Chapter 5

Voyage for the sea maiden

The journey to dahlia had just begun, and a testing one it will be. Gray has been riding the train for hours, sitting there waiting in agony. The silence was close to unbearable. Luckily, that's exactly when a waiter with a cart stopped by.

"Beverages?" He brought the cart inside.

"Vodka on the rocks." Gray set the money down and leaned back. The waiter set two shots in front of the other then sat down across from the sulking man. Gray gave him a confused look and downed a shot,he winced at the harsh liquid running down his throat but reveled in the warm feeling it set in his chest.

"What's troubling you?" The younger man asked and cleaned a cup while leaning forward.

"A girl." He gazed out the window to the ocean and downed the second shot, hoping the alcohol would dull the pain.

"What did you do?"

"I failed to protect her and now she's gone,kidnapped."

"I'm sure she's a powerful enough water Mage to get herself out of trouble..." The waiter said and leaned back into the seat.

"She's too naive and trusting, you know...you look remarkably similar to her." Gray commented on the boys appearance.

"Do you have any idea to where she might be?" The waiter intently listened for anything but all he got was a wrinkled letter.

"Ah I see..." He read over the letter then glanced at the picture.

"Thomas!" The young waiter called in his pinkette friend.

"Do you know who these people are?" He handed the taller boy the picture and he nodded.

"That's my twin sister Cupid,Sam,princess juvia and lily." The younger man hands him the letter next and he reads it quickly.

"Well, juvia and her family moved. I used to live on that island..." His look darkened with sadness.

"Where is it?" Gray asked, filled with swelling hope. Thomas handed him a map and told him the name of the island. After that, the two waiters left and went back to the breakroom. It took gray a few minutes to realize something. He froze. He hadn't told the waiter that juvia was a water Mage...
