Chapter 4: Welcome to Magnolia Town
So, as it turns out, we weren't very far from Magnolia Town. For some odd reason, he teleported me near there, most likely to wait up for others or for some sort of signal. But hey, at least it works in my favor, and I'll be joining Fairy Tail. Though, I really didn't want to join this way, I was wanting to go with the permission of my parents. I hope I get to see them some day.
"Master?" I hear Raiden beside me, interrupting my thoughts.
"Oh, Raiden, when did you get here?" I ask, tilting me head.
"Hmm, I just come out to help explain your magic to the others as well as introduce myself to them." Raiden replies as he sits next to me, showing that we were about equal height, only he's a few inches taller, and I'm about four foot.
"Silvia, umm, who is this?" Laxus asks, as both look at Raiden in shock.
"Oh, Makarov, Laxus, this is Raiden, my lightning summon. Raiden, this is Makarov, Master of Fairy Tail and Laxus, a Lightning Dragon Slayer. Raiden is here to help explain my magic and the type of summons I have." I introduced them.
"Oh, awesome, so you are a lightning user too. It's nice to meet you, Raiden!" Laxus says with a smile.
"Yes, it is very nice to meet you, Raiden." Makarov nods his head.
"And you as well." Raiden nods back.
"So, as you know, I'm an Elemental Summoner. Raiden, here is my first summon and is the Lightning summon. But I have eight more summon that represent light, darkness, fire, water, earth, wind, plant, ice, and mind." I list off.
"But they are locked away, until she is ready to use them, ready and waiting for her to summon. When we are first summon, she has to use a special chant to summon us and after that, she can summon us with merely saying our names. And I can tell you this, Master, your next summon is coming soon." Raiden informs me, with a toothy grin. It looks creepy to other but normal to me.
"Umm, I should have said this sooner, but Silvia, would you like a change of clothes? Our camp isn't far from here?" Makarov asks me. I look down at my now dirty night shirt and short, with holes and blood covering it.
"Don't worry, I got some spare clothes in my bag! I'll be right back!" Laxus says, jumping up and dashing for their camp.
"Master, they didn't know of your requip magic yet, do they?" Raiden asks me.
"I didn't think about until Makarov said something. Don't worry, I'll tell him when he gets back here." And ironily, Laxus comes back right after I finish talking.
"Here, my spare pair of shoes and a jacket. I'm a bit bigger than you but it should work in a tight spot." Laxus smiles, holding out the larger clothing to me.
"I should have said something before you ran off, but I got some other clothes in my requip. I'll just go change in those bushes over there, and NO peeking!" I glance at both of them. I turn away from them and requip one of my few favorite outfits. A whilte long sleeve turtleneck, white and blue steel greaves with fingerless gloves, midnight blue shorts, white knee high leggings with twin light blue strips at the top, light blue and black combat boots, my wakizashi, black leather pauldron on my left shoulder, and my charm necklace that I got from Mother on my fifth birthday. I place my dirty pajamas in my requip and rejoin the others. As I walk back to them, I notice Raiden has left already for the Haven, the space in my mind that they live in.
"Alright, now that you're ready, we can start heading to Magnolia Town. If that is alright with you, Silvia?" Makarov asks with a smirk on his face.
"Yeah, I can't wait for you to meet everyone! We're like one big happy family!" Laxus smiles, lifting a bag onto his shoulder.
"Of course, let's head out! Lead the way, Master Makarov, Laxus." I smile back at them. Makarov walks ahead of Laxus and I, while rush up to me and grabbing my hand.
"Come on, let's go!" Laxus smiles, pulling me forward. I smile at him and follow his pull.
Time to meet the Fairy Tail guild, here I come Magnolia Town
Two days later….
Through the two days of travel, I learned many things about them and the guild. Heard many adventures, tall tales, and missions. All the while, I show them my skills as a warrior and a singer, thanks to my parents. And right around noon, we arrived at Magnolia Town, home to the Fairy Tail guild. They point out shops they like to visit as we walk to the guild. We pass many people and they greet them with great joy. As we arrive at the gate, excitement swells inside me, making my entire body shake. I can hear the guild's notorious fighting and yelling through the door.
"Well, what are we what for?" Makarov smiles then kicks open the door. The guild freezes, silently turning towards us, looking at us in shock.
