"What?" Natsu asked, jerking back.
I saw the opportunity, "Yeah, your father disappeared on July 7 year 777, right? Mine did too!"
"But, who took you in after he left?" Natsu asked, taken aback.
"I don't know, he never told me his name. But he was a black haired dude with a white and black robe." I said recalling the man.
"Do you know where your father went?" Natsu asked, intrigued.
"No, I joined this guild hoping I'd find you and you'd know what happened," I said frowning.
"Well, we better get going then," Wren muttered, turning away and sighing.
"We have a better chance of finding him this way, Wren!" I said, looking up. "Go play with Happy or something!" Wren sighed, jumped off my head and padded slowly toward Happy.
Suddenly, a kid's voice was heard in the guild. Natsu and I turned around to look at who it was.
"Sir, please! My dad said he was only going to take a few days but it's already been a week! Why won't you go look for him?" The kid whined, crying a little.
"Your dad is a wizard, and he can take care of himself. Now beat it!" Makarov said firmly. The kid got really angry and started crying harder.
"I hate you!" The kid yelled and punched Makarov in the face, running out of the guild. Natsu slammed the request he had taken into the board and marched out of the guild. Lucy, at the bar, asked Mira Jane as to why Natsu was so angry. I didn't stay long enough to hear what I already knew, I headed toward the door and exited the guild, watching Natsu walk after the kid. I smiled a bit, Natsu was a good person. I looked up, it was about 3 PM. I walked down the street, scanning for a clothing shop as I was still wet and smelled of beer.
I did manage to find a store, and bought some clothes. At first, the man running the store was a little skeptical of the fact that I was wet because I had been drenched in beer, but when I had told him I was from Fairy Tail and showed him my mark, he smiled and understood.
Wren was sleeping on the couch, snoring away. I had just taken a bath, and I wrapped a towel on my waist, leaving the dirty clothes in the lacrima powered washing machine. I rummaged through the backpack I had bought from my previous job and found what I was looking for. It was the clothing I had bought. I entered the bathroom and put the clothes on, exiting and then laying down on the bed, pulling out a book and reading it until I realized it was about dinner time. I put on the black sandals and headed out into the main guild room, shaking my head and messing up my hair In an attempt to get it dry. I sat down at a table with a blue haired short girl, a lean orange haired man and another man with brown hair. We talked a bit and I learned the girls name was Levi, and the men are Jet and Droy. They bought me a plate of food, told me it was for a new friendship that had just started. I gratefully accepted and wolfed it down, thanked them, and talked to them for a bit more, learning their magic and strengths. After a while I got up and returned to my room, laying down on my bed and reading a book until I got tired, then I closed my eyes and got in the covers.
I looked at the mirror and clear bright blue surprised eyes stared back at me. I smiled and brushed my teeth, making them ever so whiter than the already pearly white that they were. I decided I would take a job today, maybe go look around for a job. I slipped on the black short sleeved shirt I had bought yesterday and strapped my sandals to my feet. I grabbed my brown trench coat and backpack, slinging the backpack over my shoulder and putting the coat on, grabbing my black fedora and latching it onto the back of the backpack. I head over to the request board and look. Wren points out a job. That job pays 400,000 jewel, and is only an escort mission that should take a day, then I could head back home within a day. I take the job.
"Ugh…" I groan as Wren pulls me off the train as it starts, nearly sending me on another trip of extreme horror and discomfort. Wren half drags me down the stairs and I manage to walk by myself after a while back up the street to the guild. I enter the guild and sit down, resting while Natsu and Gray throw insults at each other.
"I have bad news!" Loki yells, bursting through the door. "Erza's coming!" The guild shivers and people scream and yell, "I don't want to die!" Even I get a cold shiver down my back, though I have done nothing to deserve whatever punishment the terrible Erza may give out. The footsteps of Erza rang throughout the guild as she neared, and I became nervous, sweat going down my forehead. I quickly drank the water I had been given and even Wren, who was mostly apathetic started to look a bit nervous. She comes into view and I admit she's pretty, especially with her red hair.
"Im back. Where's Master Makarov?" Erza asks as she sets down the horn she had been holding. And that horn is gigantic, it is at least three times my size. The horn creates a dust cloud as it she puts it down and a few people start to shake.
"Welcome back Erza. Master Makarov is at a guild meeting currently!" Mira says cheerfully, and I guess she's the only one who can speak to Erza like that without getting pummeled.
Erza looked around the room with an icy gaze, "I heard what happened on Mt. Hakabay. Now listen! While I was on the road I heard people saying some bad things about Fairy Tail. Word is, you fools are causing nothing but trouble recently. The master may not care, but I do. Cana, control your drinking," At that, Cana, who had been drinking a barrel of beer stopped, "Vijitor, stop dancing or dance outside. Wakaba, stop smoking. Nab, pick a job already! Macao, ugh. Are Natsu and Gray here?"
I looked to where Natsu and Gray were. They were both sweating a lot and Natsu and Gray were holding hands and hugging each other.
"We're just hanging out, like the best of friends!" Gray said a little too fast. Natsu started nodding a lot.
"It's nice to see you getting along so well. But even the best of friends fight once every so often," Erza said looking at the two suspiciously.
"Well I don't know about the best of friends…" Gray said, sweating everywhere.
"Natsu, Gray, I need you to do me a favor," Erza paused and Natsu and Gray looked shocked. "While on the road, I heard something that worried me. Normally I would ask the master before deciding something but as you know he's not here and this is a matter of utmost urgency. You two are the strongest wizards here. I could use your help," Murmurs spread throughout the guild and disbelief spread through them. "We'll meet at the train station tomorrow morning."
