Ayva had said goodbye to her friends and set off with Sting, Yukino, and Rogue as they made their way back to the Sabertooth guild. Ayva was glad to see that her friends still regarded her as such, regardless of what happened the year before. She was truly lucky to have such a wonderful family among the Sabertooth wizards.

The journey wasn't too long, though it may have seemed that way to Rogue and Sting as they rode the train home, and Ayva walked with them to the guild hall.

The wizards of Sabertooth had received word of their return and wanted to surprise Ayva with a welcome back party, greeting her with open arms as she stepped into the hall.

Ayva was taken aback by the warm welcome, tears beginning to slip down her cheeks. She smiled and greeted each of her friends- her family- realizing that she was just happy to be home again.

Over the next several months, Ayva settled into her old room at the guild hall, took some jobs, and saved up enough money for the small house that was for sale in the forest just outside of town that she and Rogue had fallen in love with. She purchased the house and moved in with Rogue that week, thus beginning their lives together.

It wasn't too long after that Rogue proposed to Ayva, who accepted, and wed her with their friends from Fairy Tail and Sabertooth present.

After a year or two of marriage, Ayva and Rogue were blessed with twin girls- Ashlyne and Aurae. While they were identical twins, they were born with distinctively different features: Aurae looked just like her father with long jet black hair that was kept hair up in a bun while the rest hung down her back and crimson red eyes while Ashlyne was born with navy blue hair like her mother's that was kept braided down her back and was born with an emerald green eye and a crimson red eye. They both retained their mother's elven ears but their father's fair skin, and both were equally skilled in magik at a young age.

Much like other children of the next generation of wizards from Sabertooth, Fairy Tail, or any other guilds, Ashlyne and Aurae were determined to prove their strength and skill in order to build a name for themselves.

They became good friends with the children of Sorcha and Laxus Dreyar- Lili and Shota. They would often team up with them on jobs, furthering the bond between their guilds even more so than their parents.


To be continued with the next generation...
