The Drakes of Heaven and Earth.
[After arriving back in Magnolia Station, the three wizards began to exit the station]
Chico Hammitt: Guys...I don't like this...Something's not right about what we're hearing...
Erza Scarlet: Or what we're seeing...What do you think Clay?...Clay?
Clayton Grimm:...[Deep in thought of Eisenwald's possible plans]
CH:[To Erza] He's been like that since after he heard about Lullaby at that bar...You think he knows something?
ES: Most likely...But whatever it is...It must be traumatic enough to have him in this state...
CG:...Lullaby...It was used to kill my aunt...Years before I was born...
Ladies:[Surprised] Huh?
CG:...Her husband...My uncle...Had it guarded in a sealed case...Made by my father...That was all before...When my hometown was still the place I knew it was...Back before that horrible day...That day...I lost my parents...My neighbors...My childhood...My innocence...My world...My everything...Lullaby is dangerous...It could kill a mass of people just by being played...And I won't sleep sound at night knowing a damn guild of Dark Wizard's possess it...
*Bump!*
[Loke bumped into Erza, almost having her fall back with her trophy if it hadn't been for Clay casually holding it up]
ES:[Angry] HEY! WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING!
Loke:[Scared] E-Erza!...You're back...
ES: Hey, Loke! I need to ask you something-
[He runs back to the Fairy Tail Guild]
-Important...
CH: Rude...
CG:...
ES: Hey, Clayton! Can you use your extended senses to see if the Master's in the Guild Hall?...Clayton?...Clay?...
[He was lost in a flashback after deep thought]
Ayla Suede Grimm: You really for bed, Clay!?!
Child Clayton Grimm: Yeah! I'm ready!
ASG: Good!...Now...What lullaby would you like me to play for bed?...Clay?...
[The young Grimm was scared of that word. Having just came not too long ago from the library in Freesia, researching Magical Instruments. Earlier flashback.]
CCG: Hey Gordon!?!
Gordon Williams: Yes Clay!?!
CCG: What's it mean here by “Curse”?[Points to the word in a book about Magical Instruments and Sound magic.]
GW: Hmmm...Well...Curses are somewhat similar to magic in a way...But it's source of power is completely different...While magic’s source of power comes from our ability to process ethernano, curses source of power comes from the negative emotions of its casters…No ordinary magic can nullify curses…
CCG:[Reading] So “Death by curse” means...It can't be stopped!?!
GW: Not by magic, no…[Sees that he's reading about Lullaby.] Ahhh...I remember that flute…
CCG:[Shocked] WAIT!?! THIS THING IS REAL!?!
GW: But of course!...Your mother and I defeated an assassin whom wielded it years and years ago…I even have it under my front desk…
CCG:[Freaking out] IS THAT WHAT WAS HUMMING ALL THE TIME I CAME HERE!?!
GW: Calm yourself boy!...Or you might power the flute![He laughs.]
CCG:[Screaming] AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!
[Heavy breathing]
ASG: Clay!?!
BG:[Kicking the door down to Clay's room] WHAT'S HAPPENED!!!
CCG:[Crying] PLEASE DON'T USE LULLABY ON ME MOMMY!!! I DON'T WANNA DIE!!!
BG&ASG:[Confused] Huh!?!
BG: What are you talking about son!?!
CCG: Lullaby! The cursed flute! The flute that can kill you if someone plays it!
ASG:[Realizing. Under her breath] Damn it Gordon...Look...Although it's real...It's NOT cursed…It's just a really evil spell it makes...But it's safe where it is...That box Gordon put it in was made by your father!
BG: That's right!...I made it so that there's NO WAY it could activate while it's in that box...And Gordon has the key to it!...It can't hurt anyone!...As for actual cursed stuff...Look no further than my own coat! The Cursed Freesian den is what attracts the common lions in the area...Always every seven years, it curses seven lions with impenetrable hide...And claws and fangs that could tear through anything!...Even another Freesian Lion...Luckily for us...They usually pick off one another in the wild...Then the surviving one is usually hunted using the fangs from the fallen ones...But your old man did the impossible!...I killed a Freesian Lion with my own bare hands!...Shoved my arm down that big cat's mouth, punched through it's stomach wall...And, RIPPED OUT it's still beating heart...One day...When your old enough...I'd like to take you to kill one of those beasts...And use it's hide to make your own trophy!...How's that sound!?!
CCG:[In awe] Awesome! So! What time of year do they appear!?!
BG: It always varies...I killed this one the day you were born!
CCG: Wow!
ASG: I almost had a heart attack when your father brought in that dead beast!...
[Forward in time.]
CG:[Reading a book on demons, particularly about the Books of Zeref. To librarian] Excuse me, ma'am!
Librarian: Yes, sir?
CG: I'm a little lost...This book has knowledge on demons, even the Books of Zeref...But for some reason Lullaby is in here...I thought it was just a tool of death by would be assassins?
Librarian: Oh! It was!...But eventually the Black Wizard, Zeref, had expanded it's power with a living spell!
CG:[Knowing about living spells] Living spell!?!...You mean he…
Librarian: Yes, unfortunately...He created an Etherious Demon to possess the flute Lullaby...Quite honestly, talking about Zeref and his Books always gives me the shakes…[She shakes in fear.]
[Forward further in time]
The rail line to Oshibana Station is closed! Something about maintenance…[Shouting] I want a refund!...I'M supposed to be heading to Clover…Come on Bob! We're all the way out here to attend this stupid meeting…This idiotic conference...These cuts are too clean and uniformed to be from an animal or monster…It can't be a sword or something like that...Angle's off…Definitely steel...And I'm getting wiffs of Wind Magic…This area is under investigation...What are you doing here?...What's it look like…?...Trying to figure out what the hell's up with the delay to Oshibana...Whoever did this, did it for a reason…To stop someone from getting to Oshibana?...Maybe...But maybe to make sure all their targets are accounted for...The tracks were sashimied ¾’s of the way to Oshibana…The conference might be compromised...Then again...If a pitiful Dark Guild thinks It can take out the Magic Guild leaders in Fiore...They've better have the brains, bronze, and boons to do so…Don't jinx us Jose…He's a Dark Wizard from Eisenwald...Their ace wizard to be exact…Our Ace wizard has a plan to use the Demon Flute Lullaby...once the flutes unsealed by Kageyama...
[End of flashback.]
[Clayton realized he was in Fairy Tail, with Erza, Natsu, Gray, Lucy, Happy, Griffin, and his sisters absent]
Elfman Strauss:[Shouting] HEY! EARTH TO CLAYTON!
CG:[Confused] Huh?
Cana Alberona: You didn't hear a word anyone said, did you?
CG: No...No I didn't...
Levy McGarden: Erza asked you, Natsu, Gray and Chico to meet her up in Magnolia Station tomorrow to head to Onibus Station...But you've got a letter requesting you to be at the Magic conference with the Guild Masters and the rest of your old guild...So what are you gonna choose?
CH:[Coming to the same conclusion Clay cames to] *GASP!*
Mirajane Strauss: Is everything alright Chico?
[Chico and Clay stare into each other's eyes. Seeing the same conclusion in one another's eyes]
Chico Hammitt: Guys...I don't like this...Something's not right about what we're hearing...
