I do not own any of the original Fairy Tail characters.
History
"My story's...not really the happiest," Sado began, those around him listening intently, Mira's gaze rising from the table to his face. "If it's alright with you, I'll skip the very beginning, for the most part. All you need to know about it is that my earliest memory is waking up on fire after having burned down my entire hometown and everyone in it, including my family. I wandered for days until I reached Fairy Tail. While I was wandering, I was still on fire, so, you can imagine I wasn't too popular. Once I reached Magnolia, Mira found me and led me to the Guild Hall. Master Makarov greeted me at the door and placed a suppressing spell on me so that I wouldn't set anything on fire, then gave me a bed and some food.
"After that, he had Mira try and teach me control, since my condition seemed to act a little like Mira's own powers did at first. Well, actually the first thing he did was try and have me control them myself after releasing the suppressor spell. It…didn't go well. I lost control and ended up trying to fight both him and Mira."
"That must have been a painful experience for you," Lucy grinned.
"Actually, he was able to hold his own against me relatively evenly," Mira said. "And he took a blow from Master like it was nothing more than a slap to the face. He only stopped fighting when Master sealed his power again."
"Oh wow!" Lucy said. "Then without your powers suppressed, you must be one of the strongest wizards in the guild."
"Even with them suppressed he's one of the strongest," Levy said. "Without them suppressed, only Master Makarov is stronger."
Mira's face fell at the same memory that flashed through Sado's head.
"No," Sado said. "Without them suppressed, I'm nothing but a monster."
Lucy and Juvia's faces contorted in confusion, while Mira opened her mouth to argue the point, only to stop herself, knowing how little good it would do. Levy, being the only other person to already know what happened, started at him in concern.
"Anyway," Sado said, "after that Mira and I spent pretty much every day together while she trained me to control my ability. One memory that stands out the most is one of the times Mira tried to have me spar against her to test my control."
Sado stepped out of the city, stopping in the usual training area, finding Mira waiting in her devil form.
"We're going to be sparring today," Mira said.
"Why?" Sado asked.
"Firstly, to test your control," Mira said. "And secondly, because I've beaten everyone in the guild at least once besides you, and I can't let that stand. So today, you and I are going to prove which of us is stronger. At least as you are now."
"But...I don't want to hurt...anyone," Sado said, staring at the ground, images of his family's corpses running through his head.
"You're a wizard," Mira said. "Eventually you'll have to fight, so you might as well learn to do it against someone you know you won't be able to kill as easily as one of the weaker members."
Sado was silent for a moment before looking up at her worriedly. "Promise you won't get hurt?"
Mira stared at him for a long moment before nodding. "Yes. I promise."
Sado nodded and closed his eyes, focusing on his flames, allowing both hands to ignite, flames shooting high into the sky.
"Ready," Mira said. "Begin!"
Sado's arm snapped up, a jet of flames shooting out of his palm at Mira, who shot out of the way, flying straight at him and slamming her fist into his jaw. He shot backward, bouncing once before flipping, landing on his feet. Mira fired a beam of dark energy at him and he held out both hands, beginning to block it. Then, his flames went out all at once. He shouted in surprise and fear, trying desperately to restart them, but nothing happened. He looked up at the beam of energy, now too close to avoid. Suddenly, Mira was in front of him, shouting in pain as the blast hit her instead. As the dust began to settle, she looked back at him, burned and panting but smiling.
"You okay?" Mira asked.
"You...you're...hurt," Sado said, falling to his knees. "I...I'm sorry. I didn't mean..."
"Hey, it's alright," Mira said, kneeling in front of him. "It was my fault for putting so much power into my attack."
"You...you promised," Sado said, tears rolling down his cheeks before flames exploded to life over his body, Mira leaping away instantly, forming a second dark sphere but waiting. "You liar!"
