The Dragon's Soul

Chapter 6

"Guys! Let's compete in the Grand Magic Games!"

Silence filled the guild, before questions buzzed among the guild, well, I could actually sort them out into two main categories. One group, which was actually the majority, were questioning about the grand magic games (and I could actually hear someone asking if it was a royal board game). The other group were gasping at me as if I were some kind of monster full of magical powers. Of course, no one knew what made me say that, and I bet my reasons won't be of much help either.

"Lisanna... Who told you about Grand Magic Games?"

"Eh... " Lisanna scratched her head while squeezing her eyes, recalling every detail of the conversation between her and Inferno. "Well... I met this guy called Inferno, and believe it or not, he's actually the person that saved us from the bandits."

"Was he alone?"

"Eh... No, master. He was with two more allies at first, but they teleported quickly...don't ask me why...haha."

Lisanna paused a little, glancing around, before realising she hasn't finished her story and stuttered on.

"A... And then... He returned me Natsu's scarf and told me he was a past friend of Natsu's."
Lucy's eyes glinted with tears at the word "Natsu". She blinked a few times and walked slowly towards Lisanna, her mouth opening and closing, forming a barely audible sentence, "Y... You have Natsu's scarf....t...thank g...goodness"

The white haired mage smiled and sighed into her small backpack, and brought out the familiar scaley scarf that brought many memories to the fellow members of the guild. Lucy stared teary-eyed at the scarf, as if not wanting to miss a single detail of the beloved muffler. She continued until a cough was heard, and the celestial mage dipped her head down.

"Lucy..." Said mage looked up, tears still gathering in her eyes. "I wanted you to know... P...please, take care of this scarf!"

"..."

Lucy's eyes widened as tears funnily bust out of her eyes and trickled down her cheeks. She quickly wiped her tears away with her arm and received the dragon slayer's prized possession. With sobs and hiccups between, lucy mumbled out:

"B...but, W... Why *hic* didn't you keep it for yourself...... I...i mean...*hic* why d... Did you trust me with T...This...i... I..."

"Shuuushh" Lisanna placed a finger on Lucy's lips and smiled, "I never had feelings for Natsu. He's my boyfriend."

Lucy blinked at Lisanna and tilted her head sideways.

"Oh. I mean as in BOY friend. He just has a brotherly aroma to me. But for you..." Lisanna patted on the blonde's shoulders "you are special to him. I could sense it."

Lucy opened her mouth to retort, but closed her mouth and glanced to the side, laughed slight tint of pink seen on her cheeks, and right after that, she chuckled.

"pfffhaha! Thanks, Lisanna!" Lucy tried stifling her laugh while whispering in the ears of a confused Lisanna.

"Omfg HAHAHA Lucy! HAHA!" The Two burst into laughter.

The rest of the guild merely stared at them, endless questions that urged to be answered flooded in their mind, thus sprouting out in unison, they yelled:

"WHAT??!??"

Lisanna laughed and placed her hands behind her head. "That's our secret."

"Um, can you at least answer how did you know about the Grand Magic Games?" Alzack called out awkwardly.

"Eh I didn't mention about it?"
