Oh wow, I'm churning out chapters today. This is the second one. I got it done faster than expected, so take this as a thank you for being patient with me.
I have a review I would like to respond to.
JaneGriffen: Glad you're enjoying the story so far, and I'm sorry about what's going on. I hope everything comes out alright in the end for you.
Disclaimer: I don't own Fairy Tail, I only own MY OCs
Again, thanks for being patient, and enjoy chapter 2!

And so with the lost huntress in tow, Jura made his way back to Lamia scale. One can only guess where fate will take our young Phoenix from here. What adventures await her, and what friends will she make?
(Jura PoV)
There are legends about phoenix slayers, about how they prefer flying than using any other form of transportation. Seeing the sight before me now, I am more inclined to believe them. As I have yet up until this point seen a worse case of motion sickness than what is before me now. I heard Dragon slayers had it bad, but this takes it to a whole new level.
"And this is why… I like flying…" I feel really sorry for this girl, she reminds me of Fairy Tail's dragon slayer, Natsu, I believe his name was. I'm starting to see similarities between the two of them.
(Unknown PoV)
"Is it okay if we no longer have to take those things anymore? I'd rather not go through something like that again. Please, Mr. Neekis?!" I pleaded.
Mister Neekis smiled kindly at me. "Unfortunately, this is our main form of transportation. We can always try to avoid it as much as possible, but I'm afraid I couldn't make any promises."
No promises?! How unfair! Well… I suppose I actually understand. And… It's nice that he didn't assure something he can't control. I gave him a light smile, it gave me a bubbly feeling in my stomach. "All right, thank you, Mister Neekis."
He gave me a respectful nod. "Of course, miss. Now shall we make way to the guild? I'm sure everyone will be eager to meet you."
"Eager to meet me?!" My voice came out more excited than I had anticipated.
Mister Neekis gave a hearty chuckle. "Of course they'll be pleased to have a new face!"
The feeling in my stomach… I probably don't remember what it's called, but it's warm and fuzzy, and I'd like to keep it forever, if I could. However… It also slightly resembled motion sickness. Hm. Maybe I don't want to keep it. Nervous? Is that the feeling?
(Lyon PoV)
Jura returned not too long ago, and brought with him a rather pretty looking bluenette with him. She looked the be the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. Running over to her, I lifted her off her feet. Hearing a surprised squeal in the process. Her eyes were something to be reckoned with. They captivated me the moment I looked in them.
"Well, hello there, miss!" I said with a grin. "What brings you to a place like this?"
Her blushing face was adorable. "M-mister Neekis brought me here."
I chuckled. "Old Jura? Well, isn't that nice. Where'd you come from?"
Her expression darkened. "I… Don't know. I'm sorry."
"What do you mean, miss?" I quirked an eyebrow. I tried brightening up her mood with a smile. "Come on now, everyone comes from somewhere, so how about you?" She stayed silent. "Oh, come on, miss, you're making me feel awkward now!"
"Lyon," Jura interjected before I could continue. "Leave her be." His voice lowered. "She has no memories of anything before now."
My eyes widened and I gently set her down. "Is that so..?"
Jura nodded. "I'm afraid so."
The blunette girl looked at me sadly. "I'm sorry."
I laughed. "Why the heck are you apologizing?"
"Well… B-because you…" she stuttered. "You looked-"
I made a pose. "Handsome?" I offered. "Dashing? Breathtaking?"
Then she did something unexpected. She laughed. As if she wasn't already sure enough! "None of those things!" she chuckled. "I was going to say… Pitying, maybe?"
I faked a gasp. "Me? Never! I would never underestimate such a lady as yourself."
She looked flattered. Good. "Why, thank you."
Jura let out a heavy sigh. "Lyon…"
I shrugged. "What can I say? I'm charming." At this point, the girl started blushing a shade of pink that put Sherry's hair to shame.
