Frea couldn't stop herself from yelling the word out loud. Solana's words had completely shocked her, shocked her beyond belief. How long ha she known those two dense idiots known as Natsu and Happy, and yet she had never once heard about them visiting Solana?

She couldn't believe Solana was lying, she could hear the pure honesty on the young Dragon Slayer's voice. If she wasn't lying... Why the hell haven't Natsu or Happy said anything?!

Solana didn't look surprised at Frea's shock in the slightest. In fact she was calmly smiling at her, hands hooked behind her back.

"They never mentioned me, right?" Solana asked and Frea shook her head. Solana laughed a little, "That doesn't surprise me, I love the two of them, but they get sidetracked so easily, and they really aren't the brightest people." Solana told her and Frea couldn't help but smile a little.

At least she wasn't the only who thought that of the two.

"As I said already, they only came to visit me when they were out on jobs. I have to guess that by the end of their jobs, they completely forgot about their visit with me, and that's why I was never mentioned." Solana explained and Frea nodded slowly. She didn't find it hard to believe Solana's explanation to be true.

"I have to ask, are you and Natsu really Brother and Sister?" Frea asked and Solana shook her head.

"Not in blood, but I started calling him that because when I was younger, I looked up to him as my brother." Solana smiled, her fangs being seen in her grin. "He was nice to me, and helped me out a few times when I ran into trouble."

Frea smiled back, she could only just imagine a younger Natsu and Happy running around and hanging out with an even younger Solana. The two were much like children themselves, they probably got along just fine back then.

"So are they both ok? I heard a lot of Fairy Tail went missing for seven years." Solana asked and Frea nodded.

"They're fine, the Seven Year thing, well, a lot of us got caught in an ancient spell, and time stopped for us altogether for seven full years." Frea explained. "We only got back awhile ago."

"That explains it, so you were missing for seven years too?" Solana asked and Frea nodded.

"Yeah." She mumbled, "I still can't believe I missed so much time..."

Solana smiled at her, "Your back now, that's all that should count." Frea smiled a little and nodded.

"Your right." She replied.

Solana hooked her arms behind her back and let out a long sigh. "Now to figure out what to do..." The red-head murmured as her eyes closed and Frea watched her silently.

That was a good question, Frea could just leave and let this whole situation be. But she wasn't about to leave Solana out here with a Dark Guild, and the Magic Council chasing after her.

The Magic Counsel really was full of idiots, and this Dark Guild would be better just leaving Solana alone, because now she was going to find them, and beat them to a pulp.

"I'll help you sort all of this out, Solana." Frea told her and the red-heads green eyes snapped open in surprise.

"You'll... What?" Solana murmured in disbelief. Frea smiled at her.

"You heard me, this way I can help you, and get some more training done at the same time." Frea told her, and she hit a clenched fist against her open palm. "Destroying a Dark Guild would make for pretty good practice, don't you think?" She chuckled and Solana smiled warmly at her.

"I'm sure it would, thanks for helping me." She replied. "But I don't have any idea where to start, do you?" She asked hopefully and Frea narrowed her eyes.

That was a good question, she would probably red more information on the Dark Guild, and Solana didn't seem to know much herself.

"Perhaps I may be able to help." Jynx appeared before them.

Frea glanced to the side calmly, while Solana jumped out of her skin in surprise.

"Holy crap!" Solana yelled and Frea gave the red-head a sympathetic smile.

"Relax, she's not going to do us any harm." Frea promised. "Though she does have a bad habit of showing up out of nowhere." She said with a meaningful glance at Jynx who only smiled back at her.

"You.. You know her?" Solana stammered and Frea nodded.

"She's part of Fairy Tail, and she's a friend of mine." Frea explained.

Jynx glanced toward Solana, and there eyes met for a moment. Frea felt the sudden apprehension come off of Solana and she quirked an eyebrow. Why is she so...?

"The Dark Guild that Sun Dragon took down nearly four years ago was called Phoenix Tear." Jynx started as she looked way from Solana. "Most members were sent to prison, however a few of the members that escaped capture regrouped a year later and created several new Guilds, the one after Sun Dragon now is called Black Chimera. They are a very formidable guild, I'm not surprised that they managed to turn the Magic Counsel against Sun Dragon. This may take longer than you expected." Jynx said as she looked at Frea.

Frea blinked a few times, "Why does it sound like this will take a very long time?" She asked.

"Because it will." Jynx replied. Both Solana and Frea moaned quietly and Jynx smirked a little, before her face became serious once more. "If you prefer, I will lead you to the Guild's base, I know where it is."

Solana and Frea exchanged glances, "What do you think?" Frea asked and Solana nodded a little.

"I think its the best option, are you sure you still want to help me?" Solana asked her and Frea smiled a little.

"Of course, I can't let you take on Black Chimera alone can I?" She asked, before glancing back at Jynx. "So where are they at?"

Jynx spun in he toe as she began walking. "Follow me."

.:+:.

The two of them followed Jynx as the ghost lead them away from the southern woodland in silence. Frea cast a glance at Solana,

"Your the Sun Dragon Slayer?" She asked and Solana nodded. "You eat.. Sunlight?" Again Solana nodded, not looking her way.

"Before you ask me, no, I didn't have a Dragon. When I was really young a Dragon Slayer Lacrima was implanted in my body." Solana replied and Frea blinked in surprise, she had been about to ask the very question, but Solana seemed to had been able to tell what she was thinking.

When she explained that she had a Lacrima in her body, her mind immediately flashed to Laxus, who was the same way. That got her thinking to why Laxus had been implanted with the Lacrima, and she glanced back at Solana.

"I know another Second Generation Dragon Slayer." Frea told her. "He had a Lacrima put in him because he used to be rather frail and sickly as a child." She saw Solana stiffened a little. "What was the reason you had one put inside of you?" Frea asked and Solana sighed.

"Sort of the same reason as the other Second Generation Dragon Slayer you know." Solana replied. "Before my parents died, they had it put inside of me so I could live longer. I was born rather sick, and I wasn't going to live long." Solana explained, and one of her hands came up to rest lightly on her chest. "It's something wrong with my heart, I could hardly do anything when I was young. I couldn't play, couldn't run, could hardly ever move around."

"The Lacrima gave me my powers, and made me stronger. I still run the risk of becoming sick again, or even dying if I overdo it with my magic. But I haven't had any problems, I'm always careful." Solana told her, and finally glanced her way, wearing a rather warm and cheerful smile. "But I don't want you to feel sorry for me, ok?" Solana asked and Frea nodded slowly.

"Alright." Frea replied.

"Were you only out here to capture me, by the way? Or were you doing something else along with it?" The red-head asked out of nowhere. Frea smiled,

"Yeah, I was going to capture you, along with some training. I need to get stronger, I haven't gotten anywhere with my strength or Magic since I was stuck in time for Seven years." Frea told her.

"Then I'll help you with your training." Solana replied and Frea blinked in surprise. "Your already helping me, that's the least I can do." She smiled and Frea blinked a few times, before smiling back and nodding.

"Thanks."
