Year X782


I was sitting at a table in the guildhall reading a large book with a black cover. It wasn't the sort of book I should be reading, but ever since I had discovered my true inheritance 2 years ago - I couldn't put the book down. I had read it so many times by now, I couldn't help but obsess over any information I found concerning the black wizard Zeref. Zeref, Sensei, My father. I would ask Mavis - my mother - about him whenever I went down to the basement. That was until she decided to guard Tenrou island. Now I felt even more alone than ever. Though, I did still have Bluebell. I looked around the guildhall to try and find her. I managed to spot her playing with the other cats.

In the last two years a lot had happened. Both Erza and Mira had became S-class. Additionally, The mysterious Mystogan had became S-class this year - with Miriza chosen as his partner. Apparently, she was one of the few people who had seen his true identity. I turned one of the tinted brown pages of the book before me. As soon as I was about the read the first line of the next page I heard someone call my name. "Faya!" It was Lilias. I looked up towards her. I hadn't seen her around the guild in a while as she had been allowed to tag along with a few jobs with The Thunder Legion of all teams! I looked up at her right then. Her shoulder length blonde hair was all tied up in a ponytail to the left hand side of her head. Not a strand of hair was let loose. I also noticed the pale pink daisy placed in her hair where the ponytail was formed. She was wearing a bright blue cropped top along with a pink skirt as well as knee high navy boots. Behind her flew Candy in a Rainbow dress, gently licking what looked like a strawberry flavored lolly pop she had stolen from Macao who was going to give it to his 4 year old son Romeo. If you hadn't met Romeo - he was adorable in every way possible!

"Have you seen this job?" Lilias asked giving me a job flyer, "Master said it would be fine if you and Belle came along with me and Candy." At the sound of her name, Bluebell came flying towards us to see what was going on. I quickly read the job flyer. I was a fast reader even without my wind reader glasses. To sum it up it was catching a group of robbers on a railway for 150,000 jewel. I hadn't been on a well paying job since the incident with the thug gang... I would feel like I was betraying our team. Instead, to earn money I went on the lesser paying jobs around town and worked in some of the restaurants as a waitress etc. "Look at the client's name," Lilias spoke pointing to a point on the flyer. I noticed the name I hadn't noticed before. Jude Heartfilia. Then I noticed that the robbers were on the Heartfilia Railway. "Isn't Heartfilia your second name Lilias?" She nodded answering my question.

"The Heartfilia family are a rather rich family in this era. I've always wanted to meet them to see if... Anyway, now I have my chance!"

Something felt wrong about taking the job. "Won't we be leaving the rest of our team behind?" I asked in concern. Lilias shook her head.

"Master wouldn't let them come along anyway, due to all the destruction we can all cause together. We still have two years left of training before we can go on jobs together!"

"You should go," I heard Miriza say. I turned to see her smiling at us.

"I'll be fine with you guys going!" I heard Xavier yell from halfway across the room. He was always so cheerful, especially around his siblings. I felt much more reassured now. Lokni was busy on one of his jobs I suspected. He went on jobs nonstop these days I rarely saw him around the guildhall. Xavier ran over to us. "Good luck on your job guys. I'm going to tag along on an S-class quest with Mira! Elfman and Lisanna are coming too. We're just going to fetch her!" He turned, waved, and ran out of the guildhall after his siblings.

"Miriza! Melody!" I heard Makarov call.

"Yes?" Miriza answered turning towards him.

"I've chosen you two to go take down a dark guild with Blue Pegasus's Trimens. They always saw they enjoy working with you and you all work together really well." The expression on Miriza's face answered the question as to if she enjoyed going on these missions. "I should also mention the Trimens have a new member," Makarov carried on, "He's one year younger than you and is a former member of the rune knights."

"A former rune knight can't be that bad," I heard Melody whisper to Miriza. Miriza nodded.

"Yeah," She turned towards us - a smile upon her face, "Well, I'd better be off! Let's go Melody!" The two rushed out of the guild hall. As she ran, I noticed that her hair had now grown longer. Those two hadn't changed too much though. "What are we waiting for then?" Lilias spoke. I nodded. It felt good to be able to go on a job again.

The journey to the Heartfilia Konzern was... horrific... both Lilias and I felt like we were dying. The vehicle was just so... rickety... and bouncy... My stomach... hurt... I felt so... sick... Looking at Lilias... She must have felt exactly the same way... The first time I had felt like this? Halfway through the journey back from Tenrou island. Back then only Natsu and Miriza had motion sickness, but it seems like it's a dragon slayer trait... Finally, We arrived at the Heartfilia Konzern. IT. WAS. MASSIVE! At first, I had thought it was a town. Apparently, It was all of the Heartfilia estate... And there was more...

On the way to Jude Heartfilia's office, we came across a pretty blonde haired girl around our age. The scary thing was, she looked almost identical to Lilias. She stopped when she saw us. We did as well. "Who are you?" Candy asked.

"I'm Lucy Heartfilia..." She said, "Who are you?"

"We're Fairy Tail wizards," I answered showing her my guild mark, "We've taken the job for catching the robbers."

"I'll take you to dad's office," she smiled. Jude was there waiting for us. Lucy waited outside as we walked in. Jude quickly briefed us over our job. "Tell me," Lilias said. Jude fixed his eyes upon her, "How exactly are you related to Anna Heartfilia?"

"I believe that she was my late wife's ancestor - a celestial wizard. Why do you ask?"

"I'm her daughter." After Lilias had said that, we had to quickly explain to Jude about the lacrimas and Generation zero dragon slayers.

"I see," He spoke thoughtfully, "Then I suppose you'll do a good job catching the robbers." We nodded. The 4 of us then left the room to find Lucy waiting for us outside. "Were you listening in?" I asked. She nodded.

"Do you mind if I come with you," She said, "I'm a celestial wizard so hopefully I'll be able to help you."

Lilias nodded, "We'd love to have you along!" A grateful smile formed upon Lucy's face.

"Thank you," she replied, "Just don't tell dad! I'd better get changed into some more comfortable clothing though."


Authors note:

Thank you to all of you loyal readers! I couldn't have carried this on without you all :)

The main story will be coming up soon and I've just realized that I have no clue what I'm going to do for jobs that the team of generation zero dragon slayers and exceeds (It 's so annoying to have to constantly write them as 'cats'). If you have any ideas for jobs, They'll be welcome. Also, sorry this note is on such a short notice - I only just realized when writing this chapter!

P.S. I've figured out the couples/pairings/ships (whatever you want to call them) for The 5 main generation zero dragons. Most of them are with characters from the original series, but one is with an OC that has NOT been introduced yet. If anyone is curious, all you need to do is ask :D
