Round Six
Siegrain paused as he walked down the street, staring up at the impressive structure that was the Fairy Tail guild. A guild that was currently in mourning. Silence was all that was heard from the notoriously rowdy guild hall, a sound that was so heartbreakingly wrong, even those who were new to the area knew that something was wrong. That something was missing. They didn't know what it was that was missing, but Siegrain did. The guild was mourning the loss of one of their own, of Gray. They weren't sure what had happened, but his team had come back without him, heads hung low in shame and in sorrow.
Of course, the guild and its members hadn't accepted it just like that, that wasn't their way. They had searched for Gray, in every place that he might have been, had interrogated everyone who might possibly know where he was or what had happened to him. When they had found nothing, not even a hint of his continued existence, they had lost hope.
How could they be a family, how could they be complete with one of their own lost? One of their own was out there alone, whether in life or in death and it was not acceptable.
Fairy Tail was not Siegrain's guild, but he knew this could be the thing that would destroy them. He didn't want that, not really. Fairy Tail was so fun to mess with and it kept the council distracted, kept them from noticing the games he played, the way he manipulated them. It would be to his advantage if that distraction continued to exist, if the trouble makers of Fairy Tail continued to make trouble. So, he would do something that went against every fibre of his being and he would look for Gray. Maybe he would be able to find him where the guild couldn't. After all, Fairy Tail did have enemies, people who wouldn't be willing to co-operate with them, but might be willing to help him out, with the right persuasion of course.
Walking down the street, passed the silent guild, he considered his options. He would not inform Fairy Tail that he was looking for Gray. He didn't want their interference and he certainly did not want their help. This was something he would do on his own, hopefully without anyone finding out about his actions and misinterpreting them. He wasn't going to do this to help or because of Gray or anything like that, he was doing this because it suited his own aims to have Fairy Tail distracting the council. A tiny part of his mind recognised the issue with this, recognised the truth that lay behind his words, but he squashed it before it could gain much ground.
Siegrain began his search in the mountains where Gray and his team had been before everything had gone wrong, looking for a clue to his location that may have been missed by the initial search in their haste. All he could find was snow and the scars left on the land by a great battle. Whatever they had fought up here, it hadn't gone down easily. Something that strong, it wasn't impossible for it to have affected Gray after the battle had been won, after the monster had been defeated, magical creatures were notoriously tricky.
There were no signs of Gray anywhere and no signs of any type of magic that may have made him disappear. There was no reason to stay here any longer; it was time to move onto the next area of suspicion, the area that Gray had actually disappeared from.
After the mission was complete, they had gone to the only tavern in the small town that had been terrorised by the creature. It was from there that Gray had vanished. According to what Siegrain had overheard, his team said that he had told them he was going to go and get another drink from the bar, but had completely disappeared somewhere between the table and the bar. All those who they had interviewed had said that he seemed to vanish abruptly. One minute he was there, making his way through the crowd and the next he was gone. To take someone so powerful, in a crowded room, without anyone noticing, must have taken a huge amount of magical power. There weren't that many people with that kind of power, even fewer who would be willing to risk kidnapping a member of Fairy Tail. It was no secret what happened to those who messed with the Fairy Tail family.
Of course there was a possibility that had been overlooked by everyone who had searched for the missing ice mage. That he had been taken, not by magic but by more physical means. It would be a lot easier to make everyone think that someone had vanished than to actually make them vanish. After that, all they would have had to do was somehow prevent Gray from putting up a fight, which admittedly would be easier said than done. In fact, there was only one person Siegrain had ever heard of who had the kind of skills necessary to pull that off. All he needed to do was confirm it.
It was not difficult to find someone who had been at the tavern the night that Gray had disappeared. That was the advantage of small towns. It had been simple to ask if they had seen anyone at the tavern that night that matched the description in his head, even simpler to track that person down. Safe in the knowledge that no one would consider a non-magical explanation for Gray's disappearance, he hadn't placed many safe guards to prevent himself from being found if someone was looking for him and knew where to look.
Siegrain didn't bother to be polite, simply forcing his way in the door and into the back room where the culprit stored his ingredients. A chemist with a skill for illusionist style magic, although only possessing very weak magic, there was no way that Fairy Tail would have considered him as a possibility but he knew exactly how to brew a poison that would render Gray completely incapable of making any sort of decision for himself, making him immensely suggestible, easy to manipulate. Sure enough, there Gray was, lying on a bench in the workroom, surrounded by herbs and chemicals that would ensure he stayed easy to manage.
Without a word, Siegrain scoped Gray up, throwing him over his shoulder. A flick of his hand dealt with the chemist and he strolled out of the building as if he owned the place, not at all bothered by the weight of the unconscious boy he carried. Cloaking himself in an aura of invisibility, he travelled back to Magnolia and Fairy Tail as fast as he was able, not wanting Gray to wake before he reached the guild. He reached the guild in record time, depositing his burden and knocking on the door before fading into the shadows to observe the resulting rush unseen.
Thrilled at the return of their missing member, no one searched too hard to find out who had brought him back and Gray was no help, unable to remember anything that had happened after he had stood up from the table in the tavern. Fairy Tail returned to causing chaos and Siegrain continued to plan his plans, secure in the knowledge that the council was once again distracted by the antics of the guild and all its members.

So very, very, very long since I've had anything to do with Fairy Tail, I have no idea what anyone's character is like anymore.
