Chapter 6
[Fairytail]
"Hah..." Lucy sighed, drawing attention from a certain blue haired librarian.
"What's wrong, Lu-chan? You look tired, have something going on?" Levy asked as she put off her glasses.
"Yesterday when I visited the Celestial World something strange and more likely bad happened."
"Strange?"
"Yeah," Lucy dropped her head on the bar table, "Loki said something like there's a Celestial Wizards who can tame the Sacred White Snake, Hydrus, but he rarely show his face to the Celestial world."
"Huh? What strange about that? Maybe he just doesn't like going there."
"Even if he doesn't feel like it, there's time when you've to go there no matter what to at least greet the King," she said, "But it's look like this guy didn't even go there once, when Celestial King forced him to go there, I hear the man just shrug him off and left on his own will! Not just that, it's look like he made a barrier to his own celestial spirit just to make sure the King can't force him again! It just strange no matter you look at it!"
"Sorry, Lu-chan, but I still don't understand what is strange about that."
"Well, Celestial Wizards only can be invited and leave from Celestial world when the King allow it cause there's a barrier that he built to prevent those who evil, if this man can do that on his own then go there whenever he want is a piece of cake! He must one of a hell magician!" Lucy yelled.
"So you mean, this guy could do whatever he wants to Celestial World without the King's approval? That's scary! We're lucky if he's a good guy, but what if he? Is that means that world gone berserk?"
"Yeah, that's the possibility, but I think he's a good guy."
"Huh? How can you be so sure?"
"Um, until now he's not doing anything to them, so maybe he just made a barrier to remind the king that he doesn't want to go there, except at his own will."
"Hmm, is that so? Then there's no problem." Levy said, relieved.
"But..."
"Ah? There's still more?"
"Loki and the others said the man aura feels familiar and especially warm, I wonder who he is..."
[Niurre Guild]
Natsu and Wendy hurriedly stepped down to the first floor, they were overslept and forget that they've meeting with the Mayor today.
"Ah! I blame this to Yajima-san for giving me such a hard task even if he already retired!" Natsu yelled in hurry.
"Hurry up, Nat—I mean Nirvanna-san! There's not much time left!" Wendy reminded.
The guild members just bowed at them cause this kind of commotion almost every time their Master had meeting.
"Good morning, Master Nirvanna!" the members greeted.
"Y-Yes, good morning to you too!" Natsu said with a nervous smile as he put on his jacket, "Brendan, you in charge!" and he run towards the door in a flash.
"Ah, Emi-chan you're the second hand!" Wendy shouted before running after Natsu.
...
Happy stared at Brendan with WTF look, "Why is it always you who he gives the responsibility? That's no fair Nirvanna-sama! Choose me too! I'm the strongest in the group!"
"Yes, but the idiot one." Charla snorted at him.
"Meanie!" he mewled.
"Well, maybe I can talk to Nirvanna-san to choose you next time," Brendan smiled, "Anyway, who's up for S-class request?"
"S-class!? Wait, but Master said we can't go to S-class request if we're not an S-class mage! He will get mad!" Ama yelled.
Emiko nodded in agreement, "That's right, maybe we should stop."
"Aw, no one in?" Cheeno said, "And I think it'll be adventure."
Azerath shivered, "I rather not go than get slaughtered by Nirvanna-san."
Brendan frozen in place, "Now you mention it, Frost-san, you already taste Nirvanna-san's wrath?"
"Y-Yeah, my hips hurt a lot, I don't want to remember it."
Kokonoe and Natsu started the meeting, when Wendy waiting outside the door.
"And so, I want to take a few weeks off after I finish my task, a month should be enough." Natsu said to Kokonoe with a smile.
The women replied, "Very well, Nirvanna-san, I will make sure the town people know so they'll activate the barrier."
"Yeah, please do, there's always some idiots who trying to take us down when I'm not here."
"Oh, where are you actually going to, Nirvanna-san? Dai Matou Enbu still four months away."
"Well, there's something I need to find out myself, but it's a secret! Can't have this kind of information leak out!"
Kokonoe smirked, "Oh~ as expected of Nirvanna-san, so secretive."
"Are~? You're not worry about me, Koko-chan? You lack of expression..."
"Of course, if it's Nirvanna-sama then it'll be fine, you can take care of yourself very well."
Natsu laughed, "That may be right, anyway, how many mission we got for this five months?"
"Because Nirvanna-san want to take a break, so I'll just give you half of—"
"No, make it all, I'll finish it," he cut her, "I just don't like leaving work behind, if not I can't take my break in peace."
"Ah yeah, there's 105 missions for the next five months, the difficult rank is from A to S, which one do you want to take first?"
"Give me the entire S-Class mission, I'll leave the rest to my guild."
"As you wish, Nirvanna-san." Kokonoe said as she gave him the flyer, "It's due next year so don't strain yourself too much."
"Okay, see you Koko-chan..." Natsu waved at her.
"Yes."
Wendy smiled when Natsu stepped out from the meeting hall, "How was the meeting, Nirvanna-san?"
"Same as usual, though we got more missions for this week," Natsu replied, "Angel, take this with you and give the group one mission for each person, it's due next year so they don't have to finish it within this month, I've another mission for them already."
