New chapter after a couple of months. Sorry about that. This story is definitely still on going as I have a lot of plans for this story.
Tell me what you think.

Mavis was bewildered; Tenrou Island held many memories, some bad, and some good; honestly Mavis didn't remember much. She moved forward in search for her old home; nostalgia rushed through her, everything looked and felt so real, but she knew it was all fake; however, one thing did bother her though; the island was too quiet, normally she could hear the sound of the animals or at least the rustling of trees against the wind, but there was nothing. Finally making her way to her home, a small smile graced her lips; without hesitation she pushed open the door and walked inside, everything was as she remembered it.

"So this was your old home" she heard Natsu say. "Cozy" Mavis wasn't sure if it was sincere or sarcasm, regardless she rolled her eyes. Moving in she walked to the bookshelves glancing at all the books, she nodded, all of the book titles were there. She stopped a little unsure with herself.

"What exactly am I supposed to be doing?" she asked.

"Confront your past. There must have been something that's been haunting you" he explained. Mavis raised her brow sighing. There was a sudden sound of footsteps causing Mavis to quickly turn to the source.

"Zeria?" she called out. There stood Mavis' old friend, the girl who died here on Tenrou Island years ago.

"Hello Mavis." she smiled slowly approaching her. Mavis remained frozen staring shocked at the girl.

"Why are you here?" she asked, Zeria tiled her head in confusion.

"What do you mean? I live here" she responded, Mavis blinked before realizing what was going on. This world was her memory, meaning that everything here was a fragment of her past. So in some sense Zeria was speaking the truth, this was her home. "I should be asking you why you are here."

"What do you mean?" Zeria rolled her eyes with a smile as if it were the most obvious thing.

"I mean why are you here, in your consciousness?" eyes widened Mavis was unsure how to answer she didn't expect for Zeria to be fully aware of where she was; unless...

"To find my inner peace" she answered. Zeria giggled walking away while beckoning Mavis to follow. While turning a corner Mavis suddenly lost sight of her friend, she glanced around confused that Zeria was nowhere to be found.

"Where is she?" she whispered.

"Keep your eye's pealed Mavis" Natsu said; Mavis raised a brow, now concerned by his words.

"What do you mean by that?" she heard Natsu chuckle, she didn't know why but it irritated her.

"That girl, she's the key" was his answer.

"The key?" she repeated. "You can't possibly mean that Zeria is what is clouding my past."

"Exactly what I am saying; I'm guessing that you can't let go of her memory" he paused. "Could you tell me what happened?" Mavis paused before looking out the window.

"This island was the battle zone of a guild war. Zeria and I were caught in the crossfire; I survived, she did not..." she whispered; she expected Natsu to make a comment but was surprised when he remained silent for the most part.

"War... it's always war with you human's..." he muttered; Mavis was unsure what he meant by that but decided not to ask.

"Anyways; what should my next move be Natsu?"

"Look for Zeria first; and from there we'll see what happens" he said. Mavis nodded. Searching all over the house the emptiness was nerve wrecking and it didn't help that Zeria was nowhere to be found. Stepping outside did not help, the silence was even thicker. However just as she was about to walk into the forest she heard a loud explosion in the distance. Head whipping to the source she saw a cloud of smoke; moving closer she now heard multiple sounds of metal clanging against each other. Mavis was shocked to see that a battle had developed; peaking around a tree she tried to look amongst the battle for Zeria and hoped that she was not there; but her fears were true, there in the center of the battlefield was her friend strolling casually, oddly enough nobody had taken notice of her; she was walking towards the Tenrou Tree. Mavis made chase, trying to catch up to Zeria; she was however halted as a ball of fire was hurled in front of her; she moved around it only to be stopped by two mages who were trying to kill each other, they stood in her path. Irritated Mavis advanced to the other side and luckily the way was clear; looking around she tried to locate Zeria once more, however as she was moving she tripped and fell, looking up she looked into the eyes of a dead man, horror graced her features as she backed away, she stood up and turned around eyes widening as she watched a sword plunge through the chest of another man, he dropped dead. Mavis ran towards the Tenrou Tree, not wanting anymore to do with the battle.

