The Relic Wizard

Chapter Two - The Sacred Relics

"Where... Am I..?" Ryuu asked as he woke in a room that seemed oddly familiar.
"Oh! You're awake! Hi! I haven't introduced myself properly..." Said the blonde girl from before.
She had long hair and a single ponytail on the right side of her head.
"I'm Lucy! Nice to meet ya!" She said cheerfully.
"I'm Ryuu..." He replied, shaking her hand.
"So what's up with the relic?" She asked.
"Wha?!? How do you know about relics?!?" He asked, startled at her question.
"I'm an item wizard... Specifically I'm a celestial wizard... I know what relics are because I've heard of them in tales and stories... So don't be suprised... I should be! You tried to use one and fainted! You shouldn't be yelling or you might get hurt or something!" She worried.
"Actually... I'm fine! I just needed a bit more to eat and I would've had enough magic energy to turn into my dragon mode I swear!" He replied.
"Dragon mode?" She said, confused at the term he had stated.
"Yes... I, when using my relic called 'Doragon', can use the power of a dragon to cast powerful spells." He explained.
"Seriously?!?" She yelled, startled at what he said, "You turn into a freaking dragon!?! You'll kill us all then eat us!"
"Wait! Listen! Look... I only get the power to use the ancient dragon spells... That's it... I'm not a dragon okay?" He explained.
"Oh... Got it! So when can you show us?" She asked.
"If I get enough magic energy by eating food or something like that it'll work! I know it will!" He explained.
"I see... So... Uh... Not to insult you but earlier Mirajane and Natsu said you were super annoying and energetic... Natsu was the one who said annoying... Mirajane is barely ever mad... But seriously... You're so calm right now..." She explained.
"Oh... That's because now I've eaten something... Before Mirajane let me eat Natsu's rice balls I hadn't eaten for eight days or something... I grew up alone in ruins since I was seven or so... I was beside a lake and an orchard so I had plenty of food and the ruins helped me make fire with the coals and other ores inside there made weapons with the fire... But I only used the weapons for food... But back to the present... I just walked here for about ten miles and then ate food... Not I'm not an annoying idiot!" He explained.
"Hahaha... I see... So uh... Wait a sec... TEN MILES!?! ARE YOU INSANE!?!" She yelled furiously, "YOU COULDVE DIED OUT THERE JUST TO COME TO THIS GUILD YOU DUMBASS!!!"
"Maybe... But I have a strong flame of courage in my heart so I survived... And I'm hungry!" He said as his belly grumbled, "Know where I can buy some food?"
"Uh yeah... Mirajane is downstairs... Just go to that bar she got the rice balls from and then use this money..." She explained, then handing Ryuu money, "To buy something to eat!"
"Are you sure?" Ryuu asked.
"I'm sure!" She replied.
"Cool! You're the best Lucy!" He said, then hugging her.
She squeeled in a high pitch.
"What the? What did you just do to me?!?" She yelled furiously.
"I gave you a hug... You're my friend... I am very sorry if that's not nice..." He replied.
"Why did you hug me..?" She asked, still annoyed at him.
"Well... I don't know how to treat proper friends... I've never had one... And if I did I would have forgotten... I am eighteen so it's been eleven years since my parents forgot me at the ruins..." He explained.
"Oh... Right... Wait... Your parents forgot you? That's impossible! That's unforgivable! What terrible parents!" She said furiously.
"It was my fault... I was being a bad child so mum said I need to have a 'time out' so I went into the ruins and got lost... They couldn't find me so they left the ruins without me to search for me... They probably think I'm dead..." He explained.
"You... Poor thing..." She replied, getting tears in her eyes.
"I thought... Maybe if I was in such a famous guild... Maybe mom and dad would see how far I've come in my magic..." He said proudly.
"Well... You could be kicked out of you don't show your skills soon enough but... I think you just need to get your energy up and show us what you've got!" She said, encouraging Ryuu.
"You know what? Yeah! My relic is special!" He said.
"Oh right! How many relics are there? I was wanting to ask you that if you knew..." She asked.
"I only know of the one I have but there are surely a lot more... It's just that I searched the ruins for more but this one is the only one I found..." He explained.
"I see... Well... Good luck! I'm excited to see your performance!" She stated cheerfully.
"Thanks! I'll cya later when I'm full!" He replied.
Ryuu ran downstairs from the dorm rooms to the bar.
"Hey Mirajane! Can I have a whole bunch of food?" He asked, handing her the money.
"..." She looked in the bag, seeing the five coins in it and sighing, "Are you aware of this being fifty jewel?"
"What is jewel?" He asked.
Mirajane sighed then spoke.
"It's the currency used throughout Fiore..." She explained.
"Oh... Okay then... Why do you keep exhaling deeply?" He asked.
"Cause it shows I'm annoyed..." She said.
"Oh right... I'm very sorry for being annoying earlier... Seriously... It's just because I had walked for like ten miles to get here with no food for practically eight days!" He explained.
"Oh really? Well then... Hunger was messing with your brain... You should've packed food..." She said.
Seriously? No shit Sherlock... He thought angrily.
"I couldn't pack thinks because I had nothing to pack it in!" He replied.
"Why is that?" She asked.
Ryuu explained his story to Mirajane. She was very moved. So moved in fact, that she burst into tears.
"Now do you understand?" Ryuu asked.
"I see... I'm sorry for being rude... That must be very tough to handle..." Mirajane said.
"Yes... It was... But I just need to talk to Natsu now... And eat... So can I have food please? An apple would be enough...
