Very soon the Virgo returned, burying the hole she had made in the ground. The girl shook herself, straightened the bracelets with chains on her hands and bowed:
- Everything is ready, master, - with a strange smile, the Virgo added: - Now my punishment ...
Aidan ignored her, just closed his eyes and concentrated. He felt a connection with the lacrima, and then exhaled with relief:
"All that remains is to check ... The problem is, I can't sit here all the time, and I don't trust Ikaruga. As a last resort, only my black ice can absorb everything else if someone decides to intervene. Dangerous, but there is no choice, I have already installed everything I could. I hope Mavis is right and everything will work out on time ... "
Rubbing his palms, Aidan looked a little more at the huge block of ice and finally turned to his companions:
- Thank you. Virgo, regarding punishment, please wait. I will finish one case and give you the worst punishment in your life! You will never forget him, I promise!
- Oh! - the girl already shuddered and blushed a little. For the first time he saw her like this, she even swallowed and nodded:
- I ... I get it! Then I'll get ready!
- Okay ... - after his nod, Virgo immediately disappeared in a golden flash.
It seemed that at that moment, even being an ice wizard, he felt cold! This girl is clearly not normal ...
Ikaruga came closer and smiled.
- All is ready?
"Yes, mostly ... You should leave too," Aidan sighed and waved his hand. "We're both leaving."
- Oh, but why?
She again felt distrust and once again felt unpleasant. She did not know how to reach him and prove her truth. The sorceress really did not feel anything after the death of her "comrades" in the guild. But, she really wanted to become a part of his life, to see what his path would be like. Unconsciously, she just wanted to follow him, at first, because he seemed strong and interesting to her, and now, in order to see the result, see what the result will be ... Will he be able to achieve his goal?
Aidan turned and smiled slightly.
"I know, I know, if you're honest, it makes you angry, and if not, it's even more annoying." But, I want to warn you, the Seal of the Heavenly Queen has two special properties, one of which will most likely seal you in lacrima. Even if you bring that old man with the letters here, he will not open this seal. However, its second property makes me be even more calm.
Chuckling, Aidan smiled at Ikaruga's displeased look and waved his hand.
- Don't look like that ... Come on, I have to wait for the first collection of the Moondrop.
The wizard was not particularly afraid of the threat from Ikaruga. In the past, with his spell found in the guild, he probably would have had to stay on the island or find another method to remove this sorceress. Now everything has become a little easier.
The second method made it possible to seal everything completely for tens of meters around in lacrima. So the magician didn't really care about failure. Rather, it will cause even more problems in the future. So he wanted to solve everything in three years. After all, otherwise, with Ultear everything will become much more complicated. Moreover, even if a smart person comes, well versed in unsealing spells, he will still somehow break the seal, and Aidan will definitely feel it. Of course, a worse scenario could have happened, but inaction would have become even more dangerous. If he continues to sit on the spot, then the conversion will inevitably happen on the island, and already realizing his urges and desires, Aidan did not really doubt that all living things would die out on the island, except for plants, and that is not a fact ... Perhaps only Ikaruga or some other woman is "lucky" to survive, but whether they want to live after that is another question. If it were Tenryu, he would have no doubts about asking Mavis for help this time. Yes, and on deserted islands, he would hardly have begun to destroy living forests, but animals and people for a sweet soul, he absolutely had no doubt about this. Even with such an understanding of his dark side, he still could not calculate what the reaction would be this time. Previously, he could believe in the best, but now it was impossible to place a bet at all. It may well happen that he will be even more reasonable and restrained. If so, then from Galloon to get to Fairy Tail is a snap ... That is why it was necessary to act cunningly and not just hide in the seas or in the mountains.

The next day passed without unnecessary problems, on the full moon Leon finally held the first collection of the Moon Drop, and then, together with his pair of minions, watched the process in the dungeon. Aidan waited nearby, watching the violet rays falling on a huge block of ice. The first stage of collecting Ur's soul passed without unnecessary problems.
- Happened! Haha, we did it! - Laughed half-naked wizard next to Leon.
Bastia himself only nodded and growled grimly:
- Soon ... You just need to wait, and I will kill this creature!
Unfortunately, Leon had no idea about the failure of his plans, but can Aidan succeed? Now only cold sparkled in his eyes, he could no longer wait and sit still ....
