Inviting trouble

You could not risk losing this chance to recruit a mage, no matter what magic he uses you had to start somewhere. With that in mind, you walk over to the young man still looking at the fairy tail guild door with his arms crossed before introducing yourself

"Hi I'm Morgan Dragunov what's your name?"

The young man looks at you with a wondering look in his ocean blue eyes perhaps surprised he's being talking too or cautious about random people who just introduce themselves to him. Either way, he introduces himself back as Marcus Copper, holding his right hand out to shake which you do only to suddenly feel it, his magic power. It felt huge perhaps even more powerful than your own. But then again, he did seem to survive being booted out of fairy tail a grand total of five times while you were here so you could see why his power would be this high.

However, while you were thinking you forgot to let go of his hand making you both standing there holding hands for a bit longer than any handshake should last. Marcus snap you out of your thinking by asking if your going to let go today or should he book a room for two tonight?

Hearing this you let go of his right hand at once before with a cough to hide your embarrassment over the whole matter you ask him if he would like to join your guild?

For a moment Marcus stays quiet only to suddenly then burst into laughter giving you a playful slap on the back as he says quite loudly that you are just pulling his leg as there is no way someone like you has a guild. This angers you right away as you're not joking and you tell him that saying you needed to create a guild because no other guild would accept you with your magic.

Sadly this however only make Marcus laugh harder with him joking after that you must throw rubber ducks as a spell to be that much of a reject from guilds. Now your blood boils as in your mind no matter a mages magic, they could become something if they worked hard enough and no one had the right to judge others magic especially someone who just got the boot from fairy tail.

"Hey, you take that back! My magic may not be a toy making, but no one has the right to judge mages magic."

You're telling off however, changes the laughing Marcus into an overconfident young man who now squares up to you saying he believes otherwise especially as an artificial Earth Dragon Slayer. "Hah, yeah right" you don't believe him and you tell the young man this only to suddenly feel the stone walkway under your feet beginning to shake.

Quickly you look to see brown magic aura flying around Marcus hand who with a grin suddenly swing his arms up making the ground under your feet shot up with you still on it. You quickly hit the deck to keep your balance hearing Marcus shout up to you.

"Hah, I knew you did not believe me. Most people don't until they're in your position. So how are going to get down now Mr. doubter?"

Oh, you had a way and you are happy to share it with Marcus. With a shadow dragon roar, you jump off the raised path and slowly descend by using your thick black shadow dragon breath to slow your fall. Poor Marcus could not believe what he is seeing and neither can the passersby who stare in amazement as you land safely on the ground with a grin on her face as Marcus returns the stone pathway to its original position.

"So you ready to join my guild yet?" You ask knowing there's little chance your little showing of magic would convince such a mage yet to your surprise he does.

"Ha alright I think I can cope with being under the command of a fellow dragon slayer but I've got to ask. Are you a natural or a 'faker' like myself?"

Answering this question with a smile, you tell Marcus that you're, as he calls it, a fake dragon slayer, but you did not want to be painted as a bad guy. As such you started a guild to do that making your fellow fake Slayer nods in agreement. It seems you have found your first recruit, but thanks to yours and his public showing of your skill you both soon find yourself fleeing from a bunch of rune knights before finding your way back on the train toward your hometown.

Sitting down now with Marcus in a train cart out of breath and just happy to be away from the knights and magnolia, you decide you should ask your new mage a question to get to know him better. But what do you ask?
