Yo.
I for the life of me couldn't get this idea out of my head. Sorry about late updates for my other stories, things have been hampering me recently on a personal level but until I get rid of the constant idea of this story, I'll be focusing on this one.
Seriously, I've written and rewritten this story at least six different ways in the past two days and finally I think I'm happy to say that I've finally found the write rhythm with this one. I'll also be taking down my other One Piece/Fairy Tail Crossovers in lieu of this story so I don't get sidetracked, including King's Mantle and Neo Eclipse. If any wish to continue those feel free to let me know and I'll give you the copies of them.
Like Neo Eclipse, I'll be making the ship's crew out of characters from Hiro Mashima's other works. I'm really stuck on this idea and want to make something of it if I can. So don't be surprised to see familiar faces turn up. I'll also be using characters from One Piece for the crew too.
I've got plans to update Team TEAL along with Rejected and Misplaced soon, so keep an eye out.
Hope you enjoy.
Year X-792 (1 Month after the Alvarez War Ended.)
"Come on Gramps!"
The guild hall was once more filled with the shout of one Natsu Dragneel, the Fire Dragon Slayer of Fairy Tail. Some glanced over to see the Dragon Slayer before the Master of the guild Makarov Dreyar others ignored it and went about their routine. The War with Alvarez had taken its toll on the man that had welcomed so many as his own, the extreme use of Fairy Law had left the man in a wheelchair. At times Makarov could still use his legs, but for the majority of the time he spent his days in a wheelchair.
"Natsu, how many times must I tell you, 'no'?" Makarov questioned as Natsu frowned as he stood before the Master of the guild. "I know that you think that you're ready, but you still have time to grow before you attempt such a quest. Gildarts was as strong as he was and look what happened to him. I can't allow it." Makarov told him. "If you want to take on the Hundred Year Quest, then I need you to be stronger."
"I am strong Gramps!" Natsu tried to argue.
"I know that my boy." Makarov spoke as he rose his hand to stop Natsu from continuing. "But I don't want to risk your life but letting you go if you're not ready. Gildarts has been forbidden from giving any information on the Quest. I just want to be sure you can handle it. Once again Natsu, my answer is no." Natsu frowned as he turned and walked away leaving the Master to watch as he left and collapsed into a chair before face planting a table in defeat at the rejection.
"He's going to keep asking." Gildarts spoke up as he sat down in a chair beside the Guild Master. "And if something doesn't happen soon, he's going to do something stupid. You know how he is."
"Yes, I know." Makarov nodded as the the two watched as Wendy went to try and cheer the older Dragon Slayer up. With the War over, things in Fiore had settled down, even more so for Fairy Tail, there were no big threats right now, the Fiore Kingdom was at peace. Jobs came and went but there was nothing looming over the horizon for them. It gave the members a lot of room to grow and relax after everything they had been through. Most had spent the time catching up with one another after an entire year apart when Makarov had disbanded the guild. But for Natsu, who had gained a strength very rarely seen, he was itching for something big.
"I know he's ready... but without knowing what is waiting for him, I just can't willing let him go with what happened to you." Makarov stated.
"No, I get it." Gildarts told him. "Sure, it wasn't the Quest per say that left me in this state but coming up against Acnologia during the job, was no less dangerous then the job itself." He breathed out, he still remembered the details of the request, it still flawed him to think that there were such monsters out there and he hadn't been able to do anything against one of them let alone Acnologia. Looking over to Natsu he had to smile... the kid might be able to pull it off, once the Master agreed to let him go on it.
"He'll want to take his team with him." Makarov stated. "It's no secret that Natsu wants to take on the job, but I don't think the others are even slightly prepared for him to be given approval and are not mentally equipped right now to take on the job."
"So it's more them you're worried about?" Gildarts asked.
"I'm worried about all of them." Makarov confirmed. "But right now, Lucy is engrossed in her writing. Erza's thoughts are clouded with the revelation that Jellal has been pardoned by the kingdom. Gray has his own issues to sought through and Wendy is still young and while talented needs growth in her abilities. Until they can once more come together as the team that they built, then maybe. They just need time, there should be no rush."
"What you're saying is, you just need to keep Natsu busy until the rest are ready," Gildarts chuckled.
