Previous Chapter Next ChapterLaxus Point of View
As I awoke I remembered all the work that had to be done. I got some breakfast and took a shower to get the day started. I then made my way up to the third floor where the platform was to get started. The plan was to make a rune that would let me travel back to the guild immediately. When I finally got to the platform, I saw Mavis had already started.
"Morning sleepy head." She said.
"Morning. How goes the return rune?" I asked with a yawn at the end.
Mavis giggled. "It only needs your magic signature and the two of us should be able to return to the guild immediately. We will need to test it however." She explained.
I went over to add a smaller rune inside of the return pad and add my magic signature to it. "We can test it when we visit the Everfree today."
"That'll work."
With that we set off to the forest. I was searching for a stone that I could use to create a memorial for the old members of Fairy Tail that lost their lives. As we explored the forest, we came to a cave leading deep into the ground. We decided to look inside and see if maybe we could find something worthy of our old family. When we reached the bottom the cave opened into a massive cavern and inside were all sorts of glowing stones and flowers of many different colors. However, I saw this giant stone that was an onyx color with a white light glowing from the edges. I turned to Mavis to see she was looking at it to in disbelief.
"Laxus...That stone is incredibly rare and almost unheard of. It's size alone would make it priceless and is said to bring good luck. It's called Tourmaline." she said as she touched it.
As I looked at it, I felt as though the stone would be perfect for my idea. It was bigger then me and I could easily fit everyone's name on it. It's shape was perfect as well, with it being a giant rectangle. "Very well. This is what we will use to honor them." I said. I looked around and saw some strange glowing flowers that were a mix of red and orange. They were very beautiful so I picked a handful of them before we left.
Mavis just nodded as she and I tried to use the return pad. Thankfully it seemed to be working with no problems at all. We were even able to transport the tourmaline back with us. We took it to the basement and put it in the door on the right. We stuck the stone in the middle of the room and had a some lights directly above it shining down to make it the center of the room. When entering the room now, the stone would be all your able to see and about only three feet of the ground at the base of the stone. Everywhere else in the room was pitch black and seemed like the stone was the light in the middle of an abyss. Mavis and I started carving the names of the Fallen Fairy Tail members. This took us while, but we were able to finish in a couple of hours. I then proceeded to place spells, traps and alarms around the room. The room was now an anti-magic zone so no one could teleport into it or use magic to destroy the memorial. We left the room and started placing seals, spells, traps, and alarms all over the basement, but not before I moved a handful of supplies that would last; to the panic room.
As we left the basement I set up check points on the stair case just to be safe then I started working on the door to the basement. I placed two alarms on the door. One was to notify me directly if someone attempted to enter the basement out of curiosity or evil intentions. The second was an alarm that would sound through out the guild and notify all guild members. Lastly, I put a ejection spell on the doorway, so that anyone who attempted to enter the basement would be thrown back and knocked unconscious. If they were stronger however, they would probably be able to stay awake, but would still be thrown back. Considering how strong I am, I doubt even the princess's would be able to enter. I looked up to the second floor and realized a Pegasus could easily fly up their, so I decided to place a barrier between the first and second floor so that the stair way was the only way up their unless you were me or Mavis.
With that done it was getting close to dinner and I still had two more things to accomplish. I made my way back to the third floor platform and started heading to the bell tower. When I got to the gold bell I saw a ladder that led to the very top of the building and chuckled because I was on my way up their anyway. I however, skipped the ladder and just jumped to the top of the building. I then started to charge my magic, which I'm sure looked like an electrical storm was happen on top of the guild building. This grabbed the attention of many ponies as they all stared at me. I then started arching lighting around the town. This was to create a shield around the town that could be used in emergencies and would automatically activate if someone tried to use magic to attack the town. It would not keep people from entering the town, but it helped protect it from any outside force dumb enough to attack. I also set it up to alert me just like the basement. When the set up for the shield was in place I noticed most of the ponies looking towards the guild. I'm probably gonna have to explain that later on.
The only thing left to do now was grab some dinner and make the MPF ( Magic Power Finder ). Like the one from the tournament back on Earthland.
