X811. It has been six years since the bloody civil war ended and now the world of magic was free once again. Already everyone is getting comfortable in a time of peace and prosperity. This is the beginning of a new golden age for Fiore. A new magic council has been formed with its members mostly being members from the legendary Fairy Tail, the one guild that saved Fiore from total catastrophe from Hyberion and the old Council, lead by chairwoman Erza Scarlet. In fact, they are considered as the best Magic Council the world has ever seen! While magic still prospers, the guilds have been disbanded to form one super-guild called the Wizards of Fiore, which was to promote a better sense of connection towards the other mages far and wide, as well as a sense of unity. Now there is no competition from any other guild, other then the occasional dark guilds that dot across the Kingdom.

However, with a sense of connection, also comes a sense of independence. Mages can still go take missions and jobs on the road either alone or in teams. The teams are usually consisted of 4 mages, each with their own unique skills and powers. Most of the wizards are indeed happy with this lay out, although some don't exactly like it anyways. Either way, the majority was extatic over Fairy Tail's rule and feel that Fiore will rise to become the greatest Kingdom in all of Earthland!

Matisuki Kiryuin

In the tavern of the glorious city of Magnolia, home of the Magic Council, a Matt sits down by the counter while taking a swig of bear and reading the newspaper. He was very muscular, with black hair in the form of a samurai-like ponytail, and wore white kimono pants. Matt was rarely a heavy drinker, but when he does get drunk, its usually after a victorious fight. He remembers the day when Fairy Tail and the rest of the rebellion defeated Hyberion and the old council. The victory parade was a glorious sight to see when he got back to Magnolia, with the Cherry Blossom petals falling to the ground in an array of bright pink and colorful lights that evening. Matt drank all the beer he could manage, enjoing quality time with his comrades. Sure he blacked out and found himself back at home, but it was by far the best night he ever had. It almost felt like it happened yesterday...

He continues to read the newspaper and happens to see various job articles as well as news on what's going on in the world. A new animal species was discovered, an interview of Erza Scarlet, the head chairwoman of the Council, a mage coming back from a 100 years quest, a pinup of a Miss Fiore model, rumors of a mysterious creature being sighted off Galuna Island's coast, and various other titles. All of which were quite interesting. He orders another mug of beer as he finishes reading the articles. After all, it seemed to be quite a lazy day today...

Kuroku Nagasai

On the shores of Akane Beach, The Winter Spirit Kuroku issues a final chilling blow towards a demon as it issues its last breath and falls on its back defeated. The job was rather simple, as all the mage needed to do was to exterminate a demon which was lasted sighted here on the beach. Kuro feared that by now it would've moved somewhere else and he'd have to find him somehow, but thankfully it was still there, and was exceptionally easy to beat. The white haired mage leans down to take the blood red demon ruby from the monster's head to show proof that he defeated the demon. Putting it in his pocket, he freezes the demon's body and threw it into the ocean where it would sink to the bottom of the ocean, never to be seen again.

"Too easy..." he mutters with a slight smirk as he heads back to Magnolia via magical carriage.

Aiden looked up from where he was seated, a spoon hanging loosely from his mouth as he saw a familiar face walk in. Taking out the spoon, he twirled it around his fingers before he scooped up the last precious morsels of his meal, a deluxe Ice cream sundae with several flavors and way too many toppings. Once done, he took the bowl and got up, walking over to the young fire mage with a grin on his face.

"Welcome back Taka, how was that mission you went on? I mean, from the description it seemed like it'd really push your abilities, huh." Aiden said with a chuckle before motioning towards the food court with the bowl in his hand. "So, shall we drink to your impressive accomplishment?"

@WaddleDaisy



Revan let out a small yawn, looking diown at all the mages down below with a disinterested eye. The half-demon was laying amongst the rafters high above the ground, as it's one of thr few places where he's nearly assured a peaceful, uninterrupted rest for as long as he wanted. His red eyes gazed especially upon the newer recruits, judging them all with a critical eye.

Weak, weak, pitiful, full,of himself, pathetic, pathetic, pathetic, and so on and so forth. With the amount of cheery weaklings present, you'd never imagine that the bloodiest war in history had taken place within years of today.

