"Damn it," the old man cursed under his breath. "Girls, I want you to search the archive again; this time with Reedus and Erza. Do you have any more of those glasses, by any chance?"
Levy nodded, "I always carry a spare."
"I...don't," Lucy held her head in somewhat shame.
"Give those to Reedus, and Erza, you can either make a stop in town for a pair, or read on your own." The Redhead nodded at his request. "Gray and Freed, I would like you two to go to the local library, even though it will be a wild goose chase, we need as much ground covered as possible. Ashfallen is a lost magic, but there has already been times that we have encountered those with lost magic. I will contact the Wizard Saints, even though it a Fairy Tail matter, and other guilds. Hopefully those wise fools have more information to spare."
"This seems to be a big matter over one person..." one of them uttered.
"It's not a big matter if one of my brats is missing. We must get her back."
The meeting seemed to end on that note. All of them started to walk away, even debating to others whether it was one spell or another. Gajeel walked with Wendy to her table. Carla sat across from the two, as did Lilly. "What have we missed?"
Gajeel leaned over the table. All of this fuss over the Pinky was starting to grind his nerves. "Girlie, don't you have visions and stuff?" he asked the cat.
Carla sat up with her back straight. She looked down upon of Gajeel. "Sometimes I get visions from the future, but it's not some stuff."
He rolled his eyes. "You aren't gettin' anythin' from this?"
"No, if I did, I would have informed Wendy-san of that already."
"How do these visions happen? By touchin, or bein somewhere?"
"The visions happen at random times. Why, do you think I may get some by going to her house?"
"I'm just askin' cuz Blue Furball has her scarf."
Wendy turned around in her seat, and Carla looked at the blue cat that was flying around Lisanna; away from Carla's side. "It could be a possibility," she nodded at Gajeel's thoughts.
Lilly, who was sitting there listening, called the blue cat over; which also has gotten the attention of Laxus. The blonde peered over the corner and listened. Happy landed on the table facing two Exceeds. "What do you want?" he questioned in this friendly tone. He head tilted to the right as the black cat stood up.
"We will need the scarf for a moment," Carla stated.
His paw gripped onto the white fabric before giving it up to Lilly. Carla rested her paw onto it.
A pink haired girl stood by the riverside. She skipped a rock into the water and it skipped two times before landing into the bottom. "What's taking him forever," the girl mumbled under her breath. She picked up another rock which was slightly larger than the first. The sun beamed down on her as she threw her arm back and caused the rock to completely sink without skipping. "Awe man," she grumbled. The girl turned around, now annoyed at her small game, and looked at her house.
The house was wooden, even though she practiced in fire magic. The wooden boards were loose as they were stacked on top of each other. There were two openings in places of windows, and a metal sheet for the door. It wasn't much, but it was her home. Outside of it was trash she threw out from the supposed windows. 'I should really take that to Lucy's house...' she thought. "Yo, Happy! You done yet?" She started walking on the path to her house until a sudden sound halted her.
Something splashed in the river, and it wasn't a rock. Before she could turn to question the object, a large shadow floated over her and the clearing. 'Must be hail,' she thought. The girl once again started her trail, when a voice called out.
"Caderder'it Cinisinus"
Flames appeared around her body. Happy opened the door, "I'm don-" She was engulfed in flames and before she could even try to eat the fire, she vanished without a trace. Leaving behind only a scarf covered in ash.
Carla opened her eyes, only to be met with others staring at her; looking for answers. "It did give me a vision, but only of when she disappeared. The spell was stated in...Old language."
"That's all? You didn't see where she was or anythin?"
"Now we know what spell it is once it's translated," Pantherlilly argued.
Wendy leaned over the table, "What was it?"
Carla closed her eyes and voiced out loud the two spoken words. "Caderder'it Cinisinus." This caused the two Dragonslayers to sit back with wide eyes as if they were stunned. The white cat stepped over and stared at Wendy, touching the girl's forehead with her paw. "Wendy? What's wrong?"
The blue haired girl looked over at Gajeel, who had the same reaction. "That was...dragon language...Grandeeney used it..."
"Metalicana did too..."
Happy looked up as Lilly handed him the scarf back. "Could it have been Igneel?"
"But why now out of all times? Why hasn't the other dragons returned?" The Iron Dragonslayer smashed his palms onto the table. He too wanted to find his father. He looked down into his lap, at his hand as a small activation of his magic was used.
"I'm going to go tell Master," Wendy stood up. Carla stood up and jumped off onto the ground; leaving Happy and Lilly there with Gajeel. The two of them took the stairs leading to his office. Wendy slightly knocked on the door and waited for an answer. She hopped from one foot to the other. If Natsha was taken by Igneel, then would Grandeeney come for her? Would they finally figure out what happen to their foster parents after all of this time? 'Why Grandeeney hasn't come for me...?' she thought with a bitter taste of resentment for Natsha. She shook her head to rid the thoughts; she didn't like that bitterness in the depths of her stomach.
Finally Makarov opened the door. He raised one of his fingers as he continued talking on the device. It seemed as though he was having a debate with the other person. The old man signaled for her to sit down across from him.
