AN: My first crossover. This idea was born a long time ago but I didn't feel like publishing until know. DarkSmokePuncher was the one that inspired me to write it, and even helped me with suggestions. I hope that you like it.

Summary: A strange blond man, with weird "magical" powers unknown until now had appeared requesting Wendy Marvel to be his apprentice, showing in the process his knowledge of the location of the dragons Igneel, Metalicana and Grandine. At the same time, rumors of a new guild recruiting powerful members start to travel through all Fiore. What is happening? What is the sense of dread that is starting to touch the magical world?

Pairing: IS NOT DECIDED YET, and I'm unsure if Naruto will have any. I can confirm Gray/Juvia and Natsu/Lucy OR Natsu/Lisana (still deciding).

Updates: As you may have noticed, I have in progression other 3 fics going on, and thus, the updates for a while will be kind of slow for this fic. I also will take the policy that, until I finish each arc, I will not publish a chapter. This will allow me to over check continuity issues in the story as allow me to look for any spelling/grammar mistakes that escape my notice (my readers know that these problems are legendary in my other stories TT_TT).

BROKEN CIRCLE

Introductory Arc

Noveno Elemento:

Encounter of the third kind.

"Why? Is it something wrong with me? Am I a bad girl? Why, then, everybody abandons me!" These were the depressing thoughts of Wendy Marvell, knelt on the floor, crying while the people that she considered her family, her guild, vanished in front her eyes. She was alone again, a recurrent in her live, it seems.

She, alongside members of other guilds, had stopped the dark guild Oración Seis in their conquest of the forbidden magic, Nirvana. For the first time she felt herself useful, that she wasn't weak. That she would be able to protect her home and because of that she would not be alone again. And those hopes just crashed down on the floor, breaking like fragile glass.

Erza Scarlet, Fairy Tail's Titania, was telling her, with the backup of her nakamas, encouraging words, but they weren't reaching her. Wait, did she hear right? Were they inviting her to join their guild?

"What for? So that you can abandon me too?" thought Wendy bitterly, but immediately squashed the fleeting thought. These people weren't mean and she knew first hand that they spoke sincerely and weren't bad people.

"Ara, ara. That was a tad too cruel, even for me." Say an emotionless voice behind their backs.

Turning around in the blink of an eye, the battered group took their defensive stances, ready to jump into action if needed.

In front of them was a man, a really young man. Wendy assumed that he was maybe a year older than Erza at most. He had spike bright hair that was long enough to each his back. Half of his face was covered by a black mask that disappeared behind his sleeveless high collar muscle shirt. The shirt itself was black with some whirling designs in orange on its borders. Completing the outfit, the man wore matching long black pants with the same orange designs. His feet there covered by black sandals while the lower part of his legs, above the ankles, were bandaged.

On his forehead as headband with a metal plate on its centre, this, oddly enough, had a diagonal slash crossing it.

Four things caught the attention of the crew though. First were the estranger's eyes. They were pupiless and the irises were totally white, which give him the impression that the young man was blind. The second thing that was highlighted was a sole deeply diagonal scar that crossed the man's eyes. It was like somebody had slashed with a blade his face to render him blind, which could explain the estrange eyes. But for Wendy, being well versed in the medic field, this didn't add up because such a scar meant that he would have lost his eyes all together. The third thing that caught the group's attention was the bandaged sword on the man's back, on his waist. The four, and the most glaring, thing that called their attention was that the man only had one arm. His left arm was totally gone, severed totally from his left shoulder.

"Who are you?" asked Erza, a tad too loud to be courteous.

"Wendy Marvell…" the blond man started, ignoring Erza's inquiry which pissed her off. "… you are a little taller than I anticipated."

"Wh…who are you?" asked Wendy drying her tears and killing her sobs.

"I go by many names, but from the time being you can call me Kurama." A pause. The brief silence put the group on the edge. "I came here to ask you to become my apprentice."

"WHAT THE HELL!" yelled Natsu, who, until then, had kept his temper in check. Something about this stranger nagged him in familiarity, but he could not guess what it was and that was maddening him. "Who do you think you are to demand such a thing?"

But the man didn't answer, not taking off his gaze, even if he couldn't see, from the Sky Priestess. For Natsu, that was the last straw. With a war cry, the Fire Dragon Slayer launched himself, baling punch at its fullest, towards the enemy.

