WHO: OPEN
WHEN: 6/7
WHERE: Salduba Ruins, Attleton
WHAT: Dungeon crawl for a miracle cure herb requested by a sickly young girl. Hunt for it and keep it or hunt for it and turn it in for monies! (or anyone who just wants to explore a ruin)

Once the directions to the Salduba Ruins in Attleton were acquired, it took almost half the day to actually reach said ruins. Located well outside of any kind of civilization, the ruins appeared to have been once been an old foreste keep - thick vines and moss cover the high walls, though the ground is uneven, cracked in places- parts of the keep itself collapsed from attacks and one can presume, as series of earthquakes. Though nature is clearly attempting to reclaim the area over what has been built and left in this place, there are two obvious entrances to the Keep - one on the South wall and one on the North; A high arched doorway that leads into what's left of the building proper.

Once inside the keep the air will feel, smell and taste dusty and stale through minimal circulation - there's no lighting to guide your way, and the restless sound of footsteps - man or animal (or perhaps manimal). The hall branches off towards the eastern and western side of the Keep, both paths leading towards the upper and lower floors and the heart of the keep in question. But the Keep though abandoned by its original owners, is not entirely empty - one may encounter bandits, or even hostile creatures; not only that, but the halls and rooms are not the safest any longer. Each room may be booby trapped, either by the new residents or the old, and those traps may trigger at the slightest provocation. However, if you're lucky enough to survive, you might find treasures to reward your curiosity.

[ OOC: Tag into any of the four locations to explore~! Feel free to threadjack or team up with others joining in. But be caaaaaaaaareful~ ]

[ Zeref is typically not the type of mage to accept jobs for money. Still, he reads the paper every so often, hoping to find a lead on who really controls this world, or a mention of any of his demons or Fairy Tail's exploits. But when he saw a mention of the ruins and there being 'treasure' there, Zeref couldn't resist, not out of a thirst for riches, but out of the hopes of discovering a bit more about the magic native to this world.

Zeref left a message on Silver's necklace that he would be here. Aside from, arguably, Mavis, Lucy, Suigintou, Ruby, and Ishtar, Silver was probably the closest thing Zeref had to a real ally, here, if only because Silver was one of the demons from his Books. He makes his way towards the southern entrance from the east, alone. There's a strange presence emanating from the ruins. Zeref glances down at the ground, the closer he gets to the entrance. ]

The ground has been disturbed, recently.

[ He muses. You don't live on an island like Tenroujima, which is also full of monsters, without learning to pick up on details like that, especially when ~~his~~ everyone else's lives depend on him being able to avoid confrontations like that.

Zeref passes through the archway, a little bit more on guard than he was before. Either other treasure hunters have beaten him to the punch, or these ruins are inhabited. Either way, it's clear to him that he is not here alone. ]

[ Well, in the next room, it's... certainly not a monster or bandit. It's Mavis!

She's examining the floors herself, but glances over when Zeref shows up. A smile much too bright for greeting the world's deadliest wizard appears on her face. ]

Zeref! What a surprise to see you here.

[ He felt the all-too-familiar presence just seconds before he heard that voice. Actually seeing and hearing Mavis was something he still isn't quite used to, even after the swimming incident. As soon as Zeref saw her, he took a moment to scan her surroundings. No other members of Fairy Tail were nearby? Granted, Mavis didn't exactly need help, but seeing her in a place like this - alone, especially with Fairy Tail's huge emphasis on teamwork and unity - was slightly odd. Still, Zeref returns her smile, in his own way. ]

I didn't expect to see you here either, Mavis. [ He visibly relaxes. He trusts a medicinal herb in Fairy Tail's hands much more than he did in his own, considering it could die - and likely be rendered useless - at a moment's notice. ]

None of the others came with you?

[Laharl found himself at the ruins specifically for the reason that was advertised: money. After all, his Netherworld ran on money pretty much, and greed was a very highly prized trait in a demon. He'd been wandering almost aimlessly around the outside of the ruins, trying to see if there were any shortcuts, but when he decided the only obvious entrances were the only ones, he'd followed Zeref inside, arms crossed, keeping his aura to a minimum. Might as well exploit his vassals, eh?]

Eh, who needs the others? You've got me, and that's more than enough for this place.

[ Hey, who's the short kid? ~~Mavis, you're just as short and look just as young, shut up.~~ ]

And who's this? [ She glances at Zeref. ] Making friends?

But no, none of Fairy Tail's members were in the building when they came by with the notice. [ They ARE a guild, so people tended to come by with fliers for missions. ] I thought I would do a little investigating.
