THE DRAGON'S FURY

RYO

THIRD POV
"Pill for that... You say??" the duo ask in sync, Zerton about to run away but was stopped from the two. "Uhm... G-guys?? please spare my life..." Zerton gulps, sweatdropping.

"Buy us this pill!!" the duo say as they have no intention of letting him go. "I don't have any money left!! And besides, don't you guys have money??" Zerton asks, looking at Gajeel and Lily.

"We actually used it for food" Lily answered. "What??? Just bear with it then!!!" Zerton says struggling. "Noooooooo!!!!!!! We should just swim instead!!!!"

"Damn it..." the duo scoffs. "It can't be helped" Zerton sighs. The gang is on their way to the ship. "And what's with these shaggy cloaks??" Gajeel asks, wanting to take off the cloak.

"It's to hide your identities as mages" Zerton answers. They finally arrived, Natsu and Gajeel still wanting pick the option of swimming.

"Ok we're set. Let's head in" Zerton says as he pushes the duo forward. "Damn it..." Natsu whines, Gajeel agreeing. "Just bear with it" Lily sighs. "Aye sir!"

"Easy for you to say!" Natsu whines. "You guys..." Lily says sighing once more. "Now now, let's focus on the great vast ocean shall we??" Zerton says as the ship suddenly started moving.

"Let's swim after all!!" Natsu shouts. "Count me in!!" Gajeel agrees, about to leave when Zerton grabbed their cloaks. "Stop being childlish you two" Zerton sighs.

"Nooooooo!!!!!"

"..."

Zerton and Lily couldn't help but be amazed of how quiet their background is. They turn around to see something unexpected. On the floor was the duo lying down, their souls floating on air.

"I kind of pity these guys" Zerton gulps, Lily nodding in agreement. "Aye sir!" Happy beams. "Hey guys! You guys are mages right?? " a guy asks from behind them.

"Not me, these two guys" Zerton says pointing at the burnt out duo on the floor. "Cool! Say, why are you guys headed to Alvarez??" he asks. "And who might you be??" Lily asks.

"Oh excuse me! My name is Ryo, a mage like you guys! Pleased to make your acquaintance" Ryo introduces. "I'm Zerton. The two here are sirs Natsu and Gajeel" Zerton introduces. "I'm Lily and this is Happy" Lily introduces after. "Aye sir!"

"Woah! Natsu Dragneel the salamander?? Awesome!! I get to meet the cool salamander in person!!" Ryo says cheerfully, hand shaking the burnt out Natsu.

"Hm? What's wrong with them??" Ryo asks. "They can't handle transportations" Zerton answers. "That's it?? Don't worry mr. Salamander and his friend! I have just the pill for you. Its the last two though" Ryo says, feeding the duo the pills.

Eating the pill, they regain their consciousness. "Hello there!" Ryo grins. Natsu and Gajeel staring at him for seconds, they immediately bow down in front of him.

"Thank you very much our saviour!!" the duo shout in sync. "Eh??" Ryo tilts his head.
"Don't exaggerate" Zerton says sighing.
