Hidden Life
July 6, X777
Everything was normal. It was a beautiful night in the land of Fiore. Not a cloud filled the sky. The stars shone bright. No children cried in their households. This is where this story starts. Not in a street or a corner store. Not even in a guild. It starts in a dark room inside of a mansion like place in early night. Two figures sit at a lone table in the room. No words nor glances were exchanged. Complete and utter silence filled the room. One of the figures is a semi-young woman. She sits pondering over her life and wondering what to do next. A sigh escaped from the woman's mouth causing the other figure to look up. A deep male voice coming from the other person filled the air.
"Are you sure you want to do this? There is no going back once the seal is cast upon them."
"I understand this sir. I want her to live a good life and I know she can't do that here. Once the seal is cast I will take her as far away from here as I can and I will return in the morning. And in fourteen years and so many months you will lift the seal."
"As long as you are sure this is right for your family Layla. If you are then it is time."
"I'm sure. I'll take my leave now."
Layla got up from her seat and walked out of the room and down the long hall. 'I'm sorry…Jude, Lucy, Lacy. I know things will be better off this way.' Back in the room the man also got up from his chair and made his way from the room only in the opposite direction. He walked until he came upon a room with two huge baby pink doors. He opened them slowly creeping in making sure he didn't make a sound. Walking over to the bed he stood over a sleeping blonde child. He held his hands over her and began to sound out an enchantment. A lavender light emitted from his hands and faded within a matter of seconds. When the light was gone he slipped out of the room once again and walked to another room doing the same only to an older man in this room. With that he took his leave and went deeper into the country of Fiore. Never looking back.
This is where our story begins. This moment was one that changed people's lives forever. Nothing was ever going the same after this moment.
November 7, X791
(Four months after the Grand Magic Games)
The Fairy Tail guild. The number 1 guild in the land of Fiore. Not to mention the loudest, craziest, most drama filled place that anyone has seen. A fight had been going on just like every other day. Chairs were broken and tables were laying around everywhere in shambles. The guild looked as if it had been hit by a tornado. Everyone was laughing and having a merry time. Fighting was just natural to them all. It was a habit that they couldn't break. Gray was running around in his boxers throwing around lame insults to Natsu, Loke had opened up a gate and was trying to flirt with girls, and the Master could be found looking at bikini clad models in Sorcerer Weekly, the local magic magazine. On the first floor of the guild we could find our favorite barmaid Mira and our local celestial beauty having a conversation.
"So Lucy, just out of curiosity how did you learn that spell you used with Gemini in the Grand Magic Games. I've been meaning to ask you, but I just never got around to it."
"I learned it from Hibiki during our battle with Oracion Seis."
"Ahh I see. Lucy I'm truly sorry you never got to patch things up with your dad."
"It's okay Mira. I'll have a chance one day when I see him and mamma in heaven."
The barmaid smiled at the blonde and walked off to serve one of the other members who had just sat down a few chairs from her. Lucy turned to face the rest of the guild and couldn't help but smile at what she saw. It had been a while since she had seen everybody smile and laugh like they were. It made her all warm and fuzzy inside. She slowly hopped down from the barstool and walked over to a table where some of her friends sat. One the way however, she stopped dead in her tracks. Her head suddenly started pounding and her heart raced. Everything started to get dramatically blurry and the room started spinning. She fell backwards and collapsed on the hardwood floor. People's eyes suddenly averted from their previous events to look at the girl that lay unconscious on the floor. Gray was the first one to her followed by the rest of her team. He grabbed her by the shoulders and started to gently shake her.
"Lucy! Lucy! Wake up! If you can hear me please say something! Lucy?!"
Meanwhile, somewhere in the middle part of the country a man lies on his deathbed pondering over his life. He slowly opens his eyes for the last time and says his final words.
"The seal has been lifted."
He then shuts his eyes once more never to open them again.
