THE DRAGON SLAYER AND THE FAIRY
Chapter nine.
With crimson wings we fly.
Raven's POV. Midnight, two days after leaving Fairy Tail.
We've made good progress on our journey to clover. Only one more day on foot and we'll be in clover. Mira is asleep with her head in my lap with Lilith in her arms. Erza and Crow are holding each other while whispering about stars. Natsu and Lisanna are hugging under a tree with happy in their arms.
"If you keep following us like you have done for the last twelve hours, I'll treat you like a threat to my pack." A council member walked out into our campsite. "My appologises, I didn't know dragon slayer's sences were that powerful." "Accepted, now what do you want?" At this point he notices that all of the group are awake and alert. "We at the council, were wondering what you all planning on doing now your not Fairy Tail mage's anymore?" "None of your business, but we will be forming a guild of our own. Now leave!" I growl startling the poor man so much, he runs back through the tree line.
Natsu's POV. Dawn.
I awaken from my dream of me and Lisanna to screams ringing out in the forest. I look around the camp and notice Crow and Raven missing. I pull free my bladed tonfa and charge into the forest, following the screams. "ROYAL DRAGONS ROAR!" "ULTIMA DRAGONS ROAR!" I burst through the tree's as the two roars carve the forest in two. Raven walks towards me and pats my shoulder. "So you were the only one brave enough huh?" "Yep! What's going on?" "Trader caravan got hit by a bandit clan. The bandit clan lost badly." She smirks after saying that. Crow is talking to the trader about traveling to clover together. "How's Lisanna after leaving?" Raven asks quietly. "She good, just,, she gets nervous in new places. Once we settle down again I'm sure that she'll be fine again." I smile at her. "OK, thanks Natsu." "No probs. Let's go check the bandits for loot!" She smiles and nods, leading the way to a group of unconscious bandits.
When we reach the bandit's, the thing we notice first is the fact that several people of the group had salmon coloured hair. "Hmm, weird. Oh well let's get them tied up and we'll question later." I nod and she uses her magic to create an ice chain. "You! stand here now!" She orders one of the burly men. He tries to intimidate her until she draws her katana and holds it to his throat. "Now!" She growls dangerously. He nods rapidly, scared out of his mind. We disarm and chain up the badits, we separate the four pink haired from the main group. "Hey Raven, what did you mean by starting a new guild?" "Yeah, we'll put the HQ near clover when we get there. All we need after that is a name." "How about The Phoenixes Flames?" "Hmm. That's a good one, better then mine." "Why, what was yours?" "Crimson Wings. Doesn't feel quite right." "Yeah, I get what you mean. Or it could be Phoenix Rising." "I like that one better. We'll ask the others what they think when we get back to the camp." "Ask us what?" Mira and Erza pipe up beside us, causing Raven and I to jump. "Shit. Mira stop sneaking up on me." "But your in the camp." Causing us to look around and a few of the group to giggle at us.
Lisanna walks up with two plates of food. "Here you are Raven, Natsu." "Thanks, how are you Lisa?" "I'm good, they kinda look like you." I nod at her statement. "I think I know the two girls, but I don't know the man." "You should talk to them, they seem to know you." She suggests, pointing to the two pinkettes, I nod and walk over to the pair. "Can I talk to you two?" They look at each other before nodding. "Yes but only in our tounge." That's when the other speaks. "Axun, yth geou ergriff renthisj persvek hesi tounge." (Yes, but only in our tounge.) I nod and start speaking draconian. "Wvabol re dout ominaki?" (What are your names?) "Sia ominak ui Natsumi, jacioniv ominak ui Natasha." (My name is Natsumi, her name is Natasha.) Says the older looking girl. "Sia ominak ui Natsu, vur nomenoi xiekivi re sia thurirli vur svihelen." (My name is Natsu, and these people are my friends and family.) I say with a bright smile. "Throdenilti di wer xiekivi tenpiswo re kema ini usv re gewjtok darastrix." (Most of these people here are trained or are actual dragons.) Raven says behind me. "What?! Most are dragon slayer's or actual dragons?!" Says Natsumi shocked! Me and Raven nod in response to her question. "Though it was nice to hear the old tounge again." Raven says with a soft smile on her face. "So, who are you lot's dragons?" Natasha asks. "My dragon is Igneel, Raven and Crow's is Bahamut, Wendy, the blue haired younger girl is Grendeeney, Lupin and Shadow, the two black haired boys with swords on their backs is Tricentina, the slayer power coming from the six year old is ice dragon slayer taught by Raven." "Our dragons name is Atlas Flame. We trained for years with him and a girl named Flare, they were our first friends, but we never got to finish because these guys kidnapped us." Says Natsumi with a saddened face and a tear rolling down her cheek. "I can teach what you haven't learned, if you tell us your last name." "Dragneel." "You two are Dragneels as well?" They nod and look up at me. "We remember you Natsu, you got captured defending us from slavers. We thought we'd never see you again." Natasha answers with tears in her eyes I reach over to my two sisters and pull them into a hug.
