Chapter 66

Team Wendy's First Job Part 1

It didn't take long for Natsu and the others to explain what was going on. Wendy was hoping to go out on a job in Onibas by herself to help a man who owned a theater who was in dire need of a wizard to soothe his heart named Rabian. A man of which Team Natsu had a bad history with. Apparently, he worked them to the bone on in a train wreck of a play called "Frederich and Angelica." Carla was against Wendy going on the job as well due to being worried for Wendy's safety and thinking the job was shady, but Wendy refused to listen to her and insisted that she was going anyway. Carla then refused to go with her which made Wendy want to take the job herself which lead to Makarov making the team that I was currently in.

I didn't have any problems with going with Wendy and Happy, but meeting Fried Justine was a new one for me. From what I can gather from what Mira told me, he's a man who has major loyalty to Laxus, his magic is a form of letter magic called Dark Écriture which granted him the ability to write runes and enchantments, and he was also a member as well as the leader of a team of Laxus' elite bodyguards called the Thunder God Tribe. While this was the first time I've met the man, I had no problems working with him.

After a while, we all prepared to go out on the job and were soon standing outside of the guildhall ready to depart with Mira, Natsu, Makarov, and a few others seeing us off.

"Well then, I guess we'll be on our way now," said Wendy.

"Try to be careful out there guys," warned Gray. "Seriously."

"Hey Fried, you better not let anything happen to our girl," winked Cana. "You hear me?"

"I swear on my honor, I will keep her safe," said Fried.

"That goes for you too, Willy," said Mira. "Make sure you take care of Wendy and teach her a lot of things, OK?"

"This is only my second job," I chuckled giving her a thumbs up. "But I'll do my best."

"Remember that this is a learning experience for Wendy," said Makarov. "So please keep your involvement to a minimum."

Happy who was less than happy about the team that was formed was complaining. "Aye sir..." he grumped. "But why us four?"

"Chin up Happy. Look on the bright side," I said trying to soothe things over. "Think of it as a learning experience not just for Wendy, but for us too."

And with that, the four of us departed heading to Magnolia Station.

NO POV

Everyone watched as the strange team set off. Needless to say, everyone felt a bit worried.

"Is it really OK to let Wendy go like this?" asked Lucy. "I mean... will she be alright?"

"I don't really think that there's anything to worry about," said Reedus. "Especially since that Fried and Willy are with her."

"But... he's so weird, serious, and aloof," pointed out Cana. "I can never get a read on that guy. Not to mention that this is Willy's second job."

"I wouldn't be so worried," said Mira. "This may be Willy's second job, but he knows a thing or two about things. Not to mention he's quite adaptable in certain situations. They'll be just fine."

Then Mira noticed Carla who was now watching worriedly as Wendy and the others disappeared into the distance.

"You know Carla if you're that worried about Wendy, you can still catch up with her," she said.

"Who said that I was worried?" asked Carla huffily. "Wendy has made her decision to go on that job and I have no intention of going after her."

Mira could only sigh as Carla then went back into the guild in a huff.

WILLY'S POV

We walked through town until we eventually arrived at Magnolia Station. The place looked very busy if not more so than before. We headed straight for the train bound for Onibas, but then there was trouble. One of the conductors that ran the train stood on top of a platform and spoke through a megaphone.

"Attention, please! Due to a wreck on the tracks, the train to Onibas is not in service!" the man said. "I repeat, the train bound for Onibas Station will not be in service!"

"Well if that doesn't take the biscuit," I said.

"It would seem that our first trial has appeared," commented Fried. "How shall we proceed this?"

Happy then spread his big white wings via Aera Magic. "I'm pretty sure that I can always fly you there," he said. "After all, I can use Aera Magic."

"That's a good idea Happy," I said. "I can use my Aqua Wings too."

Wendy then shook her head. "That's really nice of you two, but I'm supposed to do as much of this job as I can on my own," she said. "So if you two don't mind, I'd prefer to walk all the way to Onibas."

Me and Happy stared at the bluenette in surprise.

"What...?! You can't be serious!" protested Happy. "It'll take us forever to get there by foot!" He then flew over to the green-haired swordsman. "Come on Fried! Say something! Talk some sense into her!"

Fried then hummed deep in thought. Then he gave his response. "Indeed. I'll have to agree," he said.

"You see? Even Fried agrees with me!" said Happy.

At first, Happy thought that Fried was agreeing with him, but he was wrong.

"I too shall walk," said Fried.