"Something like that." Makarov smiled. "But now that his search for Igneel is over, he doesn't have a focus." Makarov added. "He needs something to push towards, a goal to achieve. The Hundred Year quest is a start, but without knowing the information, he already believes himself to be ready for anything that it might throw at him."
"Can you blame him?" Gildarts questioned. "Kid took down Zeref and while not alone, he did take down Acnologia something even I couldn't dream of." He sighed. "Kids probably stronger than me if I'm being honest, I don't know if I could take him in a real fight. When it comes to power, we're evenly matched but put his ferocity and intensity of real battle behind him." Gildarts shook his head. "I'd lose three outta five."
"Willing to bequeath the title of Fairy Tail's strongest?" Makarov asked with a slight smirk.
"And let the kid get a big head?" Gildarts asked grinning in return. "Give it ten years, then I might." The two laughed for a short while, peace had truly returned to the guild hall of Fairy Tail.
As their laughter died down, Gildarts rested against the bar looking out over the guild his eyes landing on the Dragon Slayer in question. Gildarts had watched Natsu over the past few weeks, asking for permission for the Hundred Year Quest over and over again. He'd completed S-class Quests, and SS-Class Quests in the past however never a Year Quest or a Decade Quest. Sure they weren't easy to come by, only the top guilds were given Year Quests and Decade Quests and the top guild in the country was the only one with the Hundred Year Quest.
To be completely honest there weren't many jobs that were tough enough to hold out for a decade with the Wizards of this generation.
"Hey Gramps..." Makarov looked up at the crash wizard. "We got any Decade Quests laying around?" Makarov blinked, before smiling to himself. It was about that time that Gildarts would generally think about hitting the road.
"Heading off already are we? You don't want to spend some more quality time with Cana before you go?" Makarov asked. "I honestly thought you'd take this damn mantle off my hands for good this time." He chuckled, how long had he been trying to push the title of Master off onto someone else now? He wasn't going to be around forever, someone had to take it from him.
"No, not for me." Gildarts said surprising the elderly man. "For Natsu, give him a tough job that this generation hasn't been able to deal with for a decade. Give him a challenge while he waits for the Hundred Year Quest." Makarov was stunned. Was Gildarts really pushing for this? He was the only one that knew the details of the Hundred Year Quest... it was almost like he was leaving it up to Natsu to finish it.
"If I recall, from the last Guild Masters conference..." Makarov thought for a moment. "There was one job that was declared a Decade Quest around the same time that we returned from Tenrou Island, it was issued back in X781, the same year you left on the Hundred Year Quest."
"Guess time really does fly when you're in a magic stasis for seven years." Gildarts chuckled. "What's the job?" He asked.
"No idea." Makarov shook his head. "The Request only specifies where to find the Employer, all details will be revealed from there." He explained.
"Not unlike a certain other job." Gildarts sighed recalling the meeting with the employer of the request, Natsu will be shocked when he finally gets there.
"Thing is, nobody has ever taken the job." Makarov explained surprising Gildarts. "Not for the lack of trying mind you, members of Sabertooth, Lamia Scale, Mermaid Heel and Blue Pegasus all tried during our absence, but to no avail. They were all turned away from the job upon arriving, they never even met the employer." Gildarts raised a hand to his beard, stroking it slightly. He himself was intrigued by the job, but figured he could stick around the Guild for a little while longer plus this was for the Dragon Slayer, not him.
"Give Natsu a shot." Gildarts told him. "Test the waters, see how he does. It'll make you feel better when it comes to sending him on the big one." He offered as MAkarov hummed in thought, mulling the idea over, it wasn't the worst one that he had heard. "Don't send the kid alone though." Gildarts stated. "Natsu does better when he's surrounded by friends, you said Wendy needs to grow too right?"
"I did." Makarov nodded, already figured it would be good to give Wendy some more experience with more troublesome jobs. She had power, but she lacked the experience to fully utilise it that comes with years of training. She was undoubtedly one of the Guild's stronger members, holding her own against those of the Spriggan Twelve and one of the few in the ranks of the Dragon Slayers.
Undoubtedly when she had fully matured there would only be a few in future generations that would ever match up to her. No doubt Natsu would never let anything happen to her, they had a bond one couldn't easily break. The pair might be a decent team to be sent on the request and undoubtedly their eternal partners in Happy and Carla would go with them.
"Hmm... let's have a drink and discuss the details a little more." Gildarts nodded as he gestured for a few drinks from Mirajane who smiled happily and went to get them.
