Chapter 1: Beyond the Wanderer
A/N: Hey! This is my first fanfic so all helpful constructive critisism is appriciated, but try to be nice.
This chapter is just to lay out where the story is starting, as to not confuse anyone, the story after this is mostly about Natsu.
Some things you might want to know:
1. This story does take place after Avatar arc in the manga and I am assuming all is fine and dandy and Master Makarov was not kidnapped, and Fairy Tail is back together.
2. I really don't know anything else and I'm enjoying wasting your time reading random ranting.
Thats it for now, enjoy

Chapter 1:Beyond the Wanderer
A silence whispered through the leaves of the forest near Magnolia. Not just the one silence of the still birds and the wind, but a second silence far more discreet and less noticeable to the human ear.
What kind of silence could be heard if you are unable to hear?
The silence that follows death.
The silence that followed Zeref through the forest beckoned to be heard, not that he minded. The more quiet the forest, the more he could think about the goal ahead of him. The only thing that could be certain was that this was the choice between how the world would end and how it would begin.
Zeref stopped in a empty clearing, making a sudden jerk toward the sky to speak to an old friend. The question echoing faintly to the distant forest.
"What choice will you make?"
"Natsu!" a familiar cat exeed called out to his partner. He had run ahead again, leaving Lucy and Happy in the well laid dust that was their partner's flaming curiosity.
The forest was huge and the trail even longer, if they couldn't catch up, what town would he be burning up next?
It had been a year since Fairy Tail was disbanded and now finally things seemed to be climbing the steps toward being normal, however, even to think something so naive could happen could be bad luck in itself. With the realization that Master Makarov would never be able to retire and the holder of the title 8th master, things seemed to only be at its beginning. Natsu had made is power entrance to the Grand Magic Games only months ago.
After what seemed like an impossible task of getting Fairy Tail back together, Lucy resumed her usual residence in Magnolia and started those quests she longed for.
Until, that is, she realized how ridiculous this journey had become. She could barely recall the point of trudging in the forest with a powerhouse that burnt up half the forest to take out one Forest Vulgan.
"Natsu! You idiot! Come back!" she called, not that she really had any hope anymore.
She wasn't even sure it was the Vulgan he was after. Whatever he was running after, she hoped it was close enough to catch up.
