"While I cannot think of any mortal who deserves their rest more than you, it is time to wake up Descendant. Your long rest is finally at an end." A voice that Lucy vaguely recognized called out, drawing the blonde from her dreamless sleep. Slowly blinking away her sleep, Lucy rose to a seated position as she tried to make sense of her surroundings. Gone was the smell of the ocean and the dirt and trees that had surrounded her moments ago. Gone was the dragon who had been threatening Fairy Tail only moments ago. Instead she found herself surrounded by massive towers of a golden city, a blue sky, a massive ornate gate, and just off to the side

Even though Lucy was smiling over the story she was currently being told, a tale of Wendy getting stuck at the top of a very tall tree and needing her mother to come help her down, the smile didn't quite reach her eyes. the situation wouldn't allow for her to truly be happy after all. The situation was not ideal to put it mildly. They were being assaulted by a dark guild of relatively unknown strength, though they were known to be a member of the Balam Alliance and therefore quite strong. Their members were scattered, injured, and uninformed of the true extent of the invasion. Their Master was injured, likely incapacitated for the remainder o

Lucy couldn't help but plant her hands on her knees as she fought to get her breathing under control, the sweat pouring down her head occasionally blinding her as it fell from her eyelashes. The attackers, while individually not very powerful, were numerable, and fighting them off had been far more of a challenge than Lucy had expected. Dodge an attack, move away, counter-attack. Make use of Wendy's enchantment while it lasts. Attack yet again. Avoid being caught in the crossfire between Mira and her opponents. Coordinate with Lisanna to deal with a particularly troublesome opponent. Ignore the pain in her side from a bad hit. It had been abs

Despite not having the memories to back up her assumption, Lucy was fairly certain that she would be grateful regardless for the harsh element training she had received back at the Institute. It was hot, it was so very hot. The blonde mage could only assume that wherever this place known as Tenrou Island was located, it was clearly close to the equator, if not right on top of it. Nearly everyone on board had changed into some form of swimsuit in order to avoid suffering from heatstroke, the sole exception being the Master who had simply changed into a floral shirt. And that wasn't even mentioning the motion sickness. While it was true that sh

Lucy couldn't help but sigh heavily as she watched yet another team run into the guild, grab a request off the board, ran up to the counter to wave the request in Mira's face, before running back out a second later before the doors could even shut from their entrance. It had been nearly three weeks since the incident with Jude Heartfilia was finished and things had been going back to normal…or at least Lucy assumed this was normal, as she still wasn't certain. The Magic Council had swooped in only minutes after the massive airship crashed down, arresting everyone present, including Natsu Dragneel when he attempted to flee. It had taken

Erza wanted to grit her teeth in frustration as she once again swung at movement in the mist only to miss her mark, though she did have her dignity as the most powerful woman in Fairy Tail and as such only narrowed her eyes in annoyance. True to its name, the blood mist spell the assassin had used had caused a crimson cloud to rise from the wounds of the defeated pirates and filling the hallway, reducing their visibility to almost nothing and filling the air with the metallic scent of death. Juvia had tried to wash it away, but it remained stubbornly in place. Even Gray, having created walls of ice in order to separate themselves from the cri

After punching what must have been his tenth pirate, Natsu finally started to notice a change in the bastard's tactics. They had stopped just blindly charging in and throwing themselves in front of his fiery fists and instead they were actually trying to play it smart. They were letting Natsu come to them instead of rushing the pinked haired slayer and had actually started to throw magic their way. Pathetic, waste of time magics that Natsu barely even bothered to try dodging, but magic all the same. And with their change in tactics the Fairy Tail rescue party hadn't made much progress, only having moved from the landing area to the hallway be

Natsu glared from his corner of the room at the newest dragon slayer, the tension in the room so noticeable that even he was picking up on it. They had arrived at the town only a few minutes ago and Erza had almost instantly herded them into the Inn with a scowl to force the Fairy Tail members to obey, while Tiria followed on the promise of cake. Apparently, she had just as much of an appetite as Natsu and Gajeel, something that would've made the dragon slayer happy normally but with Luce still missing it was more kinda just…annoying. With them all crowded around in a single room Erza had pulled out a weird orb thingy, the Ice jerk sayi

The walk back to the local in was so strange that even Natsu was able to pick up on it, even if he was vibrating with such barely constrained rage that he was having trouble containing himself. Erza, Gray, and the others kept making faces that were alternating between worry and suspicion, while Tiria looked almost bored, her hands over her head while she whistled a tune that seemed almost designed to grate on Natsu's nerves. A part of him, hell most of him if he was being completely honest, wanted to just grab the little witch by her cloak and shake her until she gave up Luce's location. Sure, she was kinda strong and all that, and Luce might

As Natsu paced back and forth in front of the infirmary, as he was no longer allowed inside due to the fact that his constant movement was distracting Wendy, he couldn't help but growl under his breath. It had been hours, Hours! Since Luce's robot chick had come crashing down just outside the guild and still the old man hadn't sent them to go track down Natsu's missing partner. Sure, he really didn't have a good way to track the blonde slayer, and going into a battle blind wasn't exactly a great idea, but still…he just couldn't stand this! Every second that they spent at the guild could be another second that Luce was getting hurt. And
