Hey, for the final time, fairy tail fans, and welcome to the final chapter of a fairy tail re-told! It's here after so long. It's finally here, the final chapter. Our heroes have overcome incredible odds and have managed to snag a victory over Alvarez, Zeref, and even the black Dragon Acnologia. It's the dawn of a new era, and our heroes will be the ones to lead it. The time has come for our heroes to rest and relax as they prepare for the future with hope and discover where their journeys will take them in the final chapter of a fairy tail re-told!
Now the final chapter begins.
Anna smiled as she leaned back, her fledglings all resting in medical beds covered in head-to-toe bandages though it was better than them being dead. She smiled as she thought about what she had learned from Lucy 'Mavis, you sneaky dog, you knew I was going to use my own life to save Natsu" She looked at Natsu, who was letting thunderous snores as Meredy reached over, placing a hand on his mouth removing it when he stopped as she rolled back over 'I promise I will watch over them she smiled as she heard the doors open.
"Hey, how long have you been here," Cana asked the other members of fairy tail Erza, Lucy, Gray, and Mira were also in the room.
"We haven't left the room," Lucy admitted, "we're just watching over them."
"there still out," Cana asked, "it's been weeks."
"yeah, well, that's what happens when they overtax their magic power like a group of idiots," Gray teased.
"say that again, and we'll smack ya," the four shouted, waking up suddenly.
"hey, your awake" Happy and Rossello cheered as the four passed out again.
"those punks woke up just to pick a fight with me," Gray shouted as everyone laughed.
"some things never change" Lucy smiled.
The final chapter: A Fairy tail.
'it is now the year X794, the dawn of a new era, and a lot has happened since the war ended with Alvarez, but let's start at the end; Natsu, Gajeel, Meredy, and Wendy all fully recovered. It was long, but they all said they would be okay, but their magic power would be drained for a while, thanks to something they called a third origin. What it was, they wouldn't say. Apparently, it was too dangerous to be brought up, and constant use can risk losing your magic power permanently. Thankfully, their magic power will return, but losing your magic power permanently is still a scary thought. We were invited back to the capital shortly after everything was done.'
"Is this necessary?" Natsu said.
"All we did was slay a dragon," Meredy said. "And are you sure this is okay?"
"very much so," Arcadios smiled. They entered the throne room, where the remaining members of the ten wizard saints greeted them.
"if it's not the war heroes," Hyberion smiled. "Anna raised you all well."
"yes," Toma smiled. "Once again, all of Earth land is in your depth, dragon slayers," he smiled as he looked at Meredy. "And as for you, young one," he smiled. "Hyperion."
"right," Hyberion smiled. "By order of the new magic council, we are granting a pardon on all your previous crimes," he said as Meredy looked in shock. "The slate is being wiped clean for you and Crime Sorcière friends."
"Nice going, Meredy," Wendy shouted as she hugged her.
"Are you serious?" Meredy asked. "I'm a free woman again."
"yes," Wolfhiem smiled. "Now it's time we present you to the guest."
"do we have to" All four groaned.
'thank the part they played in the war Crime Sorcière was pardoned on all crimes and allowed to reenter society, even the members that didn't make it like Jellal, Ultear, Macbeth, and Sawyer. But the best thing that came out was reuniting families."
"Richard, your alive," Wally cried. "I thought I'd never see you again."
"It's all right, little brother," Richard cried. "We're together again."
"hey, Natsu," Sorano asked. "Have you seen Yukino," she asked.
"One sec," Natsu smiled as he left, picking out Yukino from the crowd. "Hey Yukino," Himself. "Come with me a sec," he said.
"Is something wrong, Natsu," Yukino asked as he dragged her away.
"Gotta surprise for you."
"What surprise," Yukino stopped when she saw Sorano standing in her dress. She smiled at her.
"I'll leave you too" Natsu smiled as he left.
"Yukino," Sorano muttered. "I know that I" She was stopped when Yukino held her hand as she looked at her.
"I don't care what you have to say," Yukino said as fear reached Sorano's face. "I just want to know one thing," she said as tears appeared on her face. "can I have my hug now" she cried as Sorano tackled her in a hug, nearly squeezing the life out of her.
"I love you," Sorano managed through tears. "I promise nothing will tear us apart again."
