Eclipse,

I wasn't sure how to write this letter but I have to apologize for everything that I have said or done to you. I admit that during the time I was abusing you I didn't care but now I wish I can take that back, but I know that I can't.

When I left after Sabertooth lost to Fairy Tail I went with your grandfather to look for another guild. While your grandfather was searching for another guild to take over I couldn't help but watch from a distance a mother embracing her child warmly. I just suddenly felt jealous but then again I had no reason to because I never let you or your sister hug me. I haven't forgotten how we first met when your father told you who I was. At the time I didn't know how to be a mother, I never did so when Nightess hugged me that was the first time that I have ever felt embraced but I didn't know how to show affection so I brushed her off, now it haunts me.

I wasn't sure what to do after that. I was honestly kind of anxious to know if either of you could use magic so when I saw you activate your I was impressed but I couldn't tell you that. Your grandfather had informed me that if one of you showed any signs of magic then he would spare you both, I was glad when he at least considered that. I'm sorry that I dragged you from the real home that made you smile.

I have a feeling that it would be too much to ask but will you allow me to try again and become a better mother?

After reading the letter Eclipse just looked at her mother who was looking at her. Sairento looked at Eclipse then at Minerva. He didn't mind the idea of him being there, it was the result of how Eclipse was going to be acting like.

Eclipse looked away then Minerva had looked away with a sad smile.

"Eclipse, let's go back to the manor."

"..."

Just then Sting and Lector came to them and Sting was smiling.

"Hey there Eclipse, ready to go home?"

Eclipse looked at him then at Minerva.

"What's going on?"

Minerva looked at her.

"Sting and Lector are coming with us."

Sairento placed a gentle hand on Eclipse's shoulder.

"I'll come too."

Eclipse nodded then all of them left to the train station. Sting didn't have to worry about motion sickness because he had requested for Minerva to knock him out and she did. Minerva looked at Eclipse who was looking out of the window then Sairento broke the silence.

"I'm sorry for the introduction delay, I'm Sairento."

"Nice to meet you."

Minerva was honestly a little creeped out to see that Sairento had razor sharp teeth but she wondered how they even met but she figured that would not be wise to ask in front of Eclipse. She wasn't sure how to start a talk without former things.

Just then Eclipse rubbed her head and Sairento looked at her.

"Headache or tired?"

"Tired."

She laid down, placing her head on his lap Sairento didn't mind one bit whether Minerva was watching or not then he placed a hand on Eclipse's back. It didn't take long for Eclipse to fall asleep then Minerva looked at Sairento

"Sairento, how did you two meet?"

Sairento looked away.

"We met on a quest and at the time I wasn't part of a guild but Eclipse told me that joining a guild isn't bad thing, it's who you're with that matters."

Minerva nodded then looked down at Sting who was still sleeping. She looked at Lector who had returned to them.

"Lady, have you told her?"

Minerva was scared and looked away. Sairento just looked at her in question.

"Told Eclipse what, if I may ask."

Lector smiled at him.

"Sting-kun and the Lady had a kid together and Eclipse is an older sister."

When Sairento heard that he groaned.

"I'm afraid of how she's going to respond about that."

Lector just looked at him.

"I bet she'll be happy. She's going to visit her home again, see her sister and all of her friends before she came to Sabertooth."

Minerva looked at the window sadly.

"Lector, to be honest Eclipse was never a member of Sabertooth."

"What do you mean?"

Minerva closed her eyes.

"I forced her out of the manor because she showed signs of magic that even I never seen before then I brought to Sabertooth. The former guild master, who was my father told me that Eclipse had to earn her way to become a member."

Lector looked at Eclipse.

"Wow, so she must really be nervous to see her old home right?"

Minerva looked at the sleeping Eclipse.

"I don't see why she wouldn't be."

Two hours later

After arriving to the land of Seven all five of them went to the manor that was still in the same land they all went inside.

When they got inside Minerva smiled at the place.

"Everything has stayed the same."

Eclipse just looked at the place with a blank expression. Just then Sting saw a family photo of a father and twin daughters, both sitting on his lap. Minerva looked at him and went to get the photo. Lector smiled at the photo and looked at Minerva.

"Lady, is that Eclipse?"

Minerva was looking at the photo with a blank expression.

"Yes. This was a photo before I brought Eclipse to the guild. The other girl is her twin older sister, Nightess and the man in this photo is their father, Darcrow."

Just then a maid came to them and they all looked at her.

"Lady...Minerva..?"

Minerva smiled softly at the maid.

"Long time no see."

The maid blinked as she stared.

"Milady..are you alright?"

"I'm fine. Where's Darcrow? Ming? And Nightess?"

Some more servants came but they didn't seem to happy, just like the first servant they either had a surprised expression or sad expression on their faces. Minerva seeing this looked at them not getting why they all looked depressed. Just then a baby cry came from out of no where and Minerva used her magic to bring Chaos out and held him. He stopped crying after that and Eclipse saw what just happened.

One of the servants that was working for the manor before Minerva had children looked at the baby.

"Milady, who is this?"

Minerva smiled at them.

"Everyone, this is Chaos. He's my son and this is Sting my husband."

When the servants, Sairento and Eclipse heard that they were all in shock. Minerva smiled at the servants as she asked again.

"So where's Ming-san, Darcrow and Nightess? I want to see them."

The maid that had seen her first looked down.

"You can't."

Sting just looked at her and Lector tilted his head.

"Are they busy or something?"

The male servant looked at Minerva.

"There were letters sent to you and Eclipse."

Minerva looked away.

"I never got the chance to read any of them."

The male servant shook his head and Minerva was starting to get curious about what was going on.

"Come on, where are they? I can't wait to introduce Chaos to both of his older sisters. I was trying to show them together."

The maid put her hand over her mouth as if she was was trying her best not to cry then the male servant looked at Minerva.

"Lady Minerva..."

"Yes?"

"Ming, Darcrow and Nightess have all passed away."

AN: There's Chapter 9! Sorry it took so long, I wasn't sure what to write for this chapter but I do hope that you liked it. See ya!
