(EVENT) The Annual Guildmaster's Meeting!

Yuna walked into the meeting completely oblivious at what was going on. All she cared about was the food she had seen and the people gathered around the place. She waided through the crowds of people and saw no one she knew until.... "Bliss!" she greeted her fellow comrade as she made her way up to where he sat alone. It was then she saw... "Stuffed animals~" Yuna looked up at Bliss with a puppy eyed look. "C-can I...?" she asked as she looked at the stuffed toy he was making longingly, "Please?"

Everything had gotten complicated...The commotion seemed to grow more and more with each breath the Fairy took. Rita looked up at Heero and the dragon girl, Viola, Hanging onto their every word. She knew what had to be done in that instant. The girl dissapeared into the shadows. She remade her entrance, This time she crawled out from Heero's shadow and took a spot on the chandler beside him, Her expression cold and confident at the same time. She refused to Let Heero fight for his cause alone, She didn't care about how she looked or what the world thought of her at this point. What was going on here was wrong. "I agree with my friend and the old guy completely, What is locking up a girl in a prison cell and making all these assumptions going to do anyway?" Rita announced, siding with her guild and looking all who oppose dead in the eyes. Rita was never one to give up, Even If everything was against her.

“Ah believe Mastah Zuo is right Mastah Zenshin.” Chikane spoke for the first time in a long while, having been rather silent and just watching the events unfold. She wanted to intervene on the young girl’s side, showing the flames of her spirit along with not attacking an innocent girl in her own eyes. Heero had beat her to the punch though, and she couldn’t have been more proud of her guild member sticking up for someone who was being ambushed. “This isn’t the time for such a commotion. Leave the girlie alone.” Chikane stood briefly, looking at Heero.

“Heero!” She called out to him, giving him a stern look before it broke into a smile. “Ah’d like to commend you for doing what Ah wanted to. Just know that your guild mastah is right behind you all the way. And Ah think you all are foolish for making assumptions and tryin’ ta get the girlie to submit to what you want. Ah am ashamed of my guild members who would attack her simply because someone, even if they are a guild mastah, stated somethin’. Ah’d like to see her attack someone before Ah take any action against her.” Chikane stated firmly, before sitting down again. She would stick by her morals, even if it lost her a friend in Zenshin.

No one had done any wrong, so this was all just a big fuss for nothing in Chikane’s eyes.

There Axel was, in front of the dragon, ready to fight, but then all of a sudden, Heero, ace of Fairy Tail, stood atop the chandelier along with the dragon.What Heero said surprised Axel. He basically said that everyone should not oppose Vy, as they looked like jerks doing it. Axel was furious at this remark. He understood all of what Heero said, and that ganging up on one person was a bad ideal, but Axel was not going to throw his opinion of dark guilds away just because of what a few people said. "Well Heero, while I do not entirely agree with your view on things, I acknowledge your opinion, and stand down," said Axel, as he sheathed his sword, and flew back down to the crowd. Axel did not want to stand down, but he knew that Heero could easily knock him into a coma with just a fist. Axel found it wise not oppose him, and decided to listen to whatever else he would say.

Lance was snapped out of his trance as soon as a dragon appeared. Lance had not had a good history with dragons before but he was OK for some reason. He saw Rita had walked off to talk to Heero and Lance followed because he wanted to know what the hell was going on just like any other person would. He saw Rita go up onto a chandalere and Lance nodded as he closed his eyes and sprouted his wings to fly up there.

Lance stood next to Rita with his face held low "I am sorry about earlier..." He said with sadness in his eyes. He wouldn't force Rita to forgive him but he really was sorry... Although ‚ he really didn't think it was that bad either. After his apology he listened to what Heero was saying and sided with him and Rita "I agree with them. You shouldn't lock her up." He said with determination in his eye that showed he wasn't going to back down.

