As soon as the members of the Fairy Tail arrived, the entire Paradise Tower shook, and half an hour later collapsed under the pressure of the already overactive 'fairies'. Most of the cultists were swept away by the wreckage of the tower, some who tried to escape from the island were caught by the pirates, and the rest were caught by the Fairy Tail mages. And at this moment, they were all leaving Paradise Tower and sailing towards Fiore.
***
Eros decided to escort them to Fiore, accompanied by five pirate ships. And when he was done, he would leave them and return to Bosco
- Eros, do you really not want to stay a few more days? - Makarov asked sadly.
- No thanks, I have to finish all my business first, and then I'll come back.
- That's how it is, eh... Do what you want, but before you leave, someone wanted to meet you.
- Who?
At that moment, the door to the cabin opened and about ten children poured into the room.
- Here they are, - with a slight smile, Makarov pointed at them.
- You saved us, didn't you? - uncertainly asked the boy who came forward, he had a lean build, dark spiky hair and the same eyes. He was wearing dark coloured clothes.
- Midnight! Stop mumbling!
- Eric...
- No," Eros shook his head, "Not just me, but the mages of the Fairy Tail.
- Oh, but still! - Erik's eyes lit up, -We want to join your guild!
- Hmm... that's how....
Apparently thinking that he was going to refuse, Eric suddenly spoke furiously.
- We're not useless! We can be of use to you because we are the 'favourites' of this tower, we have been experimented on by a man with white hair.
The boy called Midnight shouted sharply and squatted down to cover his ears. The other children looked at him with pity.
- And he was his biggest favourite.
Frowning, the Titan got up from his seat and walked over to the boy, squatting down and stroking his head.
- I don't mind you joining my guild, so stop trembling, I promise you that the "evil uncle" won't touch you again, and if he comes after you, we will protect you, - Eros smiled softly and put his arm around him, - Do you believe me?
Eros felt the moisture on his chest, as well as a faint nod.
- Good...
Makarov nodded contentedly, seeing the titan's action.
- But I haven't created it yet, but the building is under construction, I think in six months to a year, it will be ready.
- Hey! Is that big building being built in the centre of Magnolia your future guild?!
- Oh! Did you see it?! - Eros exclaimed excitedly, looking at Makarov, - Yes, I've been drawing up the blueprints for almost two years, - the titan added proudly.
- Cool... Cool... Cool...
- Are you jealous?
- If only there was something to envy!
- Well, I'll give Rani your information, I think in a couple of days, they will also return to Magnolia to follow up on the construction.
- And you? - Eric asked in bewilderment, stroking the snake on his arm.
- I'll be back in a couple of years, first I have to finish all my business, and don't worry, the guy called Rick is very strong and will easily protect you, and there's Grandpa Makarov... Yes Grandpa...?
- Sure," Makarov couldn't resist seeing the puppy eyes of the children.

Eros stayed another day dealing with the new members of the guild. He used a ritual to determine the attribute of magic and what surprised him was that at least four of them had S-rank mage potential. Especially Midnight who had a talent for Reflection magic as well as Darkness, which was not surprising, he could make a potentially strong S-rank mage in the future. He was also surprised by Eric, a cocky snake-wielding boy, he was a Dragon Slayer*, using the element: Poison, and a secondary talent was sound magic. These two were rough diamonds. Eros would have taken it upon himself to train them, but he was busy at the moment, so he handed them each a lacrima liaison so they could contact him at any time if they had any questions.
There were also two other children, the first was a chubby red-haired boy, Richard Buchanan, with a powerful earth attribute, and the other boy, with a rather long hooked nose and thick lightning eyebrows, had a talent for Slow Magic.
The rest of the children, however, had a good talent for becoming A-rank mages, with the possibility of making their way to S-rank by 35-40.
Eros never met Elsa, though it would be more accurate to say he avoided her. The Titan was ashamed to look her in the eye, after all, he couldn't save the boy. That's why Eros left Magnolia so quickly.
***
Leaving the children in Makarov's care and taking Urthir with him, Eros left Magnolia. Still, the titan was wary of keeping her around the children, so he decided to take her with him, he just didn't trust her.