Natsu huffed as he sat at the table, head rested on his hand as he stared at Makarov's office door, where the job he wanted most of all was located. The Hundred Year Quest wasn't out on display like all the other jobs, only a few in the guild even knew the details written on it. Makarov kept it from prying eyes and sneaky paws.
Natsu himself had never actually seen the request and every time he tried to get information out of Gildarts about it, all he got was some speal that he was contracted to not speak of the details of the job, whatever that meant. The damn old guy should just tell him already!
"This sucks." He muttered to himself. Even before he got back from his training, his goal had been to take on the Hundred Year Quest after Zeref and Acnologia had been dealt with. Sure he hadn't expected a war with Alvarez when he had left on his training trip or the guild disbanding, but everything was over now and he was so pumped to go on the job that even Gildarts couldn't do. But Makarov's constant refusal of allowing him to go on the job put a damper on the Dragon Slayers mood.
It wasn't just the refusal either. Lucy was always busy, always writing her book and not taking on many jobs. The ones she did take were just to cover rent and basic living necessities meaning they weren't much of a challenge. Natsu didn't bother heading off on them due to not being 'compatible' with them as Lucy put it, whatever that meant.
Erza seemed distracted at the best of times, she took on the odd job here and there but every time Natsu saw her, she just didn't seem like her usual self. He guessed it had to do with the news that Jellal had been pardoned by Queen Hisui. Natsu half expected Jellal to turn up at the guild, but so far he hadn't shown himself at all. If he made her cry again, Natsu would never forgive him.
Gray was off working with Juvia while Lucy was writing and Erza engrossed in other things, the water and ice wizards seemingly growing closer after the War. The two had been living together during the guild's disbanding, so undoubtedly the two had gotten alot closer. But he was still apart of the team as far as Natsu was concerned and as much as the duo got on one another's nerves, Natsu couldn't imagine going on the hundred Year Quest without him, without any of his team mates, even Wendy was coming, she didn't know it yet but Natsu had already decided.
He thought that this job could bring them back together as a team after the war, but with everyone off doing their own thing and the constant refusal of the job in question. The Dragon Slayer was bummed out.
"Hey, cheer up Natsu." Happy began.
"He's right Natsu, there's no need to get upset." Wendy told him, having come over to check on the older Dragon Slayer after he was turned away once again. "I'm sure that the Master will let you take the job eventually Natsu." Wendy added.
"Yeah, I guess you're right I just want to go already." Natsu sighed.
"Let's take a job with a big pay and take your mind off of it." The Exceed suggested. "Beating up monsters always puts you in a better mood."
"Yeah, I guess we could do that." Natsu nodded as he glanced over to see Gildarts and Makarov talking with one another. "How about it Wendy want to come with us?" Natsu queried.
"Sure." Wendy agreed as Carla huffed beside her friend and crossed her arms.
"As long as you don't get us into too much trouble." She glared at Natsu who ignored it and grinned.
"Come on Happy! Let's go find the biggest paying job we got!" The Dragon Slayer announced.
"Aye Sir!" Natsu quickly got up from his chair and the exceed followed after him, leaving the young Dragon Slayer Exceed to watch them race across the guild towards the request board, the latter of the two frowning at just how much trouble was going to be caused due to the two while the former just smiled at Natsu's child like glee.
"Are you sure about this Master?" Mirajane questioned as she stood behind the bar opposite the two older gentlemen of the guild. After she had brought them their drinks, Gildarts had decided to inform the barmaid of the plan of sending Natsu on a decade quest. Mostly it was to hasten Makarov's decision on the matter, the longer they left the Dragon Slayer to his own devices the more trouble he could get into in the meantime which undoubtedly meant more trouble for the guild.
"Well it was only a passing thought." He stated sending a glare to the Crash Wizard seated beside him. "This one thinks it would be good to keep Natsu occupied before I deem him ready for the Hundred Year Quest."
"Well it would keep him busy." Mirajane suggested. "And remember what happened back when Lucy first joined the guild and they stole that S-class job, but I dont think Natsu would try that again with the Hundred Year Quest." She recalled making Makarov frown, if left for too long the boy might just do something risky and try to steal the Hundred Year Quest, maybe it would be good to keep him occupied for a while. "What kind of decade quest is it?"
