Tournament! Here I come!!!

Shin stepped outside of the Fairy Tail door. He took a quick look at the guild before smiling. This was the first time in his life he was going to leave his home town. To him, this was a big moment and he had a feeling nothing could ever take this moment from him. He was ready to go the the tournament and give it his all. He would come back and make Fairy Tail proud. He would come to Fairy Tail as a winner, not as a loser!

He started walking down the path that led to the gate of Magnolia Town. Shin had a white T-shirt on along with tennis shoes and and black pants. The sun was shining on him. He also had on a big black backpack with all the gear he would need....clothing, dental hygiene, food, water, extra socks, jewel [money], and a map in case he got lost. This was a big thing to Shin and he didn't want to get lost. If he did however, he would have his summoning magic to back him up.

After a while of walking, he finally managed to get to the exit of Magnolia Town. He took one final look back at his guild before swiping his right hand over his forehead to wipe of some of the sweat. "I'll be back soon guys....and when I return....we'll celebrate our victory!" Shin said out loud before turning around and starting to walk.

Shin had been walking through a forest of trees. Where ever he turned to look, he would only see animals in the distance. In the distance, he would smell some of the sea water. After another 5 minutes of walking, a bright smile came across his face! He had finally reached Hargeon!!! Once he got to Hargeon, he took out a container from his bag and filled it with sea water from Hargeon. He made a promise to himself to collect things from each town to keep his memory of each town.

As Shin finished filling his container with water, he went to a near by cafe and ordered himself some toast and a cup of coffee. He already missed Magnolia Town and his friends at Fairy Tail but he promised himself he wouldn't turn back now, not until he came back as a winner. After a while of waiting and eating, he got up and took a quick trip to a store to stock up on gear.

After he had bought his gear, he started jogging to his next destination, Clover Town, the home of Blue Pegasus. It was home of the pretty boys. Shin had been told by his parents that Blue Pegasus and Fairy Tail had a good relationship due to the guildmasters Bob and Makarov being friends. Come to think of it, Shin realized that he had never met anyone from a different guild besides that girl he and Ardere fought back at the church.

After a long while of walking, Shin finally reached Clover Town. The first thing he did was pick out a white flower that was planted in Clover Town soil. He looked around the peaceful town. It was fairly quiet, something Magnolia Town would never be. Shin went to a small restaurant to get himself a lunch. He was hungry and couldn't continue to his trip on an empty stomach. He had himself some pasta and a cold drink. He also restored his water bottle with new and colder water.

He got up and walked out the restaurant. He walked near the exit of Clover Town before turning back and giving it a good look. He walked out of the gate with a smile on his face. He still had a long way to go but so far, it was funner then he expected!

As Shin exited Clover Town, he looked around his surroundings. The forest was beautiful and it was like something he had never seen before. It had many trees and not to mention, many animals. The animals in the forest were things Shin had never seen before. Who knew what else he was missing out on!

Shin continued to walk for a couple more minutes before he found a small cave. He went inside it and noticed that it was quite dark. Shin hadn't had any sleep yet and he was quite tired so he made a bed out of random branches and leaves that he found in it and he formed a bed with it. He used his bag as a pillow for comfort. In less then 30 seconds, Shin was flat out. He fell asleep in no time and snoring. This meant he was having a good sleep and a good sleep is a healthy sleep.

After 2 hours, Shin had woken up and was surprised. In the distance, he could see a town and if he was correct, it was Shirotsume town, home to the Fairy hunting guild, Raven Tail. He ran towards the lights and once he got there, he went into a store and bought himself a key chain with a picture of Shirotsume Town on it. He wasn't sleepy anymore so he left to the next town straight away! As he was walking however, he managed to stumble upon a few residents of the town. They seemed quite nice and Shin asked them about Raven Tail. They told him that they are one of the strongest dark guilds in all of Fiore and are not to be taken lightly. Shin nodded at this and said bye to them as he left for Oak Town! Home of Tartaros!

As Shin walked through a plain yet grassy area, he managed to see a large hill with a building on top of it. If he could recall, it was Tartaros, another dark guild. This used to be Phantom Lords town but they had been disbanded and Tartaros took over. They were a strong dark guild and Shin knew that very well due to reasons in the past.

After a long time of walking, it had finally became dusk and Shin was tired. The first thing he did when he made it into Oak Town was go to a hotel and book a room. He slept there as well as freshen up. He was almost there to Era and in a matter of a day or 2.

After a nights rest, he freshened himself, got breakfast and went to the library. He was going to the library so he could purchase himself a book about the history of Oak Town. He was told that this was the oldest town in all of Fiore and if that was true, he wanted to know more about it! Once he got to the library, he bought himself a book called "The history of Oak Town! The riches and poors!" The book was interesting and Shin would surely read it. For now, he needed to get to Hosenka Town. Hosenka Town was the casino town of Fiore. It was home to the greatest restaurants as well as the best casinos in the world of Fiore. Although the casinos were amazing, they were extremely expensive and Shin didn't plan on staying there for long.

He walked to the end of Oak Town. He took a quick glance at the guild. It was extremely huge and if they were as strong as the towns people said they were, Shin hoped to see a member of Tartaros int he tournament. If there wasn't someone there, that would be a disappoitment.

[DUE TO ROCKET WARRIOR -300 words from traveling thread making it out of 1500 words ]

Shin had finally reached Hosenka Town. It was huge! Shin had never seen such a big town but in a distance, he managed to catch a glimpse of Sabertooth, the guild the ice mage girl was from. Instead of buying anything from a store here, he just found a gold coin in the ground. It was a casino ground and it was better then nothing.

As Shin walked near the exit of the town, he nearly fell down due to being so tired. A quick thought came to this head. He put both palms on the ground and he formed a magic circle from which a rocket man came out. "Rocket Warrior! Mind turning into your rocket mode and taking me to Era?" as Shin said this, rocket warrior changed himself into a rocket and Shin go on top of him.

Rocket Warrior quickly blasted through Hosenka and made his way through the forest like no tomorrow! He was going at least 10-20 M/S which was pretty fast if your tired like Shin was. In a matter of minues, Shin had finally reached Era. It was very quite except for the very few people here. He hopped off Rocket Warrior as he sent him back to his world. Shin then touched the ground and kissed it. He was so happy that after all his traveling, he had finally made his way to Era for a first timer. He was now ready to show everyone that Fairy tail had strong mages!
