Chapter 6

Alice and Light lean up as they gave Macarov a small smile. Macarov just grin as he rub his mustache.

"Well then we better head to the guild so you two can be an official Fairy Tail member," Macarov said as he turn around and started to walk. The other wizards gave way to him.

Light nods as he was about to follow Macarov but stopped when he noticed that Alice didn't move. He glance at her and noticed that she was looking at the forest. By just that, Light already know what she was thinking. He turn around and place a hand on Alice's shoulder, this made Alice turn her head and face Light with a sad expression.

"I'm going to miss this place," Alice said as she smile remembering the time they spent with the two Phoenixes.

Light rub Alice's shoulder as he nods. He will also miss this place but they can always go back here to train.

"We can always go back here if we want to train. Also Ra and Star will be happy if we're safe and they know that we will be at Fairy Tail," Light said to reassure Alice. Alice nods.

"Thanks Light," Alice said to Light who smile at her.

Light turn around still holding Alice so she will follow him and she did as they both walk and follow Macarov and the other Fairy Tail members.

Macarov smile as he saw the two following them and face the front as he lead them back to the guild.

The group took nearly another two days of travelling during which time very little happened. The trek was hard as they had much ground to cover and although a few members of the group possessed magics said that could have got them home much faster they didn't bother to use them as the rest of the group would simply be left in their wake.

The only event of note that occurred was during the second day when the master called the two young wizards over to talk to him. "I feel that now you have been with the group a few days, you should share your magic with us. You first dear," he said pointing at Alice.

"Light Phoenix Slayer" she said immediately

"Dark Magic" Light said confidently. He and Alice had talked earlier about this and while Alice didn't know what Lights reasons for hiding his true magic were, she trusted him enough to go along with it.

Macarov raise an eyebrow as he looked up to Light. He could feel that he was hiding something but didn't ask for he thinks that Light might probably have his own reason why and he will discuss it privately to him. The other members looked at each other as they feel wary on Light's magic. Macarov noticed it and suddenly laugh.

"Ahahaha! How ironic your name is Light and yet your magic is Dark Magic. That sure is interesting. You're not thinking of going against us right?" Macarov said.

Light chuckle as he cross his arms and looked to Macarov and the other Fairy Tail members.

"Not really but, if you don't mind me having a sparring with your members then that would be enough for me," Light reply which made Alice hit him on the side for saying that. Light glance to Alice and shrugged and Alice just roll her eyes.

Macarov laugh louder as he can tell that Light is perfect to be a member of Fairy Tail and so is Alice for standing up on him. He glance to his kids and saw that they finally lose their tension and starting to welcome the two again.

Alice was the more relaxed of the two, he noticed. While Light had released, there was still a spring of tension in the boy that hinted at his readiness for battle. It was almost like he still expected to be attacked. There was something about him that indicated that he wasn't quite what he seemed. For one that fact that see two young ones behaved like they had know each other all their life, he had no reason to doubt it. But one was a Slayer type while the other claimed not to be. Slayer types were taught there magic over a long period of time, usually their lives. So that meant one of the two was lying, or least being actively deceitful.

But no matter the two still seemed to fit in to an extend. The girl had easily fitted in with the other girls like Lucy, Wendy and Levy. Erza was probably just going to require more time to get used to. The boy however had interpreted himself quite as seamlessly. While he sat with others at meal times. He spend most of his time walking alone.

He hoped the now that he had spoken with the young ones the boy would fully integrate himself with the group but somehow he doubted it. He also had a feeling that the boy was hiding the true extent of his power. He didn't know why but then again the boy would have his reasons for hiding what it was.

Now it's night time and they are almost near to their destination. Master decided to camp out for now instead of walking in the middle of the night. They set their tents up and camp out. They ate their dinner and went to bed, except for Light. He didn't know if he can't sleep or he just doesn't want to, so he stood up and started to walk around for a while, not noticing that someone was watching him.

Light was walking while kicking a small rock as he was in deep thought. He was thinking about Fairy Tail, even without fighting them he could feel how strong each member is. He was thinking who's the strongest among them excluding Macarov as he's the guild master so of course he's the strongest. Although he did get the feeling that there was one wizard in the group who may be even stronger. He wondered just how strong the strongest was or of they were even here. He would love to fight them at least once and see how strong they are and if he can defeat them.

Light snap out on his thoughts when he heard rustling. He looked behind to see if there's anyone there, but there's none, but he could feel someone is watching him.

"Who's there?" he asked as he looked around.

A rustle came from his side and he was about to attack when suddenly Alice appear with her arms cross glaring at Light.

"Why are you still awake?" Alice asked as she walked towards Light.

Light sigh as he lower his hands and looked at Alice.

"I dunno, I can't sleep and at the same time I don't feel like to sleep," he reply as he sat down.

Alice sigh and copy Light as she also sat down next to him.

"You want me to made you a drink that could help you sleep?"

Light shook his head as he looked up to the starry sky.

"Nah. I'm good. So? Why are you still awake?" he asked Alice without looking at her.

Alice glance to Light then slowly she lie down to the grass and stare on the star.

"I noticed you walked off to the camp and there's something bothering me," she said then she looked at Light. "Why are you hiding you're a Phoenix Slayer as well?"

"Because of what Dark Phoenix slayers are" He said

"But aren't they just another type of slayer?" She asked quietly, afraid someone might overhear them.

"No. We aren't normal slayers. Our power functions slightly differently. You know of the Lost Art Holy Darkness. That's the key to it" He said

"What do you mean?" Alice asked becoming more confused as Lights created more questions than they answered.

"Truthfully to you I'm not hundred percent sure. I'm still only grasping at the basics of it" He said "But what i do know is that Holy Darkness isn't what everything's it is"
