LITTLE FURY ( fairy tail. )

CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE ➵ ALLIED FORCES ASSEMBLE!

A few pre-chapter notes, first, thank you for 10k reads (I put more after the chapter), second, I want to write out the Oración Seis arc by the episodes, which mean that they'll be longer or potentially shorter than my previous regular ones. If I like how it turns out, it may become what I do for the future, but for now, please enjoy the update!

This gif makes me want to run far, far away and a fast as I possibly can...

Following her job for the free-spirted tavern owner, Dealana had taken a few smaller jobs while Lucy apparently ran off to Acalypha. The Storm Dragon Slayer helped serve food and even made a few more drinks that Cana taste tested for free. The brunette was more than willing.

"So, where did Erza and the others go?" Dealana asked MiraJane, pouring yet another cup of booze for Cana. The white-haired beauty smiled, "There's a new restaurant opened in Hargeon. You remember Yajima, right?"

Dealana nodded, "He was on the magic council before the whole Jellal thing."

"Well, he went into the food business and requested for wizards to help him out and entertain guests." Mira explained.

Fairy Tail's Tempest sweat-dropped, "I get Erza and Lucy, maybe Gray, but Natsu? Unless he's helping in the kitchen, I'd say Old Man Yajima's place will be burnt to the ground in no time." Hearing this, Cana laughed, her cheeks already rosy from intoxication.

Dealana spent the rest of the day in the company of the Guild Hall serving and making drinks with Mira. The eldest Strauss figured that something was bothering Dealana but the stubborn heterochromatic brushed off her concerns claiming she was fine.

Dealana wasn't ready to admit that she had problems with her magic since coming back from her first job. She believed she could handle it before anything more happened. So, she couldn't use lightning magic properly? She could still use other styles of storms. Dealana planned on training more later that day back at her cave.

 The next day, Dealana was among the first to arrive at the guild. She conjured a cloud to sit crossed legged on, one of her hands playing with Lisanna's bracelet and Laxus' bracelet around her ankle. Reedus was drawing up a chart of Dark Guilds. Dealana was still young, despite feeling much older after growing up in the chaos that is Fairy Tail and she rarely took solo jobs that involved Dark Guilds. She had accompanied Gajeel on a couple of jobs when he joined Fairy Tail that dealt with Dark Guilds and she had a lot of fun taking them down with the Iron Dragon Slayer.

"What's this?" Dealana glanced over at Lucy who was staring at the chart in curiosity.

"It's an organization chart of the Dark Guilds," Mira explained. Reedus spoke up saying, "Yes, I drew it."

"When you look at it overall, there are quite a lot of them." Erza remarked. Lucy was still trying to understand and asked, "Why?"

"Because lately it seems like their activity has increased," Mira admitted, "We have to strengthen the bonds between guilds."