He raised his hands, firing a stream of flame and Mira launched her blast back, only for the explosion to hurl her. Just as she crashed to the ground, Sado appeared over her, pinning her and raising on hand, flames building up in front of it. Mira stared at him in fear and the faces of all the others who had been afraid of him flashed through his mind, images of his home mixed in with them. The flames dwindled and he held his hands to his face, trembling as tears slipped out from under them.
"I...I'm sorry," he sobbed. "Please...don't...don't look at me like that."
After a moment, Mira shifted back into her human form, sitting up and hugging him.
"Aaawww," all of the girls around them said.
"It wasn't anything romantic," Sado said. "None of the story really is. Anyway, that was the last time Mira and I fought for a while, at least until I had decent control over my abilities."
"That sounds like a fair idea," Lucy nodded.
"It was," Sado said. "Anyway, as we began to grow up together, Mira always looked out for me, just like she did Lisanna and Elfman. She may have been the guild bully, or one of the two..." he glanced at Erza. "...but she was always patient and understanding with me. I'm not sure if it was because she actually cared or because she was afraid of facing my wrath."
"At first it was a mix of the two, but by the time that thing with my hands happened, it was mostly because I cared," Mira smiled.
"'Thing with my hands?'" Lucy asked. "That sounds...inappropriate."
"It most definitely wasn't sexual," Sado said. "Actually, it's the next thing that really sticks out in my mind. I had lost control of my flames again, first time in a while...so it scared me."
Sado heard Mira's voice shouting from the kitchen and headed that way, tears leaking from his eyes and getting halfway down his cheeks before evaporating as he struggled to stop the flames spreading down his legs, his entire torso, both arms, and his head already covered. He stopped in the doorway to the kitchen, where Mira and Erza were fighting.
"Mira," Sado said, voice trembling. "I...I can't..."
Mira was standing in front of him instantly, Erza completely forgotten. "Hey, it's alright, Sado. You just have to calm down. It's going to be okay."
"I...I can't!" Sado cried. "I can't stop them!"
"You can," Mira smiled. "Just focus on me."
"I can't! I don't want to hurt you!"
"You won't," Mira smiled. "You control your flames, remember? You've done it a million times."
"I can't! It's different this time!"
"Sado," Mira said, reaching for his hands, which were still held in front of him, only for him to step away, keeping his hands there. "Sado, it's okay."
"No! I'll hurt you!"
"You won't. You won't hurt me." Mira stepped forward, smiling and slowly lowering her hands into the flames, taking his hands.
As she did, she smiled up at him, Sado looking up into her eyes. He sniffed, looking back at their hands, finding that his flames had gone out entirely. His eyes widened in surprise and joy and he threw his arms around her, Mira smiling and hugging him back.
"You see?" Mira whispered. "I'm fine."
"It was only after that that I found out that she had actually been burned so badly that she had to go to Porlyusica. I was so distraught that I actually ran away."
Sado sniffed, curling into a ball, listening to the rain hissing as it reached his ceaseless flames and evaporated. He couldn't even cry properly, as usual. A sob managed to force its way out, and just like that, he was sobbing again. He heard several leaves and twigs crunch under someone's foot and scrambled backward into his cave, lower lip quivering in fear as the footsteps neared his cave's entrance.
"Sado!?" Macao's voice called out.
"Sado!" Erza shouted.
Bits of dirt tumbled from above the cave and Sado remained silent. Then, Erza and Macao stepped into view.
"There you are," Erza smiled. "We've been looking everywhere for you."
"No! Stay away!" Sado said. "I don't want to hurt anybody else."
"Sado, it's time to come home," Erza said, stepping forward.
"Stay away!" Sado said, covering his head as his flaming shroud launched a fireball at her.
Macao grabbed her, yanking her to the side, but the fireball caught her hand and Erza shouted in pain.
"No! Erza!" Sado said, cowering even deeper into his corner, sobbing again. "I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! I can't come back."