Simon gritted his teeth and stared up at the chandelier. He liked to think he had been reasonable. This dragon girl was spying on an important meeting and claiming allegiance to an illegal guild, asking to answer some questions for the Rune Knights was more then generous. Simon shoved his hands in his pockets so no one could see they were balled into fists. This whole thing put a bad taste in his mouth. He couldn't care less about the dragon girl being from Nox Animus his quarrel was with the little girl who called him a pet bird. Simon was a badass as far as he was concerned, a badass with pride. He didn't want to just take this all sitting down. But from the looks of things it would appear he would have to just take it in stride as apparently these people were going to be allowed to do whatever the heck they wanted without any consequences what so ever. He held back screaming and shouting as not to oppose his guildmates who appeared to be defending the Nox Animus mages.

Simon bit his tounge and then just let it all out. He screamed at the people up on the chandelier "Oi oi oi oi oi!!! I am tired of speeches about higher powers and justice and what not! Enough of it! I want you all to know I want nothing more to go full on phoenix ballistic right now and cause all kinds of trouble for everyone. But instead I just want you to get out! This is a meeting for legal guilds and legal guilds alone! I don't care about good or bad or any of that. You aren't supposed to be here so just get out and let us go about our business! This isn't what we are all here for. Heero if you want to have a family reunion please take it outside." Simon stomped his foot really ticked at all of this. This wasn't what the meeting was supposed to be about. Everyone was making a stupidly huge fuss about all of this, he just wanted them gone. No one had anything to benefit from them staying. He just wanted them to get out so things could continue as they should.

Aegiel was more than a little put-out. Not only had he been told to stop a dragon from leaving the building, but the very same dragon was now being stood up for by what looked like a whole wagon-load of Fairy Tail members. He glanced at Kiria's determined face, torn. His mouth turned down as he considered his options: 1. Do nothing. 2. Disobey his Guildmaster's direct orders and stand up for the beast. He shook his head. Neither option sounded appealing, especially since he wasn't even close to completely aware of just what was going on. Honestly, he knew Fairy Tail had a reputation for being reckless, but jumping into an unresolved situation and shouting at everyone for attention was...less than impressive. Aegiel eyed the blue-haired mage that everyone seemed to be Ooo-ing and Aww-ing at. "Heero, was it?" He repeated the name a couple of times out loud so he wouldn't forget. Aegiel would reserve his final judgement for Fairy Tail based off of the sparkling mage's actions, since everyone in his guild seemed to look up to him. A quick glance at the Guildmaster's table showed the Fairy Tail Guildmaster to be passively sitting in her chair, chatting with Master Zuo. At least she had some sense. As a matter-

Wait. Master Zuo!? Aegiel could have sworn he was just standing up to the dragon-Viola, was it?-just moments ago. And here Aegiel was, foolishly running over to guard a door that the dragon- that Viola could have cared less about. Aegiel ground his teeth in frustration. Why was this so complicated? Couldn't someone just DO something and finish with all the inspiring speeches? "Then why aren't you doing something about it?" a tiny voice whispered in the back of his mind. Aegiel ignored it.

He decided to ask his senior guild member what the best course of action was. "Kihia. Kihia, what do we do?" He hoped that he wasn't going to have to hurt the big snake. Serpent blood ran through his veins, after all. Meep stirred, and Aegiel winced. If he was forced to go on the offensive, Meep would take ages to forgive him. He completely overlooked the fact that the dragon was over ten times his size.

Aegiel was ready for some action! Though hopefully, the right kind.

Kihia was perplexed for a moment and lowered Icarus with Ice make ring active, he also signaled for Aegiel to stand down. "Stand down Aegiel...Wait for the Master's next order..." Kihia cold eyes stared at the dragon who had a number of members from Fairy Tail up there on the Dragons side... If she has no intention to harm my allies, friends, or guild members...I have no reason to raise my weapon against it unless told to do so...

