Mage Hand

A young boy entered the Fairy Tail Guild hall. He looked to be around six years of age. He had longish pink spiky hair which was constantly getting in the way of his deep blue eyes. He had a red Fairy Tail symbol marking his left shoulder. As he made his way to the counter he had the look of someone who had lost their best friend.

"Good morning, Kai. Can I get you something?", Mirajane Strauss asked him a big smile on her face.

"I'll just have some ice water.", he said despondently.

Mira smiled to herself. The poor boy got like this every time Natsu and Gray went away on a mission without him.

"They'll be back before you know it, sweetie."

Mira was a very nice lady and Kai liked her a lot but today he wasn't in the mood to be cheered up. Not only had his parents abandoned him to go on yet another mission this time they had left him with Him. He did not like Him at all and the more He realized that Kai did not like Him the more time He tried to spend with Kai. It had taken him half the morning to get away.

"Why won't they take me with them? I can be of help."

"Just give them some time, they still haven't gotten over how close they came to losing you. It scared them."

"I'm a demi-god for Mavis sake. I'm more powerful than the two of them put together.", he grumbled.

"That reminds me, you received a package in today's post." Mirajane grabbed a large envelope from behind the bar and handed it over to the boy.

"I got a package? Who outside of Fairy Tail and the Slayers even knows I exist?"

Mira shrugged. "It says it's from Alvarez."

Kai had never even heard of Alvarez. He started to get a little excited in spite of himself. He had gotten presents from his parents and their friends but never a package in the post. He looked at the address label carefully.

To: Kai Dragneel

c/o Fairy Tail Guild Hall

Magnolia, Fiore

The package did not have a return address but it was postmarked Alvarez. He wasn't sure if he should open it without his parents. He briefly wondered what his parents would do in this situation. His father, Natsu, would probably have already ripped the package open and complained loudly when it wasn't food. His dad, Gray, would probably look at it for a while and give it to Fried or Levy to examine before opening it. Kai, well Kai was more like Natsu than Gray but he could proudly say that he at least thought about Fried and Levy before he ripped it open. Out of the package came a book and a note. He looked at the book with interest. It was called Dungeons and Dragons Player's Handbook Core Rulebook I. Kai was very excited, he loved dragons and games so at first glance this seemed awesome. He hoped it had a good story that his parents could read him when they got home.

He decided to look at the note before opening the book and as he began reading Mira approached, wanting to make sure that there was nothing dangerous about the book before he opened it. This was Fairy Tail after all, they attracted danger like flowers attracted bees. She skimmed through its contents and quickly put it back down in front of the boy.

The note read as follows:

Dearest Kai,

Last time I saw you I noticed you were having trouble using your godly magic. Soon after I encountered someone with the knowledge you need and enticed them to write this book for you. It has been enchanted. Only you can read its true contents. To everyone else it will look like instructions to play an overly complicated game. They should quickly lose interest after the first chapter or two. Chapter 11 Sorcerer/Wizard Spells has the information you need. The book will continue adding spells as you are capable of casting them. The more you practice the more spells you will be able to access. I hope this helps.

With Love,

The Spriggan

Kai folded the note and put it inside of the book. He grabbed his water and his book and went to a table in the back of the guild where he would not be disturbed. He carefully climbed on one of the benches and placed the book on the table. He looked around to make sure no one was paying attention to him and he opened the book to Chapter 11.

The words Mage Hand appeared on the page. Kai looked at the words in surprise. 'What the heck does that do?'

As if in answer to his question additional words appeared on the page.

Channel power to your index finger. Say the words Mage Hand while pointing to any light object (less than 5 pounds). Object can be up to 25 feet away from you. Lift it and move it from a distance as far as 15 feet in any direction. The spell will end if you exceed that distance.

Seemed simple enough. Kai closed the book and whispered "Mage Hand" while pointing at the book. The book began to move slightly. Kai focused on channeling his will through his finger and lifted the book off the table and held it in the air in front of him. He moved the book to the table next to his and let it land softly. Then he lifted it again and brought it back. That had been easy.

He got up from the table and walked around looking for something more interesting to try it on. Even though it wasn't even noon yet Cana was already there drinking from a tankard. She was talking to Mira and Kai thought of a perfect use for his new spell. He sat at a table far back enough that Cana wouldn't see him but within the range of the spell.

He whispered "Mage Hand" while pointing at Cana's tankard and lifted it in the air high above Cana's head and waited patiently. The card mage tried to grab her drink while talking to Mira and closed her fingers around empty air. Puzzled, she looked down at the bar in front of her to find her drink missing.

She shook her head and ordered another drink. Kai suppressed his giggles and waited for the card mage to start talking to Mira again. Soon enough he got his chance and using his other index finger he once again whispered "Mage Hand" and lifted her new drink in the air to join the first one. He waited.

Cana went to grab her drink and when she once again couldn't find it began to get angry. She quickly looked around the guild to see who could be playing a trick on her not noticing the tankards levitating above her. Kai tried to look uninterested when her gaze landed thoughtfully on him. He wished his father was here, he was pretty sure he would think this was hilarious. He concentrated on the two objects, moving them around while keeping the contents from spilling.

"Kai Dragneel, where have you been? I have been looking everywhere for you.", came an annoyed male voice right behind him.

Kai was so startled to have Him show up behind him that he lost his focus on the tankards and managed to spill the entire contents of both tankards on Cana. She was drenched in beer and Kai started giggling at how funny she looked. Big mistake! As soon as he saw the rage on her face he ran out of the guild as quickly as his little legs could take him, Cana giving full chase.

"Kai Dragneel Fullbuster, you little monster! Get your butt back here!", Cana screamed right behind him. Kai laughed holding the book against him as he turned into a dragon and flew into the sky leaving Cana shaking her fists at him. "Just wait until your father comes back!"

Kai didn't know who this Spriggan was but he already loved this book.