"This is not your first time experiencing death" Natsu said. Mavis out of breath gritted her teeth.

"That doesn't mean that I have gotten used to it" Natsu chuckled.

"I never said you needed to. I was merely stating the fact." Mavis breathed slowly before standing straight her attention to the towering tree. Continuing to advance she was in deep thought; she didn't know what she was going to do once she met up with Zeria; was she supposed to just talk to her? Or was there something more to it. She paused, there was a sudden tremble causing her to stumble on her feet. She glanced around, there it was again. She was attempting to find the source. Then there was loud roar. Mavis recognized it, stricken with fear she could not move; looking behind her she saw what she feared, an undead dragon glaring down at her.

"Well, this is unexpected" Natsu said, his voice was hateful. The dragon raised its claw before swiping down at Mavis.

Eyes shooting open Mavis fell from her sitting position gasping for air, she was back inside the cave; she found herself sweating furiously, she needed fresh air. Standing outside she was a little surprised by the destruction of trees.

"We had an unwanted visitor" Wendy said approaching her and handed her a cup of water, Mavis accepted it with thanks.

"Who was it?" she asked.

"Zeref, apparently he had some business with you" Mavis' eyes widened, she did not expect for the dark wizard to be here let alone to see her. Wendy sighed. "That man really needs to mind his own business."

"What did he want?" Mavis asked, Wendy looked to her causing her to jump a little at the girl's stern look, she then looked back at the sky shrugging.

"Who knows" Mavis stared at Wendy observing her expression.

"You don't really like Zeref do you" she stated causing Wendy to let out a short laugh.

"Nobody from our guild likes Zeref. In fact we hate him and everyone who stands by him" Mavis was left speechless, she understood disliking one person, but for them to actively hate everyone associated to Zeref, it sounded a little extreme to her. She wanted to pry more into the matter but was interrupted.

"Good evening Wendy" a pink haired girl said as she approached, Wendy smiled.

"Satori, sorry that you were summoned here at such short notice" the girl shook her head.

"No need to apologize, it sounded urgent" she turned to Mavis. "It is a pleasure to meet you Mavis Vermillion, my name is Komeiji Satori of Tartarus" as Mavis got a closer look she noticed a red third eye positioned by her heart with cords running to her head and her wrists, but then she realized she never told the girl her name. Satori smiled.

"My Master has spoken your name many times; he speaks very highly of you" Mavis couldn't help but blush, but honestly what was there to say, they have only ever met twice. "That's because Master is very good at judging someone's character" Mavis paused, did she just...

"Just read your mind?" Satori finished, she smiled mischievously. "I am demon that can read minds" Mavis was stunned.

"Don't scare her Satori" Natsu said as he exited the cave.

"Master" she acknowledged. Natsu raised a brow.

"Where is your sister?" he asked; suddenly a pair of arms wrapped around his neck and a grey haired girl appeared on his back, she was wearing a black hat with a yellow ribbon around it and very much like Satori had a third eye by her heart except it was bluish purple with the cords wrapped around her torso and attached to her ankles however her third eye was sealed shut for some reason.

"So that is where you were Koishi" Satori called out. Koishi grinned before hopping back onto the ground and circled around Mavis.

"You are the one that we are going to help right?" she asked happily. Mavis wasn't sure how to respond, this was the first she's heard of this, she turned to Natsu hoping he could answer, which he did.

"That's right, as I told you two before Mavis is in the process of controlling Ankherseram's Curse however she seems to have run into some difficulties. I myself am not able to interact with her within her consciousness, so to put it bluntly I will need you two to act as her body guards while she completes her tasks" Koishi was the first to raise her hand.

"In compensation I want a year's worth of cheesecakes" Natsu cocked a brow, he knew Koishi was a big eater; in fact it was quite common for her to just waltz into people's houses and eat their food without them noticing. Truly the ability to manipulate the subconscious was a terrifying power. Knowing fully that he would go bankrupt he agreed, he needed her help after all.

"Sure. Just don't go overboard with your appetite" he said. Satori sighed rubbing her temples, knowing her sister, Koishi was going to do just that, she needed to protect her Master's wallet in some form.

