A month soon passed in Magnolia after the incident of the Eclipsed Celestial Spirits. The strange weather occurrence upon the world had ceased as everything was back to normal. While things at Fairy Tail was the same as always.

We turn our attention to the Guild's bath as the Fairy Tail girls were having a bath together.

Lucy is one of the many girls as she soaked her body into the warm bath water and let out a long soothed yet satisfied sigh.

"this is the best~!" Lucy smiled while relaxing.

"Hey, Lucy." Cana called out to Lucy while in the hot tub

"yeah?" Lucy replied while having her eyes closed and sinking her body deeper into the warm water.

"Did you gain weight?" Cana asked with a smirk as Lucy's eyes widened to the comment while her cheeks reddened in embarrassment.

"What?! I have?! Where?!" Lucy exclaimed while desperately trying to find any part of her body that may have started to get fat before she soon cried "I knew I shouldn't have eaten that cake yesterday!"

"it's right around…" Cana said as she gropes Lucy's breasts from behind and started to grope them around. "here!"

"Kyaaa! Cana, what are you doing?! Stop…" Lucy exclaimed before she let out an embarrassed moan.

"Oh, come on." Said Cana as she grinned. "No need to be shy. We're friends, right?"

"n-no! stop! Help!" Lucy cried out while Cana continues to fondle her breasts from behind.

Levy and the others girls who were washing themselves up sees the two as they either sigh, smile, or shake their heads.

"Where's Wendy when we need her?" said Levy with a sigh. "She usually puts a stop to this kind of stuff."

"she'd gone with Charla and redhead on a job" Mira answered while washing her hair with some shampoo. "they haven't come back yet."

"She did?" Levy asked "That's kind of odd for those two to go alone on a job as well."

"it was because of the reward." Lisanna stated in. "they just found the job by randomly at the quest board and just decided to work together for it."

"what's the reward?" Levy asked with a curious face.

"some incredibly rare sweets." Mira and Lisanna answered at the same time


at Onibus and upon a theater. There is Erza, Wendy, and Charla as the three are wearing costumes for a play

"m-my name i-is Ellie! And I u-use Tonfas!" said Erza while holding a pair of tonfas.

As usual, her characteristic in a play stinks which causes the viewers to shout in dislike.

"you stink!" "I want my money back!" "get off the stage!" The crowds booed while they started throwing garbage at her.

"this is amazing!" said Erza with sparkling eyes.

"is this really okay? Wendy asked with a sweatdrop because of how Erza is unaffected by the constant booing.

"just focus on the sweets, Wendy." Charla told Wendy. "the sweets!"


"hey guys." Levy called out as Mira and Lisanna looks at the petite blue haired girl who is pointing at the bathtub where there is someone with red hair just sitting quietly. "isn't that Erza?"

"eh? Lisanna looks confused. "but we just saw them off this morning"

"Erza?" Lucy called out as the mass of hair slowly turned around and a familiar voice echoed in Lucy's ear. "Blondie…" the strands of red hair separated like a curtain, the figure revealing itself to be none other than Flare Corona.

"isn't she!?" Mirajane shouted. "Raven Tail!"

"What's she doing here?!" Levy added in equal shock, but also a hint of fear.

"you plan for a fight!?" Cana exclaimed and was about to go and teach her a lesson If it hadn't for Lucy who stopped her.

"Cana, wait!" Lucy shouted. She jumped out of the water, grabbing Cana from behind before the angered brunette got too far away. This resulted in the two slipping on the wet stone floor and falling to the ground with a painful thud. Cana managed to turn to her back. She looked up at Lucy with irritation.

"What are you doing, Lucy?!" she asked as she tried to get out from under the blonde. "Did you forget what she-"

"Just calm down." Lucy said. "She's not here to hurt anyone." She looked up at the Raven Tail wizard. "Right, Flare?"

Flare shook her head slowly, a nervous blush creeping across her soft face.

"What are you talking about?! She's from Raven Tail!" Cana argued.

Flare looked away from the two wizards, her blush deepening as she pressed her finger tips together. As she continued to fidget, her hair slowly began moving towards Cana. Soon tendrils of red hair enveloped the brunette fortuneteller, moving up and down as well as wrapping around her body. Lucy subsequently lost her leverage and fell to the side.

"Let me help wash every part of you." Flare said, somewhat creepily, as her hair did the wash but in a perverted way.

"This feels great!" Cana shouted happily.

"So, why are you here, Flare?" Lucy asked, doing her best to ignore Cana's wash.

