Earlier That Day With Lucy and Gray
"I'm really starting to have second thoughts about this, Gray...Are you sure we should've taken this job?" Lucy asked, nervously. The two of them had already asked five different people about getting a ride to Galuna Island and all of them were too terrified to go anywhere near the island.
"Lighten up, Lucy," Gray replied, dismissing her concern. "Think of how impressed everyone will be when we come back successfully! You'll have a new gate key, prove that Natsu made the right call in bringing you, and who knows? Maybe I'll even get promoted to S-Class!"
"And if we can't complete the mission?"
"..."
"..."
"..."
"GRAY?!"
"Well, just don't think about it too much."
"I knew I shouldn't have come…"
It was on their sixth attempt that lady luck seemed to finally be on their side, as they spotted a lone fisherman on a dock near his boat. The man had relatively dark skin, a black mustache, a black cap, and wore a green cloak over his body.
"Excuse me, sir," Gray asked. "Would you be able to take us to Galuna Island?"
"Eh? Why would you wanna go there? That there's a cursed place, they call it Demon Island. You won't find anyone crazy enough to go there around these parts," the man replied.
"Gray, that's it. Let's just get back to Fairy Tail…"
"Wait, did you say Fairy Tail?" the fisherman questioned, suddenly very interested.
"Yeah, why? Did you-"
"So you're mages?" he asked again, hopefully.
"You bet we're mages!" Gray responded confidently. "I'm gonna freeze that damn curse!"
"That's not how curses work, Gray…" Lucy deadpanned.
"Get on."
"Eh?" Lucy questioned, bewildered by his sudden change.
"Hurry up!"
"Come on, Lucy! He's gonna take us!" Gray said, dragging the blonde into the boat.
The group was now on board the small boat and beginning to set sail for the island.
"So, um, Mr.-" Lucy started.
"My name's Bobo," the fisherman replied.
"Right, Bobo. How come you decided to take us? I thought you said everyone was too scared to go on that island."
Bobo sighed and scratched his head nervously. "The truth is, I'm from Galuna Island. Look at this." He pulled back his cloak unveiling his left arm. The appendage looked like that of a demon, purple and scaled with talons on his hands.
"I-is that th-th-the curse?" Lucy stuttered out.
"Not really," Bobo explained. "When you get there, you can't tell them anything about what I'm about to tell you. It could be dangerous."
"Just spit it out, old man. How are we supposed to help them if you don't give us any information?" Gray pressed.
"Yeah...I'm not sure exactly what's causing it, but the curse itself is misleading. There is no curse that turns us into demons, everyone who lives on that island is already a demon."
"Th-th-they're all d-d-d-demons?" asked Lucy, nervously.
Bobo nodded and continued his explanation. "Don't be too afraid, young lady. They're just like me, but there is a problem. I don't know what happened, but they all think that they're humans who've been turned into demons. I remembered that I was a demon all along and that we all were, but when I tried to convince them, but they wouldn't listen. The chief, who's my own father, made the decision to have me executed. I was fortunate enough to escape before that happened though... Something happened to their minds, but I'm afraid that's all I can tell you."
"Hold on, how do you just forget that you're a demon?" Gray questioned. "That doesn't make any sense."
"I'm afraid that's all I know. The rest is up to you…"
"Well, great-"
(Rumble)
"I'm not sure-"
(RUMBLE)
"How exactly-"
(RUMBLE RUMBLE)
"What is that- SWEET MAVIS!"
"AAHHHHHH!" Lucy screamed.
Approaching the boat was a massive wave, not big enough to be a tsunami, but far too large to not swallow the boat whole.
"BOBO! GET US-WHERE'D BOBO GO?" Lucy shouted again.
"HE'S GONE?!" Gray questioned loudly.
"I DON'T WANNA DIE YET!" Lucy cried.