"Natsu, wait!" yelled Erza, but was for naught. Cursing under her breath the pinknette's impulsivity and promises of retribution later on, the Queen of Fairies launch her own attack followed by the rest of the group.

"I'm waiting for your answer, Wendy Marvell." Said Kurama with his faces at mere inches of Wendy's. In a blink of an eye, the blond man somehow had crossed several meters of distance and had moved across the attackers without them noticing. Wendy almost jumped in surprise.

"What the hell!" was the collective thought after they registered what had occurred.

"How?" thought Wendy. "A moment ago he was so far away." "Ano.. Sr. Kurama, I don't know who are you, I can't go with you." Said Wendy, regaining her breath, in her cute shy voice. At her side, Charle was stunned.

"I see. Then, we will part our ways. Before I go, take this." Kurama said while, reaching out of somewhere under his muscle shirt, pulling out a collar that had an opaque jewel on its centre; a jewel that she recognized immediately.

"This is one of Grandine scales!" thought Wendy alarmed, and excited. This man knew her mother!

"The Sky Dragon, Grandine, sent you this." Say the blond. "She also let you a message: "Get stronger. The time that we see each other again is near." And with that the man started to walk away, or he tried, because at the moment, a really pissed Natsu was blocking his way.

"Wait! Where is mom? Why she left? Did I did something wrong?" Yelled Wendy. The despair in her voice was heartbreaking, but the blond man, stopping on his tracks, didn't change his emotionless expression.

"That is up to Grandine to tell you. But I can say this much… leaving you behind broke her heart as much as it broke yours. One day, she will explain you her actions. Until that day, heed her advice." Said the blonde without turning to face her. Instead, he kept his gaze on Natsu. "You are Natsu Dragonil." It was a statement. "Your father, Igneel, sent you the same message and this." Similar bracelets to what Wendy was pressing with all her might against her chest at the moment, landed on Natsu's hands. "The other one is for a man called Gazeel Redfox, the son of the metal dragon, Metalicana. The same message goes to him."

"You know Igneel too? Tell me where he is, why he left." Demanded Natsu, ignoring his own shock.

"Wendy…" said Kurama, ignoring Natsu in similar fashion of how he ignored Erza earlier. "Look your right palm." He didn't turn his head either to know that the girl did as he told her. On her palm she saw an ink spiral. "If you get yourself in trouble, and your new friends can't help you, channel your magic into that mark. I will know, and I will be there, next to you, in a flash. But remember, if you call me, it will mean that you had accepted to become my disciple, and you will have to come with me after the deed is done."

Erza was about to ask more questions before beating the blond to the ground, but the man was surrounded by a yellow light.

In a flash, the self named Kurama was gone.

Dozens of kilometers away, said man appeared in flash in a clearing that he had prepare beforehand. After a couple of seconds of looking the general direction where he knew the mages of the three guilds were, for the first time, some emotions showed in his half covered face.

"Hinata-chan, my hime," the man murmured, "that girl looks and acts a lot like you used to…" said Kurama, with sadness rolling over him, before regain his posture like nothing had happened.

(flashback)

"Ne, Naruto-kun, do you will take me to Spring country one day." The angelic voice of the woman next to him was music to his ears.

"Of course, Hinata-chan. We goanna spent a whole week there as vacations when all of this is gone and done for. Believe it!" said a blond young man with a happy grin in his face, his eyes full of conviction, still innocent to the cruelties of the world.

(end of flashback)

Like that, silently, without showing emotions of any kind, the man started to walk away, disappearing between the foliage of the forest.

It took the man to reach the closest town the rest of the day, arriving during the night fall. Before he entered, he henged in a redhead man with green eyes and pale skin. His clothes also changed to a brown and dirty travel cloak that covered all his body from his neck till his ankles. He was carefully to not show that he only had an arm.

Instead of going directly to the inn to take some rest he walked further into the village until he arrived to the blacksmith workshop. Entering without knocking, a bell that was on the door announced his presence.

There, hammering and smelting a piece of metal that was starting to look like a sword, stood a muscular old man that looked like he was a warrior of the Kingdom, when in reality he was a Blacksmith, a good one at that, that had never been in a battle, but his eyes were full of experience and wisdom that could only be gained with time and old age.

"Good evening, Sr. Mauro. Is my order ready?" asked the new redhead.

"Oh, Mr. Uzu, yeah; I was able to finish them on time. Wait a second here." Said jovially the old man Mauro. The new named Uzu didn't have to wait long before Mauro came back from the back part of the workshop with a folded mantle. Unfolding the mantle, Mauro showed to Uzu with pride the fruits of his art.