Once I finished with dinner, Mavis and I started to create the MPF to help us judge the new candidates and make some friendly competition in the guild. However, Mavis said that I would easily max it out at its old setting of a 9,999 power reading, so she recommended we create one to 100,000. She figured that none of the candidates would be able to score over 3,000, but it would be more fun to see what my score was gonna be because she knew the members of the guild would ask. We made it so even physical attacks could read the power of the new members and non unicorns. According to her, the average score will probably be below 300 except for maybe one of the princess's. So with everything in place we finally went to bed to await the new day.
The Next Day
I was awoken by "GET UP! THEIR HERE!" Mavis shouted right in my ear.
I jumped out of bed and my eyes immediately fell upon the sight of Mavis laughing her ass off. I only sighed and took a quick shower. I started to make my way down to the first floor right as I heard a knock on the door. I started to make my way over to it and opened the door to let Celestias staff come in and be inspected. Four ponies had arrived with their luggage and supposedly, all with different jobs and talents. I led them over to the counter where I asked them to introduce themselves. Mavis appeared beside me and started searching their souls to figure out what kind of person they are.
"Hello sir. I'm Magic Touch. I'm here to help with the kitchen and bar! I will cook meals and serve drinks to the best of my ability!" He stated. He was a white furred Pegasus with a black mane and tail. He was wearing a very nice black shirt with black pants. I could tell the man was very professional and seemed to be very excited. I looked at Mavis and saw her nod.
I looked to the next pony who was a unicorn mare. "Hi, I'm Cider Blossom! I'm here to act as a bartender and server to any members of the guild. I will also help make sure that the entrance to the guild and its main hall stay clean. My other job will to be keeping supplies up to date with the purchasing and ordering of more food and drinks." she finished with bubbly attitude. The mare had very light pink fur bordering on white with a standard blue mane and tail. She was wearing a very cute black dress, but it didn't seem overly expensive. I looked to Mavis and saw she nodded.
I pointed to the next candidate who was an earth pony. "Hello sir." She said with a bow. "I am Duster. I am here to maintain the cleanliness of the entire building as a whole including the outside." She explained. This mare had grey fur and another darker shade of grey for her mane and tail along with a mix of white. She was wearing what looked like a maids outfit and appeared to be very stone face. I looked to Mavis who nodded.
I looked at the last pony who was a male unicorn and I did not like the feel from him at all. He was wearing a suit and appeared to be very into himself. He was also wearing a silver necklace. He had white fur with a blue mane and tail. he began to introduce himself. "I am Scribble Scroll and am here to take care of your finances. This means I will keep track of the amount of money the guild has spent and is making to help us function as best as possible." He finished. I looked over to Mavis and saw her shake her head no. I laughed on the inside that we both felt the same thing.
I looked over all of them again. "Its very nice to meet you all and hear about how you're going to help make this guild even better." I said I then looked at Scribble Scroll. "However, I must apologize." At this they began looking nervous. "Scribble Scroll, you will not be allowed to join the guild, nor will you be working here, so you must leave." At this the other three ponies looked shocked and Scribble looked like I smacked him across the face.
"You cant do that! The princess requested I come here herself! You cant ignore her decisions!" He shouted at me.
I then walked over to him till I was right in front of him. As I towered over him I told him "The princess's have already accepted this might happen and I don't have to follow any orders from them. I am not one of their subjects, but a friend. They respect my decisions that have been and will be made. Not only that, but I will ask them to perform a full background check on you and go over your previous work. Now get out" I finished as electricity shot across my body. This cared Scribble and startled the others. Scribble ran out the door and left.
I looked back at the others to see they were very nervous. "That man has probably been stealing from all previous employers. That is why he will not be joining you in the guild." At this everyone looked at each other with surprise on their faces. "Yes. You three passed the inspection." To this they just smile and Cider even did a fist pump. This made me laugh. "Come let me show you to your rooms that will be staying in." As I showed them to the single rooms on the first floor they put their luggage in their rooms of their choosing. "Good. Follow me to the main work area you three will be in." They followed me back out to the counter and the kitchen that was behind it. "All three of you will be working mostly in the kitchen, bar, entrance hall, cellar as well as other areas on the first floor. However, I want you all to know that the basement and second floor will be off limits. I will explain in further detail later on today after I finish todays inspections." At this the three looked at each other and Duster looked like she wanted to say something, but I held my hand up so I could continue. "Duster I will talk to you later about your restrictions seeing as your to clean the entire guild including the second floor. I will explain to you your very specific responsibilities later, but for now be patient." I said. She seemed more relaxed now and I turned to Cider and Magic. "Do the two of you have any combat Training?" I asked them.