"Don't know." Gildarts shrugged. "Apparently it came around the year I left on the Hundred Year Quest, apparently it doesn't have any information of it and from what the Master tells me, it's not for the lack of trying that it hasn't been completed."
"I don't recall a job like that." Mirajane frowned slightly before she saw the pink haired Dragon Slayer dash across the guild for the request board. "But, unless you want to keep thinking about this Master, I think you should make up your mind." She gestured for the two to look to see Happy and Natsu reach the board before scouring it, looking for a job.
"That won't keep him busy long and before you know it, he'll be back here pestering you again." Gildarts smiled as Makarov huffed, the man was really pushing for this. They watched as Natsu grabbed a job and began to discuss it with the blue feline floating beside him. Natsu looked up scouring the bar for someone before locating Mirajane with Gildarts and Makarov before rushing over, Happy not too far behind.
"Mira! We're gonna take this job!" Natsu declared holding up the flier as he approached.
"Hold up Natsu." Gildarts began. "Makarov might have something a little more interesting for you." He began.
"This is on you, Gildarts." Makarov huffed getting a grin from the man. "Now Natsu, I know how much you've been wanting to take on the Hundred Year Quest." Natsu's eyes lit up in excitement.
"Really! Finally! Gramps you're the best!" He cheered as Happy cheered beside him.
"Hold up Natsu, let him finish." Mirajane smiled, it was always good to see Natsu's enthusiasm but sometimes he let it get the best of him and she didn't want him to be let down too much by the news. Natsu frowned as he turned back to the Master who cleared his throat.
"Right now, I won't give you the Hundred Year Quest, my decision is still firm on that one." Makarov explained. "However, I can give you a quest with a bit more of a challenge for you then the ones currently on the request board." While slightly deflated at the turn of the conversation, Natsu perked up slightly at that. He hadn't had a challenge since the war ended, every job he went on was a breeze and it didn't challenge him in the slightest. It was almost like he'd gotten to strong for normal jobs.
"What's the job Master?" Happy asked but Makarov rose his hand up to quiet the cat as he stared at Natsu.
"The job that you'll be taking is a Decade Quest." Happy's jaw dropped as Natsu's eyes lit up in excitement. "We know next to nothing about this job only the employers location, the quest was issued the same year that Gildarts left on the Hundred Year Quest and has recently been made into a decade quest."
"People have tried to take the job before, but were turned away and the job has gone uncompleted for close on twelve years now." Gildarts explain, him having just learned the details prior to talking to Natsu about it.
"I'll do it!" Natsu declared. "Sign me up! Let's go! I'm ready!"
"There is a catch however Natsu." Makarov began causing the pink haired Dragon Slayer to raise an eyebrow in question. "I want you to take Wendy along with you." Mirajane's eyes widened as she turned to the Master. "Wendy needs more combat experience and while she's done well so far, it wouldn't hurt to have a little more before you dragged her off on the hundred Year Quest."
"Sure, I'll take Wendy with me. It'll be great!" Natsu laughed. "Happy can come too." Happy beamed his chest out, glad to not be excluded.
"Aye Sir! And Carla!" Natsu nodded, he doubted Wendy would leave her behind.
"Right! so Happy, Me, Wendy and Carla!" Natsu declared. "I'm getting all fired up!" He laughed as he turned and saw Wendy waiting at the table with Carla. "Hey wendy!" The Young Dragon Slayer looked up and smiled as she saw Natsu waving her over. "We have a job!"
"I expect you to look after her Natsu." Mirajane told him.
"I won't let anything happen." Natsu assured. "Promise."
"Good."
"Hello Master." Wendy bowed as she approached. "Mirajane." She smiled at the barmaid. "Mr Gildarts."
"Eh! Why me Mr!? I'm not that old!" Makarov just laughed at the man as Wendy tried to apologise for being impolite.
"Wendy,we got a job and it's a big one." Natsu grinned at her. "Gramps is giving us a Decade Quest!" He told her surprising the younger wizard.
"Really?" Wendy asked surprised as Makarov nodded in confirmation. "Am I ready for something like this?" She asked.
"Sure you are!" Natsu grinned.
"Absolutely not! I object to this." Carla immediately defended but was seemingly ignored by both Dragon Slayers as Natsu was getting little Wendy pumped up for the job.
