Fairy Tail - Second Generation Wizards

Finding Neva: Part I

The snow fell from the sky. I shivered. If I had known it was going to be cold like this, I would have worn something with sleeves. My hands rubbed my shoulders as I attempted to warm myself up. "A-are we almost to Naked Mummy?" I asked Fay. She didn't make any expression, she just simply grunted.

Storm looked at the blonde. "You do know where it is, right?" He was lucky. He was wearing a jacket, and looked as warm as he could possibly be.

Fay glared at him. "I would, if you would shut up! I'm trying to think!" She pressed her fingers against her temples and massaged her forehead. I was a bit confused about what she was doing. She used dark fairy magic, but she was acting as if she had the Sight or something.

"I got it!" She said, pulling her cardigan close to her. "Naked Mummy is located somewhere outside of Magnolia, I believe. It's in a desolate place somewhere in the desert. I think my mum said it's in an abandoned town?"

"How'd you figure that out?" Celia asked.

Fay winked, tapping the side of her head. "I've got my secrets."

I shivered. I felt an arm wrap around me, and saw Storm. Blushing fiercely, I tried to speak. "Y-you don't ha-have to do this if you don't w-want to..." I stuttered. Damn it, I was the worst at speaking.

"It's okay," Storm smirked. "You're cold."

That made me feel even more awkward, but I enjoyed the comfort he provided. My blush had probably gone away after a couple of minutes, and as we walked I snuggled close to Storm.

"Sorry I can't fly you there," Celia apologized. "I don't have that kind of power yet."

"It's fine." I smiled.

We walked along, and the snowfall was beginning to cease a little. Fay clapped her hands in delight. "I see the city, I think... there are some small buildings a little further..." She mumbled. "Hold on... wait, it's straight ahead of us! In... .5 miles."

"You sound like you're speaking off a map," Storm and I snickered.

Fay didn't answer, just looked straight ahead. "We're here."

I'd heard stories of Naked Mummy. It was an idiotic guild that specialized in Gun Magic -- note that that one isn't very powerful, unless you're Bisca or Alzack -- and most of it's members resembled apes or monkeys. Usually the area it was in looked like a desolate desert, but in the snow it looked much less scary (though it wasn't even scary at all).

Fay stormed in through the front doors of the guild. She made a face when nobody even noticed her, the noise being drained out by the lispy chatter of Naked Mummy members. I giggled.

"Shut up!" Fay shouted, sounding a lot like Camilla. And indeed everyone did shut up, and as soon as they did, some member with an afro, dark skin and gold teeth stomped up to her.

"Hey!" The member whined, with a lisp and deep voice. "What are the Fairies doing in our guild?"

Storm took his arm from around me and stepped forward. "Where's my sister?" He hissed, ice crackling on his fingertips. The monkey-faced man laughed deeply.

Another monkey man waltzed up beside him. "We ain't seen any sisters 'round here. Eh, Zato?" He asked the afro monkey member, who nodded.

"Nay, Gato." They sounded as if they needed country accents with the way he was speaking. It was annoying, fast. The newer monkey man, one with bright jade hair and rounded ears named Gato, stood face-to-face with Storm.

"I don't believe you," Storm said angrily, poking Gato straight in the chest. A small flower-shaped formation of ice bloomed, and Gato flicked it off. "You've seen her. You have Neva. I know it."

"Wha she look like?" Zato asked, sounding drowsy.

Fay smiled, attempting to be fake polite. "Blue hair, fair skin... um, water mage. Seen her?" Storm nudged Fay, mouthing the words, 'Shut up' irritably.

"Oh yeah!" Zato said in realization, scratching his head. "That little girlie fought Saru a while ago. Didn't look good."

"Who's Saru?" Storm asked.

Zato's eyes went wide. "I've said too much," And with that, the monkey man ran away, Gato following obediently behind him.

"Wow, I said. "These guys are idiots. How are we going to even find Neva? She could be anyw--"

"Found her,"

I spun around to face Fay, who had blurted out, but she was already confidently walking towards the back of the guild. She was going for a small room that had a locked door. "Storm!" She said much too loudly. "I need you!" Storm walked over to where she was standing, and put his hands on his hips impatiently. He looked like Lucy.

"I need you to freeze the lo--" Fay stopped talking as a shadow overlapped hers, three times the skinny little girl's size. She turned around, facing a monkey faced man with a huge ginger beard and ladder shades. He stared down at us, expressionless.

"Nobody goes through the door."
