“Hey, everyone! Wanna see a magic trick?!” Daiko called out to all the kids present near the playground. Hearing someone in Hargeon intend to perform a magic trick was bound to bring curious eyes galore, and quite a handful of easter enjoyers had arrived to see just what this white-suited, bunny-eared, masked magician was up to. They were all holding some chocolate, a result of their participation in the easter games scattered around Port Hargeon, hosted by none other than the port’s patron guild Blue Pegasus.

“Treats taste better after a spectacle, so watch…!” he commanded before aiming his face straight up. His cheeks expanded, and a surge of heat escaped his nostrils and caused a teapot-like sound to ring through. While some of the kids laughed and said that he was going to transform into a teapot, Daiko managed to push out a grin before releasing a brilliant wave of fire from his lungs and through his mouth, traveling up through the settling airs coating the town.

Lo, the trick wasn’t done just yet! From the corners of the houses nearby, an avian creature charged ahead from a pole and let the wind carry its wings towards the rising fire. With a flurry of magnificent flaps of her wings, Coda bent the wind around to put pressure on the pillar of fire, thus resulting in a wider array of blazing light flickering in various colors.

The kids were thrilled to see magic in action like this. They were rarely around battles, thank god, but they still held deep interest in the spectacle of sorcery and arcana, so if Daiko was able to satisfy their curiosities a bit, then it was going to be so. “Whatcha think, everyone? An amazing display of Fire Magic, I bet…!”

“Woooaaaah! That was so cool! It went up all like ‘woooooooooosh’ and then it exploded like ‘BAM’!”
“Do it again! Do it again! Do it again!”
“W-Wasn’t that dangerous? What if we got hit by it?”
“Hey, can you burn, like, an entire house down like that? I wanna see!”
“C-Cool… but I’m sweating now.”
“Hey, where’s Akon?”

Huh… the little brunette was worried about her brother’s whereabouts. He was next to her just a moment ago… where could he have gone, hmh? Daiko would have to turn his face around to spot him further away, standing right in front of a blonde, taller lady in a white, revealing bunny outfit in style much akin to Alisa’s. She didn’t look happy…

“Oh, there he is. Akon, you’re making your sister worried!” Daiko called over to him before deciding to display some more magic tricks from his storage. A quick jab, and from his mouth emerged a slithering flame in form of a long, snake-like entity with a grabby hand for a head. It grabbed the shirt of the kid and safely pulled him up in the air, much to the other kids’ amaze. Despite the element, the fire didn’t harm him at all, nor did it leave a single burn mark on his white top.

“Arn huu we-ey yis wawy wee? (And who may this lady be?)” he asked, muffled by the flame grown out of his maw, “Uow aaa bhwedhhd riwe Awiidha… (You are dressed like Alisa…)”

… Repeat?

Ohhhhhh, the fire muffled his voice… could fire really do that? It wasn’t as solid as other materials, but he did find his mouth quite stuffed with flames at the moment. If she didn’t hear him, then that was enough proof, though. He rose his face a little and put the fondler down as gently as a parent putting down their infant on the ground for the first time, then clapped his teeth together to kill the source of the slithering flame that died out in a long, fading rail of embers. She sounded disappointed in his speech… and that choice of words…

She even sounds like Alisa…

Shaking that thought out of his skull, he gazed at her once more, this time not muffled by fire. “Sorry about that, I was kinda in the moment… hehe,” he giggled joyously, “I hope that you’re thoroughly enjoying our Easter Festival!” As per courtesy of being among the co-hosts, Daiko bowed softly to the blonde lady who, for a brief moment, emitted a certain cold that his skin couldn’t ignore… either physical cold or the gaze she threw at him.

“Now, Akon, you say sorry to the lady,” he strictly but in a comedic fashion ordered the little boy, who would shyly bow his head in guilt. “*sniff* … S-Sorry…”

“… Wait, now, now, you shouldn’t cry, no, no!” Daiko panicked and flickered around with a chocolate egg that he pulled up from his basket before handing it to the boy along with some gentle pats to the head, “You said sorry and all, so it’s alright. I’m sure you agree, miss?” Once the boy stopped crying and munched on his chocolate egg, Daiko straightened his back and introduced himself: “I’m Daiko! The Blue Pegasus Daiko Flayme, at your service! Maybe I’m just seeing things, but I saw a flicker of mana moments earlier from you… you must be a mage too, just like I! Care to show us a trick or two? Or is your Magic just not suited for that, hmh?”

