The Multi-Maker Mage: A Fairy Tail Fanfiction

Chapter 5: Welcome to my Childhood

Gray knocked on the door to Lucy's apartment.

"Kyla, Can you get that, please? I think it's Gray with Alex," Lucy called from the other side of the door. The door opened to reveal Kyla in a pair of Lucy's pajama's

"Hey," Gray said to Kyla. Kyla opened the door farther to reveal Natsu and Happy sitting in Lucy's living room. Gray walked in and sat next to Happy on the couch, Shortly after, Lucy came out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her head. She looked at Gray then at Alex.

"Is everything alright, Gray?" She asked.

"Yeah. I was just wondering if you could lend Alex a couple of pairs of clothes cause she and I are going on a mission together." Gray explained. Gray used the excuse of a mission every year so Lucy thought nothing of it. Only Master Makarov and Mirajane knew where he went. Most of the time Gray went back to his old village to visit his friends. Most of them didn't know what happened many years ago. The Chief and Mistress were the only ones who knew. However, they preferred to keep it from the others. They thought if the other villagers were to find out they would believe it to be bad luck to the village and eventually the Pack. Gray thought he should visit this year since he hadn't gone last year. 

Eventually, Alex, had some clothes and Lucy had packed them into one of her suitcases. Gray motioned for Alex to come and Kyla started to follow. 

"Ky, could you stay with L, please? If I need anything I will call for you. 'Kay?" Alex said looking to Kyla.

"Of course, but promise me you will," Kyla said.

"I promise you. Thank you, Kyla." With that, they headed to the train station to leave for the Isvan region. 

When they arrived, Gray went to see the Pack leaders, while Alex went to explore. When Gray arrived at the chief's tent, he called out before entering, "Chief and Mistress of the Pack of the Others! It is I, Gray Fullbuster, I wish to speak with you." Shortly after, the Chief, Nickolas came through the tent flaps.

"Gray, My boy, is that you?" Nickolas asked in a gruff voice.

"Yes Nic, it's me and I brought a friend along. Don't worry, she's not going to compromise your location. I think we might want to talk inside." Gray said. They headed into the giant tent. 

"What is it my boy, that we must talk privately?" Nic asked.

"She knows about Deliora and Ur. She is Ur's niece and was her student. I never knew because she was taking lessons privately and she was Ur's oldest student. She's even older than Lyon. I wanted to bring her straight here but she wanted to look around after the long train ride." Gray explained. The look on Nic's face said it all. He was confused, excited and a little suspicious. Gray could understand why. He was under the assumption that Lyon and Gray were the only two of Ur's students.

"I apologize for just bringing her here and not getting in touch with you beforehand. It's just that I haven't been here in 2 years, and she's never seen where her aunt had left. I hope you can forgive me."

"Oh, of course, my boy. You are always welcome here. Along with any of your friends. As long as you don't sell us out," Nic said. By the time they had finished talking, the Mistress of the Pack had returned from her morning routines and was walking into the tent with Alex.

"Nic, I found this child laying in our field crying. She tells me her name is Alex, and she came with our Gray," Maryanne said. Then, she looked up to see Gray staying next to Nic. She then embraced Gray in a hug which he returned. Alex had to stifle a laugh. Gray simply looked away and blushed. He wasn't one for hugs so it looked a bit weird seeing him hugging someone. Once Maryanne let him go, he moved over to Alex.

"Maryanne, Mistress of the Pack of the Others, this is Alex, my friend and a new member of my guild, Fairy Tail. Alex this is Maryanne and Nickolas, they lead the Pack of the Others. They are the ones who inhabited my hometown after it was destroyed by Deliora," Gray introduced everyone and then got to catch up with Nic and Mary.
