It was a nice day in Magnolia, even if half of the town was destroyed. Ever since the war with Alvarez the citizens of Fiore have been rebuilding destroyed towns. Magnolia, being in the middle of it all, was one of the most destroyed and last repaired towns. Currently Magnolia was being repaired by the guilds that fought in the war, that is, Mermaid Heel, Sabertooth, Quatro Cerberus, Blue Pegasus and, of course, Fairy Tail. Thankfully, everyone was healed and Wendy and Porlyusica restored Shelia's magic. Even Makarov survived the war. Wendy also healed Laxus and the Thunder God Tribe. Fairy Tail won't disband again. Gildarts decided to stay with Cana and train the new members. Originally, Team Natsu was going to go on a 100-year Quest, but they, too, decided to stay because they don't want to leave their family again. Gray and Juvia got together and Jellal finally asked Erza on a date. Natsu had finally noticed Lisanna and he and Lucy were planning for him to ask her out. Carla had accepted Happy's fish. All was well.

But not for long…

-Somewhere in Fiore-

"Yes! Yes! That is exactly what I need. All this Ethernano would have surely summoned the Dragon of Apocalypse but he is gone now. Nothing stands in my path! All I need to do is draw the attention of the Magic Council and, if everything goes to plan, they will send those pesky guild mages to deal with me. As if! And while they're fighting, I will collect the excess magic in the air and do the ritual. Then I will become the most powerful human in the whole universe! I will become the Master Of Death!" The figure laughed.

On the desk in the middle of the room were two books, one much, much older than the other, and a notebook full of anagrams and runes. The oldest book was closed and on the cover was some strange symbol. It was a circle inside of a triangle that had a line going through it. Underneath that something was written in a strange language.

The other book, however, was open on the page 249. It said:

"I have spent most of my life trying to translate this book and all I've managed to do is translate the information about the ritual that will awaken Death. The book seems like it was a journal or a grimoire of a wizard that had lived a long time ago, even before the dragons. It was written in many languages, many of which I have been able to translate, Some, however, seemed to be just squiggles, runes and symbols I have never seen before.

A few entrées were even written in languages we know and speak today. Mostly used were written English, Latin, Spanish and French. Our international Language, Japanese, was also used quite a lot. Now, as for the ritual, there wasn't much information I could find and translate but what I have found will be I in the following chapters. It won't be a direct translation.

Chapter 13

Here it is:

Before doing the ritual to awaken Death, the caster must be ready to do magic on such a scale. The caster must also have the required equipment and follow the steps written in the next chapter. If the caster does not have enough magic or the place of the ritual is not saturated in magic than the ritual will use the casters life force to power itself… "

But whoever translated the text should have done it better. If they had, the mysterious figure would have probably thought twice about awakening Death.

For Death has no master and Death hasn't been asleep at all.

TBC…

A/N: I know I shouldn't have started another fanfic when I haven't finished my other ones, but I had this in my head for so long and I couldn't wait anymore. Enjoy, and if you do, like and leave a review.
