"Mirajane! I'm leaving!

"So soon? You just got back!"

"I'm saving up for that new armor that's at the weapon shop. I'm leaving now! Bye!"

The knight hurried to the guild doors to get to her next mission. She didn't even get a proper chance to look at her mission requirements. Realizing this, Erza sat leaned on the fence outside of the guild.

S class mission

Client: Monsieur Anonymous

This request is private and cannot be explained. Please come to the address below.

1701 Gnome's Forest Creek, Magnolia, Fiore

Reward: 150 million jewels

Monsieur Anonymous? Erza had no idea who he was, but the reward he was offering was just enough for her to buy the expensive armor. Sighing, she made her way to the Gnome Forest at the edge of Magnolia. She couldn't imagine anyone living here. It was dark and trees had no leaves, for they were burnt up and ashen. She kept walking down the trampled path that she discovered. The sun was setting. It wouldn't be a good idea to linger in this forest after dark.

Crack.

"Who's there!?" Erza saw that it was her that stepped on a broken twig. Looking around cautiously, she requipped Benizakura into her hands. This forest was making her hair stand on edge.

"It must be the magic in the forest, but I sense some kind of dark magic"

After ten more minutes of walking, she finally could see a clearing up ahead. A big building.

"Who would place a big building like this in the middle of a forest?"

Finally reaching the end of the path, she saw her destination, a big worn out mansion. Suddenly Erza felt a chill up her spine.

"Welcome, guild wizard. Master has asked me to lead you up to his office. You are here because of the request, am I correct?"

A hunching cloaked figure stood behind her holding a lantern. She tried to sense any sort of power coming from him, but strangely she didn't feel anything.

" Yes. I have formally accepted this mission"

"Very well then, follow me."

She followed the figure through the door which creaked when it opened. The mansion reeked of rotting wood and she found it suffocating. Down the long hallway, was the red carpeted stairs. The person (she assumed it was a person) motioned for her to come up the stairs. Creaking her way upstairs, she saw what looked like claw marks on the walls and dark sticky liquid clinging and dripping from the walls.

"Turn left, guild wizard. This is how far I will be taking you. The master's office is at the end of the hall."

Nodding to her escort, she made her way down the halls. Boom. The loud pitter patter of the rain on the windows echoed through the hallway. Erza momentarily forgot about the eeriness of the house and worried about her wagon load of supplies and food.

Finally, she reached the end of the hallway and found herself facing a door. She knocked lightly. Knock knock.

A deep voice ensued. "Come in"

Opening the creaking door, she walked her way in. Upon her arrival, she noticed the desk wooden desk with a chair holding the weight of a man. Suddenly, the chair turned around to reveal a man with a scar running vertically down his right eye. Nonetheless he looked esteemed and professional despite his face. Erza sensed something off about him. His scar? Or maybe his smirk that seemed to be glued to his face. Or his laugh like he knew something she didn't.

" Welcome. I've been expecting you... Fairy Tail"
