Author's Note:

READ THIS:

This isn't another chapter, queue disappointed sigh, it's simply the regular Author's Note that is going to be between chapters. The only reason I didn't put one between the last two chapters was because the meaning of everything came across rather clearly, so I could fit the small Author's Note into the next chapter that was going to be released.

Now, some of you had observations from the last chapter that I will be addressing so everyone has a clear understanding of what I am going to do in later chapters.

Gildarts isn't going to make an appearance for a little bit, because lord have mercy if him and Natsu got into a fight now that Natsu can actually hold his own against most people. I think the two of them had a great bond in canon, mostly because it all fit into a surrogate family kind of setting with Lisanna.

If any of you have been wondering where Natsu's sword has gone because of my lack of use of it recently, it is still there. I am not continually bringing it up because Natsu usually has it stored away into his own pocket dimension unless he needs it for specific fights or because he just wants to. There is a part of me that hoped some of you would bring this fact up, but I guess I never made that big of a deal about it to show its importance. In case any of you were curious, it is a named blade, (I get a few ideas from One Piece, though I claim none of their work for my own), called "Doragon" which obviously is closely called "Dragon".

This sword will have some important standings in the future and it will get a story to it, but I'm putting the back-stories to the rest of the Elemental Dragons first. Cole is just there, his story will be rather simple, as I'm sure you can also tell Lycas's is tied to Makarov's past.

Also, yes I made the head of the council a little more fair, if not sadistic, in his standings on his decisions. Who doesn't enjoy a background character making decisions and giving ideas that basically affect your future and your life? The dude is an asshole, sure, but got to give him credit where it's due. Dude is really intelligent to be put at the head of the Council, and no, it isn't Crawford. Crawford is already retired in this timeline, though he will still play future roles, I'm simply not bringing him up at the moment. It'd ruin the fun if I told you who everyone was, right?

So shadowy unknown Ex-Chairman is here to stay until I put his name forward. *Cackle* Ah, I always enjoy tweaking some details to my own liking, but back to some of the observations by one of my loyal readers.

Erza didn't know what 'love' was back then, I should have corrected myself back in the chapter. It's just Jellal was the closest person she's ever had, bordering right on love, but yes, it was still a slight 'feeling' at the time. However, she –started- that rebellion for him, even if freedom was a bonus, it was mainly for Jellal, (I think anyways), so when she found out it was all just useless and so many died for her only to be betrayed, lose her friends, and anyone she cared about, it's traumatic. Of course she's somewhat 'close' to people in Fairy Tail, but she's always been rather distant I think, keeping up an invisible armor to protect herself emotionally.

As she grew older, this gave her time to reflect on everything that's happened and to be able to iron some things out for future reference in case anything came up for her. Natsu came along, and being the lovable and childish idiot he is, it's hard for anyone really to not like him. If it wasn't for Lucy being there, I honestly thought NaZa was the most likely canon couple, to hell (with love) with NaLi.

Anyways, enough ranting on that, Erza is a bit more bold in this story because I expect her to be. Erza should be a forward person, and though she was in canon, she kept 'her' feelings mostly to herself when it came to something that brought her feelings into it.

Also, I figured everyone would love Linzy, she is the TRUE mastermind behind the Guild. You could say she's the most powerful in there, having all the S-class mages in her pocket if anyone were to mess with her.

Alas…..I hope none of you get attached to Linzy.

Why?

Keep reading my future chapters, it may or may not be what you expect.
