Endless adventure

Chapter 9

Erza was again on a train. It had been three days since their completed mission and it was time to go back home. They had stayed for the competition and sampled many treats. Mostly Erza because Archer kept her mask on. The only thing she actually took interest in was any form of milkshake. The day went by too quickly in Erza's opinion.

Now she sat next to a sick Archer who had her head on the window. The color had drained from her face and she had her eyes closed. She seemed to be regulating her breathing. Erza was still wrapping her head around the fact that she had motion sickness. It was explained why, but it felt odd. She was so powerful and yet a ride on the train renders her to a sick mess.

"Will you be alright? "

Archer nodded, not opening her eyes. She really needed to make sure to have her meds the next time around. How could she forget them? Of all the things. She sighed. She had to endure for a few hours. She needed to distract herself so she thought of what she would do when she returned. She planned on going on another mission. There was a pull on her magic and mind. She had to follow it. She would see if she found a mission that would lead her to a town in the direction of the pull. She wondered if Natsu arrived at the guild yet. She was fairly certain things still had to go somewhat as they did in the anime. He would have to stumble onto master at some point. Hopefully she wouldn't have to wait too long.

She'll need his help if she's going to hunt down the others. She really had no clue where they were. She could track them, but things would work out faster if two people were in search of them. She needed to find Wendy, but she would be safe. She should run into edo Jellal and travel with him for some time. Archer had no idea what Gajeel or the brothers are going through though. Hopefully they were safe enough.

The train took a sharp turn that sent Archer's stomach rolling and she tipped over. Why? Why did the train have to turn like that?

Erza was surprised when Archer fell limply onto her lap. It seems she just went with the movement of the train, having no strenght to keep herself upright. She didn't move though. Erza wondered if she was alright.

"Archer? "

Archer didn't really respond. She just took another deep breath and sighed. She adjusted herself so she was more comfortable in her new position. She felt slightly better in her new position. The scent of strawberry was calming and kept her distracted enough for her motion sickness to not be such an antagonist.

"I hope you don't mind me using you at this moment" she said quietly as she closed her eyes and tried to direct most of her focus on the scent of strawberry. There was always something more to a person's scent. Erza's was mainly strawberry, but of course there was something else. A unique scent to her alone. It had a hint of her mother's unique scent to it as well.

Erza didn't say anything simply because she didn't know what to say. Archer seemed a bit better, so she figured lying in her lap helped. She didn't mind if it was helping her she supposed. She just didn't know what to do with her hands now. They were in her lap until Archer landed on her. She hesitantly placed a hand on Archer's head. Her hair was soft. Really soft. Impossibly so.

"Archer? "

Said girl hummed in response.

"Are you even human? "

Archer chuckled. She had a feeling Erza was debating whether or not she was or not.

"Who knows?"

"You do"

"Yes I do, don't I? " Archer hummed. "I don't feel like telling"

Erza said nothing. She only stared at the girl. She looked human, but it is shown that dragons can take the form. Archer even said the Phoenix walk amongst them. Taking the form of human .