"What happened?" Natsu's voice asked.
"He attacked me!" Erza snapped.
"Let me see," a voice Sado knew well said, making his breath catch in his throat.
No. Not her. Not here. Not now! Please! I can't hurt her again!
"Erza you big baby!" Mira scoffed. "That's no worse than touching the stove!"
"That's not the point!" Erza said. "He attacked me! He's a threat to the guild!"
"He's not a threat to anyone!" Mira snapped. "He's just scared! How would you feel if you were on fire and couldn't put it out? Now stay here and stop whining about a blister. Gray, give her some ice so she'll shut up."
Then, Mira stepped into the cave, smiling sadly when she saw just how afraid Sado was.
"Hey Sado," Mira said. "Are you okay?"
"Stay back!" Sado sobbed. "I don't want to hurt you again!"
"You didn't hurt me," Mira said.
"I burned you!" Sado shouted. "I know you went to Porlyusica! Macao told me everything!"
"Macao!" Mira shouted. "We're going to have a discussion about your choice of conversation later!" Mira sighed, turning back to Sado and smiling, holding her hands out so he could see. "I'm fine now, see? Not even a mark left. And I know you're not going to hurt me again."
As she had been talking, she had been slowly walking forward before finally sitting down on her knees in front of him. She held her hand out, smiling sweetly.
"I know you won't hurt me, because you're afraid of it," Mira said. "That means you care. Just like I do."
He stared at her, eyes widening. His flames began to slowly die out as he stared between her face and her hand.
"You're not going to hurt anyone anymore, because you care," Mira said. "You know what it's like to lose people you care about, and what it's like to be hurt, so you don't want to do it to anyone else. So, you won't. And if you lose control again, I'll be there to help you. I'll always be there to help you. You're important to me, Sado. I promise you I'll always be there for you when you need me. You just need to trust me."
He sniffed, staring down at his hands. It wasn't what he wanted to hear. But she did care. Maybe someday…
"Please don't let me hurt you again," Sado said, tears beginning to fall down his cheeks. "I can't take that again."
Mira nodded, moving her hand a little closer to him. He sniffed before tentatively reaching out to hers, Mira closing her fingers around his once their hands met.
"See?" Mira smiled. "I told you. You're not going to hurt me."
"But...I can't..."
Mira smiled and shook her head. "That's enough. You're not alone, Sado. You don't have to go through this alone. I'm here. I've always been here. So, no matter what happens, even if no one else is there for you, I will be."
Sado nodded after a moment.
"Now let's go home," Mira smiled. "It's almost time for dinner."
Sado stared at her before nodding again, smiling weakly and pulling her into a hug. Mira smiled, hugging him back before pulling him up and walking out of the cave with him, their fingers laced together.
"AAWW! ! !" all the girls cheered, Sado staring at the table and Mira staring at him, covering her mouth.
"But, Mira, if that was right after what happened to your hands, weren't you even the least bit afraid of being burned?" Lucy asked.
"Not at all," Mira said, looking over at her. "I knew he wouldn't hurt me. The whole reason for him running away was because he was upset that he did."
"But what if he did?" Juvia asked.
"Then I would have gotten it treated later," Mira shrugged. "Honestly the thought of 'What if' never crossed my mind. It wouldn't have changed anything, honestly."
"AAWW! ! !" the girls all said again.
"It wasn't like that," Sado said. "You're forgetting that this isn't a story about us getting together."
Everyone at the table fell silent for a long moment, the mood crashing to the ground.
"So, after that you pretty much had control, I take it?" Juvia asked, both Mira and Sado's face falling instantly and the mood plummeting even further, Lucy and Juvia glancing at each other.
"I..." Sado trailed off, looking to Mira who nodded once.
"It's alright," Mira said.
"I lost control completely one other time," Sado said, voice thick with emotion. "It was the same mission that Lisanna died on. It's my fault she's dead."
