The sun had come and gone as the days passed and two weeks had already passed since Saber Tooth attacked. Everyone was on edge and was wary of who would take the next move. Master Makarov had already sent a counter attack by forcing their off their hold of the port town Hargeon. Which was crucial for trade.
One day Lucy had asked what the war was about and Natsu told her it was over a struggle in power. Ten years ago Saber Tooth had over thrown the kingdom and beheaded the king. They then banded all guilds across the land turning them into dark guilds. Fairy Tail was hit hard because they were the strongest guild. The previous revolt three years ago ended disastrously and the casualties were extremely high, including Lisanna's death. All of the other guilds were destroyed leaving Fairy Tail the sole survivor. Master Makarov then created the Fairy Tail Reformation Order, or FTRO.
Learning this Lucy felt more enlightened about this world she now called her own. Now that she was no longer seen as a prisoner Lucy was aloud out more, but Natsu still didn't want her out alone. He was currently out on a mission to help the people of Hargeon rebuild their town. She blushed at the memory of night before he left. It was their first time and Lucy was a little rusty. But could she just say that Natsu was a freaking god in the bed.
Ever since her left Lucy had way to much time on her hands. Sheloved to go into the forest and relax and most days she would sleep the day away under the canopy of green. She had long since lost her use of a wheelchair and was able to walk freely thanks to Wendy's help. Lucy listened carefully to the sound of the creek next to her, and the bird's song above her. Everything was peaceful.

Two hundred miles west of where the Fairy Tail guild lay, members of Saber Tooth worked tirelessly on preparation for the next battle. Second in command, Minerva, ran through the footage of the previous battle taken by their vision lacrama. She was looking through the footage of Sting's fight with the infamous Natsu Dragneel when she spotted something interesting. In the corner of the image was a blonde girl leaning against a tree. She was obviously hurt and it looked like Natsu was protecting her. A weakness? She could come in handy.
Only when Minerva zoomed in on the image did the image of the girl struck her. That face... It has to be! Minerva immediately saved the image of the girl to the archive and made her way to the Master's courtiers.

Lucy sleepily walked back to the guild and made her way to the bar, where a beautiful young woman stood cleaning the counter.
"Hello Mirajane." Lucy greeted. Mira momentarily stopped cleaning to look up at her.
"Hello Lucy, and just Mira is fine." She smiled brightly. Over the past couple days Natsu's been gone Lucy had been spending quite a bit of time with the white-haired mage, even though they've gotten close she still didn't feel comfortable calling her by a nickname.
"Any news on when Natsu will return?" She asked as Mira set a glass of strawberry milkshake in front of her, knowing it was her favorite.
"He should be back in two days." She told the blonde. Lucy smiled into her drink as she took a sip. When Lucy found out Mirajane was Lisanna's older sister she thought she would hate her for taking Natsu. But she was actually really happy about it. She knew her sister wouldn't want Natsu to mope around forever and found it for the best that he moved on. Hearing all these things about the dead take over mage made her feel like she knew her. But Lucy also felt guilty that she had what she had lost. Lucy knew that she could never compare to her, but as Natsu had once told her. "I have never once compared you to her. Lisanna is Lisanna and Lucy is Lucy. Two completely different people that I hold in my heart."
Natsu will always love her but Lucy was the present and his future.

Minerva knocked on the large door and walked in when she heard a muffled "come in". She bowed down in front of a large man who sat on the throne that belonged the previous king.
"What do you want Minerva?" The man asked gruffly.
"I have something important to show you, father."
