In a magic shop in Hargeon a girl with cat ears was looking at the various magic items in the shop. The shopkeeper of the was haggling with the girl as they browsed the wares.
"So there aren't that many objects you're selling... and I was hoping for some quality items." the girl sighed and the Shopkeeper took a book into his hands.
"Even if we don't sell that many items, we still have some of the most top quality goods from around, take this color magic for example. Its very popular with people nowadays especially the ladies." the shopkeeper danced around showcasing the book and the person with cat ears just scoffed.
"Oh, don't waste my time. I have Transformation magic, what good will changing the colors of my clothes do when I can just change myself. "
"Fine get out, you're not welcomed into my shop with that attitude of yours" the shopkeeper growled and the girl was thrown out the shop.
Standing up and moved her hands to brush off the dust and dirt. the girl huffed and she stomped her foot on the ground. "That shopkeeper is going to lose customers with an attitude like that" the pouted.
This particular girl in question was a mage known as Carla. She is an Exceed or a race of cats that can talk and fly. Currently she was transformed using her Transformation magic to look human, but she still retained her cat ears and tail.
"Cheering? Honestly what is going on around here?" Carla pondered as the sound of such noise was permeating throughout the surroundings. Following the noise to its source she managed to catch snippets of conversations that the people were yelling.
"A famous wizard known as Aria Bard has decided to visit the town." a person said and Carla went toward the source, skeptical since she couldn't recall any famous wizard named Aria Bard.
Upon entering the encirclement Carla felt her heart and mind captivated by the man before her. The glasses with only a single frame, the white jacket and fur at the top. he bald and shiny head. She pushed forward to inquire how a godly man such as him had appeared only today in her life.
However the sounds of a person shouting as they tried to push their way in broke her from the spell as she made eye contact with a man. A tall lanky man with black hair and a ridiculous horse costume on his body.
"You are not the person I am looking for. I'll take my leave now." the man dashed away."
The crowd was not pleased by the sudden intrusion and rude behavior showcased to the idol of the crowd so they charged forward and dragged the person back.
"Show some respect to Aria Bard."
"He is a famous wizard, a nobody like you could never measure up to him."
the crowd kept slandering the man before them.
"I am very sorry to offend you but you are simply not the person I am looking for. I don't want to cause any more trouble." the man cried out and the person was booted before Carla could even get a chance to speak to him.
"Ah, I must go, there is a party at the docks and of course I recommend you all come." Aria Bard gave a smile and he departed.
The figure on the ground was rubbing his head when a figure came up. "Sagi you've had it rough, lets go find your friend in another city. It looks like he isn't here." the newcomer
"Thanks for the help Warren, guess its not the Celestial Spirit King moshi moshi." A shadow encompassed both of them and they both turned to see the site of a cat girl standing before them.
"Aria Bard seems like a real piece of work, thanks for saving me there."
The trio headed toward a cafe and the duo in front of Carla started to eat. Warren just kept stuffing his face as if he hadn't seen food in months. Scarfing it down to no end sending food everywhere. On the other hand Sagittarius was much more refined. Taking small bites and wiping his mouth occasionally, the image of a refined man.
"The man was using an illegal charm spell, despite my looks I am a mage but thanks for helping me out."
"No problem, we thank you for the food moshi moshi" Sagittarius stated after he swallowed his food.
"People like Aria Bard who resorts to such means to woo girls doesn't have any good intentions, I hope to join a guild but all the famous ones are hard to be accepted into." Carla pondered and the duo in front of her looked at each other. "Tahl oo muk?" Warren spouted from his food-filled mouth and Sagittarius nodded his head.
"Anyway you gentlemen said you were looking for someone?" Carla inquired and she gazed at the two before her.
"Yeah we're looking for a tall buff guy called the Celestial Spirit King." Warren exclaimed and Carla's face contorted to showcase her confusion.
"Is that a title? Is he spirit mage?" Carla asked and Sagittarius shook his head. "No we mean the real deal. The one who resides in the Spirit Dimension moshi moshi."
"Then why are you looking for him in a human town? If anything find a spirit mage who can make a gate." Carla exclaimed with disbelief. "Honestly what are the two of you even doing. Stop wasting time."
Leaving some money on the table Carla turned to leave, she was stopped shortly by the teary outburst from the duo behind her but scoffing at their childish behavior she left them to eat.
