Darkness and light, into the chaos.
Erik sat at the bar, taking a sip from his mug. "So what's Kinnana been up to?" He asked Mirajane.
"Well, since the Brothers came she's climbed the wizard ranks and is on par with Gray and Natsu." The takeover mage replied.
"The Brothers taught her magic?" How had he missed that?
"Serpent Strike magic is what Andrew called it. Since she used to be a snake her venom has stuck with her, and he figured it would keep the venom regulated."
I'll need to thank him for that. "So she's a wizard now, that might be interesting."
"Yeah, she's actually the first member of the Fairy Tail Shadow Gang." Andrew said, coming up behind the Dragon slayer. "Another round of soda, please." He requested, putting down his mug.
"Coming right up."
" I must be losing my touch, I didn't hear you coming."
You won't hear me move unless I want you to. It's all a part of my Thief magic. Andrew thought in reply. Kinnana was looking for you. Something about a job. Erik nodded and finished his glass, heading for the front door. "Tree at the center of town!" Andrew called as Erik changed direction as he reached the door.
...
The purple haired girl sat at the base of the tree, waiting for who she had sent Andrew to track. "I should have asked him myself," she muttered, "but he would know exactly where to find Erik."
"Someone mention me?" Erik asked, sitting next to his old friend. "Andrew said you had a job, what's it for?"
"Cult in two towns over. Leader's a poison wizard, so I thought you and I could take them together." Kinnana blushed as she finished.
"Sounds like fun, let's go." Erik stood and helped his friend to her feet. "I should probably check with Andrew."
"Oh, he told me to give you this." Kinnana handed over a note, which read Head out, I'll let Matt know where you went.
"That's kinda creepy."
"You'll get used to it."
I...
"Andrew, where's Erik?" Matt asked.
"Out on a job with Kinnana. I remembered something about a cult and recommended the job."
"That's what you did."