"Sado..." Mira said, but still didn't both arguing, since she knew he wouldn't listen.
"What happened?" Juvia asked after a moment, watching as both stared at the table, lost in the memory.
"It just...went wrong," Sado said. "All of it did. Natsu actually asked to come with us. We should have taken him. Hell, we should have taken everyone."
Everyone sat in silence, waiting for him to continue. After a moment, he inhaled deeply then sighed.
"We were going to subdue a monster known as the Beast, who was rampaging through a town," Sado said. "Given the trail of destruction it left, we found it pretty easily. Our plan was for us to drive it out of the town first, then subdue it. but...it wasn't afraid of Mira's devil transformation. It wasn't afraid of Lisanna's animal transformations. It definitely wasn't afraid of Elfman's one-armed transformations. But it was afraid of fire. Or, at least, it knew to be careful around fire."
Sado jumped, flipping and bringing a stream of flame down to the ground, sending a wall of flames toward the Beast. The Beast roared, leaping out of the way and Sado shot a blast ahead of it, making it leap backward. Sado shot forward, sending a pair of walls of flame at it. It roared, clapping its hands and scattering the flames. Sado sped forward, flames trailing from his fists before skidding to a stop, slamming his fists into the ground, a fissure tearing along the ground at the Beast, flames bursting out of it at the Beast. The Beast leapt over it, roaring, and Mirajane appeared in front of it, firing a beam of dark energy into its face.
It crashed to the ground, motionless, and Sado lit his hand on fire as Mira slowly inched toward it. Just as she reached it, its eyes snapped open. Sado launched a fireball but the Beast grabbed Mira. Sado's eyes flew wide open.
"Mira!" He shouted, at the same time as she folded her wings in front of herself, the fireball exploding.
He shot forward, the Beast leaping away and Mira dropping to her hands and knees, coughing and waving the smoke away, her wings mangled and scorched.
"Mira, I'm so...I didn't mean to! I swear!"
"I know," She smiled, cupping his cheek. "That thing's more intelligent than it looks. Be careful."
Sado nodded, standing and turning to it, jumping and beginning to rapidly launch fireballs at it. The Beast roared, leaping around and avoiding them, the fireballs exploding all over the village, but Sado no longer cared. His body was enveloped in flames and he was out for blood. He shot toward the Beast, swinging his arms forward, a pair of massive walls of flames shooting past him and exploding, hurling the Beast backward into a house. It stood, roaring as Sado jumped into the air over it, pulling his arms back over his head then throwing them forward, a massive ball of fire launching at the Beast, exploding against the now empty house. He landed beside the house, seeing the Beast running down the road and sent a massive wall of flames after it. It cut left through a back alley and Sado blasted the ground, hurling himself into the air before he began to fall after the Beast. He landed in front of it, both hands on the ground and a massive explosion went off under the Beast, hurling it through three buildings and to the edge of town. As it took a step inward, Sado began to blast the street with twin jets of flame from the roof of a building nearby, heedless of the fact that he was also igniting the building he was on and four buildings around where he was hitting. The Beast turned, running out of the city and Sado shouted in rage, chasing him, his flames reaching higher by the minute.
"Big Sis, Sado's out of control! Again!" Elfman said.
"Don't you start that now!" Mira said.
"He's a monster!" Elfman said.
"HE'S NOT A MONSTER! ! !" Mira shouted, turning to Elfman. "If he's a monster, so am I!"
"Big Sis..."
"Evacuate anyone still in the village!" Mira ordered. "Let me worry about Sado."
Elfman hesitated and Lisanna took his hand.
"Mira can handle it," Lisanna said. "Sado won't hurt her."
Elfman stared after Sado before nodding. Mira turned back to the flames shooting into the air in the distant rock quarry. She looked back at her ruined wings and sighed, shaking her head before running after them. As she reached the quarry, she stopped, watching as the Beast hurled a boulder at Sado, who blasted it aside, using his other hand to blast the Beast into the side of the cliff.
