Five Little Sacrifices

Chapter 95

Laxus looked at them.

"Did Hibiki show you the ship?" he asked.

"Yes, it's really big", Felix nodded and he got up on a chair.

"It has lots of cords inside it", Theophilius said sitting on the table and he pulled closer a bowl filled with grapes.

"How long does it take until we're in Magnolia?" Felix asked.

"An hour if the weather stays this good", Eve said.

"An hour?" Felix asked surprised. "But it took many hours for us to travel with a train."

"Christina is faster than a train", Evergreen chuckled. "And I personally like travelling with Cristina more than travelling with a train."

"It makes us really happy to hear that", Eve smiled.

They sat down and talked, or more like Felix was just listening what the adults were talking. They were worried about the current situation and what might happen nest. Naturally it made Felix worried too. He doubted him, Chester, Vellanja and Theophilius were allowed to join others when they went after Yuidose. But where would they stay then? With Makarov at Magnolia?

After a while Hibiki came back with Chester who looked absolutely enthralled.

"The engines were so big!" he said to Felix and Theophilius. "You should have seen them! They were so powerful!" he explained and Felix was even a bit surprised. Rarely did Chester get so excited over something. "Of course they have to be powerful because they're holding this whole thing in the air."

"It seems like you like airships", Freed said amused.

"I do! I want an airship too", Chester decided his eyes shining. "I will make one with my silver magic!"

"But silver is a soft metal, I doubt it can be used to build something like an airship", Hibiki said sitting down and taking some tea. "Not without mixing something with silver at least."

"I will make one", Chester said with an adamant tone in his voice. "I'll definitely make one. I'll make my silver so durable I can make all the parts needed."

"You'll need lots of it to make an airship as big as Christina."

"Well... I could make a smaller one", Chester said after thinking a while. "Just big enough so me, Felix and Vellanja can fly with it."

"Hey", Theophilius said. "What about me?"

"You have wings."

"I do, but I don't want to be left out..."

"Theo doesn't weight that much, I bet he can travel with us too", Felix smiled. "I bet you can make an airship, Chester", he assured and Chester nodded with determination.

"I will do it", he said. "Then we can go where ever we want with no problem at all."

"That sounds really great", Hibiki chuckled. "So Christina will have a rival some day."

"Definitely!"

It felt like time went way too fast when travelling on Christina – though for Laxus it was never too fast – and soon enough they could finally see Magnolia. The Trimens steered Christina at the docks, softly letting the airship get down and finally land on water.

"Fucking finally", Laxus grunted when they got down from the ship.

"It wasn't that bad, baby", Bickslow cackled patting his shoulder.
