I walked out the door harshly greeted by the cool night air. I looked around to find a blue and brown-eyed man.

I caught his figure turning the corner into an alleyway. I quickly followed him. When I turned down the dark alleyway I was meet with nothingness. I slowly enter the alley looking for the brown-haired man.

Suddenly something grabbed me and pinned me against the alley wall with inhuman speeds.

The man from the party held me to the wall with his strong hand around my throat.

"Looking for me?", He grinned his hand tightening around my neck.

"Orthrus?", I questioned.

He smirked devilishly when I said his name. He let go of my neck but didn't let me leave the wall. His arms stretched out on both sides of me, palms rest on the wall I was pinned to. I stared back at him, never looking away from his blue and brown eyes.

"The one and only", he whispered seductively.

" I have a question", I gulped shyly.

"What knowledge do you seek, rider?"

"I- "

"But, beware I give one truth one lie."

"I want to-"

" You want to wait for your companions. Before you ask your question", Orthrus stated removing his hands from the wall and fixed the cuffs of his sleeves.

"How?"

"I'm Orthrus, I know everything."

"Everything? Then you know -"

"Yes, Tenaglia's dead. I've known long before it ever happened. She was a dear friend. That's why I'll answer you and your friend's question without my normal price."

"Really?"

"Yes, I'm bound to answer every question I'm asked with a truth and a lie. When Zeref came to me I had to answer his question ever thought it meant her death. So, you see I want him dead as much if not more as you do."

"Thank you, Orthrus."

"O'course, Now let's get started."

He smiled and snapped his fingers in the air. Suddenly a white light appeared and then it suddenly faded. When I opened my eyes our scene had changed.

I now sat at an old wooden table in a red room lit by candles. Orthrus sat across from me at the table.

"How?"

"I'm an immortal deity. I know a few magical tricks."

He reached into his tuxedo's inner pocket and pulled out and a deck of cards and spread them out on the table.

"Now, I believe you wanted your friends here as well."

He snapped his finger again and four more chairs appeared around the table. Orthrus snapped again and the others all appeared in the chairs with a flash. Except for Jason who landed on his face on the floor next to the empty chair.

They all seemed panicked. Ty even stood up causing his chair to fall and drew his sword.

His eyes quickly scanned the room when he saw the others the panic left his face but he only lowered his sword when his eyes meet mine.

I smiled reassuringly at him when Orthrus spoke.

"Tyranis put the sword away and sit down", Orthrus stated blankly with a "done" look on his face.

"Sorry", Ty apologized quickly and sat down.

Orthrus sighed deeply before speaking.

"Larisa, you can go first since you found me and we're all gentlemen here so lady's first."

He took two cards from his deck and placed them face down in the middle of the table.

"This the way my game works. When you ask me a question I'll work my magic then flip them back over. One will read the truth one a lie. Understand?"

"Yes."

"What knowledge do you seek?"

I thought for a moment. Debating my options my eyes wandered to Ty who gave me a reassuring smile. Even if I asked a question I wouldn't have a definite answer. But if I knew what card told the truth then I'd be good. To do that I just need to ask a question I know the answer to. I smirked at Orthrus before asking my question.

"What's my name?"

The others looked confused at my question, however, Orthrus just smiled brightly at me.

"Aren't you a clever little minx?"

Orthrus ran his hand over the two cards. The golden details glowed brightly when the glow faded he flipped over the cards.

The right read: Alison

The left read: Larisa

"The left reads true", I said as I smiled at Orthrus.

Orthrus laughed joyfully and clapped his hands.

"You are only the third person I've met that has ever figured out my cards."

The others saw what I had done and complimented me. Ty said nothing but he smiled and shook his head clearly proud of me. Roy although still looked lost.

" I don't get it.", he stated.

"Larisa asked a question she already knew the answer to, so she could figure out what card is which.", Orthus explained happily.

"Oh," Roy said as he looked down sadly.

"Hey, don't worry about it. Here you can go next."

"But it's my turn.", Jason whined.

"Shut up. You don't get a turn. I don't like you."

"What?"

"Shhh! Roy, what knowledge do you seek?"

"Where is Zeref?"

Orthrus smiled and ran his hand over the two cards. The golden details glowed brightly when the glow faded he flipped over the cards.

The left read: Disney World.

The right read: Krispy Kremes.

"What?", Alex asked dumbfounded.

"I suppose it makes sense.", Ty stated.

"How does that make sense?", Jason asked.

"Zeref is looking for Vokun right now and I'm guessing he couldn't find him so he retreated to his base to rest and replenish his army. You see under Disney World is a series of tunnels which workers use to move supplies and cargo for Disney World it's the perfect hideout and it's where Zeref tome is..." Ty explained.

"I'm sorry what was that last part?", Alex asked.

"That's where Zeref is buried."

"What? That creep is buried in the most magical place on earth!", Roy exclaimed.

"Well, more like under it. He was buried there before Disney was even a thing. As for the most magical place on earth part that's more than true. Zeref's body is always redating magical energy because of the immortal spell he cast on himself millions of years ago."

"Wait! Immortal spell how do we stop him if he's immortal?", Alex questioned angrily.

"I think I can help with that.", Orthus said raising his hand.

Orthrus ran his hand over the two cards. The golden details glowed brightly when the glow faded and he flipped over the cards.

The right read: Hairbrush.

The left read: The light of Spero.

"What's the light of Spero?", Roy asked.

"Sorry, you already used your question. Tyranis is the only one with a question left and you won't use it on that will you, Tyranis?"

Everyone looked at Ty who seemed very distressed at the problem at hand. Finally, he spoke.

"I'm sorry", He said before he took a deep breath," How can I save my brother?"

Orthrus nodded and ran his hand over the two cards. The golden details glowed brightly when the glow faded he flipped over the cards.

The right read: Goldfish

The left read: The light of Spero.

Ty took a defeated breath before Orthrus spoke.

"Well, you don't have any questions left. So I'm afraid this is goodbye. I wish the best of luck to you all."

Orthrus snapped his fingers for the final time and suddenly we were all back in Roy and Alex's hotel room.

Jason got up and slowly walked out of the room. I waited for a moment before Ty got up and left. I followed him and when we were in the hallway I grabbed his hand and held it with mine. His sad demeanor seemed unphased as we walked down the hall.

"It's okay. If I was in the same position I -"

"Stop."

I went quiet as we continued our walk back to our rooms, hand in hand. We quickly reached our destination. Ty then let go of my hand and walked up to his door. But before he closed it he said:

"You look nice in that dress. Red really suits you."