"Sado!" Mira shouted, running toward him. "That's enough Sado! You can stop now!"
"Go away!" he shouted, blasting the ground in front of her, stopping her in her tracks.
"Sado you don't have to do this!"
"I'm going to tear him apart!"
"Sado stop! Please!" Mira pleaded, forming a dark sphere in her hands.
Sado roared, sprinting forward, only to stop when Mira's blast tore through the ground in front of him. However, in the same instance that he stopped, he spun, sending a wall of fire at her. Mira dove out of the way, staring him in the eye. The blast had been a warning shot, meant to stop him but never to hurt him. But when she looked in his eyes, all she could see was hurt. Betrayal. Pain. And so, it didn't surprise her when he roared, the flames on his hands forming into claws as he shot toward her.
"Wait, you attacked Mira?" Lucy gaped.
Sado stared at the table, shame and grief filling his expression, eyes swimming in their sockets. "Attacking Mira wasn't the worst thing I did."
Sado roared, sprinting forward, only to stop when Mira's blast tore through the ground in front of him. However, in the same instance that he stopped, he spun, sending a wall of fire at her. Mira dove out of the way, staring him in the eye. The blast had been a warning shot, meant to stop him but never to hurt him. But when she looked in his eyes, all she could see was hurt. Betrayal. Pain. And so, it didn't surprise her when he roared, the flames on his hands forming into claws as he shot toward her. Mira ducked out of the way of his claws, smashing her tail into him and hurling him aside, then crossing her arms as the Beast smashed its hand into her entire body, blasting her backward into a cliff. Sado roared in rage, shooting forward and punching it, sending it blasting into the cliff. He leapt at it, slashing and it yanked its head sideways, a single claw splitting its face down through the right eye.
The Beast spun, slamming a kick into Sado and he flipped, landing on his feet and rocketing forward. Before he could reach the Beast, Mira stepped into the way, tears streaming down her face, a dark sphere in her hands.
"I'm so sorry Sado," Mira said, blasting him.
He flew backward, watching in almost slow motion as the Beast appeared behind her, swiping her aside, sending her blasting into the cliff again. Then, Sado blasted into the cliff himself, crashing to the ground in an unconscious heap. Mira sprinted to his side instantly, quickly making sure she hadn't hurt him permanently. Then, the Beast stepped up behind her, grabbing Mira, lifting her and roaring, beginning to crush her. Mira screamed in agony and shifted back into her human form. Then, Elfman slammed his metal fist into the Beast's face, making it stagger backward, hurling Mira. Elfman leapt onto the Beast, beginning to glow purple. The Beast roared, driving his claws into Elfman's back, but the purple light spread to the Beast anyway. Then, Elfman sank into the Beast, the light shining blindingly bright for a moment before flashing even brighter, kicking up a cloud of dust. As the dust began to settle, the Beast stepped forward, slapping Sado aside just as he was beginning to stand, then stomping on him.
"No, Elfman!" Mira shouted. "Snap out of it!"
Elfman roared, beginning to stomp toward Mira. As he did, a colorful bird landed beside Mira, transforming into Lisanna.
"I had everyone in town evacuate," Lisanna said. "Now let me help you!"
"You have to run Lisanna," Mira said. "It's dangerous. Sado and I were getting beat up pretty bad, so Elfman tried to take over the Beast to protect me."
"Oh my gosh," Lisanna gasped. "That's him?"
"It almost worked," Mira said. "But the Beast was too powerful for him. Now he's totally lost control."
"Oh no," Lisanna said, helping Mira to her feet. "What do we do? How can we save him?"
"We have to get him to come to his senses before the Beast completely takes over his soul," Mira said.
Lisanna released Mira, walking forward as Mira fell back to her knees.
"What are you doing!?" Mira demanded. "Come back here!"
