BlackLynx17: SPECIAL THANKS TO ANIMEROCKER2008! IT'S THANKS TO HER THAT I INVENTED THIS STORY! Thank you. Now enjoy this story, I command you to!

"MASTER!" She screamed reaching for him.

"Everyone, thank you so much. Please take care of Wendy and Carla."

She touched nothing, wasn't able to touch anything since he didn't exist. She could only watch as her master and guild, the only family and home she had known the past five years, disappeared right in front of her. She couldn't feel her legs, couldn't feel her breathing or moving, living. Her legs gave out under her and she collapsed onto the ground.

"MASTER!" She cried out to the heavens, hoping he'd still be able to hear her.

Everyone she had known, it had all been a fake. All the memories, all the adventures, everything that's ever happened to her for the past five years wasn't real. She had lost her whole family just... just like that. The Rune Knights stood in the background a few feet away from her, watching with heavy hearts. Though they did not Cait Shelter personally, they had grown to know little Wendy and couldn't help to feel bad for her; all but one. Lahar walked up to Doranbolt, who still couldn't believe what was happening, and placed a hand on his shoulder waking him from his thoughts.

"Bring her when she calms down, we'll drop her off at the nearest town." He told him.

Doranbolt blinked and turned towards him, "Nearest town? And just abandon her? Do you have any idea what's she's going through right now?"

"Regardless of if I know or not it's not our problem. She has served her purpose, we shall reward her and be on our way. Be grateful that we're not just leaving her here like barbarians."

Doranbolt couldn't accept that though. Throughout their mission he had grown kind of fond over the little girl, protective even, and what his friend was telling him right now was pissing him off. He rolled his shoulder to get Lahar's hand off of him then walked over to Wendy. He paused a few steps away from her, not knowing how to approach a crying kid. He slowly walked the rest of the steps and stood behind her crumbled body, leaning down to place a hand on her shoulder.

"It is always sad to part with those whom you love, but your companions will help you bear that sadness." He told her softly.

She slowly turned around with tear stained eyes at him; he only smiled softly.

"Come with us to the Magic Council." Doranbolt said with confidence.

Wendy's eyes widened, but before she could answer Lahar stepped in the way.

"What are you talking about?" He asked his now stupid friend.

Doranbolt stood back up and shielded Wendy from him. "I'm asking the girl if she'd like to join the Council."

"Are you insane? She's just a child Doranbolt."

"No she's not, and besides she can take care of herself. I've seen it personally, she's saved my- all of our lives today. She'd be a great asset to us Lahar, you know she will. She's a Sky Dragon Slayer, that alone should be enough." Doranbolt tried to reason.

"You can't just let anyone join Doranbolt, they're tests and regulations and-"

"She'll be joining under me as my apprentice. I'll take full responsibility for her and her training. You won't have to worry about a thing and you won't be blamed for anything if she causes trouble."

Lahar knew his friend wasn't going to back down about this judging by the determined look in his eyes. He looked down at the little girl and her cat and glared at them lightly before turning around, his cape fluttering in the wind.

"Fine! She's your responsibility, I'll uphold you to that. Let's move out men!" Lahar barked at everyone.

Doranbolt sighed and wiped his forehead, now that was a close one. He was expecting more of a fight from him, more of an argument and maybe a small fight, but Doranbolt counted his blessings lucky that that wasn't the case. He turned back at Wendy and Carla with a smile and held out his hand.

"Well? What do you say? You don't have to join, we can take you to a safe village or town nearby, but I'd like for you to. Your magic could really help a lot of people all across the country."

Wendy stared up at the man, his smile hypnotizing. When she looked at him, she didn't feel as alone. Without a second thought in her mind she nodded her head and grabbed her hand, letting him help her back do her feet. His smile widened and he bent down to help Carla up next, who was just as confused as Wendy.

"Well you two, welcome to the Magic Council." Doranbolt congratulated.

Thinking back on the day, Wendy would only remember darkness. Darkness, before a hand appeared out of it and lifted her up. She'd remember that the hand was warm and reassuring.

I'm not going to write everything down, but here is how it goes. The four guilds never came, only Wendy. The Magic Council requested that Cait Shelter would provide a guide through the forest and that was Wendy. Lahar assigned her to Doranbolt, who came along this mission, along with a few no names and she stuck with him. Things happened, friendships were made, Jellal did come and help them, but was captured just like in the manga and then now we're at the part when Wendy's Master is telling her he's not real. Everybody get it? Good. This story will really get started in the next chapter of!

NIRVANA! WHAT IF!
