A/N: And here we are again everybody! I have for you today, Chapter 3!

Sorry about the wait, when I originally went to write this chapter I had such a hard time getting it started and when I eventually got something written down I hated it, so I scrapped it and started the chapter over after reworking some things. And then I got my hand hurt pretty badly so I couldn't type very well without my hand screaming at me to stop (still hurts actually, and a few of my fingers may or may not be broken since it is unusual for them to still be hurting, but there is pretty much nothing that can be done about broken fingers), so I've been typing in little bursts, which has affected how quickly I've gotten this chapter out, and how long it is.

Now then, since someone has asked me about my scheduling of putting up new chapters, I've decided to address that first thing. For the foreseeable future, I plan on putting up one chapter a week, during the week (Monday-Friday), and not on any set day. And of course there may be some weeks where I decide to post 2 chapters, or even none at all if I wind up being to busy to work on the story. Also I refuse to write if I'm sick since I'm never able to focus when I don't feel good and anything that I write when sick is bound to be terrible. Also, I refuse to write on the weekends since those are the days that I've decided to devote to things that I want to do without worry of what the next chapter is going to be like since I'll be focusing more time during the week to planning out and writing the story. I hope that answers any questions about my writing schedule for the time being.

Now then, I'd like to thank Saiyan-Styles, Falling Lanterns, WrittenWhim, WaterDragonMaverick, Taliaem, lexlovesya, MyDearWatson, PrinceOfTheMatrix88, Asher Grey, LightandDarkHeart, potentialauthor18, UnderTheDeepBlue, Hikari, and Hawk725 for their reviews.

Saiyan-Styles- I'm glad that you enjoyed the chapter and I hope that you enjoy this one as well!

Falling Lanterns- I'm glad that you liked the chapter! Yeah, I really liked writing Jean since he's such a strange character and we'll eventually go more into more detail of his and Sean's past. Yup, a mission for Team Camille, although we won't get to see it for a while since they won't arrive in Acalypha Town for a while since it's more than a days trip, which gives me plenty of time to introduce everyone. Hope you enjoy the chapter and how I introduced Roseala, Kimmy, and Jericho!

WrittenWhim- I'm glad that you enjoyed Jean, it seems that a lot of people have enjoyed his character so far. Now regarding the rest of the review, this is my first story so it's to be expected that I don't quite get something down just right, but I am trying to improve and I'll try my hardest to do better with introducing all of the characters, and I know that it'll be hard to get around to going into detail with all of the characters, but I feel that I'm up to challenge and if I need help, I've got some people to rely on for that help. Anyways, I ask that you please have patience with me as I write since I'm still trying to figure out all the different characters, as well as trying to figure out exactly where I want to take the story after a certain point. Now then, I hope you enjoy the chapter!

WaterDragonMaverick- I'm glad that you liked the introduction for your characters! And it's going to be a little while until we see some actual combat in the story since I want to introduce everybody first, but I'm excited for when I do get to that point and I hope that I can pull it off. Anyways, I hope that you enjoy this chapter!

Taliaem- I'm glad that you've enjoyed the story so far, and I've got to say that one of the biggest perks to writing an OC guild story is seeing all of the different ideas that others come up with (which, I won't lie, is part of the reason why I chose to write an OC guild story). Anyways, I hope you enjoy the chapter!

lexlovesya- I'm glad that you like all of the characters introduced so far and I hope you enjoy this chapter and how I introduced Ziv and Zain!

MyDearWatson- I'm glad that you enjoyed the chapter and the introduction of your characters! Like I said, I originally went through a few different ideas before settling on using that one to introduce them, so I'm glad that it worked out! You know, I never realized the two being similar to Gray and Natsu until you mentioned it, but if they do turn out like that it would be like Gray and Natsu swapped personalities since Jace is more like Natsu than Fareth is even though he's a Fire Dragon Slayer. I'm glad that you liked the three of them together, Jean is (from what I've gathered from his profile) a character that never learns when it comes to women, so it's certainly a possibility that he'll wind up furless one day. Anyways, I hope that you enjoy the chapter!

