The Great Second Trade War has finally ended and I finally got information on where my father was. I sat on a branch of a small dead tree in a forest near Magnolia staring at my father. Last time I saw him was when my mom had died. It has been 300 years since those events. He was with a girl. She was about 20 or so with long blonde hair and a white dress. I kept on observing. No way. I looked closer. It looks as if he and she is in love?? My father with another woman or girl?? What is going around in his head. Father looked calm and sad. It gave me flashbacks to when I used to spend time with him and mom in our village before the tragic events started. I touch my face. Tears? I shook my head and wiped my eyes.
"That's my mom" I hear. I turned around. A boy with the same shade of blond appeared in front of me. He looked as if he was four years old. He wore torn clothes and held a robe that looked like scales around himself. My eyes widen.
"Your mom?" I ask.
"Yes you're my sister aren't you. I can sense dad in you. That's my dad. That's your dad too." He points at my father. I look with him at my father and the blonde girl and look back at this kid. This kid does look like my father. He is then my brother or I should say, half brother? I was shocked.
"I'm Cirki. What's your name?" I ask.
"Larcade"

It's finally the second to last day of the Grand Magic Games. Fairy Tail has risen to the top after their utter defeat on the first day. They are in par with Sabertooth which has taken the lead since the beginning. Erzas fight with the 100 monsters the day before still shocked people in town. Right now its the beginning of the fight that everyone even myself has been waiting for. Natsu and Gajeel versus Sting and Rogue. All four are dragonslayers and all four, based on my memory, got transported from 400 years ago. Unfortunately I won't have a chance to see the fight because after all these days, I still wasn't allowed to enter the castle or find any other information about the dark magic. But today, I will have to break the rules and use some of my power to force myself inside. The dark magic has been increasing more than the past years, based on Jellal.
I start my plan the minute Natsu and Gajeel's fight begins. The fight will distract everyone.
Fortunately I do know the magic of invisibility because I learned it from someone who uses it a while back. It's one of the magics i let out of my sealing lacrima on my wrist but nobody knows i know this magic but me. I flew and drop into one of the castle balconies. I cross my fingers hoping that through all of this is don't get caught. I picked up a white shining lacrima from my pocket. Jellal said that we should keep in touch so i gave him a communication lacrima so we could communicate.
"Are you inside?" I hear Jellals voice.
"I'm by the Balcony. I'm heading inside." I reply.
Jellal has decided to go through the back doors disguised as a palace guard so he can look at the bottom floors. I decided to meet with him after taking look at the top floors. I walk inside the room the balcony belonged to. I became invisible.
I was in the princess's bedroom. I hurry out of there in case she was in this room somewhere. The hallway outside was huge and wide.
"This year's Grand Magic Games is the most interesting and fun." Two guards surprisingly rushed past me not noticing me.
"You got that right. It's because of Fairy Tail"
They opened a door at the end of the hallway and go inside and disappear.
"Cirki you have to come here and see this. There's a secret chamber under the castle near the Jail cells." I hear Jellal in the Lacrima. I use teleportation magic to teleport to Jellal's voice. The Lacrima shatters the minute I spot Jellal looking at the rigid stone walls of a small hallway. We must be underground. I take off my invisibility. He recognizes me.
"Woah. Another one of ur magic u picked up from ur eathernano magic?" He says.
"Yes." I nod. The jail cells was to my right and a small pathway into darkness was in front of us.
"I hit something I dont know and this path opened."
I came close to the opening and the Dark Magic emitting from the path is huge.
I point at the path. "It's in there," I say.
Jellal walks inside first and I follow. He had a torch already. We walked in endless darkness. It seemed like the path would never close. After what seemed like forever, the path got wider till we reached a huge stone covered room. I immediately sense something I recognize. Something from 400 years ago. "No way." I mumble. There is no way it exists. I had an idea what the dark magic is. I take Jellal torch and walk towards the object showed in the darkness. The moment i saw the linings of the structure in front of me, i dropped the torch. The fire runs out and it becomes dark.
"Cirki what are you doing?" I hear Jellal nearby. I shake my head.
"S-sorry," I picked up the torch and made a small flame on my finger and lit the torch. My fire magic. Jellal takes the torch and shines it on the structure.
"What in the world is this?" He asked.
"It's the Eclipse Portal," I answer.
Jellal turns towards me.
"It's a massive structure that requires a lot of magic to work. It probably was sucking loose magic from the Grand Magic Games all these years," I say.
"It reminds me of Zeref," Jellal says.