"Here, 64 knives as the same model that you gave me and 102 metal starts. Also, thought it was difficult, I manage to make with the leftovers 51 of those estrange long needles that you ask me for. Do you want to test them?" Uzu only nod before taking a kunai and start to play with it in different forms while randomly throwing and catching it with the finesse and beauty of a Circus Performer.

"They are perfect." Commented Uzu without stopping his little test. "The balance is even better than my old ones and the weight feels lighter." Appreciated the blond.

"Oh, this was my idea. Since I didn't have the same metal that yours were made of, I ordered a new alloy that had been created by the Mages of the Court. I hope that is to your liking." Said Mauro nervously. Uzu only nodded before taking a shuriken to do similar tests and later, the sembons.

When he was done he pulled out a Sealing Storage Scroll and seal, in front of the awed Mauro, his purchase while taking out a little bag, obviously full of gold that he passed to the blacksmith. Mauro was still kind of shocked by this weird "magic" that he had never heard before. Even if he saw it the first time that his redhead client came to his workshop, it still amazed him.

"Here is the second part for the payment." Said Uzu before taking the scroll and hide him under his cloak.

"Oh, by the way, a letter arrived this morning, as you said it would be delivered: by a fox." Said incredulously Mauro. When Uzu had told him that he was expecting a letter via a fox, he almost laughed on his face, but managed to contain himself. So imaging his surprise when a brown fox came to his shop, God knows how, with a letter in his tiny mouth. Shaking his head, he continued. "Also, I had kept my ears open for anything unusual. A traveler that came yesterday was talking that a bunch of Dark Guilds in the Dessert of the East had disappear without a trace. The rumor says that a new squad of Magical Knights took care of them, but neither the Council or the Court had taken responsibility."

"I see. Thank you for the information. In exchange, do you have a mission for me?" asked Uzu while filing this news on his head for later use.

"Well, my daughter, that lives in Magnolia Town, is turning 22 years old in two weeks. Sadly I will not be able to make it, so I want to deliver her birthday present, if possible." Said Mauro, a little unsure of his request. He had made a deal a week ago with the redhead called Uzu to have a information trading business relationship during the first time that said man entered his shop looking for his services.

"Okay, I will deliver it." And if that, Uzu took a little package that Mauro gave him before getting out of the workshop.

When he entered the bedroom that he had rent upon his arrival, he opened the later after ensuring his privacy. The folded paper had a single line on it:

She is here, until the 30th of next month.

Understanding the message, the now blond, Uzu burned the paper in the fireplace while his transformation reverted to his Kurama persona. Taking his clothes out, he threw himself at the bed to rest a little. He had been in full activity during the last week without stopping or sleeping.

When he arrived to this…world (the whole dimensional travelling concept was taking its time to be accepted by his mind) the first thing that he did was to follow Jiraiya's teachings and create his own spy network. It is incredible that the old pervert taught him something so useful and he could see the benefits know.

With dimensional travelling as his pillow topic, the Sage and ninja fall slept in the first dreamless slumber that he had in weeks.

Uzumaki Naruto, back in his Kurama persona, was walking through one of the less transited streets of the town. He was careful to avoid the roads that were close to the Fairy Tail Guild, to avoid any confrontation. He could henge himself, and it will be more practical, but he didn't felt like it, and, true to himself, he was kind of bore to be undercovered for too much time. Hopefully, soon that would change if he found what he was looking for.

At the moment, he had finished the delivery of Julia Blackmetal, Mauro's daughter, and now was engraving in his memory Magnolia Landscape for future references. Some of his clones were checking and mapping the sewers, while other, from high places, took care of the sideway alleys and the streets that he was avoiding. He was careful to eliminate his clones' presence and smell, since, for all he knew, they were mages with enhanced sense and sensor abilities.

But at the moment, Kurama almost cursed. Coming on the opposite direction was no other than Gazeel Redfox. He recognized him immediately thanks to Metalicana description of the dark dragon slayer. Still, it was curious, because, according to Metalicana, Gazeel wasn't the type to think through anything of any type outside the battle field, and, at the moment, this Gazeel seemed to be lost in thought. Taking a better look as they approached, Kurama noticed that the metal dragon slayer was looking the pendant that he had given Natsu in Metalicana's behalf some days ago. "It seems that the news hit him harder than anticipated." That solved, Kurama decided to continue on without raising an eyebrow in wonder so the metal dragon slayer couldn't recognize him, and the thought that had accomplished his goal when they crossed each other at the side and continued their own way. Sadly, Fate had other plans because Gazeel stepped out of his funk and stop dead in his track, looking back to the stranger that had just passed him.

