I'm waiting, wizards of Fairy Tail. Come and find me, the Radiant Half-Dragon who will consume you whole.

A white cat sat up in bed and panted with fear, her eyes dilated and her paws digging into the coverlet. "What dream….was that….."

O.O

One summer afternoon, a certain blonde Celestial Wizard was parked in front of the Fairy Tail request board, reading the flyers and calculating rent money by the rewards they offered.

"Help free the villagers from a giant Ember Beast." Lucy sighed. "More like Juvia's type. 'A Wrestling Tournament that challenges the magic and physical might of its competitors.' Now that's DEFINITLY not my thing." She sighed and slumped to the ground. "And my rent's due in a couple of weeks!"

"What about this one?" Wakaba, the resident request board loiterer, pointed out a modest flyer with a single brilliant gem as its picture. The words 500,000 Jewel popped out to a delighted Lucy's eyes.

"'Missing: a Rainbow Lacrima.'" She read. "'Please locate this rare gem of the Trainbow Family that has been missing for fifteen years.' Wow, fifteen years? I'm surprised they posted a request after all this time."

"Actually, that request has been there for a while now." Wakaba pointed out. "But no one's never successfully located the gem. It's surprising, really."

"Well, it offers 500,000 Jewel. That's a lot of moolah!" Natsu grinned, while Happy popped his head out from behind and called out an, "Aye, sir!"

"Who said you get to come along?!" Lucy yelled. "I need this rent money badly!"

"But we're broke too." Happy bemoaned. "Plus, we're a team! I don't want you to go somewhere by yourself!" Natsu smiled at Lucy and she felt her heart melt.

"Fine." She grunted. "But don't expect me to baby you. We're riding a ferry across the river to the south side of Fiore."

"ALL the way?" Natsu was already turning green at the thought of it. "How far IS this job?!"

"Pretty far." Lucy told him as Mirajane gave them approval and the Master wished them luck.

"And how do you know about this so much?" Natsu queried as they grabbed their things and bid farewell to their guildmates.

"My dad used to have business with the Trainbow Family." Lucy explained pleasantly as they walked out of the guild hall. "They were a very wealthy family, but they abhorred wizards. Strange that they will ask for some now."

"What's wrong with wizards? We're awesome, we kick butt, and we have powerful magic to boot!" Natsu was singing away at the air, his charmingly childish behavior making Lucy giggle. "Oh, Natsu…."

"Wait for us, Lucy-chan!" Lucy turned to see Wendy, Carla, and Gray following them at a hectic pace, EErza draggin her mountain of luggage. "We're coming with you!"

Two hours later, Natsu was now moaning and writhing on the seat of the ferry, looking greener than Bisca's hair. "Ugh…shpinning….can't….move…."

"Aaaand he's out." Gray leaned back and began watching the banks of the river swiftly speed by them. "I'm glad to be out for a change.

"If you mean out of your clothes then yes." Lucy sighed as Gray yelped and began hurriedly slipping his clothes back on.

Erza was reading the flyer with a slight frown on her face. "That's odd. It doesn't tell us the name of the client."

"It says the Trainbow Family, doesn't it?" Wendy pointed out. "We just have to go to the manor the flyer designated. There's no need for an individual name, is there?"

"Hmm." Erza's frown did not dissipate, but she set the flyer aside and scooted over to the prone Natsu. "This should help." She gave him a resounding thump on the head and Natsu was soon off to bye-bye land, much to the shock of the nearby passengers.

Lucy sighed and leaned back on her seat, her blonde hair riding the wind. "I wonder what will await us there…"

Wendy noticed that Carl was acting strangely subdued, frowning at the floor and scratching her head. "Is something wrong, Carla?" The little Dragonslayer inquired. Carla shuddered and looked up into the girl's innocent eyes.

"It's nothing, child." Carla mustered a smile. "Just a bad dream."

O.O

My mouth is aching for the taste of fairies. Come and find me, the Radiant Half-Dragon, wizards of Fairy Tail ,and accept your fate.