"Big Brother Elf?" Lisanna asked. "Are you feeling okay? It's me, Lisanna, your little sister. Our big sister Mira is here too."
Elfman cocked his head to the side.
"We're a family, and when times are tough, we pull together and work things out," Lisanna continued, smiling up at him. "So why don't the three of us go home and talk about what happened today? I promise we're not mad at you."
The Beast raised an arm, roaring.
"Come on," Lisanna said, standing with her feet spread and arms out to the sides. "Don't be afraid big brother. We still love you."
Then, the Beast swung. However, before he could hit her, a jet of pure white flames exploded into its chest, sending it exploding into the cliff behind it as Sado rose, flames forming clawed hands and feet, spikes on his elbows and knees, and a few other extras. Lisanna and Mira stared at him in shock, never having seen him transform this far before. The seal Makarov had placed on him spread outward from him and shattered and he roared, flames exploding from around him, raining back down as fireballs, exploding indiscriminately around the quarry. As the explosions ended, the Beast charged at Sado, roaring, only for Sado to grab it by the throat, slamming it into the ground and rapidly slamming punch after punch into its face. Blow after blow landed, and still Sado continued, a deafening roar ringing out as he did. The Beast shone, shrinking back down into Elfman, but Sado didn't even slow down. Finally, Mira tackled him off of Elfman, pinning him to the ground, tears flooding down her face.
"Please!" Mira sobbed. "Just stop!"
Sado roared, an explosion hurling her off of him. He stood, roaring at her and she began to sob harder.
"I'm sorry!" Mira sobbed. "Please! I didn't mean to hurt you! I was trying to save you!"
He roared again and hurled a massive fireball, however, Lisanna stepped into its path, about halfway between them, face twisted into a horrible combination of terror and acceptance as she braced for the inevitable. Then, the fireball exploded and sent her body rag dolling through the air. Mira screamed and Sado froze, staring wide-eyed after Lisanna as the flames faded to a bonfire around him. Then, he collapsed, entire body going numb as he lay on the ground. He could see where Lisanna had landed and began to sob as he watched Mira and Elfman, who had stirred during the explosion, pleading with Lisanna to stay with them. However, he couldn't move. His whole body was numb, and his vision was beginning to darken. Within a few more seconds, he was unconscious.
"By the time I woke up, the town had...the town had burned to the ground, and we were partway back to Fairy Tail already," Sado said. "I was going to turn myself in, but Mira and Elfman blamed it all on the Beast, and I got off Scot free. At least, legally. Mira never knew this but...I went back to the town. Counted the bodies. She had spent days trying to convince me that I didn't hurt anyone in my rampage. I don't know how many people survived...but...there were over a hundred charred corpses. Technically, there was no way to tell how they died, but I knew. There was no way the Beast had killed them all."
"You went back?" Mira asked, eyes wide.
"I had to know," Sado said. "And even without them…I killed Lisanna. Whatever anyone might say about me, or what Mira might tell me to try and cheer me up, I killed Lisanna. I'm entirely to blame."
"No, you're not!" Mira said forcefully. "You weren't in control! You're not responsible for what happened that day! It was my fault for accepting that job! It was my fault for attacking you!"
"No, it's mine for being a monster," Sado said, voice cracking before he stood. "Sorry. I need to go take my medicine."
He stood, everyone watching him leave. He walked outside and toward the park, stopping when he met Gajeel, who looked like he had been in a fight. And had lost, badly.
"What happened?" Sado asked.
Gajeel just growled something Sado couldn't make out and limped past him, obviously barely on his feet, and there was a nasty electrical burn on his left arm, smaller ones on the rest of his body.
"Laxus," Sado breathed, walking toward the park.
Just before he got there, he met Levy and her team.
"Hey, I just met Gajeel, he looked..." he trailed off as he saw their conflicted expressions. "What happened Levy?"
