Chapter 3 - A member's past and new friend?
Ray was sitting in his favorite spot at the bar and ordered a drink which Mirajane happily gave him only he asked for extra ice. He sat there and drank the cold liquid and ate pieces of ice that he got in the mug which he enjoyed very much. He looked to see Natsu and Lucy walking up to him and he got nervous about why.
"Hey Ray what's up?" Natsu greeted with his toothy smile.
"Nothing Natsu. What do you want this time? Another job you want to do?" Ray asked taking a drink.
"Nah not today. I think after last time we could use some time off." Natsu answered sitting down in the stool next to him.
Lucy sat on the stool on his other side. "Are you feeling okay?" Lucy looked at Ray questioningly.
"Yeah just enjoying the a cold drink." Ray answered taking a drink.
"Hey I was wondering what's your deal?" Natsu asked looking at Ray.
"Natsu that's a little rude don't ya think." Lucy said looking at Natsu.
"Ah it's fine Lucy. I was waiting for when someone was gonna ask." Ray waved her off taking a drink.
"So you gonna tell us?" Natsu questioned hoping he would.
"Yeah yeah. Jeez." Ray answered annoyed.
"Honestly many of us are curious about it Ray." Mirajane said giving him a second drink.
"Yeah come on tell us or are ya to scared?" Gray said mockingly.
"Gray your clothes." Ray laughed.
"Oh crap!" Gray yelled as he scrambled for his clothes.
Ray sighed as he took another drink from the new mug as he turned around in his stool only to find almost half the guild there to listen in.
"Oh jeez…" Ray sighed. "Well as many of you know I am a Dragon Slayer with the use of ice magic. But, I am apart of the third generation of Dragon Slayers." Ray confirmed as he ate some ice. "The dragon that raised me was named Frovisdat. He was an ice dragon and he was like my father and treated me like I was his own son."
"So you were raised by a Dragon like Natsu." Lucy felt better knowing her theory was right.
"Yeah but, I was also given Dragon Lacrima which was implanted in my body after Frovisdat…" Ray trailed off remembering his past.
"He what?" Happy asked.
"When he felt I was old enough..I was told that in order to become even stronger I had to kill him.." Ray almost felt sick having to remember that specific day.
"What do you mean you killed him?" Gray questioned.
"What else could I mean." Ray answered as he took another drink.
"What happened after that?" Happy questioned.
"Well after that I went on my own. Moving from town to town. Never really getting close to anyone." Ray finished his drink.
"Sounds lonely." Mirajane chimed in as she replaced his drink.
"Eh wasn't all bad I met some interesting people. Even if they..tried to kill me..a lot." Ray chuckled.
"What!?" Half the guild gasped hearing that.
"Apparently someone who's related to me screwed all of them over while playing cards." Ray answered not really caring.
"What did you do? Did you handle it like a man?" Elfman asked curiously.
"By 'deal with it like a man' you mean beat the crap out of them for being stupid? Then yeah I did." Ray answered.
Ray got up after chugging down the last of his drinks for today he walked to the board and took a pretty simple monster removal job. He took the flier and headed for the door as his friends looked at him confused.
"Hey where ya going?" Natsu asked confused.
"I'm going out on a job. Tired of sitting around." Ray answered.
"Don't you want any help?" Happy asked wanting to go with.
"No thanks." Ray said as he left.
After Ray left the guild hall he walked to the town where a woman asked for help with a missing person only he forgot to look at the reward. He walked to what looked like a normal town and it all seemed to be a quite place so he decided to ask who requested help. He walked into the town market area and asked around and found that a woman had asked. So he asked where this woman is and he found out where she lives which is a small cabin just out of the town. He thanked the person who informed him and walked to the cabined house. He walked up the small hill it rested on and once he reached it he knocked on the door and the door opened. Ray didn't see anyone but, looked down to see a small child had answered the door and it was a boy. He looked seeing the boy's mother at the door having her son back up.
"Who are you?" The woman was obviously nervous.
"You don't need to worry. I'm a wizard from Fairy Tail. You were the one who requested a monster removal." Ray answered giving the woman some relief.
"Yes. Please come in." She said opening the door and inviting Ray in.
Ray walked in and now sat across from the woman as her son was sitting in her lap. "So who is it that is missing?" Ray asked hoping to find out anything.
"My..my husband.." The woman had trouble saying it.
"When did he go missing?" Ray looked at her.