"I'm going to hold you to that," Yukino cried as she hugged her sister back. "There were times when I thought I'd never see you again," she cried.
"It's okay," Sorano smiled. "It's okay, my little angel; you no longer have to worry about that."
"I'm glad Sorano was able to reunite with Yukino" Lucy smiled as they watched the pair.
"yeah, it is nice to see," Laxus said as he appeared, "but they're on more thing, I gotta know" he looked at Natsu, wrapping an arm around his shoulder. "What's death like," he asked.
"I," Natsu started, "don't remember."
"Really," Laxus asked
"I mean," Natsu looked away, "I remember feeling this warm sensation like," he looked away, "like I was somewhere that mattered to me with someone who," he stopped looking at the ground, "someone important, then I woke up."
"I understand," Laxus admitted, "just glad you got out okay."
'but I bet you are wondering what Magnolia has been up to, well, not much. Honestly, rebuilding took a while, like half a year, then once everything was settled, we...we put master Mavis to rest, we made a grave for her on Tenrou Island, and at the pub, a Statue was made in front of the building Natsu, Mira, and Elfman would spend a lot of time by the statue. I think they were grieving in their own way. But once we finished everything, fairy tail decided to disband; it was more a social reason than a no longer being friends, the world didn't need fairies anymore, but our bonds didn't change. We saw each other all time. Even though fairy tail is a part of our past, we occasionally go on jobs together when we're bored.
"another S-class job," Natsu asked.
"Nah," Erza said, "too much."
"SS-quest," Gajeel smiled
"Decade quest," Natsu smiled.
"Maybe," Erza whispered.
"Absolutely not," Lucy shouted.
"come on, Lucy, I need violence and action," Meredy shouted as she punched the air. "I may be a free woman, but I'm still me," she shouted.
"eh, why not something else like lifting a curse," Wendy said. "Look here, they want us to," she stopped reading over the job again. "Destroy the moon," she asked, confused as Natsu Gray, Lucy Erza, and Happy looked at each other before laughing. "What."
"Hey, tell me what's going on," Meredy shouted
"we want in on the joke," Rossello shouted
"you had to be there."
'as to what we've been up to when we haven't been getting into trouble, well, for starters, Laxus opened up rune knight training in Magnolia. Many of the former sprengeri joined him, like Laki and Levy, he and Cosmos are often seen working together, and of course, the Thunder legion is close behind. Levy and Laki even became captains of the custody enforcement unit.'
"so, what was going on here," Levy asked.
"another cult from the looks of it," Laki said. "Nothing we need to worry about."
'they weren't the only members who joined the rune knights; it was the most interesting part.'
"I need to arrest someone," Gajeel said, "so let's get this over with."
"you may look like Gajeel, but you can't act like the lovable jerk," Laki shouted.
"I am Gajeel," Gajeel screamed at her.
"no way," Laki said, "the Gajeel I know would never join the magic council," she shouted, "let alone become a captain in rune knights."
"the whole thing was Master Warrod's idea of a prank, but Levy's there to keep him in line. They also started living together as the months went by. I'm happy for Levy; she and Gajeel seem really happy together; oh, and Gajeel is not the only former fairy tail member who has shacked up.
"Hey, Juvia," Gray said. "I got us a house."
"Oh, then I'll be sure to stop by," Juvia smiled.
"no, I got us a house. You are going to be staying there, you know," Gray said as Juvia fainted. "Juvia," he screamed, "Juvia."
"Nice going, dork, you broke her," Meredy shouted.
"Juvia, wake up," Rossello shouted.
"Juvia is not here right now," Juvia muttered. "Leave a message after the beep."
' after multiple attempts, we successfully told Juvia she was moving in with Gray. I don't think I've laughed so hard in a while. It was an event, but then after everything we've been through, it's hard to believe that we got a happy ending, and speaking of happy endings, after she was pardoned for her crimes, Meredy started working at a school in Magnolia, it magic school run by Anna she pops in form time to time to give magic lesson would never have guessed the white terror of Grimoire heart was such a teacher.
"not too sure about this teaching thing Sensie," Meredy whispered. "I'm a fighter, not a babysitter."
"you'd be surprised how easy it is to become attached to children, my dear." Anna laughed
"that was different," Meredy whispered as she sat down, blushing, "but I'll give it a shot for now." she hugged her knees. "Not like I got anything better to do."
