Disclaimer: I don't own Fairy Tail. Never do, never will. Hiro Mashima-sama does.
Few notes: This story has three arcs.
Setting: After the current arc in the manga which is the Daimatou Enbu Arc. (I don't want to screw with the manga. I love where that was going.)

A Fairy Tail Fanfiction

The Resurrection of the Great Celestial Mage Arc
Prologue
To Return The Existence
Full moon was visible as its light spread around the darkened place. It was creepy if only it wasn't being illuminated by the light of the moon, one would have thought the place like that. At the center of the place, a pond in the shape of the Zentopia insignia was placed and not that far from it, a tall hooded figure stood in front of a grave. The said figure clutched a golden pot on his right hand and stared at the full moon's light.
After staring at it for who knows how long, the figure turned his head on the grave behind him. His lips moved as if saying some sort of prayer and after that, he walked further and further away from the place, taking the light of the moon with him as it hid behind the dark night clouds.
"I'm back." He said as he stood in front of a figure that appeared to be sitting on a couch. The figure's head moved as if nodding, acknowledging his presence.
"Are you done?" the figure asked, the voice seemingly belonged to a man of above 30's.
"Yes. I have retrieved what you want." The other man said. His voice was less matured than the other. As if following up what he had said, he offered a brown vase towards him. The older man held the pottery on both of his hands and walked towards his desk where he had put the vase.
"Did you make sure that no one will notice?" he asked from his standing position in front of the desk, his back facing the younger man.
"Yes." he replied as he nodded slightly even though his companion couldn't see him.
"Good work as usual." the older man smirked as he praised the other. The moon from the window reflected its light.
"Thank you very much." he had replied back.
Suddenly, another figure walked in the dark room and stood beside the young man. The said young man made no recognition as well as the older man.
"With that already accomplished, what's next?" the newcomer asked and it was sounded like a woman's voice. The young man and woman gazed at the older man expectantly.
"As you two know," he began, turning his gaze to them from the window. "This forbidden magic wouldn't work without the magic from the host."
The woman put a finger on her chin. "Then... we are going to get a magic power..."
"Magic power that resembles the host..." the young man commented.
"That's right. So now, you two get ready to fetch her." the older man said.
The two young teenagers glanced at each other and to the old man. They both straightened when they realized who he could be talking about. They both bowed down and replied with a "Yes!" before going out of the room.
The sound of closing the door ceased as the old man stared at the window where the full moon could be seen again. He let out a soft smile as if remembering something.
"We will be together soon. I will be able to see you again." He whispered as his eyes closed.
The sun's rays engulfed the earth as a short older woman walked towards the Zentopia grave. Her ponytailed long purple hair swayed with the blows of the wind. Her long red dress made her looked young though that was far from the truth.
She stopped and stood on her knees as she touched the grave stone after settling down the white rose flowers she had brought. It felt cold, but she felt that something was amiss. She knew she was just a normal human with no magical powers at all but somehow, she could tell that something was different in this grave. Something happened.
She let out a sigh as she stood up. She stared up at the sky.
"I have to do something. I have to let them know as her family. Danger might be lurking around her." She gazed back at the grave as she whispered to the wind.
"Fairytail..."
Fairytail. The only official guild in the town of Magnolia in the country of Fiore. They are the rowdiest guild before the famous and strongest mages along with their master disappeared seven years ago. Returning seven years later, they still remained as themselves, their time had stopped and so many things had happened while they were gone.
Even so, the guild reunited and aimed for being the number one in Fiore by means of the Grand Magic Games. So many issues and fights had occurred, truth revealed and new allies formed. The guild overcame them all and became the number one guild in Fiore surpassing Sabertooth. They also won the prize money, paying all of the guild's debt for seven years and returning back to their old guild building that they had built after the Phantom Lord Business.
And so, time had passed by so quickly and it has been a month since the Grand Magic Games. The guild members went back to their peaceful lives, taking missions solo or with their respective partner or team. Team Natsu was one of those guild members.
Master Makarov Dreyar, Fairy Tail's respective Master, sat on his chair in his office. He looked on the documents sent to him by the council. So far, it hadn't been about destroyed towns and properties, to his gratefulness. It looked like Natsu's team hadn't done something that would make his head spin just like seven years ago.
He sighed as he put his both hands on his chin; his elbows leaned on the table. He was bored.
All of a sudden, as if hearing his thoughts, a knock came on his door. He sensed it to be the guild's barmaid and resident S-class mage.
"Come in." his voice resonated through the room and the door opened, revealing a lady with long white hair and red dress. What Master Makarov noticed was that the troubled look in her beautiful face.
"Mirajane, what's wrong?"
Mirajane walked in towards him after closing the door to his office and handed him a sealed letter.
"Master, someone left this. It was address to you."
"Oh, who sent this?" he asked, waving the letter in front of him.
Mirajane sighed. "From Lucy's past housemaid."
"Lucy's? But why would she send me letter?"
"I don't have any idea too. But the letter is sealed in magic. It is intended to be read only by you."
Master Makarov looked at her seriously. "You mean, this is a serious matter."
"Yes."
The old master opened the letter with his magic and read the contents.
'Master Makarov of Fairy Tail,
I think you are wondering why I sent you this letter. Even though I'm just a human with no magic, I read books about magic and learned how to seal a letter with magic. I did it so no one will be able to read this. This is important.
Three days before, I went to Lady Lucy's parents' grave. They took care of us when we were in their mansion so we were in debt to them. I thought I just have to visit them. I always visit them once every week. This week, though, I noticed something that I didn't before.'
"I have a bad feeling about this." Mirajane commented. Master Makarov nodded and continued.
'I noticed that something is off in Layla-sama's grave. The feeling is just there. Something feels different. I don't know. But, I want to make sure. I just have to ask this favor of you, Master Makarov.
Please investigate the grave. I have a bad feeling that something dangerous is lingering around Lady Lucy. Fairy Tail is her family now so I have faith that my request will not be ignored.
Thank you and please take care of Lady Lucy.
-Spetto'
Master Makarov let out a sigh and put the letter on his table, eyes closed. Mirajane had a worried look in her face.
Soon, his eyes opened and gazed at the young woman in front of him. "Mira."
"Yes, Master?"
"Are Erza, Natsu and Gray back?"
"I'm afraid they are still in their mission Master."
The master nodded. "I see. When they came back, send them here immediately. I will talk to them."
"Okay Master."
"But don't tell Lucy anything about this for now. I don't want to worry her."
Mirajane nodded and left the room.
Master Makarov leaned on his chair as he muttered. "Another danger is on its way." He closed his eyes and crossed his arms against his chest.
I hope nothing worst comes close.