SPLOOSH CRASH
The wave crashed into the boat, smashing it to pieces and dragging the two underwater. They struggled against the waves for a while, occasionally managing to get up for air when eventually, they were smashed into something that felt a lot like…
'Ground?' Lucy thought. "I'm alive? I'm alive! Gray! I lived!"
"Sprrk frgh yrsrf, brndr," Gray replied, his head buried in a pile of sand.
"Come again?" Lucy sweatdropped.
Gray got his head out and spit out the sand from his mouth. "I said speak for yourself, blondie! What the hell was that? And what happened to Bobo? How could he just disappear like that?"
"How should I know? This whole mission was your idea! Don't forget that!" Lucy snapped back. "And how is it that the one instance where it would make sense for your shirt to have disappeared, IT'S STILL ON?"
"Tch...whatever...It looks like we're here, why don't we meet up with the client."
"Fine…" So the two washed up mages shook off their damage, and began walking through the jungle. Was it magic? Was it plot convenience? Who knows, but this special island named for the moon did in fact have a jungle, oblivious to the fact that such a climate would not support such an ecosystem…
A short walk later, and they arrived at a ginormous gate. It was made entirely of large wooden spikes that towered over the mages.
"Excuse me!" Gray called up.
"Who goes there?" A guard responded, poking his head over the gate. "And what do you want?"
"We're from Fairy Tail to help with the curse," Gray replied.
"Why weren't we notified of this?" another guard questioned, eyeing them suspiciously.
"It-er- something must have happened with the paperwork," Gray lied. As unconvincing as his lie was, they only seemed mildly suspicious.
"Show us your guild marks," the first guard told him.
They complied, Gray lifting his shirt to reveal his guild mark location on his chest and Lucy showing them her hand that had her guild mark on it.
"They seem real to me," the first guard told the second, who scratched his chin for a moment.
"I'd say we strip the girl to be certain," he replied.
"KYAA! PERVERT!" Lucy shrieked, covering herself.
The first guard smacked the second on the head. "Sorry about that, my partner here is a bit of an idiot. We'll lower the gate and tell the chief of your arrival."
"Thanks," Gray called back, and the guard waved back.
Shortly after, the gate lowered, forming somewhat of a drawbridge for the two mages to enter the village. They did and were met with a large crowd of villagers, all wearing near-identical cloaks that covered their bodies.
"Thank goodness you've come!" a short old man exclaimed. He had extremely long white sideburns and wore a cloth that somewhat resembled a skirt. Around his neck was a necklace with a small skull ornament and various other things that appeared to be teeth or talons of some sort. His back was in a permanent hunch and he sported a very serious expression. "We've been in such desperate need of help!"
"Not a problem old man," Gray replied.
"My name's Moka, and I'm the village chief," he explained. "I think we should skip the pleasantries and get straight to the point. Everyone? Remove your cloaks!"
Following his instructions, the villagers proceeded to remove their respective coverings, showing the Fairy Tail mages a crowd of people, each with a varying demonic piece of them. Some of them had a purple leg, others had a green arm, and more still had part of their face turned into a scaly demonic blue.
"You see? We have been cursed by the power of the moon! During the day, we are able to stay like this, but when the moon comes out…" Moka explained, as the moon, almost too conveniently demonstrating his point, proceeded to come out from its cloud cover. Peculiarly, the moon itself had a devilish purple glow, and as it shone down upon the villagers, they all proceeded to grip their heads in anguish. Some fell to their knees, and others held their loved ones and whispered reassurances. Soon after, each of them had fully transformed into various demons. They still looked very human-like but were adorned with scales, horns, claws, and talons. Some were purple, some were green, and others were a pale blue.
"Well," Gray said dryly. "That's not something you see every day."
"This is not a time for jokes, you idiot!" Lucy snapped.
"Please young mages," the chief pleaded. "The moon is the cause of this wretched curse that plagues us. It transforms us into demons against our will, and some even lose their minds! I was forced to order the execution of my own son...my poor child...because he lost his mind. I have but one simple request to save my villagers. Please! Destroy the moon!"
