[ The country of Fiore lay across the ocean from Thedas. The two often had very little to do with each other, their cultures and technologies were leagues apart, and the distance between them too great for trade routes to be of any profit. A ship from Fiore would cross over once every several months to bring a small smattering of passengers, messages, or goods, but that was really all the contact they had with one another.
It was only by chance that news of the Conclave and the rifts reached Fiore at all. Most dismissed them as wild stories, but one wizarding guild in particular had experienced holes in reality first hand, and thought it best to investigate. That’s where Gajeel Redfox came in, a wizard of the Fairy Tail guild, and a dragon slayer as well. The portals that Fairy Tail had encountered before- powerful spells called Anima- did not work on dragon slayers, and since the other two dragon slayers in the guild couldn’t go for various reasons (Wendy was far too young to make a trip like that on her own, and Natsu got motion sick just standing on a ship at the docks), he was assigned to make the trip.
That suited the Iron Dragon Slayer fine. It was a chance to do some traveling, and, if the rumors were true, he’d get a few good fights out of this journey.
The Guild Master had tried to send word ahead, to get in touch with the Inquisition’s diplomat and let her know a wizard from Fiore was coming to aid their cause, if they needed him. (He may be rough around the edges, Master Makarov had written. But he’s one of the best Fairy Tail has to offer. I hope he can be of help to you.) Whether or not the message got through, Gajeel didn’t know, but either way he was making the trek to Skyhold.
He was smart enough to know that his appearance would probably garner some unwanted attention- considering the iron studs embedded on his limbs and his face- so he kept himself cloaked until he arrived at Skyhold’s main gate.
And that’s where he currently is, engaged in an argument with one of the guards who was refusing to let him pass, on account of being “suspicious”. ]
You wanna go, tin can? I’ll eat your armor for breakfast.