Cyrus was watching the events that transpired around this Viola person when he heard a minor guild member begin to whisper, "That dragon... Zenshin, Sabertooth's guildmaster, claims it to be an enemy. We need to fight it if we want to stay alive, and so we don't get on Sabertooth's bad side."

"Oh? Is that what you need to do?" questioned Cyrus putting his arm around the other mages shoulder, "Keep in mind that if you attack, you'd be facing Zuo Cii, Lamia Scales guildmaster, along with the rest of his guild. With all do respect good sir, I'm afraid you don't want to duel me right now, nor do you want to fight any of my guildmates." He made sure the man could see his Lamia Scale tattoo. With a gulp the man agreed to stand down. Cyrus then looked at Aegiel and Kihia and nodded, signaling everything was under control at his end. Quite frankly he was interested on seeing how this would all go down, as far as tension between the guildmasters, and a giant serpent in the middle of the guild hall. He turned to his left and saw a male wizard wearing a long red coat return back to the earth after levitating in the air. He looked at his own white trench coat, comparing the similarities and differences of the two coats, then started talking to him. "Hello there sir, now might be an odd time to talk casually, but how are you today? My names Cyrus Kuma, and I've been trying to find someone interesting to talk to since I arrived. May I ask for your name, and if you don't mind saying, your guild as well? As you might have figured out, I'm from Lamia Scale." He hugged the mage from earlier tighter in his arm, still intimidating him so that he wouldn't leap out and attempt to attack the dragon like he said he would. Although the mage was only standing at 5'5'', he could still be intimidating.

"If you actually listened to what I was saying as opposed to only what you wanted to hear, you'd no that the only things I've accused your guild of are subterfuge and being illegal. There are few things in this world that are truly evil, and one of those things is igonarance" he told the newest member of the party before looking over to Zuo. "You're right Zuo. I'll back off until I get what I need to truly out this guild's true intentions. It just irritates me that they've been convinced that a lawless society will end in anything but fire and brimstone he said before letting out a sigh of discontent. Nox Animus is already outed... Things are moving very ahead of schedule "Dont be stupid Heero! This isn't vandalism or destruction of property! Sparrow won't be so quick to forgive treason! Think of your guild instead of yourself here! he then yelled from his seat, trying to protect a friend of his from future imprisonment... Or worse

Axel was so furious from having to stand down, that he barely heard the person that attempted to speak with him. Axel snapped out of his emotional state fast enough to hear the questions that were asked of him from this mage, named Cyrus Kuma. "Well Cyrus, sorry you had to see me in this state, but anyway, I am Axel Rover, Wind mage! You see those knuckleheads on the chandelier, the fairytail mages? Yea, I am one of them. There are times I disagree with there actions, like now, but I love them like a family. Anyway, aside from the current situation, I am as happy as I am any day! Usually I like to read books in the peace and quiet, but since this place is loud, I sadly did not bring one with me today. So, How about yourself? What are you like?" asked Axel. The more he talked to Cyrus, the more Axel forgot about the situation at hand.

While waiting for Cyrus's response, Axel noticed the man's white trench coat, which looked a bit similar to Axel's long red coat. Yep, I can tell that me and this guy will be good friends. And he is from Lamia Scale. I respect the guild as a whole, thought Axel. He was in a happy place, but Axel was quickly reminded of the situation when the guildmaster of Sabretooth, Zenshin, spoke up. Axel agreed with what he had to say, and really wished his guildmates would get away from those dark guild members. He believed they made Fairytail look bad, and however harsh he felt he was in his thoughts, Axel would fight for what he believed in, no matter what.