"After the Grand Magic Games…Raven Tail disbanded…" Flare explained, still fidgeting with her fingertips. "I…don't have…anywhere else to go."

The Fairy Tail girls sat silent in response to Flare's confession.

Juvia watched the scene unfold from the locker room area of the bath. She was going to join her friends, but Flare's sudden appearance made her air on the side of caution. Nonetheless she slowly began to see something in the lost wizard.

'That gloomy face. She's just like me!' Juvia thought, clutching her Gray plushie in her arms.

After a few more moments of silence Lucy smiled warmly at Flare.

"Do you want me to ask the Master if you can join us?" the blonde asked the red hair as this surprised everyone else. While Flare has a small smile unrolled on from her lips while she looked down at her clear reflection in the water.

"No way!" Levy shouted in disbelief.

"You're asking her to join?!" Lisanna asked, equally surprised.

"you can't be serious!" Mira stated in

"sorry..But I don't think I want to join Fairy Tail." Flare replied

"Then why are you here!" everyone exclaimed in unison.


after the whole scenario that had happened at the bath. Lucy started walking on the hill that leads to Fairy Hills as she just had a hectic of a talk with Flare who had left Fairy Tail after barging in unexpectedly.

"that was one heck of a surprise, right Plue?" Lucy spoke as she looks down to her White Dog Spirit; Plue

"pu puun" Plue replied to her

"the thing with Flare sure got everyone surprised" Lucy said while opening the gate to the dorm and entered in with Plue. "got to forget that and just spend the day to relax."

"pu puun." Plue replied as he followed his Master to the dorm and walks up the stairs.

"ah, can't wait and just sleep in …" Lucy spoke as she got up the stairs and head to her room's door and opened it and find Erza, Wendy, and Charla in her room having snacks and tea. "my room!"

"Welcome home!" Erza greeted Lucy while having a cup of tea

"Sorry for just barging in here like this." Wendy apologized with a bow.

"I should've known that there won't be a single relaxing day…" said Lucy as she tiredly sighs while entering her room with Plue and closes the door. "since when you guys got back?"

"just a few minutes ago." Erza replied as she placed a hand on a small chest next to her. "We received some very exotic sweets as a reward on our job and since there is too much for us to eat ourselves, we thought we'd share some."

"really?" Lucy asked as she sat down with Plue on her lap "So I'm guessing everything went well on the job?"

"kind of.." Wendy replied with an awkward smile.

"It was like a dream!" Erza shouted with a star shining in her eyes.

"Or a nightmare," Charla commented under her breath as she sips her tea

"I can only imagine." Lucy replied with a sweatdrop before she ate one of the rare sweets.

The group had a bit of a R&R time together as they chatted while drinking their tea and eating the sweets together

"Hey, if you guys aren't too busy, do you wanna go on a job with me?" Lucy asked after drinking her tea "It's nearly time to pay my rent again."

"Sure." Wendy replied with a smile

"I don't see why not." Erza nodded, standing up from the couch

"Great. Thanks you guys." Lucy replied with a smile


The group returned to Fairy Tail as they got to the Quest Board while everyone else is doing their daily things.

"what should we take…?" said Lucy as she checks the available quest on board.

"let's try something with a big paying job?" said Erza while taking hold of a request paper that is of a monster subjugation quest. "like this one?"

"I think we had enough of monster subjugation request, Erza." Said Charla as they already did one just a week back and it was a hectic one.

"how about an exploration request?" Wendy asked while pointing at a request paper that has information about a mystery cave.

"do we really want to get lost like last time?" Lucy asked while sweatdropping in remembering an old quest that the group once did and paid the price by getting lost in a cave for almost a week.

While Lucy and the others continues to chatter while they were picking the job on the request board, we turn our attention to the bar where Makarov is with Ikki and Kiara who is curled up while sleeping in a basket.

"bleb le ble~! It's the moustache man!" Makarov blabbered out funny as he lifted Ikki up and down in his arms, making the child laugh and giggle happily. "bleble ble!

"having fun, Master?" Mira asked as she came while carrying a stack of papers.

"aren't we having fun, Ikki~? Bleble ble~!" Makarov replied while continuing to make funny noises and faces to Ikki before he rubs his moustache against the small child's cheeks. "moustache attack~!"

Ikki continues to laugh and giggle all happily before he stopped and soon started crying.

"e-eh? What's wrong?" Makarov asked before his nose instantly smelled something wretched that made his face turned a bit blue "ugh….it's that.."

"I'll get him." Said Mira while taking Ikki for a diaper change. "while you have to deal with some of these emergency request papers, Master."

