Chapter 1: Intro to Psyia
Psyia gazed at the tree; she was bored, very bored. Despite the fact that she had just killed about seven demons she was bored. She had nothing to do.
"I suppose I could go annoy Erza." She said aloud.
"Sure why not?" Shijishi asked. He was sitting there in his dark blue suit and fedora. His black hair spiked out from underneath. "It's not like she'll be on a job or anything."
"You think she'll mind?" Psyia asked.
"Nah she won't." Shijishi said, blue eyes sparkling. Psyia got to her feet and brushed off the dirt. Her black jeans were caked in demon blood, as was her black top. But her black overcoat had remained in pristine condition. Not a speck of blood.
"I'm gonna go and find her." She said. "Disappear for a bit, no one knows about you so let's keep it that way." Shijishi grinned and vanished. Psyia concentrated on Erza's magical marker. Scarlett, just like her hair. "Why are you on a train?" Psyia muttered to herself. She clicked her fingers and she too vanished.
Now she was sitting behind Erza. Psyia frowned. Gray and Natsu were there. So was Happy and a blonde girl. Lucy Heartphilia. Layla's daughter, that was a long time ago. Natsu was knocked out. Clearly Erza's doing. Poor kid didn't handle transport well.
"...lullaby." Erza said or finished if you prefer. Psyia froze. She gripped the chair so tight her knuckles turned white.
"That thing that guild mentioned." Gray said. Psyia paused herself and began to listen again. Still she could only catch snippets.
"Eisenwald." Erza said at some point. "Three days." At another. Psyia tried to control her breathing. 'Calm it down.' She thought. 'You can deal with this.' Psyia thought for a moment. 'Alright so lullaby is something I don't want released so I need to go and stop the dude who is trying to unseal it. I mean the seal on that thing is powerful.' Psyia frowned and then face palmed. 'Four hundred years ago you dumbass.' She mentally swore in about five different languages. Psyia fizzed and teleported herself off the train.
"Shijishi!" She snapped when she appeared in an old ruined town.
"What?" He asked. "You said I could go off for a bit." He looked like he'd been in a fun place too, his shirt was half open and he wore khaki shorts.
"That was before I found out someone is trying to break the seal on lullaby." Psyia explained. Shijishi narrowed his eyes.
"You sure?" He asked finally.
"Yes." Psyia said. "I would never come back to this place otherwise." She was walking at a fast pace then running. Shijishi casually floated alongside her.
"So we have to deal with a dispeller?" He asked.
"Hopefully." Psyia said darkly. "Or else that means they got it." She kicked open an old wooden door. She ran through to what would have been a kitchen and yanked up the cellar door. Psyia practically fell through the hole. She landed on her feet thankfully. Shijishi quickly followed in his own floaty way. He took one look at the shattered glass and sighed.
"Correction." Shijishi said. "They got it."
