Baby Sitting [Closed D rank mission]

The Job:

Faust had saw an ad in the paper for a small family that needed the help of a mage to baby sit their “inhuman” child, whatever that meant. They had left a number that Faust had called earlier that day he was expected to arrive there soon, the parents really wanted to get out of the house as soon as they could to go on their date night. He would be at the home in a few minutes but it would still take him some time to even get to Magnolia from the train ride from Clover. He had been in Clover for a day or so but left after growing bored with the town an nervous of the guild finally noticing him for who and what he really was. He tapped his foot impatiently on the ground of the train hoping that for some reason that action would speed up its course. He had been stuck on trains far too often lately, seemed that he was always on one these days. He had traveled around most of Fiore though these past few days which was nice. He was going to return to the guild soon to show that he had grown in strength and skill since his short trip started.

He knew that he was a new member to the guild and a rather weak member but he really hoped to change that. He wanted to be able to gain magical strength quick and felt it growing now. He knew that he was getting stronger but was still a bit away from really being an asset to the guild. All he could hope for now was to at least watch and wait to grow stronger so that he could really cause havoc with the other upper ranks. He had been doing so many odd jobs these day that he was having a hard time keeping track of them all. He wanted to return and possibly gain a partner or teammate that compliments his magic’s skills and abilities, whatever those may be. Faust had yet to really fight any notable mages since coming to Fiore he needed to test his strength in one way or another sooner or later. The train would be getting to Magnolia soon, he was getting antsy on getting off. He wanted to be under the wide open sky and where he could stretch his body.

Magnolia was the home of Fairy Tail, again a rather strong light guild that had a grudge against Savage Skull after what we did to their town. He half expected the town to be in ruins when he saw it. He had not paid too much attention to the town when he rode through it earlier on the train. Now as this train ride approached Magnolia Faust kept his eyes peeled on the horizon. As the forest broke way the town of Magnolia was able to be seen off in the distance. There were some signs of damage to the city that was for sure but it looked like the rebuild had got a good chunk of it. The only thing that Faust noticed was that an outer wall was crumpling and a large chunk of a tower missing. The train rolled into the station coming to a stop. Faust exited the train and headed towards the home of the child he needed to baby sit. He really had no experience with children so this was going to be an interesting day, the youngest person Faust has ever been with was his own self.

The walk in Magnolia was rather peaceful, there was not many people pushing each other just to walk around. The city was rather beautiful, it had a great trade network and a strong guild here the town was a business owner’s dream town. Small businesses were hugely successful in Magnolia. Faust walked the streets looking over the buildings and the town’s structure and layout. It would have been interesting to have been in the middle of the fight but Faust was sadly not part of the guild at that point in time. The home was a little bit of way from the train station but it was not too bad of a walk that Faust could not handle it. He kept his hands in his pockets and somewhat dragged his feet along the streets. He was in no rush to get there, the later he got there the less he had to watch the brat and he would get paid the same amount no matter what. He finally made it to the street and slowly walked down it approaching the home which he was supposed to be at.

Faust knocked on the door a few times and the mother of the child opened the door. “Hello, so glad you made it here. We were getting worried that you might have gotten lost on your way here or something. Well come on inside and I shall introduce you to Jake, just follow me.” As they walked the mother explained the abnormalities with Jake and what to keep an eye out for. After she had given him the run down of everything they left Faust alone with the child. The kid mainly played by itself for the first hour or so and then a jiggle of the door handle caught Faust’s attention, as he approached the front door the parts entered, the father looking rather drunk the mother rather pissed. “Sorry we wasted your time this evening, do not worry we will pay you in full since this is my husband’s fault.” She handed Faust he jewels and showed him the way out. As he left he could not help but think back on how that was the easiest bit of jewels he ever made, heck he just sat there reading most the time.
