Chapter 7

"Laxus I feel like... something's off here." Wendy tried to convince Laxus that they shouldn't travel during night, but he insisted that they would be okay.

"Didn't I already tell ya' Kid? We're dragon slayers we can protect ourselves. Now stop whining." Laxus said. They continued through the forest, keeping eyes peeled and ears open for anything that could indicate Lucy was near. They heard leaves crunching under massive weight 10 yards away from where the three stood. Laxus took a step forward, getting into his fighting stance as he called out "Who's there?" His voice demanding and firm. Wendy stood behind Laxus with Carla in her arms. She prepared herself to get into battle if needed, but knowing Laxus the chance of her having to assist him was low.

The unknown beast started to walk towards the trio, coming into their vision from the shadows. It looked like a cross between a lizard and a bird. This lizard-bird thing stood on all fours with the height of 4ft, and length of about 7ft. It had the shape of a lizard except it had feathers on it's back and side going all the way to the end of the tail. The colors of the feathers were a dark grey that faded to an admiral blue. The scales on it's claws and feet were a charcoal grey.

Wendy was shocked at the site of it. She had never seen anything like it before! The beast hissed at the trio and moved its tail in circular motions.

"Laxus...I think we should back up and go around. It seems hostile." Wendy said as she observed the lizard-bird trying to remember every detail.

Laxus looked back at Carla as she began speaking. "I agree, I won't have Wendy getting hurt in this forest. Not while we're looking for Lucy." Laxus sighed and reluctantly agreed. They backed up a couple feet and turned left to go around.

A Few Minutes Later

"I wonder if we're gonna see more animals like that one?" Wendy said to Carla.

"I certainly hope not, no matter how interesting it looked it could also be very dangerous."

"I really wanted to fight it though. It seemed fun." Laxus said with a grin.

Wendy spoke once again."Well, Laxus? Are we gonna make camp now?" He nodded.


And that's it!

That's literally all I had for this story, I still haven't read a single word of it despite these lil notes I left on each chapter, I'm kinda nervous to see what I wrote honestly, cause like it's like 7 years old, but I don't think i'm embarrassed about posting this like I would've been when I first started this lil thing. I actually have a lot of love for this story, sure I don't really know what it is anymore but I still love it

If you're reading this in the void, I hope it brought you some amusement? Or something

I hope you have a wonderful day!

Goodbye void!