Kurama knew all these because a clone that he made to tag himself as a warning of incoming danger. The same clone, that kept a close eye on Gazeel, confirmed through the dragon slayer body language, that the mage had recognized him but was unsure on something. It seemed to Kurama that Natsu and his group had described their encounter to their fellow guild mates.

Deciding to ignore him for the moment, Kurama caught an all too familiar smell that guided him towars the outskirts of Magnolia town. When he arrived, there, in front of him, was a small café with a menu at the outside. The only word that he saw on the Menu Board was what he was hopping for: Ramen.

After his order arrived he thanked the powers-that-be for his good fortune, if he had any left- and started to dig on the delicacy that was in front of him. Once again, fate had other plans because at the moment, two persons entered the small café. Two persons that Kurama recognized and wished that he hadn't.

"I swear to you Gray, today I will surpass my Ramen Eating Record. In the name of Fairy Tail, I will succeed!" exclaimed a scarlet redhead woman to his half naked companion.

"Erza, I really doubt that you…" but his words died on his mouth when he recognized one of the clients in the small establishment.

Erza, curious of her friend sudden silence, turned her gaze of the general direction that Gray was looking at. She also gasped when she recognized, some tables away, the man that called himself Kurama that was somehow, unknown to her, eating several bowls of ramen with his mask on and without care in the world. Just one word escaped her lips.

"YOU!" pointing at him and everything.

Slowly, calculating every single of his steps, the masked man named Kurama stood up and started to walk toward the Titania and one of the Ur's disciples. Such a pity. He was enjoying the good ramen.

"Erza Scarlet, Gray Fullbuster; we see each other again." his voice was even, unperturbed, devoided of any emotion. It unnerved them to no end.

Kurama was pondering how he will pull himself out of this tied situation, especially when he was sensing the son of Metalicana on the roof of the building at his back.

Erza was analyzing this opponent. She preferred the civil way, but it was proven that this stranger didn't want to talk civilly so they need to knock some sense on him... quite literally. "Let's see, last time he only showed an incredible speed and the ability to disappear in a yellow flash. We don't know the nature of his magic… Wait! Speed! Yellow flash! Disappearance! I think that I had it figured out. Gray, catch my message!"

A white light covered her body for a second; when the light disappeared Erza's oufit had change. Her hair was a long solo braid falling on her back with a purple ball decoration almost at its end. Her hair also had a hair tie that crossed the front part of her head and the sides letting two thin hair locks dropping at each side of her face. Her top armor was a white blue with yellow markings and covered only her waist. Her shoulders and arms were also covered by the armor, alongside the lower parts of her legs. The shoulders, the top of each arm and the leg guards had spikes and pointy ends. Her fingers were covered by pitch black gloves. The lower part of her body, including her groin, was covered by pieces of armor and mantles that fall at the sides like a battle Chinese cheosang. Completing the impressive battle gi was a lance with a drum like circle with a tribal tattoo and a long pointy edge.

"That's the Lighting Empress Armor! So, that´s this guy ability. Good job Erza, now we can plan accordingly." thought Gray, grinning like a maniac, after all, Ice Magic was really strong against Lighting Magic.

"Her armor changed." thought Kurama. "I hear that these magical amours grant the ability to defend against certain elements. If she changed hers, means that she may have figured out my abilities... or that she thought she did. I need to find out which element is the armor so I can proceed. I know what I can do." As cued, Kurama leap into action.

Pulling shurikens seemly out of nowhere left the fairies thinking that maybe they have been mistaken with their analysis of their opponent and thought that he may be an Ex-Equip user. But nothing said that he wasn't a master of more than one magical art. If was rare to encounter and highly unusual, but it wasn't unheard of.

Kurama began his onslaught with a rain of throwing stars that was blocked by an Ice Make: Shield courtesy of Gray. But it was a feint; using the substitution technique he positioned himself behind the pair ready to strike with a kunai but he was spotted by Erza who, with great flexibility, spun around with her lance spinning in her hand. Naruto noted that the edge of the lance was shinning in a yellow light that was becoming brighter by the second. If he hadn't and idea of what was coming next, then Erza dissipated his doubts.

