"Let's go," Erza says, and the group walks into the building.
Upon going inside, they find a emormus dragon awaiting them. With horns like a reindeer and scales like Acnologia, it's gigantic wings cover the whole top of the room.
"A dragon!" Lucy, Gray, and Natsu say, jumping a few hundred feet into the air.
"Not just any dragon," Amaya mutters quietly, "I've heard about the guild master of the oldest guild before. It came out in one of my books. I never thought I'd meet him, but you are Elefseria, the Dragon of Law, right?"
"That's quite correct," The big dragon booms across the room. "I'm the one giving out the 100 year quest."
"I'd like to ask you something," Erza pronounces, looking up at the mystical creature. "I thought this was supposed to be a mage guild, so who are you?"
"It is pretty weird for a dragon to be leading a mage guild, and there are no mages," Gray agrees, and they all take a look around the room. Not a single mage appears.
"Actually, it can be a deserted guild. That does make sense, because this is a old guild," Amaya replies. "The mages flocked to the new guilds, because they were modern and, well, new. What surprises me more is the fact that you are alive. Dragons were supposed to have gone extinct. So, you're either a human, or you're a illusion of some sort."
"No, you're right Amaya," Natsu and Wendy agree, and Natsu points at the dragon. "Yer a human, aren't ya?"
"Quite correct, I'm surprised you were able to find out. No less from the dragon of the East, I suppose. Amaya Hisakawa. You're quite famous in these parts," the dragon slowly changes from a big dragon, slowly forming into a short old man, and stands in front of them. He wears a witch like hat and black armor. He also has a staff in his right hand. "I am Elefseria, the first master of Magia Dragon."
"A human?" Happy gasps, sweating profusely as he looks at the mage.
"The originator of all guilds?" Carla asks in disbelief.
"You've been alive for more than 100 years?!" Lucy questions.
"It's actually not that confusing, Lucy," Amaya replies, thinking back to her novel. "From what I understand, it works similar to the dragon you know of as Acnologia, the Arcane dragon. He was originally a dragon slayer, but now he's a dragon and a human, I suppose. It's the price of dragon slayer magic."
"Once again correct, Miss Hisakawa. Consider me impressed. You've really done your research. It's been a while since I"ve seen a young maiden such as you two, though. I'm just ever so nervous," He replies, before shifting around the room, settling in between, well, not a good spot. He tucks himself further in between the shirt and grins cheekily.
"Great, another old pervert," Amaya mutters, pushing her hand into Lucy's, nevermind.
"I mean," the old man says, getting out of his more than awkward position, "the last guy that showed up was this old grizzly guy, and before that a macho guy, and before that, too..."
"Gildarts?" Gray thinks incredulously, covering his mouth to hide his snicker.
"What wonderful times we live in! To be blessed with maiden mages like these!" Elefseria titters happily, grinning a bit like an old pervert. Kinda creepy.
"Creepy," Amaya mutters annoyedly, and Natsu nods along, agreeing with nothing.
"I see. I feel your pain," Erza says sympathetically.
Wendy looks at her questioningly. "You do?"
"And in the end, not a single one of those big brutes returned." the old mage says sadly.
"Gildarts did!" Natsu protests angrily.
"Who's Gildarts?" Amaya asks to no one in particular.
"Yes, he was the first to return alive. However, he wasn't in one piece, was he," the dragon agrees, ignoring Amaya's question.
"Gildarts is a super powerful crush mage back at Fairy Tail," Wendy whispers to Amaya giddly. "He can defeat Natsu in one blow!"
"No he can't," Natsu says proudly, "It takes more than that to take me down!"
"Wow," Amaya comments, "Cool, he must be really strong then."
"Do you really have what it takes to take on this job?" the old mage questions seriously, and everyone looks at him.
"We're here, aren't we?" Gray replies, "We'll do it."
Back at the guild, three mages have newly come to give guild life a try.
"These three are the mages that are joining the Fairy Tail guild today!" Max announces happily, pointing at the three young wizards prepared to join Fairy Tail.
"Nice to meet ya!"
"Oi, that girl's pretty cute!"
"Here he goes!"
"Daad!"
"Welcome to Fairy Tail!" Lisanna says happily, "I hope you fit right in!"
"So this is Fairy Tail, huh?" a tall guy with curly hair says, one of the choices for the lineup.
"So many people!" another says nervously, a small mousy boy with a streak of blonde hair in the front and black hair in the back. A pretty girl with straight bangs stands up nervously.
"Huh? Why only three?" Makarov questions, looking at the young mages.
""We knew you wouldn't want it to get too crowded around here, so we narrowed it down to just these three," Mira replies, smiling as she explains. "And there's Amaya, who left on the quest yesterday."
"Right, I forgot about her..." Makarov thinks back to his previous converstation about the water mage...
"Can you keep her around?" Makarov asks Erza as he signs the paperwork for her entry. "She seems extremely capable and might be a good mentor for Wendy. She has about as much magic power as Natsu himself."
"But Master, we haven't even tested her magic power. We don't know if she's really that strong. She could be putting up a front," Erza replies, watching the dragon slayer laugh with Lucy, and shake her hand.
"Please, just do it," Makarov pleads, walking over to the girl. "I think she is putting up a front. That's why you should watch her carefully." Makarov walks over to the mage, and they talk about her entrance to the guild.
