After leaving the strange pink haired boy, I continued to the western edge of the small village of Magnolia where the entrance of the famed Sherwood Forest was located. Just as I was about enter the market that separated the town from the stone bridge build over canals,I was stopped by Levy-chan.
" Lu-chan! How could you?!" I guilty glanced at the large pieces of cake that laid carefully hidden in never-ending satchel. Just as i was to confess to taking the extra pieces of cake, Levy started rambling
" Annabelle and Sir James were meant to be together! That damn Arthur should never have gotten between them! Annabe-" I cut her off with a smile plastered, I now knew what she was rambling about, and even though usually I would love talk about my novel Erza don't like waiting.
" Request time with Erza and Gray" Levy understood how Erza dislike tardiness, and let me pass. As I near the forest, the forest seem to be unusually erie and unwelcome
I glanced over at the space where my friends last stood,trying to make out any shapes in the unusually thick fog. I could barely see a dull light coming from the small rune stone that was emitting it normally blinding white light. I couldn't help but shiver, the temperature was dropping rapidly,adding to the list of reason why I didn't want to be in the Sherwood at this very low visibly made it nearly impossible to see more then ten meter in front of me causing me to bump,trip, and stumble various time on fallen trees such as Oak or Rowan during my search for Erza and Gray . Maybe they have return back to Hideaway Oak, the large strangely formed oak tree that the first Master enchanted to be the only known entrance to the guild. The tree was sacred to us, it was the only thing that keep our magic and lives safe from the huge bounty on our head place was placed by the ghastly and dreadful Duke of Era. The Duke's power long surpassed the power of our figurehead King John the first, the Duke start out small by raising tax and pocketing them after a while,he became the people true king while hiding his face under a mask. I hesitated a few seconds glancing at the heavy fog surround me hoping they would emerged from the fog, I couldn't hold back my frustration any longer
" Erza!Gray! Please answer me" I cried up into the partly visible mid-noon sky,
" I don't want to be alone anymore, so please come back" I whimpered softy trying to hold back the tears as my kneel grew weak and gave out, ignoring the sharp pain as my knee hit the ground. I could feel the new gash on my right knee oozing the red color liquid called blood and I knew perfectly well that this place was a bad place to be alone in a deep fog bleeding. I tore the sleeve of my green linen shirt and tried to wrap the gash as quickly as possible before they came. I ran trying to find a place that was in remotely safe for an attack from them, after twisting and turning though various small stream trying to distort the smell my fresh blood
( Silly Lucy,how is Natsu going to save you from them if he can't find you! Oh wait he won't! Tehe)
What felt like hours later I finally found a small clearing deep inside the magic ridden forest with one way in and out. The large rocks around it had deep indentation that resembled the enchanted runes stones that were carved by Levy as a temporary substitute to fire since with her limited ability each stone could only light for a hour max. I felt my left pocket feeling that i had seven more stones left, I sat in front of the stone trying to translate the lost language. At the moment, I wanted nothing more then leave this ominous forest and having Levy translate the runes,I should have paid more attention when she tried to teach me I cursed inwardly. The first line of symbols were easily identifiable as
A Fairy Stars Lights shall rule only the path
The second line got odd and more complicated to translate the first line of runes it took me around five minutes while this one took about ten, these runes were rushed and done in a hurry and some words were even untranslatable
_ _The _fire's _might will _ die
I stared at message before me, could it have been in coded I thought, the message made much more sense without the missing words.
The Fire's might will die
I wondered if the first line had the same code, I just I had begone to decode the first line the sight breeze in the in closed meadow shifted in my direction. The cool breeze was peaceful until I took a deep breath, the smell was barely detectable but surely enough was there. The iron and metallic filled my nose with a hint of rust and salt, Blood I thought and It was fairly fresh and near by. I looked down at the gash on my leg, it was no longer bleeding and it was beginning to close up. I squinted trying to get a look at my surrounding, the fog was slow beginning to clear up but i could still barely see a thing, at less i could tell i was in a large meadow surrounded by rocks. I griped tightly my ivory bow while barely touching my sliver and gold arrows,I was prepared to attack in case something lunged out at me. As I neared the middle of the meadow, I noticed a human figure standing above two other figure who were laying in the blood stained white flowers.
" Hello?" I shouted questionable from the distance, standing my ground away from the strangers, all I heard in return was a familiar groan. It was the same groan, I heard just about every day when visited Erza during Boot Camp. My eyes widened as my brain clicked, I dropped my bow as I ran to the figures, hoping that I was wrong, that it wasn't them. I arrived just as the accursed fog dissipate, my wider in horror as the tears ran down my cheeks
"Erza...Gray"I whispered at the sight.
