Rai is more than elated that Laxus is back. And this drives her more to become stronger. This time, she accepted an S-Quest. The mission is to defeat a strong monster which uses weird magic. People called it Oddball (A/N: sorry I'm bad at naming) and there is a reason for it. It is weird nonetheless, and its form happens to be of a ball shape. It has been creating trouble for those who lived at a particular ice mountain and so the people wanted to get rid of it.
Rai went ahead, and ready to take out the monster. Just as the battle between the two was about to end, Rai got distracted for a moment and Oddball uses its weird magic and casted on her. She got hit by the magic but Rai quickly counterattack using her Dragon Slayer magic and defeated Oddball. After the battle is over, Rai head back to the village that has made the request and collected her reward.
She decided to stay the night and head back to the guild the next day. While taking a bath, she realised that her back where she got hit by the weird magic had this strange sigil. Rai finds it weird but she did not experience any pain or weird feeling. So she decided to just leave it as it is, maybe asking Poluchka about it when she got back.
On her way back, she started having an uneasy feeling about the sigil and so Rai decided to try something. She tried using her magic and she realised that the sigil was draining her magic if she uses them. Rai hurried and went straight to Poluchka.
- At Poluchka's -
"This is some kind of curse magic which is difficult to dispel... I'm afraid I can't do much for you..." Poluchka sighed as she started making some medicine for Rai.
"So there's nothing I can do?" Rai lowered her head as she asked.
"As you know, it drains your magic when you uses them. I suggest you try avoiding using magic. I can't help you, but I know someone who might be able to." Poluchka looked at Rai, and continued, "There is a wizard, her name is Myste. She is an expert at dispelling all kinds of curse magic. However, one can't find her easily."
Rai looked straight at Poluchka, looking puzzled. Poluchka continued, "Well, the last time I saw her, it was two years ago. She happened to visit me and stayed for the week. The reason why it wasn't easy to find her, was because she's always travelling, and never stayed at the same place for more than a week. She doesn't like crowded areas, and she tends to choose to stay at somewhere quiet and peaceful. I heard that somebody saw her appearing at the city to the West here. Maybe you could start looking from there."
"I see... Thanks, Poluchka. Then I guess I should prepare to leave and look for her." Rai was about to leave when Poluchka added, "As I've mentioned, it is best for you to not use magic for the time being. So I suggest you have someone to accompany you so that they can protect you."
"Alright, thanks..."
Rai finally heading back to Fairy Tail.

I guess trying to write a long story isn't easy. I really respect those who can write nice and long stories. And I respect those who are able to write many different stories as well! I'm not a good writer but I love to imagine different scenarios in my head, I guess I'm just bad at expressing myself through words.
Sorry for another short chapter. I'll try my best... >.<
I like reading inspirational/positive quotes about life so maybe I should include them at the end of each post. =)
"Work hard for what you want because it won't come to you without a fight. You have to be strong and courageous and know that you can do anything you put to your mind to. If somebody puts you down or criticizes you, just keep on believing in yourself and turn it into something positive." —- Leah LaBelle
