Now, sitting on the beach of Halawai Town, Zenith felt the tension slowly leaving his body. The warm sun and the wooshing sound of the ocean providing the perfect backdrop for relaxation. He had found a quiet spot away from the more crowded areas, a place where he could sit under the shade of a palm tree and lose himself in a book. The only person nearby was a striking elf with red hair. Nodding to her to be polite he delved into his book. The pages of the book he had brought with him rustled in the light breeze, and Zenith found himself smiling faintly. The book was a story about a lonely star finding his cluster.

He remembered his bag next to him and remembered the suit he had brought with him. Not particularly adept at social etiquette, he instinctively began to put on the suit and hat, carefully brushing off any potential sand. The transformation was almost comical in its abruptness. "There we go," he said, adjusting the hat on his head before turning back to the woman. "Sorry about that. How may I help you?" He did his best to keep his expression neutral, but the intrigue was clear in his eyes as he tried not to stare too much at the Exceed. It was taking all his effort not to let his curiosity get the better of him, but he maintained his composure mostly.
Zenith has donned the Monopoly.

Carla spoke out to the man. "My name is Carla I serve at the side of Vex as her companion." The exceed spoke well and she was calm with her words as she wasn't worried about this man as Vex seemed un worried by him. The wood elf woman then spoke as she was asked about what she needed help with. "I don't need any help I was just out meeting new people." He words were true and were give with no expectation of anything that she would want from the man as he was just someone that had looked her way so she was just talking to him to see if she can be that way.

He gestured to the spot beside him. "Why don't you both join me? I brought some picnic food and drinks, but nothing fancy, it’s nice to share though." Zenith set his book aside, carefully placing it out of the way, and began unpacking the food. There were sandwiches, fruit, and a couple of bottles of chilled juice, simple but tasty and sasiating. As he laid everything out, he looked up at Vex and Carla. "I’m still adjusting to the chaos of guild life, so I thought a quiet vacation here would help before diving into that world. But it’s always nice to meet new people in the process." He paused, taking a moment to observe them both before continuing. "So, what brings you two to Luluhawa Island? I’m curious to learn more about you both."
He hoped his invitation would be well received, and that this chance meeting might lead to a pleasant conversation, something he could use to ease back into the social dynamics he knew he would have to face soon enough.

She knows she has been in two guilds in her time in Fiore the dark guild Eternal Nightmare which is why most people are scared of her, and then she was now a member of a neutral guild Guardia Compagnia the change was a bit big for her as she had to work a bit harder to turn her rep around as she couldn't just instantly drag the new guild down into the mud because she was a known member of the dark guild before she joined them. "I came figuring that this island was a place people would be more relaxed and not going to hugely have their guards up, so easier to meet and interact with people without having too many issues pop up." She figured that being honest was just the better way of going about this and she got a bit of juice and so did Carla as they were not trying to be rude to the man that had offered them somethings.

After pouring himself a glass of juice, Zenith took a sip and carried on. "Why would people have their guards up and what kind of issues?" With a genuine expression, he glanced at Vex and raised his glass. "Here is where I hope you'll find what you're looking for. We both seem to be making different adjustments, from the sound of it. We should cherish these times when we can just chat and share without interruptions."

Once he asked why people would have their guards up around her she figured it was just better to admit it. "I use to be part of a dark guild and I have a cult following. So people often think I am going to sacrifice them or force them into my cult." She doubted the man would really judge her on it but then again she was never one hundred percent sure about the people that were near her which could just be wolves in sheep's clothing.

Zenith didn't react in astonishment or condemnation as Vex went on to disclose her prior participation with a dark guild and the cult that still followed her. Rather, he kept his composure and gave her comments careful thought. In a minute, he remarked, "I see," in a neutral but sympathetic tone. "That clarifies why people could be cautious in your presence. However, in all honesty, everyone has a past; what really counts is what you do right now. Besides I've read some interesting books on cults. Don't agree with them, but they are fascinating from a sociological aspect." He'd look her in the eyes. "To attempt to move on from something like that and start over requires a lot of strength. I can see why you might want to visit a place like this, where individuals might be less likely to pass judgment based on your past experiences and more willing to be open. I appreciate that you're attempting, even though I won't pretend to understand."
Pausing, Zenith looked down at the food he had cooked and then back at Vex. "In my case, I'm still figuring things out. Admittedly, it was a little scary at first to join Fairy Tail. However, I reason that if someone like you can make a fresh start and turn things around, perhaps I can too." He took up his drink and held it up a little, like he was toasting. "Now, let's celebrate fresh starts. for the benefit of us both."

She looked at the man trying to make a toast to them making a restart and she toasts with him as well as the exceed does as well. Carla then speaks up. "So what made you join Fairy Tail? Their fame? Their rep or was it something else?" The exceed knew the man kept speaking of coming from a book store basement and she wondered if the man had heard of the guild past glories and how it use to be a very busy guild or if that was just the closest guild to his basement and that was why he had joined the guild for as this guy seemed a bit to timid for the loud and Proud Fairy Tail.

