For the past three days, I have been extremely sick with my throat, have not slept for two days and only yesterday was able to take a short break after going to the hospital and buying medicine.
On the bright side, I had a few extra chapters already written, so this illness won't affect anything this week.
The other announcement is that the week of the 17th I'm going to take it as a mini-vacation, that date is my birthday, so there will be no chapters, it will also help me to relax a bit from all the stress I have accumulated.

"I'm sorry, but we have no answers" - Freed said as he looked at Laxus with a frown - "There is no trace of the island anywhere after Acnalogia appeared"
"Grandfather" - Laxus muttered as he gritted his teeth furiously, only to sigh regretfully - "This was not what I wished for."
After the news of [Tenrou Island]'s disappearance, Laxus had been chosen as the new guild master of [Fairy Tail], something that frightened some, though after seeing the blond's change in attitude, they let out a sigh of relief.
"How did Tohru-san and the others take it?" - Laxus asked with a frown as he remembered the dragons accompanying the strange white-haired man.
"They seem to be acting normally, so the hope that they are still alive, is quite high" - Freed answered seriously as he asked his leader what he would do now that he had taken control, something he had dreamed of for years.
"I will follow in the old man's footsteps, though that doesn't mean I won't put my plans in motion" - Laxus answered seriously - "[Fairy Tail] will be a huge family, but I won't allow the weak, our members will have to join, so we can show the old man and the others, that [Fairy Tail] hasn't fallen."
"I will give your orders to the others" - nodded Freed as he withdrew.
"Grandfather" - Laxus murmured as a treacherous tear ran down his cheek - "I promise to protect the guild while you're gone."
"Laxus-sama" - muttered Evergreen as she looked at her leader.
"I need some time alone, please" - sighed Laxus as he turned away because he didn't want anyone to see him showing weakness.
"Ok" - sighed Evergreen as she quietly retreated, though before she left, she looked in the direction of the window and sighed again as she remembered the white-haired idiot she had befriended - "Idiot."

"Are you sure they're okay?" - Ultear asked as she looked at the dragoness.
"Yes, I can sense their auras, though they seem to be inside a temporary freeze spell" - Tohru replied with a frown.
"Temporary stasis?" - Ultear asked with a frown as he pulled out his sphere and started doing calculations on the temporal stream, though not being in the area, there was no way he could know the final result - "I think we'd better go to the site, so I can make sure."
"Ok, we'll do it after my shift is over" - Tohru answered while looking at Kanna, who was eating silently - "But for now, please take care of Kanna-chan, she needs support"
"I will" - nodded Ultear as she walked to the little white-haired girl and gave her a hug - "Don't worry, he's fine."
"Lucoa-sama" - murmured Wendy as she sighed regretfully.
"She's strong, she'll be fine" - smiled Tohru as she made a cool pose.
"Hai" - smiled Wendy as she wiped her tears.
* * * * *
"I think this is it" - muttered a beautiful woman with short black hair and purple locks, sapphire blue eyes, but the most distinctive features were that of a spiral shaped horn coming out of her forehead, and a long blue tail - "I can feel Tohru's aura in this place, and if so, then I found a way I can stop this war between our two factions."
The woman quickly disappeared from the place and headed in the direction where she felt the aura of her former friend.
* * * * *
"Hmm, this place is interesting" - muttered a young woman with red hair, two horns sticking out of her head, who was only wearing a black cloak covering her gigantic breasts and black panties - "I can even instinctively feel an aura of strange origin that makes me shiver"
The young woman smiled fiercely as she debated on whether it was a good idea to go through with her plan, or just seek out this strange entity for a bit of fun, and who knows, maybe do something more exciting if necessary.
What, regardless of her current appearance, she had centuries of existence.
"Let's see if you're fun enough to entertain me" - growled the girl as a pair of red wings came out from her back - "Oh? Tohru is heading in the same direction, maybe my two plans will come to fruition at the same time?"
The girl let out a "cute" laugh full of madness and excitement as she licked her lips before taking flight towards her destination.
* * * * *
"And I thought in this place I could rest" - muttered a man with long black hair, red eyes, wearing a black business suit - "I overlooked Tohru because she didn't come looking for me, or didn't detect me, I honestly don't care, but that Lucoa, that girl from the order faction, and now that little crazy girl also showed up, I feel it's better I leave before they include me in their little confrontation."
"Fafnir-san?" - A tan-skinned man asked - "What are you doing out here?"
"Is that strange that I'm out here?" - Asked the man named Fafnir as he gave a bored look to the tanned skinned young man.
"Well, most of your time is spent locked in your room, so yes, it is strange" - replied the tanned boy - "Did you finally discover the true power of beautiful girls?"
Fafnir gave the strange tan-skinned man a bored look before returning to his room.
"Ren, you should leave Fafnir-san alone, you know very well that he's not interested in that kind of thing, Men ~" - said a short man with messy brown hair.
"Come on, Ichiya-san, he has potential if we fix him up a little more and show him the way of gentlemanliness" - replied Ren while folding his arms.
"I know, but everyone chooses their own path" - replied Ichiya as he shook his head - "By the way, we have a direct mission from our guild master."
"Bob-san sent us on a mission?" - Ren asked with surprise - "Strange, he usually doesn't order anything."
"It's because it has to do with [Fairy Tail]" - replied Ichiya seriously - "Such it seems that a large part of their strongest members, have disappeared after [Acnalogia's] attack."
Ren's expression changed when he heard this before he sighed because he had grown slightly fond of the members of the allied guild, after all, they were crazy, but they had something that made them fit in no matter the situation.
"Why is Jenny yelling?" - Ren asked as he frowned.
"I guess it's because Kurama-dono was also in the place, although according to Laxus they are still alive" - replied Ichiya as he started to think - "I honestly don't know if this is true, or it's a way to do damage control."
"Knowing how lucky they are, I'm sure they are still alive" - muttered Ren as he noticed with surprise how Fafnir poked his head out - "What's going on?"
"I would like to know more about it" - said Fafnir with an apathetic expression.
"You can come with us if you wish" - replied Ren as he gave him a thumbs up.
Fafnir was silent before nodding because now that there were so many dragons on the continent, it was better that he made his presence and intentions clear, not to mention that he was curious about that strange presence he had felt months ago - "Ok, I'll come with you"
"I'm surprised, I didn't expect this answer, Men" - Ichiya muttered while striking a dramatic pose - "Though I have to admit that your perfume is wonderful today, Fafnir-dono"
Fafnir gave him an annoyed look as his eyebrow twitched slightly because if there was one thing he hated about his current home, it was that he had to tolerate this idiot and, what made it worse, was that he couldn't kill him because he was the guild's ace.
"We better go before I lose control of my actions" - Fafnir said as his hands transformed into dragon claws.
"Ok, let's go right away" - nodded Ren as he grabbed his leader from the man and dragged him out of the place.
If there was one thing he had learned after spending so much time with his new friend Fafnir, it was that he was calm until you made him lose his patience, and in that case, there was only one thing left to do, escape as fast as possible before chaos broke out.
Fafnir sighed in irritation before fixing the collar of his clothes and walking behind Ren, who despite being less annoying than Ichiya, was starting to be a real friend to him, at least as long as he didn't talk about women, which Fafnir didn't seem to have much interest in.
"Let's see how it all plays out, though I hope things don't get out of hand because I don't want to do anything right now" - Fafnir muttered as he walked over to where Ichiya and his small group, the [Trimens] were gathered together along with a strange bald man who was wearing women's clothing.
"Oh? It's a surprise to see you, Fafnir-chan ~" - said Bob, the guild master of [Blue Pegasus].