Happy fell straight to the floor with shock while Wendy and I looked at Fried while he explained.

"It is my primary duty to respect Wendy's decisions and support her during this job," he said. "It is the one rule that Master gave me and therefore I must follow it."

Wendy grinned. "Thank you so much, Mr. Fried," she said.

"But... are you sure that this is the best way to go about this Wendy?" I asked. "I mean in my opinion, it would be a lot faster using our wings. If we walked all the way to Onibas, you might get too exhausted to handle the job. You should try to think smarter, not harder."

"At least Willy gets it," muttered Happy.

"I understand Willy and I get it," said Wendy. "But I'll be fine. Don't worry. I'll be OK walking."

"Are you really sure?" I asked. "Because Happy and I don't mind helping you. I mean, after all, we are your teammates."

"I know, but I still think that we should walk," insisted Wendy. "Or... is that not OK?"

Wendy then looked at me with a begging look in her eyes. I could see that she was sticking to the plan and that was that, so I had no choice but to accept it.

"Alright then," I said. "If that's what you wanna do, then I shall walk as well."

Wendy's smile then returned. "Thank you so much for listening to me Willy," she said.

"Are we seriously going to walk all the way there?!" complained Happy.

"Well, if you want to be more precise," said Fried. "Me, Wendy, and Willy are going to be doing the walking. You, on the other hand, will no doubt fly."

Happy glared at Fried. "And what in the heck kind of difference does that make?!" he snapped.

"Accuracy can make a world of difference," spoke Fried simply. "As an enchantment user, I must always be precise with my words."

"Either way, it's gonna take forever to get there," groaned Happy.

"Look on the bright side Happy, think of it as a learning experience," I said. "We're not gonna get anywhere if you keep complaining."

"Willy's right. I'd like to get there by sunset," Wendy said. "So let's get going."

Then the four of us left Magnolia Station and were on our way to Onibas with only our legs as a means of transportation.

Soon enough, we were walking through the forest. I really didn't mind walking that much due to the training I did back when I was little. Not only did it help me stay in shape, but it made me appreciate nature as well. We walked for quite a long time before Happy started complaining again.

"Geez... this is crazy," he groaned. "I still can't believe we're walking to Onibas..."

"I'm sorry if I'm putting you guys through all this trouble," apologized Wendy. "I must be making this job more difficult."

"No need to apologize," said Fried. "You're our comrade after all."

"Fried's right. Pay no attention to Happy," I added. "I'm just surprised that he's so tired when all he's been doing is flying."

"Come on you guys..." Happy continued. "Can't we please take a break now?"

"I don't think that's a good idea," replied Wendy. "There's a thunderstorm coming pretty soon."

"How do you know that?" I asked. "Can you sense the weather or something with your Sky Dragon Magic?"

"Yes. I can use my magic to read the air currents in the sky and then I can predict the weather," explained Wendy.

"Wow. That's pretty cool," I said. "Kinda like me sensing water currents. And you say that there's gonna be a thunderstorm coming?"

"Oh come on Willy. That can't be," scoffed Happy. "The weather looks so nice today. There's no way that a thunderstorm could..."

But then, the sky turned dark and dark clouds loomed over the sky. And with a mighty flash of lightning and a boom of thunder, the rain came pouring down right on top of us. Happy immediately took back what he said.

"This weather's horrible!" he cried.

"We need to hurry and get out of the rain!" said Wendy.

I then saw a cave that was a few feet away from us. "Over there! Let's take shelter in that cave," I said.

We then ran towards the cave until we made it inside. Then we noticed that Fried was still standing outside of the rain seeming to be desperate about something.

"What the heck is he doing?" I wondered to myself.

"Laxus! I need your guidance!" he yelled to the sky. "I've always followed you for years in my time in the Thunder God Tribe. How would you deal with a situation like this? I need to know the rules! Answer me Laxus!"

"How about you get out of the rain for starters?!" I called out.

"Come on Mr. Fried!" Wendy also called. "We found a cave!"

Fried immediately calmed down and joined us in the cave feeling relieved. "That's much better," he said as he brushed off the rain from his clothes. "It would seem that inaction proved to be the correct choice after all."

"Um... Fried, what are you talking about?" I wondered. "Not to mention that you were yelling something about Laxus."

Fried smiled. "It's nothing you needn't concern yourself with Sir Willy. Don't mind me."

I raised a brow still wondering, but I chose to let it go.

"Sometimes I really start to wonder what's going on in that head of yours," said Happy.

