An Iron Galaxy. ¤ Gajeel Redfox Love Story

Vol 1. Back To Where It All Began #8

As the giant disappeared, she still follows its footsteps. Did it disappear or just get invisible? Amy wonders if it might left using either some sort of portal or magic. She needs these kind of answers. Her facial expression changes.. Suddenly she remembers what the anomaly said two days ago.. 
"Skies of black and blue with an endless reach, a creature of darkness wanders this land. Trapped on earth's surface, forced by wizards of destruction. It's lost."
The answer is right there! This creature must be lost, trapped in a world it does not belong in.. This must be the doing of a dark guild. But which guild would that be..?  

Amy  turns around and lifts her face towards the fading night sky. She folds her hands together and casts the spell.
"Light of the stars.. Grant me wisdom. Hoshi no Hikari." A small and thin beam of light shoots from her hands into the sky. Only seconds later, a similar beam of light returns and an anomaly appears to her call. 
"The lights of the night disappear, the sun has risen. The map in the sky cannot be read. Without it, it remains lost and bound to live where it does not belong." The soft, heavenly voice spoke. "How can I guide it?" Amy asks.
"Use the map in the sky." The anomaly speaks. Amy nods, slightly confused about the advice but she thanks the heavenly body anyway. As Amy bows towards the light, it shoots back into the sky, towards the stars. 

'The map in the sky..' Amy repeats over and over in her mind. She might have to sit out another day. But she is clueless of how to guide it.. Not to mention where this creature belongs too. She could never accomplish this mission on her own. Or so she believes. Amy sighs deeply. Her stomach growls to her, requesting nutrition.
"Maybe I'll find some food in town.." She speaks to herself, grabbing for her stomach. 
Amy thinks it over, whether or not to go back to town for now. It might be best that she did if she does not want to pass out later or become low on energy.. 

After arriving in town she first tries the door of Maria's house, but it's locked. She knew the chance of door being locked was inevitable. Next up she tries the market place. As expected the market place is deserted. You would almost expect a tumble weed to roll across the market. Strangely, it's both eerie and peaceful. No loud noises, no trafficking from carriages or travellers, no kids playing or shopkeepers trying to make a sale. As she walks through the market she noticed a stall with fruit! She heads over. Most of the fruit is still good to eat. She takes a few apples, a small melon and a small crate of berries. There is no time to be picky. Amy isn't a lover for fruits but she has to eat something.

Later that day Amy found an open shop that sells food, but drinks also. She heads in. The shop owner must have been unaware that he never closed off the shop.. Amy decided to leave a little note and some money behind the counter.
'It's only fair to do so.' She thinks to herself. 

"I'm sorry you had evacuate. I took some food and left some money for you. I really enjoyed the food. I hope 10.000 jewels will cover it." The note says.
Amy knows 10.000 jewels is a bit much, but the last thing Amy cares about it money. From all the jobs she did, she must have saved up to a fortune by now..