"Subterfuge? You mean we tricked you into getting something? Well you're right about that, I couldn't help but come in here for some doughnuts after all." Priscilla said with a laugh before sitting down on Viola and smiling down at Zenshin. "You're just miffed that me and the rest of Radiant Dawn left your guild to do our own thing still." With a sigh, Priscilla laid back on Viola's back and rested her head on her hands behind her head. She didn't understand what Zenshin was going on about, it's not like they had REALLY done anything wrong. Well, that she cared about anyways. "You didn't even know WHY we were here and you still went on and on about how we were spies and shit. If it didn't cause a conflict I'd snap my fingers and down into your shadow you'd go, because right now you're really pissing me and like... I dunno, several other people off? You have a right to speak, yeah, but I think now is the best time to shut yer face, kid." she sighed before a hand appeared from the shadows above Priscilla and dropped a doughnut on her, which she caught and proceeded to eat. "Oh, Viola! Do you want some doughnuts? When you get back into human form, that is, since I doubt they'd do much for you big dragon belly." she said with a giggle as she continued eating and cuddling up to the dragon cutely.

Akryn had watched the whole proceeding, from the bickering, to the antics and areguing and noise, with mild amusement. He had expected as much really. How could he not when all the guilds got together? They had to show off, either their power, skills, or just their enthusiasm. It was a way to unwind after all. So long as it remained relatively peaceful and calm that is.

The arrival of a dragon however changed things. In a big way. As Akryn watched and listened, he began to lean more towards Master Zenshins belief, but decided to remain silent. He was still a very new face, with little pull here. A real influence in the argument would have to be made by Kyll, or Master Zeno, when he finally showed up. But as usual, Zeno was late, and unusually, kyll was doing nothing. Shit. Es needed to make some sort of stance here.

"Wether the girl is innocent or not might not be able to be determined at this time, but I can comfortably say that this disturbance is uneeded? As well as the many hostilities. If this Zenneth fellow and his new guild are as good as you say they are, miss, then why is he not here for official recognition? Have him and his come forth and their intentions be truly known, so that such suspicions can be laid aside. As for now, this meeting should not be interrupted in this way. Shame on master Zenshin for putting you in a corner like this, but he is not the only one to blame. Please, let us all return to a level of civility that can be tolerated?" he asked aloud, trying to be heard over the noise. "Though perhaps the fowl mouthed little girl there should be removed......such disrespect of a guildmaster should not be allowed here.

"Ah, nice to meet you sir Axel, I suppose I should tell you about myself," said Cyrus beginning to grin, "I'm a cloud-make mage, the one and only, as well as a C-Rank member of my guild. I lived as a nomad for most of my life, and became very in tune with magic over that period of time. If I were to describe myself in a word, it would be devoted. I can get lost in things I've set out to do, and I kind of have a one track mind," he said, chuckling nervously. "On the other hand, I am determined to finish anything I start. On another note, what do you think of this so called dark guild, Nox Animus?"

Axel was interested in Cyrus. He was a cloud make mage, which was new to Axel, and he lived as a nomad. When Cyrus asked Axel what he thought of Nox Animus, he went justice mode again. "What do I think of them? I think of them what I think of all dark guilds. A group of people who don't care about the lives of others. People who would senselessly kill others for sheer enjoyment. Anyone who does this has no right to roam around. If I were apart of the MC I would order for execution of them all! Sorry if I sound harsh, but criminals should be treated like criminals, no matter how innocent they look." shouted Axel, loud enough for everyone to hear him, especially the girl who told everyone to shut up. He did not mean for a simple conversation to escalate like that, but Cyrus's question sparked Axel in a way that made him want to speak up.

