~Gray's Pov~ 

Erza asked for us to go back to the temple and give a letter to Mira. We was heading to the exit to where that Invel was standing there looking toward us. "Leaving?" he asked looking toward us both with no emotion as I stepped forward looking at him. Knowing this is the bastard that nearly killed Juvia. I found her half frozen and nearly dead. She made her team fall back and she fought this monster alone. "I can't stand your face so yes" I answered harshly as he smirked getting up in my face. "Gray" Natsu spoke.

"Does E.N.D control you?" Invel asked as Natsu explained this when he informed us that Zeref was his older brother. Natsu explained how somehow he was E.N.D but was always confused by it since he found out himself. "No he doesn't but Priestess Heartfilla does, we are going back to her temple so move it four eyes" I answered as many guards were staring toward us in shocked as Invel's hand turned into a fist as it started to snow only around to two of us. He was trying to make me cold. 

I couldn't even feel it. I took off my top throwing it to the ground moving my arms behind my head. "This is weak cold buddy" I spoke as he soon looked annoyed. "Invel" Brandish soon snapped walking over as the snow stopped she pushed Invel backwards slightly as she was glaring toward him. "You dare attack Lord Zeref's young brother and his friend?" Brandish snapped as many guards started whispering. "They are leaving without permission and orders are the they stay" Invel replied as Brandish smirked.

"Wrong Priestess Lucy stays her guest are allowed to come and go while she stays, can you understand that or do I have to bother Lord Zeref's time with his soon to be wife just because you dared attack his guest and brother?" Brandish replied as Invel's eyes widen. She was kinda scary. She reminded me of Mira hearing how she spoke. "You have gotten cocky since dating Dimaria" Invel spoke as the snow started again as he made floating ice swords next to him. Brandish's smirk turned into a glare.

"You want to fight us three huh?" she asked as a sword showed up at Invel's neck. "Make that four Randy" Dimaria spoke as Invel looked toward Dimaria who was smirking. "You lost to that Phoenix and yet you have pride still?" Invel asked. "She can kick Irene's and August's ass and I lasted longer than you would ice freak" Dimaria answered as it started to snow everywhere. Soon even I was feeling the cold as snow was sticking to the ground. I saw guards turning into ice from the cold as Natsu had to set himself on fire to stay warm.

"What is going on here?" an older man spoke harshly walking over with a staff helping him walk. The three people in front of us went pale seeing him. "Lord August" they spoke as this was a guy who lost to Lucy? "I am August the head Spriggan, I am sorry about these three Priestess Guards" August spoke bowing his head toward us as he aimed his staff toward the three people who stood down right away. "Dimaria and Brandish was saving us, Invel was the one to start a fight" Natsu spoke as August raised my eyebrow.

"Invel explain yourself before I let Irene punish you" August ordered as the snowing had stopped but the snow on the ground was still around. The guards being freed from the ice by other guards who somehow were spared by the cold weather. "I was informed none of them was allowed to leave so I was keeping them here" Invel replied as August moved his staff down not long aiming toward the three. Brandish and Dimaria moved to mine and Natsu's side face. "Thanks Prince Pinkie" Dimaria whispered.

Natsu looked slightly annoyed as both were hiding from this August. "As the most powerful Spriggan I wonder is it true you lost to Priestess Heartfilla?" Invel soon asked as this old dude was the most powerful of the most powerful? That kinda shocked me. "It was a draw but she nearly did beat me and that was her going easy like she did on Dimaria, no one has ever made her go full out but Lord Zeref says no one could survive it" August answered as Invel looked toward him in shock.

"That weak human got you in a draw?" Invel nearly shouted in pure shock as August was in his face in the blink of his eye with a dark aura. "You dare speech ill of the future Queen?" he asked harshly as Invel looked scared out of his mind. Soon power was coming off the old man as he felt more powerful than Gildarts and Gramps mixed together. Natsu and I both stepped back in pure shock and fear as Invel begged for forgiveness. "Irene will be speaking to you late once she hears about this Invel" August spoke walking off.

Invel was paler than before as Dimaria smirked going into Invel's face. "So big shot think your the favorite Spriggan now? Lord Zeref is going to kick your ass if he hears what you said about Lucy" Dimaria spoke laughing slightly as Brandish sighed. Invel only walked off looking scared still as Brandish passed me a crystal. "Throw it to the ground when you want to go to the temple Leroy has the one that will send you back here when you wish to return" Brandish spoke as she and Dimaria walked off together.

"We saved their ass and they saved us from a long ass walk" Natsu spoke as I nodded slightly wondering about this August. He was so powerful and yet couldn't beat Lucy with this new Phoenix Magic? How powerful was Lucy now? How powerful is that August? Would he be a huge threat?