(unknown PoV)
All of these people arguing over me, it's kind of funny in a way. Like I actually have a reason to live. These people were exactly like Mister Neekis described. Actually, now that I look at him, the one with the spiky white hair looks rather cute. Not like I'm going to mention that to him anytime soon.
"I believe it's safe to assume that you can't remember your name as well?" Mister Neekis asked.
I nodded. "Yes, that's correct."
"Oh, you poor girl." Lyon reached for my hand, but I successfully dodged to the side.
"It's nothing, really," I sighed. "I'll remember eventually. And… Even if I don't, Mister Neekis said I'd make many more good memories here." I flashed them a smile. Did I do something wrong? Everyone was staring at me.
Lyon's face erupted into a fiery blush. "Oh my Lord, so cute!"
Almost the entire guild followed his lead and started gushing over me. Gosh, this is so embarrassing… I shifted around awkwardly.
"You're all making her uncomfortable. Please, keep a friendly distance," Mister Neekis' strong, clear voice rang out. Thank the Heavens for him, I might've died otherwise.
I smiled at him. "Thank you, Mister Neekis."
"Now if everyone will calm down, I believe it would be in our best interest to allow her into our guild, as well as giving her a name." He then turned towards me "As long as that is acceptable to you, young one."
(Lyon PoV)
Like the rest of the guild, I was trying to come up with a name for our new member. Despite everything I could think of, one name kept sticking out to me: "Cyanne". Don't ask me why, it just did.
"I have a recommendation, if our lovely new friend would like to hear it." She nodded her head approvingly, "How about 'Cyanne'?"
Her eyes widened in a cute fashion. "Cyanne…?" The syllables feel from her lips like magic. A grin played at her lips. "Cyanne… Cyanne. My name's Cyanne!" She gave a giddy hop into the air, making a chuckle leave my lips.
"You like it, I'm guessing?" I questioned.
She ran forward and gripped my hands. "I love it!" she laughed.
Oh, crap… Now I'm blushing.
(Cyanne PoV)
After a round of introductions. A girl with pink hair, I believe her name was Sherry, volunteered to show me to my room. It didn't look like much, but it was far more than what I had while I lived alone.
I turned to her. "Thank you," I said with a content smile.
She shook her head with a laugh. "Nah, it's all good. If Jura brought ya here, you're welcome as anyone else!" She then left leaving me to myself. The color of the walls was a light blue, almost like the sky.
Lyon came into my room about a few minutes after Sherry left, asking me if I wanted to go on a job with him. It was a simple job. Apparently, the client had lost some items precious to him, and wanted us to go find them and bring them back to him.
(no PoV)
The job started out fine, Lyon and Cyanne had just finished their briefing with the client and were on their way to go grab the clients missing items. They were a bunch of rare gems that apparently were passed down from generation to generation of the client's family. But were stolen by a group of bandits sometime earlier.
"I've got the scent of the gems, so I have an idea of where we need to go, Lyon. Is it okay if I fly the two of us? I really don't like taking transportation." Cyanne said. The mere mention of transportation caused her to shiver a bit in fear. Thankfully, Lyon was there to calm her down.
"Of course, I don't mind. I would do anything to help a pretty lady such as yourself." Cyanne blushed a little at that comment, but quickly shrugged it off as the two of them tried to get back on the mission at hand.
(Bandit Camp, Cyanne PoV)
When we arrived at the camp was supposed to be, Lyon and I only saw ruins. Almost as if someone else had arrived here before us and destroyed everything, and killed everyone here. This was wrong, the looks on the faces shows signs of absolute torture. Pain like no one should experience.
"What happened here?" I asked Lyon hoping he would have some sort of explanation for me.
"Whatever happened, it doesn't look natural"
(no PoV)
With the discovery of the bandit camp, many questions are left unanswered. Mainly what happened, and who did it? What mysteries lie in store for our young phoenix? Will she find the answers that she's looking for?
So, what did you all think? I'm working out ideas for this story that I think are rather interesting. If they go through, you'll find out when they happen (don't want to spoil anything.
Feel free to leave a review and I'll see you all in the next chapter!
