Stoneheart and the Woodhome
E1sky
Chapter 8
Dear Mom
So it was revealed just this morning. Master has announced the candidates for the S-Class Wizard Advancement Examination, the reason for all the bustling in getting missions. Everyone who aimed work hard but only 8 came qualified. I'm glad Natsu was one of them but I believe Cana has the more reason to become S-Class. You know I myself did everything to pleased papa back then. It's just different now . . .
As promised, we came back from our last mission safe and sound. There's so much about it mom, it's full of surprises. In fact the moment we arrive here in Magnolia, townspeople and fellow wizards immediately congratulated me for how I defeated two bandit golems with just my whip… The heck! I wonder who could spread erroneous information that fast. My legend's just gets crazier and crazier for every mission we accomplished. Sigh…
We started with just raw information about the golem. I've set out traps but the situation got more complicated with the intrusion of two bandit mages. They've come to take the golem's power but Natsu was able to defeat them all. So much credit for him that he was the first announced candidate this morning. Of course I, Wendy, Happy, and Charle played our part in it.
The mission progressed gradually and it led us to greater discoveries, the Woodhome! I remember when we we're reading Diona Blossomer and the Woodhome mom, and it's very real I've seen it in my own eyes! It's so beautiful you'll just love it when you see it.
As expected, Natsu overdid it again and almost burned down the Woodhome in the aftermath of defeating the enemies. Fortunately, Levy suddenly appeared out of nowhere and saved the day. Levy literally saved us, the Woodhome and its sole resident, a little girl named Sophia. Yes mom, we found a girl in the Woodhome! It was all a mystery to me till Levy explained herself to us.
Levy had taken up a request by a wealthy couple. Her mission was to retrieve their daughter Sophia who had gone missing after their mansion was allegedly attacked and burned down by a giant. Levy's search led her in to the Forewoods but somehow, even she, got lost in the middle of the vast forest. As she was trying to retrace her steps, the forest fire ignited and Levy set to do something about it. It was disaster to us but blessing to Levy as the fire brought her exactly to Sophia and to us as well.
With that, we have completed both of our missions. At the end, Levy discovered that the fire at the mansion was caused by a faulty wiring and the golem only came to save the crying Sophia trapped inside. She was eventually brought to the Woodhome to be bathed by its glow and heal the burns she incurred. And the reason why the golem seemingly attacked the Diona village is because is because he needs to get human things that Sophia needed. He doesn't know what exact things the girl needed so he picked up randomly.
In any way, as far as I'm concerned, all problems were answered and mysteries were solved, save why the golem helped Sophia in the first place, that I think couldn't be answered now that the golem was gone. But I'm really thankful he did help Sophia. Because of that, request has been send to us; I and Wendy finally got to pay our rents. Natsu had to pay for the houses he destroyed in the process of the battle. I'm right when I made a deal to stick up to the hundred thousand each split-up. Natsu always dwindle the reward, sometimes to nothing.
Now everyone's excited for the S-Class Wizard Advancement Exam that will begin tomorrow at Fairy Tail's sacred ground, Tenroujima island. And I'm coming with them, not as candidate but as Cana's partner. Yes mom! I'm somehow participant to the exam. Cana failed four times in a row already but I made a vow to make her S-class this time.
Don't worry mom, we'll be careful and I know we'll all do well. I'm getting stronger too and maybe someday be S-class too. You'll be very proud of me then right? I love you mom!
Your cute daughter,
Lucy Heartphilia
Lucy put down her pen and neatly folded the letter placing it in an envelope. She then stood up and stretched her arms pleasurably as she glances at the window. The sky is clear tonight. She takes a look at things around her room as she walks the short distance towards the switch, turning off the lights. If there was a sign, she should have seen. If there was a foreboding feeling, she should have known that things will not be the same when she came back.
