To the people of Magnolia today was a day like any other. The streets would be lively, street musicians would play their instruments and entertain the passes by. However for Fairy Tail today was different.
"It's hard to believe it. But it's been 2 years…" Said the usually lively Mira, whose expression today though was not her usual warming smile.
"I know it almost feels as if… As if she's still here with us." Her brother Elfman sighed.
The atmosphere in the guild today, was not as it was usually. Everyone seemed disheartened.
"Happy what's wrong with everyone today? Even Natsu's not his usual outgoing self." Asked Lucy, she was surprised at the fact that Natsu was gloomy.
"Oh right you're new to the guild. Well today's kind of an anniversary for Fairy Tail." Happy explained in a sadden voice.
"An anniversary? What of?" She asked, her voice had a slight tone she knew whatever it was the anniversary of. It wasn't something pleasant.
"Lisanna's death." Natsu's words were monotone, like he was trying to not notify anyone of is despair at the fact.
Lucy gasped and the guild fell silent. Not a single word uttered.
Upon these words Mira began to cry "Little Sister…" She whispered and collapsed into the arms of her brother. The sobbing became loud crying every now and then she would say "Lisanna." as she cried.
"It's ok Mira. It's ok" Said Elfman fighting back tears.
"She died…" Lucy repeated.
"She was killed… by those bastards at Crimson Reaper." Natsu slammed his fist onto a table clenching his fist.
Master Makarov entered the guild hall holding a card addressed to Mirajane Strauss of Fairy Tail. The writing was silver and neatly rested in the centre of the envelope. He passed it to Mira who read through it and instantly fell to her knees crying.
Elfman picked up the letter and began to read aloud "Dear cretins of Fairy Tail. As you may well know today is a very special day. The anniversary of the death of a pathetic wizard. Long story short the past two years have been great so here's hoping for another. From your Friends at Crimson Reaper" He finished and was trying to hold back the tears but could not.
"Those Bastards!" Natsu shouted. His hand had set ablaze and he smashed a table in two. "When I find them they're dead!" He roared at the top of his voice.
"Natsu we can't just engage another guild out of the blue." Gray muttered and slapped him around the back of the head. "So it's a good thing they're a dark guild" He grinned.
Natsu nodded in agreement. "They'll get what's coming to them Lisanna… I promise" He whispered under his breath.