"If anything goes wrong, you have Natsu to rely on." Gildarts told Wendy. "You've worked together before and you're both Dragon Slayers and both of you went up against Acnologia, it's probably not going up against a Dragon so I think you'll do fine."
"See Carla, even Gildarts thinks Wendy can handle it." NAtsu grinned at the exceed who huffed and turned away from him.
"Thanks Mr Gildarts!" Wendy exclaimed happily for the praise only for Gildarts to turn back to the bar and look into his glass.
"That's all the kids see me as now, Mr Gildarts." The man croaked on the verge of tears.
"Natsu." Makarov began gaining the Dragon Slayer's attention, there was a level of seriousness in the Masters eye. "If you complete this job and complete it well, once you return... we'll discuss the Hundred Year Quest." Natsu beamed at him happily and nodded as he grinned.
"So, what are we waiting for? Let's go get ready!" With that Natsu dashed from the guild, Happy hot on his heels as Wendy smiled giving them a quick farewell before she and Carla hurried to go pack for a longer trip, leaving Gildarts and Makarov at the bar still with Mirajane.
"So..." Gildarts began. "I think we just made a huge mistake." He laughed.
"You're the one that was pushing for it!" Makarov shouted back at him.
"They'll be fine." Mirajane assured.
"Wow Natsu! How are you doing this?" Wendy asked. Usually, the two Dragon Slayers would be keeled over as soon as the train started to move, the motion sickness even having started to claim Wendy in it's forever pursuit of Dragon Slayers. But here they were, as fit as a fiddle without the slightest bit of change in their demeanor and Wendy hadn't even cast Troia magic.
"Hehehe." Natsu grinned before reaching for his bag, opening it before he began to rustle around inside of it. He grinned once he found what he was looking for and pulled forth a large lacrima crystal from within.
"What's that?" Carla asked skeptically.
"It's the lacrima from the Magic Bomber: Christina that Blue Pegasus installed to stop Dragon Slayers from getting motion sickness!" Happy declared. "As long as Natsu and Wendy are in its vicinity, they shouldn't have any problems with transportation!"
"And Master Bob just let you have it?" Carla asked, of course they didn't.
"Well... we kinda borrowed it..." Happy told her before looking away guiltily. "... without telling them and with no intention of giving it back." He finished as he scratched at his cheek before bopping himself atop of the head and sticking out his tongue.
"That's not cute at all, tomcat." Carla noted from where she was currently sitting atop Wendy's lap.
"That doesn't matter!" Natsu declared placing the lacrima back in his bag. "All that matters is that Me and Wendy aren't completely useless on transportation and we can get to the job destination quicker without walking!" He laughed as Carla sighed, at least Wendy could ride the train without issues now.
"So Natsu, what do we know about this job?" Wendy questioned figuring that they should know a little more about the job.
"Stuff all." Natsu told her flatly as he pulled out the request sheet the had the details. "All it says is this." She began. "Meet me in the ruins of Mildain Magic Academy for an Adventure of a Lifetime."
"Creepy." Happy spoke up. "Why would we go to a ruined city for an adventure?"
"Mildain... wait, I think I've heard know that place." Wendy began. "From what I know, the Spriggan Dimaria was apart of the people that once called this place home, her ancestors must have continued on the religion to the God of Time even after the city was abandoned." Wendy explained.
"Weird." Natsu stated as he crossed his arms. "Either way, we'll find out about the job when we get to this place."
"Right." Wendy nodded.
The train continued on and with the 'borrowed' lacrima from Blue Pegasus, Natsu and Wendy had no issues traveling the distance on the train from Magnolia all the way to the ancient ruined city of Mildian. The train itself didn't run through the ruins of the city, so from the nearby station it was a short walk to the ruined city. Even though the city was in ruins, there were recent signs of archaeological dig sites. However as the wizard duo passed by, it didn't seem that there was anyone else present apart from the four of them.
"Treasure Hunter Guilds must have picked this place clean a long time ago." Carla frowned as she looked over the ruins, it would have been a bustling city in its prime. "It must have been a beautiful place."
"I wonder what happened here so long ago." Happy spoke aloud as he floated after Carla. Natsu himself was frowning as he looked around, he didn't like the smell of this place. As they got closer and closer to the ruins of the magic academy, the smell only got worse and unfortunately he was all to familiar with it.
"Zeref's magic was here." Natsu frowned as he looked around. "A long time ago, but the scent is still here."
