Heeeeeey! I have my internet back, so I'll be uploading much faster (Yaaay) Anyway, I hope you all enjoy my tenth chapter! XD

Chapter 10: A disapointing revelation

The bird of paradise swooped and glided back over the baran valley, Nova still clinging on for dear life.

"Why did they just hand you the book of Zeref like that? Isn't it a bit strange?" Chrys called behind her.

"They had no use for it. Their whole guild - apart from the master - was under a curse."

"I suppose."
"I was quite surprised too, especially after we got attacked by that other guild member." Fudo was also slightly puzzled, but he new it was illegal to posses such scrpit. "Wow, this book has everything! It even has dark spells used by the wizard!" He added, flicking through the ancient pages until he got to the right section. "Chrys... Look at this."

The celesial mage turned round and read the page in question;

The four object demons of Zeref lie in the Icy mountains of Galascia, the mansion of Ivder, the forest of Canalar and the sea shore of Perfonie.

WARNING: Please note that once you seal the demons in their boxes, to prevent them from escaping when they've re-charged their power, you must use this light spell: ...

"Great... None of us know light magic. What're we going to do?" Chrys asked.

"We're gon'na need to go back to the guild and get help from a light wizard. Not sure if there is any though... But It's too risky travelling with the box of the house demon if it could attack any minute." Fudo replied, slightly exasperated.

Chrys sighed, "Great... We have to go all the way back? Well, there's one good thing, we have the locations of all four!" She tried to add a positive note on the end, but it didn't come out very enthusiastic.

"W-h-h-at?" Nova trembled from behind.

"It's for the best." Fudo looked behind him.

"B-B-B-ut there's no light wizards in our guild..."
"We'll have to try look."

"Apus, head for the guild." The celestial mage ordered, sighing yet again. The bird was moving in the right direction, so she quickened her speed, causing Nova to let out a small whimper.

A few hours had past when Apus finnaly landed on the fresh grass of the guild. They all slid off the bird's outstretched wing and for the first time in a while, felt the homely presence of Blue Pegasus. Chrys sent the helpful spirit back to it's world and joined Fudo and Nove to the entrance.

"I'll go break the news to Bob." The cosmic dragon walked over to the guild master, who was buisy painting his nails.

"Fudo! Back so soon, Darling?" He questioned enthusiastically when he realized he was there.

"Acctually, Bob, we have some news to report. We have gained possesion of a copy of the book of Zeref and think it would be best to put it in a safe place. We now know the locations of the three we still need to obtain so it's of no use to anyone now. Another thing we learned from the book is that in order to prevent the demons from escaping, we need someone to cast a light encasement spell on it."

"I see... The actual book of Zeref? Okay, first, write down the locations of the demons, then give the book to me and I'll hand it in to the council. I'll then look round the guild to find a light mage to help you on your journey. Anything else I can do for you hun?"

"Erm... No, thanks. We'll start searching around the guild for any light mages first."

"Oh, you! I'll go get you a map and mark the places. Meanwhile, You go find a light mage." Bob smiled, retreating to his office.

"Okay. Now that we've taken care of the book, let's find a light mage." Fudo turned around to face the other two.

"Okays!" Nova cheered. The three mages moved in their opposite directions.

Chrys was unsure of who to ask. She'd barely joined the guild so she didn't know anyone so she decided to follow Fudo.

"Erm... Fudo, I don't know anyone here, can I go with you?" She asked awkuardly.

"Yeah, sure, I was about to go ask the Trimens if they knew anyone."

"Thanks."

Soon enough, Fudo and Chrys approched Hibiki, Ren and Eve. The celestial mage was relived to see there was no Ichiya with them.

"Hey, Can I ask you guys something?" The dragon slayer strode up to them confidently.

"Sure, what?" Eve replied.

"Do you guys know of any light mages in the guild?"
"No, sorry... " Hibiki replied, not noticing Chrys, who was trying to avoid any social situations like before.

"Oh, okay, see 'ya!" the two walked away, both in deep thought.

Nova decided to ask the most social person in the guild. Jenny. She spotted her sitting at a table with other female members of the guild near the bar. Nove pulled her dress up at the bottom and down at the top and walked up to her.

"Hey, Jenny! Haven't spoke to you in ages!"
"Hey, Nova! How's it going?"
"Good, although I came over here to ask if you know any light mages that have joined the guild, so I can't talk long ...Do you?"

"Hmmm... Oh yeah! There is one, but I suggest you stay away from him." Jenny was slightly disapointed at Nova's abnormal anti-social behaviour, but answered her question anyway.

"Yay! Thanks, I'll see you later!" She cried on her way back to Fudo and Chrys, who were currently asking their 10th person.

Chrys and Fudo looked across to see Nova running excitedly towards them.

"Hey, guys, guess what?" She called.

"Did you find someone?" Fudo asked in disbelif.

"Yeah! I got all the info from Jenny. His name is Ishigo, he's a light mage, and I was advised to stay away from him which means he must be like mega powerful or something!"

"Great! I didn't know the guy existed until now!"

"Me neither!"
"He must be new or something..."

"That's even better! He built up a reputation like that in such a short period of time!"

"Okay... That's good and all, but where is he?" Chrys interupted.

"According to Jenny... That's him over there!" The three mages looked across at a table where a mid-height, lone boy was sitting. His face was hid by sunglasses and most of his black hair was covered by the large collar of his long, shady black coat. The group cautiously approched him, trying to make their appearance look as intimidating as his.

Thanks for reading, and what do you think of the new character so far? I'll be introducing him properly in chapter eleven. Pluuus, what would you prefer, Fudys, or Fuva? Review or pm me! I'll also be accepting OCs to play a small part in the guild since there aren't very many members and I can't be bothered creating new ones by myself. :)