"Let her speak her mind Akryn. She's only proving my point earlier about ignorance. Honestly, threatening a guildmaster in a gathering of them. You've got real stones, but you need to get a little stronger before you can actually back up your threats. I suggest you abstain from making empty ones, it shows weakness" he said while leaning back on his glorified chair. I'm surprised the only person who shares my blood hasn't taken a position, especially as she's a representative of Eclipse Soul. "That goes for you as well Viola. I take it you didn't turn into a dragon just for show, right? I know you aren't going to attack anyone, so there's only one other option as much as Heero hopes otherwise. So either attack me or turn back into a human, otherwise you're just wasting our time. All I really wanted was to prove the existence of Nox Animus, but now I get to learn more and more about the guild that was only a rumor a few minutes ago? This is the most exciting guild master meeting I've ever been to! Both of you confuse my sense of justice against illegal mages as revenge for the betrayal of one of the best teams I've ever had in Sabertooth, but I'm actually glad you left. I would rather Radiant Dawn do what they choose to do as opposed to stay in a guild they don't want to be in. But you shouldn't be surprised when the consequences come to bite you when what you choose to do is against the law. I didn't make her into a criminal Rin, she chose to become one, so she'll get the same treatment as any other criminal. There's a reason the MC labeled them an illegal guild. And please, have a little dignity when addressing others, we're all allies here in the end. Well, most of us"

Kyll had made her way behind the desserts table holding up a heavenly barrier. Finally she stood there to watch the entire argument. She saw a phoenix near by and she glared at Simon with a if you touch my food I worked so hard I will pop you across the mouth look. Then Heero said one thing about her cooking. She gripped her fist. He said I couldn't cook... Words were spouted everywhere. I can't believe he said... I couldn't cook... She felt her grip getting getting tighter. He said... I couldn't cook... She heard everything around her. Her breathing was getting faster. Finally she held both her hands up to signal everyone to be quiet around her. "I'm not just some doormat to walk on and neither is my cooking, Heero." Kyll said aloud. She looked at Zenshin and walked around to him putting a hand on his back. She looked up at the dragon and grabbed one of her chocolate filled cupcakes. She held it up to the dragon hoping that it would calm her down. Kyll kept a warm smile unlike the rest of them. "Look," Kyll said to Zenshin. "Eclipse Soul is about redemption, but we are full of those who are good and those who are on the brink of evil. As legal guilds we work to transition those who wish to walk on a darker road. You should know this Zenshin. You have a mage you helped." She kept the same smile and tossed the cupcake up and placed it on a plate. She then tossed another on and placed it on the same plate as well handing it over to Priscilla. "Here, take this with you. Help yourself if you please." Kyll gracefully put a hand on Viola's snout, showing her kindness, and kept the same closed eyes and warm smile. "Your loyalties are with freedom... Huh? Our loyalties lie in our hearts." Kyll looked at Zenshin. "We all are naive in our own ways because we follow our loyalties, Zenshin. Which is why you feel as if you are betrayed. Those that you trusted the most... Left." Kyll looked at the dragon and gave a small smile. "As a guild master you must learn that there are those who wish to walk their own path, be it light or dark. It's all a part of the universe. There are mages out there who wish to fight the light and those who wish to fight the dark." Kyll looked back at Zenshin and smiled. "There has been a decrease in damage fines from the Magic Council because they have been so intrigued by this guild." She turned to the dragon still gently massaging her snout with her motherly touch. "I want everyone to get back to their seats and enjoy the food I prepared. Especially you, Mr. I can Create My Own Buffet." She picked at Zenshin.

"Please take some sweets to your guild for the rest to enjoy." She looked back up to the members from Nox Animus making a scene. "Freedom, no rules, it's a great life. Yet freedom doesn't grant everyone the true happiness. Learning and life lessons, no matter what the age you are grant you those. You take in everything the world has to offer." Kyll nodded to herself and looked at the dragon. She gently motioned Viola's head forward and whispered a few heart felt words into her 'ear'. "Do as ye wish, but harm none. That includes yourself. Freedom isn't real. There are rules everywhere, even in your jobs. True happiness lies in those who have an understanding of the world around them. Oh... and don't ruin my sweets. I worked all day yesterday and today on this display. Thank you." Before Kyll turned away she put a hand on Zenshin's shoulder and then gave him a look stating that she may wind up eating her own words later. Kyll kept her patience. She turned away and walked back to the platters where she had left Leonard. She sighed and had hoped her words had reached the dragon. "Well..." She said to Leonard. "There goes that prank." Kyll said looking towards tabls 15.
