* THE NEXT DAY *

THIRD POV
Natsu groans as he groggily opens his eyes. He yawns and stretches himself. Realizing something, he hurriedly touches his head to feel no horns. He looked back and no wings either.

He lets out a sigh of relief as he stands up and stretch one more time. He then kneeled down near the river as he washes his face.

-

"Morning Natsu..." Happy yawns as he stretches his paws. "Mn..." Zerton rubs his eyes. "You guys are awake. I caught foods" Natsu says as he sets the foods and roasts it.

"Morning..." Zerton says as he wakes himself up. "Wake up guys, we still have a long long way to go" Natsu says.

-

"So... How far are we from Zeref?" Natsu asks, Zerton finishing his food. "He's from a place called Alvarez. When I tried to wander there, he didn't permit me as so. And guess what, he's the Emperor" Zerton exclaims.

"Emperor?? Alava???" Natsu tilts his head in confusion. "Alvarez, and yes, he really is the Emperor there. He even has his own guards" Zerton explains.

"Woah.. who knew he was living that way" Natsu says in amazement. "Yes. Though its a shame I can't go in" Zerton sighs. "Don't worry, when we get there, I'll talk to him" Natsu says.

"Really?? You'll really let me go in???" Zerton says, his eyes sparkling. "You bet I do!" Natsu grins. "Thank you so much kind sir!!!" Zerton shakes his hand.

"We should probably head out then" Natsu says as the duo nods. Continuing their journey, they head east.

* FAIRY TAIL *

"Gray... stop this foolishness and talk to us" Erza says, Gray staying silent. "No! Zeref, the one I hate is the brother of my own friend!!" Gray retorts.

"So then stop this foolishness and help us find Natsu and Happy!" Erza sighs. "No, I need some time alone" Gray says, standing up and leaving the guild.

"Gray..." Lucy says as Erza sighs. "We should give him some space Erza.." Lucy says as Erza nods. All of them needs some time alone and to think in peace.

* BACK TO NATSU & COMPANY *

"Hey guys, I see a nearby town!" Natsu says as they head towards the town. "We should buy foods here" Zerton says as Natsu and Happy look away, averting their eyes.

"What's wrong??" Zerton asks. "Uuhhh....." the duo still continues averting their eyes. "We don't have any money with us" Natsu rubs the back of his head.

Zerton sighs in defeat. "Then you guys are lucky to have met me. I'll treat you guys for now" Zerton says as Natsu and Happy slyly smile at him.

"Our savior!!!"