Downstairs, she could hear the door opening and three sets of footsteps walking it. The sweet smell of Mirajane swelled into her nose, as was the scent of Elfman's sweat. The third smell was something she remembered before. It was Doranbolt who entered the guild with the two of them. Wendy looked at the door, but without x-ray vision, she could not see the man who saved her life before.
Makarov hanged up his phone and looked at the small girl in front of him. "Did you find something ou-?"
Some knocking at the door interrupted him. "Master! Mira and Elfman are back, with Doranbolt!" Max's voice floated into the office.
Master looked at Wendy for her to continue, but she stayed silence. He rose from his chair and opened the two to see three awaiting faces. "Makarov-san," the man gave a slight bow to the unsuspecting Master. They only saw each other briefly during the Grand Magic Games.
The old man laughed, "Good to see you three are back!" His tone became heavier, "Come on in, and give me your reports."
He backed away and gave room for the three to come in. Doranbolt entered first, being closest to the door, followed by Mirajane and Elfman. The three of them stood behind Wendy as Master Makarov took his sit behind his desk. "It has seemed like you have a problem on your hands, from what Mirajane-san told me. I will try to help with whatever I can."
"One of our own guild members disappeared without the lightest of trace. It has seemed to have something to do with transportation magic, which you, yourself uses. We have some information regrading the topic, but we would like you to add your insight."
"I'm afraid that my magic couldn't be much help into this case, Master-san. If you have not known, my spells only affect me, and those I carry."
"Wendy told use about that restriction, but could you spare a few details about transporting magic? The knowledge we know is lesser than we hoped."
The blue haired girl looked down at her hands. She was waiting until the others to leave to sprout the news of the Old Language, but it seemed like Doranbolt and Master would have a long conservation. "Excuse me," she stood up from her seat and walked out of the room. Doranbolt looked at the doorway as the small girl left; neither of them exchanged any words.
She walked down the flight of stairs right as Mirajane and Elfman exited. "Wendy, are you okay?" the sliver haired girl asked.
"Yes. It was nothing to be bothered with, Mirajane-san," she continued down the stairs as Elfman and Mirajane slowly followed.
The sliver haired girl looked across the room at Erza. The two walked and met in the middle of the guild, "Did you find anything?" the sweet loveable Mirajane asked.
"None. Aria's lips were as sealed as the prison. How about you?"
"None to help find Natsha. Doranbolt-kun only knows a few spells about transportation, but none of them involved causing one to disappear out of nowhere." She tilted her head to the side and sighed. "I wish we were closer, but we must be patient."
"We still have no lead on who kidnapped her, her location. Nor the spell that was used."
"She can't just vanish into thin air," Max stated as he overheard the conversation.
"We are using all whole guild effort as well," the Sliver haired mentioned.
"Only time will tell."
Max leaned his head over the chair and looked at the Redhead. "That reminds me, weren't you suppose to be in the library?"
Erza looked down at her hand. Using force wasn't exactly the right way to read a book. Within that room, the others were well adjusted into reading, yet she was still on one book because she didn't acquire the glasses. "Freed came back once the two found no trace in the local library, and took over for me."
He nodded and straightens his chair. "Is...something wrong with Gajeel?"
"He hasn't moved for ten minutes," Warren added.
The two cats were standing by the post as the Iron Dragonslayer stayed hunched over the table. Erza appeared behind him and thumped him on the head. "This isn't the place to sleep."
"Um...Erza..." Mirajane walked to the other side of the table and saw that he was indeed awake, yet daydreaming.
"What's wrong with him then?"
"He could just be thinking about something, so there was no need for that."
Wendy walked over to the two of them. "He's okay," she nodded, "Mirajane's right."
Erza stared at Wendy for defending the Iron Dragonslayer. It was as if the little girl wanted them to leave them alone. "Alright then..." She turned around and left the two. Carla looked down at Lilly and Happy, who was laughing at the mistreatment of Gajeel. Wendy's hands were placed on his shoulders, and she shook him. "Gajeel, come on." She repeated his name, hoping to get him out of this dream state.
The Iron Dragonslayer shook and lifted his head, shaking it. "What was that for?" he grumbled.
"You were daydreaming," Carla stated with a harsh tone.
He rolled his eyes and stared at the girl. "You told him?"
"He was busy with Doranbolt-san."
"Gotta tell him soon, or else they will be on the wrong trail," he looked around and added, "Not that I care what happens to Pinky."
"Gajeel-san, what do you think he said? Caderder'it Cinisinus."
"I don't know. Whatever it was caused Pinky to disappear."
Well, I'm back down to 4,000 already written, guess I better get that back up to 10,000. I feel a bit unbalance having only one Fairy Tail story up, I may start a new one soon or something. Thanks for the reviews and the support!
Danizinhachan: Their relationship...I would said it's more like a Boerboel attacking if you touch his snacks. This was just something I've been meaning to write. Thanks for the review!
rinpup14: There's gonna be lots more later on.
darkhuntressxir: He has anger issues and take it out on everyone in the guild, mostly because they were hiding stuff and it was about Natsha.
