Chapter 44

Goodbye

The scene opens up showing Noah and Tai in the forest, Noah was fishing while Tai was looking for some berries, all of a sudden Drail flew down onto Tai's shoulder.

"Hm? Sup, Drail?" Tai said.

"Tai! What happened to our guild?" Drail asked.

Tai said a little. "White Eclipse took over, but don't worry. We'll get it back!" Tai said with a prideful smile.

After Noah and Tai were done fishing and looking for berries, they went to meet Mariah and Natsu in town.

Moments passed as they entered the town, Natsu could be seen sitting on a bench.

"Hey! Master!" Tai yelled.

Natsu looked up and waved, Tai and Noah walked over to him.

"Sup? Where's Mariah?" Tai asked.

"She hasn't showed up yet. Must of gotten caught up in something." Natsu said.

"Hopefully nothing bad." Noah said.

Natsu coughed a little as he stood up, he looked at Noah and Tai and nodded. "I'm counting on you two to get the guild back." Natsu scratched the back of his head and then smiled. "I know you both can do it, Marcus too. So here's a suggestion. You go train for two years, and come back when it's time." Natsu said.

Noah smirked at the idea, so did Tai.

Natsu nodded again.

"Make sure you tell us when you leave." Natsu said.

Hours passed by as you see Marcus, Noah, Tai, and Mariah standing in the middle of town, Noah, Tai, and Marcus were ready to leave.

"Aw.. I'm gonna miss you guys!" Mariah said with a tear slowly going down her cheek. Tristan walked up and smiled.

"It's sure gonna be a long two years without you all here." Tristan said.

"Yes. But we will be back. Don't worry!" Tai said.

They all exchanged hugs, when Noah and Mariah hugged, it was a long lasting hug. Longer than the others.

"Come back and get our guild back.." Mariah whispered.

"I will.." Noah said. They stopped hugging, Noah joined Tai and Marcus in front of Natsu.

"Listen you three. I'm counting on you. Don't screw up!" Natsu said.

"Heh. Don't worry about us." Tai said with a smirk.

"Yeah... We'll be back and get our guild." Marcus said.

Noah simply nodded.

Natsu nodded and hugged them all, Noah turned and faced the west, Tai turned to face the east, and Marcus turned and faced the north.

"Until we meet again." Noah said.

"Yeah.." Tai said.

"Good luck." Marcus said.

They all began to walk away as Mariah, Tristan and Natsu began to wave. The scene then turned dark.