With a 'Tch' of annoyance, he closwd his eyes again, ignoring the world below him as he slowly drifted into unconsciousness.

@Raijinslayer
Taka took a look up to see one of the companions from her guild, the Ice Dragon slayer also known as The Raging Blizzard, oh and his real name is Aiden Cross. Despite their elements being opposite from each other, Taka has a large respect for him, just like the other ones who are more powerful than her. "Yeah it sure did, they made a sneak attack on me while I was in their nest, it pushed me but I luckily managed to get past the danger. Well, I am stubborn if you think about I guess..." Taka laughed a little to herself before she got another question.

"I can go for a small drink." Taka said as she got up, walking over to Aiden as the fire in her hand slowly went out.

"I couldn't help but notice you hiding up here." Revan would hear a familiar voice nearby. Cherry blossoms floated around the rafters, converging in one location next to the relaxing man and reshaping into that of a woman. Once fully combined it appeared that Hana Oshiro had come to pay him a visit. The samurai landed gently on the rafter, crouching down to get closer to Revan's level while not actually taking a seat. "What are you brooding about this time? It doesn't look good to the newer and younger mages to see you avoiding them, you know."

From above there was a good view of the guild hall below. Hana had entered fairly stealthily, otherwise someone would've surely stopped her at the door. Being popular meant that she would never have a shortage of people to talk to. But Hana knew that Revan had a fondness for lounging in the rafters specifically to avoid people. "Is it that you're bored, Revan? When was the last time you took a job? I can help you find a challenging one, if that's what you want." Hana herself was a very powerful mage, but she knew Revan was also incredibly strong. Likely even stronger than her. And for this she respected him, despite his personality being one that wouldn't warrant such respect. "But you can't keep avoiding everyone else..."

Kuroku Nagasai

Almost immediately after Taka's reply, the doors open to reveal Kuro coming casually into the guild hall whistling a small tune as he went inside. His red and black clothing would make him quite flashy, despite his calm tone of demeanor. From his left pocket, he takes out and flips the demon ruby that he got from defeating the demon as he puts it on the job request desk.

"The demon's dead." he says rather emotionally, "Consider this proof of my word."

The woman behind the desk carefully inspects the gem, giving several hmmms and ahhhs. After she finished inspecting it, she nods in approval as she places it in a small box next to him.

"At first I thought you would fail the job." she said with a smirk, "You certainly proved me wrong. Congratulations Kuro."

"It's not like I never faced a demon before..." the Winter Spirit mutters to himself as he gives a polite nod and heads to the counter to grab a drink. There he sees both Aiden and Taka talking to each other.

"Greetings to you both." Kuroku says with a shallow bow, "It's been quite awhile since we last talked don't you say?"

“Oi! Keep your crummy hands off my teammates!” Isshum yelled as he burst forwards and slammed a flaming fist into a inattentive rock monster, his flames licked through its crusty shell, crackling loudly inside. With a pull, he yanked his arm from the monster’s insides and watched as it crumbled into lifeless stone. It blended well with the mountainous, cliff-side terrain.

He shook his gloved hand of the dark dust, glanced at his fighting comrades, and grinned challenging towards the hoard of golems that scuttled towards him. Still unsure on how he had bumped into the aggressive mob, Isshum had decided to take the incident in stride. After all, it was their mission to take out some walking mountain, so the crawling boulders had to have meant they were close.

“Huh?” he wondered, taking note of the gravelly, crumbling steps of the heavy-footed monsters. “Ah! So you want more of the Wild Brilliance! Bring it on you club-footed blockheads!”

Launching back from them, he found himself near the edge of a craggy, grass-dotted ledge. Even still, he smirked with confidence. “Fuck yea, I’m going to make this spectacular!” He clenched in his stomach and curled his arms tightly as his fist flared and sparked to life. His flames resembled the brightly flickering life of a lit firework but burned a crimson hue.