After getting her dealings with getting into what she was told was the attire of the party. Judith would go off to meet other people as she felt needed, Who else was there to meet was always the delight upon her mind. So she would would slowly arrive upon the area she heard two people she was yet to meet.

Even if just missing the part were people had introduced themselves Judith did not mind as it did not take away from the what she hand intended anyway. Carrying a few bottles of drinks and a few boxes.  The delighted Fairy Tail member.

Judith also did not seem scared to join the group either it was just something she had to be use at point for the sake of other things she had done in life.

When joining however Judith did not speak a word right away, Mostly because with in her own morals and teaching she did not intentionally interrupt a person when speaking unless needed. They would just have an small woman with almost white lavender purple hair and purple eyes, The only things that might stand out if either of then observed Judith joining them is how her orange Fairy Tail tattoo stood out.

Her bunny outfit was white, Her bunny ears where white. Anything that she was wearing at this time was white. Eventually considering the situation she join in, Judith would just simply mention."Oh? Have I come to join at a horribly inconvenient time by chance?"Judith would asked them both.

Nonetheless Judith was joining these two because she did in reality have a interest in meeting these people who would be new to hear, As well as some what of the person so far to be the representative of Fairy Tail, until anyone else showed up, Judith would be putting in the effort.

The younger boy would nod in agreement at the blonde mistress’ words of wisdom. Daiko, too, crossed his arms and nodded; in a way, deep inside, he understood what happened… and he understood what drove the boy to commit his act. He must’ve gotten an immediate crush on the mistress passing by, not unreasonable given her striking appearance. The bunny suit only complimented her form times ten, much like it did the other wearers in the port.

To think that Alisa suggested he wore one himself was unnerving… he would’ve looked so creepy.

The kids began to light up at the response from her considering to perform a magical art of wonder. They were eager to see some variety, already starting to taste the dryness of the same, constant heat emitting from Daiko’s Fire Magic. If what magic the blonde femme was different enough, they would be mesmerized.

But she expected something in return… payment? He could pay, he still had plenty of coin after having paid the Seaguard, so if she demanded payment for her services, then he wouldn’t object. Even though she didn’t specify money, he flicked up his purse. “I can pay up if that’s what you want… just please don’t spit a drop of fire on the ground and expect a hundred grand,” he beckoned. He didn’t exactly know what kind of magic she produced, but pleaaaaaase, don’t be a pushover. The kids needed something marvelous!

“… Ohhhh! Another white bunny lady!” a young, white-haired girl called up before rising a hand up to the newest adult joining the co. Daiko turned his head to see her, noticing the similar attire to the expensive mistress, Atani and Alisa… it must’ve been a theme. “Not in the slightest! We were just about to perform some spells to blow their minds, no biggie… hey, wait, you’re a mage, too!” He quickly noticed the Fairy Tail Mark tattooed onto her right shoulder, a guild whose members he hadn’t met in a loooooooong time, “You can join in and entertain these runts, if you know a harmless spell or two…”

Judith did not seem to mind the idea of the show, So she would just smile as the humble soul as she was."Well I can agree it would be interesting, To see what harmless spells one can make."What would she do to watch, Well she would summon a large leaf, expanding large enough for her to place the things she was carrying down on as well.

Judith was just as curious as everyone else about what was to come. After all Judith was entirely here to see if anyone wanted chocolate of if anyone was old enough to actually drink serve wine if they wanted any. It just seemed how she was not worried about anything else.

This was all in the end things that Judith would find more enjoyable then anything else because she only really cared seeing everyone enjoying the event as she hoped it was meant to be enjoyed.

Nonetheless, Judith did not answer if she would join in this showing off harmless spells, If anything getting comfortable to see the show she did already."Wonderful display miss."Judith mentioned in delight, After all it seemed to be exactly as mentioned between what was all mentioned.