'Anna even got Porlyusica to start teaching there sometimes, and of course, she brought Wendy. Both are helping Anna get healing magic back into circulation. It is taking some time, but Wendy is getting into rounds. She's also written several magic books about healing magic. The last time I saw her, she was asleep at the table with coffee. I assume Natsu gave it to her.'
"why is this so hard" Wendy groaned. "I need coffee."
"I think you've had enough," Carla laughed.
"I'll decide when I've had enough," she shouted.
"How's your book," Carla asked, ignoring her outburst.
"Almost done," Wendy said. "Sensei was like I was using too many big words, and the students wouldn't get to fast."
"you want them to learn, don't you," Carla asked.
"I guess," Wendy groaned.
'Of course, Happy, Lily, Carla, and Rossello are often seen with their dragon slayer friends, but they have been going off on their own a lot lately. Lily calls them the exceed squad. Mostly they do jobs for new extalia and Queen Shagotte.
"Hi Mom, hi Dad," Happy called
"hi dear," Marl called
"don't call me dad," Lucky shouted. "And you are getting skinny. You need to eat and do more yard work," he shouted. As Happy nodded,
"Love you too," Happy shouted as Lucky turned away, a smile on his face as he muttered to himself how proud he was
"oh Carla, you came to visit" Shagotte smiled as she brought her in for a hug as Carla tried to maintain an indifferent facade. "How are you doing, child? Are you eating well" She smiled at her.
"I don't see why that's you concerned," Cara whispered as Shagotte smiled
"She's eating," Lily smiled as he placed a box down. "You can catch up later. We have a job to do."
"she knows that's her mom, right," Rossello asked.
"Probably," Happy told her. "I mean, we've found all the exceed that were sent here, and she's the only one who hasn't met her parents. You think she'd put two and two together."
'and now for the big three, Natsu, Mira, and Erza, after everything, they decided to retire the children of magnolia; of course, there did because there was no longer a reason for them to exist. That said, their word was still law among wizards in Magnolia, and hey, they've earned it. According to Laxus, they're in talks of becoming wizard saints Hyberion, Jura, and Warrod are pretty persistent about the idea. And from what I was able to gather, Riana has the paperwork ready, so I wouldn't be surprised if they were made wizard saints in the next few months.
"That's not going to happen," Natsu growled.
"it probably won't be so bad," Mira muttered.
"We did beat the wizard king," Erza said.
"barley," Natsu told her.
"we'll still have our normal freedoms, too," Mira said. "I'm more surprised they're giving us an option for .this."
"Well, we are still recovering from a war," Natsu said. "are you sure we can handle something like that? I kinda like not having responsibilities."
"that's cause you barely do anything," Erza told him. "besides didn't Master Makarov want you to become one day."
"yeah," Natsu said, "I don't know."
"Well, whether we do or don't," Mira said, "we make this choice together."
"right
When not together, Mira is often found at the fairy pub along with Miko and Kinana serving drinks handing out jobs, and the like when needed. Magnolia is a wizarding hub now, and Mira's taken on most of Mavis's old responsibilities.
"I do hope you're not pushing yourself too hard," Miko asked as she sat a glass down.
"I'm fine," Mira smiled, "but thank you for the concern; I know everything has been crazy this past year."
"oh, Mira, it's no trouble," Miko smiled. "After everything you've done for us, it's no small feet."
"These wizards can't be the easiest to work with."
"that is putting it lightly," Kinana smiled.
"Oh, and what's this? I hear about you getting a boyfriend." Mira teased. "Erik wasn't even back for a week yet, and you jumped on it, didn't you," she said as Kinana's face turned red.
"Mira" Kinana shouted as Mira laughed.
Erza spends most of her free time with Mermaid Heel talking with Kagura and Millinana. Kagura likes to act tough, but its easy to see she enjoys it when Erza comes to visit. I'm just glad she's finally able to move on after everything.
"you missed me," Erza smiled as Kagura looked away. "Oh, come on, say it loud, and you'll blush no more," Erza smiled.
"I missed you," Kagura screamed, "wow, that was embarrassing."
"What, the shout or the running and leaping into her arms before it," Riana asked as she appeared next to her adoptive daughter. "You were even on the beach," she gushed as Kagura looked away.