He had expected the hoard to charge him but for several moments, they just stood still. Isshum raised his brow thuggishly, taking a step forwards. As he did the earth tremored beneath him. The hell was that? he thought, staring at the earth and stomping again. Nothing happened. Well, he hadn’t created that tremor. When he motioned backwards and twisted his lip in contemplation, the tremor shook the ground again. This time, he found his balance was thrown off.

“W-What the hell!” he barked, looking for his teammates. Was this one of their doing? They knew how he hated sudden movements. He was so caught up in his own thoughts that he missed the harmonious, rumbling of the golems kneeling in front of him. When he caught the whiff of freshly uprooted earth from behind him, Isshum turned and first noticed a hand-shaped shadow blotting out the sun.

Realizing that it was actually a gray-stoned hand, Isshum tightened his posture, brought his arms around himself, and winced in preparation to get squashed. The moments ticked by slowly. He didn’t feel crushed or bloody, so he peeked his surroundings. Noticing long stones the size of magical-buses between him, he felt a surge of energy hype him. His instincts drove him to grasping onto its craggy index finger, his hand fitting inside its crevices.

"I call dibs on the big guy!"

“You’re mines now you bastard! I’m gon----I’m gonnaaa. Wreck … ya?” Isshum felt bile bubble in his gut, the earth spun in his vision with a might twirl. It took only a second for the nausea to immobilize him, it took all he had to hold on to the finger and keep from falling hundreds of feet to his death.

Broken sentences rained down from the king golemn’s hand, faintly reaching the others on the cliff. “Viii! Hel- Blarrghh. Help me!”

After what seemed up like a rather lazy morning, the hall was starting to fill up nicely. Any other bartender would be delighted that the drinks were stqarting to flow. Tessa on the other hand was getting annoyed. Then again, she always did. "Lousy kids, always so noisy." she grumbled for herself, hidden in a corner behind a newspaper.

One of the kids started to get a bit too noisy(after drinking a bit too much), and was quickly silenced and put to sleep by an expertly thrown sphere of rock solid pastry. "Free pie for whomever gets the man out to sleep it off. Over the street under the apple trees looks just fine. Thank you." she announced, and two younger kids gladly got to work. Free candy was always good motivation.

Tessa returned to the newspaper, hoping noone would want anything or cause problems until she was at least done with this article.

@Forsythe

Matisuki Kiryuin

Matt can hear Tessa's comment about one of the kids making quite a ruckus nearby. Thankfully he was quickly silenced and taken outside so that he wouldn't cause anymore discomfort by two kids. Despite her grumpy nature at times, Matt always likes to see her when she's around. He knows how good spirited she can be and can also relate to her about the stories of war. He thought of her as a good friend as a matter of fact. He slowly lowers his newspaper as he takes a sip of his mug and makes a friendly look at Tessa. He paused for a second before answering, just making sure he wouldn't disrupt her.

"Ah Tessa." he says in a gruff but friendly voice, "Good to see you here. How's life treatin' you at the moment?"

It was also at that moment when he could faintly sense something pulse with dark energy nearby. It kinda bugged him a bit but tried to shake it off.

A dark colored blur raced around the golems on the ground, angling directly for the big guy. As it reached the foot of the massive stone creature, Vivian came into view as she had to slow down to climb. Still moving insanely fast, she had to climb up the side of the golem while it was moving, making it difficult to hold on. After ten grueling minutes, she made it to the golem's arm and ran down it, but at normal speed.

"Got yourself in some trouble there, huh?" She said, balancing easily on the heel of the beast's hand. She patted Isshum on the head before pulling out a piece of chalk. She wrote a small circle of runes on the stone wrist before plucking one of her own hairs and placing it in the circle.

"I offer this element of myself as catalyst to the world. Blast." She intoned, her voice taking on a strange, otherworldly quality. As soon as she finished the incantation, the circle shone brightly for an instant and pushed downward with the force of a wrecking ball, cracking the stone. It wasn't enough to break the hand off, but it was enough to force the hand open, dropping Isshum.

"I've got you!" Viv called as she leaped from the wrist, catching him in mid air. She waited as they fell, then reduced her speed to half, landing with only a jarring impact rather than a bone breaking crash.