"I have magic combat training as well as self defense experience." Cider said.
I looked at Magic and saw a smirk on his face. "I am experienced in close quarters combat...I am also very skilled with knives." He explained.
I looked at Duster and she just nodded. "Good. It will be part of your responsibilities to prevent anyone from going to the second floor, but as I said I will explain why later as well as your responsibilities." I finished.
I then heard a grumble and looked down to my stomach and chuckled. "Have any of you eaten yet?" I asked them. They shook their heads no. "Magic how about you show us just how good you are." I asked him with a smile on my face.
He agreed and got started on breakfast and it was very delicious. Eventually, I told them to wait while I got ready for any candidates that would appear today and be present for their inspection. It was now nearing 10 a.m. and I started hearing quite a bit of noise from the entrance. Figuring it was other candidates I asked Duster to let them in as Mavis and I made our way over to the counter. I sat on top of the counter like my gramps used to do and prepared to inspect a few potential members. When the doors open over 40 people came in and looked at me and the building in awe. I looked at Mavis to see she was just as surprised as I was. However, I felt the presence of the group and determined only about half were worthy.
As the group approached I saw some familiar faces and some that I had never seen before. The group had come to a stop right in front of me. I had a smile on my face to see so many eager faces. "Thank you all for coming here today." I said. "How many of you present are here to try and join Fairy Tail? Please raise your hand." Out of the group of 40 only about 25 raised their hands. "How many of you are here to place a contract for a task that you have?" At this the other 15 hands were raised. I smiled. "Very well; will the contractors please fill out these forms. These are to inform the guild what task you need completed, the reward for completing the task and where to turn in the contract when they have completed it. You will also give a difficulty rating on your contracts from E being the easiest, to A being the hardest. If you think your task is even more difficult it will be an S class contract and up. This will require a higher reward and please be fair about the reward. I don't want to turn down any contracts. Contracts E-A please turn in to Magic, Cider or Duster. S class contracts and up, please wait for me to finish inspecting the candidates and I will then talk to you." I explained. "Please help yourselves to the tables to the front of the building." At this, the 15 walked to the tables to get settled. I then looked at the remaining 25.
"All candidates please split into groups of five and sit at the tables closest to the counter and wait for me to call your table up for inspection." With this they sorted themselves into groups and went to separate tables. "Before we begin I would like to explain how this will work. When I point to your table, the candidates will approach the counter and stand right next to each other. I will inspect all of you at the same time and make my decision. The inspection is me looking into your soul to see what kind of person you are. If you fail you are to leave immediately, their will be no do overs. If you are accepted please return to your seat." I explained. Many of the ponies looked very nervous now. "If any decide to cause trouble only know that any damage inflicted upon the guild, its member or candidates will be returned ten fold." I said in a cold voice that made a lot of the candidates and contactors look at me in fear. "Do you all understand these guidelines?" I asked and all of them nodded.
I looked at Mavis and saw she was ready. "Good lets begin." I said. I pointed to the first table and the candidates all stood before me. I wasn't impressed, but one of them did stick out and Mavis floated behind him and nodded her head. I pointed at him "Whats your name?" I asked.
The stallion looked surprised. "Uh. Soarin, sir." He said. I saw he was a light blue Pegasus with a dark blue mane and tail. He also appeared to be wearing a blue jump suit with a lightning bolt shooting down it and had a pair of goggle around his neck.
"Soarin. Please return to your seat." I said and he went back with a smile on his face. "You four did not make it. Please leave." The four walked away grumbling to themselves. I then pointed at the next table and the candidates once again approached the counter. I looked to see five very familiar faces. The CMC, Applejack and Rarity. I smiled, happy to see them. Applejack and Rarity looked upset for some reason though. I chose to ignore it for now. I looked at Mavis and saw her smiling and nodded. I looked back over the group and smiled, but felt something off as I was looking at Scootaloo. I started searching her more thoroughly and felt pain and sadness. It was in such a great amount that I was worried and Mavis seemed to pick up on it to. I frowned. The group seeing this became worried. "Congratulations, you all pass." I said. Applejack and Rarity both looked distraught.
"You're going to let the fillies join! Aren't they a little to young!?" Applejack said
"I must agree darling I think it would be wise to wait until they were a little bit older. Don't you?" Rarity said in an inquiring tone.
