It is Fairy Tail Day~ Although not a big fan of the new arc, it has it's interesting moments. If you are following an Ice Trail a story about Gray.. the new chapter is up today! But on the other hand here is my Chapter Three. With this new Sequel I have no idea where to stop. I am reading the manga so maybe I will continue throughout the Tartarus Arc but that is a long way to go, so we'll see.
Thanks for coming back or otherwise: Hello and welcome. I hope you enjoy your stay hihi.
Chapter 3: Hello euh… I'm home!
I jumped off the balcony. If I wanted to do this straight, I have to wait till everyone was back and walk into the Inn and explain what happened. I sighed, great I didn't like a big audience. I looked down from the roof that I just jumped on and saw Lisanna and Happy on their way. There was a deep frown on both their faces and I couldn't resist but follow. I heard them: Wendy and Charla were lost. They had no idea where the two of them were. The City was a very big City, just like Happy said. I smiled but this would be easy if you could trace the whole town. I jumped down the roof and walked the steps on the bridge. "Well lucky for the four of you." I removed the hood and looked up to my fellow Guild-members. If you could still call me a Guild member. "Luka!" I took a step back because the impact Happy made in my chest. A bit weird but I allowed him for this time. I hugged him back. "It's good to see you Happy. Lisanna. Nab. Romeo." They all stared at me, no words that came. "Yeah let's have the welcome back party later. I will help find Wendy. I can trace her essence throughout the town." I said in order to stop the silence.
Lisanna quickly came out of the trance that she was put in thanks to my appearance. She took quick steps towards me and stood before me, it was only a matter of seconds. She looked at me with an angry face before she pulled me close and hugged me. "I'm so glad that you are alive." I smiled and held her too because the feeling was mutual. "Let's go find Wendy." I jumped up on the rail of the Bridge and closed my eyes. I knew Wendy her essence so I could skip on all the rest of the impressions of this enormous city. This could take a few minutes and I hoped that Lisanna would take the opportunity to gather people. There must be something wrong, Wendy would never walk off like this.
"Tell Warren I found her," I opened my eyes and looked at the Labyrinth up in the air. "She is in the Light Palace, Mercurius." I jumped off the rail and looked at Lisanna and Happy. Romeo and Nab would hopefully find the others and tell them. I caressed Romeo through his hair. "It is good to see you." I muttered before I quickly took of with Lisanna, towards the palace. We had some distance to cover but at least no one was in our way. Everyone around the City were sitting at pubs or sitting at the rails of bridges to look up to the Sky Labyrinth. Erza was so close yet so far away.
The Palace was really big and I've never been there yet, I could feel Wendy her essence from this point. Only there were guards in front of the palace. Which of course is logical, it would be weird to allow people inside the Palace's walls after midnight, right?
I let Lisanna handle the words, I wasn't good with company. Imagine almost five years being alone or otherwise join Jellal, Ultear and Meredy. Not the real conversational people. Lisanna explained that someone of our Guild who was meant to participate in the elimination round, right now, was missing. "I'm an Earth Mage and her essences comes from the Palace. The Gardens I think. We are very close." I buttered in. The Guards looked from Lisanna to me, to Happy and so on. "His Majesty looks forward to the Grand Magic Games. You can look in the courtyard, if you say she is there." A look at me. I nodded and passed them with Lisanna and Happy right behind me. "Thanks," I heard her, see that's what I meant. I'm not social.
The whole Courtyard looked like a labyrinth so I focused when we got inside to place the feeling. Sometimes I had to check again to check left from right but we quickly found her. Happy found her first because he flew in front of me and Lisanna.
I stood a bit awkward while Happy held Charla and Lisanna rose Wendy. "Wait, maybe she is wounded." We checked but couldn't find any outer wounds, but their magic power was almost gone. Wendy woke up but she couldn't tell us more information than we already knew. "Don't force yourself. We have to bring you to a doctor." I said and watched Warren and the others come in. Alzack and Max pointed at me and I cursed, I should have lifted my hood over my facebefore they came. "L-L-L" Alzack stuttered. "Yes Alzack, nice seeing you again. You've changed. Hey Max." Warren seemed to be less surprised but I didn't care for now. He would maybe freak out later. I followed the three men when they lifted Wendy and brought her to the Hospital Wing of Domus Flau. That's where I took my queue and left. I would come back later. This was so difficult that I couldn't decide what to do.