"never again"
As for Natsu, well, he's just as busy as Mira, but there are times when I catch him thinking about when he was E.N.D he tells us he doesn't remember much about what happened during that time. The Furthest back he can remember is his conversation with Anna after they ran away from Zeref.
"A dream," Natsu whispered as he looked over his drink. "Somewhere happy," he said again, "a large field maybe."
"Come on, man, your still thinking about that," Cana asked as she wrapped an arm around him.
"It's just so confusing," Natsu said. "I feel happy, but I want to know why, not to mention what I did as E.N.D."
"hey, no one blames you for what happened" Cana smiled
"yeah," Lucy smiled at her best friend, "we're just glad you came back."
Natsu doesn't have the power of E.N.D anymore because Zeref is dead, but I have to wonder what he saw. I mean, it's not every day you have a near-death experience, especially as close as he did, but I'm not worried. Mira says he's just going through the motions and being Natsu about it, and Anna said that maybe it was something that he already knew.
"so this is where you've been hiding," Erza asked as she, Lucy, Gray, Wendy, and Carla went to the small hut he was sitting next to
"oh hey, guys," Natsu smiled as he sat up.
"what are you doing, man," Gray asked. Natsu said nothing patting the ground next to him as they all sat down next to him.
"wow, that's a beautiful view" Wendy smiled
"yeah," Lucy said
"Aye," Happy smiled, "it has been a while since Natsu, and I have come here to enjoy it."
"yeah," Natsu smiled. "Lisanna, Happy, and I would come up here. We loved the sunsets. It made us feel so small, like we did;t have a care in the world," he said, looking in the distance. "There were times she and I talked of building a house out here," Natsu explained, "I don't know why, but I've been thinking of this place again."
"well, it's a lovely view, Natsu," Erza said as she lay on his shoulder. "I can see why you and Lisanna loved it so much."
"yeah," Natsu said, "maybe," he stopped, "maybe she looked out for me one more time," he said as he laid his head on top of hers. "I'm just glad I can enjoy this view with my family again," he said as they said nothing to each other. Simply enjoying the view.
'and, of course, there's yours truly. Well, Michelle and I convinced Katja to start traveling first place we went to was Alvarez. Surprisingly, after Brandish demanded we come there, according to her, to apologize to Katja for what she did when the war started, it was nice to go there and not almost be killed by Ajeel. Still, it was nice to know Brandish was doing all right. She promised to visit more often and said that the next big trip we take, call her, and she can come too. I think Katja liked it; it makes her feel safer, though she wants Wendy to go with us,
"I want to see the world," Katja admitted. "I want to see the mountains and the trees" She smiled as she turned to her older cousins.
"Well, there is a lot to see out there." Brandish smiled
"Yeah," Lucy smiled as she wrapped her in a hug. "I can promise you that I can show it; we don't have anything to be afraid of," she smiled at her cousin, "and if something does happen, I'll be there."
"Hey, don't forget about me," Michelle laughed.
'but other than that, we're out there living our own lives, we're together, just living life, so you don't need to worry about me, Mom and Dad; the scars from the last battle won't go away anytime soon, but we'll be fine, and Mavis thank you for everything you brought us all together and this past year has been challenging. But we made it so you don't... need to worry. You can rest now, Mavis. You don't need to watch over us anymore. We'll never forget your teachings or the impact you had on all our lives' Tears fell on the page Lucy was writing as she scratched out more. 'We're going to be okay; I know that we have Natsu, Mira, and Erza watching. Over us, and if evil comes knocking, fairy tail will come together. You just rest.'
'you earned it, master.'
[## fairy tail op Snow fairy##]
"It's my pleasure to announce the winner of this year's Kamu Zaleon award to Lucy Heartfilia for her amazing true story, A fairy tail" The crowd cheered as Lucy blushed as she held the award up for all to see
"This book is wonderful."
"I had no idea the legendary fairy tail did so much."
"There's no way all this can be true."
"yeah, I doubt Lucy's really friends with the Queen of Fiore."
"Lucy, sorry I'm late," Hisui called as she arrived, smiling at her friend.
"Hisui," Lucy smiled as everyone stared in shock. "Come on; the guys are waiting."
"hell yeah, good chow," Natsu and Wendy shouted as they wolfed down the food.
"Remember to chew," Anna laughed.
"This is good, Iron," Gajeel smiled.
"I don't think that's even Iron," Lily shouted.
