Finding My Way - Fairy Tail

Arrival

Saxe's eyes widened in awe at the sight of the Fairy tail guild hall in all its glory. It was a tall, three story building, more like a two story building though, and it had small towers besides the exterior of the second floor. The third floor, which seemed to be more of a lookout turret, was circular and it had a cone-shaped top. There was also a pole with a flag that had Fairy Tail's guild mark on it, a symbol that reminded Saxe of a wing.

Eliana turned back to him from where her and Elpis stood at the front of it. She smiled at his face and he knew his expression must have been somewhat amusing as Elpis also had a slight smile on her face.

"Are you coming?" she asked, gesturing for him to hurry up and follow them.

Saxe quickly nodded before running forward to stand at her side as they opened the doors to the guild hall. It was fairly late in the night as they had been farther from Magnolia, the town that housed the Fairy Tail guild, than Eliana had expected. He wasn't expecting anyone to be in the guild hall but sure enough, once the doors were open, many loud voices assaulted his ears. He actually thought one of his eardrums pop from the level of voice that was coming from inside the guild. There were people, guild members, he guessed, of all ages and sizes. It seemed like every single one of them was talking to the other at once, and he wouldn't be surprised if that were the case. He could see many interesting people in the guild, who he hoped he might meet later, but there was one who stood out to him. She had red, scarlet hair and was wearing a full set of armor, despite being in the middle of a conversation with another person, who seemed to have stripped while they were talking with each other. Saxe's eyes widened at the two of them. "What kind of guild is this?" He asked himself, wondering mostly about the man who was almost naked in front of his entire guild, but it didn't seem like any of them cared, or even really took notice that he was naked.

Elpis saw him staring at the scarlet haired woman and the mostly naked man. "That's Gray and Erza. Gray uses ice-make magic, and don't worry about his state of dress, that's just a bad habit of his; stipping in public. He grew up training with close to no clothes on in the cold and that's probably where he picked it up from. Erza's actually a Requip mage and one of the strongest members of the guild. She's pretty famous for being able to requip her armor and weapons in the midst of a battle. You should've seen her in action, it's pretty magnificent. She's also an S-Class mage. You might actually want to talk to her, if you want to become a Requip mage, I mean. You might be able to learn a thing or two, Saxe-kun."

Elpis turned away from him and left him staring at the woman in armor even longer, his eyes lingering on her for quite some time. Eventually he turned his eyes away from her and both twins, Eliana and Elpis, led him to the bar counter, where a well-dressed woman with white hair was casually talking to a few people around the bar. When she noticed the trio approaching the bar counter, and her eyes landed on Saxe, she smiled at him. She looked over to Eliana, who stood at Saxe's right with Elpis on his left hand side, looking bored.

"Who's this little girl?" asked the white haired woman, referring to Saxe, still smiling.

His face flushed with embarrassment and he looked down at his shoes while Eliana grinned at him, smiling at his embarrassment. Elpis was also grinning at him, her blue eyes glittering with muted laughter.

"This here," said Eliana, ruffling Saxe's purple hair as his face reddened further, "is Saxe. He's a boy even though he looks like a girl. I find him to be really cute, actually. Me and Elpis-san found him while we were heading back to hand in the S-class job we finished. We figured he was kidnapped and was going to be sold to someone. We freed him and brought him back because, as you can see by looking at his neck, the people who kidnapped him welded a magic-nullifying collar on him. Elpis-san wasn't able to free him from the collar so we figured we might as well bring him back here and see if any of you guys could get it off, which I'm almost sure somebody like Natsu or Gajeel could easily burn or bite it off of Saxe's neck, though i wouldn't trust those two to leave you unscathed with their magic."
