The Story

Loriel glided towards the building in the middle of the town.

She looked behind her and saw the Adam, Chocolate, and Vanilla were flying close behind.

Adam made a gesture for them to speed up.

Loriel retracted her ice wings and started to descend rapidly.

Vanilla swiftly swooped down and caught her by the waist. "Charge!For the sake of our new home!"Loriel shouted happily.

"Okie!" Vanilla responded happily.

Flying at his full speed, Vanilla got to the building in no time.

The duo charged through the door.

Inside, a large crowd of people all stared at the youth that just busted took a huge whiff of the people in the room.

"Yep. They smell like the town alright. And the mayor should be…" she said as she held her nose high and low, searching for the rightful owner of the mansion.

She arrived at a plump man who was sitting in the middle of the crowd. "You." She declared, pointing to the man.

The plump man was quite surprised. "Why, I am indeed the mayor. How did you know that?" he asked.

Loriel showed her guild crest. "I am a mage of Fairy Tail. We have obliterated the thief guild, Techno Blitz. That was the request. Correct?" The mayor nodded.

"Good. We would like our reward as soon as possible."Loriel stood up and pulled the mayor up.

Adam had just arrived. He looked around, "Where's Natsu-san?" Loriel looked around as well and shrugged.

As if on cue, Natsu burst out of the second floor, holding an unconscious mage, presumably from Techno Blitz.

Erza walked out as well as she exquiped to her normal attire. She noticed the other two mages and said, "We've cleaned out the place. I don't think there are any other enemies here." Adam nodded, "Thank you, Erza-san. Now, Mister Mayor, may I speak to you about the reward?" he pulled the mayor to the side.

Gray came through the door. "Haha! Gray, you're too late! I've already took care of all the enemies, slowpoke!" Natsu bellowed from above.

Natsu climbed over the railing and jumped down. "Shut up, you fire idiot. I needed to do something. And I bet Erza did most of the work." Gray taunted.

"What did you say? I did a lot!" Natsu said, reaching for Gray's collar. Of course, there was nothing to grab on to since Gray was naked. Butt-naked. "You pervert." Natsu added.

"What? Are you saying that Erza didn't do anything? Hey, Erza! Natsu said you…" Gray started to say as he looked up and stopped.

Erza was glaring down at them. Gray quickly slung his arm over Natsu. "Oi. What are you doing? Get off me!" Natsu said, trying to push him away.

"Shut up! Erza's looking!" Natsu froze for a moment and copied Gray's movements. All he could say was "Aye!" Up above, Erza's expression softened to a small grin.

But down here, Loriel and Vanilla was laughing and rolling on the ground at Natsu's expression.

"AHAHA. Lookie, Lori! The Salamander is acting like the blue cat! A human that acts like a cat! HA!" Vanilla said as he kicked his feet in the air.

Loriel was on the ground trying to suppress another session of laughter. "Okay… let's stop… Vanilla…" Loriel took a deep breath and looked at the two. She just burst into laughter again.

Then, Lucy came in to see the sights. Loriel and Vanilla were still on the floor and Natsu and Gray were still making the same face.

Erza was upstairs, walking around, opening each door to see if anyone else was still there.

Adam seemed to be done talking with the mayor and was shaking his hand. Adam turned around and saw Lucy. "Hello, Lucy-san. It seems that we are finished with business here. Shall we go home?" he asked her.

"Yeah. The landlady is waiting. I hope," she said. " Hey, Erza! We're leaving! Where did you put the magic vehicle?" Lucy shouted.

Loriel stopped laughing and stared at Lucy. Adam did the same. "M-magic vehicle?" Adam asked dubiously.

"Y-yeah. What's wrong?" Lucy asked. "Nothing. Uh, perhaps Loriel and I should fly back instead." Adam said excusing himself. "Oh no we don't." Chocolate suddenly appeared. "I am tired, and I am positive that we won't last all the way back. You have no choice Adam. We must take the vehicle." She said as she perched on Adam's head.

Loriel jumped in, "Aww… but…" "No buts. Now follow her to the vehicle." Chocolate said, pointing to Lucy.

"Fine." Both Adam and Loriel said, displeased.


The magic vehicle was on the edge of town.

Erza led them there and got in the driver's seat.

Natsu had to be pulled on to the roof by Gray since he resisted so much.

As for the two new dragon slayers, Adam had to be dragged on to the roof as well while Loriel managed to walk in to the cab.

Lucy closed the door behind them and said to Erza, "We're good to go!" The cab took off with amazing speed. But the down fall was that there were three streams of not so pleasant excretions coming from the roof and the window, leaving a trail.

"Can I ask you a question?" Lucy asked Loriel who just stuck her head back in from a window. She nodded.

"Why did you travel around, fighting guilds? What is your purpose?" Lucy questioned.

Before Loriel could answer, some barf hailed down on the floor outside from the roof. The two girls inside heard Gray yell, "You idiot! You're getting your puke all over me!"

They heard a moan from Natsu. "Hey, girlie. Can I ask you something as well? If you guys are dragon slayers, what happened to your dragons?" he managed to say before releasing another stream of puke.