Sitting in the park and looking at Wizard Weekly Volume 7 she viewed the news of Fairy Tail as they caused more havoc across the land. " A great guild such as Fairy tail wouldn't hire nobodies like me, I guess only great wizards are accepted into the guild" Carla cast her gaze away before she flipped through the magazine again to land on the gravure photos.
"Coco huh, the cute fairy of Fairy tail." Sure the girl was petite, almost her size which made Carla's expression darken. "If I joined them would I become like this? A Fairy model for the magazine?"
Carla shook her head behind her Aria Bard appeared "Ah Fairy Tail huh?"
"I advise you back away you creep, you're Charm spell no longer works on me anymore." Carla growled and Aria Bard claps his hands. "Took you for a wizard at first glance, just come to the party tonight."
"As if I'd follow a known creep." Carla scoffed and she stomped away only for the voice behind her to say something that made her stop in her tracks.
"Ah but I'm in Fairy Tail you know, you know of Aria Bard of Fairy Tail right?"
"I have heard of it" Carla stuttered and she turned around.
"I can put in a good word to the master if you keep quiet of the charm spell, the yacht is actually on the way to Fairy Tail's place consider it a free ride." Aria Bard left with a wave and Carla slumped a bit. "I hate that man with a passion, but if he can get me into Fairy Tail then I'll have to tolerate him."
Night time fell upon the town and Carla transformed herself to a more formal dress to attend the party. Flying over she landed with ease and gazed at the yacht before her.
She went up the plank to find a luxurious setting of ballroom tables and lights. Many ladies were walking around in gowns and dresses and Carla felt glad she took the time to put on something formal.
Aria Bard raised a glass and wandered over with a grin, "Welcome, ready to set off for Fairy Tail?"
"Let us go" Carla nodded and after a few more people came on the ship started to set sail.
Carla was guided to a private room and was offered a glass of wine by Aria Bard.
Reluctantly she took a sip and she instantly knocked aside the rest of the glass.
"Sedatives?" Carla growled and Aria Bard laughs. "Ah as expected of a wizard, but never fear we are headed toward Bosco."
"What about Fairy Tail?"
"This is a slave ship, illegal business why should the guild know how I get my money?"
Carla attempted to dash forward to kick the guy before her but her arms were held by two big pirates.
"What is the meaning of this?"
"You are merchandise, stop resisting, man it would have been easier if you were knocked out like the rest of them.
Carla growled but the ship lurched. An arrow zoomed past the room and kept on puncturing the walls.
"Huh?" Aria Bard exclaimed and the ship lurched again this time it was swiftly being pulled toward the shores.
"Cut the ropes you imbeciles" Aria Bard exclaimed but Carla took their unstable stances and knocked them over with two kicks. She activated her wings and she flew she curled herself to make her figure small enough to fit the large hole in the ship and flew into the skies.
From the shore was a large rope that was tugging the boat back to shore. On the beach. A lone man wielding a bow.
"Sagittarius thanks for the help."
"I have business with that man, I didn't do this with the intention of saving you moshi moshi."
"Then I am in your debt." Carla said and the boat toppled onto the shore.
"Listen here Aria Bard, As a member of Fairy Tail I can't allow you use slander our guild's name" Sagittarius exclaimed , on his hand was the markings and in sigma for the famous guild and Carla's mouth fell in shock.
"Big Boss Boze, I think this guy is the real deal, that marking."
"Idiot don't call me that."
"Boze of Prominance, famous for using his lullabies to commit crimes and exiled from his guild many years ago." Warren exclaimed as he showed up.
"You are running late my friend moshi moshi."
"I'm not half horse you know." Warren panted and he collapsed on the ground.
In the middle of their conversation Boze raised his hands. "Howling" and a swarm of notes flew forward.
"Sound magic is useless against something that travels beyond the speed of sound." Notching an arrow Sagittarius fired and the arrow punctured the spell, as well as blowing away many people.
"Fairy Tail... Fairy Tail... THIS is going to far!" Carla exclaimed as the destruction from Sagittarius's arrows started to wreck the port.
The guards started to show up so Sagitarrius and Warren grabbed Carla and ran.
"Why am I being dragged along you two." Carla complained
"My lady, didn't you want to join our esteemed guild moshi moshi?" Sagittarius asked and Carla stayed silent.
The trio then proceeded to run away from the guards.