"Gray put on some clothes. The Queen of Fiore is here," Erza shouted.
"ah shit, not again," Gray shouted as Juvia looked away.
'After everything was said and done, Toma let Hisui ascend to the throne, which she started improving relationships with our sister country.'
"And to think you were worried no one would like it," Michelle teased
"Oh, hush up," Lucy sighed. "Getting a book published is not as stress-free as it sounds."
"Oh, you say that about everything," Michelle told her. "Even Anna agreed with me," she laughed.
"you did seem overly nervous," Katja laughed
"not you, too," Lucy sighed
"Congratulations Lucy" Anna called as she smiled at her descendant. "In time, you will find many more successes":
"Okay, Sensei," Meredy said. "We gotta have an intervention about all these time puns you keep making."
'Anna is still in our Era and has taken Mavis' place as our group parent, meaning she is the most responsible in the room. Yes, that includes me.
"Oh, I got you something," Anna smiled as she pulled something out of her pocket, handing it the Lucy as she looked over it. "It wasn't meant to be a present, but the timing couldn't be any more perfect."
"what is it" Lucy whispered as she took off the cloth, a golden key in her hands as tears appeared in her eyes. "This is," she whispered. "you fixed Aquarius key," she whispered.
"not quite," Anna told her."the key is forever broken, but in my time, I had attempted to forge a key to allow me to open the gates" She smiled. "The keys you gained were the ones created by the celestial spirit king after we reached an agreement. However, he let me keep the key I formed for Aquarius," she smiled. "I'm no longer a celestial wizard, so I think it will do better in your hands" She stopped when Lucy hugged her.
"thank you," Lucy smiled.
"for you, dear," Anna smiled. "Anything."
"Gajeel," Levy shouted as she ran up to him, whispering something in his ear.
"wait, did I hear baby," Lucy shouted.
"What? It's the miracle of life," Natsu asked her.
"It's disgusting," Meredy shouted.
"Never said it was clean," Natsu said.
"I thought I would see your other friend Yukino. Was it here," Anna asked.
"Yeah, she's still caring for Sting," Lucy laughed. "Sabertooth had its tiger eating contest again, and of course, Minerva took home the gold."
"I see," Anna said, shocked. "To think someone could outeat a dragon slayer," she whispered. "It's kind of scary."
'The guild system has completely changed in the past year. Most guilds have started to go independent; the designated territories are becoming a thing of the past; the guild master even has an association now with Sting, Riana, Master Bob, and Ooba. Honestly, it makes me wish we were one, but then again, we enjoy being solo wizards.
Though, I hear major changes are going on in Lamia Scale. From what I gather, Lyon is next in line to become guild master when master Ooba retirees though according to Sherry, the old hag is a bit of a stubborn goose and wants to make sure Lyon can spin the completion as she puts it. That and he and Sherry lost Yuka and Toby. They encountered Laracde, and his pleasure magic had got the best of them. I guess deep down, the old hag doesn't want too much on their plate right now, allowing them to grieve their friends.
"Hey, Lucy," Sherry cheered as she ran to her friend. "Why do you always look spaced out."
"Congratulations on your book," Lyon smiled
"What's this? I hear about you becoming guild master," Gray laughed
"Unlike you solo wizards, we guild wizards have duties and responsibilities," Lyon shouted back,
"Yeah, keep telling yourself that," Gray laughed
Blue Pegasus also took a major hit with the loss of Ichiya. If it wasn't for him, the dragonslayers might not have been able to face Acnologia as well as they did, even though the real reason was to buy us time. It gave them the push they needed to end the fight. Hibiki has since taken on the mantle of Ace of Blue Pegasus, though much hasn't changed around the guild.
"Are you guys ready to get this show on the road" Hibiki shouted
"ready, Captain Hibiki" Eve and Ren shouted
"you my favorite captain," Jenny teased
"they're all still a bunch of (lovable)dorks."
"such a lightweight," Cana smiled as a group of people started to fall over after foolishly challenging her to a drink of "Come on; this is a party."
"calm down, Cana," Gildarts said.
"come on, Dad," Cana smiled before turning back to Lucy, "Hey, what's the deal with Natsu and Erza," she said as she turned to them. Erza was trying to read the book Lucy wrote.
"you need help," Natsu asked, pressing his cheek against hers as Erza looked away.
