A/N: Guys, I am back... today I cut off the cast on my fingers and it was really sore. Fuck... I don't want to experience this again... more than pain, the irritation of unable to use my hand and fingers is really annoying.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The celebration continued in the village till the morning, though none of the wizards were present in the celebration. Axel, Mira, and Cana didn't have much problem sleeping because they decided to go to sleep later after they had enjoyed a few rounds of nightly exercises.
Axel woke up with Cana and Mira sleeping on his chest on each of his sides. It was already late noon when he woke up. Axel woke up both the girls and went to wash themselves after some time. After getting freshened up they reached downstairs and checked themselves out.
Axel: I think we should eat something before we leave.
Mira: Yes, I think that too.
Cana didn't say anything and just strolled through the streets by their sides. Cana has already started to drink booze and neither Axel nor Mira knows from where she has gotten the bottle. Maybe she had a storage card with her, both Mira and Axel thought that and put that behind their minds to ask Cana later about that.
Soon the three of them entered a small restaurant and ordered food for themselves. Today the town was completely different from yesterday. Since the whole town was deserted yesterday they didn't see any of the stores or opened. The people in the restaurant immediately recognized them and treated them with utmost respect which was awkward for the three of them. They even said that Axel, Mira, and Cana don't need to pay but after some persuasion from Axel they reluctantly accepted the money.
After that, the three of them left the restaurant and immediately left the town followed by that. It was already quite late and according to Axel, they wouldn't reach Alvarez before nightfall. The three of them rose up in the sky and started to fly towards Alvarez. Soon the three of them crossed over a mountain range and were greeted by endless desert.
Axel: We have already entered Alvarez.
Cana: Doesn't look much... only sand everywhere.
Axel: This is just the border of the continent so it is obvious that there won't be much.
Mira: Obviously, even the traders don't use this route because of the mountain range.
Axel: If anyone wants to Ishgar for business everyone uses the sea route. That is much more cost-efficient. Only mages like us would use this route to enter Alvarez.
The three of them decreased their speed of flying and enjoyed the slow flight throughout the desert. It was almost dark and the place was quite hot. Both Mir and Cana changed into a bikini. They continued their small conversation while flying leisurely over the desert enjoying the quiet desert. They had decided to camp outside of Alvarez, they didn't want to enter the capital and risk getting recognized by someone.
Even if they enter the next day, there was no guarantee that they won't be recognized but they still would have the chance before the higher-ups in the capitol are informed. But, if they decided to enter at night, they wouldn't find much before they have to find an inn to sleep in. The higher-ups in the capitol namely Spriggan Twelve or Zeref might attack them during the night. They weren't scared of the Spriggan Twelve or Zeref, they just wanted to take them by surprise. If they enter the capital in the morning they could easily cause mayhem before the serious fight takes place.
After a few hours of slow and fun flight, they reached the outskirts of the capital. They passed a few have passed a few small towns and villages before they reached reached capital of Alvarez. They could feel several huge amount of magic signatures if compared to themselves it wasn't muchbut compared to other top mages from their continent it would be overwhelming.
Cana: I am hungry...
Axel: ...Both of you collect some firewood, I will go and hunt something.
Mira and Cana changed into their usual clothes before they landed on the ground. Axel flew away in search of some wild animal and found a boar. After sometime he returned with the boar and saw that Cana and Mira have already set up a camp. Axel dismantled the boar the Mira helped him to set up a barbeque stand.
Mira: So, whats the plan?
Axel: Nothing special... we enter the capital and roam everywhere. If we see movemt in the army, only then we cause mayhem. If everything is normal in the capital we attack the Emperor's Palace. We won't be attacking normal residents of the capital of someone else. We will only attack the military installments or the Palace, nothing else.
Cana: Good...!!!
Axel: Even if we cause mayhem try to avoid civilian casualty as much as possible.
Mira: I think we would have quite a fun tomorrow.
Cana: Why?
Mira: Irene has said before that it was quite rare for the all the Spriggan Twelve to be present in a single place. There are currently twelve massive Magic signatures in the Capitol. Since Irene has deserted her ranks there will be only eleven of the Spriggan and Zeref himself.
Axel: Exactly... meaning they must be planning something. I am damn sure that Zeref have sensed Mavis's revival.
Cana: But I want to buy some booze from Alvarez before we blow everything sky high.
Both Axel and Mira facepalmed hearing Cana. Axel and Mira both decided to ignore Cana's last comment and busied themselves with the food. Cana as usual busied herself with her booze. After having a nice and filling dinner the three of them entered the tent Cana and Mira have prepared before. The three of them decided to skip their usual nightly exercises for today.
Mira was really excited to fight against August the Magic King, Axel was also excited because he was going to meet the Nation Destroyer tomorrow and well Cana was Cana. Axel remembered his previous meeting with Nation Destroyer Brandish Myu, he would try to get her in his harem since Zeref and Alvarez won't be outright their enemy like in canon. Axel only needed to subdue Zeref and revome his curse so that he can draw out Ankheseram.
Thinking all these the three of them went to sleep.
