Previously:

One of the council members chuckled, "Very well then Reinhart. Go ahead to the next town we will have our men there as soon as possible."

Reinhart nodded and looked at Mayor Gill, "I suggest you go take these to you house." He handed him a bag of canisters holding sleeping gas. "There are four masks inside so those that throw it won't get affected."

"Thank you so much. We will find a way to repay you. Mark my word sir."

"The way you can repay me is by getting this town in working order again. That's all I will need as repayment." The Fairy Tail guild member walked off with a smile. He always enjoyed blessing the people he could.

Now:

The Mystery Man of Fairy Tail sat in the forest looking at a necklace in his hand. His mind going back to when he got it.

Flashback:

Reinhart made it to River Wood and went straight to where the Mayor could be found. The man looked at him surprised, "Um, hello."

"Mayor Crill I presume." The man nodded, "The people in Clove Tunnels need desparate help. They need medial supplies, a healthy doctor, and food."

"We haven't heard anything from them in a long time." Crill said blinking his eyes in shock.

"They were under a persuasion spell by a dark guild." Reinhart replied, "I have taken care of the dark guild but the people really need medical help. How many doctors can you spare? All of theirs are just as sick as they are."

"I can send over five." The Mayor replied, "Tell me, how bad are they? I presume they are not in very good condition."

"I am sure several have died. But the ones that are alive need what I asked for. I am willing to pay for it all. I have reward money from a job I did just before going there. Even then I can have my wife send over more if need be. These people need all the help and food you can spare."

"Even if the reward does not pay it all we will only take half. I can see you are insistent on paying. We can have what they need gathered in half an hour."

"Let's make it in fifteen minuets. I'll help you gather everything you need. Do you need me to help get you there so you don't get attacked?" Reinhart offered as he walked with the Mayor.

"Bryant get some people and get some food put together. Get any we can spare. Garell, get our top five doctors not working on something important. Salorn, get any spare clothes. Everyone else get what we can spare. Clove Tunnels needs us so make it fast. I want to be ready in fifteen minuets." Mayor Crill commanded, the people did as asked. "Lockstar and Camrosh, get some wizards ready for travel. That caravan will make it safe to Clove Tunnels."

"Yes sir."

"From your guild mark I can see you are from Fairy Tail. I will make sure to send high praises for you actions today." Mayor Crill replied as they reached the Mayor's hall the holding the horses and carriages, "I just need you to help get the horse attached to their carriages." The brunet nodded and quickly helped get the horses to the carriages. Reinhart, Mayor Crill, along with two other girls got the horse done quickly and had the line of carriages getting loaded. Reinhart went to help pack but Crill touched his shoulder, "Reinhart, let's take care of the pay. I also would like to send you home with a token of my appreciation."

"Why? It's a very human being thing to do as well as my job."

Reinhart followed Mayor Crill to the Mayor's hall making sure to give half the reward money from his job in Lake Shine Town, "Because you did more than you know. When we first didn't hear anything from Clove Tunnels I got worried and sent a few of my wizards to see if everything was okay. The next morning I found a note next to their dead bodies. It said if anyone comes here again we will come for you next. Signed by one of the most dangerous dark guilds we have heard about in these parts. After that it wasn't even safe to venture out of the village. We couldn't even let people in for fear that they were part of the dark guild. So when you came in and told us Clove Tunnels needed help I could see it in your eyes what you said was the truth. I also recognize you as the dark guilds boogieman." The Mayor opened the door to his office and went to his desk that he started digging through once the payment was put on his chair.

"It was nothing. People needed help I am happy to give it."

"And that is exactly what I need to give you this." He put a necklace on the table.

Reinhart blinked, "I'm confused."

"This was from a monster you killed outside our village three years ago." The brunet blinked in slight shock, "I actually saw you kill it. This is one of its teeth. I had it carved and put on this necklace." The man looked at the Fairy Tail wizard in the eye, "Since the monster killing. I have heard reports of you killing other monsters and dark guilds around these parts. My town has never had to send for any help because you inadvertently stopped them before they could reach us. I had this tooth enchanted to allow the wearer to heal from injuries two times faster. It is a permanent spell that should only wear off after close to three hundred years. We owe you a great gratitude, more than we can pay back. To River Wood you have been its unaware savior that we don't deserve."

Reinhart was speechless he simply stared at the Mayor in complete shock, "I…I…"

Mayor Crill smiled, "Please, take the necklace as a token of my appreciation. I wish we could do more for you after all you have done for us."

"Th...thank you. I had no idea…"

The man smiled, "I know, that's makes what you did all the more appreciated."

Reinhart picked up the necklace, his heart raced. 'I had no idea. This…this is…I don't even know how to respond. How do I pay back this high praise?'

"When ever you need a place to lounge and you are close by. Please, come stay here. Your room will be free."

"That won't be necessary."

"I get the feeling you are not used to being praised or even being appreciated like this. But here we truly appreciate what you have not known you have done for us. I couldn't even thank you enough to pay it back. So please don't hesitate to come here."

"I won't. I promise." Reinhart replied with, it was really all he could say.

End Flashback:

With a small smiled he put on the necklace. His heart beat with pride and honor. 'I never knew how much I was helping out the area around. Now I know just how much of an echo effect these jobs have.' Hearing yelling made him start to chuckle, "I would know those voices anywhere."