Lucy almost fell over at the statement. 'Destroy the moon? That's not even possible!'
"Seems easy enough," Gray casually nodded. "But first, I'd like to take a look around. Would you mind allowing us a place to rest for the night?"
"Thank you, mages! If it gives you the strength to destroy the moon for our humble village, we will gladly allow you to rest here! Please, accompany me this way and I shall show you and your associate to a place."
Lucy was still giving a stunned expression to Gray but nonetheless followed the two as the chief led them to a spare room. It was small, but would serve them as a place to rest for the night, and had bedrolls and pillows set out for them. Moka thanked the two once again for their assistance and left.
"Why did you tell them we could destroy the moon?" Lucy questioned exasperatedly. "That's not even possible! And even if it was possible, we couldn't do that!"
"Yeah, I guess we would miss all those special full moon parties back at Fairy Tail," Gray mused, agreeing with the blonde.
"WHY IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE CONCERNED ABOUT?"
"Calm down, obviously we can't destroy the moon," Gray explained, settling down on his bedroll. "I just said that because it's what the chief asked us to do. We're gonna look around and try to figure out what's actually causing this so-called 'curse'."
"Are you sure we should trust that Bobo guy? I mean, he just vanished out of thin air!"
"To be honest, I'm not sure. But what I am sure of is that we shouldn't say anything about it to the villagers. We'll get to the bottom of this tomorrow."
Lucy sighed and settled down on her bedroll, which she made sure was across the room from Gray's. The ice mage was a bit confused but she made it very clear that his 'ineptitude to stay dressed' would not allow them to sleep in such close proximity. Gray of course huffed at her but didn't really care. He was on an S-Class mission with a partner as a backup, and he would finally be able to prove himself to the Master, Natsu, Laxus, and the rest of the guild.
The two mages were asleep rather quickly and continued to remain so for the rest of the night. Unfortunately, they would be in for a rather terrifying awakening…
Speaking of which, it was now morning. The light was pouring through the windows of the room as Gray began to slowly awaken.
"Gray…" a menacing voice said.
"Oh, great," Gray mused. "A nightmare…"
"Oh, I assure you it will be," the voice said, yanking him up by his collar. "WHAT ON EARTH WERE YOU THINKING?!"
"E-E-Erza, uh...hi," Gray stuttered, now fearing for his life.
"Bad move, iceman," a second voice spoke up. Gray glanced at it, and it turned out to be Natsu, who was currently sitting down next to a very much restrained Lucy. She had been tied to a chair and gagged and was currently being lectured to about various types of exotic fish by Happy.
"N-Natsu h-h-help m-me! Please!" Gray begged, still being gripped by the irate knight.
"Hmmm," Natsu mused, standing and approaching the duo. "Erza, would you do me a favor and release our resident ice mage?"
Gray's face was lit up with what could only be described as pure hope. Maybe he wouldn't die today. However, he should have known that much worse punishment would come from Salamander, especially if it was in place of Erza's. Fortunately, those thoughts were not in his mind, and all he could think about was hoping this beacon of saving light would come through.
"What are you talking about, Natsu?" Erza demanded. "Gray ran off on an S-Class quest without permission, bringing along a brand new member, and you expect me to let him off without additional punishment?"
"Of course not, Erza," Natsu placed one hand on her shoulder, slightly calming the raging fairy queen. "However, I will need him restrained while I explain some things to him, and afterward, I need him in one piece. You have my word that I will personally see to it that he shall receive any and all punishment you see fit by any hand you wish to give it to him."
Gray paled, finally realizing that this was not him being saved, however, his punishment being delayed and perhaps increased.
Erza glared momentarily, before dropping him on the ground. "Fine...You owe me big time for this, Natsu."
