The Dragon's Soul

Chapter 5

TIS THE SEASON TO BE HAPPY (Aye!)

NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NATSU

(dude... Christmas is LOOOONG over...) I don't care haha! I was writing this chapter in Christmas Eve (midnight), feeling so... blissful. And POOF. A bunch of inspirations boomed into my mind, so I couldn't resist and started spamming words into the next two chapters haha. Btw, my Christmas present(I'm still young at heart) is Happy's pop figure! :3 :3 :3

Oh yeah. Currently, the poll is doing well. I haven't decided on the ships yet. Nalu is way too common... Nali...um...maybe...Naza might make it up there, Nami too. Nawen's possibility will depend on you haha.

I DO NOT OWN FAIRY TAIL. IF I DID... HELL WITH BREAK LOSE MUAHAHAHA

"Welcome back...Oh my gosh..."

Lucy, Gray, Lisanna, Wendy and Romeo trotted into the guild with small cuts and bruises scattered around their body. Gray was helping Lucy while Wendy was carried by Lisanna. Mirajane immediately stopped cleaning the plates and rushed towards them and their injuries as if it was a big deal.

"Eh...Mira-san, it's only cuts and bruises..." Wendy choked out before a string of coughs ran out of her mouth. Lucy limped towards the bar, with Gray holding her shoulders as support. Mirajane helped Wendy to the bar as Romeo and Lisanna decided to go home.

"Gray, what happened? Wasn't it just a few dark mages?"

"Mira, it wasn't just a few, it was many. Twenty dark mages to defeat, when each of their power could rival us!" Gray grumbled as he sat on a chair by the bar, his legs crossed. "We were pretty lucky to return without dying... "

Mirajane raised an eyebrow. "How did you manage to escape? Did you guys complete the job?"

"Eh..." Gray seemed a little troubled answering the question.

"Mira-san, we didn't escape. Someone helped us defeat them... so I couldn't say we completed the job, though... but we did get the reward..." The Sky Maiden explained. "We were separated when battling. When Gray, Romeo and I have cleared our side, we were out of magic power. Lisanna and Lucy were also out too, but the dark mages that were attacking the duo didn't stop. Luckily, someone came to help us. He even sent the dark mages to the magic council, got the rewards from the council, and return to us before we could reach Lucy-san and Lisanna-san. He...He had an incredible speed."

Mirajane looked surprised. She opened her mouth to prepare for another question, but was stopped by the Master's appearance.

"How did your savior look like?" Makarov asked as they walked towards them and sat on the table at the bar, his hands holding a tankard of beer.

Wendy and Lucy looked at each other. "He... He had a cloak on... so... "

Makarov raised an eyebrow. "Is it a black cloak? Was he barefoot?"

Wendy and Lucy immediately nodded their heads. "But Master, how did you know?"

Makarov took a sip of his beer and sighed. "He has been reported all over Fiore for his destruction. Although he had destroyed so many buildings, it seemed he neither got a fine, nor had any grudge with the council. Are you sure you met him, alone?"

"Yes master"

"Hum. All of the reports had stated that he was the leader of a trio. None of them said he went alone. Oh and some even said he was in a team of five..."The tiny man closed his eyes. "A man cloak of the darkest night. A girl cloak of the deepest sea. A lad cloak of purple. The other two had brownish-yellow and yellowish-orange cloak respectively. The interesting thing was that all five of them had a dragon-like symbol behind their back, with a heart the color of their cloak in the middle... Gray. Calm down."
