Chapter 26: Sun Village (1)
~Rou POV~
"You want to go where?!"
Hearing the loud sounds of the iconic four of Mavis, Warrod, Yuri, and Precht again I smirked finally starting to learn some powerful magic as I talked to them in the Guild Master Office in private, "Yup! I plan on investigating Sun Village. It's located in one of Fiore's desertic areas. Been hearing some interesting rumors in the area."
Blinking at this Mavis smiles already wanting to start another adventure with me agreeing, "Yes! I'm so coming about this adventure! From what I hear Sun Village is a place filled with Giants right if the rumors are true."
Nodding my head confirming Mavis's words I explain the reason why I want to go there curious about it in the present era, "Yeah. But more so I'm interested in their item or God they worship. The Sun Village's population is known to worship the Eternal Flame, an ever-burning flame which grants them protection."
Listening to my reasoning Precht speaks up about recalling something like that as he gives us information about it during his time as a treasure hunter, "Right. I actually remember a mission like that where our former Guild said something about the Eternal Flame being an SSS-Class item…"
Triple S huh?
Makes sense because that amounts of S's are the very likelihood chance of death but also Yuri chimes in about the item as he looks up at the ceiling, "Right I remember there was a mission like that. But from what I heard the Giants guard it but also some kind of Fire Magical Beast or Monster defending the fire that burns them to ash. The only info is a loud roar before they burn to ash."
Yup.
That sounds like Atlas Flame Dragon is still kicking all right.
Despite hearing the grim news, I couldn't help but smirk at this as I replied to their worries, "No worries guys will make sure to keep our distance. Besides I've been meaning to have some duo adventure with Mavis after forming the Guild."
The 3 of them merely had a knowing smile on their faces as Warrod voices out knowingly, "Ah… young love of youth. Just make sure not to get in too close you two. If you do then will talk about the birds and the bees."
I and Mavis both blushed at this as we couldn't really say anything in our defense since we both started dating of sorts but nothing intimate other than holding hands.
I merely glared at Warrod for that as Yuri laughs at me hanging his arm over my shoulder with his other waving around with a smug grin on his face, "No worries Rou old buddy old pal old chum of mine! I'll teach –EEEEE!!!"
*BAM*
Kicking the man in between the jewels I commented for being too close, "That was for –ECKKK!!!"
*ZZZZ*
Suddenly I got electrocuted with Yuri retaining his smug grin and holding his jewels as I felt got eletricuoted, "Ha! Next time you kick me like that I'll electrocute your sorry ass to next week!"
Oh, this fucker…!
"MAVIS CHOP!!"
*BONK*
"Ow!"
"MAVIS CHOP!!"
*BONK*
"Hey!"
Like that Mavis bonks the both of us clenching our heads in pain as she holds her book with a smoldering smoke off it pouting at our antics being guys replying, "Hmph! You two always do this whenever you get too close to one another! And Yuri you can't take my Rou!!"
Wha…?
Wait…
"WE'RE NOT GAY DAMN IT!!!!!"
I and Yuri both yelled at Mavis for thinking that but when I saw her mischievous smirk on her face… oh no she didn't dare to do what I think she did? Turning around I soon found my answer as the whole Guild soon burst into laughter seeing a recording Lacrima…
And Illusion Magic of us doing the deed for everyone to see…
Oh my God…
"JAJAAJAJ!!!"
"NOT GAY YEAH RIGHT?!"
"JUST LOOK HOW THEY DEFENDED EACH OTHER!"
"I KNEW THE YAOI WAS REAL BETWEEN THEM!!!"
"JUST LIKE MY FANFIC!"
"OH, MY GOD!!!"
"THAT SHIT IS TOO FUNNY!!!"
NANI?!!!!!
Cringe!
I instantly flinch as I hear the laughter of everyone, of our reaction and rumors going around with Mavis rolling around on the floor with Warrod and Precht laughing at the both of us!
They planned this from the start!
I regret making a private Manga section for members to read!
Oh, this little vixen!
I swear I'm going to prank her back along with Warrod, and Precht for that laughing their asses off!
Tilting my head towards Yuri with fiery eyes matching my own with us making a handshake filled with determination listening to his words, "Agree to make a temporary truce for vengeance's sake my enemy!"
*SMACK*
Gripping his arm back in agreement with a nod I replied equally determined, "Oh you have yourself a deal Dreyar!"
Will get our prank on them when they least expect them…
Mark my words!
/////
Like that, we already left the Guild on a trip towards Sun Village in the desertic areas of Fiore on a carriage with her kicking her legs on her seat and talking to me happily, "I'm very excited to see those Giants! I wonder if they are like those in the stories of those Fairy Tales we read."
Shrugging at this I replied to Mavis with a grin looking outside the view of Magnolia in the process, "Maybe… but then again, I hope the stories about the Sun Village are wrong. I want to see them personally but more so the Eternal Flame in person."
Mavis looks in my direction tilting her head a bit and directly asking me as she plays around with her bag using Telekinesis Magic, "True. But be straight with me Rou. You know seem to know what the Eternal Flame really is despite Yuri and Precht's warnings… do you suspect something unique about it."
