My Promise To You [COMPLETE]

Chapter 22: Atlas Flame

Every mage in Crocus moved towards town square, where the king, Toma E. Fiore, and his army were. All the guilds gathered there, even some of those who were eliminated on the first day.

All of you met up with your own guilds. Fairy Tail had been glaring at Sting the whole time, while some of them were teasing you.

"I'm sorry that we can't celebrate after the Grand Magic Games, but I've just received news that this country is in grave danger," Toma apologized. Many people were surprised and shocked. But when everything went silent, the king explained everything, about ten thousand dragons invading the country, along with the Eclipse project.

"Ten thousand dragons?!" Makarov yelped.

"Even though we were no match for the one and only Acnologia." Cana sighed. "Ten thousand of them is even worse."

You and Eris have trained with Acnologia for this moment. It shouldn't be that hard, since he was a dragon himself. Though, you wondered what Acnologia was doing at that moment.

Toma continued, "Right now, a strategy is being formed at the palace. The Eclipse Project."

"That's the thing onii-chan and everyone was talking about the other day..." you muttered.

But the strategy was to eliminate all ten thousand of them with the Eclipse Project, though, some doubted that it would. It might not eliminate all of them, there could be several hundreds of them left, and the king would need your help to get rid of them.

The King lifted his arms and cried out, "Wizard guilds, I request that you would please lend us you aid to slay the dragons that still survive. So please, save this country!"

Many people saw how desperate the king needed all of you. Everyone had cheered, and agreed to take them on.

"These monsters will be nothing to us!" They shouted in determination. Everyone had their hands in the air, and cried out that they will definitely win. The King had begun to cry tears of joy and relief.

Erza spoke to some members of the royal army about your rescue team for Lucy. They were fine, but you had a feeling that Natsu wasn't.

"I'm going to go on another rampage!" Gajeel shouted in determination. Levy was next to him, being all worried.

"Eris, you and I know what to do. Our training will not go to waste," you said.

He nodded his head in agreement with a serious look on his face. Sting and Rogue, along with their exceeds, came up to you. They grinned, happy to know that they will be fighting along with you and Eris, just like seven years ago.

The King began to thank all of you, "Arigato... arigato... arigato... arigato... Kabo..."

"K-K-Kabo...?"

"Oh! Um...everyone d-do your best!" The king stammered. Everyone cheered again.

Sting came up to you and asked, with a smug look on his face, "Are you ready, Mini Dragon Killer?"

Eris started to laugh, recalling the memories we had seven years ago. You slapped him upside the head, causing him to twitch in annoyance.

You said, irritated, "Make sure not to hurt yourselves again. I don't want anymore cuts like last time."

"Huh...you're like their mother. Plus, that was the time when they didn't deny that they liked you," Eris snorted. Sting and Rogue blushed furiously, and both of your guilds saw it. You also blushed because around that time, you had no idea. Lector started to giggle, along with Frosch.