Levy looked surprised at being called out before staring at the ground. "Jet and Droy called Gajeel out. They wanted to repay him for what he did to us. But Gajeel just...let them. He didn't try to fight back, he didn't try to defend himself. He just let them hit him. Then Laxus showed up and..."
"He was talking about how he heard Fairy Tail was weak, and that we've become the laughing stock of the magic community, then he started in on Gajeel too, blaming him for it. We tried to tell Laxus that he was going too far, and to lay off...but..."
"He lashed out," Droy said.
"What did Laxus do?" Sado asked.
"He attacked Levy," Jet said.
"Are you alright?" Sado asked.
"I'm fine," Levy said. "Gajeel...Gajeel shielded me. Then, he just left and Laxus went the other way."
Sado's eyes widened before he nodded, sighing. He looked the way Levy had indicated Laxus going before staring at his arm. Then, he turned, returning to the guild hall. He needed to warn Makarov that Laxus was in town and causing trouble again.
He made his way to the bar where Makarov was drinking and told him what he had heard from Levy and the others and Makarov sighed.
"Thank you for letting me know," Makarov said.
Sado nodded just as Mira rested a hand on his shoulder. He looked over at her and she smiled, holding up a piece of paper.
"Let's do this job together," Mira said. "It should be an easy job, it has a huge reward, and it'll give you time to rest your arm. Besides, it's been a long time since we did any quests together."
Sado smiled, accepting the paper and scanning it, then reread it twice. There was no way that was right. A million jewel for one man and one woman to act as best man and maid of honor to a couple getting married. The poster also included the need to be good at impromptu speeches, ballroom dancing, and able to convince the families that you have actually known the couple for a very long time.
"It has potential," Sado nodded, Mira smiling widely.
"Are you even able to dance?" Mira asked.
"Well, no," he said. "But we have a full week for you to teach me how."
"And the speech?" Mira asked.
"I'll think of something," Sado shrugged.
Mira smiled and nodded. Sado grinned and turned toward the door.
"I gotta get a tux," Sado said. "I'll meet you back here, okay?"
Mira nodded and Sado left, heading to Magnolia's tailor again, walking inside as he knocked. The man looked up at him over his thin-rimmed glasses and raised an eyebrow.
"And how can I help you on this...fine day?" the man asked, grumpy as ever.
"I need a new tux," Sado said, having burned the last one to escape the memory of what almost happened. "I'm the Best Man."
"Color?" the man asked.
"Not really sure," Sado said.
"Figures," the man sighed. "Take your shirt and pants off and step up on the stool." He pointed to the back, where Sado would be out of view of the public.
Sado did as instructed, the man quickly measuring him, also using several devices to measure the length, width, and thickness of each foot, as well as the dimensions of each arch this time.
"Would you like a tux you can possibly fight in?" the man asked.
"Yes please," Sado said.
The man nodded and allowed Sado to get dressed again before walking to the back. Then, he held his hands out over several rolls of fabric and thread. A sky-blue spell circle spread from his hands, the fabric and thread springing to life, spinning together into a tux matching Sado's measurements, a pair of leather shoes even being made this time around. After a moment, the man finished his spell and brought the tux back, holding it and the shoes out to Sado. Sado changed into it, smiling as it was a perfect fit and the shoes were literally formed to his feet.
"The left inside pocket of the jacket has a potion to change the color," the man said. "If you need to, put something with whatever color you need on the jacket, vest, and tie and put one drop of the potion on each. That will make the tux match the color."
"It's perfect," Sado said. "Thank you."
The man grunted and Sado payed him, then changed back into his tee shirt and pants and walked back to the guild. As soon as he stepped inside, people began to stare at the suit. Sado walked over to Mira, who had a suitcase packed already for both of them. Sado opened his, packing the tux carefully before closing it and standing.
"Ready?" he asked.
Mira nodded and they left, heading out to meet their client at the train station.
Leave a review.