"Don't worry Master, I'll be sure to make sure to keep her in line" she turned her attention back to Mavis. "In the mean time shall we begin?"

"Y-Yes, of course" Mavis replied; they all moved back into the cave. Natsu sat in front of Mavis who was situated in the center with Satori and Koishi sitting on opposite sides of her. Wendy and Mard stood by the cave entrance keeping watch for any intruders while maintaining their attention to Mavis' condition as well; though with the Komeiji sisters here they didn't think they would be needed.

Mavis was back inside her old house on Tenrou Island.

"Yoo-Hoo!" Koishi's voice startled Mavis. The two sisters were gazing about their surroundings, with Satori carefully observing the room, while Koishi was carefully trying to listen to her own echo.

"May I ask you two a question?" Mavis suddenly said.

"Of course, we'll try our best to answer" Satori replied. Mavis swallowed, she knew they were here to help her, but their third eye couldn't help but unnerve her by the way they stared at her.

"What exactly are your abilities that allow you to enter my mind so easily" Satori smiled as if she expected the question, but then again she could read Mavis' mind so she knew exactly what she was going to ask.

"As you may know my ability is to read the mind and heart of any living creature, but it also allows me to delve into their minds; my little sister Koishi however will be doing most of the work in protecting you, as the name states she has the ability to manipulate the subconscious, so she's the one who can actively protect you" before Mavis could comment there was a tremor. Mavis' eyes turned to fear, the skeleton dragon was approaching once more.

"Big sister, there's a big dragon coming this way!" Koishi cried out happily; Satori approached the window a small smile gracing her lips.

"Interesting, I see why Master requested our help, this will prove to be challenging" she turned back to Mavis and placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder. "That dragon is a representation of your fear. If you wish to obtain peace with your past, you will need to overcome it"

"How?" Mavis asked, her eyes still glued to the approaching dragon. Satori continued to smile.

"That is for you to figure out".

Mard stood by Natsu carefully observing him; he was worried for his Master, when Natsu had left Mavis' mind he could tell that Natsu was distressed and nothing normally caused such emotion from him except for one thing; Dragon's. Natsu hated dragon's, that much is known by every member of their guild; in fact Mard would even go and say that his Master had full grown hatred for them. He looked over to Wendy and could tell that she noticed their Master's distress as well.

"Dragon's; who could have known that this girl had encountered one in her life" she whispered. Mard shook his head.

"Mard Geer does not think she encountered a living Dragon, either an illusion or a reanimation of one" Wendy raised a brow in question.

"What makes you say that?"

"Remember, Master had wiped out the entire Dragon race during the war" Wendy however didn't look convinced.

"That may be true, but who's to say that there may have been one or two who survived"

"Like Acnologia?" Mard asked, not really sure where she was going with this.

"Not him, I wouldn't consider him a proper Dragon anyways. The one I'm talking about is Igneel"

"The Fire Dragon King?" Mard repeated; Wendy nodded.

"I remember every Dragon that was killed on that day, and he was not amongst them"

"Then are you saying that the Dragon this girl saw was Igneel?" Wendy shook her head.

"No I'm just saying that it is very possible that this girl had encountered a real life Dragon; but who know's, you could be right; you know how Master is with Dragon's" Mard sighed.

"Indeed I do; after what they did to him? What they did to us? I can understand his hatred for them" Wendy looked down cast at the thought of their past, she looked to Natsu before looking back at Mard.

"If we were to ever encounter a Dragon, what do you suppose will happen?" she asked. Mard's eyes looked stern and answered as if it were the only possible answer.

"We will kill it" Wendy nodded in agreement, but that wasn't the answer she was looking for.

"No, I mean, what do you think Master will do?" Mard paused, he wasn't exactly sure how their Master would react; for both Wendy and himself, they will eliminate any threat that would ever pose to their Master and Guild. Natsu would no doubt do the same, but to a greater extent, they wouldn't be surprised if an entire country would go missing during his rampage. Mard sighed and shrugged.

"We must try our best to keep our Master's head cooled" Wendy had no doubts there.
