The sun had just started to peak over the horizon and the morning dew had just started to evaporate when out of the forest burst two dark figures. They both were wearing the ruminants of what used to be a prisoner's jumpsuit. It looked like the tops had been attacked by a weedwhacker, the two men's exposed chests looked the same, slashed and cut. Both were covered in dried blood,bits of plants and dirt. All of this made them look somewhat like walking trees, and you couldn't make out much other than their sizes. The larger of the two, who's name was Attero looked at his companion and held up his hands, which incidentally were handcuffed together.
"Ossein, we need to get these things off, or we won't be able to get those damned soldiers off our tail."
The second figure, Ossein, grunted and frowned.
"Well seeing as it nullifies magic, I'm not sure we can, unless you know a locksmith. Now if we had your sword, that would be easier. Luckily, we know where that is, and those damned Trogs don't know where it is. Only problem is, I don't know where we are."
He looked around and sighed.
"This damned forest is too damned big." He said looking at the black trees surrounding the clearing.
A twig snapped in the distance behind the two of them.
"Shit, we need to keep moving, come on."
So saying he took off In the opposite direction of the noises. After some time, they spotted a building through the trees. Ossein looked around and frowned.
"Hmm."
"What, what is it." Attero asked looking at his comrade.
"Well, you see that stump over there, the one with the tiny tree growing out of the crack in the middle? That stump is maybe a mile west of the lagoon where we stashed our stuff before we were captured, but I don't remember a building being here."
Attero frowned. "Well, what do we do now, we can't stay here, and I doubt that we will out run the soldiers long enough to make it to the lagoon."
Ossein thought for a second, all the while the sounds of soldiers were getting closer. "Come on were hiding in there."
The two got up and tore into the clearing, quickly running over to the building and opening the front door. The building was massive, there were several wings and a pool in the back. Above the door there was a sign that read Fairy Tail, with an insignia above it. Ossein grabbed the door with both hands and quickly but quietly opened it and waved his friend inside. The two quickly shut the door and looked around. Inside was what looked like a massive dining hall with a stage at the back. Strewn all over was sleeping figures, it looked like the occupants had passed out all over the place. While they had been taking in the scene, the soldiers had gotten close to them, and suddenly started to pound on the door. Ossein and Attero dove behind a counter off to the side and hid in some barrels that were behind it. As they did so the room started to stir, in response to the pounding on the door. The two listened as slowly but surely the occupants woke up and started to complain about the noise.
Someone yelled "Oi, Romeo, get your foot off my face."
Another groaned something about fish, and another on groaned "Someone open the door and tell whoever it is to fuck off."
The door creaked open and there were some words exchanged, the two companions were too far away to hear clearly but it appeared that the soldiers were arguing with the inhabitants about where they were. It seemed that the people were part of a guild called "Fairy Tail" and had up until that day been in a city called "Magnolia". The soldiers weren't buying it and were threatening to arrest everyone in the building for harboring fugitives. Someone who was called Makarov offered to let the soldiers search the premises for whoever they were looking for. Ossein and Attero stiffened in their hiding places and held their breath as the solders accepted and started banging around through the place. While that was happening, someone was wondering loudly how a forest had suddenly appeared outside the hall.
Someone shouted "How dumb can you be Hot head, obviously the hall was moved to this forest."
Who ever was being called "Hot head" shouted back "Shut up ice brain, how could the Guild be moved like that? "
There was a scuffle and it sounded like there was a quick fist fight that ended with two quick and rapid clanging noises and the two arguing individuals shut up, and someone piped up "Maybe we were transported here after we had all passed out."
"Exactly Ezra thank you." Said someone.
While that had been happening, the soldiers had begun to get closer to the pairs hiding spot. Closer and closer they came, opening crates and barrels as they went. Just as they were about to open the barrels that the pair were hiding in someone, sounding rather old, piped up.
"Uh I wouldn't open those if I were you, that stuff is highly reactive and will explode when exposed t air."
Ossein and Attero knew at the very least that this was not true, the barrels smelled like alcohol. And one of the speakers comrades, a woman, said "Umm... master I don't-"but she was cut of by the "master" saying
"I restocked those barrels while you lot were sleeping, now by all means open them, just let us get outside first, I don't know about the rest of them, but I don't want to be blown to kingdom come."
The soldiers immediately drew back and grunted about the search being complete. They left apologizing and saying if the occupants knew anything about the fugitives they were to contact the Trogavell Commander Festus Free.
When the soldiers had left, someone walked over to the barrels saying.
"Um master, these are empty beer barrels, not whatever you told those soldiers."
The master chuckled and said "They aren't empty any more, come on you two, show your selves."
The pair each slowly opened their respective barrels and stood up sheepishly.
"Um… Hi." Ossein said looking around. There were quite a lot of people in the room, the one that everyone was calling master seemed to be a short old man standing on the counter. There were two men, one with pink hair and the other with blue hair, looking at each other with large red marks on their faces. A girl in armor and with red hair was holding them. There was a trio of white haired people, two girls and a man standing off to one side. There was also a blonde standing towards the back with three cats standing around here. Ossein and Attero looked at each other and back at the old man.
"Thank you for that." Ossein said, "But if you knew where we were, why did you help us?"
The old man smiled and shrugged. "Trogavell is known for imprisoning people wrongly, all the real criminals are in charge."
He turned towards the people assembled in the hall. "And yes, I know where we are, this clearing is the original guild hall. Sometimes if its needed here, it will appear here. Apparently, the magic governing such a thing decided that these two need aid so here we are. And we can get back by casting a simple teleport spell on the building."
Attero seemed to sway slightly and fell over, collapsing in the ground.
The master Makarov turned back and looked down, calling over some of his guildmembers to help him, he turned towards Ossein. "What happened to you two, you look like you have had quite the ordeal, I can't even really tell what you look like. "
Ossein winced as he felt the pain returning as the adrenaline left his system. "Well it's a very interesting story…." He said before he also blacked out.