"I'm sure we won't be here long Natsu." Wendy assured him getting a nod from the Dragon Slayer. While it was revealed the truth about Natsu's relationship with Zeref the Dragon Slayer hadn't pursued it anymore than what he had been told by Zeref and Anna, Fairy Tail was his family.
"Hey Natsu, I think this is it." Happy said as they all stood before the ruined building, it housed two statues either side of a grand stone staircase, one of the statues was destroyed while the other was mostly intact. Where there once had been a building and been reclaimed by time and nature, parts of the structure were decaying others having collapsed in on itself all the while vines and trees were growing trying to reclaim it.
Natsu started first, heading up the steps towards where they could enter. The Dragon Slayer kept his eyes on their surroundings, already feeling like they were being watched, he just couldn't pick up a scent or even hear another person nearby. Hearing a slight creak, Natsu raised his hand to call them to a halt as they all looked up to the entrance to the ruined academy building.
The door itself only seemed to be blowing in the wind, but as Natsu slowly approached again he saw magic runes printed across the entrance.
'Please Remove Your Shoes. You can only be permitted to enter, barefoot.'
"No problem for me! I don't wear shoes!" Happy declared placing his hands on his hips as he looked to the others to see Natsu kick off his sandals before throwing them in his bag before offering his hand to Wendy and Carla for their shoes which they too had taken off.
"Thanks Natsu." Wendy smiled as Natsu pulled his bag back onto his back.
"Don't mention it, now let's go see what this job is all about." Natsu grinned getting a smile from Wendy in return as Natsu turned for the door and pushed it inwards. Immediately the difference was known, they weren't in the ruins that they had been going to enter, the doorway itself didn't lead into the ruins but into an entirely different space.
"Where are we?" Wendy questioned looking around in awe.
"It reminds me of the Celestial Realm." Happy said looking around, the ground itself was as if walking on nothing, darkness spread in every which direction littered with millions upon millions of stars.
"The doors gone." Carla announced causing the other three to turn back to see that what she said was true, the entrance to this place was gone.
"Please, don't be alarmed." Natsu rounded on the new voice, eyes scanning the darkness until he locked eyes on the one that had spoken.
She was a slender young woman with red eyes and black hair with diagonally cut bangs, and had two pairs of longer bangs, each on the front and back of her head. She wore a red qipao with a cherry blossom pattern that exposes much of her back, and a lily flower on the right side of her head, she was also barefoot like they were.
"I've been waiting for you, welcome to the Palace of Knowledge." The young woman smiled at them before calling out. "Natsu Dragneel." She spread her arms out wide before closing the distance between herself and the older Dragon Slayer before he noticed and leaned into him to the point Natsu had to lean back, she had a face only a pervert could make, breathing heavily with a love drunk stare.
"Uhhh..."
"I'm a huge fan! Can I have your autograph!" She panted heavily as Natsu awkwardly leaned back and looked to Wendy for support but the younger Dragon Slayer was just as surprised by the sudden change in her demeanor. "I've been watching you for like, forevs and I'm totally hooked! I can't get enough!" Natsu tried to back away however the girl quickly clamped both her hands on his shoulders before her perverted blush only deepened. "Every time I watch you! SQUEE!" Both Natsu and Wendy winced at the high pitched squeal.
"She's got a creepy stalker vibe Natsu." Happy whispered to the Dragon Slayer. The unknown girl released Natsu on her own and jumped back, her face heavily flushed as she raised her hands to her cheeks as her hips wiggled around as if she was having some wild fantasy.
"Uhm, excuse me." Wendy began snapping the girl from her fantasy as she looked to the younger Dragon Slayer. "Uhm..." The girl went to race to Wendy before Natsu grabbed her by the scruff of her outfit and pulled her back, Carla already out infront of Wendy wings spread to protect her.
"Don't do weird things to Wendy, Pervert." Natsu growled at her as she was hoisted in the air.
"I'm not a pervert honest! I just wanna rub my cheek against hers all cute like." The girl whined reaching out for Wendy. "You guys are like my heroes!"
"Who the hell are you lady!?" Natsu roared releasing her and tossing her back, igniting his fists as he readied for a fight.
"Please, stop. I'm sorry I shouldn't have gotten so carried away." The woman began. "My name is Xiaomei I'm the Poet of Time." She announced. "I'm also the one to issue the Quest you're currently on." She smiled.
