Chapter 8.
The morning was bright, the streets were full of people, the smell of freshly baked bread and the chippering of the birds made the walk in the streets of Magnolia a very pleasant activity to the black haired boy.
Akiya was walking slowly, savoring every sound and smell, a small smile was placed on his face. He remembered the times when he was a child in Uruk, how he walked with his father around the city, how the people greeted them, her remembered the smells and the structures and a small smile appeared on his face.
His mind wondered to his life in the last two years he was in this world, how different it is.. How difficult it was for him to except that Uruk was finished and how in his fear he lost his ability to fight and his dreams... He was so distracted that he didn't even notice the running pink haired boy in front of him till it was too late and with a thud the two wizards bumped into each other, making the young dragon slayer to lose his balance and fall and for the king to clutch his head.
Blinking several times, Akiya felt a strange sense of deja vu, as he cast his eyes on the dragon slayer.
" Oi! Look were you're going jerk!" the salmon haired boy raged on the young king, his eyes still not looking up as he inspected himself.
Akiya broke into a series of chuckles " Really Natsu? That's makes it a second time...".
NatsuNatsu looked up at the voice and squicked in surprise as he saw who he bumped into " Oh.. Akiya!" he called " How about you will come on a quest with us?" he asked hurriedly, his eyes darting around.
Lucy behind him paled as she heard what he asked " N-Natsu" she stuttered.
Akiya raised his eyebrow.. It was obvious to any child that they were hiding something.. But it wasn't really his problem now was it?
With a smile he nodded " Why not? It's sounds like a plan.. So what's our mission then?" he asked, he really didn't need money but he always looked for some entertainment.
" Oh.. Yeah it's a mission to dispel a curse on Galuna Island... They offer a crazy amount of money!" he called.
Akiya's smile growed.. That's definitely sounded interesting " Very well.. Let us go.. I guess you head to the Hargeon then? " he asked with a smile.
" Yes.. But we should get going.. We need to help those poor people " Lucy said trying to sound all heroic but failing miserably.
" Yes.. We should.. Let us be going... We have much to do " he said a smirk on his face, turning 180 degrees and moving toward the train station, the two wizards and the cat right behind him.

As they arrived to Hargeon, after giving Natsu a moment to recover from the train ride they headed to the port.
They moved between people, asking for a ride to the island only to be met with strict refusals.
" The cursed island? Do I look like I have a death wish? If you will listen to my advice.. Stay away from this accursed place" a ferryman told them seriously.
Lucy was shaking, and she felt her resolve weaken " Um.. Natsu.. Maybe that's not such a good idea after all" she spoke slowly, but was met with a darkly smirking face of the monarch of Uruk.
" Really Lucy? What about those poor people" he asked sarcastically, which made the girl to shut up.
" Well.. Maybe we should swim there!" the dragon slayer suggested.
" Not that I can't do that.. But I doubt our blonde freind will survive the treap" the black haired teen said casually " She will probably drown in the middle of the way.. Who knows maybe there are sharks who will try to eat her too?", his offhand comments made the girl to shiver and shrink into herself.
" You're right.. Well than what shall we do?" he asked the older boy who smirked in response.
" I do have a way of transportation.. But we will use it only if you two will promise me not to tell anyone about it.. Also Natsu.. You are going to have hell on it.. ".
The boy just smiled reassuringly " Huh.. Nothing can be as bad as trains! I am not scared " he flamboyantly declared.
" Well.. I think it's going to be alright.. So when can we use it? " Lucy asked as she desperately clang to the sudden solution they got.
" Right now... Let us just go to a more secluded .. I need some space " was the answer.
" Very well! Let us go!" the younger boy cried.
" Aye! "
" Hmm.. Don't say I didn't warn you " the king said as they walked out toward a side alley.
Xxxxxxxzzzzz
Lucy was on the her knees, vomiting her stomach out, from all the things she expected this was not one of them.
Her mind wondered to how she came to her current situation.
Their group of three wizards and a talking cat left the harbor toward one of the side alies, where they stood looking around, only for the black haired king to smile widely as the golden distortion of his magic appeared and out of it a construct came out.. One the likes of which she never saw or heard of.
It was a construct made of gold, with huge green appendages like wings attached to it. The majesmajestic construct had a seat in the middle of it toward which the boy moved and set down motioning them to move toward him " Well? What are you waiting for?" he asked as if annoyed.. But she knew he was enjoying their dumbfounded look.
