "But depending how strong that spell is, it might take time."

"If they could have help from that little dude from Lamia Scale, he could nullify that spell in no time at all", Natsu grinned.

"Who?" Gajeel asked confused.

"That little blue haired guy! Who's always with that dog-man or whatever! Teby, Taby, Tiby or something like that."

"Toby", Wendy chuckled. "And you're talking about Yuka. I can go see them right away and ask if he could come and help", she smiled. And it was a good excuse for her to see Sherria too.

"That would be most helpful, Wendy", Erza smiled. "I guess we should inform other guilds too that they should keep their eyes open and be ready to defend their towns just in case."

"We'll go see Sabertooth!" Natsu laughed excitedly.

"Since Naava Town doesn't have its own mage guild, we could ask some guild if they could come here", Lucy suggested.

"Well, it would be a piece of cake for Blue Pegasus", Evergreen chuckled. "With Christina they can move however they want around these mountains."

"We can go talk with master Bob, since we know where to find them", Freed said and Laxus grunted and got up.

"Guess we have to thank them anyway for their help earlier", the Thunder God said. "Will you guys be alright until we come back? It'll take some time."

"Don't worry about us", Erza assured. "We'll see you back in Magnolia when you're done."

She looked at Warrod.

"I suppose Magic Council has started its own preparations to keep Yuidose from causing chaos?" she asked and Warrod nodded.

"Our most important job is to make sure there won't be any more destruction", the old man said. "And we're still helping people from Ginkgo to rebuild their town, Jura has already gone there to reform the ground."

"Figures", Laxus snorted with a smirk. "That old man is perfect for that job."

"Can I come with you?" Felix asked grabbing Laxus' hand. He didn't want to be left behind. "I bet Chester would want to go too!"

"It would give him something new to think", Makarov smiled. "And Bob will make sure nothing happens while you're there."

"I guess we better leave then right away after packing our stuff", Laxus said. "The quicker we can get them to come here, the better. By then we might have all the information we need so we can finally start hunting down Yuidose", he said. "Are you coming?" he asked looking at Roscoe who huffed, thinking about it.

"Might as well come", Evergreen said to the guard. "There's really nothing you can do here now anyway."

"It might not be a place where Roscoe feels most comfortable", Freed chuckled. Roscoe was shy and not at all accustomed to the flirtatious atmosphere Blue Pegasus had. "But it would give you something to do while waiting for what Ketkel will tell us."

"I guess you're right", Roscoe grunted. "I need something to do."

"I bet this is going to be fun", Evergreen giggled and their team went to prepare themselves for the journey, while others made their own plans who should go see whom. They would have just enough time to hop in the train that would take them away from the mountains and then they could head towards Blue Pegasus.
