Things at Fairy Tail were as normal. Members flirted. Went on jobs. Gray had all but forgotten about the girl from the North. Like she had never existed. Like the night had never even happened.

Until, that was, Fairy Tail was raided and Team Shadow Gear was injured and tied up by a rival guild. It was the attack on the guild members that made Master Makarov furious.

And so war was declared on Phantom Lord. A guild filled with the sad and the angry and the deeply unhappy. The guild with the Element 4, the only members fiercely loyal to their Master Jose and ambitious enough to climb the ranks to S-Class magics. And the S-Class mages of Fairy Tail were all away from home.

Although, dear readers, most of you know the outcome of this war, the players at this point do not. But when Gray saw the insignia of Phantom Lord, the memories of that fateful night rushed back, and filled him with a fury second only to the rage he felt toward Deliora. And he knew, given the chance, he would kill that girl.

Small interlude between chapters. University takes up a lot of time, doing my best.