Loriel decided to answer Natsu's question first. However, Natsu was too busy to make sense of Loriel's words. "Glacia, the ice dragon, disappeared one day. And Adam's dragon," she glanced at the hanging figure above and lowered her voice, "Adam's dragon, Kiran the light dragon, was killed."

Lucy let out a small gasp. "How?" she asked. Loriel bit her lip before she continued, "Kiran was killed by a black dragon. All that I can remember was that it was huge. It came to our mountain one day and started attacking. Glacia took me and Adam off the mountain to another safeheaven, while Kiran... Kiran stayed behind to fight the dragon. Glacia told us that Kiran would find us there if he was okay. He never came. We never saw him again. So as for why we are traveling, there are two reasons. One, to find the dragons. Glacia or the black dragon. Maybe even Kiran if he's actually alive. Two, to see the world I guess. Glacia had once told me to go see the world. 'There were many strong humans that even you may not be able to beat,' she said. Back then, I was such a child, never wanting to leave her and Adam's side. Now that she's gone, I kinda want to fulfill her words in a way, you know? So after she was gone, I had Adam train me. Sure, we had different powers, but there were the similarities. Around four years ago, we decided to leave our mountain. To fulfill both reasons, I proposed that I challenge the guilds, to see if there were any strong people or information on the dragons." Loriel managed to get out before having to stick her head out the window again.

"I see. Then I'm glad you came to Fairy Tail." Lucy said.

Loriel stuck a hand back in the carriage and formed a thumbs up. "Just one more thing." Lucy said after Loriel came back in. "What about your family?" she asked, seeing if the youth remembered anything about Gray.

Loriel breathed sharply before answering. "My family died in the hands of a monster that came to my village. My mom, dad, and brother all died in the rage. I was found unconscious and heavily injured under some ruble by Adam and Kiran who were scouting. They brought me to the mountains and introduced me to Glacia and they have been my family since." Loriel finished.

"Now if you don't mind, I'd like to take a nap." Loriel slowly lied down on the bench and closed her eyes, desperately trying to fight the nausea of the vehicle.

Lucy sighed and said, "Okay. Then come here. You can use my lap as a pillow. I'll even get a song for you. You're lucky that it is the second Wensday of the month." She said as she patted her lap. Loriel complied and rested her head on the mostly exposed thigh. Lucy took a silver key from her pouch and released the spirit. "Open the Gate of the Lyre. Lyra!" a spirit materialized to the form of a girl. "Lyra, can you sing a lullaby?" Lucy asked the spirit. "Of course!" the girl said bubbly.

Before she started playing her harp, Loriel spoke up, "I have a question." She said. The two others looked at her, anticipating the inquiry. "You said that she's the spirit of the Lyre constellation, correct?" she asked. Both nodded. "So why is she playing a harp instead of a lyre?" the question had been said. Lucy looked at Lyra while Lyra looked at Lucy. The issue had never been brought to their attention.

"Uh… just ignore the minor details. You look so sick, Loriel. Play, Lyra!" Lucy said quickly. Lyra started playing the soothing tune of Amazing Grace that hypnotized the young dragon slayer. Loriel yawned and drifted to sleep in Lucy's lap.

Up above, the soothing music had reached the other dragon slayer's ears and had them fall into a peaceful sleep. Except the sharp turns in Erza' s driving. But there was one person who stayed awake on the roof. Gray was sitting there crossed legged, looking out to the distant setting sun. He had heard the girl's conversation. Does she really think I'm dead? I guess that makes sense. I thought she was dead. Then, I am no longer part of her family? Has the two dragons and this guy replaced me and our parents? Gray just sat there the whole rid home, questioning his position.

A/N: First of all, I'd like to apologize a thousand times. One, for not updating for like four months, two, for giving you a shortish chapter, three, for being readdicted to Pokemon and Digimon again lately, four, for being pissed and angry at my major, five, for losing my USB so many times thus causing a real delay in updating, sixth, for be so out of touch with Fairy Tail for so long, and the list goes on and on. BUT. I must thank you for putting up with me and waiting for so long. So…. Did anyone guess who killed Kiran? They aren't OCs. My friend questions that if they really did kill dragons but until Mashima-sensei provides me with information on that, I think I have my mind set. So, please leave a review! Yell at me for updating so late for all I care! Go!

THANKS A LOT MASHIMA. UPDATING THE DAY RIGHT AFTER I PUBLISHED THIS CHAPTER. SERIOUSLY? UGHH. I THINK I MIGHT TRASH THIS CHAPTER. GOD DAMN IT.

APRIL 30TH: REVISED BECAUSE MASHIMA GAVE OUT NEW INFO SO THAT STING AND ROUGE WERE NOT ACCTUALLY KILLERS. THUS, I HAD TO CHANGE MY ANTAGONIST TO ACNOLOGIA. OH SHIT I JUST GAVE THAT AWAY.

So anyways, just when I was questioning the two dragon slayer's exsistince, god damn it, why couldn't the chapter be realased earlier. *Head banging on wall*Okay, what ever. So whoever already read it, please reread the long second to last parragraph.
