Chapter 3: A Helpful Explanation

Levy was rather terrified. Although she had managed to push that down, somewhat. She had to find a way out of here and that was more important to focus on than fear. She tried squeezing herself through the bars but unfortunately they were just a hair to close together to make it. Then she examined her surroundings. In her prison were chains attached to the walls that showed signs of rust. Aside from that is was just dirt and rocks. Outside wasn't much of a view either, there was just one large oak table of the middle of a large cavern. There were four chairs tucked in and the desk had a couple stacks of papers.

She let out a sigh. There was no getting out of here because she had zero idea of where she was. The man who had kidnapped her had some weird mystical powers and somehow teleported her here. She could be anywhere in the world. How did she get in this mess? How crazy to think she was dying for adventure just this morning and now she had it and there was even magic involved. She smiled to herself, she supposed maybe she found her silver lining in all of this.

Then she heard the echo from deep with one of the tunnels connecting to the cavern. People were coming.

She scrambled to get up and wipe the dirt off herself, she was adamant to make it look like she was unaffected by her dire situation. She was going to look strong. Levy balled up her fists and walked to the bars looking at the tunnel that produced the noise. Eventually two people came out, one was her kidnapper and the other was an old, short man. What was a man like that doing here? she thought to herself.

He looked her way and they made eye contact. He seemed like someone to be trusted Levy thought, he seemed harmless especially compared to the giant beside him. The two standing next to each other didn't seem to mesh and she was lost in that thought until the old man headed her way, with the bigger man grudgingly following behind him. Then she felt anxiety sink in, what if he was going to issue a death sentence or something?

"I've been told your name is Levy, hello my name is Markarov" he said cheerly.

She was to surprised to speak, not expecting such a nice greeting "Um hello, hi uh well ... why am I here?"

Markarov chuckled "ah, straight to the point I see, well my child I need your help"

Now this was really starting to sound like a story she could read in a book "My... help"

"Yes, you see there is this book, an ancient one. No one can understand it and many people have tried. This book contains unimaginable secrets. We need it because," he pointed towards the gruff man behind him "Gajeel needs it. This book will help him and so far we have discovered the key and that key is you."

"Me, the key?" the thought was so strange. Not only was she in an adventure but she was the main character. Also it was good to know the man's name was Gajeel.

"Yes, only you can translate the words on the book. You will give us the power the book contains, if you are willing we would grateful. If not I don't mean to threaten you but there are other men and organizations that will be after you for the same reason. So what do you say?"

Well it did not take her to long to answer "Sure, I'll help"

The old man gave a wide grin and with that whispered something in Gajeel's ear and then Gajeel walked forward. "I'm sorry for taking you here the way I did" the words sounded forced but she could see the flicker in his eyes of real regret.

"Well, I just want out of this cage"

Makarov laughed again "I like this girl, this will be quite an exciting adventure"

Adventure, yes, at last thats what she had. Now that she was here and given an answer about everything she felt relief wash over her. With quite a helpful explanation she was able to gauge that her life as a normal high school student was over and the only thing she was was excited.

Thanks for reading, I am excited to see where this goes
