Two updates in such a short period of time! XD

Hi guys :) Filipe here, and this chapter is actually the other half of the last chapter, but I did end up making them separate. It just seemed to flow better that way.

I do not own Fairy Tail, or any of its characters. I own my OC's, and KaitouKiwi is the mother of Brynn. Thank you for letting me use her, and for the reviews. Happy Reading!

Chapter 3: Farewell

"Al," Brynn made sure the irritation in her voice was clear, as she spoke, "How long are we just going to watch over Juvia? I feel gross, stalking her like this."

"Shhh," Altair was too engrossed with his sister to focus on anything his partner was saying. Juvia was stood, hiding behind a large pillar, observing the ice wizard known as Gray Fullbuster.

"Graaaayyyyy." The rain woman made her move, but the boy was too quick and dodged her embrace.

"How dare he!" Altair said as he bit his lower lip in frustration. "I'll punish him for making a fool out of my sister."

"Altair don't you think you should introduce yourself to her already. It's been two months since we've found her, and people are starting to stare at us."

It was true. Since Altair had found his sister he couldn't bring himself to talk to her, believing that it wasn't the right time. Before he knew it, he and Brynn had spent two months wandering around Magnolia. They had gotten a part-time job at a local restaurant, and spent the rest of their time in the guild hall, stalking Juvia.

People stared at the two young mages. Brynn sat at a table by herself, while her partner hid under it observing his sister from afar. She had to admit. They were both very similar.

"Ahem." The guild master, Makarov, walked up on stage. Fairy Tail's strongest wizards standing alongside him. Brynn and Altair were so focused on other matters that they didn't notice the commotion that was going on in the now crowded guild hall.

"Since long ago this has been Fairy Tail's custom," the short man began, "and now… the announcement of the participants in the S-Class wizard promotion trial." The room burst into a chorus of cheers and whistles.

"I'm all fired up!" Brynn heard Natsu shout out.

Master Makarov continued, "The venue for this year's trial is Tenrou Island. The holy ground of our guild." The old man paused for a second as the room soon got quiet, few whispers heard as he continued, "Strength…Heart…Soul… I've been watching each of these things this year. There will be eight participants."

"Natsu Dragneel. Gray Fullbuster. Juvia Lockser. Elfman. Cana Alberona. Freed Justine. Levy MacGarden. Mest Gryder." Excited murmurs broke out through the packed room.

"This time, only one will be selected to pass from among them. Get into your best condition within one week's time."

"That's great Altair! Juvia was chosen." Brynn looked over at her companion who was now staring blankly at the crowd congratulating his sister.

"Yea. That's great."

A week passed by and all the chosen mages to participate in the S-Class exam were gathered, alongside their partners in Hargeon Port. "Altair don't you think you should introduce yourself now?"

"No, I've finally made up my mind. It doesn't matter whether Juvia passes or fails this exam, but as soon as it's over…. I'll finally introduce myself to her." The two mages were standing alongside the large crowd that had come to send the wizards off, "Farewell," he started, "Until we meet again." These were the last words Altair said to his sister, as the vessel departed towards Tenrou Island.

Brynn and Altair decided to wait the exam out in Hargeon Port. Brynn took advantage of the situation and decided to visit her old work at Fiore International.

"It's great that you've decided to visit us Brynn," Her old boss said, glee highlighting his voice, "How are things with you and Altair?"

Brynn was quiet. "Brynn? Is everything ok?" Brynn remained quiet as she stared past the walls of the building toward the port.

Altair stood at the edge of the dock, looking out at the wide sea spread before him. It was only a few moments ago that he suddenly felt a large amount of magical energy come from the calm ocean. "Al," It was Brynn, "You felt that too didn't you?"

"Yes," he answered, his voice sharp with uneasiness, "It came from the same direction that they left towards."

"That magic. It wasn't just powerful. There was something dark about it." Worry was clear in Brynn's voice. "You don't think…"

"We can only hope that nothing happened to them," Altair said, his voice now void of emotion. "We can only hope."

December 16, x784

Altair and Brynn along with mages of the Fairy Tail guild, and various other local guilds had gone towards Tenrou Island in search of what the source of the dark magic was. They found nothing, but someone claimed to have seen a large black creature flying away in the distance. Juvia, along with other members of the Fairy Tail guild were nowhere to be found, and before they knew it seven years had passed by.

That's the end of Chapter 3! I'm almost caught up with the current story-line of Fairy Tail. One more chapter and I'll be all caught up with my previous work. Thank you to all the people who read my fanfic, and all of those who have been patiently waiting. I will try to write more often, but I will not make any promises. Now, I have an essay to write -.- Woe is me!

Thank you for reading! R&R!