PrinceOfTheMatrix88- Glad that you enjoyed the chapter and I hope that you enjoy this one too! And we'll eventually see what's up between Rayner and Ajax.

Asher Grey- I'm glad that you enjoyed the chapter, and yeah, like I said earlier, one of the biggest perks about writing an OC guild story has got to be seeing all of the other people's ideas and characters. Hope you enjoy this chapter as well!

LightandDarkHeart- I'm glad that you like Reno and Jean, and if you didn't gather it from last chapter, that was actually a jar of rum that Reno broke in the last chapter, thus my one good use of that quote that I'll never be able to use again, ah well, it paid off it seems. Anyways, I hope you enjoy the chapter!

potentialauthor18- Yup, and the length of time required to write the chapters has only grown since the prologue, I think that took me 3 hours and chapter 1 took me 6, although this one took a little less than 8 hours. But anyways, lame puns are perfectly acceptable here in the A/N's and in the reviews, they just become unBEARable if I use them too often in the story unless they're part of a character's personality. Anyways, I hope you enjoy the chapter!

UnderTheDeepBlue- I hope that paragraph at the beginning of the A/N answers your questions about my writing schedule, and if you're wondering why I decided to not write on the weekends there are 2 reasons for that. The first being that sometimes I have to go on the odd road trip over the weekend like the weekend before last, and the second being that I just want a few days where I don't have to think about the story or what I'm going to do since this is incredibly stressful for me (which is why I think that the original draft of this chapter wound up so terrible, I was too stressed to write well so I had to take a few days off to recuperate, and then I got my hand hurt (have you ever tried to type when a few of your fingers may or may not be broken? It really hurts), I have to worry about whether I got the characters down right, what people think about the story so far, whether people can make sense of my writing or not, how to accomplish an idea in the future and many other worries and issues that I have to address or fret over when working on the story, so I just wanted a few days in my schedule where I wouldn't have to worry about all of that and to just recuperate and relax. Now if my schedule changes (and I know that it'll change this fall for sure, but I'll talk about that when it's closer) I'll be sure to try and let everyone know for sure since I have declared a set, yet loose schedule that I will be working under. Now then, please have patience and thank you for understanding. I hope you enjoy the chapter!

Hikari- I'm glad that you enjoyed the chapter so much, and don't worry about the SAO reference, it's a pretty good anime. And it's fine if you're not able to read a chapter right away, I understand if you have things that keep you from doing so right away. Also, if by Yama you mean Light Hikari (since that was the name of the OC you submitted), you'll just have to wait and see. Now before I forget, you mentioned a Yumi/Yami in the profile that you submitted in your first review, if you want her to appear in the story, you'll eventually have to let me know whether you want me to make the profile so that the details in it remain a secret, or if you're okay with making it yourself and submitting like you have, leaving all the details where people can see them. Or you could make a profile and submit it via PM, also you never stated where Light's Undine's Cove guild mark is and what color it is. Whatever you want to do is up to you. And what am I going to do about you posting multiple reviews for one chapter? Absolutely nothing. Now then, I hope you enjoy the chapter!

Hawk725- Glad that you liked the chapter! Hope you enjoy this one as well!

Hope you enjoy the chapter!

Chapter 3

Jace and Fareth exited the small jungle, the sun beginning to set overhead as they walked towards the guildhall.

"Yo! Salina!" Jace called out as he approached the bar with Rave on his shoulder and Fareth not far behind him, "Back from the regular meeting already? How'd it go?" he asked as he sat down at the bar.

Salina nodded before answering, "The meeting went alright, but it could've gone better," she said with a downcast look, "Twilight Ogre is still refusing to have some lenience with Fairy Tail's debt," Salina looked over at Fareth who had sat down next to Jace and had a perturbed look on his face after hearing the news, "Oh, but don't worry! We'll make sure that Twilight Ogre stops bothering Fairy Tail so much," she said quickly in an attempt to make Fareth feel better.

Jace turned towards Fareth, "That's right... you used to be a member of Fairy Tail weren't you?"