"Have this fruit salad... And keep the money... Guild members get free food... Geez..." She stated.
"Oh boy! Really? Can I have more?!?" He asked anxiously.
"Uh... Okay then... Here... A slice of cake... Have a nice snack!" She said.
"Yep! Sure will!" He said, running over to where Natsu was.
Natsu was noticeably annoyed but the sight of Ryuu.
"What do you want..?" He asked.
"I want to apologize... I was only crazy and annoying because I was starving to death... Before eating those rice balls, and again I'm sorry, I hadn't eaten for eight days or so..." Ryuu explained.
"Really?!? How are you alive?!?" Natsu asked, startled.
"Just willed it out... But... I'm very sorry..." He said.
"Dude it's fine... Just as long as you're not annoying like earlier, which you aren't doing now, I won't get angry... Okay?" Natsu asked.
"Okay then! Got it!" He replied cheerfully.
"Let's start fresh... I'm Natsu! Or some people call me 'The Salamander'!" Natsu stated.
"I'm Ryuu! Nice to meet ya!" He replied.
(And Then...)
"Hey guys!" Ryuu shouted across the guild hall.
"Huh?" Mumbled a short old man in Orange and blue clothes.
"You wanted to see me use my relic right?" He asked when everyone was looking.
"Yes... That is what I said..." Said Erza, coming towards me from the croud.
"Then I'll do it right this time..." He said.
"No! Don't hurt yourself again! You'll feint again! Stop!" Mirajane shouted, running up to Ryuu.
Ezra held her back.
"Don't stop him. He wants to be accepted. I trust he will impress us. He seems more confident than before by a large amount so don't interfere." Erza said.
"Relic Gate... Open!" He yelled.
Purple magic started to swirl around him. Then it suddenly drained into him, turning his eyes neon-purple. They glew brightly. Then his eyes turned back to normal accept the rings around his pupils were dark purple instead of the light brown they were when he wasn't using the relic.
"What the heck?!?" Grey shouted, coming to see what Ryuu was doing.
"Ready to see my power?" Ryuu asked.
"Go ahead." Erza said, stepping forward, "Take your best shot."
"I'm sorry but I don't hurt girls unless they are my enemies." He said.
Erza ran towards him and punched him across the face with extreme force. Blood came from Ryuu's mouth.
"I am now your enemy until you prove you are worthy of joining Fairy Tail. Understood?" She asked.
"Oh... You're going to pay for that..." He said, wiping the blood and spit from the hit off of his face.
"Requip!" Erza said, then changing her armour to look like a beautiful knight.
"Dragon Fist!" He yelled, throwing a punch at Erza that flared with dark purple magic.
Erza dodged it then changed her sword to dual blades.
"How dare you ask to joint Fairy Tail with this excuse for magic..." She said, giving an evil glare at Ryuu.
"Dude! Get out of there! She'll rip your head off if you don't apologize and surrender! Get out of here!" Natsu yelled from the crowd.
"W- What... D- Did you... CALL MY MAGIC!?!" He yelled furiously.
"Take this seriously you fool! You'll never joi-" Erza stopped.
Everyone was shocked. Erza was laying on the ground, she was as shocked as everyone else.
"You... Hit me..." She said, "But how..?"
"Fights aren't for talking... They're for beating up... Talking can lower your guard..." Ryuu said with his face to the ground, then looking to her with a grin, "Now I'm going to kick your ass!"
Erza got up as Ryuu ran towards her and ran at him, holding her magic sword.
"Take this you bastard!" She yelled, throwing her sword.
"Dragon Bullet!" Ryuu yelled as he ran towards her.
Then something got into Erza and Ryuu's head. They got too close to attack. They were face to face until.
"Erza!?!" Natsu shouted.
"Oww... My head..." Erza groaned.
"Ugh... Why am I seeing stars..?" Ryuu asked, rubbing his forehead.
"You know what..? Just join the guild... I don't give a crap..." She said.
"Really..? Oww..." He asked, groaning.
"Yeah... You're strong..." She replied.
"Am I?" He asked, completely forgetting his painful head.
"Well yeah... For a novice... I'm suprised you even landed a hit, let alone punch me so hard..." She said, smiling at him and forgetting her painful head aswell.
"Well I wouldn't say I hit you too hard I mean I wasn't that good..." Ryuu said, flattered at her 'kind' words.
"I'd be hap-... I mean... I'd let you train with me for one hundred jewel or something..." She stated, then getting red.
"Erza's got a crush!" Happy said, annoying Erza just a bit too much.
"I DO NOT HAVE FEELINGS FOR THIS INCOMPETENT FOOL YOU HEAR ME? I WILL SLICE YOUR HEAD OFF, GUT YOU THEN COOK YOU ON A BARBECUE!!!" Erza yelled furiously, then chasing after the blue cat.
"Whoa! She's a monster!" Ryuu said.
"Huh?" Erza stopped, looking back at Ryuu, "B- But... *whimper*"
Erza ran out of the guild hall, throwing her sword on the ground.
"Was she... Crying?" Ryuu asked.
"Why did she cry this time? She gets it all the time from us..." Grey said.
"I'm going to follow her! And I'm going to take this too!" He said, grabbing a muffin and an apple from the bar and then running out of the door.
"What the hell just happened..?" Asked Grey, looking at the open door.
"Here's a recap... Erza's all like 'fight meh!' but then Ryuu is just like 'I don't fight girls...' Then Erza bitch slaps some sense into Ryuu and then the two run into each other... Then she got mad at happy for saying she liked Ryuu and then he called her a monster and now the two are running to an unknown location..." Explained Cara.