"In any case, we might as well stay in this cave until it stops raining," said Wendy. "It might take a while though."

"Well then, you guys better keep dry in here," I said. "As for me, I'm gonna take advantage of this."

I then stood up and walked out of the cave letting the water drop all over my body. I also hung my mouth open tasting the rain on my tongue.

"Hey, Willy! What are you doing?!" I heard Happy ask incredulously.

I then looked back at the blue cat. "What's it look like I'm doing? I'm drinking the rain," I said. "I mean after all I am a water dragon slayer. Might as well replenish my strength."

"Oh yeah! You can drink all kinds of water to restore your magic power!" said Wendy. "And that includes rainwater!"

"Correct!" I smirked as I let my mouth open once again and resumed drinking the rainwater. "And may I say, this rainwater is delicious!"

NO POV

As Willy continued to stand in the rain drinking the rainwater, someone was watching him in the shadows. He was a young man who wore a vest and a pair of jeans that were tattered and ripped. He then pulled out a paper and took a look at it and then looked back and forth at it and Willy. He then flashed a dark smile.

"No doubt about it. It's him alright," he said to himself. "Wait till I tell the guys about this."

He then raced off as fast as his feet could carry him. He didn't stop running until he ran a few miles away from the cave. He soon reached a camp where a group of other people were camping out. The man ran past them until he came to a tent. He then walked inside to find another man sitting in there.

The man was pretty big and muscular, wore a big opened fur coat that covered his body, pants, and boots. He also had short black hair and eyes that appeared to be one of a cat's that were bright blue.

When the man came in, he turned around giving a growl that gave his visitor the shivers.

"What is it?" he asked. "And this better be good."

"S-sorry for bothering you D-don Ghira sir," said the man. "B-but I have news. Y-you know that boy who's on the wanted poster? W-well he's here. In the forest sir."

The man who was addressed as Don Ghira turned around at stared his subordinate with his blue eyes.

"What did you say?" he asked quietly.

"Th-the boy on the wanted poster sir," stammered the man. "I-I-I've seen him, sir. H-he's here in this forest along with a couple of other wizards."

Don Ghira turned around fully not taking his eyes off of the man. The visitor trembled in fear, even more, thinking that his boss would strike him down or kill him, but to his surprise, the man turned his head back not looking at the man.

"How very fortuitous," he said. "How very fortuitous indeed. Here I was hoping to find that boy in my spare time, but now he's just within reach and all I have to do is collect him." He then looked back at his subordinate. "Are you sure that you saw him?"

"Y-yes Don Ghira sir," said the man.

"Then I want you to go out and with a squad," said Don Ghira. "You will find him and bring him to me. Use whatever force is necessary."

"Yes sir!" said the man as he stepped out of the tent inadvertently leaving the poster behind.

As soon as he left, Don Ghira picked up the wanted poster of Willy of which the man dropped and looked at it.

"So this boy is known as The Traitor of the Baram Alliance eh?" he said to himself. "The boy what was once known as Shark of the Oración Seis. If that's the case, then I shouldn't underestimate the boy. There's no telling how strong he'll be... However, once we catch him, we of the Black Tiger guild will reap the rewards and become the wealthiest dark guild in the world."

He then clenched his fist crunching up the papers and flashed a smile exposing his razor-sharp fangs which glowed in the darkness.

WILLY'S POV

After a while, the rain had finally stopped. However, the sun was beginning to set making the sky a peach orange color.

"Finally! I'm glad the rain let up," sighed Happy with relief.

"Yes, but it's going to be dark soon," said Wendy. "I'm afraid that we'll have to sleep outside for the night."

"Well at least we have that cave serving as our shelter," said Fried. "But there is the issue of provisions."

"Yeah. I agree," I nodded. "We better find some dinner then."

"Hey, Fried. It's not cheating to help us find food you know," said Happy. "Even Master would tell you that it's a health and safety issue."

"I agree with Happy, Fried," I said. "I mean the last thing we want is for everyone to faint from hunger and I know what that's like."

"Fear not. I am fully cognizant of my obligation of what to do and what not to do on this mission," said Fried. "In fact, I have already determined the best source of nutrition and have taken steps to procure it."

"Oh wow! Really?! That's great!" said Wendy excitedly her eyes seeming to sparkle.

"This guy may be super weird, but that's the leader of the Thunder God Tribe for you!" said Happy."I guess there's a good reason why master sent him with us."

"Hey. What about me?" I asked flatly.

