The beginning of a new adventure
It was summer in Magnolia city. The sun was high in the sky and the heat made everyone exhausted. Lucy was standing in front of the request board of the magic guild Fairy Tail. Her eyes wandering through all the different requests but nothing seemed to catch her interest. Natsu and Happy were standing at the bar watching her from the distance.
"Na, na, na… what are you doing Natsu? Stalking our little Lucy? How rude of you!" Mira said suddenly from behind the bar. The white haired girl gave the Fire-Dragon Slayer a playful look.
"Nah…" he said bored and laid his head down on the bar table. Mira raised her eyebrows and looked at Happy, the blue, talking cat and Natsu's best friend.
"He is just bored. Lucy is kind of strange in the last time… She hasn't picked a single mission for two weeks now and when we ask her to take one with us she only says something like 'nah…' and turns away." Said the blue cat and pointed to Lucy who just turned around, walked to the closest table and sat down, her head on her hands. "See?" said Happy and looked back to Mira.
"Hmm…" The white haired girl puts down the jar she was just cleaning. "Have you asked what's wrong with her?"
"Of course we did…" answered Natsu and sat back up. "But she says she doesn't know it herself. She is just not in the mood… or something like that."
He looked at the blond girl for a moment and turned back to Mira. "Can you do something?"
"I'll try!" she said and left the bar. Natsu and Happy followed her after a moment and the three went over to Lucy's table. "Hey Lucy!" said the white haired girl happily as always.
"Hey Mira…" answered the Stellar Spirit Mage with a tired voice and looked at her for a moment.
"You know, Natsu and Happy are worried about you, is something wrong? You know you can tell me everything." Said Mira and leaned over to Lucy. "Everything…" she whispered playful and blinked seductive. Lucy went a little red.
"It's nothing like that…" she said and pushed Mira back. She sighted and let her eyes wander through the guild hall. "I don't know…" she sayed after a moment while she watched the other guild members. Everything was really quiet, which was a rare sight at Fairy Tail. In one corner of the guild hall, Cana, Lisanna and the Raijinshuu were chatting with Laxus. A few tables to the side, Makao and Wabaka were talking about the old days while Romeo was doing his homework. On the other side she saw Gajeel sleeping while Lily and Levy were chatting next to him. Normally Lucy loved these calm moments in the guild but right now she really whished it back to the loud and noisy place it normally was.
With Natsu picking up fights with everyone and getting smashed by Erza. With Juvia trying her luck on Gray, who one again lost his clothing somewhere in the guild. With little Asuka playing around in the guildhall, worrying her parents Alzack and Bisca to death and everything. But this was not the case today.
"I just…" she continued but stopped as she actually didn't know what she wanted to say in first place. Instead she did an undefined hand gesture but Mira seemed to understand what she wanted to say. Luckily the door to the guild went open and Erza entered the hall. Mira started to smile and looked at Natsu. She stood up and raised her voice.
"What?!" she called and everyone's eyes wandered to their table. Natsu looked back at her confused. "Natsu, Natsu. How could you? I really didn't think you were that kind of guy!" she said reproachful.
"What? I didn't do anything!" Natsu said shocked and Happy immediately supported him and said his casual "Aye!" Lucy looked at Mira confused but she only smiled and looked behind Natsu.
"You did…what?" said a sharp voice from behind him which made Natsu shiver. He turned around. Behind him stood Erza. The red haired mage had put on her Armor and looked down on the pink haired mage with an evil look in her eyes.
"I swear I did nothing!" said Natsu and one could hear the panic in his voice. In a swift movement Mira held her fingers into Lucy's glass of water, pulled them out and splashed a few drops on Lucy's face.
"Look!" said Mira and pointed to Lucy. Erza looked at her and saw the water drops on her face, mistaking them for tears. The look in her eyes became cold as ice.
"You…" she said, her voice sharp as a blade. Natsu's eyes widened as she lung out to hit him in his face. Natsu immediately dodged her attack and ran past her to the door but she chased him. Mira began to laugh as he jumped over a few tables and the rest of the guild joined in.
"Stay where you are!" Erza called and summoned a sword. A swift swing of her sword split the table Natsu stood on just a second ago in half and made him scream like a little girl. He looked over his shoulder to check how far she was away, just to run into somebody and fall to the ground.
"What the?!..." the other person said. Natsu shook his head and opened his eyes. In front of him Gray was sitting on the ground, holding his head.
The Ice Mage opened his eyes and looked at Natsu.
"Idiot! Why did you run into me? Snarled Natsu at the him, totally forgetting about Erza who was just chasing after him
"Me?" he responded as angry as Natsu. "You were the one who ran into me!" he said and the two stood up, staring at each other angrily but before they could actually pick a fight Erza reached them.
"You..." she called and the two Mages turned towards her.
"Oh shit...!" the two mages called with expressions of absolute fear on their faces. A second later Erza rammed into them and the whole guild began to laugh, Lucy as well. As Erza started beating up the two unfortunate mages the blond girl turned towards Mira who also watched them smiling. As she noticed Lucy's look she smiled at her "No problem." She said and went back to work with a twinkle in her eye.
A few minutes later Erza was done with the two and dragged them in front of Lucy. She let go of them and watched them angrily. "Apologize…!" she said with a sharp voice.
"I-I-I am v-very sorry..." the two said at the same time and made the whole guild burst out in laughter. Erza looked at Lucy confused as she did not understand what was going on.
"Don't mind." Lucy said to her. "But, thank you!" She stood up and hugged a surprised Erza while the boys stood up, silently cursing the red haired Mage. They sat down at the table and Mira gave them something to drink, together with a silent apology. As Lucy explained Erza what happened she became red like her hair and started apologizing to the two boys. Sometime later Levy, Gajeel and Lily joined them at the table.
There was a constant coming and going in the guild now and a few hours later the door opened once again and Master Makarov entered the guild.
"Oh, you are back already Master?" Mira said surprised as she saw him. "What did the Council want from you this time? She asked him.
"They had a request which we shall take care of." He answered and looked around. His eyes stopped at the small group of Erza, Natsu and the others. "Perfect! You are all already here." He said and went over to them, sitting down at their table with clasped fingers.
"The Council want us to investigate in a specific matter. Two weeks ago an archeological party found something inside an old temple in the mountains near Crocus. They did not come far enough to see what it is but the amount of magical power which is emitted from there is so vast that they consider is a serious threat to the civilians at Crocus. They want you to go there to find the source of the magical power and to destroy it if needed" He said calm and looked at the mages.
"We won't disappoint you, master!" say Erza serious and looked at the others. "Yeah, we got this!" agreed Gray smiling and the other nodded as well.
"Good." Said Makarov relieved. "I wish you the best of luck. Let's hope you won't need it!"
"Thank you!" said Erza and the mage stood up. Natsu stretched and grinned all over his face. "Finally something to do again!" he said and looked to the others. They nodded and together they headed for the guilds entrance and into a new adventure.
