Draco nodded in understanding and said, "Okay Uncle Jellal. I'll take Draconius with me since I can always call him if I need him." Draco also heard the crackling electricity and sighed. Draco grabbed onto her Uncle Jellal's arm and started tugging it to let him know that she was going to take him to her secret cave now. Once Jellal stood up and was ready to go outside the guild as "Mystogan," they left for the forest.<br/><br/>Kurai sighed as James' temper got the best of him. Kurai said, "You're talking like it's not normal for guys your age to still be a bit immature. Everyone can be immature at times, even me. Some people tend to be more immature than others no matter their age, like a certain pink-haired fire wizard we all know. It's nothing to be ashamed of and it doesn't really matter if you're immature or not as long as you can be mature when a situation calls for it." Kurai then went back to his writing as Fenrir intervened and he and James started having their own tense moment. Kurai didn't have time for such silliness when there was always a more useful or important way to use his free time. He goofed off every now and then with his little sister but that was only one of the things he did for fun.<br/><br/>Draco was leading her Uncle Jellal to the forest that the Labrynth River resided in. Draco said, "We have to cross the river to get to my secret place. Once we're across the river it's about a 30 minute walk to the place." Draco used her Crystal Dragon Slayer magic to make some temporary stepping stones to cross the river. Draco walked across first and waited for her Uncle to cross before making the stepping stones dissolve into sand so that no one could follow them easily. Draco said, "Let's go Uncle Mystogan!" Draco called him Uncle Mystogan when they were in public but when they were in the guild or somewhere else that a passerby won't hear her, she called him Uncle Jellal.<br/><br/>It had been 35 minutes since they crossed the river and they had just reached the entrance of her secret cave. Draco led Uncle Jellal inside before closing the entrance again with the boulder outside the cave. It was pitch black at first but a few seconds later some glowing crystals that had obviously been grown by Draco's magic due to their deliberate placement had begun to light up the cave to reveal a long tunnel. Draco said, "Further ahead I dug out four tunnels to throw off any trespassers from finding where I placed the important stuff. Plus I sealed off the real tunnel with my magic and did my best to make it look like there's nothing behind the cave wall." Draco led him down the tunnel and once they got to the chamber with the four fake tunnels, Draco walked over to the wall a few feet away from the first tunnel on the left and used her Crystal Dragon Slayer magic to make the cave wall open up to reveal a tunnel with another wall made of crystal. Draco opened up about 6 crystal walls with her magic before coming to the 7th and final wall. Draco laughed nervously and said, "I reeeally didn't want the wrong person to find what I am about to show you. Just...Don't freak out okay? I promise it's not what it looks like." Draco then took a deep breath before slowly opening the last wall to spare her Uncle a heart attack. Once the wall was completely gone and light flooded the chamber inside it revealed a rather disturbing sight. There were magical weapons and armor, scrolls, ancient tomes, and spellbooks, as well as magical jewelry, musical instruments, gemstones, and other strange objects but that wasn't the disturbing part. The disturbing part was that they were all related to Dark Magic, Curses, and other magic that bore ill-intentions.<br/><br/>Draco knew that her Uncle Jellal would either freak out or get mad at her right away but she knew he probably had a lecture for her about the forces she was meddling with and he would also probably be very angry with her for taking enough interest in Dark Magic that she would actually willingly collect artifacts that related to or held Dark Magic. Draco hoped that he wouldn't tell her father about this but that was probably not going to happen and he would tell her father about this.<br/><br/>Draco said quickly, "Please don't freak out!" Draco smiled sheepishly, like someone who stole a pie and ended up getting caught, before saying, "As I said before I showed this to you, I promise this isn't what it looks like. I'm not trying to learn how to use Dark Magic, I'm trying to create new spells that can counter Dark Magic effectively. I was...hoping to find a way to remove the curse placed on my Uncle Zeref. That way he can...die around the same time as my Daddy will...and he can finally have his wish of passing on to the next life... I started collecting these a few years after I learned that Zeref was my Uncle by blood... I managed to create a few spells that effectively countered some of the Dark Magic seen here but I'm still working on spells for most of them... Please don't tell my Daddy! Or my Mommy! Or my big brother! Or anyone else at the guild! I've caused my family enough trouble for this year... I don't want Daddy or Mommy or anyone else in the guild to have to go through anymore trauma because of me this year since it's already the begining of December...... Please don't tell them..." Draco knew that her mother and older brother would be upset and hurt but her Daddy and most of the other guild members would be furious if they found out, Master Erza might possibly kick her out of Fairy Tail if she knew. It wasn't very likely she would do that since Draco had no intention of using the Dark Magic she had been gathering over the years but it was still a possible outcome. It was now understandable why Draco hadn't told about or shown her secret cave to anyone else. She didn't want to scare them into thinking she secretly wanted to be a Dark Wizard like her Uncle Zeref.