*end of flashback
"Well, anyway, welcome to Fairy Tail!" Makarov says happily, introducing them to the mages scattered around. The mages of Fairy Tail welcome them happily.
"Welcome!"
"You've chosen the manliest of the manly guilds!" Elfman exclaims happily.
"Tim to drink and sing and drink and eat and drink!" Cana says excitedly.
"That's mostly drinking, Cana," Laki and Kiana say in unison.
"We're pretty relaxed around here, so I hope we'll be friends soon, everyone!" Bisca and Alzack say kindly, smiling at the new recruits.
"Relaxed?! Come on! You guys are the best guild ever!" A tall, curly haired recruit says excitedly. Everyone's eyes turn to him.
"Number 1 in Fiore! The other guilds are crap! Fairy Tail's the best guild in the land!" He continues excitedly, "Gimme a job! Any job! I'll make Fairy Tail... better than the best of the best! To be honest, I'm probably better than those two guys," He points at Jet and Droy, who give him a incredulous look.
"And, one day, I"ll become Fairy Tail's Master-"
He is cut off by a punch straight towards the gut.
"Yer gettin' on my nerves," Lazus frowns, glaring at the now beaten mage lying on the ground.
"Oh! You're back, Laxus! Just in time!" Makarov says happily. Laxus glares at the two other new recruits, and they cower in fear.
The curly haired mage lies on the ground.
"Don't look down on your teammates and allies, okay?" Evergreen suggests kindly.
"I don't think you should be the one telling him that," Bixlow says from behind her.
"And we don't take kindly to badmouthing of other guilds either," Freed remarks.
"You have no right to call yourself one of Fairy Tail's own," Laxus pronounces, glaring daggers at the mage. Then, he runs out, screaming for his life. And, when poor Laxus tries to talk to the other little boy, he cries and runs out screaming behind the pervious mage.
Laxus and the guild members stare as the boy runs out, then Elfman comments "That's two you've scared off, Laxus."
"NOT MY FAULT!"
"I... I'm," the pretty mage says, "I'm Touka! I've come because I want to be in Natsu's guild?"
"Natsu?" Levy questions.
"What's your relationship to Natsu?" Freed asks doubtfully.
"Not Natsu," she mutters, then proclaims "My dear Natsu is... MY SWEET DARLING!"
Cana laughs, turning to the recently arrived Juvia and says "Sounds like someone stealing your spotlight, Juvia."
Juvia is sulking in the corner, murmuring to herself, "My dear Gray darling left me behind, but he took a new girl with him... He could be CHEATING ON ME!" Her eyes have literally turned to fire. "I won't let a silly new bimbo steal my Gray-sama!"
"Anyways, where is my dear Natsu?" Touka asks excitedly, looking around. "My sweet darling!"
"He's on work," Makarov replies. "Won't be back for a while. He's on the 100 year quest."
"Oh, I see," Touka responds disappointedly. "Okay. I shall wait for my beloved!"
A few hours later
"Why in the world are Juvia and the others here?!" Juvia yells frustratedly at no one in particular.
"I mean, if you don't want to be here, just take on a job," Levy says, pointing at the board, which has a good amount of requests.
"OKAY! LET US GO ON A JOB! THE JOB WILL BE RISKING LIFE AND LIMB TO PROTECT MY DEAR GRAY! JUVIA IS THE CLIENT! AND JUVIA WILL TAKE THE JOB!" Juvia yells excitedly.
Makarov just says "o- oh?"
"Can you not believe in and wait for the return of your beloved?" Touka questions, much to Juvia's surprise.
"What.. did you..." Juvia mutters, glaring backwards towards the white haired mage.
"I believe. I believe that my dear Natsu will return!" Touka says dreamily, leaning her head on her shoulder. "And then he will accept my love for him!"
"You shouldn't expect much from Natsu on that front," Elfman replies, sweating slightly.
"You're right. Lucy, Lisanna, Erza... There are many women around your dear Natsu," Juvia snarks, grinning evilly.
"Why am I included?" Lisanna asks quietly.
"I've head much about Gray, too. You know. Ur, Ultear, Cana, Briar, Erza, and now, his own childhood friend, Amaya. I wonder if he'll hook up with his former best friend," Touka replies, with the same evil grin on her face.
"He'll... what?" Juvia asks dangerously, her face shifting into what's called the "Jealous Juvia" mode, a dangerous face Juvia makes when her love is in danger.
"You heard me!" Touka responds, glaring angrily at Juvia. The two start fighting on the floor.
"Oh my. They're already such fast friends!" Mirajane comments happily. Makarov just sighs.
Gajeel stares at the white mage suspiciously. Pantherlily, noticing this, asks, "What's the matter, Gajeel?"
"That woman... Did she just mention Briar? And how does she know Amaya?"
"Amaya was a new dragon slayer who joined our guild, Gajeel," Lily replies, "She's part of Team Natsu for now, but we never got to meet her formally. She might've seen her at the selection or something."
"She... is?" Gajeel questions incredulously, "If master saw her power, he would never let her in!"
"What's her magic ability?" Lily asks.
"Not really about her ability," Gajeel says, "It's just her magic power capability. It's... more than I've ever seen in my entire life. And I saw her a long time ago. So she must've gotten stronger. She has multiple abilities and is a genius at spying and infiltrating. I met her on one of my missions during the year Fairy Tail was apart. She's known as... The Queen of Dragons."
