It was apparently a quiet night at Lucy's apartment. She, Gray, Erza, Natsu, and Happy slept around in her room. On her pillow next to her head was a small black fox, her latest celestial spirit; the dark fox Kurona. However, Kurona merely created the illusion of Lucy's aprtment as to make them feel more secure. Gray, however, found no such comfort,knowing where they were; They were out in the mountains to take care of some deadly demons who hadn't shown themselves yet. He looked over at Erza, Seeing she wasn't asleep yet either. She lay awake, staying alert in their tent. "Kurona... cut the illusion, we're fine like this." Erza said calmly. The small fox's ears perked as she did so. the illusion dissipating to reveal they were in a small tent. Different howls and growls were heard outside, as Erza then sat right up. "Natsu, wake up." She poked him.

My names Cloud i am an equip wizard, i have longish sand blond hair that was getting in my face all the time. I carry around no weapons unless i need them, it was a quiet night in this town but i was only passing through for the night. I don't belong to a guild yet but this town was home to the Fairy Tail Guild and the amazing beautiful Erza queen of the fairys. "Hmph" i said to myself and let out a sigh before traveling right into the mountains.

"Yes Erza?" Natsu said getting up out of his bed. "The're here. Wake up everyone.." she said, requipping a sword. Gray stood up and looked at Natsu. He didn't say a word, and soon looked away. He felt nostalgic where they were; they were close to a place that was fammiliar to him. Soon after, everyone in the tent was up and ready to fight what waited outside the tent. it was snowing somewhat hard but that didn't phase Gray what so ever but on the other hand, Natsu was a different story but he was ready.

"And what do you think your doing?" i asked looking at them all. Erza looked right at him. "We're from the fairy tail guild, On a mission. Who might you be? She asked as she approached him. "The names Cloud and i'm a wizard myself as for you guys way out there you'll have to deal with them" I said looking right into her eyes, My eyes are sky blue as blue as bright as the middle of the summer sky. "Don't worry they won't be a problem" Natsu said looking at me. "Your sure about that?" I asked him. "Yeah we are the strongest team in Fairy Tail" natsu said with a gaint smile. "I highly doubt that" i said looking right at him.

Erza sighed. "And an indepedent mage compared to all of us... isn't that streaching it a bit much? ?" She asked, casually brushing a strand of hair behind her eye. Gray seemed slightly bothered by her words, as he used to know someone very strong. "Hey, he might be talking big, But that doesn't mean his very strong.." He said, looking away. He looked off into the distance, knowing that a few miles from where he stood was a special place he used to know. Erza looked at him thoughtfully for a moment, then looked back at Cloud. "And do you know anything about the demons living around here?" She asked.
