First of all, I am sorry for the long delay. At the time I wrote this I had a bunch of time before school started so I wanted to try a new project with a series I loved a lot. Of course school went and messed up my vibes so I had to delay this as more important things like school projects and scholarships took up my time. On a side note, I think I'll be able to find time to update this sporadically, very sporadically if you catch my drift. Enough rambling however, time to go to the things you want to read about!
In the town of Magnolia located in the continent of Fiore, among the 60,000 residents that resided in this merchant city of magic past the Chaldean Cathedral in the center of the town lies the magic guild Fairy Tail.
Located nearby is a small house with a rent of 70,000 that is located near the shopping center was the house of Carla. It had pure white walls and a subtle scent of wood, many storage spaces and a dainty little fire place to keep Carla warm during the winter.
Carla was in the middle of setting up decorations for her, After hanging up a painting of a floating island she passed by her chair and noticed a figure. "Ah Sagittarius, can you help hanging up these curtains, I won't be able to reach them" Carla said and Sagittarius bowed "Alright moshi moshi." the spirit said and he went about drapping pink curtains.
Noticing the other figure Carla took a box and placed it as well. "Warren, can you make sure these cat statues are spread across the house thanks!" Carla asked and she turned to go do something else as Warren voiced his acceptance of the task .
That voice however stopped Carla in her tracks.
She slowly turned around to see the two people going about her house decorating the place in pink curtains and dark oak cat statues and she cried out. "Hold on! Why are the two of you in my house?"
Sagittarius shrugged as he straightened out a curtain. "ah, Coco moshi moshi told us the location of your house and we wanted to stop by." he said simply.
"You guys are committing multiple crimes, breaking an entering, invasion of privacy and trespassing just to name a few." Carla huffed.
"But we're guild mates, no biggie." Warren said as he rubbed the wall. "This is a nice wall by the way."
"Thanks, I love the white color..." Carla paused. "That's not the point, both of you get out right now."
"We came all this way to see you though moshi moshi." Sagittarius sighed.
"At least give us some tea." Warren complained.
"Why should I service the intruders of my household?"
"We can answer any questions that you're curious about" Warren smirked.
"And what questions may I have?" the young white cat inquired.
"About the celestial spirits and why Sagittarius here hasn't gone away yet." Warren responded.
"How did you know?"
"I'd rather not say" Warren coughed.
"Warren can see into your mind, and send messages, you can also send messages back to him yet not see into his mind moshi moshi." Sagittarius explained.
"Sagi please, don't give away my secret like that" Warren cried and Carla started to stew.
"my my, remember how I spoke about invasion of privacy? It got a whole lot worst."
Carla lunged across the table and the trio got into a fight as they rolled around on the floor. A few minutes later both Sagittarius and Warren had large bumps on their head as they gloomily drank their tea as Carla huffed in her chair.
"Tell me about the celestial spirits. I know that you reside in the spirit world but why are you still here?"
"For that reason I do not know, many years ago the world became messed up. Us spirits were set free from the spirit world and were unbounded by our keys while people were bounded to the keys in our stead. It is part of the reason why I search for the Spirit King, in hopes of him reversing this terrible spell."
"Sounds like a tough problem, what would I be able to do to help?" Carla asked
"First I'd like to get Celestial spirit keys to find out who has been bounded to the keys... though we don't have a celestial spirit mage with us moshi moshi" Sagittarius sighed
"I think I heard about Virgo's key at this mansion, we can go find out about it, I actually grabbed the mention of it." Warren suggested.
"Lets do it, I think Sagittarius here wants some closure." Carla said.
"You guys don't have to worry about I moshi moshi." Sagittarius quickly argued
"Its decided" Warren said adamantly.
"Agreed, the course of action?" Carla asked.
"Take the mission, though we need a maid, Carla you up for it?" Warren asked.
"If its for the sake of the team then sure." Carla could only sigh
"Aren't you two going a bit to far without consulting me moshi moshi? Sagittarius interrupted
"No exceptions let us go!" The duo said and Sagittarius could only sigh and go along with them.
"I guess this makes us a team" Sagitarrius said.
At the guild a group of three was advancing toward the job board. A girl in a purple sleeveless kimono scanned the board only to find the missing space of the job she wanted to do.
"Hey Coco, the job at Kyoka Mansion" The girl asked and the young athlete turned to look at the trio.
"Ah Kamika, Dezille, Alzack, sorry the job was taken by Warren since he wanted to find a key for Sagi-san though without a female the effort would be a flat 0/10" Coco chuckled to herself.
"Ah I wanted to do the mission to, it was a good 20,000 jewels." Kamika pouted.
