Disclaimer: I do not nor will I ever own Fairy Tail, just borrowing the characters
Summary: A loss at Tenrou Island causes Magnolias' resident guild to become depressed, but none more than their resident ice-make mage. Little do they know that loss was just the start of something more than anyone ever expected. Secrets revealed, new powers, new enemies, and new relationships.
Side note: everything on Tenrou up until Acnologia's arrival is the same as in the anime and manga, but in this story it is Zeref himself who attacks everyone instead of Acnologia.
Warning: Yaoi, violence, and sexual moments (occasionally)
Chapter one: Lost Light
No POV
It's a normal day in Magnolia, the sun is shining and the people are going about their days without a care in Earthland. The town is normal and happy, but the same cannot be said in the town's resident guild. There is no loud arguing, no brawls in the hall, no chairs, tables, or even people flying across the room. The guild had a quiet and depressing feeling in the air that can bring the most hyper and happy person to a motionless sadness as soon as they walk in the guild doors. Today, Fairy Tail lost their spirit, their strength, their heart. Today Fairy Tail lost their fire.
At the bar Mirajane, Elfman, and Lissanna stood huddled in tears. Macau, Wakaba, and Romeo sat at the counter with their heads down. Visiteer stopped dancing, and Nab couldn't be found at the request board. Gildarts sat at a table near a window in silence with his new found daughter Cana with no alcoholic drink in sight. On the second floor, Laxus and the Raijinshuu sat at a table surprisingly just as sad.
Jet and Droy are not fanning over Levy who was sitting in a booth crying into Gajeel's chest as he tried to keep up his tough image. The guild master Makarov had shut himself in his office to try and keep his children from seeing him breakdown. Pantherlilly was trying to stay strong for everyone, but it was obvious he was about to break. Juvia was sent outside to the pool so she wouldn't flood the guild with her tears. The guild is quiet and sad, but none were as upset as a certain team that was hit the hardest.
At a table in the middle of the guild sat the majority of the strongest team, Team Natsu. Erza, Lucy, Happy, Wendy, and Carla sat there crying their hearts out, but two people were missing from their team.
In the infirmary, crying alone into a pillow and holding tightly onto a black scaly scarf that was once a brilliant white, was one of the missing members of Team Natsu, Gray Fullbuster.
The other missing member was the cause of all the tears and sadness throughout the guild. Gray gripped the scarf tightly as he cried the missing person's name.
"NATSU" Gray cried full of heartache and pain. Fairy Tail has lost their spirit, strength. Fairy Tails heart and soul, Natsu Dragneel is gone. Natsu disappeared while saving the Tenrou group from Zeref during the S-class trials. After the final attack, both Natsu and Zeref were nowhere to be found. The first master Mavis sent everyone home, but Natsu was still missing. After two weeks everyone is starting to fear he won't be coming back. Gray was the most devastated, with Natsu's last words running through his mind over and over again.
Flashback
"I love you Gray Fullbuster, always have, always will" Natsu said as he wrapped his now black scarf around Grays neck, kissed his forehead, turned charged his magic and launched at Zeref. A huge bright light erupted, blinding everyone who was watching, and when it disappeared, Natsu and Zeref were gone.
Flashback end
"Natsu, I love you too, so please come back to me" Gray cried before falling into a restless sleep.
A/N:
Well here you go everyone, the first chapter to my very first fanfiction. I hope you can look past any spelling mistakes…. I was never good at spelling. Sorry if the characters seem out of character, I'll try to work on that. I appreciate any advice anyone can give me to help with my writings. Updates do not have set times, I have work so idk how much time I will have to write.