Akatsuki was happy beyond happy in fact through a lot of trial and error mainly error she managed to get what she was looking for. The Alders key one of the items to get the supposed "lost" weapons her brother was always going on about. She was one step closer to finding him now she believed. Walking while admiring the old key that looked like it was made out of stone and wood as she watched the blue runes on it glow in and out with a faint light. This was something she was proud of herself for getting sure the ruins where it was located was booby trapped and had monsters teeming within. Sure she should have brought teammates along but in the end she managed to get it by herself. Looking around and deciding that perhaps she would take the day off she decided to go to a nearby tree and sit under it as she examined the key closer. "I have the key but I dont know how to get to the temple or where it even is. Brother what was it you were looking for?"

Aiden merely smiled and nodded at her words, his eyes turning to look at Kuroko, thinking a little on the man's comment with a grin on his face.

"I guess so, but then again, it also means I don't have to compete with you, Mr. Pencil Wizard." Laughing slightly at hus small joke, Auden ked the group over to the bar, where he gave a respectful nod to Tessa as he asked for a light ale. People could mock him all they want, but Aiden knew he was atrocious at holding his liqour and wasn't trying to make a fool out of himself as well. He also asked for the old pastry mage to give him another thing of ice cream, making it his 7th one in the last few hours. The slayer's addiction to ice cream was almost as well-known as his rage-fulled rampages, of which a few were caused by the very confection.

Every dragon had a treasure to defend and this one guarded his frozen treats with an intense passion. Trying to steal some from hom was unwise in the extreme unless he allows you to have some, and since that's never happened, just leave him to his treats. Otherwise, you'll be in for a bad case of frostbite to follow the terrible brainfreeze you're about to endure.

"So, since it's been awhile since this team formed up, whose to say we paint the town red. That or a request, as I'm fine with either. Been cooped up in here too long and I'm eager to stretch my wings, so to speak."

Aiden spoke in-between bites as he began to tear through his sundae, stopping a moment to slow down and savor a particular good bite, before he kept on going.



"I can avoid everyone as much as I damn well please, Hana . . . besides, Interacting with these ankle biters is the last thing I need right now." Revan said, his eyes remain closed but the air becoming heavy around him, a sign of his anger . . . and his depression. The war had been hard on him, he'd lost some good friends, some kids he grown to care for . . . even his own son. Just the thought of it caused his heart to ache with regret. Their last words to each other had been full if venom and anger(about what, he couldn't remember) and then Xavier was gone from his life forever. The wound was still very fresh, and dealing with the young recruits reminded him too much of what he'd lost.

Opening huseyes ever so slightly, he looked down to see a man walk in to the Guild. While he didn't think much of it at first, the longer he stated the more he felt . . . something stir in his blood. Something about the boy pulled at him, and that was never a good sign. Without a word to Hana, he got up and jumped from the rafters, landing directly in front of the man with a heavy thud. Dressed in plain, casual clothing of a black shirt, blue jeans, and some shoes, he had no right to look half as inti idating as he did. But as his red eyes stared into those of the newcomer, he gave off an intense presence, a glare across his features that could burn a hole through stone.

"I can smell the darkness coming off you, no matter how much you try to conceal it, as you can probably smell from me as well. I don't know who or what you are, and I can't say I care that much either. I just want to get o e thing straight." Revan spoke in a low, harsh tone, one that could only be heard by the man he was talking to, and he closed in with every word, gradually increasing the pressure he exuded with his magical energy. "Causing any trouble around here is a mistake that you will not live to regret, whelp, so behave yourself or I'll have to turn you into a stain in the ground. Understand?" After he'd given his warning, whether the man heeded it or not, he walked away to the bar, taking a seat at the table and barking an order at the decrepit hag serving the drinks.

"You know the drill Tessa, 3 barrels of the good stuff and I want it now. I'm probablygoing to deal with people today and I want to at least try to do it buzzed, got it?"

