While we had been away fighting Raina and Avera, apparently Freed, Bickslow and Gildarts had returned to the island after seeing the red signal flare. It was good to know that we had those three on our side in the war against Grimoire Heart! Apparently, a few members of Grimoire Heart had attacked the camp while we were gone as well. How long had we seriously spent fighting Raina and Avera? But now wasn't the time for me to worry about that - now was time for me to get some sleep...
We all woke up early in the morning. While we had been sleeping it seemed that our wounds had all been bandaged up. It was decided that we were all going to check on the battle with Hades. We could even try and help out since our magic had recovered during the night. We found the Grimoire Heart flying ship thingy (well their guild hall - accept it wasn't a guild hall) completely destroyed. No surprise there. When we arrived we saw some of the lesser members of Grimoire Heart chasing Happy and Carla. However, as soon as they saw us - they turned tail and ran! I should have guessed they'd do that. Dark guilds are usually cowards. Serially, they were scared of a group of injured wizards! But to be fair to them - we were a group of injured Fairy Tail wizards. Anybody would be scared of that!
We ended up heading back to camp to relax. For some strange reason Laxus was there as well. Apparently, he had helped with the fight against Hades - and now Natsu was a lightning flame dragon. He was now a duel element dragon slayer... I wanted a duel element! I could be a... something flame dragon... yeah... Anyway, I didn't really speak to Laxus. Though I could see him chatting with Lisanna and Lokni. That reminded me, Laxus didn't know about Lisanna coming back... I guessed that he was finding out all about it right now... Juvia had returned. Apparently Gray had sent her on a mission to go and retrieve Zeref or something like that. From what I had heard, it seemed as if she had failed.
Now, we all sat relaxing and talking about what had happened. It had been decided that the trails would be put to a stop for this year, though apparently Cana had found Mavis's grave, though I didn't get to know any more about that because she went off with Lucy to tell Gildarts something. Now that I thought about it... The two smelled slightly similar... Though it was probably nothing. Just coincidence. I was busy talking to Xavier. We didn't have much to talk about really, but still... "Shouldn't you be with your siblings?" I asked him as he approached.
"All siblings are irritating to some level," he grinned, "no matter how much you care for them." Xavier sighed. "I've never really felt like I belong with them... I've been kept away from them my whole life really... I've never really got chance to form a relationship with them. They're all closer with each other than they are with me really..." I nodded.
"I've never really had siblings so..."
"You could have had siblings I guess," Xavier pondered, "Since you don't remember your past. I doubt that they'd still be alive though..." He trailed off. The expression on my face must had been a gloomy one. I doubted that I had any siblings, from what I knew about my family... Little did I know that thinking on the subject back then - I was wrong.
"You know what?" Xavier spoke interrupting my thoughts, "I took a closer look at that Hades guy a little while back... Guess who he reminded me a lot of?"
"Who?" I was interested now.
"Well... Do you remember back around when we first met?" I nodded. "Do you remember that game Miriza made us all play? The one where we had to find something to eat. If you found something you had to try it first and you would loose if it was poisonous?" I laughed.
"How could I not forget that suicidal game!" Miriza was crazy back them - it wasn't like anything had really changed though... (I'm so lad that she can't hear my thoughts!) Xavier laughed a little before carrying.
"You remember how You, me and Lokni decided that we would go search together?" At that point Xavier spoke in a more hushed voice. I guessed that he still didn't want Miriza to find out that we had cheated whilst playing the game back then... Knowing her she would probably still be mad... "Hades kind of reminded me of that strange guy we randomly bumped into in the forest.. You know, the guy who completely forgot that I existed?"
I thought about what Xavier was saying for a moment. I only had seen a small glimpse of Hades... But now that I thought about it... From what I remembered he did seem to resemble the strange man we had encountered in the forest that day. That strange man had called me Mavis. According to Makarov, Hades had been one of the people who helped found Fairy Tail alongside her... So I guess that it could be possible that the two were the same person... I really shouldn't be worrying about that ow anyway... If Hades had really helped found Fairy Tail - how come we was such an awful person? Had he been corrupted or something? Anyway, it was nothing for me to worry about now. "I should really go check on Raina and Avera," Xavier spoke getting up, "I guess we can't really leave them here now... since the war between our guilds is over and all..." I nodded. I knew what he meant. It would be cruel to leave them here after everything that happened.
I decided that it would be nice to take a walk among the Tenrou trees. I stayed close to camp. I really thought that the trees were beautiful here. That green friendly aura... The golden tint that the leaves all had... I loved it here. It was like a second home to me... I only hoped that I didn't loose track of time while I was out here - or wander too far away from the camp... "Hello Faya Dragneel." The voice made me stop. I looked up. In front of me was a young woman who I recognized all too well. I had seen her in my dream before... I remembered how she had also stabbed me in that dream all well... She looked almost exactly the same as she had in the dream. Her clothes were the same, though part of her hair was held up in a small bun to the right hand side of her head. She gave me a cold smile. "Remember that dream you had just a little while back... You know, the one with me?" Had this woman made me have that dream!? I could tell that she sensed I was agitated. "I only came here for one reason," she spoke gently, "And that was to meet you Faya Dragneel."
"Why would you want to see me?" I asked - plucking up the courage to speak.
"I wanted to meet face to face with you before you died of course!" before I died? What was she trying to say? Was she teasing me - or was this some sort of warning...
"He's coming..." she spoke looking me in the eye. "It was nice meeting you. Sister." The girl turned and walked away in the opposite direction to the camp. What did she mean by 'sister'... And who was coming. Just at that moment I heard a strange sound... It was loud and shook the very earth beneath my feet. I heard it once again. I began to run back towards camp. It sounded a lot like a dragon (not that I'd ever heard a dragon before). Was this what that woman had been talking about!?
Author's note:
I am terribly sorry about how slow the updates have been getting recently. However, I am even more sorry about the fact how I haven't had enough time to post any new drawings for my generation zero drawings - I'll try and get one up when I can :(
Anyway, thank you all for supporting this story. I still can't believe how far I've managed to get with it!
