Chapter 6 : Encounter

"This is pure bliss aah~".Luis woke up on a bed for the first time in this life. " I don't want to get up from this heavenly bed" He was fighting the urge to sleep on the bed again. Luis very unwillingly woke up and got ready to leave.

"Miss do you know where I can get a map? " Luis asked receptionist and went ahead to get a map before leaving the town.

"Where should I go first? " Luis was thinking deeply as looked at the map.'The nearest one with a guild seems to be Margaret town home to Lamia Scale'.

"Guess I've got my destination picked, It's time to hit the road".

----------------

A week and a few days passed by. Luis experienced many things. He experienced for the first time how it was to live in the wild. He passed by many small villages. The villagers were warm but remained very cautious against strangers. He even had his first kill, that is for the first time killing another human. He killed a dark mage who was trying to kill some weak humans in the Forest.

Luis was humming a tune as he walked towards a big town. It was Margaret town. The town was bustling and full of life. Quite luckily today was New year. So, there were many people out in town to performing various tricks and shows.

" I have to get a room" but then he remembered that he was completely broke. So he went ahead and searched for some high class shops. He killed man animals on the way and had leather and useful body parts which he was going to sell.

"Damn that bastard giving only 30,000 Jewels for all that. But I at least now know that I have to be a guild mage to sell those hunts or an affiliated hunter to get a good price. "Luis set off searching for an inn while cursing the shop owner.

"5000 Jewels for a room, I really miss Hargeon now".Luis set all his things in the room and went ahead to explore the town.

After having his fill of exploration, he left the town the next day. He decided that it would be better to use transportation than walk by himself. So, he went ahead and bought a train ticket and set off towards his next destination.

Few Months Later

Luis travelled to all the major cities of Fiore except Magnolia. He was currently in a barren and mountainous area travelling towards the West, towards Magnolia by foot. A month ago he was completely broke and started traveling by foot again as it hurt his wallet less. He even bought himself a cloak to look mysterious.

As he was preparing to set up a camp, he smelled something in the that made his demon slayer magic flare up.

"This is a really, really bad move".Luis said and moved In the direction of the smell.

In A Cave

Three kids One boy and two girls with white hair were sitting around a fire. The atmosphere was gloomy. The boy was nine year old and looked timid. The younger girl was eight years old and was gloomy and angry. The older one was 12 year old, looked sad and seemed to be blaming herself.

" Mira, it isn't your fault so don't feel bad"said the younger girl upon noticing her elder sister's self balme.

"Lisanna is right big sis" said the timid looking boy. "You aren't a demon you are our elder Mirajane Strauss. I and Elfman will always be with you".Lisanna hugged her and started crying. Seeing Lisanna crying Elfman also started crying and hugged Mira. Mira watching her sibling's affection and care towards her, her eyes couldn't help but turn moist and tears started flowing down her cheeks. She hugged her sister and brother and started comforting them.

As they were having this heartwarming movement they the sound of steps started coming from the entrance of the cave. At the entrance of the cave they saw a Cloaked seemingly coming towards them. Mira stood in front her siblings and looked at the person warily. " Who are you and what do you want? "

"I really didn't expect this"said the person.

Luis P. O. V

As he was making his way towards the smell 'I hope it is some low level demon. I don't want to meet any of those madmen from Tartaros. If it is really them then I have to make a run for it the moment l see them. '

He found a cave and checked that the smell was indeed coming from the cave. He went inside carefully and was ready to use his magic the moment he saw the demon. But what he saw completely bewildered him.

"I really didn't expect this". He really didn't expect to see the Strauss siblings here. He knew that they would be forced out of the village this year but didn't know when. The author of fairy tail Hiro Mashima was very vague when it came to past of side characters. So, It was quite unexpected to meet them here.