"SANGO!" Titania yelled, swinging the lance and unleashing a yellow blast of cracking electricity.

Kurama didn't move, because he knew that he couldn't. Gray had frozen his legs with frightening speed. "These kids are good. They have an incredible teamwork and skill. But they are too straight forward." Pondered the blond while the blast was approaching him really fast. "And now I know what type of element they think I'm."

The blast hit his position raising a cloud of vapor thanks to the now melting ice. Both Fairy Tail members thought themselves won before sensing an incoming attack for behind. Gray and Erza tried to spin out of the way with pure reflexes but this time they weren't going to be so lucky, because the attack was coming with frightening speed and...

"Iron Fence Club!" a yell came from above fallowed by the appearance of a metal mesh formed by thick iron bars. The Metal Dragon Slayer, Gazeel Redfox had jumped into action.

Kurama's palms collided with the new metal wall denting it pretty badly before hiding himself out of view.

Wow, if Titania and the gigolo had been touched by that attack many, many bones would have been gone in the best of cases. In the worst... Let´s not think about that... Now, where that blond went?These were Gazeel thoughts while he was helping Erza to stand up and checking if any of them was badly injured. Luckily they weren't.

Kurama, on his part, was trying to decide what to do. "Which are my options? a) I can attack them with a flashy cool looking lighting jutsu before getting out of here. This will let them think that I´m a lighting mage, and thus, giving me the element of surprise when I prove them wrong. In the other hand, future enemies will be prepare for lighting attacks and lighting is my weakest element... s-class techniques aside, of course."

"b) I can use another element which will take the out of guard, also it will disconcerting them about my abilities. This will put them on edge and at the guessing, wearing them out mentally. But doing this I can reveal too much of myself, which can be a problem in the long run."

"c) I just get out of here now before things get out of hand."

After a couple of seconds of deep thinking Kurama made his decision. Getting out o his hiding spot, the blond walked to his usual normal pace until he was in front of the trio. While doing so, the soft summer breeze coming from behind Kurama`s back started to slowly getting speed and strength.

"Mages of Fairy Tail, it had been a pleasant meeting. Sadly, I need to get going."

"Wait! Where is Metalicana? Why she left me?" Even if Gazeel voice was full of anger, Erza could hear also the sadness and desperation in it. Gray could too, for that matter. It wasn't less of heartbreaking than with Wendy.

"Ask Wendy Marvell, she knows the answer." said Kurama in his even voice that was starting to grate in everybody's nerves.

"What do you want with Wendy? Do you want her to restore your arm?" asked Gray. He had been thinking about it over and over again without reaching to a reasonable conclusion. It wasn't power, because this guy was powerful enough. And not only that, Gray's gut was telling him that this man, Kurama, wasn't a power hungry type of guy. Seeing his missing arm, it was logical to conclude that this guy was looking for Wendy's healing magic. It was aN extremely rare magic to be found after all.

"No, that is not my purpose." said Naruto while grabbing his armless shoulder with his reminding hand in an awkwardly way, like he was hugging himself. "I'm a doctor too. I know that I can't restore this that I lost. But I have a debt to pay. That's why I need her by my side."

"I don't understand you!" Yelled Erza. She felt personally protective about Wendy, and she was sure that everybody in the guilt felt the same way. It pissed her of, that this stranger was treating little Wendy like a meaning to an end.

"Don't worry, you don't have to. Sadly, our meeting had to be cut short." said Kurama, His clone had told him that several magical signatures were heading toward their current location and he would bet all the ramen in the world that those were Fairy Tail members.

"That's weird. I can't sense any civilian presence in a 10 meter radius. I can understand that they started to run when started the fight, but any of them had entered in a perfect circle perimeter. Did this guy do something?"This were Gray's thoughts, which were cut by the hit of a powerful gust of wind that came out of nowhere.

"It was pleasure to meet you." "Wind Art: Wind Dragon Blast."Out of nowhere, a wind twister, that looked like a mini tornado with the shape of a dragon, raised from behind Kurama, launching to them at and incredible was too huge, too fast for them to dodge, so Erza reacted without thinking.

"Adamantine Armour!" Yelled the Titania putting her shield in front of her comrades. Nonetheless, the impact of the wind had gained a great momentum translating it to a great impact force.

The clash resulted in the fairies being launched to a nearby wall, going through it. The last thought of the group before passing out was "Isn't he a lighting mage? How can he use such a powerful wind attack?"