"Hmm?" Makarov looks at the request papers as he took one and reads its content "We've been getting more and more specialty requests lately."

"It's because we've gotten so popular as of late." Mira replied while changing Ikki's diaper behind the bar. "the GMG boosted our favorite in the people after all."

"is that so?" said Makarov as he continued reading the content and stumbled upon some names listed that made him look around. "hey! Anyone seen Natsu and Gray? They got a request with their names on it!"

"huh? Me and Natsu?" Gray hollered out as a table he is sharing with Juvia, Lisanna, and Elfman.

"where's Natsu?" Makarov asked while looking around for the salmon haired mage.

"you do know that he ask for today to not be a day he gets called for a request, right?" Mira told Makarov while carrying Ikki who has a fresh new diaper on. "he planned today to be spent with Ikaruga, remember?

"right..then I guess this will just have to wait until he returns." Makarov said while taking a look at the job request more closely but as he read over the paper, his eyes slowly widened in shock. The others took notice of their Master's shift in demeanor.

"What's wrong, Master?" Mira asked.

"I was mistaken…this job…it has to be done with or without Natsu!" Makarov spoke out while shaking. "this quest is an absolute must for us to take immediately!"

"What do you mean?" Lucy asked as everyone turns towards Makarov.

"What's got you so freaked out, gramps?" Gray added.

"The person who put in this request…" Makarov spoke out while his hold on the paper turned into a grip that crinkles it. "..is Warrod Sequen! He's ranked fourth among the ten wizard saints. He's also been named as one of the Four Emperors of Ishgal."

"A wizard saint requested the job?!" Lucy exclaimed in shock. "and it's one of the top four!?"

"What does this mean?!" Charla asked in equal shock.

"Why would someone so powerful…?" Wendy spoke

"What in the world?" Erza asked with wide eyes.


at the Daimou's Home, the Family is at the small lake as the group is having a fishing time together.

"my line isn't biting anything~!" Haruo whined as his fishing line's floater didn't move one as it floats in the water.

"fishing is all about patience, Haruo." Ikaruga told her son while having Haruka sleeping on her lap as the young girl had fallen asleep while fishing.

"and quietness." Natsu added in as he just sits still while holding his fishing rod with one hand. "the fish won't come when there are too much noises."

"This is boring…" Haruo whined before he pulls his line back and sees that his hook has no more bait. "The fishes just took my bait!"

"they are intelligent, I give them that." Said Natsu as his fishing rod started to get a bite, the salmon haired mage swung his rod up and instantly pulled out a big fish out of the small lake.

"HUGE!" Haruo exclaimed in surprise as Natsu soon takes out grabs Chitetsu's handle and draws out the weapon at a rapid speed before sheathing it away with a click to its scabbard.

The fish falls from the air before its meat was filleted from the bone.

Natsu drags out a big leaf as all the cut-up fish meat fell upon it in a perfectly aligned circular line while the bone and head was disposed.

"We can have this for dinner." Said Ikaruga while Natsu shreds parts of the big leaf and folded it up into a makeshift package.

"try catching another, Haruo." Natsu told his son while picking up the packaged fish meat. "that is if the fishes will want to be caught by you."

"I'll do it!" said Haruo as he hooks in another bait before he swings his fishing line to catch a fish with determination burning in his eyes.

"ara ara" Ikaruga giggles a bit with a smile while Natsu had a small chuckle before he hears squealing.

The family turns and sees Kiara running in as the little Pop Fox came jumping onto Natsu's shoulder while having a letter tied behind her back.

"from the guild?" said Natsu as he takes the letter from Kiara's back and reads it. His eyes scanned the words before they hardened a bit. "I see. An emergency request."

"is it serious?" Ikaruga asked while caressing Haruka's head as the young girl continues to sleep.

"seem so." Natsu replied while folding the letter and putting it away. "I have to go."

"ah! Then what about the fish!?" said Haruo abruptly. "I still haven't caught my own!"

"don't worry, I'll be back before you even know it." Natsu told his son with a smile before he went and leans close to his wife to give her a kiss on the lips. "I'll be going."

"have a safe trip." Ikaruga replied with a smile.

Natsu nodded before he lifted his mechanical left arm and taps the Celestial Gem that instantly shines.

In an instant, Draco arises out of the forest as the Dragon spirit soars into the air with Natsu on top of its head.

"just when I was about to catch my fish.." Haruo whined a bit before his fishing line got a few tugs as he immediately started to pull back and caught the most smallest fish he ever seen. "so SMALL!"


