EPILOGUE

After the return of Team Natsu, they discovered Freed had used a rune to save himself, Laxus and Freed, giving Alecks a singular spell to bring the illusion of his death. He could not however, save Sam, the male Card Mage dying that day.

After the harrowing events that befell Team Natsu that day; they recovered and moved on. Erza and Jellal got together, marrying a few years later and having two children; Arthur and Elise. Meanwhile Natsu and Lisanna got hitched, little baby Adeen was born the day before the wedding. Laxus and Mirajane were wed together, thereby making him and Natsu brothers-in-law, and the headstrong Raiden was born a year before Arthur, thereby making him the oldest, his little sister Julia following a year after Raiden was born. Little Levy and Gruff Gajeel ended up together, their union resulting in the birth of Maria, little brother Dante coming a few years later. Leon and Lucy wed and produced two children; the eldest Lance and the youngest Gwen. Card Mage Cana married her long-time drinking buddy Bacchus Groh, the two having a daughter named Millie. Evergreen and Elfman had one child, Sebastian, who is very popular with the ladies. Freed got hitched with Kagura Mikazuchi from Mermaid Heel, Bickslow getting with Millianna from the same guild, Freed and Kagura named their kid Hikari, while Bickslow and Millianna's child is called Mimi. Juvia finally married her precious Gray-sama, having a daughter and a son with him, the elder daughter Yuki and the younger son Mizu. Romeo and Wendy are married, but are yet to have a child.

Currently, Raiden is eighteen, meaning the rest are seventeen, sixteen or fifteen. While the next generation of Fairy Tail after themselves has not come into being yet, it will soon as couples begin to form among the children thanks to Julia's matchmaking skills, courtesy of her mother's genes. This generation is turning out to be quite powerful as Millie, rather than being a Card Mage or a Melee Mage, inherited her grandfather Gildarts' Crash Magic, though she isn't clumsy like her grandfather. Maria became the Iron Dragonslayer whilst Dante is a Solid Script Mage. Raiden is a Lightning Dragonslayer while his little sister is the Demon Take Over Mage like her mother. Arthur got his mothers Requip and her personality with Jellal's hair and looks, Elise is a clone of Erza physically, she's a dainty little princess, spoiled a little too much by her father. Yuki got her father's Ice-Make while Mizu is a Water Mage like mommy. Adeen became a Fire Dragonslayer like Natsu, much to Lisanna's happiness. Mimi uses her father's Seith Magic, Hikari being a Rune Mage with his own custom blade, Fairycalibur. Lance is a Requip Mage like his old man, Gwen getting her mom's Celestial Spirit Magic. Sebastian became a Fairy Mage like his mother, and is just as intolerant to is father's 'manly' behavior as his mother is.

Gildarts gave up his role as master, adopting an easier life as a mage once again, with the added bonus of being a grandparent on top. After Gildarts left the position as sixth master, Laxus took up the mantle as the seventh, Fairy Tail running on a regular pace as it should. As most of the previous generations of Fairy Tail ascend to S-Class, their children pick up the slack, Raiden becoming the second youngest mage of the new generation to become S-Class at age 16, the first being Arthur, beating his mother by becoming S-Class at age 14, starting a rivalry between the two, like their mothers before them. Lance and Maria, like their mothers, became fast friends, though Gajeel is thoroughly convinced he wants into Maria's pants. Yuki to Raiden is what Juvia was to Gray, a love-struck fool who doesn't know the meaning of personal space, but is still the sweetest and cutest gal ever, who is convinced, like her mother was with Lucy, that Millie wants to steal Rai-sama from her. Hikari and Mimi got progressively closer together, the green-haired hazel-eyed boy and the brown-haired dark red-eyed girl even sharing their first kiss at age 14. Sebastian, Raiden, Hikari and Mimi formed the team known as the Neo-Thunder Legion, with Raiden as their leader and Hikari as assistant leader. Adeen is like Natsu in appearance but Lisanna in personality, she's clearly fallen for Lance despite his liking for the black-haired brown-eyed dragonslayer Maria. Sebastian is like the new Loke, constantly flirting with girls and having them hound after him like lovesick puppies; he's like a fusion of the Trimens and Loke bundled up into a light brown-haired dark-eyed bundle of teenager. Hikari doesn't possess the Laxus-supporting persona, rather he is strong and independent, seeing Laxus as a comrade and less of a deity. Mimi is strong and serious but gets weak at the knees and becomes giddy like a schoolgirl around Hikari, finding the boy irresistible.

With the new generation of Fairy Tail around, the parents are constantly on guard for romance, heartbreak and violence, not wanting to see their precious children hurt, even Laxus showing concern for his children, as he cares deeply for his son and babies his daughter, despite her being fifteen. Freed treats his son very well, not spoiling him but him and his wife will spend a decent amount on Hikari, as he is their only child. Mimi is however spoiled often, but not enough to make her a haughty brat.

As the new generation begins to take center stage, the parents/the older generation cannot be happier with their work and lives up to this point. Unfortunately, a stroke of heartbreak befell the guild before returning to happiness, Macao Conbolt and Wakaba Mine both passed away on the 16th of July, X813, both aged 55. Life has been good since then, and Fairy Tail is as popular as ever, continuing to create legends now and hopefully into the future...