But when it was posed to her since she had waited until the first woman in this situation was done she would just simply ask."I could give a small show if really everyone wanted me too."Keeping it in that manner a bit more settled about it, Judith was never one to show off anyway. But for the moment unless spoke to her otherwise Judith was comfortable in her leaf chair sitting with her legs crossed and comfortable, Being some what level to everyone at the moment of the adults at the moment, It was nice to see people eye to eye after all.

Uh… she didn’t want to be paid? Then what’d she mean by her previous words, then? Talk about confusing people, really…maybe she was rich and saw the offer as an insult?! He didn’t mean to nerve her or anything, but would she believe him? She didn’t sound as mad as he imagined, so maybe it wasn’t the case…

However, instead of payment, her demand was to meet none other than Blue Pegasus’ leader. Their Guild Mistress… Alisa! He could definitely have them meet, even though the blonde guest was probably more likely to pass by the White Empress a few streets further away. It begged the question; what was her intentions with Alisa? “Oh, you mean Ali? I can introduce you two to each other, if that’s all… but she’s close by, I think. Why not… hmh…” He cupped his chin in deep thought, and sure enough, a click kicked into his brain, “Oh, I see! You don’t wanna bother her during the egg hunts! That’s very considerate of you; I respect that a lot…!”

When it came to entertainment, yes, sure, daiko lacked style… but he didn’t think so. What did she mean by ‘sophistication’, even? Didn’t she just see the huge spell he lashed out? He had plenty of style!

“I’m not lacking in anything…” he pouted with crossed arms, even the kids noticing his changed expression. However, hearing Charlotte, they all cheered up at the mention of real art and were baffled by the manifestation of ice forming from her palms! In a moment, an ice bunny of her height was formed, and some of the kids even touched it to confirm that it was real ice. It was cold and refreshing from Daiko’s fiery, heat-inducing fireworks, which nudged him on the wrong side.

A few of the kids noticed the huge leaf that the lavender bunny lady rested on, looking around for its source. “Wait, your Magic? But I thought that a big tree dropped that leaf!” a young girl spoke up in confusion, clearly overloaded with the many three different elements in display.

“What, no! It’s Magic, sis, it’s clearly Magic; look, the leaf’s too big for any trees here!” a loud-mouthed boy informed her like a disappointed big brother.

In the meantime, Daiko wasn’t done yet. “Real art, huh? I’ll show you real art, alright!” he proclaimed confidently, clenching his fist and leaping straight up in the air, levitating several meters above the street ground. He would fly around, revealing wings of fire emerging from his back and expanding, until a huge bird of fire was soaring the skies above Port Hargeon. The bird’s plumage was reflecting all the colors of the rainbow, and it was detailed to the point where even its tail feathers were recognizable as those long, peacock-like decorations.

Given Judith's casual nature she would just mention in general."Alisa is a wonderful person to talk to, I had a chance to speak to her before coming out here."Then again it seemed like Judith was mention just to keep herself in the conversation."Hopefully she will be a bit more free soon to have a glass of wine with."It felt like it was harmless to mention, slowly it seemed she would have to explain her magic.

Leaving Judith with a bit of a smile."Ahh, such beauty in ice."She would not leave the chair she made herself, It would be simple to explain really she just enjoyed."A wonderful reflection of it's caster that created it."Judith might be stroking egos, Just merely having it being her normal nature to do these things.

If anything Judith did want to go last, The fire display might be risky when it came too the plant life Judith can make."As the bird rises so the passion it reflects, As well as it's good reflection of the level of hopes it's caster has in life."Judith had a way with words in her own manner.

Now she would focus upon the questions in general that lingered since she just made a leaf."I see you have question, I entirely understand the leaf sprouted under my control."Judith had a different way of going out her magic, She would play it off in small ways and lead up to something large.

"I carry a blessing given to me by mother nature."Judith mentioned to the small children who seemed to have a interested upon her magic."It works in interesting ways, Example."Judith then would place her hand open palm towards the group, from that hand a vine slowly sprouted out blooming pedals that were yellow and slightly translucent, Then the pedals would light up like a light."From small plants like this."Taking the made flower and handing it to the small child.

