September 6, X774

Flare PoV

Flare, after settling in at Fairy Tail, had decided to pay her old town a visit. After taking a train to the nearest station, she walked for a few hours, finally arriving at Sun Village at noon.

Arriving at the town, she was instantly noticed by her foster family.

"Flare! You're back! Was your trip fun?"

Gazing up at her 20-feet-tall friends, she smiled, nodding happily. "Yeah! I met a nice guy called Natsu, and met a bunch of friends!"

Laughing, one of the giants picked the redhead up and placed her onto his shoulder. Squealing, she cheered as they headed to the center of town. "Come, the Eternal Flame has something else to give you."

At this Flare perked up. After all, her last gift was her Hair Magic, something she cherished every day. "What is it? Tell me, tell me!"

Chuckling, the giants came to a stop in front of a giant flame blazing brightly. A resounding voice came from the fire, filled with warmth. "Flare, come here. I need to tell you something, before I become dormant once more."

Nodding, the little girl stepped forward, and the giants dispersed.

"You know Natsu, yes?" Seeing her nod, he resumed. "He's the adopted child of my old friend, Igneel. In a few years, he's going to get into… what do you humans call it? Really deep shit, was it? The point is, there's going to be trouble, lot's of it. Do you wish to help him?"

Flare nodded instantly, not sparing a second thought. "Yes, let me help! Natsu's my first friend, and I wanna help him out however I can!"

Chuckling at her enthusiasm, the fiery figure continued. "Very well, here's my gift to you: it's not as rare as your primary magic, but it's still pretty powerful. It's called Fire Make Magic, and most of it is of the Dynamic variety, not Static. Use it well, little one."

Doing her victory dance, she cheered. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

Laughing, a lightbulb went off in the flame's mind. "Oh yeah, tell him that I'm the dragon that goes by the name of Atlas Flame. I'm sure he'll remember me…"

Promising Atlas Flame to do just that, she left to talk with her foster family and test her new magic.

September 10, X774

A few days after, she bid farewell to her giant friends and returned home to Fairy Tail. She got back at noon once again, and instantly started searching for Natsu.

Rushing into the guild, panting, she began calling for him. "Natsu! Where's Natsu?"

Drunk at the bar, Makarov called out, "What's wrong, Flare? What do you need Natsu for, and where were you the past few days?"

Taking a deep breath, she blurted, "I-went-back-to-my-village-and-got-new-magic-and-I-met-a-dragon-with-a-message-for-Natsu!"

"..."

"..."

"EH?!"

Jiemma and Co. PoV

Currently, the large man was glaring at the two orphans he had met while seeking more power. Over the past two months, he had been training Yami Usagi and Kuri Hidou, whose magics were Celestial and Shadow Make respectively. While Celestial Magic was powerful, there wasn't all that many ways to improve it, whereas the diversity of Shadow Make was spectacular.

"Do ten more laps, then we'll start your magic training. If you want to do anything, power is essential. Power is the difference between people, and how they are classified." Jiemma roared, once again on a rant on how power was everything.

Meanwhile, the panting forms of the two young children trembled at the man's fury. From what they of him since they met him was this. A few months ago, someone beat him badly, and his daughter left him. That person used Fire Magic, and was around their age, surprisingly.

After that, he refused to go any further into detail, and worked them to within an inch of death, brooding on power and revenge.

"Hey, Yami, you okay?"

Said girl looked at the white-haired boy. Sighing, she whispered back, "Honestly, I'd be a lot better if that person, whoever he was, finished Jiemma off before, Kuri."

Nodding silently, they sat silently as Jiemma finished his rant.

Zancrow PoV

"Unholy Fire God's Bellow!"

An extraordinary blast of black fire blasted through countless training dummies, melting the rest through pure heat. Grinning evilly, the blonde stared at the scene with satisfaction.

"Heh, that idiot pinkie won't know what hit him!"

Smirking, Hades put his hand on Zancrow's shoulder. "Well done, Zancrow. To improve this much so quickly, you will become truly strong. Even better, you've inspired the others as well. Kain, Rustyrose, and even the new member, Mikoto, have doubled their training too!"

Thanking Master Hades for the praise, the God Slayer ran out to look for Azuma, seeking a spar.

Chuckling darkly, the former Second Master at Fairy Tail began plotting Zeref's resurrection.

'If Zancrow infiltrates the Oracion Seis, perhaps I can get them to try resurrecting him as well. Tartaros is already on it, and soon the R-System will be too, when I send out Mikoto…'

Strolling out of the practice room, he snapped his fingers, making the room repair itself.

..

Erza and Co. PoV

Fairy Tail's resident order-enforcer was currently dragging her best friend, Jellal Fernandez, across Magnolia's cobbled streets in search of strawberry cake.

"H-hey, Erza… I already-ow!-I already have cake, so if you'll just stop…"

Halting abruptly, Erza froze. "Oh no! I'm sorry, I didn't realize I was hurting you. Please punish me."

Sweat dropping at his friend(/crush)'s actions he hissed, "Stop that, Erza! People are staring at me… Anyways, here's the cake!"

Erza squeezed Jellal in a bear hug, before taking the cake and eating it quickly. "Thank you, Jellal! And I really am sorry about that…" She stared down at her feet sheepishly, blushing for some reason.

Sweat dropping again, he told her it was ok, thinking, 'Man, Natsu's advice really helped… I gotta thank him later…'

"Say, wanna go visit Natsu, Erza?"

Tilting her head, she shrugged. "Sure, why not?"

And so, both her, Jellal, and Flare headed for Natsu's, and their own, home.

..

Yes, there are OCs in here. Yami and Kuri are from Whiskeysnake, and Mikoto is my own. Sorry, Whiskeysnake, I tweaked their magics a bit… Thanks for reading!
