Fiore

X794

Magnolia

The sun shines and the birds flied in the sky

The city of Magnolia was back to normal after the war as Ishgal and Alvarez have come to peaceful terms with each other as peace have come to the two nation

Magnolia's Western Forest

A pack of wolfs were sleeping on the grass as the sun shines upon the land making it warm and the chilly breeze makes it cool at the same time

Two people were working in a garden as they were harvesting the fruits and vegetables that were ripe and juicy

"this is hard work" it was Gray and he was wearing a farmer's outfit as he was picking apples after apples from the trees before putting them in a basket

"don't whine, Lyon made better progress than you ever did" the other person was Meredy and she had an infant strapped to her back while she carries a basket filled with grapes

"heh, that guy just wants to make sure that he doesn't get to sleep on the couch when he gets back home" Gray said as he had no clothes on other than his boxers

"well, he made more jewels than you ever will" Meredy said as she walks back to her home where she passes by the sleeping wolfs

2 years passed and everything changed for the family; Meredy got married to Lyon, both had a son, Gray married Juvia, both had a girl and a boy and the man started working and helping in the Dragist's garden, overall everything had changed since the passing two years

"man it's hot today" Gray said as he carried up the basket of apples and took them to the house

He walks pass a grave as it had writings on it

Natsu Dragist

Member of Fairy Tail, loving Husband, loving Father, loving Friend

X777-X792

In Natsu's passing, he left his family as Zeref's death also meant his own.

He sacrificed his own life to protect his friends and family as he did it for them

In the home, Meredy and Gray entered the home where Ur was sitting on a chair with a walking stick beside her

"good work, you two" Ur said as she was reading the Weekly Sorcerer's Magazine

"today's harvest was pretty good" Meredy said before she heard the child on her back started crying "oh, yosh yosh, be a good boy"

Meredy started to unstrap the child from her back before she carried the child upstairs for the baby's diaper change

"man, I feel like an old man" Gray said as he patted his back

"working hard makes the bone cry" Ur said while laughing a bit

"says the old lady who just sits all day" Gray said before he gets a flying kick to the face by Ur

"this old lady happens to be your master, dumb student!" Ur exclaimed

Meredy was in the bathroom upstairs as she changed her child's diaper before hearing the racket bellow

"there they go again" Meredy said with a smile as she carried up her child and walked out of the bathroom and headed down

As she heads downstairs, she passes by a picture frame, in the picture was her family back in the day when Natsu was still with them, the strange thing though, the scar on Natsu's eye was gone in the picture as if it disappeared

"give up?" Ur asked Gray as she had him in a leg lock and was pulling on his legs backwards

"GAAAhh! I give! I give!" Gray slapped his hand to the floor for surrender as his legs were in so much pain

The squabble bellow quickly goes away while our attention is to the second floor in a certain room

Ultear sat in her bedroom as she sits in front of the window and looks out to the scenery in the skies

A flock of birds flew in the sky as they were in the middle of migrating to the west

A purple butterfly flies into the room as it landed on Ultear's shoulder

Ultear smiled to the butterfly before it flew away back into the forest as it flies around with a pink butterfly

She smiled softly to the butterflies as they fly into the sky

After the passing of her husband, she had retired from being a mage and stayed with her family as the day goes by for her to remember all the best times, she had with her husband

A glowing pink flower sparkled in her room as it gives a gentle glow sparkle

Ultear looks to the sky as she sees the clouds floating in the sky as the sun shines

A tear slides down her cheeks as she wipes it away

She started humming as she was singing the lullaby, she would always sing for Aya when she was just a baby

Downstairs, Ur and Gray were in a wrestling match as Ur got Gray in a headlock

"who's the grandma now?!" Ur exclaimed as she pulls on Gray's ears as they stretched

"owowowowow!" Gray shouted out in pain as he got the beating of his life from his teacher

"every single day" Meredy said with a sigh as she carried her child in her arms

knock knock!

Knocking was heard as the front door was opened and Lyon came walking in

"I'm home" Lyon said as he walks into the living room where he sees Ur beating the crap out of Gray "as usual, they're at it again"

"welcome home" Meredy said as she gives a kiss to Lyon before passing their kid to him

"I'm home" Lyon said as he patted his son's back

"help me!" Gray shouted out as Ur was pulling his legs back that we could hear bone cracking

"looks like you're a bit stiff! Let me loosen you up!" Ur said with a grin

"hey, we still have tonight's plan, Gray needs his legs for tonight" Meredy said as Ur lets go of Gray

"call me an old hag again and I'll give you a flashback on my ice training 101" Ur said as she clapped her hands in satisfaction

"my legs…hurts so much" Gray said as he could barely stand up because of the strain of getting them pulled back so hard

Before long the door to the front door was slammed open

"I'M HOME!" Aya, a full pledge mage of Fairy Tail enters in as she was covered in dirt and bruises entered into the house with a dirty North following behind

"Aya, I told you to clean yourself up before going into the house" Meredy said as she sees how dirty her little sister was

"sorry sorry, just got a big bonus on the reward money" Aya said as she takes out a bag sack filled with jewels "just had to help them in some stuff"

