Prologue: The Water Dragon's pain

Silena Oceana and Laira left the Mermaid Heel on a job, the young Water Dragon Slayer and her Exceed partner had taken a request for taking down a small gang of nonmagical bandits harassing a nearby village, the sun was shining, birds were singing, it was a beautiful day, and the cheeriness of the day infected the teenager, who was skipping down the path, her waist length, cobalt blue hair bouncing, a bright smile on her face, causing her sea green eyes to sparkle. Laira wasn't so excited, the orange and white cat walked calmly in her friend's wake, her green dress and her tail swishing.

"Really Silena, you would think that someone who was about to go hunt down potentially dangerous bandits would be a little less happy."

"How can you not smile on a day like this! It's beautiful out Lai, come on, loosen up a bit, smile!"

"I still think you should let me fly us to this town." The Exceed grumbled.

"No way am I missing the chance to enjoy this weather! The village isn't too far away, we'll be there, knock those bandits around a bit, then be back before dinner." Silena assured her friend.

Laira sighed, then she allowed a small smile, she could always count on Silena to brighten a day, Laira regarded her as a younger sister, despite the human girl being almost ten years older than her, she acted like an immature younger sibling most of the time.

The two friends managed to make it to the village, whose name was Garibond, before twelve, Silena calmed down once they entered the village, and they made their way to the Mayor's office.

"Hello, we're the Mermaid Heel wizards here to take care of your bandit problem, we'd like to speak to the mayor." Silena told the blonde receptionist, the woman pointed her to his office, Laira knocked on the door.

"Come in!" A tired male voice called from behind the door.

The mayor of Garibond was much younger than either wizardess had expected, he was in his early twenties, painfully thin, and had dark bags under his eyes.

"You two are the wizards they sent? A little girl, and a cat." The man spoke in a monotone, barely changing his inflection at all, Silena, however got upset, she hated being mistaken for younger than she was, even though it was a pretty easy mistake to make, she was five foot five, flat chested, and had a very open and honest face that made her seem even more childlike.

"Hey, I'm seventeen thank you very much! And Laira is an Exceed, not a cat!"

"Fine, fine... The bandits are holed up in the cave in the forest, I'll send someone to take you there, but he won't stick around, you'll have to take care of the bandits and get back here on your own."

"Alright, let's get going Laira, oh, and Mr. Mayor, could we have a cart? They'll probably be unconscious when I bring them in, and I don't want to carry them all by hand, it would take too long."

"Fine."

The guide that the mayor assigned them was a jumpy man named Furgus, he guided them to the bandit's cave, then ran away. Since the bandit's wouldn't be back until three, when they would drop off the days haul before going out again, Silena and Laira sat in chairs in the cave and waited, three hours later, ten men of varying sizes walked into the cave, to find Silena standing in the center of the cave.

"Alright, I'm a Mermaid Heel wizard, if you give up now I won't have to beat you unconscious." The biggest man, clearly the leader, looked at his men, then he laughed.

"A little kid like you, is gonna take me and my boys out all by yourself? Yeah right!"

"Water Dragon's Vortex Fist!" Silena cried, as a rapidly swirling ball of water formed around her fists, she launched herself at the leader, a single right straight, boosted by her magic, was enough to send the big man flying backwards into a tree.

"Water Dragon's Swirling Wing Attack!" Silena spun in place and a ring of pressurized water exploded out from her hands, blasting the remaining bandits off their feet, most of them hit the cave walls and were knocked out, but two were simply knocked out of the cave, they leveled their guns at the young Dragon Slayer, only to see her sucking in air.

"Water Dragon's Roar!" A blue magic circle appeared in front of the girl, then a massive torrent of water blasted both bandits through four trees. Silena loaded the ten bandits into the cart, the big guy was especially hard, but, thankfully, Dragon Slayers were physically stronger than most other people their size, and Laira helped.

Silena towed the ten unconscious bandits behind her, she started skipping again as they entered Garibond, and dropped off the soaking wet bandits off in front of the visibly dumbstruck mayor, who handed over the reward, then made arrangements for the ten men to be put in the town jail.

Silena turned to Laira. "Lai, I'm so excited to see what I can buy with my reward! Let's fly back home, ok?"

"Alright, let's go, Silena." Using her Aera magic Laira gained a pair of white feathered wings, then she flew behind her human partner, wrapped her arms and legs around her friend, and took off, her magical wings carrying them both back home.

What they saw as they approached the guildhall ruined their good moods completely, they landed and ran for the building in a panic, the entire structure had been frozen completely solid, and when they looked in to the window, they saw their friends, various expressions of pain, surprise, and fear literally frozen on their faces, they were all completely encased in ice, and Silena's Enhanced Dragon Slayer senses told her the unthinkable, they were all dead, and the person who'd done this, was a Dragon Slayer.