"Of course, Erza," Natsu smiled, causing a slight blush on the redhead. "As for you, Gray…"
Still too terrified to really put up much of a struggle, Natsu restrained him with ease and set him next to Lucy, who watched the entire event in terror. What shocked her, even more, was how calm Natsu was and how easily he was able to subdue the redhead.
"Now, before I begin my part of the lecture," Natsu said, grabbing Happy and sitting across from the now restrained runaways. "I believe Erza has a few...words...for you. Remember Erza, I need them unharmed...For now anyway."
Erza frowned slightly, but would not be deterred. They had broken rules, and she would see to it they'd be punished regardless of how long she'd have to wait to ensure they would receive it. The next ten minutes or so were quite loud, filled with shouts, threats, and graphic descriptions from Erza on exactly what they did wrong, why it was wrong, how stupid they were, and how exactly she was planning on punishing them. Needless to say, they were quite well terrified.
"However," Erza finished, breathing deeply and pausing. "That is only part of the reason we're here. Natsu, why don't you explain."
"Thank you, Erza," Natsu told her, standing. "I appreciate you restraining yourself to such a level." Erza smiled back.
'THIS WAS RESTRAINT?!' Lucy thought.
'I'm dead...this is the last day...after this, I die…' Gray wallowed to himself.
"Now, as Erza mentioned we are here to punish you for being idiots as well as making sure you don't die from a stupid mistake, however that is not the only reason we're here." Natsu removed the gags from both mages, as he would now need some interaction. "Gray, it is very important that you stay relaxed, or I shall punish you as well as Erza. You know I don't enjoy punishing people, but I'm sure you remember what happened last time...Don't you?"
Gray paled even further. Natsu rarely personally punished anyone, he didn't really need to or want to. The order of the guild was kept by Erza or Mirajane; they were the guild's punishers. Unfortunately, however, one day not too long before Natsu disappeared, someone had made the mistake of knocking the cheesecake that Natsu had specially gotten for Erza on a new dress Mira had gotten from a friend. Needless to say, the guilty party was terrified of the wrath of the two punishers, but quickly realized he had a much bigger threat to deal with. Natsu took the reins on that one, and such a true display of fear has not been seen since. No one ever talked about it, just the thought was enough to make the entire guild shiver.
"W-wha-what did he d-do?" Lucy trembled.
"You don't want to know…" Gray muttered, before agreeing to the dragon slayer's demands. Even Erza's spine went slightly cold at the memory.
"Good. Now, the reason I am here is by special request of a friend. As much as I enjoy an eloquent speech, I will get right to the point. I take it you are very aware of Deliora, correct?"
"How do you know about that?" Gray demanded, most fear forgotten.
"Easy, there Gray. I want to hear your story, but first I will answer your question. I am aware that your teacher Ur cast the spell Iced Shell in order to seal away that demon. Is that true?"
"How do you know that?" Gray demanded.
"It is my current mission to save her life," Natsu responded flatly.
Gray's eyes widened and his jaw dropped.
"Wait, what's Iced Shell?" Lucy asked.
"That's not possible, Natsu…" Gray replied sadly, ignoring Lucy's question. "I've come to terms with it…"
"One moment, Lucy," Natsu halted the blonde's questioning. "I want you to tell me everything you know about Deliora as well as what happened with Ur. I understand this is painful for you, I know all too well what it's like having someone you look up to sacrifice themselves in front of you, but this is vitally important."
Gray took a deep breath and his eyes went to the floor. "Fine…"
Flashback - Gray's Childhood
In the Northern continent of Glaiterra, there was a mid-sized town known as Piersk. It was by no means a wealthy area, but it also wasn't too poor. It wasn't a tiny town with only one store and one pub, but it wasn't a massive city with people bursting at the seams. It was perfectly medium, a wonderful place for children to grow up, and a wonderful place for people to live. The shopkeepers were friendly and smiling, there was a park to play in when it wasn't too cold, and everyone seemed to know each other.