"MASTER! LAXUS!" the entire guild cheers, temporarily making me deaf. Multiple people approach them, welcoming them back.
I gotta admit, I feel a bit out of place here. It definitely doesn't help I basically know everything about the guild.
"Silvia, come on! You got to meet everyone!" Laxus says, pulling me to the center of the crowd. As we approach them, the guild members finally take notice of me.
"Hey, Laxus, finally got yourself a girlfriend!" a random member yells out to us.
"WHAT! No! This is Silvia, and she's joining our guild!" Laxus yells at them. All of them turn to stare at me, making me feel uneasy.
"Um, hi? I'm Silvia Estelle Mirai, I would be honored to join your guild." I bow to them, shocking most of them.
After a moment of silence and staring, they burst into cheers, making me jump back in surprise. I turn to look at Laxus, and see him smiling at me. He quickly grabs my hand again and pulls me to the bar where Enno, future mother of Romeo.
"Hi there, little lady, what do you need?" she smiles, putting down the glass she happen to be cleaning.
"Hi, Enno! This is Silvia and she's joining the guild!" Laxus answers for me and I nod at his words. Her grin widens with her eyes shining with joy. She turns away to grab something behind the bar. And when she turns back around, I see the famous Fairy Tail stamp.
"Alright, Silvia, where would you like the mark and what colors would you like?" Enno asks me.
"I would like it in the right side of my neck, and the colors with be deep purple with a gold border around it." I tell her as I move my collar a bit for her. She nods at my request and sets the colors for the stamp. After being set, like I asked, she pressed it against the right side of my neck. She backs, showing Laxus my guild mark.
"That's so cool! Welcome to the family, Silvia!" Laxus smiling at me. Then a random member of the guild, who happened to be Macao, Romeo's father.
"Say, why did you those colors?" Macao asks me.
"Oh, they're the colors of both of my parents' eyes." I tell him, seeing no harm in telling him.
"Really? If you don't mind me asking, where are your parents?" Macao asks, a bit too curious.
"MACAO!" Enno screams at him, looking at him horror. Her scream stopped the entire guild and now everyone is staring at us. And that whole time, I could feel my face paling at his question and I turn to Laxus for help.
Seeing my extremely pale face, he speaks up yelling at everyone saying, "Hey, her past is doesn't matter, and none of your guys' business! She'll tell you guys when she's ready, so leave her alone!" His yelling surprising them all, and I can feel the blood rushing back to my face. I smile at him, silently thanking him for helping.
After a moment of silence, a booming laughter came from another person I knew, Gildarts, laughing at Laxus. "Well, I guess she is your girlfriend, Laxus!" Gildarts laughs.
"NO! Silvia is my nakama and my best friend! And I will always stand by her side, what about you guys?" Laxus demands, glaring at them. And everyone quickly apologized to us and continue to do what they were doing earlier.
I was amazed by his show of loyalty towards me when he only know me for a few days. "Thanks for defending me, Laxus. But I kinda notice we're the only one our age, or am I wrong?" I ask him.
"Um, I guess that's true, we're the youngest guild members here. But I'm sure others will join us too, so don't worry. But since we are the youngest here, we have to have a senior member with us until one of us turns thirteen." Laxus answers, with an annoyed look on his face. Then pauses, a grin appears on his face like he just got a bright idea. "Hey, how does teaming up sound? With my Lightning Dragon magic and your summons, we could become the strongest team ever!" Laxus gleams towards me, saying his bright idea.
I stare at him for a hot second and quickly smile, "Of course, I will be honored for this opportunity for this team up." Suddenly, everyone around us is cheering.
"Say, I couldn't help but hear you use summons? What kind of summons?" I hear Gildarts ask me. Laxus and I share a mischievous smiles and I mentalily summon Raiden. Everyone quickly jump back at his sudden appearance.
"Hello, Fairy Tail members, I am Raiden, one of Master's summons. Everyone took an instant liking to Raiden and I ended up telling everyone the first time I have ever summon. We get plenty of laughs and I many stories from the other of the guild. As someone in the guild was telling his story, I started to become tired and rested my head on Laxus. Slowly falling asleep on his shoulder with a smile on my face.
