I've decided to take a rest at Kunugi Train Station. I ran all the way there instead of taking the train because of my severe motion sickness, I don't understand when I got this horrible problem but its mine now and I have to live with it.

I sit down on a bench and just looking at the train go by makes my head spin. I look up to the sounds of arguing as I see a few people trying to drag a tall dark haired guy onto the train. He has small circular piercings instead of eyebrows and id guess he's in his twenties.

I watch him struggle a bit before the people trying to get him just get on the train and leave him behind. I'm thinking they are coming back for him later because he sits on a nearby bench and just watches the train leave. He looks a little disappointed but I can tell he's relieved to not be on the train.

Then to my surprise he pulls out a box of nuts and bolts and scoops up a handful and tosses them in his mouth! I turn away to avoid him seeing my dumbstruck expression and quietly contemplate that I just witnessed. I get curious and wiggle a nail out of the bench im sitting on and melt it with fire in my hands.

"Fire Dragon Iron Fist" I say as my hand is surrounded with fire. The nail melts as I pour the molten metal in my mouth. It's a strange flavor, a lot like blood. I still have some of it in my hand as I fiddle with it as it starts to cool down.

I look up to see the dark haired guy from before standing over me.

"So your a wizard" he says as his dark oxblood red eyes stare right at me.

"Yah it's not like i'm hiding it" I snipe back.

"Battle me"

"What why"

"Your a dragon slayer and I don't want you thinking your stronger than me"

"Alright let's go over there" I say angrily as I point to a large dry grassy area.

"Get to your side" he says while pointing to an area with less tall dry grass.

A random person volunteers to start the battle. After getting the basic information needed she starts the battle.

"Gajeel Redfox of Phantom Lord guild VS. Guildless wizard Thorn!" They barely finish their sentence before we lunge at each other with any attack we have.

"IRON DRAGON BREATH!" he says as shards of metal erupt from his mouth.

"FIRE BODY!" fire surrounds me until its the only thing left.

*fire body, a spell that changed the users body into pure fire. For example it can be used before being hit with an arrow or any projectile and it will go right through the fire. Unless it gets burned before it even gets through them.*

As Gajeel's spell goes right through me I cast another spell.

"Sword of the Fire Dragon!" I say as the fire that is my right hand changes shape. I slowly regret that decision as Gajeel bowls into me and knocks me into a nearby stream. My ears are filled with very loud sizzling as the fire disappears.

"IRON DRAGON SWORD" I hear him yell above me as the chainsaw like blade comes crashing down on top of me. I yelp and attempt to get out of the way of the spinning blade but it crashes down into my back.

Gajeel lifts the sword again in a position as if to bring it down again.

"W-wings of the S-sky Dragon" I manage to get out of my mouth as dragon wings erupt from my back knocking Gajeel off his feet.

"AHH WHAT THE CRAP!?" He yells as he plunges face first into a marshy part of the stream. I'm too weak to fly so I decide to use the wings to make my jumping distance and height higher.

"I climb out of the stream while making sure to step on Gajeel on the way out.

"YOUM GUMMA BIE FHORM!" Gajeel yells into the dirt as I step on him.

"Yah sure" I say as I pull a heavy piece of wood out of the ground. I smirk as I drop the log chunk on the back of his head. His muffled shouts stop as the log collides into him. I can't leave him in the mud so I drag him out of the stream and back to the train station.

After a while of half carrying half dragging him to the train station I dump him onto a bench and hope his "friends" or guildmates don't come any time soon. I hear a train coming but when I look up I see a train like I thought but its whats on top of the train that's confusing me. A sick looking pink haired guy is holding on to the top of the train for dear life as another guy is beating him with wind magic. There isn't much I can see because of how fast the train is going. I just watch as the train goes by when someone (extremely weakly) tries to slap me. I catch Gajeel's wrist and twist it behind his back.

After a bit of negotiating I convince him to stop trying to attack me I attempt to start up a conversation.

"So the announcer said you were from Phantom Lord guild, whats a guild?"

"You seriously don't know what a guild is?"

"Nope"

"Ok so let me explain, a guild is a big group of wizards who can sign up for quests to earn money. A guild is also a way to meet new people and get more experienced as a wizard."

"Cool, how do you join a guild?"

"It depends on the guild but the guild master has to accept you into the guild."

"How many guilds are there?"

"Quite a few I don't feel like counting"

"Well aren't you helpful"

"You just knocked me out with a piece of wood!"

"You hit me in the back with a spiky sword!"

"You deserved it!"

"You forced me to fight you!"

After that we just sat there glaring at each other.

"Gajeel get your butt over here!" One of the people from before yell as they step out of the train.

"Finally" Gajeel and I say at the same time.

"Shoo" I say as I shove him away.