Finally getting out of her shock she moved on it and the boy instructed her to use a belt which he gave her to fasten herself to the hand of the seat so she won't be sent flying off.
Natsu did the same, and looking around he spoke dissapointly " What is this thing?" he asked " It's so weird.. How can it move on the ground?".
The king chuckled " It doesn't" he said as his hands touched the control Pilar... And all of a sudden the thing taken to the air with such speed she felt her guts jumping out, on the other hand the aircraft flight was smooth.
And that's how she found herself here, on Galuna Island less than five minutes after they left, spilling the contents of her stomach out. Silently she cursed the boy who was standing on the side with a small smile on his face.
The dragon slayer on the other hand.. Was lying unconscious on the floor, his eyes closed and his breath rigid.
She pitied him.. His motion sickness was one of the most horrible cases... She didn't even want to think how he must felt to lose his consciousness.
Finally getting up, she approached the black haired boy, a snarl on her face and an urge to slap the boy on his face...but she restrained herself... She valued her life at least a bit after all.
Instead she looked darkly at him " This.. Was really unnecessary Akiya... You could've at least warned us first..." she snarled at him.
He looked amused at her " I did warn you didn't I now?" he asked with an annoying smirk, he suddenly moved his hands up as he stretched " Also it was necessary... After all somone needs to punish you for taking an S class mission without permission" he finished, his eyes boring into her.
The blonde shuddered before it registered what he said " You know?!" she asked surprised.
Her response was a snort " Of course I was just speculating but now I know for sure" he suddenly moved closer to her, his face an inch from hers " And I am sure you won't tell anyone right? After all you two just tricked me" he whispered.
Lucy took two steps back, fear visible on her face " O-of course" she said "We just tricked you to come with us..." she confirmed.
" I am glad we are on the same page... Now then let us see how is our third freind doing" and with those words he approached the unconscious boy and slowly moved his hand near his face, sending a jolt of prana into the other boy, which made him jump up as if he was stabbed.
" Calm down Natsu.. It's only me.. We arrived" he spoke calmly.
The wizard looked at him with fear " Akiya.. Please remind me not to annoy you or get on your bad side in any way or shape alright?" he begged.
" Aye!" Happy chipped in, his blue face had a green tint to it.
The black haired boy laughed good naturally " That's won't be a problem... In any case we should start moving.. As we were flying I saw a small village and a temple... I say we move toward the village first... The contractor will most likely be there".
" Makes sense..." the celestial wizard said when suddenly she caught on to something " Wait just a moment... You saw? As we were flying?" her voice couldn't fully deliver her feelings of surprise " How the hell could you see anything!?" she asked.
" That's a secret " the older boy replied before he started to walk toward the village, not even sparing a glance back, from the moment he came something felt odd and it was working on his nerves.

Grey was standing in the harbor, his eyes scanning the area looking for the two unruly wizards of his guild.. He really hoped he will be able to intercepte them. Otherwise the guild master would most likely send her... He shuddered just at the thought.
"Excuse me sir" he asked one sailor after making sure he himself had all his clothes on " Did you perhaps saw a kid with a pink hair? Or maybe a blonde rude girl?" he asked hopefully.
The man narrowed his eyes in concentration, before nodding slowly " Yes indeed.. Two people matching the description came here.. Looked for a transportation to the cursed Galuna island... Well I told them like that lad.. I am not coming any closer to the cursed place that's how I told him lad.. Not me nor anyone else in their right state of mind..Shiver me timbers if those two went there " he finished before turning around and walking away.
Grey cursed.. They definitely came here.. But they weren't around.. The only conclusion was that they already left toward the island which wasn't good.
But without any other choice the ice wizard moved toward the local lacrima call center and after paying the fee he contacted the master.
"Master Makarov.. I am afraid they already left toward the island.. What should I do?" he asked, hoping that the old man won't send him there.
The old man on the other side was furious as he muttered under his breath about punishment and how they will regret the moment they stole the contract. Finally calming down he turned to the lacrima again " Very well Grey.. In that case wait there I'll be sending Mira to help... When she will arrive you will both head to the island..." the man said.
"But Master... I don't have a means of transportation..."
" I doubt that will be a problem.. I am sure the She devil will be able to come up with something..." and with those words and a drunk smile on his face the connection was cut.
Grey could definitely imagine what the take over wizard would come up with.. In his mind he pitied the man who is going to be the target of the scorn of the famous she devil .
With a resigned sighe he went to a small bar not far from the call center and ordered something to drink while he waited for the other fairy tail wizard to arrive.