"I don't think the job would be worth it anyway, I just received news for that request. " Enno smiled sweetly from behind the bar.
"Was it canceled? Honestly the effort I made to put the information up was 11/10."
"Its nothing silly like that, the reward was raised to 2 million" Enno dropped the bomb and the guild expoded into a comotion.
"Two Million for just a book? Man I missed out" Kamika groaned.
Sherria scoffed. "Its getting interesting huh". She got up to stretched as the guild descended into chaos.
Somewhere else in a carriage Carla was practicing on being a maid while Sagittarius and Warren was critiquing her.
As they arrived the three of them discussed what they should be doing.
"It was a tough ride, maybe some food to calm ourselves a bit." Sagittarius suggested and the other two agreed. "Best get our needs out of the way before we meet the client, I wouldn't want anyone's stomach to disgust them. "
The trio went to eat a quick meal before heading over to the client's house where the voice over the intercom asked them to come to the back entrance.
"Welcome I am Kaby Melon and this is my wife" the man introduced and the trio introduced themselves back.
"Fairy tail mages huh, I'm surprised that you would even take up my request, so young and lively."
"So what do you want us to do?" Warren asked.
"I want you to steal a one-of-a-kind book from Kyoka mansion. Named Daybreak. Destroy it"
"Got it, well if that is all then we should go" Warren said.
"Why do you want to destroy the book if you mind me asking?"
"I just need the book destroyed" Kaby said.
"If that is what you need done then I will go." Carla nodded and the trio left.
"Dear, are you sure you want this, Kyoka destroyed the last team we sent." Kaby's wife voiced her concern.
"I just can't let that book still be around."
The mansion that the trio stood before was elaborate, the front gate was decorated by various runes and demonic markings, the plantlife inside had a sick purple color to them as they twisted around skeleton trees.
"Whoa this place looks like a demon lives here" Warren sighed.
"Just be quiet and let me get us in"
Carla changed from her cat form into her human form and conjured a pair of maid clothing onto her body. Carla took out a mirror and inspected her clothing and body to make sure there was no odd clothing sticking out and she adjusted herself.
Taking a step forward and ringing the bell she composed herself. "Carla at your service, here to apply for the position of maid."
Carla waited for a response yet none came from the intercom all that appeared before her was a wave-like orb or dark matter.
Carla observed it with caution as a purple-gloved hand protruded from the orb. Next a pair of horns and a face with an eye-patch. "Another applicant?" the person asked, her upper body was now out of the orb revealing a dark cloak, cherry lips and pale skin. A white dress with purple wrappings.
"Yes, are you the owner of this mansion Madam Kyoka?"
"No, I am the Accursed Celestial Spirit of Power, Minerva" The girl scoffed from her hands a wavy orb started to materialize.
"Master, the human wishes to speak with you." Minerva drawled and from the orb came another person. A demon in fact.
A helmeted head with a blue gem, two green horns with wicked bone-plated claws alongside crow feet.
"This person wants to be my maid?" The demon speaks.
"It would appear so Lady Kyoka." Minerva snickered.
"She looks like a human... you know what I like to do with humans."
"She has a tail though, perhaps she is not human?" Minerva asked.
"Girl are you human?" Lady Kyoka asked.
"No! I am an Exceed" Carla said. "This form is just a form I took because not many would accept a cat maid." Carla answered truthfully.
"Let me see your exceed form." Kyoka asked.
Carla swiftly switched back to her cat form and she spun around to showcase her full inhumane figure.
"A cat maid hmm, I don't have one of those yet." Kyoka hummed.
"We do have a Demonic spirit, a frog, a plant, and a fire spirit under your service master." Minerva sneered.
"An exceed at that, tell me cat do you know any magic?"
"Aera, Transformation and bits of Precognition" Carla replied truthfully.
"Seems like a few good skills are there, I trust you won't do anything hasty while you're here." Kyoka asked, "We don't take kindly to intruders. "
"Nothing to fast" Carla answered.
"Ohhh" Kyoka sneered and she waved a hand, come on in then."
The trio disappeared into the orb. Warren concentrated on the link between him and Carla and waited for the confirmation.
As Carla was led around the mansion she noticed a private library and she started to wander to it. As she entered she got a vision of chains... chains and runes.
Carla broke from her vision and quickly scanned the room to look for the book that she needed to find and she needed to find it quickly.
She went around to each of the books and quickly scanned the shelves.
"Daybreak... Daybreak... where can you be?"
"Looking for something?" a voice whispered into her ear and she whirled around to see Minerva holding a golden book.
"I've been found" Carla said in her mind and Warren woke up.
"You're coming with me traitor." Minerva sneered and the two of them were dragged into the orb.