"I got it," Erza shouted. "stupid big words," she muttered. "I don't sound like that."
"you do," Natsu told her, "I think it's cute."
"what do you mean cute" Erza shouted, her face turning red
"I don't know," Lucy whispered as they both looked at Mira, who had that proud big sister look on her face.
"she knows something," Lucy and Cana said as Natsu and Erza started to bicker.
"Okay, we agreed. None of this in front of me," Wendy shouted.
"Aye," Happy said. "Let me focus on my fish."
"my baby is growing up," Anna cried.
"Sensei," Wendy shouted, "don't encourage that" Natsu and Erza realized what was going on before backing away from each other. Erza grabbed Natsu's sleeve looking away as she dragged him somewhere. With fewer people
"Everything alright, Erza" Natsu asked, "Look if this is about the book."
"no," Erza whispered. "It's just," she looked away, embarrassed. "I umm," she smiled, "about what we talked about before the war started." she pushed her fingers together, trying to find the right words. "I was trying to say I."
"yeah," Natsu smiled. "I know what you were going to say, Erza," he said as Erza looked away, "and I, you know."
"yeah," Erza smiled before embracing him in a hug. "I know."
"yeah, Lucy's, the man," Elfman shouted.
"Please stop," Evergreen said.
"hey, Lucy," Laxus smiled. "Congrats,"
"sorry we're late; Erik took forever to get ready."
"Hey, I'm used to these formal shindigs," Erick shouted before he said as Mira tapped the side of a glass, smiling. As she got everyone's attention, they started gathering around.
"I would like to give a toast," Mira smiled, "before all of us get black-out drunk again and destroy half the town" Seh smiled. "Don't worry, your majesty, you'll be fine," she said as Hisui laughed. "When I met Lucy seventeen years ago, she was this starry-eyed young celestial wizard," she smiled. "As you all know, our first interaction was me shouting at my little brother for destroying half a pot."
"Allegedly," Natsu shouted.
"it was you," Mira said, "but over the years, I saw her grow into the strong, confident, and powerful person she is today. The book, in my opinion, hardly gives herself justice on how far she's come, Lucy," she smiled as she looked at her, "you told not just your story but our story, and you know what, I couldn't have said it better myself, I love you your part of this family, and I hope that we're all together till the end of time" Mira finished as the crowd cheered.
"Thanks, Mira," Lucy smiled.
"no, thank you," Mira smiled. "At the end, you said Mavis doesn't need to watch over us anymore," she smiled "your right; it's time we let her rest. As much as it hurts me, she's earned it."
"yeah," Natsu smiled, "she would want us to be happy" Natsu smiled.
"no matter what, even if you no longer need me, I will always be watching over you, my children," every member of fairy tail looked up, looking through the crowd as they saw Mavis standing in the crowd staring at them as a smile on her face as the crowd passed around her as she vanished.
"mom" Natsu Mira, and Elfman muttered.
"was that," Erza asked.
"Mavis," Lucy asked.
"if she was here," Anna said as she walked to the group, "she would say that a parent's job is never finished; you are all her children, and she will live on forever in your heart," she said. The group smiled.
"but Juvia thinks we've had enough to drink for tonight" She smiled as they all laughed.
[##momentary peace ost or nostalgia of the landscape ost##]
Deep in the woods in Magnolia lies the house of Natsu, Mira, Elfmam, and Wendy. Suitcases littered the floor as the four got ready for a trip. It had been a week since Lucy got her award, and the group had decided to travel together again. "You guys got everything," Mira asked, "toothbrushes."
"check," Wendy smiled as she landed on the ground, "Picture."
"check," Mira smiled as she held a photo of them and Mavis. Putting it into her bag, she let out a sigh. The house was mostly quiet now that it was the four of them again. It had been a month after Lucy's award for her book, and now there was only one thing left for them to do. "Be sure you guys get everything. We don't want to leave anything behind."
"hey, Mira have you seen my pendant," Natsu asked.
"this old thing," Elfman asked as he held up the small necklace Natsu took from him. "What is it," he asked. Natsu smiled as he opened it, showing a picture of him and Zeref. "Oh, crap, is that you and, Zeref."
"oh my god, you're both so adorable," Mira muttered, "and I have no idea how to feel about it."
