Dear Reader, I please please please ask you to help me with a review. I want to know if you like it. If you love certain aspects. What you hate. I'm up to some reader suggestions to make sure the story will not get boring. Next chapter they will go on a Mission. So hopefully it even gets more active and interesting. I still can't update weekly, it comes and goes with inspiration and I think about putting the story on hold again: but I don't want that! So I really really need your help! I might start a different fanfiction in the meantime, because I'm thinking about waiting for at least one review. I'm sorry if it's too much to ask.

For those who haven't seen the previous chapters: Tartaros Spoilers!

Chapter sixteen: Eyes that see do not grow old.

Everyone was so enthusiastic because of the fact that I was able to see. The broad circle around me got smaller and I saw a lot of faces that I couldn't remember at first. However they got closer. White hair, blue eyes, blonde hair, green hair and..

All those things came back to me. My friends Lisanna Strauss, how I meet her long ago, in Edolas. But how she was taking away from me in a time lapse from the Fairy Tail Island called Tenrou Island because of none other than the fearful dragon called Agnologia. I was the only one that survived that accident because I was the volunteer that left the Island a little earlier to meet up with the ships of the Magic Council. That is how I became close contacts with Lahar and Dranbolt, two members of the Magic Council that wanted me to find someone and the Dragons. That someone, his name was on the tip of my tongue but I didn't bother. I was Luka, now Luka Scarlet, Princess of Fairies although barely anyone called me that since my sister Titania Erza was back. She together with a couple of others like my other friend Juvia Lockser were on that Island with Lisanna. Our guild lost a lot of potential and we well barely died as a guild. But we kept going through even though we thought we has lost everyone important to us. I became best friends with Bisca Mulan, now Bisca Connell and she still was very dear and important to me. She was indeed the one that went to the Library with me, the first time. With her daughter Asuka and her now-husband Alzack. Whom I liked for her.

My mind was totally going crazy at once. I was remembering everything. With all the power that I had within me, I tried not to cry. They within the Guild didn't need to see the tears streaming down my face. Cordelia. She was here, within me but now I couldn't hear her purr or her voice within me.
There was so much memories streaming into my mind that I must have fainted. I couldn't process it, not after what happened, not all the things in Edolas, Tenrou en the Grand Magic Games. Leave out the Library adventure that I had on my own. My life had been very boring after my parents were killed in Rosemary Village or well I think they were killed, I wasn't even sure. Although I meet Cordelia after that, but I didn't do anything but learn Magic. Earth Dragon Slayer Magic. Which was quite impressive if you ask me but it didn't matter for now. She was gone. Forever probably, and I had myself to teach more magic. A lot has happened since I joined Fairy Tail, even in Edolas. But I loved everyone in here on Earthland like my family. And I finally had found my sister back after being split from her for fourteen years.

"You have seen Zeref. So now you know his essence. You can help us find him." I looked up in the red eyes of Ultear. I stood up from the chair that I was sitting in. "What are you doing here? You know you are still wanted even though your track of thought has changed." I walked towards the entrance. I suddenly remembered that I was worried about her during the attack of the dragons. Because something like a time lapse had appeared or well that's what I had thought back at that time. Ultear had Time Arc, a very rare magic and she could probably spin back the time for a couple of minutes. But I didn't know what would happen to her, that's why I was worried. "Who says I'm here?" Her raven hair was changing colour but I couldn't really place into what. I frowned. "Who says you are still here?" She said and I had no idea what she meant. "Where are the others?" She said louder and I looked around, there was no one in the Guild Hall. "What did you do?" Was all I could say but I walked around the chair and try to see if people were invisible. However on a random day when I travelled with Crime Sòcier, Ultear had told me that she couldn't influence people. Only items and nature objects and so on. So I should know it wasn't here. I sat back on the chair because I felt heavy in my legs. "What do you mean I'm not here? Why are you here for?" Ultear came closer and she seemed weird, she always had a peculiar smell, not one I hated but I didn't smell it now. "You fainted, Luka. I'm here to tell you what happened in the Library." I frowned, she wasn't even there now was she. "No, I wasn't there. You are right. But I'm not here either right? I'm not longer among the living. Forget about me but talk to Meredy and Jellal, even though I know you rather not seem him.", ah yeah Jellal that was the guy that the Magic Council wanted. I remembered again. "You have seen Zeref. You figured out a few things. You have to remember. I can't tell you that. I am just in your memories. But talk to Jellal and Meredy. I beg of you. And you know I normally don't like begging. Zeref will destroy all of the country and more if you don't stop him now. So go, with the information you have. You have to find a way if he is dangerous. Natsu Dragneel and Zeref."

