Chapter 22: - White Mist Town

As the morning sun hovered over the skies, the two beauties wearily made it to the town below after taking a quick bath in the nearby stream. The lack of sleep since last night's incident was evident from the bags under their eyes.

"Time to find out what's really happening" said Erza.

"Something to eat first would be nice....there's only so much I can handle at a time" countered Mira, the rumbling of her stomach answering what was her immediate worry.

"We should be able to find something to eat in the town"

The town itself, like they suspected contained only 19 houses, and one manor, which they naturally assumed was the place where the could find the one in charge of the town. As they walked past, they could see the windows of the houses slowly opening, whoever was inside certainly had an interest in the duo. Whether it be for good or bad, neither of the two could tell.

" An unpleasant aura hangs in the air" commented the red haired beauty.

"Indeed" agreed her ashen haired companion.

And so they walked on in silence through the soft, muddy path that lead all the way till the towering manor in front of them.

"Who goes there?" called a sentry posted at the entrance of the manor. Pretty old fashioned, thought Erza.

"We hail from Fairy Tail, we are here upon your request" replied Erza.

"All I can see are two lasses, one of whom doesn't even look suited for battle....you sure you aren' lost or somethin'?" asked the guard

*clang*

In an eye's blink, the red haired beauty disarmed the guard with a swift sword draw. It took a moment for him to realize that he'd lost his weapon.

"Wh..what the..?"

"Still think we're lost?" scoffed Erza.

The sentry could naught else but simply lead them inside in shock and silence. Mira offered an apologetic gesture towards the startled guard, and the two went inside.

The house itself was much smaller than their own guild halls, and that wasn't saying much. There was a creaky old staircase leading up to the second storey, a couple of windows by the far end covered by dusty curtains, two rooms each on each side and some furniture in the center. A middle aged man came walking over to the duo and offered a greeting. He then pointed them to take a seat.

"I take it you're here following our request?" he asked, his voice deep and rasp.

"Yes, we are S class mages from Fairy Tail, Erza Scarlet and Mirajane" replied the red head, pointing to herself and then to her ashen haired companion. "Looking at the request, it seems your village is in grave trouble, and you don't trust anyone to make it out successful"

"Aye, you're right. Our village, as you know, is isolated from the rest of the larger towns, making it an easy target for wagabonds and bandits to use as they see fit. Fortunately, seeing that we don't have much here, we're often left alone and people generally avoid coming here. Plus, the dense mist makes it really hard for people to actually make it all the way here. This also explains the reason why guilds have trouble helping us"