"A couple months ago..he went out in the woods to find something that supposed to be a relic of a spider that is said to be worth a million jewels.." She answered almost shaking.
Ray placed a hand on her shoulder helping her relax. "Thank you…" She was now calmer.
"I need you to tell me where he went so I can go find him and bring him home." Ray was being calm for the child's sake.
"He went into the woods just to the south..there's a trail you can't miss it.." She answered.
Ray saw she was obviously distort over her husband not being home in months and Ray knows what it's like to lose someone close. He isn't gonna let this woman's son go through that so he stood up and the boy looked at him. "I'll be back before nightfall. With your husband and that relic." Ray smiled.
"Thank you.." The woman almost looked like she was gonna cry.
The boy jumped out of his mother's lap so he can tug on Rays pant leg and when Ray looked down at him the boy was giving him something. Ray saw it was a drawing of a dragon which looked like Ray's dragon Frovisdat. Ray smiled as he took it making the boy happy as he headed outside and headed to the trail in the woods. Ray saw the trail and searched the area hoping the husband is just there and he can be taken back but, he knew that wasn't happening. So Ray walked down the trail as he got deeper and deeper into the woods something didn't sit right with him. He walked and thought he heard something and looked into the trees and saw something running ahead of him. Ray knew something was up so he gave chase to whatever it was. Ray ran after the figure and when he felt he had a chance he lunged at it and tackled it onto the top of a hill.
Ray tumbled down the hill as did the creature he attacked before both reached the bottom. "Ow..okay everything hurts..everything hurts.."
Ray stood up and saw that he was now in a place he did not want to be a spider's nest. Which now he felt his body shake since he absolutely HATES spiders. Ray had no choice but, to go in deeper because if this missing person is anywhere it's here. Ray walked in deeper and deeper and saw that their were relics here but, none were spiders. Ray found the relic as it was out in the open and was the relic of a spider which must be what the husband was looking for. So Ray approached but, was suddenly caught in a trap as he was wrapped up in a spider web and dragged into the air. Ray found himself trapped in a web cocoon and stuck to a web.
"Oh jeez oh jeez! What the hell!?" Ray yelled.
"Ah so another fool trapped in my webs." A voice slithered out causing Ray to shiver.
Ray looked to see a spider crawling towards him on the wb and to make this better it is a giant spider demon!
"Oh a Fairy Tail wizard is trapped in my web." The spider demon lady thing hissed.
"I'm looking for a man who came here for the relic!" Ray yelled struggling.
"Oh this fool?" She pulled a cocoon and showed a man that was the same as the description he was given.
"Why are you doing this?" Ray was trying to remain calm.
"Why? Because you humans think you can take what is not yours!" The demon yelled. "Once I devour your body my magic will be unstoppable!" The demon slowly moved closer to Ray opening its slimy mouth.
"Ew ew ew ew ew ew!" Ray yelled struggling more.
Ray managed to free his arm. "Ice Dragon's Ice Slash!" Ray yelled as his hand shot out a flurry of ice slashes knocking the demon sending it down into the ground. Ray managed to free himself and freed the husband as he caught him as they landed on the ground. The demon was now pissed off as it attacked again. Ray tossed the husband out of the way as he blocked the demon's attack before tossed into a wall. "Spider venom shot!" The demon yelled shooting green venom at Ray but, thankfully Ray moved out of the way as the venom hit the wall as it melted it like acid. Ray lunged at the demon and punched it in its ugly mug as he kicked it in the ribs. Ray grabbed its arms and tossed it across the nest as it slammed into the ground. Ray had to keep his distance from this thing, "Ice Dragon's Roar!" Ray sent his breath attack at the demon. The spider demon dodged it as she shot more venom at Ray as he ran to the side dodging the acid like venom.
Ray was not about to be eaten by a spider demon over a relic but, to his surprise the woman's husband smacked they demon in the back of the head with a stone. The demon looked at the man who is now frozen in fear. The man backed away as Ray ran up to the spider demon, "Ice Dragon's Wing Attack!" Ray's attack hit the demon directly. Ray looked as the husband had a clear shot to the relic which he took nabbing the relic off of its resting place. Ray looked as the man ran back to Ray with the relic, "I got it let's go!" He yelled as he and Ray ran for it.
Ray heard someone else yelling for help. "Help! Please!" Ray groaned as he ran back into the nest.
"What are you doing?!" The man yelled.
"Look go to the end of the trail! And hide! I'll be back!" Ray yelled as he ran.