Fried then drew his sword from his belt and waved it in front of him causing strange purple letters to appear forming a large square around us.

"Within the bounds of this enchantment," he said. "Wingfish shall fall from the sky!"

At his command, wingfish began raining down from the sky forming a large pile in front of us. Wendy was amazed. I however slightly paled at the sight of them. I've eaten all kinds of fish back when I was little, but one of the most disgusting I've ever eaten the type of fish that was raining down before us. I could still remember the day when I first ate one.

A young Willy was fishing in the ocean hoping to catch some dinner. He hadn't caught anything and he was feeling a bit impatient.

"Man... I haven't caught a single thing," he complained.

He then lied on his back while looking up towards the sky. Then something caught his eye. Something was flying high in the sky just above him. At first, he didn't know what that was, but when he squinted his eyes, he could see what it was. A fish with a pair of wings.

"What the heck?! A fish! And it's got wing!" he exclaimed.

His stomach then let out a growl and that was when he decided to catch it. Using his Water Dragon Aqua Jet, Willy rocketed himself into the sky straight at the wingfish.

Soon enough, Willy caught the wingfish and was cooking it over a fire. When it was done, Willy was ready to eat. Just then, Aquadia came up to him.

"Hello my son," she said. "Eating some lunch?"

"Yup. I'm going to try a fish I've never eaten before!" Willy said grinning. "I can't wait to chow down."

Willy took the fish out of the fire and was about to eat it. Then Aquadia noticed the fish she was eating. This made her worried.

"Um... Willy? I don't think you should be eating that," she said. "That fish isn't really edible."

"Oh come on Mama. I've eaten a lot of fish," Willy said. "I bet this one's tasty too!"

Then Willy took a bite. The moment he did, his face turned blue with disgust and he automatically spat it out and dunked his head in the water to wash out his mouth. After a few seconds, he came up and wiped his tongue.

"That was totally gross!" he complained. "What kind of fish is that?!"

"I'm afraid that was a wingfish, my boy," chuckled Aquadia. "They may be fish with wings, but they're not the tasty type of fish. I learned that the hard way once before."

"Blech! Wingfish are terrible!" I cried in disgust. "I'm never gonna eat one these things again!

"W-wingfish?!" I groaned.

"But why?!" asked Happy.

"Their annual migratory path flows directly over this region," explained Fried. "They come here in flocks at this time of year, so they can find their mates and spawn."

Wendy curiously picked up a fish inspecting it. "So... are these things even edible?" she asked.

Happy shook his head. "I wouldn't exactly call them "edible"," he said. "I remember catching some once and they tasted super gross."

"So you've tasted one too? I know what that's like," I said shivering from the memory. "I've had the displeasure of tasting one myself and it was one of the grossest things I've ever tasted."

Fried then chuckled seeming to be brimming with confidence. "That was no doubt an assertion made by a couple of amateurs," he said. "It from the sound of it, you both tried to grill them. The flaw doesn't lie with the fish, but the preparation of handling them. It takes skill to bring out their natural flavor. A skill of which I'm a master of. I'm also not one to boast, but my comrades of the Thunder God Tribe are rather fond of my cooking and I believe you would be too."

The winged then slowly began to rise up all around Fried and with a few whips of his sword, he cut the meat away from the bones on them and then began to cook them in every which way. Me, Wendy, and Happy all watched in amazement as Fried kept on showing off his cooking skills until he finished. Before us now was a table filled with various different dishes made out of the wingfish.

Happy and Wendy were impressed. I was impressed with this as well, but I was uninterested with the many plates of wingfish.

"This is a nice surprise! I didn't know you could cook Mr. Fried!" said Wendy with wonder.

"Yeah! No kidding! It all looks so good!" said Happy drooling hungrily.

"Presentation is very important after all," said Fried as he took a seat. "Now, please, eat up. And I hope you enjoy the flavor as well."

Happy and Wendy eagerly sat down at the table while I stood there not wanting to eat. No matter how fancy it looked, it was still wingfish and I had the sneaking suspicion that it was going to taste bad. Besides, all this talk of fish had me wanting to catch my own fish.

"What's wrong Willy?" asked Wendy. "Aren't you gonna eat?"

"No thanks," I said. "I'm gonna go ahead and catch my own fish."

"Aw come on Willy. Come on and have some!" urged Happy. "It's not every day that we get to eat a fish buffet like this! Besides, Fried said that he cooked the fish the proper way! Maybe it'll be better!"