Zenith's demeanor darkened a little when he mentioned the church, brow furrowing and seemed to have shadows pass across his face, as if he unconsciously was absorbing the light in the area. When the church was mentioned, unpleasant memories flooded back, and his normally composed expression faltered for an instant. He continued, his voice becoming softer as if attempting to ignore the ideas, "It's... complicated." Realizing he had let the conversation take a darker turn, Zenith quickly tried to recover. “But Fairy Tail seemed like a good fit,” he continued, attempting to bring back the lightness in his voice. “It’s a place where I can learn, grow, and maybe make a difference. That’s all I really want.”

"Is there anything that you are thinking you will look forward to in the guild part of your life?" Vex figured that it wasn't a bad thing to ask as she was sure there must be something that he was excited about in the coming times about it but she also knows that she needed to be careful as she knows that getting one to over excited could lead to them just being very disappointed in the end when it doesn't get to the level of where they hoped it would be for them. The ocean breeze makes her hair flutter a little.

He paused, thinking that her having used to been in a dark guild might have knowledge others don't so he'd tell her about what happened. Maybe she'd have insight or could point him in a direction. “I got a mysterious package in the mail. The package contained an ancient-looking tome, bound in weathered leather and sealed with a wax emblem that bore the faint imprint of the Illuminian Church's seal. The package had no return address. When I opened it the pages began to glow and the letters lifted off the pages and flew into me basically. Then I knew magic...I've spent months trying to find out who sent it to me but have come up with dead end after dead end."

"Maybe who ever your parents were set it up for you to get it at a certain age or maybe it was a god setting something in motion." She couldn't be fully sure about it as she was just taking a guess at it as she would think that he might have been able to realize if someone of his blood line was around him.
Sat Aug 24, 2024 10:58 am
“It’s possible, I’ve wondered about that too. Whether it was my parents or something greater that decided I should have these powers. It’s hard not to think there’s a purpose behind it, especially when it just…happens out of nowhere. But I guess I’ll never really know unless I dig deeper. It sounds like you’ve had to deal with a lot, too. Having your magic tainted like that…I can’t imagine how difficult that must be. Is it something you can purify?”

Carla looked at them and she rubbed her chin. "Or it could be a trap that someone was setting you up or just trying to earn your favor toward Illumin." The exceed was not sure that her comments were good or not but she figured that she should share her thoughts about it as there was no reason that she shouldn't tell them that they might both be just looking at it in to much of a faith filled light and not the dangers that might be there waiting for them to be blinded enough to attack.
Sun Aug 25, 2024 8:16 am
In the end, it wasn’t the type of magic she had that mattered, but how she chose to wield it. But Carla bought up a good point. But it would be a risky and long gambit to lay a trap for a baby. Or was the trap to maybe draw in his mother who vanished after he was born? Now his mind was wondering all kinds of things thanks to Carla. Zenith would give a nod to Carla and take a thinking pose.

Carla looked at the man. "What ever way we all look at this we know that we need to make this count and not become complacent of the danger any of us might be in." Carla didn't know what it was but she could tell that the man had thought about her words deeply and he had formed some kind of concern with it all maybe there was more about this man that he hadn't told them or let them in on. Carla took some of the food and he ate it while she waited for the man to tell them what might have crossed his mind from this all as she knows something was going on from the look on the man's face but she had no idea what or how deep that might go.
Sun Aug 25, 2024 9:44 pm
He took a moment, chewing over his thoughts just like Carla was with her food. Sighing he'd make sure everyone was topped off and well fed with the snacks. “You’re both right,” Zenith finally said, his tone a bit more cheery than one would think it should be. “There’s a lot we don’t know, and that makes it dangerous. I’ve been thinking about what Carla said earlier, about how this could all be some kind of trap. It’s something I’ve worried about too. My powers just… showed up one day, and I’ve never really understood why. It’s possible there’s something more going on, something that could be dangerous not just to me, but to everyone around me.” He paused, glancing at Vex. “I don’t want to sound paranoid, but we need to be careful. Whether it’s the void or something else, we can’t let our guard down. We have to stay in control, like you said, Vex. And if there’s anything I can do to help, to make sure we don’t fall into any traps, I’m in.”
I get the feeling you're quite a bit more skilled in magic than I am, so not sure how much help I could even be to you, but I'm here if you need. That said. Let's enjoy the evening, talk about more pleasant things. Did you hear about the book called......" Zenith would trail off about the most recent book he had read about how Magnoila could actually change where it's buildings where and reshape itself and ramble on about books, and the stories he has had.

She sipped her drink then spoke. "Yeah I had heard about that, it seems it is for the city's protection and gives the Fairy Tail guild a straight shot out if they need to go and deal with trouble makers, plus strong mages can sometimes be reckless." She knows that a strong mage can cause a lot of death and trouble if they were to just be reckless and destroy something just for the fun of it and blame it on something else and get away with it like a child that doesn't know it's own strength.

Zenith would make sure everyone was given more drink and snacks if they wanted. He'd then remember he had a card with Book Lands address on it. Pulling it out he'd present it to Vex. "Here, if you're ever in Magnoila this is our business card. This particular card gets you one book free, as long as it's not a magic spell tome."

"So what would you like to do now Vex? I know we just met but we could sit and watch or meet up another time?"
