As the people of Magnolia passed by him, Draden couldn't help but wonder why people at times stopped to look at him for only a brief moment before continuing on with their day like they never saw him at all. But frankly he didn't care he had his oldest friend Bailey with him, Draden could never help but smile whenever he looked down at this salivating scruffy mutt he called his friend. Draden is an S class wizard in the dark guild "Shadow Sprites" although it is a dark guild he doesn't care about appearances as long as he feels right about it he'll fight for what he thinks is important, most importantly his friends, especially his friend from far away "Violet Aqua" although he doesn't see much of the celestial wizard he has no one else in his life who's friendship could rival that of Bailey's. When he pictures her he always remembers her hair first that kind of goofy waist length purple hair that he would never change even if given the opportunity. Never before had he meant a wizard as strong willed as her well not since his father Gray Fullbuster and his old guild friend Natsu Dragneel, "Enough of that." He hasn't spoke to his father since his mother's –Juvia Lockser-, Draden never liked thinking about mother considering she gave her life saving him and now he feels responsible.
He will always remember her killer's face and guild mark but to this day he does not the guild it belongs to. Even an old friend of his father's Levy couldn't identify it, but he will keep looking until he finds the guild and destroys it.
Suddenly Draden is alerted by Bailey's low growl he turns around slowly to see two thugs standing hunched with weapons(one with a knife the other a club) he merely sighs and exclaims in his rough low voice,
"Is there something I can help a couple of numskulls like you with?"
Trying not to seem intimidated but slightly failing the taller slimmer of the two says:
"y-yeah old man you can help us pay for our next months meals, now hand over any jewels you have on you!"
Feeling somewhat amused as well as irritated Draden simply says whilst tipping his tattered cowboy hat up, which an old member of fairytail gave him as a birthday present and he shouted "DARK-MAKE BOMB" and with the fading of the dark purple smoke all that could be seen of the thugs were there unconscious bodies embedded halfway through a wall, and with a quick dusting off of his cloak, Draden proceeded to head back to 'Shadow Sprites'.