It took another minute before a group of members of Fairy Tail arrived to the scene. By then, Kurama had been long gone.

Two days after his encounter with Fairy Tail members, Kurama, now with long silk black hair, yellow eyes and pale skin, with a brown travelling mantle covering his body in a similar fashion than his Uzu persona, and going by the name of Arashi, was entering a town that was being rebuilt since a few years ago. In the entrance of the rebuilding town, that was obviously a great city that had suffered a major disaster, it was a cartel with some words on it: Welcome to Brago.

Arashi, entering the town, went to a specific location in the southern outskirts, were a forest began. The day before, with the help of one of his messenger foxes, he asked for the information of his target to one of his informants in the vicinity.

In his way, he found the statute of a woman. It seems that she was short, had a top jacket and short hair. Arashi stopped for a moment to read the legend in the statue's base: In Ur's memory, who sacrificed her life to defeat the Demon Deliora and saved our lives.

"It is a monument then. Ur. I wish I could meet you. True heroes are difficult to find" And with that fleeting though, the now black haired traveler continued his path making the decision to learn more about the fallen hero.

After few seconds of contemplation, the black haired traveler rejoined his way while thinking of his departing encounter with the Faries days ago. He had used the wind element in the departing technique so he could, not only confuse their assumptions of his abilities, but also to give them the idea that he could use "wind magic" and thus, his request of taking Wendy as an apprentice was reasonable. "I can feel that future encounters with that guild will be at least interesting, if anything."

After reaching what he was looking for, he found a wood cabin, that wasn't too big, in the forest outline border. In a wood bench was a woman. She was tall, with long green hair and pale skin. In front of her were several straight sticks with metal pointy ends lined in the floor. Upon close inspection, Arashi noted that the sticks were arrows.

The woman had and strange designed bow that looked like it was made of metal with some strange markings that Arashi knew were called Runes. The bow itself was straight in both extensions that were forming a "V" shape. The center of the union of both parts was a three quarters of a metal circle with the open side in the front of the bow, indicating the path of the arrows.

Noticing his presence, not that he was hiding it, the woman materialized a red colored arrow out of thin air and aimed toward his general direction ready to shoot it. Arashi noticed that, what he assumed, a magical circle appeared around the arrow's head with some magical inscriptions.

"Who are you, and what do you want perturbing my resting time?" asked the woman with a thick accent.

"I'm called Arashi. My master has a proposition for you, Yule Orugo."

The now named Yule narrowed her eyes at the mention of her name. "Who is your master, how he knows my name and what kind of business he wants with me?"

"He has many names, my master, but at the moments we can call him Kurama. And he wants to know if you want to join our guild. You will find that is quite beneficial for you to do so, because we have an offer for you."

Yule just stared the stranger. It wasn't weird to be sought by other guilds. She herself had been invited to at least ten guilds, including Sabertooth. It was flattering in a way, since it was a testament that her skills and power were recognized. But at the moment she wasn't interested in joining anybody, she had her own goals to achieve.

"And tell me stranger, what is for me out all of these? I have been invited by many but you are the only one to yet make an offer." her voice was sharp and direct.

Arashi, instead of being discourage like she intended, just smiled. "Because we know what you want and we kind of know how to help you to get it."

"And what is that you think that I want?"

"Hiparion's Bow."

Yule was wide eyed and stunned. "How do they know? The only ones that knew about my plans are dead! But this one says that he knows where it isthat Bow while I only have clues. And my gut is telling me that he is not bluffing.""Let's say that I believe you, which guild are you working for?"

"It is called Noveno Elemento. We hope that you join us. We have much to gain, both of us."

"Noveno Elemento? I haven't heard of it."

"I would have we worried with you did. Is not officially formed, yet, but we want you to join our guild and, in exchange, we are going to help you finding to find that Bow and use it to fulfill your desire."

"To eliminate..." Started Yule, not surprised at this point that this stranger knew about her goal.

"... those that destroy your home and family: Grimmoire Heart!" finished Arashi.

Yule, for the first time in the conversation, smiled. She was finding imposible to refuse such offer, and she was impressed since this new guild had done their homework before contacting her. "I have the fealing that joining them will be the best for me at the moment… and I trust in my instincts."

And like this, Noveno Elemento, a guild that will change Fiore, for the better or the worst, was born.

Note:

Sango is the Yoruban (West African) god of thunder.

Noveno Elemento is the Spanish translation for Ninth Element.
