Guardian Angel

"Vinny, we need to find the mayor's house!" Natsu reminded me.

I turned to him.

"Natsu! Do you even know where it is?" Happy asked. He was floating just above our heads.

The streets look pathless, no carriages, no people with bicycles, no outside vendors. There were mostly noodle shops, which was good for Natsu, restaurants, and bakeries.

People were watching us as we pass them, eyes full of confusion, doubt, and revulsion. Most of them are on the ground, with fire surrounded by rocks and sticks in front of them. The others were standing or halfway out of their igloos.

The mayor is ahead. . .

I stopped from my tracks, looking south (In front of me is south, on my back was north).

Go, my friend. . . Before time runs out. . .

Natsu and Happy ceased walking and turned to me with a confused look. I gestures them to go walk and I'll follow. They both looked at each other and shrugged and continue to go ahead. I blew a sign of relief.

It's been a while, my friend. . . Greetings, I'm your demon, Chaos. . .

"What was that?" Natsu turned to me.

"Aye!" Happy agreed, holding up a hand.

"You can hear him?" I asked calmly. "The voice?"

"Yeah, the voice that was saying, 'It's been a while, my friend. Greetings. I'm your demon, Chaos.'" Natsu nodded. "I don't have any demons, which was strange."

"Aye!" Happy added, holding up a hand again.

"Why's strange?" I rubbed my chin, with my left, golden gauntlet, thoughtfully.

Natsu shrugged. "I mean, I could hear him, even Happy and you. . ." He looks at me with suspicious eyes. "Maybe you have a demon with you. . ."

"Of course I do," I explained. "I used him when we were flying."

"Oh!" Natsu exclaimed, slapping his head. "Maybe I –"

"There you are!" a voice interrupted behind him. The three of us look at that direction. There was this old man with long white beard, wrinkled white skin, firmly closed eyes lids, and he has a walking stick. He's short, like Happy, and wears the same exact sweater the other people has, except for that it's white. "Are you from Fairy Tail?"

"Yeah! And this is our new recruit!" Natsu pointed at me and I bow, some of my black, long hair slipping down. He smiled. "We're here for the quest you've been worrying about!"

The mayor turned to me with a thoughtful look. Then he made a fist and hammered it to his other palm. "Mistgun's boyfriend was it?" he asked.

I shook my head. "I'm his friend, Mayor," I corrected, crossing my arms over my chest. My eyes widen all of a sudden. "Mistgun came here?"

The short man nodded, chuckling quietly. "He told me that you should seek the ones behind the glacier."

"Who are they?" Natsu asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Aye!" Happy agreed.

"Our villagers tried to go to the other side of the glacier, but those blue-skinned monkeys are blocking the way," the mayor continued. "They fought the villagers until out people are nearly dead." He frowned.

Natsu punched his fists together, completely angry. "Then we should go kick their asses again!" He cursed under his breath. "The leader pisses me off!"

"Again?" the mayor repeated.

"Aye! Natsu and Vinny defeated some blue gorillas on their way here!" Happy answered, holding up an arm.

"Hmm. . . Natsu?" The mayor crossed his arms. "Vinny? Maybe. . . Your name is V—"

I hold up a hand. "Don't."

"Alright. . ." The mayor turned his back to us, then he stood straight. "After the quest is finish, come back here and get your reward." He wave a Silver Key that it's handle has small white wings, with a simple wing sign in between them, and the point of the key looks like a cross. He turned to us and threw the key to me. I caught it, feeling the warm object against my skin.

"Use him to slow, rewind, or give more time." The mayor walked away. "And be careful! Those monkeys can be pain!"

I looked at the key for a couple of seconds.

An Angel. . .

Natsu and Happy turned to me.

His name is Angel Season*. . . Or. . . Guardian Angel. . .

"Guardian. . . Angel?" I repeated softly. Guardian Angel. He sounds so familiar. Was he the one Mistgun and I met in Fiore? He even told us that we'll meet again. But he's actually a Spirit, I should've felt it. "Gate of the Guardian Angel! I open thee!" The words suddenly came out. I point the key to the north. "Angel Season!" We heard a ding-dong and someone appeared in front of us.

He has pure white, long hair that reached to his back. His long-sleeved sweater has white fur around his neck. His pants are the same at Natsu's, but he has too belts around his lower waist. His eyes are piercing white, and they made him look innocent. His skin is pale, just like mine. And he has six feathery wings behind his back. "What can I do for you, Ouji-sama*?" he asked in a respectful tone. He bowed to me with a half-smile-half-frown look.

"Oh! He acts like Virgo!" Happy cut in, holding up a hand again.

"The one who could change herself?" Natsu scratched his head, with his lips pursed together. "Or was it the one who could be anyone?"

"So this means Vinny is a Celestial Spirit mage?" Happy exclaimed, flying around like he lost his mind. "! Shugoi*!"

"Are you the Guardian Angel Mistgun and I met in Fiore?" I asked firmly to Angel, eying him carefully.

Angel nodded. "Yes, Ouji-sama. I died when you left, causing me to reborn again to another body―" he placed a hand on his chest, then look up "―and I can still remember my miserable and dreadful past."

I walk to him slowly and took his hand. "Then show us the way to the back of the glacier," I whispered to him, smiling.

* In this story's chapters, sometimes season means spring, summer, fall, and winter, but right now, it meant time.

* In Japan, people address others by -kun, -chan, -sama, -san, -senpai, or -sensei. Right now, I used "Ouji-sama" for "Prince." If it's the Princess, then it'll be "Ojo-sama." Sometimes, Ouji can be spelled Oji for uncle, and Ojo-sama for a daughter of a high-class family.

* Shugoi meant cool, awesome (You name it), in Japanese.