"To some other things."Judith had to come up with something interesting, But just how does she go about it. So she would touch the ground with both of her hands and then Judith would raise from the slowly from roots wrapping around her feet and lifting her. Judith did not explain much since there was a few more things that could be done, But showed enough.

Being high enough in the air Judith would control the vines to guide her back to the ground she would just be hanging upside down before being released and landing on her feet.

Heh, he betted that this might’ve been overkill, but the blonde Cryomage was asking for a challenge at this point, and Daiko had the home field advantage! His grand display of a flying phoenix above them all left most kids speechless, and the weather might’ve changed a little thanks to this. He felt confident that he had deserved some sweet words of approval from the pale bunny lady, since she sounded so high and mighty earlier…

But that tone of hers hadn’t changed. She was ready for more, and it took him by surprise! Now, her Magic blossomed like a wildfire, contrasting the element of hers as she spawned a huge portrait in glimmering, transparent, pure ice of what looked like herself from the torso and up. His Fire Magic was too flaking in nature to solidify that well, so he found himself at the losing end now.

The little girl gladly accepted the glowing flower that Judith handed her in an attempt to display just what her Magic’s capabilities were. There were similar types of plants up north that emitted a little light in the dark, but those flowers were like night lamps. If Mother Nature was by the white-haired bunny madame’s side, then she must’ve been extremely potent in skill and magical prowess! She even showed how to manipulate large, slithering roots from underground – roots whose origins he couldn’t pinpoint immediately – and it got the kids hyped up and wanting to have a ride on the roots themselves.

“I wanna ride on trees too!”
“Me too! But they’re branches, so I wanna ride on the branches!”
“I want more flowers! Look, I can make a band-“
“Can you eat them? Do they make you light up, too?”

Upon landing on the ground again, Daiko let the phoenix fires die out in a long trail before approaching the group again. He wasn’t very happy… they had all drawn their attentions to the two ladies, ignoring his LARGE PHOENIX during the last half of his display! He was sulking hard, pouting, jealous and distasted…

“… Hmpf! Shouldn’t be so hard to make a portrait – watch! I can make an even prettier one-“ he proclaimed vividly before holding his hands out with the palms pointing towards the ground. His hands began to grow yellow scales, while his nails grew long and dark before the entirety of them were engulfed in flames. He would then manipulate the flames down to the ground, trying to modulate a sculpture of his face…

…

The flames kept flying up. He tried to hold them in place, but once he lost focus, they just flared away. They wouldn’t stand in one place for too long. It was such a strange field of magic casting that he was diving into, one that he had never seen the need to use before, since all of his spells were explosive and vivid per purpose.

The better part was Judith was not trying to make anything a show. They wanted to see what she could do and thus she had shown some of the things she could. Judith seemed no longer interested in showing off anything she could do. It was a interesting how every one who had magic wanted to show it off right away. It was interesting each person in some manner reflected the type of magical element they used, It was something that Judith took note of.

At least the compliment from the ice mage Judith took in great delight."You seemed to know how beauty relief in actions and words, It is lost art I do not see often enough now days,Thank you."Judith mentioned to the ice mage, Since it was wonderful to her, Then again Judith was not expecting compliments or interest in her magic of looks, Even blushing slightly due to the unexpected nature of receiving a compliment.

With the various questions Judith would take time to answer the questions being asked by the children."For the safety of the both of you, I will not allow either of you to attempt to ride branches, Your safety is important."She mentioned simply put she could fore sure two people's safety with that idea where if she assumed everyone could be okay, Just not a risk she would take.

"If you desire more flowers, Then you shall get enough for a band."It did not take much effort for Judith to produce enough plants for the band to be made, Continuing upon the final question."I can make plants that can be eaten, But they do not light up in that manner."Judith seemed to be use to children and questions so wonderfully dealt with.

Daiko seemed far more interested in being the highlight of the show, in the spotlight. Judith just simply would just create a large enough leaf for her to sit on, But it had enough room for everyone in the group."Valiant attempt, I see were ice does not need much to keep it's form for long period of time, Yours does flare in showmanship for a small period of time and can still be a pleasant gaze."Judith was trying to compliment both magics.
