I plan on redoing my other Fairy Tail story, but in the meantime, I've had this idea in my head for a while now. Follow the adventure of Rues Daulen, a master Telepath, as he completes a job given to him by a mysterious figure: Discover any possible loved ones of the members of Fairy Tail.
For clarification, the story will be told from his point of view.
Speech will be "in quotes, like this," like a normal story.
Rues' thoughts will be like this, italicized.
And, when he uses his ability to read someone's mind, it will appear in bold, like this text.
Without further ado, here we go. Please, enjoy.
This job was going to be easy, I smugly think to myself as the old, short leader of Fairy Tail stares at me.
This was the second time the council sent me to Fairy Tail, but the first time they did so, around 20 members were missing. My job was simple back then, as there were so few members. This time, though, things were going to be a little more...interesting.
Just what do I do? Allow me to introduce myself to you, dear reader. I am Rues Daulen, Captain of Interrogation and Criminal Profiling. Most believe my ability lies in my obscene levels of perception. While the praise makes me happy, I'm afraid it's nothing of the sort. You see, my magic allows me to read anyone's mind with the greatest of ease. In fact, too much. Had some trouble when I was first developing this skill, and started reading everyone's mind without wanting to. I was quite overwhelmed when I walked into a crowded area, naturally.
After some time, though, I learned to turn my magic on and off. I then found ways I could use my ability to earn money, and before long, I found myself in the Magic Council. I told my superiors of my magic right away, just to be safe, but all my subordinates think I'm just that amazing!
Returning to why I'm here, though, my mission is to perform a mental analysis on each of the members of Fairy Tail that have returned, and a couple of the ones that stayed behind. Sounds simple, right?
Well, nothing is ever easy in my life, you see. When I first arrived in Magnolia, I was approached by a large man in a baggy cloak. As I passed by him, he bumped into my arm, and, a few seconds later, I discovered that the man left a note in my hand.
Rues
If you want 10,000,000 Jewels, then, as you perform your examinations, discern any possible romantic options for every possible member.
-Jarm
That may be the most random request ever, and I don't even know who this Jarm fellow is...but I have been lacking in Jewels, lately...
And so, after pretty much no morale debate, I find myself with two jobs, my main job, and this secret little one.
Returning from my thoughts, I hand Mr. Dreyar my list of victims-I mean patients, after he asks for it.
"And so," he at last continues his speech to his guild, "when I call your name, you and Mr. Daulen here-"
"Please," I interrupt him, and turn towards the mages who have gathered, "Call me Rues."
The old man clears his throat before continuing. "You and Rues will go into the small office over there, and you will answer his questions to the best of your ability. Worry not, they are simple routine psychology questions."
"What's that mean?" I heard a male's voice ask.
"It means questions about your brain. Not that you'd have much to answer, Natsu." That voice was definitely female.
"Lucy!" the male, Natsu's voice, sounds almost hurt. I hold in a chuckle.
This was going to be fun.
"First," I shout looking down at my list. Being an official document, the last names are listed first. "Alberona, Cana!"