"Busy enough not to be able to finish this gad damned piece of news." the old woman growled, giving up. Rolling the newspaper and shoving it into the counter Tessa got up and walked up to Matisuki. "Enough to consider taking the odd job again. Sheesh, it's been two years already, no wonder this place is getting on my nerves. And the job six months ago doesn't count, that was just a kid's birthday party!" Well, OK, it wasn't too challenging but the smiling children did lift her mood. "And you good sir?"

Another patron demanded her attention. Rudely. "It's Miss Alvarado, at least for you. And the kegs are in the basement, you can haul them up yourself, leave the cash here." she yelled back at Revan, "And you might want to try going sober for a while. Look at me, I have to deal with you and I'm not hammered. See how that works for my health?" she pointed to her wrinkled face bearing a few scars from the war. None the less she picked up three pints and got to work.

@Raijinslayer@Lmpkio
Taka followed the two of them into the bar, despite her being underage she normally gets some milk or something to go with the sweets that she carries around. She sat down on one of the stools and looked towards Aiden to see him speaking about this small team of theirs grouping together once again. "Milk please." Taka said as she ordered a glass of milk, she pulled out a bag of sweets and tried to figure out which one she could go with her milk, she decided to go with some small cookies with it. She looked back at them.

"We should do a request, you guys need a fire girl in case you get into a tough situation." Taka said as she started to lean onto the counter somewhat smirking at them like a smart ass. Taka's a tsundere so her attitude usually makes her a little mean. She stared at them with her pink eyes.

"Fine myself madam." Matt answers with a friendly chuckle, "Just taking a small break from jobs. The last one I did was quite an intense one ya know? But I'm glad things are going well for~"

He was about to finish when he suddenly sees an unknown figure entering the gates. It was also then that he now feel the dark aura to be a lot stronger then before.

"~you..." he finally finishes with an unintentional scrowl.

Revan would be the first to come up to this new figure, basically telling him to behave or get lost. Once finished he approaches Tessa to order 3 barrels of beer... just in case things get ugly. Matt gives several guttural puffs at this unknown... 'intruder' as he watches the events from his seat. The dark man addressed some rude things about Revan and to Hana, another fellow comrade, which began to make Matt's blood boil. This guy feels like a ticking time bomb, ready to explode at any moment. So can also be said for Matt in a way...

"OI." he growls at him defensively, "Leave em' alone. Grab a beer or two and go some place else. We don't want any trouble with you or anyone LIKE you."

Kuroku Nagasai

Kuroku laughs as Aiden addresses him as Mr. Pencil Wizard. Indeed, not only were his powers ice, but in fact Black Ice, which is a combination of ice, granite, and a pinch of dark magic thrown into it. It was a pretty powerful combination.

"Getting a little fiesty huh?" Kuroku would tease Aiden lightly with a chuckle, "Well just don't get too cocky about it."

He then turns to Taka.

"It could make things interesting I suppose" he answers her calmly, "After all, we all need a burning passion when the going gets tough young Firecracker."

He chuckles at that small tease of his, but after he finished, he can see the mysterious dark figure come into the bar, while also seeing Revan, Matt, and the rest of the tavern turn all of their attention to him. And boy did he have a very dark aura. In fact, there seemed something a bit nostalgic about him... a scent that was quite familiar. He looks at Aiden and Taka calmly yet sternly.

"Careful guys..." he says as if he wanted them to stand down, "I suggest you both stand down. We don't want to further intensify the situation."

Bristlebane gave a snort as he woke up and nearly fell off his stool. He looked around with blurry eyes, the hall was a lot less full then it was last night. Bristlebane focused on one of the last things that was said, something about a request, "Hey, I wanna do a request, can I come? Please?" Bristlebane asked dragging the last word out.

Sitting in the hall could get really boring sometimes. He turned to look at the wierdo that was irritating people. He looked like one of those dark brooding types that though they were better than everyone. He was tempted to mess with the stranger just for the sake of it but he still remembered the last time he had to pay for damages and decided against it.

Upon further inspection it looked like lazy dark and brooding of their own had come down for a drink as well. Bristlebane had a feeling this was going to turn into a fight one way or the other but he certainly wasn't going to be responsible for starting it. "Oh and Miss Alvarado, would it be too much trouble for you to get me some pancakes?"
