"Let's see I think it must be this way, I think." A voice that belonged to a young boy no older than ten or eleven said as he walked down a road.
The young boy was wearing a simple blue tee-shirt with a jacket over it and also had shorts on that were white and went to his knees he also had on two bracelets on, one for each arm, both were simple string bracelets with one bead on each, but the left bead had the kanji for 'moon' on it and the right one said 'sun', and he also had on normal shoes that seemed for running.
"Ami and Tsyu said that the place I need to go to was called Fairy Tail, but finding it is really hard." The young boy said as he sat on the ground and pulled out a map to see where he was or more specifically his destination.
"So I think I'm here, and I need to get there, it looks like it's still a long way away." The boy said as he lowered his head in slight defeat.
"Ami and Tsyu are jerks for leaving, but they at least left me food and stuff for the journey that they want me to go on, okay pull yourself together S you can do this." The boy now known as S said to himself as to cheer him up as he started to walk again.
"Keep Running!" A voice said that drew S's attention as he looked to where the woods were at as the voice was coming from there.
And coming running out of the woods were bandits that seemed like they were running for their lives and counting in total there were ten all wearing similar outfits.
"Do you think we lost them?" One of the bandits said as he tried to catch his breath from the most likely long run to escape who ever their pursuer was.
"Think so, that forest is huge they wouldn't know how to get out like we do." Another bandit said having caught his breath.
"I wouldn't be so sure of that." A female voice said as the bandits went stiff with fear from what it looks like.
"Crap its Titania!" the bandits started to freak as one of them finally noticed S.
And as soon as the bandit noticed the boy he pulled out a knife and held S by his waist and put the edge of the knife next to his neck while the girl called Titania gave a very scary glare at the bandit for taking a child hostage.
"Look here Titania you let us go and the boy doesn't get hurt, one move outa you and I slit the boy's throat." The bandit leader or one of them said as Titania lowered the sword she had and made it disappear and S knew she was a mage from doing that.
"Hey it's okay Miss. Titania I'm a lot tougher then I look, so don't worry." S said to the female as she looked from one bandit to the other but it seems that she didn't hear him nor did the other bandits hear him.
"Jerks." S said as he realized that no one had heard him speak but the thing he just said was heard.
"What you say brat!" the bandit holding on to him said as he held the knife closer to his neck trying to make the boy scared when he wasn't.
"I said 'jerks' and you're really dumb if you think this scares me." S said as he elbowed the bandit in the gut making him stagger for a little and turned and punched him in the face effectively knocking him out.
"Mages are more dangerous than people like you." S said as the other bandits and Titania were surprised at what he did though Titania was slightly less surprised from his actions. And from using the small distraction he caused she had cut the others down and rounded them up.
"Are you alright child?" Titania asked as she looked over him to see if he got any injuries from knife.
"I'm fine Miss. Titania, thanks for asking." S said as he nodded his head.
"Good and I thank you for helping me, but my name is Erza so call me that." Erza said as she patted S's head.
"My name's Seliph, thanks for the save Miss. Erza but I have to get going if I wanna get to Fairy Tail." The now named Seliph said as he started to walk again.
"Why are you going to Fairy Tail Seliph?" Erza asked him as he looked back at her.
"Ami and Tsyu said I should go there since there are people like me there." Seliph said as he rubbed his head and smiled at Erza.
"I see well why don't you come back with me and my friends, we're Fairy Tail Mages and I know that they would love to meet you." Erza told Seliph as she rubbed his head and he grinned.
"Really, let's go find your friends!" Erza could understand the boy's excitement as joining a guild is something special.
"Now, now Seliph don't run ahead to far okay, I've heard that there are monsters in this forest and that's why the bandits made their base here, I want you to be careful okay." Erza told the young boy as he nodded his head following behind her and looking for any monsters.
….