Ray found a much smaller cocoon moving around and shaking giving indication that someone else is here. Ray jumped up grabbing the cocoon, "I'm here hold on!" Ray cut the cocoon open and to his dismay a red colored cat with red eyes was in it. "A cat!?" Ray yelled in anger. The cat lunged out and was now grabbing Ray's face causing him to fall. Ray hit the ground hard as the cat was shaking in fear from being trapped. Ray sat up and yanked the cat off his face and held it by its scruff in his hand.
"Wait you look like Happy." Ray looked at the cat as it shared a familiarity to Happy.
"Wait a stupid human saved me!?" The cat yelled as he tried clawing Ray.
That's when the spider demon was charging at Ray as its eyes were blood red in anger which was clear indication to leave NOW! Ray hugged the cat as he ran and he had no arguments as it wanted to leave just as much as Ray. The spider shot venom at Ray as the cat climbed on Ray's back as it sprouted wings and lifted Ray up.
"Woah! Woah!" Ray yelled in surprise.
"Look I'll help just as long as you keep that thing from eating me!" The red cat yelled.
"Deal!" Ray yelled in agreement.
He flew Ray down back at the spider demon as Ray shot his breath attack again as the demon dodged it.
"You! How did you escape!?" The demon noticed the red cat.
"I told you I wouldn't taste good!" The red cat stuck his tongue out at it.
Ray's right forearm was engulfed in a blizzard as the cat flew him down towards the she demon as they gathered speed. "Ice Dragon Iron Fist!" Ray roared as he punched the demon in the face as hard as possible sending it flying into the entrance of its nest. "Ice Dragon's Roar!" Ray blasted it again with all he had finally killing the demon and causing a collapse of the nests roof. Ray heaved as the cat lowered him to the ground.
"Thanks little guy." Ray smiled as he looked at the cat.
"Well thanks for saving me." The cat crossed its arms.
"How'd you get there?" Ray tilted his head.
"I thought I was being assigned to someone but, I got caught.." The cat seemed upset.
"Well. Want to come with me to Fairy Tail?" Ray smiled thinking that this cat can be of some help.
"Really!?" The cat was surprised.
"Sure. You'll need a name." Ray pondered. "How about Falu." Ray snapped his fingers.
"Falu?" The cat was confused about the name.
"Falu is a shade of red. And since you're all red. I thought it would work." Ray smiled.
"I like it!" Falu cheered.
Ray was curious why Falu was sitting on his shoulder so Ray looked at Falu. "I'm hungry.."
Ray smiled as he walked back onto the trail and found the edge of the forest at the start of the trail as the husband came out of hiding.
"You're alive thank goodness." The man was relieved.
"Hey come on nothing can stop a Fairy Tail wizard." Ray smiled.
The man walked with Ray as the sun was setting as Falu sat on Ray's shoulder as his stomach growled. Ray saw the man's wife and son at the top of the hill and he waved at them. "Hey! I told you we'd be back before nightfall!"
The boy ran down the hill as his father ran to him and both embraced as did his wife which made Ray feel good about having to deal with a spider demon. The man looked at Ray and smiled.
"Thank you so much." He was reunited with his family.
"You can have the reward." The woman handed Ray 300,000 jewels.
Ray smiled and rejected it much to her shock. "Nah keep it. I'm just happy I could reunite a family."
"The statue is worth a million jewels you should take it." The man tried handing it to Ray.
"No. You should sell it and get yourself the money." Ray was being serious.
The boy looked at Ray and smiled. "Thank you for saving my dad."
Ray smiled as he left waving at the family. "Your an idiot you know that?" Falu sighed.
"Oh come on. Gotta think about Fairy Tail's reputation." Ray shrugged.
"Can we get some food now?" Falu complained.
"Yeah Yeah." Ray smiled as he walked.
Ray returned to Fairy Tail the next morning as he was greeted by the other members as Falu sat next to him.
"Hey Mirajane got anything cold?" Ray asked as Mirajane gave Ray and Falu a drink.
Falu was happy he had a friend as he took a drink and Ray looked at him. "Mirajane. We need to stamp our new member." Ray smiled.
Falu got the stamp of Fairy Tail on his back much like Happy and speaking of Happy he and Natsu with Lucy in tow walked in.
"Hey Ray. Who's your friend?" Lucy saw Falu sitting with Ray.
"Ray smiled. It is a long story." Ray smiled taking a drink.