"I still wonder if she really is Ultear's daughter seeing how she is the complete opposite of her mother" Lyon said as he takes Aya bag which was dirtied

"hey! At least I kept Dad's scarf clean!" Aya exclaimed as she was now wearing her father's signature scarf around her neck as to remember her father

"she probably got this side from her old man" Ur said as she opens the backyard door to let North go to his family "like in the old saying; like father like daughter"

"isn't it like mother like daughter?" Meredy said as she sent Aya straight to the bathroom to take a bath while she takes the dirty clothes

The day goes by as the night came to greet everyone in Magnolia

Ultear and the others were at the backyard as they were all standing in front of Natsu's grave

Everyone started to place objects in front of the grave as items such as letters, flowers, and fruits as today was Natsu's birthday and they were celebrating it for him

"happy birthday dad" Aya said as she place a small cake in front of the grave "today I did a great job on my request and got a lot of jewels in it"

Aya started to tell everything about her journey as she laughed with her family

"and so then I got the jewels and went back home" Aya said as she finished telling her story to her passed father "and don't worry! I eat my vegetables! I take good care of North and the others! And I reject all the guys who just like my looks!"

Aya slowly teared up as she wipes it away with her hand

"I just…..i just miss you so much" Aya said as she sniffles and cries a bit

Ur patted her back as doing this was very emotional for the girl

"anyway, Happy birthday dad" Aya said as she wiped away her tears "hope you like the cake"

Then it was Meredy as she sat her son to her lap

"hey Natsu meet your grandpa; Natsu" Meredy said as she named her baby boy after her father "he's a bundle of joy and very energetic…."

They all took turn as they tell everything to Natsu for his birthday

Last came Ultear who sat in front of the grave while Ur and the others give her some time alone as this was something that is very sensitive for her and she need some solitary with him

"we'll be in having some coco" Ur said as Ultear nodded before the rest went back into the house

Now she was alone with North and his family as the wolf pack was asleep while Ultear just sat in front of the grave

Ultear reached into her dress and pulled out the pendant, the pendant that holds all memories of Natsu and her together in the past

"it's been 2 years already…" Ultear said "everyday…..i would hope that you would come back home like in the past"

Ultear opened the pendant as she looks to the picture of her and Natsu, both smiling so happily with each other

"I keep watching out the window hoping and praying that one day….you would come into the house, and see how our family grew"

Tears drip down to the pendant as Ultear's tears overflowed

"i…..miss you….so so much" Ultear cried out her tears burst out as her husband's passing did a great toll to her "I miss the warmth from your hugs…I missed how our family used to be….i…i….i"

Her emotions swelled up as she cried for her husband

North wakes up as the wolf went towards Ultear and nudge his snout to her while letting out a sad whine

Ultear wiped away her tears as she wipes off the tears from her pendant

"thank you…north" Ultear thanked the wolf as North sat down beside her to keep her company

She spends more time talking about the days she missed her husband, the days where they were happy together

After a few hours, the moon was high in the night and so did the time for rest is needed

Ultear stands up as she caresses the grave mark before walking back to her home

North followed her before his ears perked up and the wolf turns around and gives a soft howl

A breeze went pass Ultear as her hair blows in the wind

She shielded her eyes before she turns to look to North and her eyes widen

In the moonlight stood Natsu near his grave as the man gave Ultear a soft smile

"Natsu…." She muttered out as Natsu nodded to her and made his way to her

Ultear reached her hand to him as she touched his cheeks and felt how warm he was

"Natsu…" Ultear started to tear up but Natsu wiped away her tears

"do you remember? Our first dance in the moonlight?" Natsu asked as Ultear nodded with a soft smile

Natsu took the lead as he takes Ultear's hand and both dance in the moonlight

He spins her and catches her as they dance in a gentle tempo

Natsu holds her to him as Ultear rested her head to his chest to feel his warmth

"I love you….Ultear" Natsu said as his body started to sparkle

"I love you too, Natsu" Ultear replied as she pulls him in for a kiss before long, Natsu disappeared as he turns into sparkles

Ultear touched the sparkle as they fly in the wind and into the night sky as they turn into stars

She touched her heart as she smiled to the night sky filled with stars

A shooting star fell from the sky as Ultear watched the night sky

In the northern area of Fiore, in the hidden oasis where Durya lives within, the Dryad was sitting on the grass of his home where the flowers around him bloomed

He touched a flower before the flower suddenly withers away

"why are you here?" Durya asked as the astral figures of Drac and Vlad appeared behind him

"wElL SeeING hoW tHIs CraPPY PlACe was OnCE OuR hOMe, wE've ThoUGht tHAt we ShOULD paY it a ViSIT" Vlad said with a grin

"name your objective" Durya said as he stands up and looks to the astral figures

"we are here to give you a notice" Drac told the Dryad "he still lives"

Durya's eyes widen as he turns to look at Drac and Vlad but they have disappeared

"Natsu….is still alive?" Durya said as somewhere in the world in a faraway land from Ishgar, a cloaked figure walks in a dessert storm as the figure had glowing red eyes