After walking for a while the two found a blonde haired girl and a black haired male who was in boxers and scattered around them are a bunch of unconscious bandits
"Lucy, Gray I see you two did some work over here." Erza said to the now named Lucy and Gray as they came up to her.
"Hey Erza I'm guessing you took out your section pretty quickly." Gray said to Erza as Lucy took notice of Seliph.
"Erza who's the boy?" Lucy asked confused as Erza turned to Seliph and Gray looked at him to.
"This is Seliph and he's going to be joining Fairy Tail, don't worry about his abilities I've seen them myself and he's quite strong for his age." Erza said as Seliph waved to the two older mages and Lucy waved back.
"Hi I'm Lucy and you made a good choice about the guild you're joining." Lucy greeted and gave him a big smile while Gray did a lazy wave.
"Nice to meet you Kid." Seliph nodded at him still wearing a smile on his face.
"Now where is Natsu?" Erza asked as she looked around for him while Gray shrugged.
"I don't know think we lost him when the bandits decided to hightail it out of here." As Gray explained he felt something poke him in the side and looked to see Seliph staring at him Gray was a little confused as to why he poked him.
"You're naked." Was all that Seliph said as Gray looked down and saw he was in his underwear.
"Crap where are my cloths!" Lucy and Erza now had shocked face on as they didn't even realize that Gray was in his underwear.
"I've gotten used to it." Lucy said as she had tears in her eyes while she dramatically fell down rubbing her teary eyes.
"It's okay Miss. Lucy, I'm sure that just means you're good friends." Seliph said as he sat next to the crying blonde trying to cheer her up.
"Yeah, but still Seliph I should notice Gray's stripping habits, wait did you call me Miss." Lucy said as she looked at Seliph and he nodded his head.
"Yeah Ami always said to me 'be nice to girls and be polite to those that are older then you' so I need to be nice to you, Miss. Erza and Mr. Gray." Lucy nodded at what he said and patted his head with a happy grin on her face.
"You're going to be a lady-killer when you grow up, but you kind of look like someone to me." Lucy said as she pulled her hand back from patting Seliph's head as he smiled at the praise, but he didn't exactly know what a 'lady-killer' was.
"Well now that you three know each other let's find Natsu so we can head back." Erza said as she started to walk in a direction with the other three following after her.
…
"Natsu, where are you!"
"Natsu we don't have all day!"
"Come on Flame-brain where did you go!"
"Mr. Natsu, come out come out wherever you are!"
As the small search party looked for Natsu, Lucy happened to learn more about Seliph and Erza as well, one of his reasons for joining Fairy Tail was to find his older brother as Ami and Tsyu told him that they felt a similar magic signature from there. But there was one question that was in their heads.
"Seliph who are Ami and Tsyu you seem to mention them a lot, are they your siblings?" Lucy asked him as they continued walking looking for her pink-haired friend.
"No Ami is my mom I guess and Tsyu is my uncle." Seliph explained as Gray looked at him with a questioning stare.
"You call your mom and uncle by their first names?" Seliph looked at Gray and moved his head in a no motion.
"They aren't my real family they're my adopted family, Ami and Tsyu are dragons." Seliph explained as the trio of young adults in front of him were surprised.
"YOUR"RE A DRAGON SLAYER!" Seliph flinched from the sudden intensity of the shout and nodded his head meekly.
"Yes I can use Solar dragon slaying magic and Lunar dragon slaying magic." Seliph felt like he should cover his ears and he did so.
"TWO DRAGON SALYER MAGICS!" The trio was, to mildly put it, shocked at this revelation and they started to think of whom Seliph's brother was, and they only really had three options, and then they proceeded to make a small huddle to talk about the sudden revelation.
"So we have three options to choose from." Erza said as the group huddle was going to start the debate on who was Seliph's older brother
….
"So we've closed it down to two correct." Erza stated as Lucy and Gray nodded their heads and continues to look for Natsu after their short huddle discussion.
