The Forgotten One

The Client.....?

Like I said, you couldn't miss a mansion in a forest. It kinda reminded me of the guild hall back in Magnolia, if the guild hall had a more Greek architectural design to it. We walked through the gates, as it was just that easy to go through, surprisingly. When we stepped inside, I gasped.

There were two grand staircases that curved to a top balcony that had a long hallway with many doors on each side. Two pillars were placed at the start of both staircases. I'm guessing that the double doors below the balcony led to the Master's Studies. Yeah that's right, I know my stuff. One of the double doors opened and revealed a....... Girl?

I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure that these clients end up being over 48 not like 17. But then again, I could be wrong.

Our "client" was a dark brunette with grey eyes. She wore a pink dress with white layers at the bottom and a pink bow that was on the side of her head. Just by looking at her I could tell she was a shy, sensitive girl who was innocent and doesn't know what to do with situations like these.

"Um... Hi, my name is Dianne Otsaega. I take it that you found my flier?" She spoke with a soft voice. What'd I tell ya?

"Yes, so what's this situation with these dark guilds?" I replied.

"Well, it started 10 years ago when a dark guild by the name of Grimoire Heart burnt my father's manor to ashes. Sadly he was in the house when it came crumbling down and I-" it was apparently too much to bear, because she started sobbing.

Gray kneeled beside her. "It's okay if you can't explain it."

"No..." She wiped her eyes. "Anyways, after... That happened, the guild had left us alone....so we thought. A little after 3 years had they returned with the help of some other dark guild that is still unknown. This had all started when my father refused to allow them to use he private estates for their dark magic purposes. Grimoire Heart still hasn't left my family alone since."

"Don't worry," I gave a thumbs up. "These guys will leave you alone after we get through to them." With that, she blushed. Geez, what's up with everyone blushing? Is that charming or something?

"Oh," Dianne said, coming into realization. "And this note that was left by my uncle. He specifically wrote it in a different language that only he knew."

I took the paper and my eyes turned white. "Runes Magic: Decipher!"

Gray's jaw dropped. "You use Rune Magic too?!"

I gave the letter back to Dianne. "I told you, I can use every type of magic. I just prefer to use Dragon Slayer magic over others, because that's what I was taught growing up."

Dianne spoke up. "Um, did you translate this correctly?"

"Yes," I turned to her. "What's wrong?"

She gave me the letter back and I read it out loud. "My dearest niece, after many years of my travels, I finally found him. The boy that can solve our answers is finally close by, but somethings off. This Ichigua boy-" I paused.

"Lycas," Erza looked at me, concerned. "Isn't your last name Ichigua?"

I nodded and continued. "-was stranded in the woods, wounded and unconscious. I don't know what to do with him though. His parents are no where to be found and he was left with this pendant. I put it in this box, and I believe you'll know what to do with it, Dianne. You should ask your father about this boy and then have him meet me in 2 years. Everything will make sense then. - Uncle Richard"
