THE DRAGON'S FURY

SUSPICIOUS

THIRD POV
"He's getting more and more suspicious" Gajeel whispered. "Let's have him around us for a while" Natsu says as Gajeel nods. Returning back to the camp, there stood Zerton giving Lily and Happy the fruits he picked up not just long ago.

"Oh hey guys! You're back" Zerton greets. "You're early" Gajeel casually states. "Of course I am!" Zerton answers. They then ate dinner and head to sleep. To have enough energy for their journey tomorrow.

* THE NEXT DAY *

Natsu groans as he groggily opens his eyes. He yawns as he stretches. "Morning Natsu!" Happy greets as he greets him back. "Perfect timing, we were about to wake you up for breakfast" Zerton says as Natsu wobbly stands up.

"The sky sure is clear today" Natsu hummed, looking at the clear blue sky. "Not to mention, we are also near Alvarez!" Zerton cheerfully states.

"Really!? Awesome!!!" Natsu shouts in glee, motioning the others to hurry up. "Aye sir!" Happy rejoices with Natsu. "No need to get excited. We still have the main problem" Zerton warns.

"No problem" Natsu grins. "What's this main problem??" Gajeel asks. "The guards of Alvarez doesn't allow mages to enter, I'm just a mere wanderer yet they didn't let me in" Zerton shrugs.

"But we're mages, how are we supposed to enter??" Lily asks. "I don't know, but he said he has a plan" Zerton says pointing at Natsu, who's humming on his way.

"That guy?? a plan?? Are you sure??" Gajeel raises an eyebrow, unsure. "Hey! I have a plan in mind!!" Natsu suddenly shouts. "Do you even have a brain?!?!" Gajeel rants.

"Says the brainless ugly bastard!!!". "Oh yea you damn naggy bastard!!!". "Shut up nosy idiot!!". "Wanna fight old hag!?!". "I'm on you clanky menacing steel clown!!!". "I sure wanna take you on you stinky fire girly hair!!!".

"And here I thought we were having peace for once..." Lily sighs. "Aye sir!" Happy beams. "It sure is lively though" Zerton grins.

After walking for what seemed like hundred miles, they stumbled upon a town, with ship ports. "Woah!! Happy, it's a big town!!" Natsu cheerfully states, mesmerized by the big ships and lively town.

"It's like Magnolia" Gajeel says, looking around. "Ahem. Everyone!! Welcome to Traihlern Town!!" Zerton introduces. "Woah!! Awesome!!!" Natsu and Happy say in sync, still mesmerized by how lively and fun the town is.

"So how are we going to go to Alvar??" Natsu asks. "By taking a ship of course" Zerton answers. "Sh-ship??" Natsu asks, wanting to puke on the thought of riding his worst enemy.

"Yes, is something wrong with that??" Zerton asks. "Absolutely..." Gajeel agrees, looking away. "What's wrong with these two??" Zerton raises an eyebrow.

"They can't handle transportations" Lily answers. "Oh... Really?? Too bad I don't have the pill for that. We can buy it though" Zerton states, Natsu and Gajeel staring at him with eyes of expectation.
