Damian arrives in town, but it seems he'll be finding more than he bargained for...

His stomach begins to growl loudly at him, no wonder, he’d been walking none stop until he got to the town.

It seemed to be pretty small, but there were carts and businesses everywhere.

It was a trading town by the looks of it, too bad he didn't have any money.

His stomach growls even louder once he smells the scent of food being cooked as he stood, it was irritating to say the least.

‘I'm so hungry...maybe if I ask nicely that sweet looking old lady would give me a bite…’

He begins drooling on the thought of eating what looked like some kind of bird...maybe, regardless Damian wanted to try it.

‘No! Now’s not the time Damian, you have to focus and find information on where the other's might be!
You're a Fairy Tail Wizard so act like one!’

He slaps his cheeks to get himself to focus up and begins gathering information as he walks through the town.

He seemed to get a few good pieces of info from the people he met and he even managed to get a little sample of that miscellaneous bird from the old woman.

At least he was a little less hungry now.

‘So this world really is running low on magic.
That's really hard to think about...a world without magic…'

Regardless, I know what direction the capital's in so I'll just rest up and then get going early in the morning.’

As he's walking he notices a group of what seemed knights in armor.

It looked pretty light so looked like they were guardsmen from the capital, if that's the case then Damian needed to follow them.

He could get some useful info from them or better yet maybe even a ride straight to the capital.

Damian follows after them and after a bit of sneaking he finally gets a look at what was going on.

"You're not getting away this time, you Exceed trash! We're taking you in, in the name of King Faust!” says the leading guard.

The three of them had cornered a bipedal cat.

It was just like Happy and Carla, only with light brown messy fur.

‘What are they gonna do with it?’

The guard on the right begins to walk up to the cat, but suddenly the cat yells out.

“N-no! I'm not afraid of you! I'm not! I'm strong! If you come any closer I'll- I'll hurt you!” By the sound of it, it was a girl and as every word came out her body did nothing but tremble.

But the look she was giving them, she didn't look scared.

She looked sad…

"Whatever, just grab the thing and let's report to the captain, maybe we'll get rewarded!” the left guard says prompting the right guard to reach out towards her.

“No...stop…” She says dejectedly awaiting her inevitable fate.

But Damian had seen enough.

“Hey!”

The three guards turn away from the cat towards where the sound come from, only to see no one in front of them.

“What was- GAH!!!”