…
"Natsu, there you are!" Lucy said as she ran up to him with the other three coming up behind her.
"Hey guys what took you so long?" Natsu said as a blue cat sat on his shoulder.
"Looking for you char-breath." Gray said as the pink-haired male and black-haired started to argue throwing insults to each other.
"Erza who's this kid?" Seliph didn't expect the cat to talk so the minor freak-out that he had didn't faze Erza or Lucy.
"Happy, this is Seliph and Seliph this is Happy, Seliph is going to join Fairy Tail and look for his brother." Lucy said to the now flying blue cat as Seliph extended his hand to him.
"Nice to meet you Happy." Happy shook hands with the black haired boy and due to Erza breaking up the fight Natsu and Gray were in Natsu saw it fit to introduce himself to Seliph.
"Nice to meet ya kid name's Natsu." Seliph found that everyone from Fairy Tail, that he'd meet so far, are nice people.
"I know Mr. Natsu and are you and Miss. Lucy dating?" Seliph innocently asked as Lucy started to turn as red as her scarlet haired friend's hair and even Natsu started to turn pink.
"Where did that come from?!" Lucy yelled as she tried to cover her burning face of embarrassment.
"Well Ami said that 'The eyes are windows to the heart and soul, if you can read eyes you can read people' and Mr. Natsu looks at you a little differently than Mr. Gray and Miss. Erza." Seliph explained as he pointed at Natsu as the pink haired male tried to get attention off of him.
"Lucy's my best friend so it's obvious that I look at her differently than they do Seliph!" Natsu said as he was starting to calm down and Lucy was to her face was now the shade of Natsu's hair, as this ordeal went on no one seemed to notice the shadowy figure hiding behind a tree.
…
"I'm sorry Miss. Lucy I thought you two were dating." Seliph said as bowed to show his apology meant something as the group of five humans and one cat went back to the town where the older mages had taken the job from.
"It's okay Seliph you're a kid so I should have expected really direct questions, I was the same way when I was your age." Lucy said as she walked next to him with Happy sitting on the boys head.
"Still, I didn't expect you to ask that of all things Seliph." Erza said regaining a blush at the memory of it.
"To be fair he probably did us a favor, I've never seen Natsu so quiet, and it's kind of refreshing." Gray said looking at the pink haired male due to his unnatural silence.
"Miss. Lucy what did you mean when you said I was going to be a 'lady-killer' when I'm older." Seliph asked as Lucy let out a small giggle now expecting random questions from the boy.
"I said that because I feel you're going to be really handsome when you get older and have a bunch of girls ask you out, so you're a 'lady-killer'." Lucy explained as Seliph nodded his head with a blush on his face.
"Lucy talks a lot of nonsense so don't listen to her Seliph." Happy said as he stared to fly once again but was taken out of the air by an angry Lucy.
"Shut up Cat!" Seliph sweat-dropped at the scene in front of him and tried to catch up to Gray, who was now fully clothed, and tried to start up a conversation with him.
"Mr. Gray, what's Fairy Tail like?" Gray looked at Seliph as he tried to find the best words.
"I don't really know how to describe the guild kid; I guess you'll have to learn about it yourself." Gray told Seliph as Seliph seemed to gain stars in his eyes that seemed to scream excitement.
"Okay, what type of magic do you use?" Seliph asked as Gray made a quick ice sculpture of the Fairy Tail symbol.
"Ice-make Magic, Erza got Re-equip, Lucy can use Celestial Spirit Magic, and Natsu's a dragon slayer like you." Gray not only showed off his magic to Seliph but also told the boy what magic the others could use to save them the trouble.
"Wow that's super cool, so Mr. Natsu is a dragon slayer too." Seliph said as he ran up to Natsu trying to start up a conversation with him.
…..
After picking up their pay from their client the group started to walk back to the guild, to pass the time Seliph asked about some of the jobs that the older mages went on and got a few interesting stories.
"So then we had to sneak into…."