"Yeah, but I'd rather not talk about it," he answered quietly as he watched Rave jump off of Jace's shoulder and onto the bar before noticing that Jace's arm was bleeding, "Hey Jace, your arm is bleeding," Fareth pointed out as he gestured towards the cut in his sleeve.

Jace looked down at his arm, "Oh, you're right," he said before looking back up, "But it's just a small cut, so no big deal."

"Are you sure about that?" a voice from behind him asked.

Jace and Fareth turned around to see the guild's resident healer, a 27 year-old man named Caleb Pherl. He stood at 5'8" with a slim and wiry build and pale skin. He had short spiky red hair and chestnut brown eyes. Caleb was usually always wearing a white dress shirt under a long, sleeveless blue coat that reached down to his ankles and had a pocket on the back of the waist, as well as a pair of black pants that were held up by a brown utility belt that he used to carry his equipment and a pair of straw sandals on his feet. He also wore a pair of rimless glasses and a rope necklace that had a bronze key on it that had several runes inscribed into it. Caleb was a practitioner of Healing and Support Magic and his guild mark was on his right hand in white. As the guild's resident healer, Caleb felt that all of his guild mates well being was his responsibility, and he took that responsibility very, very seriously.

Jace paled as he looked up at Caleb, knowing that he had heard him disregard his small injury, "I-I-I mean that I'll get it looked at right away! I swear!" Jace stuttered out nervously as he recalled all the times that Caleb had hunted him down after missions and training sessions to have his injuries treated.

Caleb sighed as he pulled out some disinfectant and began treating the wound, "By the way Salina," Caleb spoke up as he worked, "Have you seen Rayner around? He's late for his check-up."

"He just left with his team about half an hour ago," Salina answered as she cleaned the mugs left over from Ajax, Reno, and Leon, "I believe they were going on a mission to Acalypha Town."

Caleb's expression quickly changed to one of annoyance after hearing that Rayner left Hargeon to go on a mission without getting his check-up, "He knows how serious his condition is, yet he still insists on behaving so recklessly," he mumbled as he finished bandaging Jace's cut, "You need to talk some sense into him, or have Camille do it, since it's obvious that he won't listen to me."

Salina looked down at the ground with a downtrodden look on her face as she thought about the young man's condition, but then looked up when she heard thunder rumbling in the distance, "Whoops!" she laughed nervously as she looked at Jace and Fareth, "Please don't discuss what you overheard here today, for the sake of Rayner's privacy," she asked the two young men with a polite smile.

"Sure," Jace answered with a curious look, "But what's wrong with Rayner?"

"That's for him to say," Salina responded quietly as she went back to cleaning the mugs, avoiding eye contact with the two young Dragon Slayers.

. : + : .

Hughes Franklin looked up at the sky from his position on the bench as he noticed it begin to be cloaked in clouds unusually fast, "Must be Salina," he said under his breath as he heard thunder crack.

Hughes was a 19 year-old Acid Mage that stood at about 5'8" with a fit build. He had yellow eyes and black hair that was dyed green at the tips. He was usually always seen wearing a green shirt with a hood on it, with black track pants and white shoes. His guild mark was green and on his left shoulder.

Hughes pulled up his hood as it started to rain, knowing that it wouldn't stop until Salina's mood brightened. He had decided to visit Hargeon's park that day with his teammates, but it was obvious that they would need to go elsewhere for the rest of the day. "Hey! Ziv! Zain!" he called out as he stood up and looked around for the siblings.

"Hughes! Over here!" he heard one of teammates call out as he began walking towards where he heard his teammate call, to find the two of them standing under a tree near the fountain in the middle of the park.

He looked over at the person who called out to him, a 15 year-old named Zain McSolas who stood at 5'4" with a strong build for someone of his age and stature and tan, freckled skin. He had short, messy, spiky hair that was a fiery red and stone gray eyes. Zain was wearing a white t-shirt with khaki shorts and black sneakers at the moment, and he always had a silver necklace that had a sword-shaped pendant on it that could be transformed into a sword for him to use in combat. Zain was a Moon God Slayer and he had moon-shaped tattoos on his hands that allowed him absorb moonlight, and his guild mark was a dark red and was located on his left shoulder. Zain wore a bright smile on his face as he continued to call out to his teammate.