Within this town, there was a couple who had just had a child. Their names were Violet and Silver Fullbuster. The child they had was a young boy, who looked remarkably like his father, and they named him Gray. Gray Fullbuster. Gray was a happy child, running around and playing with the other children, always causing some sort of mischief, but they loved him all the same. They were extremely happy together, and life seemed perfect. Of course, whenever life sees perfection, life will try to take it away...
That's the way it seemed to him anyway, as when Gray was only seven years old his village was attacked. It wasn't by anything small, no crazed dark guild or slave traders, but a demon. One of the most powerful demons to ever be created, Deliora, the Demon of Destruction, straight out of the Book of Zeref. It slaughtered everyone and destroyed everything around it. No one survived its rampage, whether they were crushed by buildings, vaporized by the demon's magic, or ripped apart by its talons, they all died. Except for the young boy by the name of Gray Fullbuster.
Just over a day later, a small silver-haired boy and a dark-blue-haired woman came, searching around for survivors. Unfortunately, luck was not on their side, and they scoured the town finding nothing until the silver-haired boy managed to find one.
"Ur! I think this one's alive!" he called.
"Get him on the ground; we have to make sure he's not bleeding," the woman answered.
The two dug him out from the rubble and laid him flat out on the ground. He was, for the most part, unscathed. He had cuts and bruises all around his body, but there didn't seem to be any major lasting damage or broken or disfigured limbs. He was wearing a tattered pair of shorts and a black t-shirt, had black spiky hair, and wore a silver chain around his neck with a cross.
Waking from his slumber, the boy slowly opened his eyes and sat up, seeing the two people in front of him.
"Where am I? And who are you?" he asked, rubbing his head before remembering what was going on. "MOM! DAD! WHERE ARE YOU?"
"Whoah, easy there, kiddo," the woman told him, stopping him from getting up. "You're in no condition to be running around. You got pretty lucky, but that doesn't mean you got out unharmed."
"Are they...did he…" Gray started, his eyes brimming with tears. Ur could only nod, as the child broke down.
After a while, Ur managed to console the boy and offered him her assistance. He initially refused it, not wanting anyone else in his life that could be taken from him, until he learned that she could use magic, and was willing to take him on as a student.
Gray agreed to follow her, deciding then and there he would train under her until he was strong enough to kill Deliora and get revenge on the demon that took everything from him. Her training methods, however, were far more...bizarre...than he had anticipated. As a master of ice-make magic, it was important that the two boys become one with the ice, and so they would go running around in the snow stripped to their underwear every single day. This is exactly where Gray developed his rather unfortunate habit of constantly removing his wardrobe.
Two years went by like this, Gray practicing hard to learn magic to one day avenge his family. His attitude improved slightly, but he was always cold and distant...difficult to approach and speak to. It was obvious why, as he was terrified of forming a connection with someone only for that connection to be one day taken away from him.
It was around this time that Gray learned of Deliora's location again. He felt like he was ready, his life's mission was now within reach, and, ignoring the pleas from his master and fellow student that he was crazy and wasn't nearly strong enough, left to seek his revenge.
He arrived at the city the demon was currently rampaging through and quickly realized what he was truly up against. He was no match for the demon, as it barely even noticed the fact that Gray was attacking it. The ice-make child was quickly subdued by the demon and knocked unconscious by a flying rock that struck him in the temple.
He awoke sometime later to see his fellow student and teacher in combat against the demon. Much to his protest, they were insistent on fighting the demon, however, even with the legendary ice-make wizard Ur herself, they were no match for such a beast. Lyon was knocked out and landed alongside the injured Gray, while Ur was near exhaustion, and on her last legs.
"Gray, take Lyon and run," Ur stated calmly.
"Are you crazy? I can't do that! It's my fault you guys got caught up in this, I should be the one to die so you two can escape!" Gray protested.