I sigh. "Of course it would. I have seen this very structure four hundred years ago. It was used for reasons the my father wanted it to be used for," I say. The Eclipse Portal is a portal that can transport things or people or dragons across time: to the future or the past.
"The key to activate it is celestial spirit magic." I tell Jellal.
It was Anna Heartfilia, Lucy's ancestor who opened the gates to transport the five dragonslayers to the future. She used this very same portal.
"I thought it was destroyed the minute after it was done being used," I mumble.
I stare and the my eyes go blank.
"What is it?" Jellal says.
"The last time this was used was to transport people to the future. I know that which means if this gate was opened again, the other side would be the past, 400 years ago." I panic.
"What will happen?"
"I have no idea what the kingdom is trying to do but 400 years ago is the era of the dragons and the beginning of the 100 years war my father started, the dragon festival. That means if the portal is opened dragons will rush into this world and it will repeat the past. Many people will die." I say.
"No it will be used to receive a dragon cannon from 400 years ago" we hear a voice behind us. A bright light lit up the room. Jellal and I turned around. Jellal put on his hood. Crap. I tap Jellal and teleport him outside the castle. He's a runaway prisoner if he was caught he would be locked and Erza would not like that. "Who are you?" I say.
"He's my knight, Arcadios" A girl says. She had green hair and she wore a crown.
"Stand back princess Hisui. This intruder needs to be questioned," Arcadios, the man in white armor says.
I turned around and stared at the Eclipse Portal. It was shiny and new. They must have cleaned it up and got it ready. The designs on the large doors are easily to be seen.
"Who thought you about this structure?" I ask.
"Its classified information. We cannot tell you." Arcadios says.
"You have to." I turn around. "400 years ago this was used by Zeref to teleport people into a different time."
"Its a type of time machine. That person told us so." The princess says.
"Who?" I ask.
"Don't tell her," Arcadios says. I stare at him.
"Who?" I ask again.
The princess sighs, "This guy he said he came from the future and he told us-"
"Enough Hisui. We do not know this person." Arcadios says.
I show my wrist. The black Fairy Tail emblem appeared. I was desperate to know this plan of theirs. The Eclipse Portal is deep dark 100% dark magic and it should never be used again. "I'm from the guild, Fairy Tail. If you tell me, I might ask Lucy to help you. You need a celestial spirit right. The portal needs one." I say.
They both stare at each other. "Okay deal. A guy from the future told us that 1000 dragons will appear in Crocus and that 400 years ago there was a dragon cannon invented to destroy dragons. If only we could fetch it... thats why these gates exist." Arcadios says.
The Dragon Cannon doesn't exist. It isn't even a legit thing. Whoever gave them this info is telling lies. But I can't just say that it doesn't exist. They will ask me for proof and I can't just say I existed 400 years ago.
An old man walked in the big cave like room. The princess and Arcadios turned around. "We have captured Lucy Heartfilia. She's in the dungeons." My eyes widened.
"What??" I say. I teleport out of there before they turn around and say anything to me. I appear beside Jellal, Meredy and Ultear.
"What happened?" Jellal says. I explain everything.
"There is no way 1000 dragons would appear. Nobody has seen them in centuries," Ultear says.
"Exactly," I say. "They have cought Lucy. They want her to open the gates. It will only open to 400 years ago. I believe the 1000 dragons will be coming from the gate. They have been tricked."
"Natsu, Gajeel and Wendy were there when Lucy was taken," Meredy says. "I heard from the Fairy Tail Master."
"What happened?" I ask.
"They found a dragon graveyard behind the arena by accident and some soldiers have got them. Natsu and them are going to go fetch her the minute the sun appears." Meredy says.
"What about tomorrows games? Its the last day," I ask.
"Fairy Tail probably has replacements. They are strong," Ultear says.
"I'm going to go find this person who has been telling them lies." I say. "I leave it to Natsu and them to get their comrade." I sigh. "My whole existence is to erase anything my father has done from this world. I will always stray from the path everyone else in the guild will take."
"Cirki," Jellal says. "Everyone in Fairy Tail, Even us are your comrades. We may walk our own path like what our independent guild does but i consider Erza and everyone else our close friends and you should too."
Jellal was right.
Jellal looks at the arena. "I forgot to say. I have found a suspicious person today at the arena after I was teleported out of that cave right in the crowd of the games. Whoever it is reeks of dark magic. It may be the person telling the lies. I am going to find this person as well. I will search with you Cirki."
I nod and take my leave on my scythe. I have to find this man.