Next to Zain was his older sister, Ziv McSolas, who was 17 years old and only stood at 5'2" with an hourglass figure and porcelain skin. She had long, wavy black hair, but it was usually kept in a braid, and large gold colored eyes with long eyelashes that always seemed to hold a hint of sadness in them. Ziv was wearing her usual white tank top that ended just bellow her belly button with a pair of jean cutoffs that reached down to her knees and golden sandals, and around her neck was a necklace that had a gold heart-shaped pendant on it that had a picture of her family in it. Like Zain, Ziv was also a God Slayer, but she was a Sun God Slayer and she had sun-shaped tattoos on her hands that helped her to absorb sunlight, and her guild mark was on the right side of her neck in light blue. Ziv also had a scar on her left thigh that she tended to keep covered up.

Hughes noted to himself that Ziv looked at bit agitated before walking over to them, "There you two are," he said with a smile to match Zain's, "We should probably find somewhere else to hangout for the rest of the day."

"Why don't we go get something to eat then?" Zain suggested as he walked up to Hughes, "Sis has been kinda grouchy ever since it started raining," he whispered in Hughes's ear with a smirk.

"Zain! Why'd you have to tell him that?" Ziv complained as she walked out from under the tree with a small blush on her face.

Hughes smiled to himself as he watched the siblings bicker before speaking up, "How 'bout we head over to 8-Island then, we can get something to eat," he said looking at Zain, "And get out of this rain," he said turning towards Ziv. He watched them both give him a nod before they heard another crack of thunder.

"Can we get out of this rain now please?" Ziv asked with an agitated look, before the trio set off towards the restaurant.

. : + : .

Roseala Grimmtear wore a curious look on her face when she realized that some of her guild mates were getting on the train that she had just exited, "I wonder where those three are going?" she asked herself as she watched Camille board the train with her teammates.

Roseala was a young mage at the age of 15 and stood at 5'2" with pale skin and a flat chest. She had long white hair that reached down to the back of her knees and large purple eyes. She was wearing a large purple sweater that was a few sizes too big, with the sleeves falling past her hands, a blue miniskirt, black stockings, and pair of brown boots. Roseala also wore a blue lachrima orb on a necklace and a blue ribbon headband. Roseala used Fable Magic, which allowed her to summon characters from a book of various fables and fairy tales that she kept in a brown leather book bag that she currently had thrown over her shoulder. And two of her characters were following her at that moment, both of them looking equally out of place in the train station.

The first one was called Kimmy the Mouse, she was a small girl with short gray hair and brown eyes, but her most noticeable features were her gray mouse ears and tiny mouse tail which stuck out of her gray dress.

Standing next to Kimmy was a large man with green hair and green eyes called Jericho the Tortoise. On his back was a large brown turtle shell and underneath it he wore a brown vest and cream colored khakis.

"I-it's raining out, Roseala-sama," Kimmy said in a quiet voice that was nearly inaudible in the busy train station.

Roseala was pulled out of her deep thoughts when she heard Kimmy speak, "Oh," she said as she looked outside, "I guess we should hurry back to guild then."

Jericho then took the time to speak up, "So long as you don't let the time get ahead of you in your rush, Roseala," he advised. Roseala stared at Jericho, wondering what that exactly meant, before setting off towards the exit of the station to begin her trek through the rain.

A/N: I wrote this chapter with an injured hand, so this chapter was a bit shorter than the last two, but I was determined to get a chapter out this week.

So yeah, there's chapter 3 and once again, sorry about the wait. A lot of stuff happened, plus the injured hand. So I hope you enjoyed it!

And as I said in the first A/N, I'm gonna try to make this a weekly thing, but I'm gonna be kinda busy next week, so we'll see.

Please remember to review!

Your (injured) host,