"Sorry, but no thanks," I said. "You guys have your fill if you want, but I'm gonna get some real fish."

And with that, I turned and walked off.

"Suit yourself then," said Happy. "You're gonna be missing out!"

"Thank you for the food," I heard Wendy and Happy say.

I couldn't help but turn around wanting to see their reaction. As soon as they put their forks in their mouths, both of their faces went as blue as Wendy's hair and Happy's fur. Then they put their forks down not wanting to taste the bad flavor again.

"It tastes just as exactly the same as when I made it," said Happy. "I guess it isn't about how you prepare it after all."

"I hate to say I told you so, but I told you so," I said chuckling.

"I think I saw some nuts and berries over a bush," said Wendy. "Let's eat some of those."

"Aye," agreed Happy.

"Hey. I've got a better idea," I said. "Why don't you two come with me and I'll show you guys how to get some real fish?"

Wendy's face immediately brightened. "Really? You'll help us?"

"Of course I will," I grinned. "I mean, after all, I am a member of this team. And I know that Master said not to be involved as much as possible, but in a situation like this, I have no choice. Besides, I know a thing or two about surviving like this. I did learn from Aquadia and Master Tu-Chi after all."

"But where are you gonna find fish around here?" asked Happy. "In case you haven't noticed, there isn't exactly a river or a lake or something."

"That's what you think," I said. "Just leave it to me."

I then placed my hand on the ground and closed my eyes.

"AQUA SENSE."

In my mind, sensed all around the area searching for any form of water. So far, I could sense nothing, but Wendy, Happy, and Fried who were close to me and some animals that happened to be in the area. Then I saw it. A few feet away from where we were standing, I could see a body of water just to the right. I then opened my eyes and pointed to my right.

"Over there. I'm sensing a river just about a few feet away from us," I said.

"Seriously? How do you know that?" asked Happy.

"Easy. I used my Aqua Sense spell," I explained. "It allows me to sense water. From the rivers and lakes to the water inside us living things."

"I've always heard about your Aqua Sense, but this is the first time I've seen you use it," said Wendy.

"Sounds like a bunch of hooey to me," said Happy grumpily.

"Come on. I'll lead you guys to the river," I said as I walked ahead of them ignoring Happy's comment. "And while we're at it, we can pick some nuts and berries along the way." I then looked back at Fried who was still sitting on the table eating the meal he prepared. "You coming, Fried? You're gonna get sick from eating all those wingfish."

Fried shook his head. "Nutrition must always trump flavor," he said. "We wizards must keep our strength at any cost. And in addition, one must not waste food no matter how terrible or good."

"Suit yourself then," I said.

We then walked into the forest with me leading the way. After a few minutes of walking, we all heard the sound of gurgling water. We pushed past some tree and we came to a river just like I thought we would.

"Oh wow! There is a river! Just like you said, Willy!" cried Wendy.

"That's amazing! Guess you were telling the truth after all!" said Happy.

"Oh? You're sure it's not just "a bunch of hooey" Happy?" I smirked cheekily.

Happy then bowed respectfully on his paws and knees. "I am so sorry to have doubted you, great Master," he said.

I then walked to the river and dipped my hand into the water testing out the water.

"The streams a little bit shallow, but there should be some fish swimming down here," I said to myself. "Alright then. I'm gonna fish right here."

"You're gonna fish? Right now?" asked Wendy.

"But it'll take forever to fish," complained Happy. "It's almost nighttime and there's no way you'll be able to catch fish right now. Besides, don't you need to have a fishing pole to fish?"

"Not the way I fish," I laughed. "Who needs a pole when I can use my hands?"

I then took off my shirt and my shorts and stretched. Then I stood on the edge of the water preparing to do my thing.

"Willy?! What the heck are you doing?!" I heard Happy cry.

I looked to see that Wendy was blushing bright pink while covering her eyes and Happy was gawking at me as if he had seen a ghost.

"What's it look like I'm doing? I'm gonna fish," I said.

"But why did you take off your clothes?!" exclaimed Happy. "You're not Gray you know! Not to mention that there's a lady here!"

"Well, I always do this when I'm fishing," I replied with a shrug. "I don't see what the big deal is. I used to fish with Aquadia like this all the time and she didn't care. Besides, being like this helps me focus."

I then put on my game face and focused my eyes intently in the water searching for anything that moved. Then I saw it. Just a few feet away in the water, I saw a big, silver, fish. I slowly made my way towards it not wanting to frighten it. Then when I was close enough, I pounced like a cat into the water with a splash. And then I stood up holding the fish by the tail proudly.