About 2 days later, Draco is seen flying in the sky as the Dragon Spirit carried Natsu and his team to the location of Warrod Sequeen's Home located somewhere far from any city.

"so the client is a Wizard Saint, huh?" said Lucy while holding the request paper in her hands before looking to Erza. "They say the Wizard Saints are the ten strongest wizards on the continent, right?"

"That's correct." Erza replied with a nod before looking to Natsu who is sitting at the front on top of Draco's head with Kiara sitting on his shoulder. "Master, and Jura are a part of them and Natsu who was even a member"

"Jellal was one of the Wizard Saint's too, right?" Wendy asked as Erza nodded again.

"He was." Erza stated "And Phantom Lord's old master was one."

"I keep wondering why someone like a Wizard Saint call for us in a request." Said Gray while crossing his arms. "doesn't make sense, right?"

"indeed," Erza nodded "especially the fact that Warrod Sequeen is a member of the Four Emperors of Ishgal"

"what is the Four Emperors of Ishgal?" Wendy asked while looking a bit confused.

"The top four strongest Wizard Saints are given that title." Erza replied. "they are given that title as the fact that they are the strongest top four of all ten Wizard Saints."

"and the Ishgal part?" Charla chimed in

"an ancient name for the continent" Erza answered.

"Ishgal, huh?" said Gray.

"we're arriving" Natsu called out as everyone looks at him and then down to the land where they could see a house on a hill coming into a view.

"that must be Warrod Sequeen's home, right?" said Lucy.

"Draco" Natsu called out as the Dragon spirit descends from the sky.

The group started walking on the land while Draco had disappeared back into the Celestial Spirit World.

They entered the home while knocking on the door a couple of times as they just went straight in and sees that there is poor lighting in the room and no one was seen except for lots and lots flowers everywhere.

"Excuse us…" Wendy began.

"We are wizards from the Fairy Tail guild." Erza continued. "Warrod-san? Are you present?"

"Shh." A voice echoed through the home. "Be quiet."

"w-who just spoke that?" Lucy asked while a bit scared as she saw a tree like figure moving. "it moved!?"

"Plants prefer peace and quiet. If your minds cannot comprehend that, then keep your noisy mouths shut!" the figure said before he chuckles. "Just kidding!"

Suddenly the plants in the home rapidly grew in full bloom, and the entire room was soon lighted brightly.

The figure continued laugh uproariously, twirling around with a wide open mouthed smile on his face as the water from his can poured onto the still growing plants.

"It was a joke! Plants love to hear the sound of human voices!" He stopped spinning round and faced the Fairy Tail group while still laughing.

Natsu and the others look a bit awkward and surprised at the display as they weren't that sure to how they were supposed to react.

"It's a talking tree!" Gray and Lucy exclaimed in surprise to see the wizard saint looking like a tree

The old tree-man stopped laughing and donned a more serious attitude.

"I must welcome you all to my home." The old tree man greeted the group.

"are you Warrod Sequeen?" Erza asked.

"indeed." The tree man replied with a smile. "I am Warrod Sequeen, member of the Four Emperors of Ishgal."

"so he's the real deal.." Lucy muttered out.

"it was just a joke." Said Warrod all the sudden as this made everyone except Natsu to look shock but the tree man added. "just kidding."

"this guy…" Gray muttered out as Lucy nodded in understanding.

"Now, which two of you are Natsu and Gray?" Warrod asked and just before the group could answer, the old man picked up Kiara and Charla up. "I must say, you two are much more furry animal like that I imagined!" He began to laugh again as he placed the two back on the ground. "I'm just joking! What a joke!"

"He sure is energetic for an old guy." Lucy commented as the tree-man continued to flail around in his hysterics.

"that he is." Erza nodded in agreement.

"It seems all that laughing has made me parched." The old man cleared his throat and lifted the watering can he was holding overhead. He began pouring the water into his mouth, laughing all the while. Once again he succeeded in shocking Wendy.

"is this guy really a Wizard Saint?" Charla asked with a sweatdrop.

The group soon came outside as they gathered by a picnic table together.

"now then, let me go and start with the job I requested from your guild." Said Warrod while placing a book on the table that has Kiara and Charla sitting on. The old tree man then coughs before opening the book. "Ever since my retirement from guild life I have dedicated my life to returning deserts to the green lands they once were."

"You were a guild member, Warrod-san?" Erza asked in a bit of a surprise.

