Chapter 1: Reminiscing

A lone figure wearing a black cloak could be seen standing on a cliff overlooking a town. When looking at the face under the hood of the cloak the only thing that could be seen was a sad smile gracing his face as he is watched the sunset behind the town that he had called his home for most of his life. This town is none other than the town of Magnolia, which is well known because it is the town that is home to the rambunctious guild of Fairy Tail. Now you may be asking yourself who is this man overlooking Magnolia and why is he having a sad smile gracing his face while looking over this beautiful town that he calls home.

To answer the first part of the question, is really quite simple; the lone figure is none other than Natsu Dragneel. Now to answer the second of this question is a little more complicated, because there are many different factors causing Natsu Dragneel to look over Magnolia with a sad smile on his face. Natsu is right now reminiscing about all of time he spent in this town since he joined Fairy Tail all those years ago.

Natsu thought about when he was little and all of the fights he used to get into with Grey throughout the town and then all of the damage that resulted from the fights, which then resulted in the much more painful memories of Erza Scarlet beating Grey and him into a bloody pulp. Which would forever cause him to fear Erza slightly, and this was only cemented when Erza and Mira would start fighting each other and destroying anything in their path.

He then remembered all of the times that Mira would pick on him and made fun of him, all in the hopes of getting him to cry. Natsu was then reminded of a sweeter memory of him and Lissana playing when they were children in the park, and then thinking of one of the best things too happened to him was finding Happy's egg and hatching it together with her and raising Happy as their kid, which caused Natsu's smile to become a little bigger. He then recalled some of the more recent memories of him and sometimes the rest of his team sneaking into Lucy's apartment and looking at her underwear, reading her unfinished novel, working out, or just sleeping in her bed.

He then thought of all of the adventures that he was part of while being a mage of Fairy Tail and all the time spent together as a family. All of the guild brawls that he was most likely the cause of, the numerous times that he would kick open the doors and shout that he or his team were back. And everybody would be doing what they usually did, Mira smiling at the bar while cleaning a glass. Master Makarov and Cana drinking, with her drinking quite a bit more than Master of course, Nab standing in front of the request board never being able to find that one elusive quest that would be just right for him.

Macco and Wakaba smoking and drinking together while talking about the good old days and also looking at all of the beautiful women in the guild while wishing that they were younger. Alzack and Bisca would usually be playing with their daughter Asuka with an ever constant smile on their faces. There was always Levy reading a book with Jet and Droy hovering around her, either cheering her on or arguing with each other who she likes more between the two of them. This was always being carefully watched by the Iron dragon slayer Gajeel in the corner with his exceed partner Pantherlily sitting on their table.

Erza would most likely be eating a strawberry cheese cake with a pleasant smile on her face, Wendy would be at a table talking to Charle who would be ignoring Happy and all of his advances at her, trying to get her to love him which was usually just him trying to give her a fish that he already knew she didn't want. Grey would be stripping unconsciously with Juvia leering at him from behind a pillar, and Lucy would be complaining to him about not being able to pay her rent this month. All of these memories caused Natsu to let out a sad chuckle because he knew that none of those things will happen anytime soon or ever again, well for him to at least see or experience.

Natsu turned around and started to walk away from Magnolia with the intentions to never return, and as he was walking his right shoulder became exposed from underneath his cloak, and what stood out was the absence of his red Fairy Tail emblem that he usually displayed proudly to all of the world. As he walked he could only think back to the last S-Class exam and what had happened earlier that day and as he did so his smile vanished and was replaced with a scowl. This then turned into a grin as he said. "So long my so called family, until we meet again Fairy Tail." with the hit of venom in his voice when he said Fairy Tail.
