After the discovered day, they held a funeral, in name for being the cheeriest wizard that Fairy Tail has known. The now fully grown ice mage, 18 years old, stands in front of her grave as he gently placed more flowers onto the side. He gently touched the engravings that carved her name. After a while he sighed to himself as he stood up, starting to walk away from the grave sight. He continued walking, his hands stuffed in his pocket as he walked back to the guild. As he entered, he sat down at the bar, letting out another sigh.
"Hey, Gray. How was visiting her grave?"
Mira asked as she handed him a glass of water. Gray gladly took it and drank from it, setting the now empty cup to answer to her question.
"The same as usual..although I felt a bit..more broken this time.."
"And what makes you think that?"
she asked, now wiping down the counter.
"It felt like..her soul was haunting me a little..like she's making me image her death or something."
Mira looked at him before giving him a pat on the shoulder. She gave him one of her assuring smiles as she leaned forward to talk to him in a more quiet tone.
"I'm sure she's just telling you about how much she's missing you."
Gray nodded slightly until Natsu's voice was heard throughout the whole guild.
"THAT'S IT! WE'RE JOINING THE MAGIC GAMES TO SHOW WHO'S BOSS!"
he said out loud, catching everybody's attention. Everyone stared at him for a minute before cheering so loud, they got up from their seats to cheer and have another beer party. Gray only sighed and looked down at his new drink, seeing his slight reflection.
"Damnit Maekan…I wish you were here…"
he mumbled to himself as he held his cup tightly, ignoring the loud noises and crashes behind him.
The guild master stood by his window, staring out into the distance as he heard his doors open just a tiny bit.
"I heard that Fairy Tail is going to join the magic games this year..They are going to lose another place in the games this year.."
the master spoke as the person entered the room, standing behind him. The master looked back the person, keeping a straight face as he examined his 'child'.
"Will we win another year with you, leading us?"
he asked as he finally turned, facing the person. It looked up at his eyes, the slight daze in them. It nodded and undid their hood, revealing a slightly familiar face.
"Yes Uncle.."
"Good, that's very good. I thought this thorough, very well."
He walked over and placed his hand under her chin, tilting her head up as he stared down at her.
"Its a shame that Mark had to leave such a child like you..Maekan.."
he muttered as he let go of her, going back to face the window.
"You can go back..that's all for today.."
she gave a bow to him before walking out of his office. She looked down slightly, her hands into fists as she grit her teeth. She started walking back, the symbol of Raven Tail on her right shoulder blade showing.
"Fairy Tail will go down for sure.."
he muttered as he continued looking out his window, especially staring at the guild from a distance.