Ah…
No way I can hide this from you alone.
Shaking my head helplessly here I replied to Mavis as her eyes widen at the info I dropped in an excited tone, "Yup! From what Yuri and Precht said I already have a gut feeling about what the Eternal Flame and Magical Beast are… were going to meet a Dragon Guardian of Sun Village. And will ask said Dragon where we can find the Fairies."
She smiles excitedly at this, but I feel nervous because I need to ask Atlas Flame Dragon what the timeline where in.
That's the only confirmation I can solely rely on to know if I'm in the second or first timeline as well as ways to plead Atlas Flame to teach me how to use Hell Fire Dragon Slayer Magic for the upcoming war.
If he remembers the events in the Magical Games Arc, then he would notice our Fairy Tail emblem on our bodies which will make him trustful towards us because of his knowledge in the future.
And if not then I would bargain with Atlas Flame about visions of the future which in reality is my meta knowledge and where to locate Igneel in the future because they are close friends in the past.
Hopefully, that would be enough for him to listen as he enjoys being the protector of the Sun Village he created.
Turning my eyes at Mavis she began to cheerfully think to herself many questions of what to ask the Giants and Dragon in Sun Village along with planning how to go about entering or finding Sun Village.
The finding would actually be the easy part.
Holding in my hand is a compass but not any compass but with my knowledge of Enchant and Magic Power, I created the Enchant: Desire.
This one when Enchant on an item will allow the user to find what the user desires like that pirate compass making it easy to find the Sun Village because it's what I desire at the time to learn.

Mhmm…
I decided to increase my Magic knowledge after seeing the progression of my Magic Power learning to add Dispel, Telekinesis, and Green Magic into my arsenal.
The reason why I want Green Magic is mostly that I want to revive lost herbs or plants in the future or refuel my small plantation under the Guild along with keeping the Dragon Bones that was on the Kardia Cathedral my secret area.
Only Mavis knows of this since I trust her about it and our own personal treasure trove as well as learn a thing or two from Mavis about her Illusion Magic for in return for the spells, I have to make her more versatile.
We both like to experiment with making new spells or record different ones in the process.
Even asked Warrod for his Green Magic in return for learning Telekinesis and Healing Magic to help others more and defend when need be which I saw was a fair trade.
Green Magic is a Caster Magic that involves the manipulation of nature.
Green Magic is a non-offensive Magic capable of manipulating nature itself, as well as allowing the user to create and/or rapidly accelerate the growth of plants; this can be done to rather minuscule plants on the ground, or on the user's own body. This Magic can also be used to slow down, and halt, desertification.
And considering where going to a desert…
/////
"Hottt…"
Mavis complained a bit when our rider of the carriage took us to the destination point but she didn't have her shoes only barefoot as she piggybacked on me, "Really? You knew we were going to a desert and yet went barefoot?"
She replies back to me trying to put up a defense as we are carrying our bags, "In my defense, I like to go barefoot. And I wanted to walk a desert once barefooted."
Making a jab at her with a mischievous expression on my face, "And how's that going princess?"
She merely pouted at me slumping her body on my back with her arms around my neck, "Oh hush you!"
"Hahaha!"
Laughing out loud she only pouted more at how cute and childish she was acting like this.
She better enjoy it while it last because we won't have a chance like this again for probably a foreseeable future.
I want to get some work done but also make some fun memories before the flames of War erupt in the land of Fiore and Ishtar since we won't get chances like this again.
Adding the fact we don't have Mavis Curse of Contradiction that it might've been a power needed in the Second Trade War or not but it really doesn't matter now.
Because right now though we have a few years left before that Second Trade War happens in the next 2 years as this is still in the year of X686 not X688 by then though we would be 15 years old.
But it would take another 2 years to X690 before the Trade War ends along with a new law in place to stop Guild Wars from happening ever again.
Till then I would rather enjoy the freedom we have as well as deal with any enemies in our way in the process.
And that's still trying to beat Acnologia and Zeref down in the future so long as we can deal with Eclipse Gate and thousands of Dragons coming through it.
Only after the past Heartfillia comes out with Natsu and the rest is when destroying it will not cause any more problems that I will personally see to myself to ensure this world has even a future.
Not for myself maybe… but for my own memories I shared with the girl I love not to be tarnished into a hellish landscape along with those Dragon Gods for good.
And who knows?
Once I learn the dimension-hopping spell from the Moon Dragon God our adventure could really be said to be eternal once we had our fill of adventure but till then though we have much to do –
"Hey Rou?"
Stopping my thoughts I turned my head around as I talked to Mavis in a curious tone, "Yeah Mavis?"
She smiled lightly grasping me tighter around my neck and replying to me, "Would you count this as our first date?"
I merely smiled contently at my little fairy replying to her happy of her question, "Perhaps… but I guess yes since it will really be an adventure for the both of us to share. Right?"
I only heard a small whisper from her as I continue forward in the desert, "Right…"
