'This is the power of the Flame Dragon King!' Heat flow's through every inch of my body, and then dies down, like the spark just went out. If I'm going to use this magic, I need to train myself to use it. I should probably get back to Magnolia for now, I have a harvest festival to report on. Looking into the sky, the golden particles of ethernano are flickering, like fireflies whose lights are flashing. Beautiful.

I tie my now long hair into its usual side ponytail, I fill my face with determination.

"Let's get this report done!" I look up to the sky once again. 'Thank you Igneel…' I leave the area, just to make sure that I won't cry.

It has been eight years since I was last at the Harvest festival in Magnolia, only two years for me. That was back when Laxus tried to take over the guild, and to say he was scary was an understatement, he was downright terrifying. Of course Laxus has changed, especially after the Tenroujima incident.

Magnolia is filled with strings of decorations, only adding to the festivities, many stalls line the small streets. The only thing missing is the FairyTail flare, the Fantasia parade.

Magnolia had Twilight Ogre host the harvest festival but it was never the same from what I've heard. I look down at my notepad, the notes I have taken prove to be worthy enough, one note that I have written down stops me though.

Disbanding of FairyTail.

It strikes a nerve, just those three words put me off. How I could I have written that down so easily, it just bothers me. I glance at my notepad again before flipping the pages closed.

Hey there everybody!

Magnolia once again celebrates the Harvest festival, an annual event to celebrate good harvest. What was once a grand event several years ago, the Fantasia parade, is gone again. With the disbanding of FairyTail, we at the Sorcerer Weekly have come to check up on Magnolia after FairyTail's surprising comeback.

During the time of FairyTail's absence, the guild Twilight Ogre had hosted the Harvest Festival but it was never the same according to some sources.

"I really miss the Fantasia parade, it was always something to look forward to, especially because of the ruckus FairyTail always caused." Says one woman.

"The Fantasia parade was a magnificent sight, always something different every year, but I say it was good to have some peace and quiet, after all that fighting they did in x784." Says another woman.

"FairyTail will always be a part of this town's heritage, they've been around since the liberation from Skull Head in X679, and the Fantasia parade only strengthened the bonds between the town and the guild."

As far as we can tell, Magnolia will surely miss the recklessness that is FairyTail, some still hold belief that they will return. They were a great guild and if they do return, Magnolia will welcome them back with open arms, just as they did last year.

"I'm impressed Lucy, you've really outdone yourself this time."

"Thanks Jason, I have a favour to ask actually." This got Jason's attention. I had arrived back this morning. He looked up from his desk.

"What might that be?"

"I need to go train, as in I need to leave Sorcerer Weekly to train my magic." He drops his pen and his eyes widen.

"Why? Is it new magic or do you just want to get stronger?" I channel energy and feel my hand warm up, I glance at my hand to see a small flame in my palm. I look up at Jason.

"I-Isn't that his magic?!"

"Let's just say that the report was not the only thing I accomplished in Magnolia." Jason still stares at my hand in disbelief. "I want to protect my family, more than ever, this is the opportunity for me to get my family back, and when I do I want to protect them at all costs." I stare Jason down, his eyes soften and he smiles.

"Lucy, if this is an opportunity for you than take it, Sorcerer Weekly won't stop you, and neither will I, train so you can protect them, and stay cool Lucy!"

"I sure will! Thank you Jason!" I rush out the door of the office and to my apartment here in Crocus. It's a bit cheaper than my apartment back in Magnolia, and bigger too.

I open the drawers, shove my favourite outfits in, necessities, I look at my research board. I had been looking for everyone. I pull everything off the board and fold it neatly into my bag. Sighing, I pull a drawer out from my desk, it holds my trusty fleuve de etoile. I smile and hook it onto my belt. Lastly, I pull my keys out of my pocket and put them back in their pouch, securing it onto my belt.

"Okay… I'm going to do my best!" This is going to be one hell of an adventure, I just wish Natsu were here with me to experience it.