I looked back at the young girls "And exactly how old are they?" I asked.
"Were 14 and were old enough! He already said we could join!" Scootaloo said.
"YEAH!" Both Sweetie and Applebloom said in agreement.
Rainbow then flew over and said "Maybe they are to young. I mean they are still in school."
I looked over to see Twilight waiting for my answer. I'm guessing she was thinking the same thing for Spike. "I have already decided like the girls said. That being said I was much younger when I joined. I think the youngest member in the history of the guild was only a baby. So go sit down Rainbow its not your turn." I said with a glare and she gulped and returned next to twilight. "Please return to your seats." I said. They all started walking back until "Not you Scootaloo." as I said this everyone in the hall looked at me. She got a nervous look on her face as she looked at me. "We need to talk. Please follow me. I will return shortly." I announced and I saw her friends and the mane 6 had looks of worry on their face, especially Rainbow. She followed behind me and into the kitchen were Magic was still cleaning from breakfast. I saw him look at us and nodded to tell him he could stay. Mavis followed us and I turned to look at Scootaloo with her ears splayed back.
"Scootaloo....Look at me." I looked into her eyes and when I did, tears started coming to them. "What happened to you?" I asked.
"What do you mean....I'm fine." She told me trying to act tough.
"Where do you live?" I asked. At this question she seemed to freeze and even Magic who was discreetly paying attention caught it. She started to mimic a fish and started crying. "Do you need a place to stay?" I asked her and she nodded her head. "Do you wanna talk about what happened?" She shook her head no and I decided not to pry. "Where do you live now?" at this she started bawling her eyes out and I reached down and hugged her. I looked at Mavis and saw she was heart broken for the child. Eventually she was able to calm down after a minute or two and she looked at me with wet eyes and matted fur.
"I live under the bridge by the creek." She said softly.
"Very well. How would you like to move In here?" I asked and she got a look of disbelief on her face.
"Really?" She asked softly.
I nodded. "Really." She hugged me again and started crying more softly this time. I turned to Magic "Please escort Scootaloo to the bridge and gather her things and bring them here. When you return show her to one of the single rooms." I explained. Magic only smiled and nodded. All three of us made our way back into the main hall.
When we appeared everyone saw Scootaloo crying and had concern and worry on their face. Rainbow looked angry at me until Scootaloo ran up and hugged me again and said "Thank you Laxus." I smiled as she and Magic left.
I looked back to the crowd to see many confused and other worried. "Do not be concerned. Everything if fine. Magic and Scootaloo shall return shortly." I said. "But for now we shall continue the inspections." I then pointed to the next table and felt something off about three of the five that stood in front of me. I looked at Mavis and she nodded. "Illusions are not allowed during the inspection and will hurt your chances of joining" I said. At this everyone in the room looked confused and the three mares that I called out had a nervous smile on their face. "I'm sorry, but you two need to leave." I told the other two in the group and I watched them leave before I turned back to the other three. "If royalty wants to join this guild they shall do so as themselves." I stated having figured out who was in front of me. Everyone was confused until the three turned into Celestia, Nightmare, and Luna. At this everyone present gasped and started bowing until I held my hand up. "If these three wish to join they will be the same as all of you and will follow the rules of the guild. They are going to be your equals and family as fellow members." I said. At this the three princess's smiled at me. I'm guessing for being thankful for being treated as regular ponies instead of constantly worshipping them. "Please return to your table."
They smiled at me and everyone was looking at them with wide eyes. I pointed at the next table to have them approach. In this group were two candidates that stuck out. I pointed at them. "What are your names."
"My name is Thunderlane sir!" A stallion with dark grey fur said. His mane was in a Mohawk and was alternating between the colors light blue and white. He was wearing a white tank top and black shorts.
I then looked to the other stallion. "Name's Big Mac." He stated. It fit. He was almost as tall as me. He had red fur and an orange mane and tail. He was wearing a checkered button up work shirt that was black and red and was wearing a pair of blue jeans. He also had a peace of grass in his mouth.
I looked at Mavis and saw her nod. At this point some had noticed I had been looking somewhere every time I decide on a candidate. "You two please return to your seats." They smile and bumped fist with each other while the other three left.
I pointed to the last table and Twilight, Fluttershy, Rainbow, Pinkie and Spike were all standing in front of me. As I looked over them my gaze stopped on spike and I studied him for a long time. Mavis saw this.
