Friends?

(I don't own fairy tail)

X779

It's been a year since Eligos left his home during that time he's done l few odd jobs here and there be it working at a bar for a week or two or scaring away bandit's near town, all of it's been worth it with the money he made from those jobs he was able to spend a few nights at hotels or inns and when he wasn't hunting he would buy the occasional meal.

Right now he is headed to a town known as Magnolia to look for a job, when he enters the town a smile instantly shines on his face seeing all the towns people around chatting with their friends or kids playing on the street, to Eligos this place seemed perfect, he wonders around looking for a place that might need work in till he spots a help wanted sign to a restaurant he goes inside asking for the manager about the help wanted sign.

"Oh, oh my l must apologies that sign should have been taken down weeks ago lm sorry but the jobs been taken" the employee explained Eligos just gave him a nod before trying his luck else were.

(Later)

"oh man you got to be kidding me, there's not a single job available, just my luck" Eligos had animated tears sliding down his cheek like a river as he rested his head on a table at a coffee shop he was sitting at "damn at this rate l'll never get a job, l don't wanna go back to wondering around again it was such a drag" he continued to whine after a few minutes he began hearing rumors going "oh the Fairy Tail guild is at it again" or " l was told that the demon Mirajane destroyed 30 houses just to deal with 3 valcans".

This got Eligos's attention 'Fairy tail huh, maybe l can get a job there' Eligos begins to wonder around looking for the guild, it didn't take long considering that a big symbol that looks like a fairy, when he gets there he pushes the door open to a rather funny sight, people talking loudly while drinking beer and some weird guy in an outfit consisted of a dark, close-fitting dancing suit that covers the entirety of his body dancing on the table, but the thing Eligos found amusing was two young kids one with pink hair and the other with black hair who was also nude except for his boxers fighting, it got to the point where a young red headed girl about his age bashing them over their heads which made Eligos chuckle.

He walked up to the bar he was able to feel the magic energy of everyone here and saw that the small old man in a white shirt with black Fairy Tail stamp in the middle which covered by an orange hoodie. His attire was completed with matching orange shorts and an orange and blue stripes designed jester hat sitting on the bar, walking up to him the old man sees Eligos and decides to introduce himself "hello there my name is Makarov Dreyar what's your name and how can l help you" he says with a smile on his face.

"oh yes, umm l was wondering if there were any jobs available like minding the bar or something" Eligos says scratching the back of his head with a wide smile showing his white teeth, the old name now dubbed as Makarov squints his eyes in suspicion getting a good look at Eligos till finally he says" l can feel your magic energy your stronger than any normal mage, tell me why do you just want a job, why not join the guild" He didn't wait long Eligos gave his answer right after" well l have a few reasons mainly cuz it's such a drag" and just like that Makarov could see Eligos lazy nature " and really the type of magic can get a bit destructive unless l hold back and that always seems to slip past me" again scratching the back of his head in embarrassment 'l see … GOD DAM IT PLEASE TELL ME A DON'T HAVE ANOTHER GILLDARTS' these thoughts rushed to Makarovs head in worry and Eligos was just looking at him sheepishly "wait l can tell you've been trained in the art of magic if you weren't going to join a guild why learn" this question really hit Eligos it's something no one has ever asked him with his eyes shadowed by his hair and smile on his face he replies" l only learned magic for one reason, it wasn't so l could be powerful, so l could gain popularity, it's because if the time should ever rise" Eligos rises his head and his eyes full of determination look directly into Makarov's" l would be able to help protect those close to me" he finishes with a bright smile, Makarov looks at Eligos also with a smile.

"My boy you have the characteristics of a Fairy Tail mage while l can't say lm happy about someone like you not wanting to join all l can say is … you're hired"

(1 week later)

During the week that Eligos started working as a bartender for the guild he met some interesting people for example he was introduced to the two kids fighting the day he arrived, Natsu and Gray needless to say the young pink hair boy challenged to a fight to which Eligos said no to saying it was a 'drag' but Natsu wasn't going to take no for an answer and rushed at him with a flaming fist, within seconds he was bitched slapped across the hall with a large red hand print on his face and Eligos looked just a bored as ever.

When he got a proper introduction with Gray he leant one thing about the boy … he's a bloody striper, he later met the Take Over Siblings Mirajane, Elfman and Lisanna Strauss, he go on well with all of them but Mirajane sometimes try's to bait him into a fight while Elfman seemed a little bit shy with Lisanna however no matter how many times he looked back to their first encounter he had no idea how he became her 'big brother' needless to say the other two just went along with it.

When it came to Eligos meeting Erza Eligos gained the title of 'iron balls' mainly when she tried to explain the guild rules most of them being hers he just brushed her off not really caring in the least she got angry and showed it by swing her sword at him however one does not train for most of his life and gets hit by a sword, no he caught her sword with one hand and unintentionally with his grip broke the sword in two, as a way to repay the broken sword he put some jewels away to buy her a new one, she still doesn't like him.

He met the others along the way like Levy or Cana, by the end of the week he was introduced to everyone in the guild.

That brings use to now.

"COME ON ELIGOS FIGHT ME" yelled a young Natsu with flames covering his fist, looking at Eligos while he was just reading the latest Sorcerer Magazine with a bored look he turns his head to Natsu "you're not gonna leave me alone till l agree huh" he asked not really needing an answer, sighing and puts his magazine down on the bar and mentions for Natsu the rest of the guild follows in wonder what Eligos's magic is, they all are out the front of the guild with Eligos and Natsu standing in fount of each other Natsu with a eager look and Eligos bored as hell, Makarov is in between them acting as the judge of the fight.

With a swing of his hand Makarov jumps out of the way to let the fight start "FIRE DRAGON'S ROAR" Natsu quickly begins the fight by releasing a large fire ball towards Eligos who stands their while the other guild members were yelling at Eligos to get out of the way, but Eligos stood his ground and let the fire hit him, everyone thought he was finished, what they didn't expect to see was Eligos eating away at Natsu's flame, they were all shocked, this man…WAS EATING FIRE, Natsu was the first to recover " WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU A DRAGON SLAYER TOO" it was a logical question who else but a dragon slayer to eat their own element.

" l can see why you would think that but no lm not a dragon slayer" Eligos replayed Natsu was now confused " IF YOUR NOT A DRAGON SLAYER THEN HOW DID YOU EAT MY FIRE" Eligos was just looking up to the sky scratching his nose "boy you're a loud one, now lm not a dragon slayer but something more something that can destroy Evil" everyone closed in wondering what type of magic is was Eligos closed his eyes while facing Natsu " lm a flame Devil slayer" his eyes snapped open Eligos once blue eyes now blood red at Dark blue flames engulfed Eligos hand with a quick speed dash yells " FLAME DEVIL'S HAMMER FIST" punched Natsu with his Flame covered fist Sends him flying into a nearby tree, everyone is speechless, granted Dragon slayer magic while rare was still known but they never heard of devil slayer magic, they all look back at Eligos whose walking back in the guild before saying " this is such a drag"

Things have now gotten interesting for the Fairy tail guild
