anyways Fairytail isn't mine and enjoy!
"well then you better give it to me." A voice suddenly sounded from the back of the guild. The master had taken place on top of the bar, right next to Lucy without her even noticing.
All eyes turned to the master, and for once he looked all business. Leon made his way over and handed the envelope to him. The moment the paper touched the hands of Macarov, a glyph appeared above the paper, a shining yellow figure appeared, surrounded with tiny runes. Levy and Lucy, sitting closest to master were the only ones who could make out the figure besides Leon and Makarov. At first Lucy thought it was the Fairytail logo, but when she looked longer she realized it wasn't. Although it was a side view of some sort of animal, the legs were stretched backwards instead of forwards, and its tail was also more horizontally placed. But the most obvious difference was the fact that the wings were a lot bigger. "A bird?" Levy whispered next to Lucy. Unfortunately for Levy who had started to read the runes around the figure it disappeared as suddenly as it at appeared.
Lucy was still awed, looking at the empty air were the figure used to be. "correct." A tinkling light voice said next to her ear, causing her to jump a foot into the air. "It is a phoenix actually" Lucy looked at her other side to see that Mavis had appeared between her and master Macarov. "First master did you have to scare me like that?" Lucy asked in exasperation. But Mavis only looked at her innocently. Lucy shook her head. "Never mind." Meanwhile Leon looked at Lucy as if she had lost her mind. "First, what do you mean phoenix?" Macarov said before Leon could say anything about it. Was master macarov insane to? "Well I used to have a friend, and we used this discussion see? Which question is more intriguing, does a fairy have a tail or is a phoenix made of fire, we never really agreed in the end." Mavis explained cheerfully. Most of the Fairytail members sweat dropped at that but Mavis continued as if nothing was weird about what she said.
Leon was really freaked by the current silence. Why was everyone looking at an empty space? He cast a look at Shelly and Jura, who had accompanied him on this mission, but they looked just as baffled as he was. Suddenly the tiny master spoke up again. "So I better read this don't I?"he seemed to get an answer because he nodded at the empty space and proceeded to opening the envelope. Out came 3 pieces of paper, one that looked like a job request, and two that looked like letters. Macarov proceeded to read them quietly. And for a while everyone was silent. Leon decided he had enough of this weirdness, but then again maybe there was someone invisible at the place everyone was staring at just a second ago. So he took a few steps ahead and poked the place.
As Macarov was reading the letter, Mavis was explaining the importance of finding out if a fairy has a tail or not to Levy. "It's obvious fairy's should have tails, I mean who cares if a phoenix is made of fire, who cares about some unrealistic myth about a creature that can't die any…" Mavis was cut short as a hand went right through her stomach. She looked up to see a white haired mage looking straight through her. "Hey now, that not really" she began but then she saw his lamia scale mark. "O I see could someone tell him it's not nice to put your hand through someone?" Al members of Fairytail released a breath they did not know they were holding. Luckily Macao recovered rather fast. He put a hand on Leon's shoulder. "I know this looks weird to you, but it's not really something we can explain to you, Fairytail members only you see?" Leon looked around him and saw that most Fairytail members were looking at him with understanding in their eyes.
By that time Macarov had finished reading the contents of both letters and looked at the request. "Natsu, Lucy, Erza, Gray, Wendy come here for a sec." all heads turned to team Natsu, and Lucy could already see her jewels disappearing, what had they destroyed this time that she would have to give up her rent money to pay for the damages. And from the looks in the eyes of the others, they were thinking similar things.
There was one other person in het guild right now who wasn't happy with the way thing were going. Charle had been sitting with Wendy, discussing ways to keep Natsu from destroying too much on their upcoming mission, when suddenly she didn´t see the room anymore. Sure, she was vaguely aware that Wendy stood up and went with Team Natsu and master Macarov to his personal office, but her attention was on the horrific images playing out before her. Why again? She had dreamed of these images for the past two weeks. What was she missing that the same vision kept coming back? When the vision cleared she realized Wendy was gone and she quickly went to follow them.
Leon was still a little taken aback by this thing that apparently could only be seen if one had a Fairytail mark. He was taken out of his trance as he realized someone was speaking to him. "…something to drink?" Leon stared at the white haired girl before he realized it had been a question. "uhh sure, something cold please" he answered looking around to see Fairytail had returned to its usual atmosphere. "It sure is lively here isn't?" Jura asked as he took place beside him. "Well they have weird way of showing it but that it also, ai!" Shelly answered, taking place on the other side of Leon. Leon looked around and smiled. "yeah but isn't it better this way? The way they were when team tenrou was missing didn't fit them." Jura nodded at Lisanna who gave him his drink. "you're right, this is much better." Leon absentmindedly took a drink was shocked to find it was a slush puppy. He looked at Lisanna. "how did you?" Lisanna just smiled. "well since you are Gray's co-apprentice, I figured cold means really cold." She smiled, and Leon sweat dropped at his own predictability.
When Charle opened the door, she heard Erza speaking. "Are you sure we can trust this master?" Charle quietly closed the door behind her and went to sit beside Wendy. "well to be honest there is only one way to find out." Macarov said. "I mean this person seems to really be in danger." The discussion went on, Wendy decided to just listen and observe, after a while she noticed that Charle hadn't moved for a while. "charle?" she asked but there was no reaction from the exceed. Wendy did however get the attention of her teammates. "What's wrong wendy" Natsu asked as Happy flew over to Charle and shook her a little. "Charle? Wake up!" But the little blue cat didn't get any reaction. As everyone gathered around her and discussed what to do now. In the end Macarov came to a conclusion. "I'm not sure what is going on but if this is giving Charle such strong visions, maybe we shouldn't do it." The moment Macarov had finished speaking, Charle opened her eyes, but instead of her normal eyes only white orbs could be seen. Everyone was dead silent for a few seconds.
And then Charle screamed.
now don't hate me, i have this rather annoying habit of ending every chapter with a cliffhanger, which i didn't do with the prologue but still...i try to supress it as much as possible but this just had so be this way.
i hope you enjoyed it!