"You know I would never let that happen, Gray," Ur replied and smiled softly at the child. Her student, one of the two lights in her life that came in her time of need, while she was suffering from the loss of her daughter. "I made a promise to you, two years ago, and it is one I intend on keeping."
Gray's eyes widened, remembering how Ur promised to seal away his darkness, and save him from it. "What are you doing? Just run! Please, you already did! I'll do anything you say, I'll never ignore your lectures again! Just, please! Please don't die for me!" he begged.
"I'm not going to die Gray, but I don't plan on losing you either," Ur explained, confidently approaching the demon. "I'm going to seal away your darkness, and become its cage, so you can walk free from such a burden."
"What does that mean? Ur! PLEASE, JUST RUN!" Gray cried.
"OVER HERE DEMON FREAK!" Ur shouted. "YOU HURT MY STUDENTS, YOU DESTROYED THIS VILLAGE, AND YOU'VE CAUSED ENDLESS SUFFERING TO THIS WORLD! IT'S TIME FOR YOU TO DIE!"
The demon roared back, almost glaring at the audacity of the mere human to threaten him so.
Ur entered a stance, with her knees bent at shoulder-width apart. Her arms were extended in front of her, crossed at the wrist, as she began to chant a spell. "Ice holds and ice heals, ice breaks and ice seals, it is with these laws of ice I wield, that ice shall force your king to yield."
Magic power swirled around the ice-make teacher, her eyes were closed, and the air temperature dropped. The demon could almost sense what was about to happen as it unleashed a roar and took a step back.
"UR! WHAT ARE YOU DOING? UR!" Gray screamed.
"Iced SHELL!" she shouted, separating her arms and shooting tendrils of ice at the demon, who immediately began to scream in agony. As the demon began to freeze over in a massive block of ice, Ur's skin slowly began to turn that of ice and crack. "Gray, I have kept my promise to you. I've sealed your darkness away. You can finally move on."
"UR, PLEASE! DON'T DO THIS! WHAT ABOUT US? WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO WITHOUT YOU?"
"I'm sure the two of you will do wonderful on your own," Ur replied, a soft smile on her face. "I'd like you to do one last thing for me. Tell him I died. If he were to know the truth, he'd waste his entire life finding a way to break the seal. Can you do that for me, Gray?"
"I-I can't lose you too…" Gray whispered.
"You will live on, Gray," Ur said, slowly disappearing and her voice drifting off into the wind. "You will leave your darkness to me, and find your light…"
With that, she was gone. Where once was a demon of destruction, rampaging an already destroyed town, was now a gigantic prison of ice. A solid block, towering over everything, the creature sealed inside. Gray broke down for the second time in his life, screaming his anguish to the heavens above.
When his fellow student finally woke up, it was a hard conversation. He blamed Gray for the death of Ur, which Gray agreed with. After all, it was his decision to chase the demon. If he had listened to them, they would all still be here. But it was too late now. Deliora had turned his mistake into the life of his teacher and took away his second family.
Gray was lost for a time, just in anguish and misery, but eventually, he recalled a conversation he had had with his master about a year into his training. She had told him there were tons of wizards that were stronger than her elsewhere, and all he had to do was look for them. It was with this advice, that Gray made his way to Ishgar and eventually to Magnolia where he ran into and joined Fairy Tail…
Flashback End
"Gray…" Lucy said softly.
"It's never easy, is it?" Natsu replied, kneeling in front of the still tied up Gray. "The easy thing to do is blame yourself and throw everything away, wallowing in what could have been. True strength is overcoming pain, and true happiness comes only from knowing despair. The fact that you are still here means you have won the battle, you have found your strength and your happiness in Fairy Tail. My father always used to tell me, you can't change the past, but you can live on for others who couldn't make it with you to the future."
"I don't need your speeches, narutomaki-head," Gray scoffed. Natsu chuckled at his creativity and stood back up. "Thank you…" Gray whispered, only audible to the expert hearing of the dragon slayer.
