(Jason's POV)
I walked through the doors of the guild and saw that Erza was holding Erion as she smiled, the two of each other in their own world.
"Hm." I said, "That's good."
I am glad that the two of them get along, all things considered. I never thought that she would placed in this position; having a baby brother and me as the father.
"Jason?" I heard someone say
I looked to my right and saw Lucy walk up to me, "Yea?"
She had a slight smile, "Do you mind if we talk? In private?" She asked
"Uh..." I said, "Sure."
She nodded and walked past me, "Follow me."
"This better not lead to sex. I am drained." I thought to myself as I followed Lucy out the guild
I had just gotten in there and here I am, walking out of there again. I do wonder what Lucy is going to talk about. I have not had a talk with her alone in such a long time; she's almost always with Team Natsu and all. Every since the War and after I married Mavis, she's been kind of distant and almost never interacts with me. We didn't have a falling out the last time I checked and I am sure we were in good terms.
Several minutes later, she was sitting on a bench as I stood next to her, she was looking at the small river that ran through the city.
I looked at her, "What's up?" I asked
She had a nervous look on her face, "Jason..." She said, "I am aware of your true nature....I really am....."
"Yea?" I said
"But.." She said as she looked ahead, "I don't know where I'll fit into it...."
"Into what?" I asked
"I want to be with you, I really do...." She told me with a frown, "But....."
I sat down next to her, "You don't have to do anything if you feel forced, Lucy." I said, "We can continue our relationship as it is."
"No..." She said softly, "I don't want to be just a sex friend. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy it.....I enjoy you....but I want more....."
"I see." I said with a sigh, "You are not the only one that just came at me with commitment. And now of all time. There is so much going on with me, I find it hard to keep up."
"I know, Jason, and I am sorry." She said
"Don't apologize." I said as I looked at her, "I care about you, Lucy, I really do. You're the first woman I have been with in this world...."
"But you love Mavis and Kagura, right?" She said as she looked down
"My love is so great it can expand outwards...." I said a I patted her cheek, "You will be able to get some of it, don't worry...."
"Yes...but...." She said softly
"Tell me how you really feel." I told her, "Don't be afraid...."
"Jason, i want to be yours...." She said, "But I don't want anyone after me...I have to be your last one....."
"Ah..." I said with a chuckle, "And by last one..."
"Your wife, your girlfriend, whatever...." She said softly, "I want to be the last one, however much you intend to have."
"Hm...." I said, "Is that so?"
"Yes...." She said, "But I also don't want to overcommit myself....you know? I want to go on adventures with my friends, be a Fairy Tail Mage..."
I wrapped my arm around her and pulled her closer to me, "It's okay, live your life." I said kissing the top of her head, "I'll wait....I don't mind....Mavis and Kagura, they'll accept you I am sure."
"Y-Yea...." She said softly
"Whenever you are ready." I told her, "I'll give you my word, you will be the last one."
"Okay...." She said
"Also, it's wise for you to know that I will have plenty of children." I told her with a chuckle, "There's already a son from the future trying to kill me and Mavis and Kagura want babies. So there's that..."
"Wow..." She chuckled, "That's something....."
"Yea...." I said, "It is....."
"Hopefully all goes well."

(Third Person POV)
[Blazing Acolytes Camp, Border of Fiore]
Therion sweated as he took a step back, allowing another man to walk forwards. "A-Aeron...." He said shakily, "Y-You are here....."
The man he was looking at was a tall man, almost as tall as Maliketh who stood in the middle of the camp next to the bonfire, he was wearing a black sleeveless shirt with grey pants and black combat boots. He had white hair that was combed into a slick back and piercing orange eyes. His body was slim but really muscular and he had a large scar on his left shoulder that ran to his chest which was covered by his shirt.
He had an intense aura, every step he took slightly trembled the ground as the air itself was slightly warped by his magic power. All of the cultists were cowering away, trying not to be caught in the man's Ire.
Maliketh stood there, staring at this newcomer, "And you are?"
Aeron spat on the ground as he looked at Maliketh, "That's my line, punk." He said with an angry scowl, "Just who the fuck do you think you are? You killed Nirvana."
Maliketh nodded, "I did." He said, "What of it?"
"I'm only going to say this once." Aeron said, "You will hand over the Dragon Queen with no complaints and you will go and bring me Jason Darkborne's head at once. The only reason you are here and doing His Holiness's work is because I was busy in Guiltina...but here I am to oversee your job."
"And I asked you, who are you?" Maliketh said, "What makes you think that I, Maliketh, will obey you."
Aeron gave him a glare as he released an aura of magic power, shaking the ground violently.
"You stupid little shithead." Aeron growled, "You are but a runt from the future, brought forth by His Holiness to do his bidding, that is all!!!"
He raised his fist as flames erupted from them.
Maliketh then felt an odd heat coming from behind him. He glanced behind and noticed that the bonfire was being warped and being pulled foward, towards Aeron who was glaring at the Black Knight.
"Hm...." Maliketh said, "Interesting....this magic power.....Dragon Slayer Magic..and fire? A bit overused, don't you think?"
"Fire?" Aeron said, "Don't make me laugh...I am much more than just Fire!!!"
He waved his other hand and in an instant, a massive bolt of lightning struck right next to Maliketh and exploded violently, the Black Knight feeling the intense magic power that came from it.
"What? Blue Lightning?" He said with a bit of surprise
Aeron glared at him, "I am Alatreon's chosen, his personal student!!" He said, "I am Aeron The Blazing Dragon!!!"
"The Blazing Black Dragon Slayer!!!"
