Year X791


My emerald eyes opened to gaze upon a magnificent pale blue sky. The last thing I remembered was standing in that circle, about to be hit by Acnologia... Was I dead? If so... Did the beautiful crystal blue skies mean that I was in heaven? Nope I wasn't dead. There was no way that I would go to heaven. Just at that moment my magnificent view of the sky was obscured by a white haired boy. Xavier. Yep, I certainly wasn't in heaven and certainly wasn't dead. Unless hell had a makeover?

"Wake up sleepy head," Xavier laughed patting my head. Instinctively, I punched him in the face. As Xavier fell back, I slowly got up from the ground. Looking around, I noticed that we were all still on Tenrou. Not to mention that everyone was here. They were all alive! I still couldn't believe it. It was too much of a miracle that we had all survived. It was definitely more likely that hell had a makeover... Hang on a sec was that Jet and Droy!? Bisca and Alzack!? Not to mention Max! Why the hell did they all look so old!

So it turns out that for 7 years we had been trapped in time on Tenrou island. Just before Acnologia was about to attack, when we were all holding hands. Mavis, well my mother, had converted our bonds of friendship into magic power which had in turn activated one of the three grand fairy spells, known as Fairy Sphere.

"My word," Makarov spoke, "To think we were saved by Fairy Tail's founding master." I watched as the figure of Mavis began to float upwards into the sky. I heard the words that she spoke but didn't listen. Just hearing the sound of her voice after all of this time was enough to overwhelm me. It had been so long since I had felt such happiness... Such joy... We were alive and I had been able to see Mavis again... My mother...

"You should be proud of the guild you built," Mavis spoke, "They're wonderful!" The smile that spread across her face there was enough to make one fall upon my own. It had been too long since I had smiled, over seven years to be exact. With that, she was gone. Sure, I wanted her to come back - but that would have been selfish. Greedy. I was content with what happiness I shared right now with my fellow guild mates.

"Hey Faya," I turned around to see Xavier.

"What is it?" I asked. Somehow I knew that what he was going to say was going to ruin the happy mood.

"Is it just me or do you look a lot like Master Mavis. Don't tell me that I'm the only one who's seen the resemblance." There was a lot of muttering between the guild members as to how we looked alike. Great. I hated it when I was the center of attention like this. Thanks a lot Xavier. I walked away from the rest of my guild mates and deeper into the forest. There was something that I needed to do. I needed to go find Raina and Avera. They could be anywhere on the island for all I knew.

"Where are you going Faya?" I heard a voice say. I turned around to see Bluebell staring up a me.

"Going to find Raina and Avera," I answered, "They could be anywhere on the island right now." Bluebell nodded before speaking again.

"Let me help," she insisted, "It'll take ages if you search by yourself. I have my aera magic remember!" I nodded. It wouldn't take as long if I looked from the air with Bluebell.

"Alight then," I spoke as Bluebell flew me up into the air. It didn't take us long to find the two missing prisoners considering that they weren't where we left them. We found them both, still unconscious from all that had happened, in a clearing. As soon as we landed I rushed beside Raina while Bluebell went over to Avera. I could sense that they were both still alive which was lucky. For some reason, after all they had put us through, I was glad knowing that they were both still alive...

"Raina," I spoke softly. There was no reply. After speaking her name countless times, there was nothing left for it. I grabbed both of her shoulders tightly and began to shake her limp body.

"What do you think you're doing!?" I heard the voice of Avera exclaim. It seemed that Bluebell had succeed in waking Avera then. I still ignored that pale turquoise exceed anyway. This was the best method that I knew to wake somebody up! Slowly, I watched as Raina's dark blue eyes flickered open. I let go of her shoulders allowing her to sit up.

"What happened, " she murmured, slightly dazed. Briefly, I explained everything that I knew about what had happened.

"So..." Raina started.

"To put a long story short Fairy Tail saved us." Avera spoke. There was a silence. I watched the pale golden sunlight dance through the trees illuminating the small clearing. This was a new day, a new year. This was our chance to start a new.

"Would you two like to come back to the camp with us?" I spoke, getting up from the ground and extending out my hand. Raina and Avera exchanged glances before Raina grasped my hand in hers.

"We'd love to," She smiled. It was the first time that I had seen her smile. A warm smile filled to the brim with warm and joy. This was probably one of the first times that she had been accepted in her life.

We soon arrived back to where the rest of the guild was. Nobody seemed to notice our return and luckily they weren't talking about my resemblance to Mavis anymore. Presumably, Makarov had told them all about my heritage... I should have know that it was a bad idea to bring Raina and Avera back to where the rest of the guild was. Something was bound to happen and it did - but not right away. I watched as Raina scanned over all of the guild members until her eyes locked upon the blue haired girl in the bright orange dress. Levy McGarden. I should have definitely seen this coming. Anger flashed violently on Raina's face as she charged forwards.

"Raina!" I heard Avera call after her friend. I began to run forwards. Everyone else was still oblivious to what was going. I had to stop this! But there was no way that I was going to be able to catch up. Suddenly, I felt my foot catch on a tree root as I began to hurtle towards the ground.

"Levy!" I cried out - the panic lurking evidently in my voice. I watched as Levy looked up. Fear shone in her eyes as she spotted the water dragon rushing towards her. Everyone else in the guild could see what was going on. Nobody was near enough to stop it. I watched as water violently encircled around Raina's right fist.

"I waited 21 years!" she yelled out. I could hear the hurt choking her voice, "All because of you!" I closed my eyes. I couldn't watch this. I was not going to watch Levy get mercilessly attacked by this dragon slayer while I could do nothing but watch. However, closing my eyes wouldn't close my ears from the screams...

I waited, eyes tightly shut, for the dreaded sound of Levy's screams... But there were none. Cautiously, I opened my eyes dreading the sight that I would come across. I gasped as my eyes fell upon the vision before me. There was no way that what I was seeing was real. There, standing in front of Levy, was the mist-like glowing figure of a small blue haired girl with bright hazel eyes. Her small hands were wrapped around Raina's fist - who had appeared to have frozen in shock. It also appeared that everyone else had frozen in shock as well...

"Don't you dare lay a finger on my big sister!" The little girl yelled. Aki...
