Chapter 1:
After the battle of Tartaros and mourning the final passing of the dragon slayer's dragons, Natsu and Happy were returning to their home in the woods, so they can prepare for their training journey. As they made it to their house Natsu had noticed something. The door was slightly open. Believing there could be an intruder Natsu prepared himself for a fight.
"Happy stay back' Natsu warned his Exceed friend.
When Natsu entered the house, he saw nobody was there. Natsu then started to investigate the rest of the house Natsu checked every room in the house and found each of them empty. So Natsu called Happy to come inside. When Happy entered the house he asked a few questions.
"So was anything stolen?" Happy asked.
"No, we might have just left the door open before we left" Natsu answered with a small chuckle.
Happy also chuckled at Natsu for his lack of attention, until he noticed a letter on the table.
"Hey, Natsu I found a letter" Happy said as he picked it up and gave it to Natsu.
The envelope I had an insignia Happy never seen before, but when he showed it to Natsu, he had the look of shock and surprise when he saw it. Natsu grabbed the envelope from Happy, he then opened it and began to read the letter inside of it. After reading it Natsu grew a more serious expression. He then said something that surprised Happy.
"Sorry Happy, but it looks like I need to cancel our training journey," Natsu said, putting the letter in his pocket.
Happy shocked that he said this "But why you said this was so you can become stronger so you can defeat Acnologia and avenge Igneel" Happy told him.
"I know, but this is personal, more personal than what happened," Natsu said, he than added "and I'm sorry but you can't come with me," Natsu said to Happy.
Happy shocked by this "But why" he asked with tears in his eyes.
"This is something I have to do alone, I'm going to tell Gramps about this and then go," Natsu said. He then turned towards Happy and gave him a smile.
"I'm sorry Happy, but you need to be strong, So I'm going to have you stay with Wendy and Carla for a while, do you understand," Natsu told him, he then proceeded to give Happy a hug.
"I don't want you to go Natsu" Happy cried into his chest.
"I know, but this something I have to do," Natsu told him holding back tears.
"You're my best friend Natsu" Happy cried.
"I know" Natsu responded.
"Okay, I understand I'll try to be strong for you" Happy swore releasing himself from the hug.
Happy did not want Natsu to go, but he knew this is something Natsu needed to do. Natsu then smiled at Happy once again.
"Thank you Happy," Natsu said with his signature toothy grin.
"Alright I need to go speak to Gramps about this, you want to go with me," Natsu asked.
'Aye" Happy Answered.
Before heading off to find Gramps, Natsu packed his traveling pack with plenty of clothes, food, and water for his journey. After Natsu finished packing he and Happy headed off to Magnolia to find Gramps. When exploring the town he found Gramps and walked up to him.
"Gramps there something I need to tell you," Natsu told him.
"Natsu this can wait you can tell me after the-" Gramps was about to finish his sentence until Natsu cut him off by showing the envelope to him. The Fairy Tail Master was shocked when he saw the insignia.
"So it's finally time," Makarov said.
"Yes it's time for me to head back home," Natsu told him.