"yeah," Natsu smiled. "Sensei gave it to me" he smiled as he put it on. "She said he would want me to have it." he smiled. "Despite all the wrong he's done, I can't bring myself to hate him, ya know," Natsu said
"yeah," Mira smiled, "we know."
"so much has changed," Elfman smiled as he grabbed his bag. "Way back when Mavis found us, you think she knew what would happen."
"it wouldn't be surprising," Natsu laughed. "By the way, is Evergreen okay with our little trip."
"of course she is. She's a real woman."
"he's totally going to get a ring," Wendy whispered in Natsu's ear.
"shut up," Elfman shouted
"Come on," Mira smiled. "The others are waiting."
"Aye," Happy shouted
"Hey, were you waiting long," Natsu asked as he grabbed Erza's hand.
"No, too long," Lucy smiled. "So where to first, gang."
"Wendy," Katja smiled as she ran to hug the girl. "You ready."
"you bet, kid," Wendy smiled, "but where are we going."
"no idea," Natsu smiled.
"Juvia wants to go somewhere new," Juvia said,
"that could be anywhere," Gray said. "Are we heading outside of Fiore"?
"Probably," Natsu smiled.
"somewhere new does sound nice," Erza smiled.
"the world is now our canvas," Anna smiled as she approached them, "You all said Mavis wanted you to see the world, so as a thank for all she's done, I will show it to you" She smiled d. "But is everyone ready, Erza? Do you need all that?"
"it has all my stuff," Erza said.
"I'll take that as a yes," Meredy laughed.
"never change" Lucy smiled as she looked at the pink symbol on her hand, a replica of the Mavis mark they created using a guild stamp. It was their way to memorize her and bring her with them where ever they went.
"come on," Gajeel smiled as Levy stood beside him, "as long as we got each other, who cares where we go."
"Aye," Happy shouted. "The adventure awaits us," Happy shouted.
"Race, you guys," Carla laughed as she flew off.
"Hey, no fair, Carla," Rossello shouted. "You know I can't fly as good as you can," Rossello shouted.
Natsu smiled as he watched his friends go ahead as Lucy and Happy stopped beside him. "You okay, Natsu" Happy asked. "You got that long distant look Lucy normally has? Is it contagious" Happy shouted?
"shut it, furball," Lucy shouted.
"Nah," Natsu smiled, "just glad I've come so far" he smiled. "Come on, Lucy," he smiled as the three ran off to catch up with their friends. They waved to them as they caught up, preparing for their next adventure. They didn't know Where they were going, but they had each other, and that was all that mattered in the end.
"you kids never told me where that symbol you have came from," Anna asked
"Oh, this" Natsu looked at his shoulder. "Mavis gave it to us as a way to watch out for us on jobs when we first started going on them, but as she started to give it out more," Natsu looked around at the people he called family, "it started to change."
"it became more than her gift," Mira smiled. "It was more than a simple guild mark that she used to wear proudly; once we all came together, it became the symbol of our bond, the symbol of our power when we stand together, but above all. it became"
"A symbol of a family"
Do fairies have tails? Do they even exist? It is an eternal mystery and, thus, an endless adventure; our heroes have finally created peace in Ishgar and now go on their journey to enjoy the peace they have made. For all the friends they lost, from all the things they gained, they became something more substantial than any guild or any magic the world could ever find. They became a family,' a woman smiled as she closed the book, her hand running over the mark of Mavis. As she looked up, she looked like an older Mavis not affected by the curse of contradiction.
'tell us another story about fairy tail mom," a group of kids asked, each looking like the younger version of Natsu, Mira, Elfman, Lisanna, Lucy, Erza, Gray, Gajeel, Meredy Wendy, and Juvia.
The woman smiled gently. "Perhaps another time, but it's time to head to bed now." She ushered the children into their room, a soft glow emanating from her window as she bid them goodnight with a warm smile.
The End
We're here; the end is here; ring that gates for a fairy tail re-told have been completed six years after its first chapter. It has been a journey. And I want to confirm that I won't be doing the one-hundred-year quest arc as there are many changes that I've done that don't align with what that's story is. As for what comes next, stay tuned to find out but tell me now that it's all said and done; what was your favorite moment from the series? Let me know in the comments; thank you for coming on this journey with me. It was a ride, and I hope you enjoyed this story for all its worth. I'll see you next time.
As we continue the eternal adventure