"Laxus....they are all worthy to join. You know that." She said as I continued to stare at him which made him nervous. "Not all dragons are bad. Just give him a chance."
With a sigh I looked down. "All five of you may return to your seats." I said without looking at them. When I looked up I saw some were eyeing me cautiously after I studied Spike for so long. At the same time Scootaloo and Magic returned and he escorted her to the living quarters.
I smiled as I looked over all of those that had passed the inspection. I also saw most of the contractors were gone with only two remaining. I figured they were probably S class contracts. "Congratulations to all of you. You passed and are well on your way to becoming Fairy Tail members. However, I have another test for you." At this everyone seemed distraught that they were gonna get kicked out. "This test will determine your rank as a wizard so you are in no danger of being kicked out. Think of it as a ranking system within the guild. I will explain more after I talk with these contractors. in the meantime, please enjoy the company of your new guild mates." I said with a smile.
As everyone started to cheer and talk amongst themselves I made my way over to the contractors. Both turned to face me and had serious expressions on their faces. "Hello gentlemen. How may I be of assistance? I take it you have an S class contract for me or higher." I said. At this they both nodded.
One of the stallions stepped forward and said "By George, your quite tall. I dare say my good stallion you must be a giant." I chuckled. "My name is Fancy Pants and I have a task that needs somepony of your skill level and based on what I've heard you'll be perfect for the job." the stallion explained. The stallion had white fur with a blue mane and tail. He was in a brown suit and seemed very sophisticated, his monocle certainly added to his appearance. He also had a very neatly trimmed mustache I noticed. "My wife and I, Fleur, are trying to have baby unfortunately, it appears she is barren." At this I quirked an eyebrow. "She is terribly distraught and a mess. I tried to convince her everything would be ok, but she has barricaded herself in our room." He said in a sad tone. "I started researching for possible cures and found that a flower exist in the Everfree and is supposed to enhance the reproductive organs making it almost impossible to fail in the creation of a child." he explained.
"So you want me to get this flower? I don't see why you would think this is an S class contract." I stated.
"Yes I see why you might think that." He said as he started flipping through a book he had brought with him. "However, it is said that this flower only grows in the Everfree forest and is almost impossible to find. This makes them one of the hardest and rarest flowers to find in the world." He then turned the book to me. "This is a picture of the flower and is said to have a faint glow. The flowers name is the Sun Burst Lily and only one flower will be required and -"
I cut him off. "This is the flower you are looking for?" I asked as I looked at the picture of the glowing red and orange flower. He just nodded. I smiled. "Well it appears it's your lucky day." I said.
"Whatever do you mean?" He asked me confused.
"I already have this flower. If you are willing to wait I can give you one." I told him with a smile.
His face seemed to be beaming with light as he smiled at me. "Really?" I just nodded. "Thank you very much old boy. For making this as easy as possible, I would like to increase the reward that I had originally put down." He said with a smile.
"Oh that's right. One sec." I turned and saw Celestia, Nightmare and Luna all looking at me. "Celestia, would you please come over here." I said causing the stallion to look confused. She walked over to us.
"Yes Laxus?" She asked.
"I declined Scribble Scroll from joining Fairy Tail. In fact I would like you to perform a background check on him and investigate any work he may have done with clients in the past." I said. At this Fancy and Celestia seemed shocked.
"May I ask why?" she said and Fancy looked just as interested.
"I guarantee you he has been stealing from some his clients. I recommend holding an investigation immediately." I said.
They both looked at me in shock. "I will trust you on this Laxus and begin the investigation later today." Celestia said.
I just nodded. "Thank you. Now do you have anyone else in mind to handle the guilds finances?" I asked.
"Twilight could probably do it and you already made her a member. Would you like to ask her?" she offered.
I turned to Twilights table and saw her laughing with her friends. "Twilight" I said gaining her attention. "Please come over here for a minute."
Twilight made her way to us and asked "Yes Laxus? Princess?"
"How good are you with finances?" I asked her.
"Oh. Um. I'm fairly confident in my skills. Why?"
"How would you like to be the guild finance director?" I asked.
She looked at me and Celestia. "Really?" She asked all excited.
"Yes I could really use someone I trust to help manage our finances and need you to take the reward I received from Fancy." I said in a mater of fact tone.
"What reward?" Celestia asked me.
"I completed his S class contract and wants to pay the guild now." I said.