Raven's POV. Four hours after Natasha and Natsumi arrived.
"ALRIGHT PEOPLE! GET PACKED UP AND READY TO MOVE! WE LEAVE IN THIRTY!" I yell at the group. Lilith and Mira come up to me. "Can I sit on your shoulders please?" Lilith asks me and I smile at her. "Of course you can baby girl." I pick her up and place her on my shoulders then pick up my pack. Mira takes my hand then we scout out the path ahead of us. On our return the groups ready to move while Natsu, Lisanna, Natasha and Natsumi have the prisoners secured and ready to move. "Alright, let's go!" With that we start out for clover.
Two hours later and we're at the forest bordering Clover. Lilith jumps off of my shoulders and walks in between me and Mira. "Stay close Lily, Valcons live here." I say quietly. She nods and holds Mira's hand tightly. The Vulcan's are tailing us, I can hear and smell them creeping through the forest. I slow down and draw level to Natasha. "Take this for me, they're closing in." I say to her, passing her my pack.
I notice Erza, Crow, Natsu, Igneel and Bahamut getting ready to fight. We all nod at each other and separate and form a circle around our group. Mira and Lilith is near the centre of the group with the exceeds, Wendy, Sara and Draken. The prisoners are positioned to act like a sheild if any get past us. The first Valcons crash through the tree line to be met with dragon talons from Crow, Natsu and Crow. Three charge straight at me, I draw my katana and put some of my lightning magic into the blade. When their grouped together, I slash the blade towards them twice. The two blade of lightning speed towards them, they dodge the first but the seconded hit them head on the first hits two behind them. Three more are nearly upon me so I double spin kick the flanking ones, then axe kick the middle one into the floor. Five more charge from the trees, one has a axe. I open palm strike the ground, creating the ground to erupt like a wave towards them. The first two get smashed by the wave while the next three jump over it. I turn my body into fire and charge. Flying side kicking the first then using him to vault higher into the air I spinkick the second into the nearest tree. I slide under the axe head speeding towards me then vault up and dropkick him, instantly knocking him out.
I look around and see no more trying to attack us, so I walk back towards the group. "Are you OK?" Lilith asks me worrying. "I'm OK lil one. What about you?" "I'm ok, I had draken protecting me." "Hey! What about me little dragon?" Mira asks, fake hurt in her voice. "No! I was protecting you!" Lilith shouted excitedly. I put Lilith back on my shoulders and take Mira's hand. "Come on, we're closer then I thought."
Two hours later and we're in the centre of Clover. Osaka runs up to us and hugs us all. "We're all set up. We just need a name." "Phoenix Rising!" Most of the group cheered excitedly, Osaka laughs softly. "Well I guess we should show you all our new home." Said Persetha as she comes from behind the fountain. They lead us to where our guild is sited and we gasp. They've extended it again.
They've added a blacksmith, bakers, a clothes store, extended the library and bedrooms by three times the size and added a general guild area. Mira and my room is like a little house now, having several rooms including a kitchen, two bathrooms, three bedrooms and an armoury. Lilith runs into one of the bedrooms and immediately claims it as hers. Me and Mira smile softly as she starts getting decorating idea's. Mira leads me to the master bedroom and kisses me softly. "We need to test the bed and walls." She says with a sultry smile.
