Disclaimer: I don't own Fairy Tail, just this story.
Dead, numb, lifeless; like the most beautiful flower, entering now a withered state, there it was... Lucy Heartfilia's corpse. Her torso had been penetrated with a long, sharp object – likely a blade – that had left a mortal would and a trail of dark blood across the innocent female's body; a blurred smile, reflecting inner peace, could be however appreciated drawn across the now-pail blonde's soft lips.
"No... Lu-chan..." In a low tone of voice, those were the feeble words that escaped the lips of another figure placed on the scene; "Not you, Lu-chan..." Exclaimed once again the figure of petite size, with arms wrapped now around the sleeping beauty and endless tears, flooded by extreme pain, pouring down her face. The name of this myserious persona? Levy McGarden; the now-last survivor of the Fairy Tail guild.
Tightly wrapped around her friend's body, the scarred bluenette's tears would not cease to fall; after deppositing all hope in her companion's now-apparently-failed plan, Levy's expectation's of witnessing a new future were lowered to zero; alone, she was willing to die. Slowly releasing the sleeping blonde and softly placing her back on the floor where she had magically reappeared, with a torrent of painful tears still flooding her facial features, the scarred bluenette headed then towards the desk of the small room she was in; she admired the Fairy Tail insignia, – treasure she stored – placed behind it for brief seconds, before opening one of the desk's drawers to take a scalpel. After such experiences, growing unstable, Levy McGarden was decided to commit it; suicide. Firmly grabbing the cutting accesory with her right hand, the script mage extended her left arm forwards; the final step shouldn't be quite far from there, right? After all what the female had grone through, the pain produced by a miserable scalpel shouldn't even itch.
Mentally readied, the scarred bluenette drove the cutting accessory downwards; however, right before scratching her pale skin, she stopped; she couldn't do it. Such action would disown every single of her deceased comrade's sacrifices, who had given their lives to protect one another; Levy, loyal to their memories, could not end her life that way. Throwing the scalpel away, the female burst into tears once again, having as only companion the feeble glow of a sad candle in the background for the rest of the long, dark and ominous night. She was alone now.
7:00AM; as usual, another sad day loomed in the morning; dark coulds engulfed the sky above, only to remind the restant percentage of humanity how doomed they were. Next to her friend's body, – which the scarred bluenette covered with a white blanket – Levy managed to sleep from one hour to zero; she had to bury her guildmate the following day, after all... Sadly familiar with the process, Levy grabbed a large coat from a closet inside the shelter that apparently was now Fairy Tail, proceeding then to wrap the sleeping female's arm around her shoulder, in order to carry her this way. Inspecing the area through a window in first place, Levy stepped out of the short building when made sure that no danger existed around; Fairy Tail's cemetery. There is where she was heading...
No sound could be percieved as Levy made her way to her destination; it was all quiet. Ruined buildings, garbage rounding the street, devastated vehicles; it had all been result of the dragon's strike. Despite such a dreadful view, Levy's way to the place where her former companions rested now was much more lighter than she thought; possibly because there, she felt closer to the ones she loved. When arrived, in light sadness, she drove her gaze around the place, meeting this way the tombstones of each one of Fairy Tail's members...
The Strauss siblings; Elfman, Mirajane and Lisanna, buried from left to right. Levy was still able to remember the brutal demise the three of them suffered; something she however decided to not reminisce due to being too painful.
Laxus Dreyar, buried next to Cana Alberona; Laxus had been the only man able to terminate a Dragon; in state of outrage, took place right after Cana's death. Many said they had feelings for each other, which is the reason why they were burried together.
Wendy Marvell and Romeo Conbolt; youngest members of the Fairy Tail guild. Considering their young age, the mere sight was devastating already. The kids, however, suffered a painless death, which was kind of relieving compared to the rest.
Gajeel Redfox; the one who owned her heart. The scarred bluennete had purposely left a spot beside him, for her to be next to the male whenever her day came. The sight already made the script mage shade a tear.
Many other familiar names could be appreciated as well, but the scarred mage simply skipped them, only to avoid her heart to be flooded by pain once again. Next to Natsu Dragneel – which was where the blonde requested to rest whenever her day came – the bluenette proceeded to dig her companion's grave. When finished, Levy softly placed the sleeping beauty into her new retirement, dedicating her one last smile despite the sorrowful moment; "Goodbye, Lu-chan..." She muttered, giving one last farwell to the brave female. However, in the process, something quite peculiar took place; two golden accessories fell out from the blonde's pocket; keys. – Gate of the Lion and Ram keys, concretely. – With no Celestial Spirit Mages around, Levy was aware of the fact that those Spirits could not be summoned, however, she decided to pick them up, in order to treasure one last memory of her lost comrade.
When done, the script mage took one last overlook at the sacred place as sadness took over her fragile heart; she was wondering if would she meet her companions again, moment she looked forward to. Tightly holding both keys as treasure, the mage known as Levy McGarden headed then back to the little shelter she now lived in; the "new" Fairy Tail.
