The captain of the royal army is stationed in the crocus field, and he asks why the army brass are planning an eclipse. The captain replies that he was under the impression that he needed a celestial magician immediately, but that urgency affected his judgment. He tells the captain that the eclipse is part of the plan to open the door to the underworld and defeat the evil zeref. He asks the captain to come quietly, but the captain refuses, saying that the plan is a top secret, and that the people involved will play a critical role in the eclipse. He then asks the colonel to stop all of this foolishness, and the captain says that the king has taken liking to fairy tails
