Chapter 18

Leaving the shop quickly, Aidan grabbed Wendy and both went on the next flight to Magnolia. After purchasing tickets and showing them to the conductor, both made themselves comfortable. Then the young sorceress finally broke down and asked:

- Brother, where did you go?

- Well ... - Aidan smiled and ruffled her hair: - Just dropped in to visit a kind old man.

Wendy narrowed his eyes suspiciously.

- True?

- ABOUT! We seem to have gone, - the guy did not have time to translate the topic, when Wendy suddenly grimaced and fell on her side: - Oh ... What is this ... is ...

The girl turned blue and covered her mouth with her hand. As the train began to pick up speed, it only got worse. Aidan sat down and laid the girl's head on his lap and stroked it carefully:

- You feel sick, nothing, have to be patient.

`` Mmmmm ... '' Wendy looked at her brother plaintively, but he just shrugged.

- I'm sorry, I can't help with magic ...

Wendy's face suddenly changed and seemed to try to stretch out her pen, but she was again seasick ... Aidan realized that she tried to conjure something, but it was already too late. So, the path of the two Assassins continued until the next city. It was then that Wendy finally conjured up the magic she learned from Grandina and finally got rid of motion sickness. Although, she never removed her head from her brother's knees.

The path continued, Aidan stroked his sister and looked at the beauty of nature through the train window. Three hours later, towards evening, they finally stopped at Magnolia station.

Wendy ran out of the carriage and happily raised her hands to the sky.

- Ahh! Liberty!

The young man himself inhaled fresh air and smiled:

- Almost arrived.

- And where now?

- Well ... - the guy looked around and said: - We'll find other clothes for us, you've grown up in a month, and I should wear something decent.

- Mm? Then let's go!

After buying from a rather polite seller, the couple has noticeably changed. Finally, Aidan was able to put on what looked like pants. Simple black breeches, sandals and a dark jacket on the naked body, and also a small backpack just in case. He looked clearly better than before, at least partly like a normal person.

Wendy looked even cuter. Instead of her white shirt, which very quickly ceased to be ... The girl bought a blue dress with a green top and a pair of blue bracelets. So, two ate in a cafe and then went to the guild. Aidan didn't want to wait any longer, so he asked passers-by for directions to the guild. A couple of old people told everything in detail, so the path was not difficult. And in fact, everything here turned out to be even simpler than he initially thought. The road to Fairy Tail was the straightest of all. If you stood on the main street, you could even make out the colorful roof of the building.

Crossing the city, Aidan could not help but notice the beauty of Magnolia and the pleasant benefits of civilization. He managed to eat well delicious food, and most importantly salty! Even coffee, how he missed it! And Wendy was delighted with this new meal. Her brother's cook was not very good, for the most part he slept best in his life. Waking up Aidan is a real S-rank quest, you can't tell ...

Walking down the wide street, Wendy looked around happily. Beautiful buildings made of cut stone, reminiscent of some kind of medieval style. Kardia Cathedral was even more impressive! The girl even stopped for a moment to admire this famous building.

Aidan didn't know much about the styles of architecture, but he also really enjoyed walking around Magnolia. He even noticed a couple of magic shops, but there is not much money left, he still decided to save on housing. So, the guild was getting closer ...

***

Year seven hundred and seventy-seventh. The Fairy Tail Mages Guild was slowly piling up event after event. The arrival of the first Dragon Slayer, Natsu Dragneel, marked many changes for the strongest guild of Fiore. The dawn of the great wizards was just beginning.

About a year ago, a rather reserved girl, Erza Scarlet, joined the guild, but now, time has passed, and she has completely recovered her spirit and has been chasing the newcomer for a whole month. Gray got it even earlier ... This couple of restless boys constantly got it, this became the norm for any member of the guild. There was no question of a victory over the young "Titania" - Gray realized in time that it was better to run away. Still, in the guild, he much earlier and quickly realized how best to avoid Erza, but Natsu ... The guy still could not get used to the fact that he was beaten by a girl. But, most of all, the young Salamander could not get along with his main rival!

So, in general, it happened today ...

- Gray! You bastard, get out of the way! Growled a pink-haired boy of about ten. In response, he received a forehead in the nose from his rival. There was a crash and Natsu turned over several tables. Gray deftly jumped onto the bench and looked at his comrade with contempt:

- You are still learning hugo ... - he did not have time to finish as a board flew in his direction and knocked down all the arrogance at once. The half-naked wizard hit the wall!

At this time, the gray-haired old man frowned at his grandson Laxus. The guy looked noticeably older than a pair of fighting children and behaved much more seriously.

Makarov rubbed his beard and gave a leaflet with an assignment to his grandson:

- Go, but be careful.

Laxus just snorted, straightened his headphones, and tossed his backpack over his shoulder. At the same time, an angry tone was heard:

- Oh, you punks! Stop it quickly! - the guild was crushed again, how could Makarov sit aside ?! The grandson almost went deaf from the cry of the furious Master!

Several older wizards had already begun to place bets and were drinking and watching the fight between Natsu and Gray. They were already cleaning each other's faces in full ... No one paid such attention to Makarov. On the sidelines, laying out the cards, the dark-haired girl discontentedly watching this couple of bully. Cana usually did not participate in conflicts, so the noise in the guild always annoyed her.

Suddenly, a strange pop was heard and the hall immediately fell silent, even Laxus stopped for a moment, watching what was happening out of the corner of his eyes ... Natsu and Gray froze at the same time!
