On with the story
It was a normal day in Magnolia as the birds were flying in the sky
Within Fairy Tail, the number one guild of Fiore
The members were partying as usual like every single day
In front of the request board was Aya, now a full pledged 12 years old mage of Fairy Tail
She now wears her father's signature scarf around her neck and his ring around a necklace
"hmmmm, what should I do today?" Aya asked herself while humming a bit as she eyed all the requests that were displayed on the board
"hey, Aya, I get that you're pumped up and all but are you sure that you want to do this alone?" Nab who was nearby asked the girl "I think it's better if you had Gray and the others with you"
"nope, I can do this with just North" Aya said before the said wolf came to her side and barked
Nab sighs and scratches the back of his head as he sees that there was no talking it out of her
Aya's eyes scan around the request board before she grins and takes one paper off of the board
"I'm going to do this!" Aya said while North barks
The next day came as Aya had set out to do the quest with North
"let's see" Aya takes out the request paper as it was an extermination quest with the reward in a hefty amount. After reading it, Aya then pockets the paper
"come on, North" Aya told the wolf "let's finish this quest quick and head back home, neechan is going to make some beef stew tonight!"
North barks in reply as Aya get on his back before the wolf ran off to the distance
At a forest, a few kilometres away from Magnolia
Dozens of explosions rang out as giant boars came flying in the air
"Oraaaa!" Aya shouted out as she punched a boar in the face with a flaming punch
The boar squealed before flying in the air, in the form of a crisp
Aya clapped her hands in satisfaction as she finished up cleaning the wild boars in the forest
"done with that" Aya said before hearing the bushes shaking
She turns around and sees one boar was running away
"like I let you!" Aya chased after the boar in the forest as North runs behind her
They chased after the boar as the boar ran towards the edge of a cliff before squealing at Aya and North
"no where to run now!" Aya said while cracking her knuckles before she heard the bushes behind her shaking
She turns around and sees dozens of boars coming out
"an ambush?!" Aya exclaimed in surprise as the wild boar let the two into a trap
The boar squealed as the rest of the boars went to attack
Aya punches a boar in the face before doing it to another as she and North were doing their best to take them out
A boar was raking its hoof on the ground before charging towards Aya who was busy kicking away another boar
"what!?" Aya saw the attack coming as she got rammed by the boar
"guh!" Aya was pushed to the edge of the cliff as she fell towards it
Her hands caught the edge of the cliff as she was hanging on for dear life
"damnit!" Aya tried to pull herself up but failed as the ground crumbles
North came and bite on her sleeves, nearly seconds as Aya nearly fell
The wolf tried to pull up Aya but her sleeves got ripped and the mage fell down the cliff
Aya screams as she sees the ground before her world went dark
Aya's eyes slowly opened as the first thing she sees is the orange sky
Aya was in a mud hole of some sort as she had fell off the cliff but the mud somehow cushioned her fall
"wha.." Aya slowly sat up before she winced in pain as she looks to her right leg and sees a quite purplish bruise on it "god damnit"
Aya tried to get up but the bruise on her right leg was making searing pain run up her body
The sound of North's barking and whining were heard from above as Aya looks to see the wolf
"I'm okay, North!" Aya shouted out while trying to push herself up "get back to the guild…and call for some help!"
North barks and whines a bit before he went off to her order
Aya finally got herself to sit up as she looks to her wound and it was quite brutal
"haaaa….must be what I get for not listening to neechan and the others" Aya said with a sigh
Aya felt something missing around her neck as she sees that her father's scarf was not on her
"where is it?" Aya looks around the mud hole as she finds the scarf behind her
Aya reaches for the scarf and take it but what she didn't know is that there was a snake hiding under the scarf
"a snake!?" Aya exclaimed in surprise as the snake lunged at her and bit her shoulder
"oow!" Aya grabbed the snake and threw it away
The snake slithered away as it disappeared
Aya's vision soon turned blurry as she started seeing triples out of everything
"p-poison.." Aya fell down as she tried to fight back the poision but it was running in her veins
"someone…help…..someone…" Aya tried to call out for help but her voice was weakening from the poison
Aya tried to move, she tried to find a way to survive but her effort was worthless
"neechan…..mama….help" Aya muttered out as her vision was darkening "…..pa…..pa"
Aya's world soon turned dark, but before her eyes closed, she saw a glowing figure approaching her from the distance
Her eyes closed as the darkness came
The sun was slowly sinking off the horizon as the night was coming
Aya was being carried on the back of a figure as they were heading towards Magnolia
The young mage slowly wakes up as her vision soon returned
Aya felt a bit dazed but she was fine
She looks at the side and sees that she was on someone's back
Aya turned towards the person who was carrying her, as the first thing he sees is pink hair
She thought that it was her sister who had came to save her but the pink hair was in a spiky form
"pa…pa?" she mumbled out before falling back asleep
The night came as the sky was filled with stars and the moon in full form
At the Dragist's home, Meredy was in a panic
"what do you mean, she isn't there!?" Meredy exclaimed at Gray while strangling him "she has to be there!"
"calm down, Meredy!" Lucy told the girl while trying to pry her hands off of Gray
"she's right, Meredy. Killing Gray won't help us find Aya" Lyon told her while carrying his son
"you should be worried too!" Meredy exclaimed at her husband "Aya is out there and we have no idea on where she might even be!"
Meredy's shouting instantly made her son cry as Meredy realized what she had done and started calming her son down
Ur sighs as this had been going on after Gray and the others came back on a rescue mission for Aya
North was barking outside as the wolf clawed his paws on the back door
Ur went to the back door and opens it
"What is it, North?" Ur asked the wolf who barked and face towards the forest
Ur looks to the forest and her eye widen in surprise
"AYA!?" Ur screamed in surprise as in the forest, leaning against a tree was Aya
"what!?" Meredy and the others exclaimed in surprise as they ran outside to find Aya unconscious and had bandages all around her legs and arm
"oh my god, Aya!" Meredy went to her little sister as she hugged her while letting out a relieved sigh
Aya slowly wakes up as she finds herself in a bear hug with her big sister
"nee….chan?" Aya mumbled out
"thank god you're safe!" Meredy said while crying a bit as she hugs her little sister tight
"tight…" Aya said before Meredy separates from the hug
Gray kneeled down beside Aya as he checked the bandages around her
"who wrapped you up and brought you back?" Gray asked Aya who shook her head
"i….don't know" Aya replied with pure confusion in her face
While the group was outside, Ultear was at her room, watching everything unfold by the window
Ultear smiled as she sees her daughter safe and sound
"thank you.." Ultear softly spoke out as behind her was Natsu
Natsu smiled and nodded before the man glowed and turns into sparkles
The sparkles fly around Ultear before disappearing
Ultear smiled as she looks to the night sky, as the stars were shining in the sky
That's a wrap!
Bye bye
