Happy Blue Birthday, Julius!

Running across her little home which she had made in a tree, the young silvernette hurriedly wrapped an object she had made herself in a piece of blue fabric which had been the only material she had in order to fulfill her task. Of course being excited, Hana had began to rush herself unable to wait for what lyed ahead. As the team had all been aware of, the day had come where it was time to celebrate the birth of FairyTail's fellow and cheerful guildmate Julius. She hadn't really been to a birthday party before due to being raised most of her childhood by a dragon, in which human celebrations such as this just weren't familiar with her. Even so, she had bugged most everybody in the guild (especially Sorano) on information of birthday parties and how to celebrate them. Looking out beyond the trees of her new guild hall, she quickly jumped down with Tamka atop her head and ran to where the party was being held, glomping Sorano in excitement as soon as she got there.

Julius woke up with a even more bigger and brighter smile then usual. It was Julius' birthday and he was greeted by his parrot. Oi good morning Julius-kun! Happy birthday mate! Julius hugged Squable almost to death. Thank you Squable! Julius got up and dressed himself before running off towards the guild.

Julius looked inside the guild and every thing was blue inside: the tablecloths, the ballons and even the ribbons. And up in the air there was a banner saying 'happy birthday Julius.' Julius was at the edge of tears but had to hold them back since he was afraid he'd might flood the guild with his tears. Guild members would walk up towards Julius to congratulate him.

There was a river nearby the guild hall's location, based on its present location. In the middle of a peaceful silence, you would be able to hear splashes that came from Mura's hand as he'd stuck them underwater to search for a quite specific thing. His samurai spirit and dragon spirit couldn't but spectate in curiosity, wondering about exactly what he was searching for. An hour had already went, before Zirconis took initiative to ask: "So... what exactly are you searching for, meat?" Without moving his eyes away, neither changing his actions, Mura answered: "Something for Julius. It's his birthday, after all." Now, the dragon was all but familiar wiht human celebrities (reference to Hana's post, lol), so its reply was a brief sweatdrop down its floating face. However, Kyuken was just as confused. "Umm... are you searching for a gift? In the river... you mean..?" the samurai asked. At the moment, Mura had gotten his hands on what felt to be a rock; he eargerly hoped that it was what he was looking for. With a tough pull, he moved it up of the water, only to spot that it was a regular rock. A sigh of letdown followed. "Back at Midi, they used to have bluish gems underwater..." he explained. The samurai was familiar with that phenomenon back at their home country, while the dragon laughed out. "HAH! As if it's the same everywhere... also, what makes you think that you could just pull up such thing as gems from a damn river?" it spoke to him with a rather harsh voice. Mura felt as if darts penetrated his back when he said that, while landing his butt on the dirty ground. "We gotta give him something... I can't go back to the city, you know..." he told them, "And he sure loves the color blue..." Now, he knew exactly what kind of gem that was blue, due to his childhood memories of finding them in rivers; however, he was in a forest. Far away from Midi. The conditions were different, so perhaps he had to check underground. The issue, though, was that he didn't have any equipment to dig. Therefore, the shaman went deep into the forest as he had most of the dawn and morning to find the special present to Julius.

He did find a cave after walking for a quarter. It was a classic one, a round opening and pitch-black inside. "Hm... let's begin and mine it ourselves, then," he spoke up, while moving his feet into the cave. You could hear the dragon ask out: "But... are you even sure that there are 'blue' gems in there?" before they disappeared into the strange cave that, despite the appearance, wasn't deserted...

Time went, and somehow, the shaman whose leggings and shirt was torn apart, but without any fatal bruises or anything, returned to the guild hall with what seemed to be a blue, brittle stone. He smiled, ignoring the fact that he did go a far way to get this. All that was left was for Julius to accept his gift; please, accept his gift. "Heh, happy birthday, buddy..!" he greeted Julius and the others, while holding the stone behind his back as a surprise. He didn't really have time to cover it up or anything, but he was quite convinced that it was a special stone. The same kind that he loved to find in the rivers back home. Meanwhile, his two spirits would give a thumb-up to Julius as their way to say 'Happy Birthday' to a still alive boy...
