The Letter

"There seem to be a lot more jobs today." Wendy stated as her and Carla examined the request board.

"It must be because of Natsu's last mission." Carla said. "I heard he over did it, like usual, and ended up destroying half a town and an entire mountain."

"Natsu really amazing, isn't he?" Wendy's eyes lit up.

"You shouldn't be admiring him for that though." Carla sighed. "Maybe you can take after someone like Erza or Lucy?"

"Erza or Lucy?" Wendy repeated.

She began to remember the times she spent with them wherever they went out on jobs. Erza typically has no people skills and tends to be violent towards others. Lucy does have people skills but isn't that strong of a wizard..at least not yet. Erza, on the other hand, is really strong but it's also her weakness when it comes to fighting. The last time she fought she took out an entire building with one small punch. Lucy, however can't even open a jar of peanut butter for a client and relied on Taurus to do it; only for him to gawk at Lucy's chest.

Wendy began to feel her upper chest where her breasts should be. It wasn't fair that all the other girls in the guild had large breasts and she was stuck with nothing. It just made her feel...insignificant.

"Wendy, how about this one?" Carla asked, bringing her a paper. "80,000 jewels to get windmills working again."

"I don't know." Wendy said. "I'm not sure I'd be cut out for it."

"Oh come on Wendy." Natsu said, walking up to the both of them. "You're a Sky Dragon Slayer and they need to fans turning again. This sounds like an easy job."

"For her maybe." Lucy said behind him.

"Hi Natsu-san, Lucy-san!" Wendy said cheerfully. "How did your last job go?"

"Let's just say…" Lucy began pulling Happy out of her bag. "It went the usual routine."

Wendy and Carla both looked at the blue cat who was suckling on a fish. The top of his head was poofed up into an afro and part of the hair on his tail was missing. Tears were running down his eyes when the two realized that the fish he was holding was almost burnt to crisp.

"Natsu, you need to take better care of your jobs." Erza said. "We can't have you draining all of Fairy Tail's money."

"But Cana takes about a third of the budget for her drinking." Natsu pointed out.

"Shut up, Natsu!" Cana yelled. "I'm trying to sleep here."

"Natsu, it's not nice to blame other people...no matter what they do." Mirajane said as she approached them.

Natsu folded his arms and turned his back like a child would. Erza became furious and bopped the top of his head, causing Gray to laugh before he got hit too.

"Wendy, this just came in for you." Mirajane said handing her the letter.

"Who's it from?"

"I wish I knew." Mirajane said apologetically before walking away.

"Open it up and see what it says." Lucy said.

Wendy opened up the letter and slowly read it. But it didn't take long for her to start crying as she dropped the letter and fell to the ground.

"Wendy, what's wrong?" Erza asked.

Lucy picked up the letter and read it out loud.

Wendy, X820

We hope that when you receive this letter, you will be old enough to understand the important instructions to follow. We also hope that whoever found you has helped you along your path and that you are happy with the choices you have made and the one choice we have made. I'm sure this is all confusing but rest assure when you reach the spot, everything will make sense.

Follow the railway from Magnolia until you reach the location 100 meters away from Hargeon Port. Do not take the train. If you take the train, you'll miss the spot. Underneath the tracks there should be a small chest containing a scroll. Don't open it until you get to Margaret Town where a man named M can lead you to the Vortex. There, read the scroll. Everything should make sense of who we are, where you came from and how you ended up where you are today.

Love,

Mom and Dad

"Why would Wendy's parents just suddenly write her a letter?" Lucy wondered.

"The question is, why is it written in blood?" Erza asked, closely examining it.

"That's not all, look at the year it was written."

"X820? But, this year is X798." Erza said.

"Then that means this was written in the future?"

"Sweet, let's just go there and meet Wendy's parents then." Natsu said casually.

"Natsu you idiot." Gray said. "You can't fast forward into the future."

"Oh yeah? Says who?" Natsu asked, getting face to face with Gray.

"Says me and everyone else." Erza said sternly, breaking the two up. "Now listen, we have to decide on what to do with this letter."

"May I say-"

"Maybe we could follow it?" Lucy suggested, interrupting Wendy.

"How about we throw it away?" Gray asked. "Sounds like a prank to me."

"Maybe if I jus-"

"No one would write a letter in possibly their own blood." Erza said. "It seems like a desperate move. Maybe they were in trouble?"

"But why give away Wendy?" Lucy wondered.

"It's obvious." Natsu said proudly.

"It is?" Happy asked.

"Yep." Natsu smiled. "The reason they gave her away was clearly to become a super warrior to fight for the future."

"I don't even think that's close." Gray said; everyone feeling a large sweat drop fall from their foreheads.

"Why don't we let Wendy decide what to do with the letter?" Erza suggested.

"Of course." Lucy snapped her fingers. "Wendy, what do you want to do?"

Wendy began to shake a little from nervousness. Everyone was nearing in on her, waiting for an answer. Carla didn't seem to know what to do either and Happy was preoccupied with getting Carla a fish, like usual.

"If it's okay with everyone." Wendy began to speak. "I-I would like to see where this takes us."

"Alright!" Natsu shouted. "Let's go!"

"He does realize we have to take a train, right?" Gray asked.

Lucy shook her head. "We have to walk."

"What?"

"It says it in the letter Gray." Erza said, holding the letter for him to read.

"Wendy, if we do end up meeting your parents, I'd like to give them some advice on writing directions." Gray sighed.
