In Lilycrest (Small town to the west of Magnolia) stood a tall, young, adult with light brown hair and a determined expression on his face standing in an alley of the said town. Approximately five Forest Goblins (small, green squirrel-like animals) huddled at the end of the alley, cowering in fear. "So, this is the last of them.." He muttered, his voice echoed and hung in the air for what seemed like minutes. The shadows of the alley almost appeared to wave as they manifested in the young mans hand. They formed an over-sized hammer, which the youth steadily slammed down on the small creatures.
Bang
It had been a few days since Elijah had accepted the job of exterminating a small towns Forest Goblin problem. The creatures had been supposedly sneaking in at night and snatching up the farmers crops and just causing a rather disturbing ruckus. It was an easy, simple job and it was such a minuscule issue for Elijah to deal with that he just couldn't pass up the reward of 10,000 Jewels. Elijah decided to walk back to Magnolia. It wasn't too far from the town that had the Goblin infestation, only about 3-4 miles and he figured he could use some walking, instead of using his Shadow Make Horse.
With Magnolia in sight, he started to sprint. He murmured a few things about how starving he was and slid to a halt in front of his house. He quickly inserted his house key in the lock. Click, the door unlocked and he rushed in. Fairy Tail may have had food but Elijah couldn't help but eat at his house.
Steam seeped under Elijah's bathroom door after having his shower. He dried himself off and change into his 'casual' clothes, plus his headband. He then decided to head over to the guild. He might as well report to Beau that he completed his task, as if there had been any doubt. He took his time to admire the beauty of Magnolia's canal, he was usually out of town doing work or just sightseeing but never to the time to actually absorb Magnolia's pretty environment. However, before he had even noticed, Elijah was standing right in front of the guild. Lots of joyous noise came from within the guild, as per usual, so he opened the large doors. He stepped in and the door slowly closed behind him. He glanced around with surprise, a couple new faces had arrived, but he decided to leave them be as they seem to be taking up a job request.
Elijah headed over to the Request Board, where he noticed Beau as well as Index standing. It appeared that a number of new jobs were posted, much to his excitement.
"Yo, Beau! Are there possible any new jobs about any Dark Guilds?" He asked, it was a question he asked frequently as he was obsessed with taking down the guild that captured him father, Whispering Ghosts.