Twelve hours later, the titan reached Bosco lowering the trembling girl to the ground.
- Y-you're a fucking psycho! - exclaimed Urthir with all her heart, the next moment, her face turned green and she ran at a fast speed into the nearest bushes... - Booo....
"Apparently I went overboard... But it's her own fault!"- Eros flew at a slow speed in the beginning, so that she wouldn't get seasick, and also to remove the pressure and wind, the titan was surrounded by a barrier. But Urthir laughed at him, saying he was as slow as a turtle, so he decided to show her all his speed, - "Okay, we have to go back to the workshop and continue working... What the hell is this?!"
The place where his shop-workshop-house had been earlier was now just a single ruin. There was simply nothing whole left. It was as if someone had deliberately destroyed the whole place.
- What kind of suicide did this?! - Eros roared, looking around with a furious face.
- Ouch... "Mr Rune Master, what on earth happened to your workshop?
Not far away from him, three fat men appeared that looked at Eros with smirks. These three fat men were the three rune masters of this city and all three of them had been personally beaten by the titan when they tried to spoil his "pure" and "bright" name.
The titan did not think long, because he already knew who had done it. He glared at them for a moment, pressed them with his magic power and threw them into the rubbish bin in the alley.
A few minutes later, a pale Urthir emerged from the bushes, and seeing Eros' face and the ruins, smiled. Here it was, one ray of light all day, at the same moment, as if to order, the clouds that covered the sun parted, and the rays illuminated the ruins and Eros himself....
- Oh! Urthyr, I need your help! - exclaimed the titan, looking at her, -You can rebuild the house, can't you?
- I can, but why would I do that?
Eros frowned and looked at her and the next moment a warm smile appeared on his face, which made the girl shudder.
- Urthir... Darling," she shuddered and took a step back, "Understand, I'm asking you for your sake, you don't want to live on the streets, do you? I've got a good reputation in this town and any man will easily take me in, but where will you live? But if you don't want to, I won't force you..." and with a sad face, he turned round and walked towards the nearest inn, "3...2...1..."
- Wait!" still she gave up, after all she doesn't know anyone in this town, and there is no money to rent a room in an inn and find a shelter Urthir is just not able to.
- What is it?
- I'll fix it! - Seeing his "innocent" face, a vein swelled on her forehead, but she had to swallow all the anger and turning to the house, Urtir directed her hands in his direction and right before the titan's eyes the house began to slowly recover, taking the original appearance.
- You really do have great magic....
The girl only hummed proudly and looked at him, waiting for further action.
- Let's go, - the titan approached the house and touched the door, a ligature of runes passed over it and the door opened, - Let me show you your room, and when you're done with everything, come to my workshop, I'll tell you about my plans... - Eros said, entering the house.
At that moment both of them heard the stomping of footsteps and five people piled into the small antechamber, with burning eyes directed at Eros.
- Master! You're back!
- Where have you been so long?!
- Are you busy now, still taking orders?
All five of them started gibbering at the same time, but as soon as they saw the titan frowning, they instantly stopped talking. To which he smiled slightly and nodded.
- Come back in two hours, I'm busy right now.
- Yes! - and the next moment they were gone.
- And I thought you were exaggerating..." said Urtir with a slight shock, "You really are a master of your trade.
- Let's say less, come on, I'll show you your room.
- Nerd...
***
Urtir came down from the first floor and entered the workshop, where Eros was preparing everything for work.
- Give me the money.
- What for?
- I need to buy some clothes for myself, because I have nothing, everything was left at the guild base.
- If that's the case, good," the titan walked over to the shelf of books and clicked on one of them, which lit up and flew into his hand, "Here," he pulled out a pouch from it and threw it to her.
She quickly counted the contents and nodded contentedly.
- Say... are you really going to resurrect Ur....
- Yes.
- How are you going to do it?
- Oh... I'm going to recreate her body using one artefact that's kept in this city,'' Eros answered without turning around.
- That's right... And the soul...?
- I'm working on that now," Eros said with a slight smile and looked into her eyes, "But don't worry, before your mum absorbs the demon there are at least 6-7 more years and I'll think of something.
For a moment, the girl was embarrassed and looked away.
- I don't care, even if it doesn't work out....
