Kaby Melon
has hired Lucy and Natsu to retrieve a special book and destroy it for
two million jewels from Duke Everlue. In Duke Everlue's mansion, he has
a group of fairly ugly maids that he uses for protection. Lucy tries to
get hired on, but he says that she is too ugly. Duke Everlue himself
looks like a strange version of Tweedle Dee, or Tweedle Dum, from Alice
in Wonderland and his mustache appears to grow out of his nostrils. He
thinks ugly women are pretty and pretty women are ugly. Weird, huh?
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
So, Lucy and Natsu sneak into the
mansion and are discovered by the homely maids, who attack them.
Defeating the maids, they make there way to the library where they find
the book entitled Daybreak, which was written by Kaby Melon. That
is when Duke Everlue attacks. He calls for reinforcements, which are the
Vanish Brothers, members of the the Southern Wolf bodyguard guild.
Later, Ezra Scarlet returns to the Fairy Tail guild. Everyone, and I
mean everyone, seems to be afraid of this armor-wearing wizard,
especially Loke and Gray Fullbuster. She has heard some disturbing
rumors about Eisenwald guild, which should have disbanded because the
council put a stop to them. They had been performing assassinations for
people who pay them. They were expelled from the League six years ago
and are now considered a dark guild. Their leader is the Death God,
Erigor, and he is after a Lullaby flute. When a Lullaby flute is played,
it uses death magic to kill anyone that hears the music. Ezra tells Gray
and Natsu, who are quite the rivals themselves because Natsu's magic is
based on fire while Gray's magic is based on ice, that they will be
accompanying her on this mission. Mira asks Lucy is she will tag along
and keep and eye on the two boys to help them avoid their constant
fighting.
On the train, Natsu has motion sickness. When they arrive at
their destination, they all disembark from the train, but forget about
Natsu. When Natsu awakens, still sick because the train is moving again,
and a member of the Eisenwald guild is sitting across from him. Before
he knows what is going one, they guy's shadow attacks Natsu.