"You already completed an S class contract!?" Twilight shouted which got the attention of everyone in the hall. Scootaloo and Magic were back and everyone seemed surprised that I had done so already.
I sighed "Yes I did. Fancy needed a Sun Burst Lily for the contract. I already have some so I'm going to give him one." I explained.
Celestia and twilight gasped "Laxus, even a single one of those flowers is worth 7,000 bits because they are so rare. Even in my lifetime I have only seen one." She turned to look at Fancy. "How much is the reward?" Celestia asked.
"Well it was going to be 9,000 bits originally. 7,000 like you said for the flowers and 2,000 for the work in finding the flower. However, since he has assured me he already has one and is willing to part with it....I would like to reward him 10,000 bits for finding the legendary flower and sparing my heart the worry I might have gone through." He finished.
"Your giving him 10,000 bits!?" Twilight yelled again. Once again everyone was staring at me shocked. I sighed and put my hand over her mouth and she blushed.
"Laxus, that amount of bits is what it took to build this entire building." Celestia told me.
"Very well." I said as I turned to Fancy. "Would you be willing to give the reward to Twilight?" I asked him and he nodded. "Good. Thank you for the bonus Fancy and I will retrieve your flower after I talk to this other contractor." I said to which they all nodded. Celestia decided to follow the two and work out the details.
I turned and looked at the other stallion and saw he looked very worried. He had light brown fur with a black mane and tail. He was wearing black business pant and a white button up shirt with a green tie. "I take it you also have an S class contract, Mr?" I stated.
"My name is Filthy Rich, but please call me Rich." He said as I shook his hand.
"Very well Mr. Rich, what contract do you have for me?" I asked him.
"I run a local store here in Ponyville called Barnyard Bargains. I am trying to expand my store to the Griffon kingdom, but the griffons want everything shipped in bulk and a rare type of meat that they rarely get in their homeland. I need your help in procuring the meat." he told me.
"You want me to hunt down produce for your griffon buyers?" I asked.
"Essentially yes."
"What type of meat were you thinking of that would make this an S class contact?" I inquired.
"Well they don't have any manticores in their kingdom. It's very rare to them, but not as rare as what a hydra or basilisk would be. Those are some of their favorites. Unfortunately, they are near impossible to kill much less hunt." He said.
"How much are you offering for this contract?" I asked.
"5,000 bits."
"How much if I got you a basilisk or hydra?" I asked him.
He raised and eyebrow at this. "I would be will to pay up to 20,000 bits depending on how much hydra or basilisk meat you procured. Why?" He inquired.
I smirked. "Tell me, do you know what happens if you cut off a hydras head?"
"Of course it grows ba-" he froze as he realized what I was saying.
"Yep. So heres the plan." I said. "I will find a hydra and continue to cut of some of its head to continually create and endless amount of meat so to speak. How many griffons will it take to carry the meat back is my question?" I explained.
Rich got a smile on his face. "If you promise you can do that I can order some airships to haul the meat back. If your plan works, I will be glad to pay you much more then originally discussed." He said and presented his hand.
I shook it "Make sure you have the airships here in three days. I will meet you back here at the guild to guide you back to the hydra meat." I said.
"Thank you sir Laxus and have a good day." he said as we parted.
I took his contract and the other 13 that were filled out and made my way to the second floor. I could tell everyone was watching me and Mavis decided to stay on the counter. I made it to my office rather quickly and placed the contracts on my desk and made my way back to the first floor. When I walked down the stairs everyone became quiet as they watched me. I made my way over to the basement door and placed my hand on it. I shot electricity to allow the alarm to know it was me who entered and heard some gasp from behind me. I made my down into the memorial room and looked at the giant stone for a moment. I then looked down to the flowers and grabbed one. I made my way back to the first floor and resealed the basement door. I turned and saw Fancy approaching me.
"Here you go Fancy. One flower as promised." I said.
He smiled and took it. "Thank you once again sir Laxus. The payment has been taken care of as well. Please don't hesitate to visit if you're ever in Canterlot." He said happily.
"I'll try, have a good day Fancy."
"You as well." he said.
I returned to the counter and saw that everyone was present and looking at me with an expecting something look. I smirked and said "I am now going to measure the strength of your natural magic." I said causing everyone to look at me confused. "Follow me to the back of the guild to where the MPF is." I finished with a smirk.
