Chapter 8

It wasn't too long before Dimi was on the train, sitting across from a rather sick looking Natsu.

"Is he going to be okay?" She asked.

"Oh, don't worry about Natsu, this usually happens." Happy said, waving his paw dismissively.

She was currently going on a job with Erza, Natsu, Happy, Gray, and Lucy , unable to refuse after Erza asked her earlier that day. Thinking about the job, a thought suddenly came to mind. "Hey, I never actually asked, what even is this job?"

"We're going to be bodyguards for a nobleman and his son and accompany them to an important upcoming ball. The nobleman is said to have many enemies and he fears that something might happen on his journey." Erza explained, punching Natsu in the head and making him pass out. "Our task is to protect them from any potential threats that may come their way."

"Hm, sounds easy enough." Dimi said, leaning back and taking a breath.

"Too easy. Couldn't we of done something more interesting?" Gray complained, looking at the group with a bored look.

"Don't complain Gray." Erza said simply, not sparing a glance at the icy headed wizard.

The rest of the train ride went smoothly, and it wasn't long before they arrived at the village. Stepping out of the train, Dimi took the time it took to get the nauseous Natsu out to investigate her surroundings.

The village seemed to be on the bigger side of the scale, having paved streets and people bustling about. It seemed to lay right at the foot of a heavy forested mountain range, Dimi wouldn't be surprised if there was a dragon hiding in it somewhere, if dragons were still around in this dimension.

As they walked through the town, Dimi kept looking around. People were sitting outside cafe's, walking pets in nearby parks, everything looked peaceful. Of course, there were some screams from playing children, and some grumpy babies, but the atmosphere of the village was calming to her.

"We're here." Erza said, interrupting Dimi from her thoughts. Looking on front of her, Dimi saw a towering mansion. Damn, this is almost as big as a rich kid school. She thought.

Knocking on the door, a maid opened it almost immediately. "You must be the FairyTail Wizard who took up the request, please follow me to my master's study." The maid said before turning around and leading the FairyTail wizards through the halls.

Once they got to a set of doors, the maid knocked and there was a very faint 'come in' from inside the room. Inside a man was sitting at his desk, blaring red hair sitting neatly on top of his head and a stern look on his freckled face.

"Master Hayashi, these are the Fairy Tail wizards that will be accompanying you and your son to the ball."

"Ah, yes." The man stood up from behind his desk, towering at least a foot above Dimi— though that wasn't unusual, she was short after all, only reaching up to 5'1. "Dedren, you may come in now, we're heading out."

"Already, father?" A young boy's voice said, drifting into the room as a boy— Dimi assumed was Dedren— entered the room. His face looking similar to his fathers with freckles adorning his face and a pair of forest green eyes that seemed to be able to stare into someone's soul.

Though that wasn't what Dimi was focused on, the door the boy exited through was cracked open, and her eyes made contact with another pair of vivid green eyes, and strands of fiery red hair shining in the light from the large windows the Study had.

"Oh, don't mind her. That's my daughter. Unfortunately she won't be joining us today since she's been struck with another illness. She seems to be a very sickly child these past few months." Mr. Hayashima said, noticing Dimi's stare.

"Oh, that's quite unfortunate indeed." Erza said.

"Let's not dwindle on the sad thoughts though, Dedren and I have a party to attend, right son?"

"That's right daddy!" The boy exclaimed, an excited smile on his face. "Party! Party!"

-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-

After getting the two into the carriage, Dimi joined Lucy at the back of the carriage while Gray say up front next to the driver. Erza placed herself inside the carriage with the two passengers and Natsu was flying above the carriage in lookout for anyone that might be following them or planning on ambushing them up ahead.

And with everyone in their positions, the travels had started.

Small cameo from another book character? I think so! Only adjusted thing was the ages so it would fit more into this story!
Did you guys find who it was?

(Also updating a chapter today because the only chapters during the weekend were edited chapters some peeps had already seen~)
