? POV

As a Celestial Mage stands in front of a large circular doorway covered in runes, reading her ancestor's wishes.

'My future descendants, I have something to request of you. Although, I can't go into detail, out of fear that this may fall into the wrong hands, this is necessary. One day, the magic in the air will become dense, though it will be gradual. Once this happens, unlock the Eclipse Gate using the Twelve Zodiac Keys. They will know what to do."

Slowly, the young woman took out the twelve keys from her pocket, clinking softly as she did so. 'I hope this works, so my daughter doesn't have to do this...' With that in mind, she summoned the twelve zodiac spirits she had become friends with over the years. "Eclipse Gate, open!"

She grits her teeth as she felt her magic reserves depleting rapidly. Then five orbs appeared in the Eclipse Gate, one black, one white, one light grey, one silver, and one red. One by one, they all shot out of the gate, straight into the sky, went their separate ways, and disappeared. But before the final orb could come out, her magic was depleted completely and it disappeared as the gate closed, red light disappearing with it.

She fell over afterwards, and one of the spirits, Aquarius rushed to her side. "Layla! Layla?! What's wrong?" The now named Layla couldn't stay conscious and her vision faded not long after.

Mavis POV

The young girl couldn't believe what she was seeing as she looked around. The members of the Red Lizard guild were being wiped out around her by the Blue Skull, another wizard guild. The Red Lizard and Blue Skull have been rival guilds for a while.

The Blue Skull wizards were wearing a dark blue cloak we're being led by a man named Geoffrey. Bright lights and explosions were quickly exchanged between the two guilds, as the attackers were coming out on top.

At the moment, Mavis was hiding in an abandoned building with the person who closest to her at the time, Zera. Zera was coughing weakly, but since Mavis had no education whatsoever, she didn't know what was wrong with the brunette. The guild master of the Red Lizard's never let her learn anything, which was ironic since it may be the reason his daughter could be dying right now.

She tried to pump the brunette's chest, which helped Zera slightly, and checked her pulse. 'I hope I'm doing this right.' She thought to herself as she felt her heart beating faintly. Looking through a crack to see if anyone could help her with Zera, but only finding that everyone was either killed or had surrendered already.

Suddenly, a bright red sphere appeared in the sky, and was shooting down to the ground. As she saw it, she wondered what it was. As the comet got closer, she could see a pink haired boy with a scarf around his neck, screaming at the top of his lungs.

"Igneel dropped me again! This better be a joke!" The would-be comet yelled as he hurtled down to the ground "Well... I'll most likely survive this."

Geoffrey glances up after seeing a bright red light in the corner of his eye, and saw the pinked haired boy cursing his luck, his eyes widening as he got closer to the ground.

"What is that? Some sort of trump card from the Red Lizards?" he muttered, then turned to his troops. "Retreat! There's something coming our way!"

The troops nodded, they quickly slit the throats of the captives and retreated to their ships, setting sail just as the "trump card" crashed into the ground, kicking up a bunch of dirt, making a dust cloud around it.

"Well that hurt... I wake up and find myself miles up in the sky, what happened? Where's Igneel, anyways?" complained the pink haired boy, rubbing his now very sore head. He sniffed the hair and caught the scent of two people who were still alive along with the scent of the dead mages of the Red Lizard guild.

Anyways, one of the scents of the living people, one of them was nearly dead. He followed the scent to its source and, after prying open Mavis's hiding spot and nearly getting hit with a broom she grabbed, he told her his name.

"Hey I'm Natsu, who are you?"