"Never saw that one coming," Mira muttered. Mira walked toward me and sat down. "I'm going to ask Lucy as well, but because you're new here and I know you're more powerful than you look, I would like to ask you to go ahead and keep Natsu and Gray out of trouble."
"Me?" I asked, almost spitting out water. Mira nodded and got up, heading toward the bar.
Gray and Natsu threw insults at each other. I tipped my hat over my eyes and crossed my arms over my shirt, my trench coat left at home. Lucy tapped my shoulder and I looked up at her.
"Um, excuse me, but I don't know you're name," Lucy said awkwardly.
"My names Sion," I said smiling. She blushed a little and watched Gray and Natsu fight while I closed my eyes and waited.
"It's time to go big buddy!" Gray said, making me open my eyes.
"Aye!" Natsu yelled.
"I really do love to see you two getting along so well," Erza said. "And what are your names? I believe I saw you both at the guild yesterday."
"Im Lucy Heartfillia!" Lucy exclaimed, getting up from her seat.
"And I'm Sion Treaty, nice to meet you," I said nodding, tipping my hat back so that she could see my face clearly.
"I just joined Fairy Tail, Mira asked me to come along with you guys," Lucy said cheerfully.
"Same here," I said, getting up and slinging my backpack over my shoulder.
"The more the merrier. You're the girl, I heard about, the one who defeated a mercenary gorilla with only your pinky finger," Erza said. Lucy looked shocked. Erza looked toward me, "And you're the miraculous Fairy Tail member who destroyed nothing while defeating 200 men with only your death glare."
"Uh… sure," I said, my eyes wide and sweating at the exaggeration.
"It'll be great to have two other talented wizards helping us," Erza said cheerfully.
"It's my pleasure!" Lucy said, still shocked.
"Erza, I'll join you on one condition!" Natsu said, un hugging Gray.
"What is it?" Erza asked, turning toward him.
"Once we get back to the guild, I'm gonna fight you!" Natsu exclaimed smiling.
"You got some kind of death wish?" Gray hissed at Natsu.
"Im a lot stronger than I was back then! This time, I'm gonna beat ya!" Natsu exclaimed.
"Yes, you've improved. But we'll see if you can beat me. I accept your challenge!" Erza said smiling.
"All right! I'm fired up!" Natsu exclaimed, his eyes bright.
"I swear, you're totally pathetic Natsu. One minute you're picking a fight with Erza and the next you're barely alive," Gray said looking at the pink haired mage.
"It's got to be tough on him like this," Lucy said, glancing at Natsu. Then I could tell she was looking at me, curled up on the bench, feeling like I was dying, and I was sure I looked the same on the outside as Wren and Happy sat on the seat across from me. "And him." The group's gaze minus Natsu looked at me, and I knew I looked even worse than Natsu as Lucy winced slightly.
"Don't worry, he'll be fine," Erza said, and Natsu was transported to Lucy's seat and Lucy sat where Natsu was. I groaned to Wren and he sighed, pulled out something from his backpack and gave it to me. I wolfed it down and I felt a lot better, sitting up with a mild headache. Erza knocked Natsu out with a gut punch and he fell onto her lap.
"Erza, I think it's time to tell us what we're getting ourselves into," Gray said.
"Right, I believe that the dark guild Eisenwald is planning something big, I'm not sure what, but it has to do with a magic item called Lullaby," Erza said seriously.
"Lullaby?" Gray and Lucy said in union.
"What do you think they want?" Lucy asked.
"Let me start at the beginning," Erza said and told her tale of how she found out about Lullaby. I only heard Lucy is slimy from Happy.
"So, Eisenwald is planning to do something with this Lullaby thing and we need to stop em," Gray said. Erza nodded.
"So, if you don't mind me asking, what kind of magic do you do, Erza?" Lucy asked politely.
"I use equip magic," Erza said, "I basically store things in another dimension and when I want to use it, I summon it on command."
"Wow!" Lucy said excited.
"How about you, Gray?" Lucy said, turning to the black haired mage.
"Ice make," Gray said, a ice made Fairy Tail guild mark appearing in his hand.
"That super cool!" Lucy exclaimed. "What magic do you do, Sion?"
I gave a weak smile, "Dragon Slayer magic, Apocalypse."
The whole group looked surprised, "That's also really cool!" Lucy said.
They all got off the train, and a few second too late, Happy realized Natsu wasn't with them.
"Im such a fool, I was talking so much I forgot about him. Natsu hates all forms of transportation! This is my entire fault, I need one of you to come and hit me as fit punishment!" Erza said clenching her fists.
A few minutes later and she had hit the train brake at the train station, getting a few employees mad.
I concentrated all my magic power into my arm, where the magic mobile was slowly taking away my magic. I had offered to drive, and it was better this way as overall I had a larger magic supply than Erza. Suddenly, Natsu crashed through the train window and I almost swerved to avoid him, but luckily Gray caught him, or should I say, Natsu slammed into him. I slammed my foot down on the brakes and twisted the wheel, so that the car made an abrupt stop. Natsu complained a little and Erza gave him a hard hug, slamming his face into her armor.
"I was attacked by some dude in a guild named Eisenwald-" Natsu started, only to be slapped by Erza.
"You fool! Those are exactly the people we're chasing! Why did you let him get away?" Erza yelled questioningly
"Huh? I just heard about it," Natsu said, on the ground and rubbing his cheek.
"I explained it all on the train! You should've been listening!" Erza yelled, shaking Natsu up and down and every other direction.
Lucy muttered something under her breath and I grinned while Gray shook his head.
Hey guys! While I'm still learning how to move along the story without it seeming choppy or boring, I hope you still enjoyed it, even with some awkward dialogue throughout the chapter. I hope to continue the story to at least quite a bit later in the story arcs, as something happens that is very critical to understand Sion and where he comes from.
