Three days have passed and the elven girl still has yet to wake up. Bickslow would stay by her side every night leaving the day watch to Laxus and Wendy. They were now in the middle of the fourth day. Laxus was sitting in a chair by the girl's bed with a mug of ale in hand and his sound pod on. The volume turned down low in case the woman to his right woke up. His eyes were closed as Wendy restocked the supply pantry.
MiraJane had just stopped in with a tray of food in hand. With a smile, the takeover mage handed the two dragon slayers their plates of food only to hear a soft moan as they began to eat. All three mages looked towards the woman resting in the infirmary bed and saw that she was waking up. Mira quickly ran out of the infirmary to inform the master while Laxus and Wendy watched over the woman still eating. They didn't want to frighten the woman as she looked around her new surroundings. She slowly sat up causing her teal hair to fall over her shoulder as her silver eyes scanned the room. They were guarded and on edge as they landed on the two dragon slayers. Her body tensed getting ready to fight if needed.
"Where am I? Who are you?" the elf asked as she all but glared at the mages before her. Laxus placed his plate down on the table beside the bed as Wendy watched with caution and concern in her chocolate brown hues. The large male locked eyes with the woman. His posture relaxed posing no threat as his deep voice filled the room.
"You're in the infirmary at the Fairy Tail guild… I'm Laxus Dreyar and the kid is Wendy Marvell. You were being chased by a dark guild and almost got captured if my team and I hadn't intervened… Wendy is the one who healed your wounded shoulder," He explained as the door to the infirmary busted open revealing the Raijinshu, Mira and the master of Fairy Tail. The young woman jumped at the sudden noise nearly falling out of the bed in the process. The blonde man glared at the group who just arrived for startling the elf. The new arrivals walked over to the girl. The smallest of the group jumping up and sitting at the end of the bed looking at the elf as if to size her up making the woman very uncomfortable. She never broke eye contact with the small elderly man before her.
"Welcome to Fairy Tail, I'm the master of this guild. The name is Makarov Dreyar. I see you've already met my grandson and our healer. I do hope he's treated your with the utmost respect," the man said with a smile shocking the girl into silence. Laxus however just glared at his grandfather mumbling to himself as he sat back in his chair and crossed his arms.
"If you don't mind my asking, what's your name?" a small timid voice rang out knocking the woman out of her shock. Everyone had looked at the blue haired child as she hugged a white feline close to her chest. The woman looked at the group before with calculating eyes before giving in and bowing her head slightly.
"My name is Kelekona Autumnfire. As I'm sure you have figured out by now, I am a night elf. I would like to thank you for your kindness in bringing me to your home and mending my wound," Kelekona said giving the small girl a smile before letting it drop as she looked around only to have her eyes stop on Bickslow and tilting her head in confusion at his attire.
"Why was that dark guild after you? Surely you don't have something they wanted do you?" a snobbish female voice sounded. It took Kelekona a minute to realize it was the brown haired woman standing beside the tall knight with another male on his other side. The three were standing behind Laxus's chair while wooden tiki dolls floated above them. Kelekona looked down at her hands as she remembered the reason why she had been hurt in the East Forest.
"They wanted the ability of immortality… What they didn't realize is that we elves don't have such a gift. We just age very slowly which results in us living for thousands of years…. They murdered everyone in my village just to obtain it," Kelekona answered biting her lip to keep from sobbing as tears started to pour down her face. "Because of them I lost my little sister…"
"What about that feline form you took on in the forest? Is that part of your magic?" asked the green haired male with a polite tone. She sniffled and wiped the tears from her eyes.
"In a way yes.. I am what is known to my people as a druid. I have the ability to take on six animal forms. Three for fighting; the bear, moonstalker or what you would consider to be a sabretooth, and a moonkin which is a giant bird that provides support from a distance. The other three are for travel; the stag for land, walrus for sea, and eagle for air. Among those forms I am able to perform healing magic along with lunar magic," she explained as she saw the man seem to absorb the new found knowledge. She had a feeling she'd be getting more questions from him in the future.
"That's some interesting magic, and seeing as how you have no place to go why don't you join our guild? You'll be gaining a very big family and a home to come back to should you decide to travel," the master said. Kelekona thought about his offer. He was right in that she had no home, and she did owe them her life. What could go wrong by joining a wizarding guild? She turned her silver gaze towards the master and with a confident smile she accepted his offer.