"Haha! I caught em!" I proclaimed proudly.

Happy and Wendy stared at me in amazement. Then the two of them applauded.

"Wow! You actually caught a fish with your bare hands!" said Happy. "That was awesome!"

"Hold on a sec," I said. "I'll try to get two more for you two. Shouldn't take me that much longer. In the meantime, keep an eye on my catches OK?"

I then went over to the bank and then set down the fish. Then I went back into the stream taking my stance. It wasn't long before I managed to catch a couple more fish for Wendy and Happy. When I was done, I came out of the stream shook my hair getting the water out and also putting my clothes back on.

"That was incredible, Willy!" said Wendy. "I had no idea you were so skilled at fishing!"

"Yeah! You're like a fishing genius or something!" said Happy.

"I'm just doing what I was taught," I said with a smirk while grabbing the fish. "Anyway, let's get back to the cave. Fried's probably getting worried."

"Aye, sir!" responded Happy.

Later, we made it back to the cave and we took the fresh fish we caught and grilled them over a fire. We also ate some nuts and berries that Wendy and Happy found.

"That was good," sighed Happy patting his stomach. "Best fish I've had for a long time."

"I know. That was pretty tasty fish," said Wendy. "Thank you very much, Willy. You really helped us out."

"It's no big deal," I said. "Glad to be of some help to you guys."

"I'll admit that your style of fishing was a bit weird and surprised me a little bit," said Happy. "But Aquadia's definitely taught you something right if you can fish that well."

I chuckled sheepishly while scratching my cheek. "It's really no big deal," I said smiling. "Like I said before, just doing what I was taught."

"Speaking of Aquadia, I was wondering," said Wendy. "She's your dragon, right? And did she really teach you how to fish like that?"

"Pretty much," I replied. "She taught me how to fish the way you just saw right now." I then looked up at the sky remembering. "I remember the first time I've fished and it wasn't like anything like now. Back in those days, I was still using a fishing pole. Seeing this, Aquadia taught me a better and faster way to catch some. Although, I would have preferred it if the water was deep. It's great to swim in deep waters when you're fishing."

"Well, that makes sense since you're a water dragon slayer," smiled Wendy. "You must really love to swim, huh?"

"You bet I do," I grinned. "I wouldn't be much of a water dragon if I didn't love to swim."

"Did Aquadia teach you how to swim too?" asked Happy.

"Nope. That was thanks to my Mama and Papa," I said. "Aquadia only improved my swimming technique, but the very first people to teach me how to swim was and always will be my Mama and Papa." I leaned back on my shoulders still gazing into the sky feeling nostalgic from remembering my childhood. "I can still remember those days... Ever since they taught me how to swim, we would always swim or go fishing together without a care in the world. It was so much fun and we've never been happier. That was... until..."

I trailed off having to start remembering the attack from my village which left me all by myself and alone. And that began to make me feel a little sad and missing my parents.

"Willy? Are you OK?" I heard Happy ask. "You seem a bit sad now."

"Oh. Sorry about that," I said shaking my head. "My thoughts just wandered, that's all."

Wendy and Happy looked at each other seeming to be worried about me, but I put on my best smile trying not to let them worry about me. I then stood up and stretched my limbs.

"Alright then. I think we should try to get some sleep," I said. "We're still a long way from Onibas, so we should try and get as much rest as we can."

"Oh yeah. I forgot about that," groaned Happy. "Man..."

Wendy then let out a tiny yawn. "I agree," she said. "I am getting a bit sleepy."

I then conjured a ball of water in my hand and threw it on the fire putting it out. Then the three of us went inside the cave. Inside, Fried was sitting on the floor waiting for us.

"It would appear that you all have had your fill," he said. "Now it's time for us to go to sleep."

"Well, good night guys," I said as I lied on the ground. "Sleep well."

Fried, Wendy, and Happy all said their good nights as well. I then closed my eyes and breathed in and out slowly getting my breathing rhythm then after a while, I fell fast asleep.

NO POV

The woods were silent after Team Wendy had fallen asleep. The only sounds were the night dwellers that were active in the night. And not just them that was awake either. A couple of other creatures were awake too. These creatures were out for blood and not just any blood either. They didn't want any animal or anything, they wanted one thing in particular and they would what they wanted to appease their leader.

And that thing that they wanted... would be the blood of the traitorous shark...
