Chapter 50
Chapter 50
Seated in their seats, Gray joined the table, and then the guys talked about changes in the guild. Of course, it wasn't without asking about the months spent on the trip for Aidan. He had a lot to tell ... Especially about many interesting meetings. Nevertheless, he fulfilled not only his task, but also walked through several cities of Fiore in search of rivals from different guilds. Admittedly, this experience was not a mistake. Aidan fought with many experienced wizards and gained a lot of useful experience, as well as an understanding of magic that not only affects the magic of the wizard, but also the body itself, developing his physical performance. In addition, he acquired several strong acquaintances or even those who will become strong in the future. It was all definitely worth it.
During the conversation, Cana behaved, as always, smiling and everyone quickly forgot about this strange misunderstanding at the beginning. Of course, Aidan didn't quite believe that everything went so well, but he just didn't know how to talk to Kana about it. For him, she was the first friend, most likely even the best friend. Therefore, he could only postpone this conversation, because even after making a couple of attempts during the conversation, Kana clearly was not in the mood to touch this topic. He could only sigh at it and continue to behave as before. To a certain extent, he just couldn't think about it now, all his thoughts were occupied with other things. He wanted to prepare and become stronger in order to keep everything under control in the future, as much as possible. Relationships, romance, jealousy and all that were definitely not included in the plans ...
When everyone dispersed, Aidan also left the guild. Following two newbies with a glance:
- Damn, where is it? - The white-haired girl in a rather defiant outfit shouted displeasedly. Mirajane really looked adorable, but her character ... Aidan could only shake his head with a grin, it is very doubtful that they will get along.
- I, well ... I think she's with that Natsu again. - Elfman answered hesitantly.
- Again with him ?! - Mira visibly angry, and then snorted: - Well, okay!
- Sister! - Immediately heard nearby, and then the faces of Mira and Elfman beamed. Although, the elder immediately hid it, trying to scold her sister. However, it seems that she did not even pay attention to this and skipped home.
Aidan followed them with a smile, this family seemed to him quite friendly. Mira and Lisanna were attracted by their beauty. Hair white, like the purest snow. No matter how hard Aidan tried, he couldn't hide his curiosity. He really wanted to touch these beautiful snow-white curls ...
Suddenly, he darkened, remembering the scene of bloody snow, his mood immediately deteriorated.
"Damn it..."
This time, Cana and Wendy left earlier, and Gray got ready for a mission. True, surprisingly, Laxus appeared in the guild, and then three other children arrived and then they all left the guild. Probably going on a mission too. Erza never showed up, and neither did Natsu. Aidan decided to wait for the boy at the entrance and check something. Since they had already begun to be friends with Lisanna, it could have happened that the Xids had already arrived.
Thinking about everything, Aidan sighed again.
"Kana and Erza, who would have thought ..." - pulling out of his pocket a battered photo of his mother, the guy looked at her thoughtfully: - "It will be difficult to choose someone ... And we are not so familiar. I know they are both wonderful girls, but based on their age, I somehow ... I think this is a little strange. Besides, I am definitely not ready to make such a choice now ... "
- Ohhh, damn it, well, that's what to do now ... - sighing at this strange situation, Aidan could only blame his indiscretion. It is definitely his fault, flirting and compliments, cute face, strength and character. He was well aware that he did not look like a typical child, and even because of the magic of life ... Simply put, it is only a matter of time before he has to make a choice, and he increasingly wanted to delay this moment! All this only shows indecision, and he certainly was not one of those guys. The most annoying thing was that the choice had to be made now, at some thirteen years old! And he will not be able to ignore this, otherwise everything will become even worse, and he was not going to lose any of them.
- Eh, maybe, well, him ... Why should I actually decide when to choose? Can we get everyone? It's strange, but ...
- Hey! - suddenly heard from the side. Aidan stopped in mid-sentence and turned to meet his old friend immediately.
- Natsu!
- Ha! Eid, you're back! Come on, smack ... "Natsu stopped abruptly, throwing a cloud of dust into the air. He suddenly remembered that now he had no time for fights. Looking at the large egg in his hands, the guy sighed and walked closer to his friend.
- Wow, Natsu, did you start laying eggs? Aidan laughed, patting his friend on the shoulder.
- Wh-what ?! Not! - Natsu was indignant: - I found it! True! This is a real dragon egg!
- Yah? Aidan stepped closer and examined the familiar blue patterns on the white shell. It looked almost the same as he remembered. The blue markings on the egg resembled flames. That is why, in fact, it was quite logical to assume that this is a dragon's egg, and what kind of life force emanated from it ... A common man would even envy.
"Now it's clear ..." - Aidan touched the egg and mentally chuckled: "They probably live more people and, at the same time, have innate magic."
Thanks to the magic of life, Aidan could do a lot, for example - just instinctively feel the structures of organisms and quite simply determine their shortcomings. This is how he was able to restore Erza's eye, not understanding at all any structure of the human body. The magic itself made it possible for him to simply act on the cells. So he could grow plants or even repair damaged tissues. Of course, as long as they were alive, or in contact with something alive.
That is why, just by touching the life inside the egg, Aidan could easily sense some of the clues. For example, the approximate hatching time of a baby.
"Hmm, he's not more than a month left ... It looks like I'm on time. I think it's worth going for Charlie tomorrow. "
- Well, how do you like it? Natsu finally asked, since Aidan had been silent for too long and was touching the egg.
"It's hardly a dragon, but it's definitely something magical.
- Yes? - Natsu looked at his friend doubtfully: - Maybe ...
"Okay," Aidan stroked the warm shell and patted his friend on the shoulder. "Take care of him, and I'll go to bed.
- Oh, well, okay ... Good luck!
- Yeah, and you, don't show it to the old man, otherwise it will fry!
- Uh! What more!
Laughing, Aidan headed home.
