Chapter 2

Since my recovery a few months ago, I've been hanging out with Levy and the others trying to get to know her while working at the tattoo parlor. Jet and Droy didn't like it to much but she said pay them no mind.

Since the attack, and Melissa not being around, Satin was having trouble making ends meet. Those gang members kept coming back to the point where people wouldn't go back the parlor. So Satin had to sell the shop leaving me without a job.

Levy managed to convince me to join Fairy Tail as the third Dragon slayer, which Jet and Droy didn't like at all, because she said I needed the money and I would fit in well amongst the other wizards. I thought she meant in a good way but she FAILED to mention that they fight all the time.

It threw me off at first but after the first week, I got use to all the violence and even joined in most of the time. I enjoyed this guild and all its members the moment I walked into the door.

Since I needed money to stay in my apartment Lily and I been doing small jobs that can be completed with two people in a day.

Each day we come back exhausted but have enough money to well get a better place that is closer to the guild. We found a small house a few blocks away from the guild and RIGHT below a bathhouse for a reasonable price.

We moved in the moment we bought the house and well our life has been getting better. Every chance we get I always spend it with Levy. A month after I bought the house; and was enjoying a nice cup of Ginger ale Levy walked over to me holding a sheet of paper "Um Gajeel may I ask you something" she said her brown eyes looking at me from the top of paper.

I sat the mug down of the table and looked at the quest "Yeah what is it" I said my eyes meeting hers. She shifted back and forth before sitting down next to me "Um Jet and Droy were needed on another mission yesterday with some other people and I was wondering if you could accompany me on this mission" she said placing the paper down next to me.

I picked it up and took a good look at the sheet my eyes darting across the page. The mission was something that didn't surprise me one bit. Two librarians found an ancient book in an old library and went to retrieve the book but the traps of the library have been difficult to maneuver so instead of trying to traverse the library they will pay a hefty sum to whoever finds the book and brings it to them.

I looked at the price 'Holy shit 10 million jewel for this book they must really want this book' I thought sitting the page back down. I took a deep breath "Yeah I can go with you even though you have an alternate reason for going" I said messing with her hair.

She puffed her cheeks and straightened out her hair before smiling "is this evening a good day for you" she asked before taking the quest sheet and roiling it up. I squinted "This evening" I said with a puzzled look on my face.

She sighed, "Yeah this mission is a day trip from where we are and according to the quest will be there for a while so pack heavy," she said as I groaned. I finished off the last bit of my Ale 'Well I guess there no turning back' I thought to myself standing up. I looked at Levy one last time "Okay see you at the guild this evening", I said before walking over to the bar on the other side of the room.

I handed the mug to Mira and she placed it in the sink as Levy held the quest close to her chest "Alone with Gajeel' she thought before standing up and walking out the guild. I left an hour later and began packing for this guest with Lily, watching the time, before eating a hearty meal. We took our bags and walked to the guild around 7pm to find Levy sitting on the bench outside the guild humming a slight tune.

She saw us walking over so she stood up and straighten out her short skirt before looking up at me "So are we ready to go" she said with a smile. Levy was wearing her usual orange dress and only had a backpack on her small petite body. I saw the Infinity symbol keychain dangling from one of the zippers and immediately knew what it was.

The Infinity Backpack well is a magical backpack well with no bottom and can hold anything not matter how big. But sometimes people can lose the stuff in the bag if they forget what the put in there so with Levy amazing memory it was perfect for her Levy got the bag as a reward for her last mission with Jet and Droy and been using it since for well everything.

I pointed to the bag "Got some space left in there" I asked as Levy stood up and put her hands one her hips. She took off her backpack and opened it "Just remember what the bag looks like so you can pull it out" she said as I took my bag off my back.

I took a good look at the heavy bag and saw the huge stich across the top of the green bag. I could never forget how that stitch got there. I dropped the bag in hers and watched it disappear in the swirls of purple, red and black. She zipped up her bag and slung it over her shoulders "come on lets go" she said walking past me. Lily jumped on my shoulder as I followed her to the train station.

Meanwhile in the unknown castle in Minstrel the sound of massive stone doors opening caused 12 glowing different color eyes to look towards the eerie beam of light that escaped between the doors.

The biggest of them all leaned forward "What do you have for us this is Alabaster?" the mysterious man said in a big booming voice after the man walked into the room holding a folder.

Alabaster stepped out into the light revealing this pale lifeless face "I'm here to tell you that the last dragon slayer has been found" Alabaster said in a smooth yet dead voice making the green eye man smile.

Alabaster put the folder on the pedestal in front of him and it hovered towards the man who spoke earlier "How did you find the final one" he said his voice still echoing though the huge room.

Alabaster adjusted his glasses and pointed to medium sized man to his left "You may of heard by now but the Lost were causing trouble again in the city of magnolia you should really keep them under check sir" he said as the man closed his book and looked at the tall man with this Royal blue colored eyes.

The emerald man sighed, "Whatever that gang was doing isn't my problem I said they can do whatever they please as long as they don't attack any guilds," he said in a strong Russian accent as Alabaster sighed.

He turned back to the big brute reading the file "So where is this Gajeel Redfox now" he asked and a hooded woman to his left lifted her head quite quickly as if the name surprised her. Her read hair slipped out her hood but she tucked it back in and she looked at Alabaster

Alabaster hummed "He currently at the Fairy Tail guild with all the other Dragon Slayers we found earlier" he said looking up at the hooded girl. She quickly looked away before a shrill voice came from Alabaster left "Goooooood that meeeeens with all those wizards we could have all the power we need to bring him back toooooooooo life" she cooed before laughing her green hair flying all over the place.

The big one held up his hand to the shrill, stopping her from laughing, before putting the folder back on the pedestal "Not yet we need to wait for one more wizard to come back from a mission Alabaster keep tabs on the wizards and tell me when she gets back" he said pushing the pedestal back to Alabaster below.

He picked up the folder "with pleasure sir" he said bowing before turning around and walking out the same door he entered. The hooded girl sighed and sat down "Something wrong" the big man asked as the red head looked up and shook her head "No nothing wrong I'm going to my room" she said standing up and walking behind the man.

He looked forward "I will call you when the Alabaster has returned so be ready" he said a she nodded and walked thought the small doors behind him. She laid against the door 'so maybe I will be able to see you again Gajeel' she said before walking down the hall to her room