"Yes, Nirvanna-san, then excuse me." in a flash the girl disappeared into a thin air.
Natsu stared at the missions in his hand, "This suck, I have the feeling I'll encounter one of the fairies today."

Wendy slowly walked towards the guild with a smile on her face, she's happy when a mission come, she's happy because there's people who still relied on her and her friends.
"I'm back," she greeted.
"Ah! Welcome home, Angel-san!" the members yelled in happiness.
"Welcome home, Angel-chan." Cheeno said, smiled at her.
"Did Nirvanna-san have mission for us?" Azerath asked.
"Ah yes, take one that suits you, one for each person." Wendy replied, "But, it's due next year so you don't have to do it now, Nirvanna-san said he already decided the mission for this week."
The group took the flyer and started to read it one by one, a loud thud from the back startled everyone.
"Cheeno-chan?"
"Why... Why did I always get the 'make-rain' mission?" she said gloomy, "This... is unfair..."
"My condolence—Aw!" Happy said before Charla hit him.
"And? What mission did you get?" Charla asked him.
"Oh, nothing big, it just say to bring back a block of Hakuren Ice," he replied, "Ah, I was in that mountain for a week but I didn't go to the cave where that ice is."
"Why?"
"Dattteeee... there's a rumor if you go in before remember the map you'll got lost and I too lazy to remember the way."
"Hmm..."
"What about you?"
"This is piece of cake, why is there someone one me to bring the King strawberry..." Charla furrowed her eyebrow, "What?"
"Sounds peachy," Happy retorted.
"That goes for you too."

A low growl came from the four-arms monsters, their big red eye searching for their prey who disappeared from time to time, from place to another. Someone appear behind the monsters, so fast that they doesn't notice until later.
''I, as master of the 14th celestial spirit, I order you to appear in your glory form as the contract, open the gate of Water God, Hydrus.'' the wizard said softly, the key glowing so brightly as a large gold magic circle appear around it.
The golden key slowly disappeared into dust, before turned into a half-human and half-snake woman, and a pair of white bat wings on her hips. Her white hair flowing in the air, a piercing blue eyes glowing in the night, she let out a loud hiss as she slowly wrapped her tail around her master to protect from any damage.
''You don't have to protect me, Hydrus,'' Natsu said, ''Go on.''
With a swift move the snake-woman loosen her tail and nodded, ''I am Hydrus, the Water God, as my master order I'll eliminate you all!''
She lunged towards the monsters, her hair transform into a blade as she slice the monsters in half. Those monsters growled loudly before fell to the ground.
''Is this all?'' Natsu asked, slowly approaching the spirit.
''Unfortunately no, master,'' she replied, ''There's five more of them, deeper to the forest.''
''Let's go then, I miss my pillow already.'' Natsu halted, his body went stiff then looking around the forest.
''Master Nirvanna?''
''I feel another presence, is there someone around here?''
Hydrus piercing her eyes, using her 'X-ray' like eyes and searching around, ''Oh, my apologies, master, I confirm that there's someone in this forest, surround by those monster and her aura is shaking, most likely she's afraid.''
''For Pete's sake, what kind of girl walking around in forest in the middle of the night? Ah, whatever, let's just save her and go home.''
A teenage girl with wavy blonde hair stared at the creature in front of her with teary eyes, her dress was ripped here and there. In her hands, a long and wide thing that wrapped with bandages were gripped tightly.
''Gggrrraaahhh!'' the monster howled, it's claw ready to rip anything in its way.
''Hhh!'' the girl closed her eyes tightly, waiting for the coming pain. But nothing came.
She slowly opened her eyes and widened instantly as she saw a person who she believe as her savior, easily grip the claw with bare hand.
''You alright, miss?'' he asked with a smile.
A pair of hand suddenly touching her shoulders, make the girl flinched and turned around, just to see a half-human and half-snake woman smiled at her.
''Don't worry, lady, my master will save you.'' she said softly.
Before she knew what happened, all of the monsters already defeated by the man.
''Hydrus, you can go back now.'' he ordered as the spirit disappeared.
''T-Thank you, mister!''
''Nah, no worries, by the way,'' Natsu leaning towards the girl as her face went red in replied, ''What are you doing in a forest? In the middle of the night at that?''
''E-etto... I-I'm planning to go to a guild called Fairytail but I got lost and those monsters suddenly trap me here...''
Natsu flinched slightly, ''You want... to go to Fairytail? Why?''
''I want to see my sister, I've heard that she joined them few years ago.''
'Sister? As long as I remember, there's no Fairytail member who have a sister...' he thought.
''Do you need a lift? I'm going there this week, if you want I can take you there.''
''I-Is that okay?''
''Yeah, no prob.'' he answered, ''But I'm going there with my companions, so it'll be crowd.''
''No, that's alright! Thank you very much!''
''Oh... Anyway, you better wear this'' Natsu smiled faintly as he handed his Wizard Saint's mantel, ''You'll catch a cold like that.''
The girl blushed and hurriedly covering her body with he mantel.
''Ah, I haven't asked your name yet, I'm Nirvanna.''
''Nice too meet you, Nirvanna-san, my name is Michelle.''