"HELP!" As Lucy was telling Seliph a story about some of the jobs she went on a scream stopped the group and they ran to see who was in need of help.
"What's going on here?" Erza said as she was the first one to see what was going on.
What she saw wasn't really much of a surprise; it was a simple merchant caravan getting ran-sacked by a group of thieves, one of the thieves heard Erza and launched a lighting spell of at her, which was blocked by a soft blue barrier as Seliph had extended his hand to use his magic.
"That was mean Mr. thief you didn't need to attack Miss Erza." Seliph said as he lowered his arm and got in a fighting position like the others, while Happy ran for the hills.
"These guys are just petty thieves, Seliph why not show what you can do to Gray, Lucy and Natsu." Erza asked as she lowered her weapon that she spawned to fight with.
"Okay…I'll try." Seliph was of course was worried and nervous about the whole thing since the fight he would have to do was a four vs. one.
"It's okay Seliph, show them what us Dragon-slayers can do." Natsu could see the worry from the boy's body language so he decided to try and cheer him up.
"If you get in a predicament we'll help okay." Lucy told Seliph as he nodded and the thieves finally getting out of their stupor from Seliph's shield and started to laugh at the boy.
"You think a kid is going to beat us, you're sorely mistaken!" one of the thieves said as he fired off a sphere of fire at Seliph, who in turn put up another shield and dashed into his fight.
'It's almost nighttime so I'll be able to use that.' Seliph thought as he saw the sun going down over the horizon.
"Keep your eyes on us Kid!" one of the thieves said as he punched Seliph knocking him into the ground, but the thieves didn't see the small smirk that was on Seliph's face.
"Seliph! Hold on we're coming to help!" Lucy said as she tried to pull out her Leo Key but Natsu put his hand on her arm effectively stopping her.
"Natsu what are you doing Seliph needs our help!" Lucy said but before she could add anything else the look Natsu had in his eye stopped her.
"Don't interrupt this test for Seliph, plus the thing on the ground isn't him." Natsu said as Lucy and the others saw the 'Seliph' on the ground turn red and disappeared.
"What the hell!" of course the thieves didn't expect that to happen and were quite surprised at the clone.
"Lunar Dragon Crescent Fist!" one of the thieves was suddenly slammed into the ground as Seliph showed up with a soft blue aura around his hands.
"I was right using Lunatic Double on you guys did play out in my favor." Seliph said as he got ready to go back in the fight and knockout the other three wrong doers.
"What the hell is this kid?" one of the thieves said as the three of them backed up slightly.
"I'm a dragon slayer and unless you want to get mauled by one I suggest leaving now." And upon hearing Seliph's word the thieves hightailed it out of there, after picking up their fallen ally.
"Seliph that was so cool!" Happy said to the boy as he flew over and started to praise him making the young boy blush from the praise while the older mages each had a grin on their faces.
"So did he pass Erza?" Gray asked the red-haired female as she gave a swift nod.
"Yes, seeing Seliph's magic for the first time has solidified him in my mind." Erza explained as Lucy didn't understand.
"What do you mean Erza?" Erza looked towards Lucy and was about to explained but Natsu cut her off.
"She meant if he was ready to do jobs and stuff right after he got his guild mark." Lucy was shocked at what Natsu said.
"But he's so young shouldn't he wait a little before going on a job!" Gray moved his head in a 'no' manner before explaining.
"Don't worry Lucy we went on jobs when we were at his age and if it makes you feel better you can go with him when he takes a job or one of us can go if you don't want to." Lucy was of course still upset but felt a little better due to the fact that Seliph would have help if he went on a job.
"Let's rest for the night and get back tomorrow morning; I didn't expect it to take this long." Erza said as she went to her giant mountain of luggage and found some sleeping bags for the group.
"All I know is we're lucky the merchant caravan got away while Seliph was distracting the thieves." Lucy said as Natsu called over the said boy and Happy.
