Fairy Tail: City of Heaven
Part. 4
The rest of the train ride was pretty quiet, Natsu and Gray got into their usual arguments but after the incident back at the train station, all it took was a glare from Erza to make them behave. "I hope were getting there soon, I'm so bored" said Natsu, "We should be getting there soon, then we can see if this whole thing with ghosts and evil spirits is true" said Erza, "Well if any ghosts come after Juvia, they will have to get through my big strong Gray-sama first" said Juvia fawningly, "Yeah, sure" said Gray trying to ignore her.
The train came to a halt, a voice came in over the intercom, "Attention passengers we have reached our destination, the village of Toigo is a short walk away", "That must be the village we need to go" said Lucy, "Indeed, once we get our things off the train we will leave immediately" said Erza. Everyone had gotten off the train with their things, except for Juvia, she didn't think to pack anything when following the group to stalk Gray. "Juvia forgot to pack, well anything" said Juvia, "It's okay Juvia, if your clothes get dirty you can borrow some of mine" said Erza as she pulled her mountain of luggage.
"How do we know this is the right village" asked Wendy, "Well it's the only one near the train station, so I guess it is" said Natsu, "I'll fly up high to see how much longer it will be" said Happy. Happy flew up high above the trees, he spotted the village but she also saw some strange ruins in a nearby swamp. "Natsu, I saw some weird old buildings when I was flying" said Happy, "I bet that's where the ghosts are, point to me in the right direction Happy, I want to fight ghosts" said Natsu running towards the swamp before Erza hit him in the face. "Natsu, what have I said about barging into things, remember what happened last time" said Erza, "Fine, let's keep walking" Natsu grumbled.
The group finally arrived at the village of Toigo, the people while frightened at first became happy and grateful once Erza announced they were wizards who taken the job to save the town. After receiving greetings from the townspeople they met with the village elder, an older man named Hori. "So you are Fairy Tail wizards, I have heard of that guild, one of the best in Fiore" said Hori, "You better believe it buddy, now where are those ghosts" yelled Natsu, "Natsu behave" yelled Erza, "Excuse him he is a little slow in the head" said Gray, "Ok ice boy it's on now, you, me, outside right now" yelled Natsu before Erza slapped him and Gray. "Please excuse them, they are immature" said Erza, "It's quite alright, I wish more of the men in this village had the same vigor they have, and then maybe we could save ourselves" said Hori.
"If you don't mind me asking, we saw some strange ruins in the swamp nearby, does that have anything to do with the ghosts" said Lucy, "I believe so, those ruins have ancient and mysterious history behind them so it's entirely possible" said Hori. "What are those ruins" asked Wendy, "Well they belonged to ancient civilization known only as 'the Ones of the Light', centuries ago they ruled over a thriving and bustling civilization but then they vanished without a trace leaving behind those ruins, as to where they went it is unknown" said Hori, "Now what about these ghosts and sprits" asked Erza, "Well my people have told me at night they see these strange figures wearing white hooded robes, and some have even been taken by these figures" said Hori, "I saw some strange men on the train wearing white robes" yelled Gray, everyone looked at Gray shocked by what he said.
"You have, were they ghosts" asked Hori, "No they were human from what I could tell, but they were taking about a prophecy and ancient texts" said Gray. "I hate to ask this but it may be in the best interest of fixing this problem if you explore the ruins" said Hori, "I agree, we shall go right away" said Erza, "But Erza I'm starving" said Natsu, "Aye" said Happy, "Yeah I'm hungry and tired" said Lucy, "Juvia doesn't want to walk anymore" said Juvia, "Fine, we will go tomorrow then" said Erza grudgingly. "You all are more than welcome here, if you are hungry we will be more than happy to feed as much as you wish" said Hori, "Now that's what I'm talking about, to the food Happy" yelled Natsu, "Aye sir" yelled Happy. "If you are weary from your travels we also have an Onsen just a short walk away" said Hori, "Now that's what I need my feet are killing me" said Lucy, "Juvia could use some relaxing as well, Gray-sama will you join Juvia in the Onsen" said Juvia gawking at Gray, "I'll pass I think I will take a look around this place and see what's with these hooded figures" said Gray.
While Natsu and Happy gorged themselves and Gray asked around the village for information, the girls headed towards the Onsen for a little peace and relaxation. Arriving at the Onsen, the girls split up, Wendy, Carla, and Juvia went into one spring while Erza dragged Lucy to a more secluded spring. "Finally a little alone time with my sweet Lucy" said Erza as she played with Lucy's boobs in the hot waters of the spring, "I must admit, I have been wanting a little alone time with you especially after that whole thing with Wendy on the train" said Lucy. "Kiss me my sweet Lucy" said Erza, Lucy came up to here and kissed her, Erza used one of her hands to stroke Lucy on her 'sensitive area'.
However the mood was suddenly interrupted when Juvia barged in, "Juvia, what are you doing here" asked a surprised Lucy, "Oh its nothing it's just, just", Juvia suddenly burst into a storm of tears, "Gray-sama hates Juvia, he doesn't love Juvia at all, he wants Juvia to die" said Juvia crying what seemed like a waterfall of tears. "It's okay Juvia, come here" said Erza waving her hand for Juvia to join her and Lucy, "If Gray is that much of a fool to ignore you, then he is not worthy to have you" said Erza. "Here Juvia let me massage your shoulders" said Erza, "Ok, that might make Juvia feel better" said Juvia drying her tears, Juvia got in the hot water and swam towards Erza, Erza got behind Juvia and rubbed her shoulders.
"Juvia you are beautiful woman and a powerful wizard, and if Gray is enough of a fool not to see those attributes then I say forget him, you can do better" said Erza, "Thank you Erza, you are a true friend" said Juvia still crying a little. For Lucy this situation was a little awkward, it got more awkward when Erza gave her a non-verbal queue to give her a little private time with Juvia. "Well I think I'll go see how Wendy and Carla are doing" said Lucy, "Alright my sweet Lucy, I'll see you soon" said Erza as Lucy walked out.
Lucy joined Wendy and Carla in there spring, she chatted with them for a little but she felt a little annoyed by what Erza was doing with Juvia. Then suddenly Erza and Juvia walked in, Erza was smiling and Juvia was blushing as they walked into the water. "So what did you two do" asked Lucy, "Well my sweet Lucy, let's just say I gave Juvia a 'helping hand'" said Erza smiling pervishly, Lucy tried to contain her shock but then again it was just Erza being Erza.