"Noooo! Wait! Ultear!" I quickly moved forward because she seemed to walk away but instead of seeing Ultear, I looked up in two worried faces, one of Mirajane and the other one of Erza. "Ultear?" The two of them said surprised. And I wasn't sure if Mirajane knew whom Ultear was but Erza definitely knew, and she had that familiar wrinkle in her forehead when she thought about something or wanted to know some answers by someone. In this case: me. "What happened? Did you dream about Ultear?" Was something that she said with a rather cold voice, but I thought it was more because of worrying. I looked around me instead of answering her. I was in the hospital room of the Guild and that explained what Ultear meant in my dream: I did faint. All the memories, that in the library. Zeref. Zeref tried to kill me and carved my eyes out or well that probably had been his magic. "She was just in my dream." I muttered because I didn't feel like explaining that she was no longer alive, if she was a true mirage of Ultear. I didn't really know of course, I could have dreamt everything and when I would go to find Jellal, I would see her too, but I was afraid not. I stood up even though Mira and Erza where complaining. "I feel fine, I remember everything. I need to do something fun.", "As long as you take it easy." Erza said and only because of that: some wild thought entered my mind. "Nah." I muttered and I got out of bed and walked to the wardrobe where my clothes were. I went to the bathroom and changed there. I walked downstairs, still thinking about Ultear, thanking her again and again in my head. If she didn't turn back time, I would have died, and so would Gray and probably many more that I didn't want to think too long about.

So I went downstairs and walked directly to the bar. I had fainted in front of everyone, that was not the greatest thing but I would show them that Luka Scarlet was not a weakling. Not by saying that I was attacked by Zeref. I would say that well.. to a specific group later. Not now, not everyone needed to know but the people that would go on a mission with me should. That was probably more than fair. I had also some other people to visit. I asked for a strong drink, with lots of spices and with one jug, I downed the drink. "Hey Natsu." I yelled when I got up from my five seconds seat. I saw the blue eyes of the pink haired dragon slayer looking up to me. I believe he knew what I thought because he started to grin. "Let's have a fight.", "Yes!" and I looked up to Erza on the balustrade, she facepalmed herself and I grinned. "Let's get outside." I heard Cana and Gray enthusiastic shouting that this would be an interesting match and I believed them. I was recovered and I could see. My fear for Natsu Dragoneel was unreal. It was for the demon E.N.D. but this was my friend Natsu. I would see later. So I followed Natsu and Happy outside and I heard people follow us and placing bets. Most were for Natsu, only better for me to prove that I wasn't weak.

So we were standing a little bit in front of the Guild. Closer to the water though, we didn't want to destroy the building after all, that already happened too often. It was true that Fairy Tail mages ought to destroy a lot but rather not our own stuff, thank you very much. Even Master Makarov was outside. I had to remind myself to talk to him after this. Everyone was so quiet. Erza was so grumpy but I didn't care. I had been blind for three weeks, even more but I was knock out for one whole week. "Don't look so grumpy. I'm the eldest." I whispered towards her because you see thanks to the seven years gab that she had because she was stuck on Tenrou Island thanks to Agnologia, I kept aging. So now I was six years older.
Natsu immediately started after that with a Fire Dragon's Roar. And I had to jump away, I actually had no idea what I was doing. I didn't have a plan or anything. I had to show everyone around different sorts of my attack, so that they knew that I wasn't a weakling. I was so focused on that, no one would understand. So I dove to the left side of Natsu and hoped I was lost in the storm, I could feel the heat but I couldn't care. As I would like to say to describe it: I was blind for it. I needed to win: "Earth Dragon's Sandstorm!" I said towards the left flank of Natsu. Which was a combination from a stamp on the ground and my Roar. But I missed him half. So it wasn't good enough. But I had a lot more up my sleeve. I had to get closer to give him a Rock Kick or a High Kick, which was even better. He of course attacked me with a Fire Dragon's Wing Attack, which I was able to block with my Earth Dragon's Rock Wall. I used Earth Dragon's Lava Stream to hurt him, forgetting that it was actually a combination between Earth and Fire so it barely had any effect. I shot a Metallic Ball at him but that one got lost in the attack of the Fire Dragon's Brilliant Flame. I had to think and Natsu was about to throw another attack at me, another Fire Dragon's Roar. However before I could block it or before it could even hit me, it was destroyed: by lightning. And yes I now remembered that guy.

Laxus had pushed his way through the crowd, he was a tall guy so he probably had seen us. "What the hell do you think you are doing?" He yelled more at Natsu than that he was looking at me. "Hello, I'm here. I hear you. Yes Laxus, I remember you and first. I am no longer blind. Second. I am not a child anymore, to be exact I'm one year older than you." I heard people chuckling and I even saw Master hiding his smile behind his hand. "And third, I was the one that challenged Natsu. So if you want to scream at somebody, you need me." I crossed my arms and lifted my eyebrow to see his reaction. "You just recovered. I heard it was today." Yeah that was probably the reason why he returned, we need to have a good talk anyway. "I was blind, not cripple. I am still me but now I have eyes again." And plenty of scars next to it, but Porlyusica was not able to change that fact. "However thanks for ruining the fun. I'm done with this battle now. I figured Natsu is stronger." I heard some people complain which made me happy. Although I didn't say it because of that. I walked away, pushed through the crowd back to Fairy Hills. I knew that before I reached that: Laxus would stop me.
