Glad that my being sick has equalled to getting some chapters for this fic done. Chapter 13 unlucky for some.
Sting and Rouge talked to dozens of people in the town, too soon it had been three hours and after buying some food they head back to the camels, Jellal and Lyon are there on time.
"Did you find anything?" Rouge asks.
"Nothing, it doesn't look like Fairy Tail stopped here" Jellal says.
"You?" Lyon asks.
"Same" Sting admits eating some grapes.
"I beg to differ" Zeref suddenly says, appearing with Cobra and Zancrow.
"You found something?" Jellal asks.
"Yes, weeks ago one member of Fairy Tail went to a nearby tavern and asked if they had any mead from HoneyComb arrive, they bought three cases and left, apparently according to another man he was an owner of a bar in the town just outside the palace"
"They were that close?" Lyon asks surprised.
"It appears so" Zeref says.
"Should we head back to check it out?" Sting asks.
"The bar would most likely have been evacuated once they kidnapped the princess, however we must explore every clue…we're going back" Jellal decides.
"How did you gather this information?" Lyon inquires, Zeref lightly shrugs as to not disturb Acnologia on his shoulder.
"We just asked the right people, the right questions" Zeref says, getting his own camel.
"Lucky, I guess" Lyon says eyes narrowing.
"Lucky indeed" Zeref says heading out after Jellal.
The ride back was fast since they weren't tracking anything, it took a few questions to a few people but they found the bar at the edge of town, Zancrow busted open the door, it was empty, Sting opened the windows to they could see they spent half an hour going through everything.
"They didn't leave much" Rouge says kicking an overturned chair.
"I didn't think they would" Jellal says coming up empty.
"To obtain such a business though, they would have needed a licence, perhaps town hall will hold a clue" Lyon suggests.
"Let's go" Sting agrees.
The clerk was helpful once he knew who they were.
"Here this is all I have on the property" he says handing over, Jellal takes it and begins reading quickly.
"It was purchased a year and a half ago by…a Natsu Dragneel co-payed by a Makarov Dreyar"
"I haven't heard of them" Lyon says shaking his head.
"Anything else?" Sting asks impatiently, Jellal squints as he reads turning more parchment over.
"Yes they had to produce an employment roster Mirajane Strauss and Kinana no last name worked as barmaids and waitresses as soon as it begun, there is no record they were fired or they quit"
"So they work for Fairy Tail" Rouge surmises.
"Most likely, while I've never heard of the others, Mirajane Strauss sounds familiar" Zeref says.
"She should, she was a fighter in that melee a few years ago in the Ivory City arena, we went to it" Sting says.
"That's right, she fought alongside Erza Scarlet" Rouge remembers.
"She also had a brother in the fight and a sister but she didn't fight" Sting recalls.
"What were their names?" Jellal asks.
"Um…the boy's name was strange" Sting says hitting his head to remember.
"Elfman, my lord" Zancrow says.
"Yes that's it!" Sting says.
"Lisanna was the younger sister" Rouge remembers.
"Well that's a lot more than we started with" Jellal says impressed handing the folder back to the clerk.
"Natsu Dragneel, Makarov Dreyar, Erza Scarlet, Mirajane Strauss, Elfman Strauss, Lisanna Strauss and Kinana, these may only be a few of the members of Fairy Tail but it's a start" Jellal accepts.
"You said you had met some of them before, did you catch their names?" Cobra suddenly asks.
"No, however one of them had scarlet red hair, would that have been Erza?"
"Yes" Rouge nods.
"Then I met her, a tall blond man with a scar over his eye, a black haired man with piercings and a young looking girl with long thick blonde hair down to her feet with no shoes"
"We'll discover who they are along with the rest of them when we destroy them and take the Princess" Zeref says.
"Where do we head now?" Sting asks Jellal.
"The next town on our path, now we have names to inquire along with their symbol, the liars will have a much harder time keeping quiet.
"Then let's go" Rouge says heading out with Sting, the others follow to the camels.