"Now, back to why I'm here. Deliora is currently on this island, and my mission is to unseal the demon the proper way before a group of cultists can finish doing it their way."
An Unknown Location In Fiore
A young woman was sitting comfortably at the table of her small apartment. She had just returned home from her job, where she worked as a waitress in a local restaurant and decided to spend the evening relaxing. For the most part, the woman was alone. She had a few friends, though they were more friendly acquaintances seeing as they never truly did anything together. The days were long and difficult, her nights were occasionally filled with dreams of smoke and fire. It was a painful existence, but the words of someone she used to know she would always hold very dear to her. They gave her the strength to keep moving, to keep living, and so she did. One day, she would find something better to pour herself into, and maybe that day she would be happy again. Sadly, that day had not arrived...or had it?
She was sitting at the table, having just finished her evening meal, with a cup of tea and a magazine. The magazine was a rather famous and well-known one, and normally it wouldn't interest her, but it was placed in her mailbox by mistake and she figured it was something to do. It was the latest issue of Sorcerer Weekly, and, seeing as she didn't know magic and the very premise of magic brought with it some rather painful memories, it was no wonder that she didn't care so much for the magazine. Regardless, she was reading a few articles while occasionally sipping her tea.
Feel the roar of the mighty tiger! Sabertooth is known as the strongest guild in Fiore! Finally having surpassed Fairy Tail during the past years' Grand Magic Games, we decided to get an inside scoop on how they're doing! Keep reading for exclusive interviews with some of their finest mages, including the mighty Twin Dragons, Lady Minerva, and so much more!
'Dragons, huh…' the woman thought, reliving a memory with a sad smile. Brushing a lock of green hair away from her eye, she continued reading, until she eventually stumbled across an article that truly caught her attention.
The loss of two S-Class mages hit Fairy Tail hard, causing them to lose their place as the number one guild in Fiore, but is that a thing of the past? Rumor has it that the Mysterious Dual Salamander of Fairy Tail had finally returned after his long journey! We sent a reporter over right away to get the inside scoop, straight from the source! Has he truly returned? The rumored king of fire magic and contestant for the strongest mage in Fairy Tail? Read below to find out!
Jason here with the coolest story ever! I went inside to get the coolest exclusive interviews on the return of Fairy Tail's COOLEST member! The Mysterious Dual Salamander! If you missed our last issue on this legendary mage, here's all the information we have on this elusive master of flames!
The Mysterious Dual Salamander
Real Name: Unknown
Height: Approximately six-feet tall
Weight: Approximately 200lbs
Magic: White and Orange Fire
Known Teammates: Happy, Mirajane Strauss, Erza 'Titania' Scarlett, Lisanna Strauss
In this issue of Sorcerer Weekly, we interviewed some of the Salamander's closest associates and have a few more things to add! Find the interview below!
As the young woman continued to read, several tears appeared in her eyes, a few leaking out to trail slowly down her cheek. 'Two types of fire...A trophy hunter...It...couldn't be him…' she thought to herself. 'How could it? But...that's Happy...he's...he's alive?'
Now with a steady stream of tears flowing freely from her eyes, though she didn't notice it, she made her decision. 'I...I can hope for this...I can...It's gotta be him, right?' she thought to herself. "I'm gonna do it! I'm going to Fairy Tail!"
With that declaration, she finally realized that she was a mess of tears, and cleaned herself up. Tonight, she ensured that the magazine that gave her hope would be in excellent condition, so she found some clear kitchen wrap and packaged it. Tomorrow, she would inform the restaurant that she was planning on moving. The next day she would pack her things, and inform her landlord of her departure, paying the final bit of rent. The day after that, she would begin her travels. Not having a clue where Fairy Tail is, nor if she truly would find who she was looking for, she was confident, and so she settled down to bed, finally having a smile on her face that had long since disappeared…