Warrod chuckled at the question. "I was, and a fine one too!" He then returned to his more leveled demeanor. "I'm determined to stop the spread of deserts with my Green Magic." The old tree man held out an open hand to the curious group. A red and pink flower slowly sprouted in his palm. Clearly a demonstration of his form of magic. "I could boast and say that it's a charity work, but it is really more of a hobby than anything else."

"wow!" said Wendy in amazement.

"and here is my request," Warrod said as flips the pages of the book. "As I said earlier, my wanting to restore deserts to their natural green states is a hobby. As such I've been travelling many deserts over the years, but during of these travels, i stumbled upon a very peculiar village."

"Peculiar?" Lucy asked. "in what way?"

"the name of the village is the Sun Village" Warrod replied as he points a finger at the opened book's page as everyone looks at a picture of what looked to be a sun shining down on a village of people. There was also a drawing of a giant fire next to the sun. "According to records. Its residents worship an eternally burning flame as their guardian deity."

"a flames that never dies?" Natsu asked as Warrod nodded in reply.

"but everything in that village is frozen." The tree man stated in as this made the group look confused and surprised.

"frozen?" Gray said.

"i do not know whether the ice is a natural disaster or if it's man-made, but everything in the village: the people, the animals, plants, even the eternal flame itself; they have all been frozen solid." Warrod stated. "the entire village just covered in ice."

"A frozen flame?!" said Lucy

"How is that possible?" Wendy asked, sharing the blonde's surprise

"I do not know what happened to the village, but the frozen people are still alive." Warrod said.

"Their frozen but, still alive?" Gray said

"Is such a thing even possible?" Charla pondered to herself while Kiara squeals with her head tilted.

"Living beings are frozen in that village. My conscience cannot allow me to simply let them be. I ask you all to save that village." Warrod stated as he closes his eyes for a moment before opening them to look at the group. "That is my request. Will you take it?"

Everyone looked at each other before smiling while nodding

"we will" Natsu stated as everyone nodded in agreement. "Fairy Tail never backs down from any challenges."

Warrod nodded with a smile to their determination.

"but a quick question." Said Gray with a hand raised. "I get that this ice can be melted with Natsu since he can use fire and everything. Bu i don't see why I need to be here."

"Quite the contrary…" Warrod argued. "This is no ordinary ice. I'm certain your abilities will be needed as well."

"no ordinary ice?" said Gray with an eyebrow raised.

"Forgive my impertinence, Warrod-san…" Erza began. "But are you not a powerful wizard in your own right? Why would you need our aid in solving this problem instead of doing it on your own…?"

"I believe you all may have overestimated me some." Warrod smirked. "Though we are given the title of 'Wizard Saint' that doesn't exactly mean that we are all-powerful. We are mostly assigned the position by the Council without much say in the matter. Truth be told there are numerous wizards in Ishgal who surpass my ability, and I am even smaller in terms of power outside of Ishgal. I have very little in the way of offensive magic so I doubt I would be victorious if I were to do battle with a young wizard."

"Perhaps but…" Erza muttered out

"everyone has their strengths and weaknesses" Warrod stated before he looks at the sky above. "I may be a famed individual, but I am just as insignificant small man in this big world. why do you think a guild is made for? It's the comradery and the bond that you all grew together and nourish together that is what makes you a guild that has the most powerful bond in the whole wide world"

Everyone looks at Warrod as they felt a bit at awe to his words

"So where is the village?" Charla asked.

"About 1200 miles to the south." Warrod answered while pointing at the direction.

"That is quite the distance." Erza said.

"we got Draco." Said Natsu as he lifted his left mechanical hand up and showed the Golden Celestial Gem that shines a bit before the Dragon spirit of the north sky was summoned yet again while standing upon the land.

"my my, an unknown celestial spirit." Said Warrod with a smile. "as expected, Fairy Tail has fascinating allies."

"we do" said Natsu as everyone soon gets on Draco.

"I will be depending on you, young wizards of Fairy Tail!" Warrod called out as Draco started to fly into the air and heads south.

"we will see you soon, Warrod-san!" Erza hollered out as everyone waved goodbye to the Wizard Saint. "we will complete your request!"

Warrod looked at them with a smile as Draco flew away.

"It does flow ever onward, doesn't it?" Warrod muttered out as he then started to reminisce a small girl with long flowing blonde hair, and more importantly he thought back to the formation of a guild named Fairy Tail. His smile grew wider. "It's been 105 years since then, hasn't it?" He looked up to the sky. "Mavis…your desires live on in these young people."

Draco flew in the sky as team Fairy Tail are on their way to the Sun Village and save it from its cold prison.


That's a wrap!

Bye bye
