Seven Deadly Sins

Chapter | Three

03| MOUNT BEAUMONT 

Time was of the essences for every member in the Fairy Tail Guild, including the two Sabertooth members and exceeds that came along with them. After the realization of the more possible sacrifice of the seven missing mages, including Lucy and Sting, everyone was all hands on deck to try to locate them.

Everything was speculations, ideas Levy and Freed tossed back an forth with one another about where exactly the seven could be. Erza was helping the two as well, reading the files to understand exactly where everyone was going and why they were in the particular spot they had been when taken.

It was already know to them about Lucy being given a false hope of finding Aquarius's key, leading her to embark on a journey to locate the siren's key that was so dear to her. It was more than likely Lucy was lead out there, that she was targeted specifically like the other six. Erza knew that meant someone was watching Lucy, and they gotten her when she was at her weakest and defenseless. 

According to Rouge and Yukino, Sting had gone on a mission that called for him specifically. Yukino admitted something felt off about the whole mission, but Sting had reassured her by saying that nothing was weird about him being asked for specifically. It hadn't been the first time, and since Fairy Tail had been disbanded and their members scattered, well it brought more clients and jobs to Sabertooth and certain members. In his wake, Sting asked Rouge to watch over the guild, but now matters shifted.

Sabrina Moore went missing around the same time as Lucy. Well, the more Erza read on each file she noticed they all went missing around the same time or at least were reported missing. That alone caused red flags, that each person was sought out with a obvious planned vendetta. In Sabrina's file, she went missing traveling to a charity event for a church in the upper north area of Fiore. The church wasn't named specifically, which should have caused Sabrina to be concerned. Yet some people were too trusting.

Rafael was the missing man who actually did raise alert within the Kingdom, because unlike the others chasing a lead or being sought out, he was attending a political meeting concerning laws for Fiore. In his file it was named that he was meeting with another political member who wished not to be named for a business deal, and honoring the request Rafael went missing during that dinner. That told Erza that these people who took the seven had possible high places in authority and were dirty members of society.

They cheated the system for their own gain.

Nadia Silva actually lived where she went missing from. Her file detailed that she liked being alone in her home, away from the city and people. She enjoyed nature and animals most, keeping to herself but welcomed anyone into her life with open arms, including magazines who wanted to interview the kind woman for helping where ever she could. The true definition of naive. The file on Nadia showed that there was a struggle in the home, even some spots of blood. Yet not a trace of Nadia or her kidnapper was left behind besides the mess.

Adrian Vandom had been in the town of Ashton, a few towns away from Clovis where Lucy had been taken. He had been asked to come to solve a curse on a client, and after checking in on the client named via lacrima Erza had learned the job was legit as well.  Yet the client admitted it was a weird curse that happened randomly one night and how someone in town had mentioned Adrian. Adrian had been watched and taken advantage of, in Erza's opinion. Purposely drawn out on a legit job that had been staged.

Killian Kiryu was the only unknown. They knew he went missing around Evermore, yet the reasoning as to why he was even there was unclear. To Erza and anyone else who read his file, there was no reason for this man to be where he was at. Not when in his hometown of Hargeon he had a scheduled AAA group meeting. It was possible the man relapsed himself, but that was wrong wishful thinking.
