Two hours later Zeldris entered the east edge of Magnolia, smiling as he gazed at the buildings in town. Mesmerized by the sight of it all; most of the citizens were getting ready for the winner's parade for the ten famous wizards that tied winning the games. No one gave Zeldris much of a look. He didn't mind; he was never one to make a grand entrance.

30 minutes after walking through town, he finally found it, the Fairy Tail guild hall. A massive colorful and well-designed multistory building. He softly opened the door to enter and noticed the guild was quite empty. Only a few people were in there, maybe 10 if you were generous. One or two looked at Zeldris but quickly went back to their drinking.

Walking slowly to the bar area, he greeted a kind young woman, ravishingly beautiful, in a one piece burgundy dress with a subtly revealing neckline, flowing white hair and a smile that could light up the darkest of places. She smiled at Zeldris as he sat down on one of the stools, across what looked like a tiny bearded old man sipping on some booze.

"Excuse me miss, is this the Fairy Tail guild?" Zeldris asked, eager to hear her confirmation.

The woman smiled happily replying, "Yes, you're in the right place. Are you just traveling through the town?" she asked.

Zeldris grinned ear to ear hearing her words. "Well, I've been traveling to Magnolia hoping to join this guild. Seeing that incredible display during the grand magic games proved to me that you guys are the strongest group of wizards in the world!"

Mira let out a soft chuckle. The old man smirked and then spoke "Well, if you thought that was awesome, you ought to go on a few jobs with them; they're as powerful as they are reckless and then some."

Mira let out a more noticeable giggle saying "if you say so Master, they have saved the world a few times, but they'll destroy almost everything they try to protect".

The old man let out a very long sigh. "Well yes, that is also true, so boy, you want to join this guild I assume?"

Zeldris smiled and nodded. "Of course sir. Who is the master of this guild, so that I may properly request my entrance into this guild?"

The old man perked up, letting out a small snort. "That would be me, silly boy."

Zeldris quickly had a small look of panic on his face, abruptly straightening up his body to proper form "Uh yes sir, very nice to meet you master! I apologize for not knowing but what are your names, if you don't mind me asking?"

"I'm Mirajane but just call me Mira, and this here is our Master, Makarov," Mira said, acting like it was no big deal.

Zeldris went wide-eyed. "I am in the presence of the she-devil and one of the 10 wizards saints!" he gasped, not believing what he was seeing.

Mira smiled sweetly, basking in her own glory a little. Finally Makarov spoke, wanting things to get a move on. "Well young man, before I let you in, what kind of magic do you possess, or are you still learning?"

Zeldris shook his head. "Well sir, my magical power is Full Counter; I can deflect any magical attack thrown at me and send it back to the caster at double strength."

The master and Mira looked at each other, rather surprised. "Well that's interesting, do you have anything for offense?"

Zeldris shrugged, "Well that's my problem I guess. I am a pretty decent swordsman; do you have someone who can hone my swordsmanship so that I can fight properly? Please?" The master pondered for a few moments as soon the roar of the crowd could be heard outside.

"Well, Erza would be the best bet on that; let's see what she has to say, but she would be the best to train you."

Mira nodded happily to agree. "Just wait right here. Within the hour she'll be here, is there anything you want to drink?"

Zeldris thought for a moment "I guess some water would be nice, please."

Mira gave him a wooden stein, filled to the brim with clear cold water. Zeldris began to sip on the water, passing the time, until Erza walked in, her incredible beauty surpassed only by the factor of her intimidation. An armored woman with a reputation that came second only to her magical power.

She walked up beside Zeldris in his red clothing, looking at him oddly. "So master, who is this?"

The master looked up at her. "This is Zeldris; he's our newest recruit, just got in about an hour ago. He's looking for some training, and we thought you'd be best to train him."

Erza pondered and gave a sly smile. "Well then Master, I accept his request. Zeldris, if you're ready to go, there's a place near Hargeon that I know that is excellent for training."

Zeldris smiled, sliding off the chair happily "Yes ma'am, I'm ready to go!" he said, like an eager puppy.

"Master, I'll also be taking Wendy with me, I wished to do some training with her as well if you don't mind."

The master shrugged "I don't mind, just be careful."

Erza walked over to the job board, grabbing a flyer and began to walk to the door. "Come on Zeldris, if we catch the evening train we'll be there before midnight." Zeldris smiled, and eagerly followed out the door, ready to begin his training with a true Fairy Tail wizard.
