Prelude
I was sitting in the S-class area when I heard the guild door's open. A young girl no older than 10 walked through the door. I don't know what happened to her but she had an eye-patch on one eye and her outfit was a dress that looked like it had been made out of rags. I heard some of the younger mages say "oh great another weird one" and things like that. I was going to yell at them to keep their mouth shut but it seemed like she didn't even hear them.
She took a seat by herself in the one of the corner tables. I was tempted to go and introduce myself but something about her may me stay away. I was really curious though to figure out what type of magic she wielded. Was it dragon slayer magic? If it was what type was it? If not, was it creating magic? Was it celestial magic? Was it reequipping magic? There were so many types of magic that it could be but somehow I new I would find out eventually.
Though I figured it would not be the same as mine. No dragon slayer magic is the same. I am a dragon slayer. My name is Chizu Ten and I am the Heaven Dragon Slayer. My dragon Tengoku disappeared on July 7th X777 and has not been seen since. So far that I know, I am the only dragon slayer in this part of Magnolia but I have a feeling that will soon change. This guild will one day draw the dragon slayers together; myself included.
"Chizu," the master said.
"Oh. Yes master?" I replied snapping me out of my day-dream.
"I have a mission for you. I want you to go to the different guilds and find as many dragon slayers as you can." Master Makarov asked.
"You're kidding right. You actually want me to find others like me?" I retorted.
"Yes. However I only want you to find out their names and write down what guild they are in." He replied.
"May I ask why?" I asked.
"For now, that is all you need to know. I will tell you the reason when you get back from the mission." He replied.
"Something tells me this is a personal request not an actual mission, not that I mind."
"Yes it is a personal request. Will you carry it out Chizu?" He asked me.
"Yes Master Makarov I will carry it out. One question what happens when I get there and there are no dragon slayers and so I leave and I here that one joined that guild. Do I go back and find out their name?" I asked.
"Yes. I want a number as accurate as you can give me on how many there are altogether."
"Very well I will leave as soon as I have packed."
"Good luck Chizu we will be awaiting your return."
With that Master Makarov went back down stairs to the bar. I just sat thinking to myself that this trip could take longer than a month and I would be gone a long time. Kind of like the 100 year mission. I decided to get up and go pack for the trip. As I descended the stairs I looked around at the other mages thinking to myself "I probably won't see these guys for a while" then I felt something wet roll down my face and I realised that I was crying.
"Hey Chizu, why are you crying?" One of the mages asked.
"Oh right. No reason I was just thinking about something that's all. Anyway I am going on a mission and I probably won't be back for a few years so good luck on any future missions." I replied.
"On a mission for a few years! You're not doing that 100 year mission are you?" A different guy asked.
"Yes that is the one I am doing, but don't worry I will finish it in 10." I replied with a hint of guilt in my voice.
"That's a promise then. If you don't come back in 10 years we are sending a search party." Another guy said.
"Fair enough," I said and stuck my hand up in the air with my index finger pointing to the roof and my thumb pointing to the right.
As if everybody had read my mind they all did it as well. Then at the same time we all shouted "for Fairy Tail!"
With that I left the guild and went to the apartment to pack up my stuff. I didn't know how much stuff I would need so I packed everything I owned. When I did so, all of it fit into one suitcase and a backpack. "This is really all I have?" I asked myself. I grabbed everything and went downstairs and found the owner of the apartment that I was renting. I told him "if I am not back in a few years you can take me of the resident list and you can find a new tenant."
After that I walked outside and made my way to the outskirts of Magnolia. I turned around to face the town for one last look at my home and my guild. Then I left Magnolia to go on my long mission of finding other dragon slayers like myself.
