⚒ eighth - [ video ]

It's time.

{ Guess who has been hit by the AU event? Zeref's eyes are red, surrounded by black circles. Only his face is shown, at the moment, but below his necklace, just about where his heart is, is a black symbol, consisting of two crossed hammers framed by black lines pointing downwards, almost like a heart. Zeref looked away from the camera for a bit, frowning, before turning back. }

We cannot wait any longer. I have chosen Tartarus' Third Master.

{ Private to Silver, Sayla, Marde Guille, and... the surprise Third Master }

{ Zeref moves the camera, enough to show off the surrounding area. Everglade. }

I have decided. It came down to two of you, and I feel that the successor I have chosen will know best how to deal with our most pressing obstacle. We will meet before nightfall. Make a good impression on our Third Master. { A beat. } She is not as forgiving as I am.

[And he's back to being smug.]

Better than you have tried, fairy twerp.

[ Her reply is immediate. ] No. They haven't. Or else you would already be dead, and we wouldn't be having this conversation.

Until another god steps up to the challenge, there are none that can match my power. Lest of all some pint-sized brat that spouts threats in an attempt to hide her jealousy, poorly.

[ She laughs. It's not an evil laugh - in fact it sounds rather genuine. Kind of... normal-Mavis-like. ]

Oh, sorry. [ She doesn't sound sorry for laughing at him. ] It's just that your ego never fails to amuse me.

I've never even considered you to be in the same league as Zeref or myself.

That's because I'm not. You're both well below me. I mean, how many mountains have you turned inside out? How many worlds have you reformed in your image!? How many towers have you built from the twisted remains of entire empires!?

None. Because you're just a pipsqueak. Zeref shows promise, which is the only reason I have shown any interest. That courtesy does not extend to you.

You think what you do because, unlike you, the two of us don't need to boast, or make flagrant our own displays of power.

But go ahead and keep thinking that. Your delusions will come crashing down around your head soon enough. Times are changing, jester, and I don't believe you'll be able to keep up.

That's where you're wrong, shrimp. I am the change that is coming.

All that power you hold? It comes from me. You'd best not squander it, lest I rip it from your very soul.
