The fog didn't matter to Aidan, but he clearly felt that it was blocking the wizards' perception. It was harmless, but at the same time it caused a suspicious feeling. Especially when a dozen auras of life came out from the side of the lighthouse, and at a fairly high speed headed towards the trinity of young wizards.
On top of that, these auras were somehow strange. Aidan was trying to find a reason ...
The guy tensed sharply, and then felt the edge of the boat and dipped his head under the water.
- Hey ?! Who is it?! - shouted Mira.
But, there was no answer, Aidan sharply opened his eyes under the water, and they immediately sparkled with a silvery glow:
"Interesting ... Energy of death? This is the first time I feel like this, I see a lot died here. But, these people are definitely alive "- turning his gaze towards the approaching silhouettes, Aidan exhaled, and then all the surrounding water simply froze. An unkind light shone in the guy's eyes, and the fog immediately went cold around and began to dissipate, as if frightened by the grave cold emanating from the wizard's body. To him, such pathetic fog magic is just childish tricks. A simple wizard could get lost here, but not an ice wizard!
- Ahh! What the heck! - Someone shouted in the distance. Aidan chuckled, realizing that his ice had already reached these impudent men on the magic boat. In addition, having scattered the fog, he was now even able to see two adult men who were staring at their surroundings in amazement, not understanding why the fog suddenly began to dissipate.
Mira and Erza approached the edge, and then Mirajane laughed.
- It looks like they were surprised! Now be surprised even more bastards!
- AND?
Aidan just blinked as Mira jumped onto the ice and, trying to keep her balance, suddenly returned to the boat:
- Heck! How slippery!
Aidan laughed and got out of the boat himself, then the magicians began to get out of theirs, trying to keep balance. At this, the guy just grinned and waved his hand towards his friends. At the same moment, their shoes froze and sharp dark blades of ice appeared on them.
- Have fun! - having said this, the guy deftly slid along the ice towards the opponents. On this ice, he was in his native element, sliding was even easier for him than just walking. Especially after long travels in the mountains, in this he became a real master! In the past, he would never have thought he could handle skates so dexterously. Of course, he could change the ice, but why, if everything is so great?
With a furious laugh, an ice club appeared on Aidan's arm and he burst into the ranks of the enemies.
- Ahh! He's a magician!
- What the fuck ?!- Keep it!
- Catch the bastard!
- The Master said to catch them!
- Pull out weapons!
Meanwhile, Erza and Mira exchanged glances. The rival spirit was reflected in the sparkling looks:
- I'll finish off more!
- Hmpf! We'll see!
Trying to keep their balance, they tried to roll on the ice, but their skills left much to be desired. While they ate and ate reached Aidan, he was already knocking the spirit out of the last opponent.
- Damn ... I almost made it, - Mira sighed heavily, sitting down on a bunch of battered people in purple robes:
- And who are they? - She poked the tip of her new "shoe" into the cap of a mustachioed old man in a mask.
Erza skated happily nearby, constantly falling and rising - she seemed to get a taste.
Aidan threw the recently beaten boy at Mira's feet:
- Ask him. - he was still conscious and only shouted:
- Hwaaatit! Don't hit anymore! I beg...
- Wow, - Mira grinned viciously and immediately put the tip to the neck of a small guy who looked no more than twenty, still a beginner ...
- Now listen here, I do not know where you crawled out rats, but you will tell me everything! Understood me?!
- Y-yes! - stuttering nodded the guy, whose neck was already bleeding, he swallowed and continued to nod tremblingly:- I'll tell you everything, just hurry up ... I'm not your enemy! I was forced, if I don't do anything, he ... He is my rest!
- Hmm, is he? Who is this, "he"? Mirajane asked coldly. But, at that moment, Aidan suddenly came up and sat down next to the guy in the cap, and then abruptly tore off his mask covering his eyes and nose. Without further ado, the guy grabbed his lower jaw and slightly lifted Mira's leg:
- What are you doing? - the girl was embarrassed for the first time in Aidan's memory. But, he did not focus on this, but simply tore the mantle of the magician in the area of โโthe collarbone. He screamed painfully, but Aidan immediately shut his mouth.
- Wow, - Mira sat down next to her and frowned: - It's the mark of that guild ...
On the guy's shoulder was a harpy symbol, and white.
"The White Harpy," Aidan nodded, surprising the mage who tried to mumble something. Then the guy finally let him talk.
- S-sir! Master! I really am from the White Harpy! Have you heard about our guild? Ohh, thank the gods, Mitroy did not let us down!
- What is he talking about? - finally Erza deftly slipped over to Aidan and sat down next to him.
In turn, he and Mirajane only looked at the prisoner with questioning expressions, waiting for answers. He immediately understood everything and said more calmly and even happily:
- Mitra is our friend, he is the master's advisor.
- So what?
"Are you wizards? This lighthouse is not damned a damn thing! - the guy poked his fingers in the direction of a foggy structure with an emerald glow at its very peak:
- It's all that filthy cult! People began to disappear, and even a few of ours, our Master went to check and did not return, - with a trembling voice the guy whispered:
"These are all these dark wizards. We tried to stop them, but it didn't work out ... We could only wait for Mitroy's help! And now you have come! You can't even imagine how important it is! These freaks have already killed half of our people and let them sink! In my head ... - grimacing sharply in pain, the guy gnashing his teeth angrily, after which his tears entered:
- Please ... I'm already dead, something in my head ... Kill them all! They killed my wife and daughter! I will give everything I have, even my life, only ... I beg you, cut them all out to the last!
With a look full of hurt, filled with pain and despair, Mira and Erza frowned. From joy, this guy quickly turned to sadness ... Only Aidan felt a strange surge of energy, he even closed his eyes and sighed:
- Sounds interesting ...
- Inte ... Interesting? So will you help us? The guy asked with a pleading voice, trying to get up, but it didn't work out, he grimaced again in pain and his face turned red, and his eyes were bloodshot.
Mira and Erza looked at Aidan in surprise, expecting an answer. But, he seemed to listen to the howling of the distant wind, leaving everything unattended. No one could see, but his eyes glittered dimly.
"So many dead ... This man is afraid of death, but at the same time ..." - as soon as Aidan opened his eyes, the guy in front of him immediately flinched. But, the wizard no longer looked at him, he could finally feel the painful howls of lives doomed to death. Now, each of the hidden auras in that lighthouse showed him its sad feelings.
