To think I'd be requested by a Wizard Saint of all people.

I had always admired the Wizard Saints, of the ten people that were given the honor of becoming the strongest in Fiore. To be a Saint was to be respected by the wizards around Fiore and have the experience to give words to the Magic Council whenever possible. While I don't really know what the Saints does, Master Jose usually go to meetings at the Council for big events that could decided the future of the kingdom.

Dressed in my traveling cloak, which danced around my feet I was walking side by side with Erza and Lucy. I was wearing RuneSave upon my back along with a small bag that was tied around my waist. I used that one to be able to carry some food with me if I felt a little hungry while I was out. It was a day out with the wind blowing gently through the open lands that stretched on either side of us.

"This breeze is quite nice," Lucy said, "not to mention the perfect weather we've been having today."

"Yeah it's quite nice," Erza admitted, her red hair flying behind her as a gentle wind passed us.

"Today had been a beautiful day all around," I smirked.

"Yeah it sounds like we're going on a picnic," Happy added.

"It would…if it weren't for those two," Carla said.

I glanced behind me and sure enough, both Natsu and Gray were once again in argument and this time it seems to be about a missing jerky. I let out a sigh as I stared at the two idiots that I was paired up with for this mission.

"Natsu, Gray," I called out, "We are going to be working for a Wizard Saint like the Master. He told you to behave while we're there so how about we put the jerky business on hold for now?"

The two didn't seem like they even heard me.

"Honestly," I said shaking my head, "How I am suppose to work with these two?"

"We tagged along so that we could help but…honestly I don't think that's possible," Lucy said.

"Story of my life," I said shaking my head before facing forward again.

We continued our trek through the dirt path that was in front of us. When we got the Request the day before, they didn't say much on what we have to do just that we have to show up at the Wizard's Saint home and he had even left his address for us to come to him. It's not unusual for us to get something like that but I couldn't figure out why the man wanted us. He was one of the Four Emperors of Ishgar. What couldn't he handle that he believed we could?

"If I am remembered this correctly," Lucy started, "the Wizards Saint are chosen by the Magic Council right? How does one become an Emperor of Ishgar…the same way?"

"That's right," Erza explained, "Master Makarov and Lamia Scale's Jura have been Wizard Saint for years. Jose of Phantom Lord once had the title but was stripped of it…similar to Jellal…I mean, Siegrain when he left the Council. But the wizard Saints are far from equals, the Four strongest among them are called Emperor of Ishgar."

"Maybe…I should just go back to the guild?" Lucy said, sounding a little terrified, but compared to her I was excited.

"The four greatest wizards on the entire continent," I smiled looking at the clouds passing above us, "What I wouldn't give to actually reach that level. But since I am aiming for a Wizard Saint post…I might just go for that title too."

I feel a tug at my sleeve and I glanced down toward Wendy who had come to stand beside me.

"What is Ishgar?" she asked, looking up toward me.
