The Jade Dragon

Mission to Oak town! A new team is formed

Alexei and Marin and Senya were sitting inside the fairy tail guild hall relaxing after the fiasco surrounding Erza and the magic council the three had been trying to relax. However, it was at that moment marin decided to speak up

"Alexei, shouldn't we take a job? Our rent money is gonna tide us over another month tops," he said as Alexei let out a large sigh and put the food he was eating down, giving him an exasperated look.

"I guess you're right. Suppose we should look at the request board. Hey Senya, you wanna come with us?" Alexei asked as Senya looked up from the book she was reading and gave him a surprised look

"oh Um sure sounds like fun when are we leaving" she asked as she stood up placing her book inside her pack

"today hopefully depending on what jobs there are" Alexei replied as they walked towards the request board.

Alexei began to scan the board for a while until one caught his eye it read "help wanted the rogue terrorising our town must be stopped will pay well," Alexei thought about the implications of taking this job before nodding to himself, " this one seems fun, just hope it'll pay well" he said with a weary smile.

Alexei walked over to mira who was currently organising the bar "hey mira we're gonna take this job," Alexei said, holding the request notice in the air.

"Oh, that one that came in a few days ago. Nobody's taken it since it didn't have a reward posted, but I don't see why not."

"Thanks Mira." Alexei smiled

As he walked over to where Senya and Marin were, Alexei noticed they were deep in conversation about something. "Guys, are you ready to leave? Mira said "we could take this job". Both Senya and Marin looked at each other, then at Alexei.

'' Of course we are. The question is, are you Alexei" Marin said as he flew up next to the boy. Alexei paused at that question.

"Well yes, I am, though I am a little on edge," Alexei mused, Senya with concern on her face raised an eyebrow at this.

"on edge? Alexei, are you okay?"  Senya asked with concern

Alexei chucked slightly "oh yeah I'm fine just this will be my first mission not with natsu and the others" Senya blinked a couple times in confusion "Alexei where exactly is this job we're taking.

Alexei reread the notice "Oak town it says why does that have some significance for you?"

Senya's eyes widened. "Oak town!" Why didn't you say that sooner? I can see my uncle, oh Alexei, let's go now!" Senya, at this point, was radiating excitement. Marin and Alexei looked at each other and smiled at Senya's childlike enthusiasm.

As they walked out of the guild hall Alexei began looking at a map he had in his pack Marin raised an eyebrow at this "since when do you carry a map?"

Alexei rolled his eyes sarcastically "since you started telling me I should, anyway it says here Oak town is around a day's travel from here so if we set off now we should be okay." Senya was confused.

"Why can't we take a train?" Senya asked

Hearing that caused Alexei to pale "no no no no trains" Alexei made clear, waving his hands around for added emphasis.

"aww is the big scary dragon slayer afraid of a little train" Senya couldn't contain her laughter as even Marin despite his best efforts couldn't help but join in this caused Alexei to go extremely red in embarrassment

"s-shut up not my fault they make me wanna be sick" Marin flew in between the two teens a smug look on his face

"well Senya maybe you could help Alexei out with that" Marin preceded to whisper something into Senya's ear that caused her to bright red,
