Author's Notes: Announcement! I have recently started a new story which has surprisingly been the most popular so far and… I think you should read it! I've been on a roll digging for my imaginative gold so hopefully the story will steadily earn more readers, nonetheless (you sneaks I know you just skipped this)… Let the awesomeness begin!

Chapter 7

'Where are you from?'

'Why did you come in with Natsu?' (Wiggly eyebrows)

'What magic do you use?'

'Where do you live?'

'Do you like to drink?' (Guess who?)

'Do you like to read?'

'Do you have a boyfriend?'

The questions were flying at me so quickly that I was starting to get dizzy. The crowd around me was surprisingly large, I almost laughed at the rainbow of hair colors that surrounded me. The loud brunette that sat next to me at the bar was slamming her beer mug against the counter laughing at… I really have no idea what she's laughing at. The meek bluenette that sat opposite to the overly loud drunk was really trying to get her quiet voice over the almost screaming voices of the other guild members.

She was really quite cute, long pieces of her blue hair hung framing her face on either side with the rest being held back by an orange headband. Her orange dress clung to… whatever chest that was there (which I couldn't really see). A white bow tied to its center, making it a halter, with long flowing sleeves that weren't attached to her dress. She was relatively close to my height, which was nice because everyone was really tall here (except the Master *giggle*). The color of her eyes nearly matched my own and although her all of her features were slightly smaller than mine I had reached the conclusion that made her special in my eyes, zing! Like an instant connection.

I turned to face her fully, "What's your name?" I asked, putting a hint of innocence in my voice. She looked at me with surprise in her features, almost as if she thought I wouldn't have noticed her.

"My name is Levy!" She squeaked with an underlying tone of confidence rising. Louder now she asked me, "Do you like books?" I smiled.

"I love books! I'm actually writing one myself right now…" I finished shyly. With that said probably one of my longest conversations in the history of ever was started. Later on when we started to tone down I noticed that the people that had surrounded me were now back to their respective tables, chatting with one another animatedly. I sighed in delight, it's good for me to be around these kind of people… happy people.

Without any forewarning I was sent into another vision:

"Everyone…" I sobbed, the people that surrounded me all lay face down blood seeping through their clothes and soaking the floor in a deep crimson. I gasped, looking around frantically from my position kneeling on the floor.

"Asahi!"

"ASAHI!" I screamed frightened for the sake of my lover. Rising quickly, tripping over bodies with a sob, I managed to make it towards the courtyard. Passing the familiar walls that practically raised me, because my father didn't. Stumbling quickly through the twists and turns I reached the houses center, a large pond with a bridge overlooking it, the usual bright pink flowers that decorated the surrounding Sakura trees were now black with ash. The limbs of the once great and prideful trees were limply falling towards the red stained water. It's once serene blue now drenched with the color of death, blood, bodies lazily floated in the masses.

Clank! Clink! I turned my attention towards the bridge where the sounds of battle were ringing from. I saw Asahi doused in blue flames and a man whom I had never met, his face covered effectively by the night. The only thing noticeably different about the man was his eyes, they were two different colors a piercing red and blue. Only before my heart shattered.

Asahi let out a resounding cry before he fell to his knees, his flames dissipating into nothingness, a sword protruding from his abdomen.

"ASAHI!"

I cried…

I ran…

I caught him…

But I wasn't quick enough…

Life was draining from his beautiful onyx eyes as he looked at me, I could see his pain… his suffering… his happiness. When his eyes had finally closed and he had taken his last breath, I gently put his head in my lap stroking his soft tufts of pink hair. The tears were already there before I had called them and with a final kiss to his lips I whispered softly in his ear, "Wait for me, I'm coming…"

I turned to glare at the culprit and spat, "There will be a time in which we will outsmart you… When that time comes we will happy and you will be dead… There is no escaping you, isn't that right Hitsuzen…" With that said he chuckled darkly staring directly at me with his haunting eyes.

"Time will tell disobedient ones…" With those final words he took the sword out of Asahi's body and into my own, I gasped in pain. Brilliant light were clouding my vision, before I could leave I rested my tired body next to my beloved. I put my head on his chest taking my final breaths in stride sensing the ensuing darkness, with one final gasp for air I fluttered my eyes close feeling the fire creep towards us as it captured us whole.

Levy's POV

I looked at Lucy as she continued our talk on books, I was so excited to have another book lover in the guild. Out of nowhere though her eyes became glassy and it scared me… so I screamed.

"Lucy! Hey, Lucy, are you okay?" I was shaking her and she was crying silent tears as she whimpered the names of people in a language I couldn't understand. Natsu was there in a flash looking into her eyes and then abruptly wrapping his arms around her shoulders.

The guild was silent, their eyes trained on us. The Master walked up to us and asked me specifically a series of questions:

"When did this start?"

"Her eyes just went white a few minutes ago."

"Did she say anything?"

"She did… but it was in a language I don't know."

"Wha-" He started but didn't finish because of the light that started to radiate from Lucy's body.

Natsu stepped back and looked at her, she was facing the guild as she started to float upwards glowing brightly. Her golden hair whipping in an invisible wind her clothes rustling with the wind. Her eyes had closed for the moment but snapped open not a moment later… they were completely gold.

Everyone was too stunned to move at the beauty hovering in the air. A ghost like figure started to surface from her body, one with long flowing hair and a beautiful flowing… dress? (Kimono).

"With the resurfacing memories of those destined to be forgotten, Chiharu and Asahi…" With the mention of Asahi from the ethereal forms mouth Natsu clutched his head and crumpled to the ground screaming in pain. "The plague has been brought upon you, those near them, as well. If you wish to be saved you will follow my instructions… kill them, there is no other way… because the great Hitsuzen deemed to be so…" There were no gasps, aside from Master, Erza, Gray, and Mira, because no one knew what was going on. "If you choose to disobey like the generations before… you will be struck down. Do not fight the path you have been given!" With that the glowing had subsided, Natsu's screaming as well, and Lucy's body was lowered next to Natsu on the floor both unconscious.

Lucy's POV

I rose with a gasp looking around at the shocked faces of the guild, then forced my gaze towards the face of the worry stricken Master.

"Has this ever happened before?" He said with a sense of urgency and irritation.

I shook my head quickly in bewilderment, I swallowed and said. "This has never happened before… I've never had a vision during the day…" I said but panic rising quickly when I remembered my vision, looking at the man's doppelganger lying on the floor next to me. Upon realization I started to hyperventilate, staring at the Master again and gripped his small shoulders frantically. "He's coming!" I repeated over and over like a mantra to keep myself from going mad.

"Who's coming?!" He yelled over my frantic chanting.

"Hitsuzen!" I yelled before the world went black.