The stood in front of the village which made the young king scoff, this place wasn't really a village.. As even villages were bigger than this in Uruk.. No this was more of a settlement than anything. The structures were nothing if not primitive, even the wall was made of primitive materials.
Slowly the group approached the gates of the village, and were stopped by a pair of guards who looked at them suspiciously "Halt! Who are you? What is your purpose of coming here?!" one of the guards asked darkly, his eyes narrowed suspiciously.
" We are fairy tail wizards... We are here for the quest" the black haired man spoke authoritivley.
The guards face brightened "Oh.. Thanks goodness somone finally arrived.. We were waiting for so long.. Please forgive us our behavior.. We will escorts you now to the elder" he said with a huge smile.
Akiya narrowed his eyes... There was something wrong here.. He could feel it in his very bones, and it worried him greatly.
As they walked, the king took a closer view of the village. The people were dressed archaicaly, in something that reminded him of native american shamans. Instinctively he used structure analysis to try to determine if there was something wrong with the village itself and suddenly he froze on his place.
Looking around wildly the wizard tried te decide what to do. The two other wizards saw their third and undoubtedly strongest member freeze on his place, stopped their movement as well.
" Akiya? Is everything alright?" the blonde decided to ask the king.
But he didn't answer, instead hehe approached one of the guards with them, the man turned around, his black hair moving slightly with his move looked at him questionly.
" Tell me right now " the wizard spoke darkly, which made the guard to take several steps back " What exactly going on here? Who are you people?" he asked.
The man blinked "We are the villagers who requested the mission.. Why do you ask?" the man asked, confusion written all over his face.
" Tell me the truth!" the wizard snarled " Your entire structure is one of demons!".
The two other wizards blinked slowly when it suddenly downed on them what their freind just said and with this realization they moved into battle positions.
The guard hurriedly put his hands up " Please calm down... That's exactly why we called you here.. Please just come with me to the elder.. He will explain everything" the man's voice was pleading.
Akiya narrowed his eyes and looked at his two freinds with a question in his eyes.
Natsu just blinked at him dumbly, but the girl nodded showing her approval.
" Very well... We will come with you.. But believe me if this is a trap you will pay dearly... I fought much more dangerous enemies than a bunch of demons" he said as he continued to walk.
The guard nodded gratefully, a look of relief washed on his face.
It took them several more min to get to the elders house. The guard approached the door and wanted to knock only for the door to open and strike him on the face.
The elder was an old man of short stature, his head was bold and he was wearing a sort of shaman attire.. Also in his hand a long staff was held.
" Welcome fairy tail wizards and hopefully our saviors... Thank you for coming..." he spoke with a phatos which made a tick mark form on the black haired king braw.
" Let me tell you of our horrible fate...For some times now every night our people are becoming demons... We do not know what to do for although most of us return to normal when the day comes some of us stay in the same condition and we are forced to kill them... " the man's face was full of sorrow which made the dragon slayer to jump in.
" We will help you! "he said enthusiastically.
" Yes we will.. Just please tell us what you want us to do.. And when did it start " Lucy said reluctant.
Akiya stood there, his eyes narrowed and said nothing.
" It's started when the moon became purple... From that day our curse started.. Our request is for you to destroy the moon! " the elder said.
Lucy stood there her eyes wide and mouth open " D-destroy the moon?" she asked surprise and disbelief in her voice.
Before the man could answer he was interrupted by the black haired boy" Bullshit " he spat" This is all one big Bullshit.. Destroy the moon.. What kind of idiots are you? Do you have any idea how huge the moon is? Or how important it is for the world? Also " his voice became icy cold" That's has nothing to do with the moon I am sure of it... Your entire body is demonic! Even now! There is no magic which can made a human into a demon partially and to be reverted.. I am sure of it! In any case we will help you.. But I need to think and I am not staying here for another moment.. So I will be outside thinking of the situation. You two are more than welcome to do whatever you please " he said darkly as he stormed out toward the exit.
The old man looked shocked" I - I " he tried to say something but couldn't.
" Please don't take it hard... Akiya can be sometimes like that... I am sure he meant no offense to you he was just shaken... "
" Oh.. Alright as long as he will help us... I must thank you for your help as well.. Please feel free to do whatever you want.. If you need to know anything please let me know " he spoke and after he bowed he went back inside, leaving the two to their actions.
" Well Natsu... I guess we should go explore? " she said uncertainly" Akiya did say something about a temple right? "
"Lets do that!" the dragon slayer called "I am all fired up now!"
" Aye sir!"