I took my refuge at the roof opposite of the Honey Bone Inn. So I could watch but they couldn't see me. I covered my pink hair with the Hood of my cape. I should look for the Dragon's Essence but here I was, staring at the Inn. Laxus his team returned and I had the feeling, he looked up at the roof. Did second generation Dragon Slayers, as Lecter called it, also have this great sense of smell?
A few moments later Erza returned and I held my breath, as if she could hear me. Natsu looked up, the same as Laxus had done. Although Laxus his eyes had shifted around my hiding place, Natsu seemed to look directly at me. "Something wrong?" Erza said and he finally looked away. He shrugged and entered the inn.
It was only a matter of seconds before Erza busted out of the Inn again and looked around. Everywhere but up here. "Where is she?" I felt a chill going down my spine. "If you smelled her Natsu, if you have seen her Happy, why didn't you tell me!" Was this my moment? I think so. I jumped down, I hope gracefully. I might have been a bit smaller than Erza back when I was seventeen, now we had the same height. Now I was exactly five years older. I dropped the hood and she stared at me. Angry, hopeful, happy and she was crying. "Luka.", "Erza!" I ran towards her, I will always be the little sister. No matter if I was older or not. I flung myself into her strong arms and hoped to never leave again. I would never be a 24 year old as long as Erza was near me. I started to cry too. I missed my guild, I have missed my friends. Not only the ones whom had been stuck on Tenrou but also Bisca, Laki, Max, Warren, Alzack, Macao and all the others. How could I have left without ever returning? There was so much regret that I felt and it became worse when Erza finally let go of me.
She pulled me into the Inn and as usual with Fairy Tail, it was very loud and noisy. To celebrate the Team's Victory. Erza was participating in the Grand Magic Games. I looked at Laxus who stood in a corner with Freed and Bickslow. He didn't look up to me. However someone said my name and soon enough all the ruckus died out and everyone was looking at me. "Euh.. Hey.. I'm home." I said and I shrugged and looked probably very uncomfortable. Suddenly the cheering began again and I heard people say my name. Cana handed me a pitcher. Bisca hugged me so tight I thought she almost killed me. Natsu screamed he wanted to have a match with me. He never has done that before so it made my smile only wider.
I would never have guessed that I would miss these people, my family so much. To see their smiles, why would I have guessed that they would be angry. Why in my right mind, did it never came up to me that they would be happy to see me? Bisca chatted to me and brought me to Master and I couldn't stop smiling and crying at it. I wiped my tears every five seconds so no one would see. "Let's have a toast on Luka and Fairy Tail making it into the Grand Magic Games!", "Oi!" Everyone said and lifted their cups. It was quiet for a few seconds because people were drinking.
"It's good to see you again." I looked up from my chat with Bisca and Alzack about their daughter. "Ah. Laxus." His smile was really nice and he waved away Bisca and Alzack. Bisca raised her eyebrow at me and I smiled. "I wanted to thank you before I left." My turn to raise my eyebrow. He blushed. "You know what I'm talking about." I began to blush too and nodded. "How about your team? What happened?" Laxus looked at me and grinned. "You will see tomorrow." With that he walked off. I had no idea what he meant but I wondered what I should do. Erza drank too much and gave me a speech about the rules if you left the Guild, to never give away information about clients. As if I could recall any.
Second. Never use contacts from during the guild for personal guild. As if I could recall that.
Third. Live out your life with all your might.
And then she started to cry and held me again while shortly after that bullying Jet and Droy. "Besides if you want to date Laxus. I'm 100% behind you." I looked at her in surprise. Whaaaaat? How did she know? She winked at me and stood up, stretched and said she was off to bed.I wondered if she really had drank that much of that it was a stupid excuse to tell this to me.
I stayed to see everyone, one by one go to bed. For the preparation for tomorrow. I simply didn't feel the need to sleep myself. I had to look up the Dragon's Essence, or I guess I had to.
