Chapter 3
Fairy Tail
Duryn smiled as he walked around Magnolia. Everything seemed so interesting around him still. He stopped in front of a fishmonger shop and walked in.
“Hello Mr. Daniels” Duryn smiled to the fishmonger.
Mr. Daniels looked at Duryn closely “Ah Duryn! Long time no see! Now you have grown a lot! How old are you now?”
“I am 12 now” Duryn said to Mr. Daniels “I’m turning 13 soon.”
“Ah! Congratulations!” Mr. Daniels smiled “So what brings you here today?”
“Oh yes.. I want to purchase..” He said as he counted his fingers “20 Fishes!”
“20?” Mr. Daniels smiled at Duryn “Why do you need that much?” He said as he started cutting the fishes’ heads off.
Duryn smiled “It’s for my friend and also for me. We are going to share it.”
“Ah. I see” Mr. Daniels nodded and handed Duryn a black bag “That will be 40 Jewels, little boy.”
“40 Jewels.. all right” Duryn smiled and gave him 50 Jewels “Here you go”
Mr. Daniels nodded and took the 50 Jewels and gave him 10 Jewels back. He printed out a receipt “Here you go.”
Duryn smiled and took the receipt and the bag “Thank you Mr!” He ran out.

Natsu and Happy was sitting down near a river, waiting for Duryn.
Happy sighed and pouted “I’m going to die! I’m too hungry!!”
Natsu sighed as his stomach growled “Me.. too”
Duryn smiled as he sneaked behind them and surprised them “Hey you guys! I’m back!”
Natsu and Happy jumped up so high that they fell down face front in the water. They both gurgled and came out of the water.
“Why did you do that for?!” Natsu and Happy both shouted out aloud
“Eh.” Duryn chuckled “I felt like it.” He said as he pulled them out of the water “I got the fishes that you guys asked for”
Natsu and Happy grinned widely “REALLY?”
Duryn nodded and showed Happy and Natsu the black bag “Twenty fishes in here.”
Happy dived in and started eating aloud “YUMMY!!!” He shouted
Natsu shouted “HAPPY! I have to eat too!!” He said, trying to pull out Happy.
Duryn rolled his eyes and chuckled and dropped the bag on the floor.
“I’m going to go now” Duryn said as he yawned and started walking.
Natsu shouted “Wait!! Before you go!”
“What is it this time?” Duryn said, a bit annoyed “I’m not buying more things for you!”
“It’s not that!” Natsu and Happy, both smiled, “Join Fairy Tail!” They said as they showed Duryn their guild mark.
Duryn grinned and shook his head “No thank you.”
Natsu pleaded “But you promised!! When we were young?!”
Duryn sighed “I don’t want to.. didn’t I tell you? That my foster father was killed by a guild member?”
Natsu sighed “I already know! But still!! It would be more better if you were in!”
Duryn smiled “Really? Then do something for me yeah?”
Natsu nodded happily “Anything! Just say so!”
Duryn smiled and shook his head “Then... go to every library and search for the book: Water Dragon. It’s a rare book”
Natsu nodded and took Happy “Let’s go!” They both sped off to a nearby library.
Duryn chuckled and took the book out “This is the only book.. oh well I had my fun” He started walking to the guild, that was named Fairy Tail.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Duryn walked in and there was lots of people that he never saw before. There was Laxus, Erza, Mirajane, Cana and lots of others.
Duryn gulped and walked to the man who was short. He seemed like the master.
“Hello Mister. I would like to join Fairy Tail, if possible?” Duryn asked
The man looked up at him and grinned “Of course! What’s your name boy?”
“My name is Duryn.” Duryn smiled, now more comfortable talking to this little man.
“Duryn eh? Well I’m the Master here! I am Makarov!” Master Makarov smiled
“Oh. I didn’t know that you were the master. I thought you would be tall!” Duryn chuckled
Makarov stared at Duryn but shook his head “Where do you want your Guild Mark and what color do you want it in?”
“Oh.. uhm.. in my right shoulder and Dark Green” Duryn smiled and bend down so he could stamp it.
“There you go!” Makarov said as he stamped Duryn’s shoulder “Welcome to Fairy Tail! Duryn!”
Everyone except Laxus shouted “Welcome to Fairy Tail!!!”
Natsu came in “Huh? We got a newbie?” He looked at Duryn “What?! You’re the newbie!?”
Duryn nodded “Yup! I’m one of you guys now!”
Natsu grinned widely and hugged him “FINALLY!”
Everyone laughed at that moment, and finally, Duryn found a new place that he could call “home”
