It's been a few hours since Natsu's little display at the Guild. He knows that it would draw a lot of question about him in the future but he didn't really care. By the time Makarov tells them about him leaving, he'll be long gone and hopefully out of Fiore within the next 5 days.

It's not that he dislikes being in Fiore, it's just the moniker 'Salamander' is one that is fairly well known in big parts of Fiore. However, the one that will stand out most will be Mira.

She models a fair bit for Sorcerer Weekly and is very popular around Fiore, and when the wind catches that both of them left Fairy Tail, it will spread fast. Sorcerer Weekly was just published today, which is why he waited a few days since it will likely be a hot topic in next issue.

Yet if they able to get out of Fiore before the next Issue is published it will be easier to travel, with a less chance of others knowing who they are and because of a certain, Powerful Ice God Slayer, he knows that kind of stuff doesn't really travel between the other Kingdoms of Ishgar, so going to one of the neighboring Kingdoms. Either Seven or Bosco, with them being the only Kingdoms that are connected by land directly. Doing so will make things easier till news settles down in Fiore.

Anyways we see Natsu walking to his house when arriving he walks inside. Looking around at the messy house he walks over to one part of the wall as he pushes against it and a hidden door opens up.

Walking through the door and down a set of stairs, he walks into a small room. Said room has a single small desk against the back wall with a chair in front of it. Along the left wall, there's a single sword rack, on it is a Beautiful Golden Sheath, with a Silver Strap hanging down. On a hook just above it is a Medallion, A Silver Medallion in the Shape of a Dragon Head, It has a Green Gem in the left eye and a Red Gem in the Right Eye.

Walking over to the desk. On top of it are a few books, each with different types of letterings on them. Sitting in at the back of the desk is a picture frame, with a picture in it. In the Photo, we see 4 people and 3 dragons. In the background, we see a Large Tenrou Tree, similar to the one on Tenrou Island, Fairy Tail's Holy Ground, but this one is almost 3 times larger, even though it's hard to tell in the photo.

The four people in the photo are Irene Belserion, to her right is Natsu Dragneel himself, to his right we see Alex Logia or what everyone else knows him as Acnologia and to his right is someone we've yet to see. A woman with blond lengthy hair back in a ponytail and had side-swept bangs in front, with two strands of hair draped down the sides of her head and wearing a dressed in elegant red and white robes with a high-collared cloak, this is Anna Heartfilia.

Then Dragons behind them are Igneel The Fire Dragon King, Belserion The Sage Dragon King, and a Pale Blue Western Dragon known as Tiamat The Chaos Karma Dragon Queen.

Yet the most noticeable thing on the desk would a small red dome in the middle, though you're unable to see through it. On the Dome, itself are multiple magic circles all moving around. Putting his right hand on top of the Dome, it glows a bit before fading away revealing an open book under it. The book itself is turned to the last page, and on said page are 4 Magic Circles, 1 of which seems to be Black and not moving while the other 3 are Dark Red and spinning slowly, yet the one next to the Black one is moving slower than the others.

"7 Years and just over half of the seals have been powered," Natsu says to himself.

Looking down to his right hand we see a Red Magic Circle glowing as Natsu feels a presence behind him, looking over his shoulder we see a woman with red hair that seems to have fire flowing along it, her eyes are red and seem to glow like fire, she wears a Red Kimono, with an orange sash and 8 large red beads attached to the sash that seem to hold fire in them.

"You need something Klea? I haven't seen you around lately so I thought you'd be busy, being the Elemental Lord of Fire after all." Natsu says as he turns around and faces her while leaning back against the desk.

Klea shrugs, "What is there for me to do anyway? Most things that would involve me or any of the other Elemental Lords are long forgotten about now, and Belphal, The Elemental Lord of Wind is the only one that does his own thing, were the rest of us have a contract with someone, mostly out of boredom, where he just goes where the wind takes him. Lazy Bastard" Klea mutters the last part to herself.

Natsu chuckles hearing her. He's met Belphal a few times over the years and one can definitely tell that the guy doesn't give 2 shits about interacting with the world anymore. He just spends his time floating around, and only a few beings are able to see him. Humans and being similar would just think it's just the wind.

"So is there a reason you showed up suddenly?" Natsu asks though she does appear at times just to bug him, she mostly just does her own thing or just stays in his subconscious.

"Well knowing that you're going to be traveling around, and not likely wanting to draw attention to yourself, or your traveling companion that you'll be having. I talked with Shiroyasha and was able to get you theses" Klea finishes as she raises a hand and flames appear from it and when it disappears two pitch black cloaks appear in her hand, each having a dragon scale pattern on it.

Natsu recognized the Dragon Scales, it belonged to Apophis, the Primal Eclipse Dragon, one of the many dragons that sided with going against the coexistence between Humans and Dragons. He stood out since he was one of the strongest on the opposing side and had immense darkness and shadow based abilities. Alex was the one to end him near the ending of the war. Yet some of his powers were preserved within his scales even after death, making them very good for staying out of sight since the scales have the passive ability to hide one's presence so the wearer will just seem like a shadow to others, and how often do people take notice in a random shadow.

"So she did have some more laying around, though they were all destroyed over time, the only long lasting one being the one Alex wears, hence why he's able to stay out of sight even when traveling within public places. So what kind of deal did you make with her to get those?" Natsu asks, gaining a blush from the Spirit which Natsu chuckles at 'That crazy loli is as perverted as ever apparently.' Natsu says in his head while chuckling.

Though he stops when the cloaks are thrown at him. Taking the cloaks off him, he takes one last look at them before they burst into red flames and disappear from sight. Turning back around he looks at the book on the desk again.

"I thought you would have sealed that book away somewhere, just so it doesn't fall into the wrong hands," Klea says from behind him.

"Maybe but I think it's safer if it's kept close by so I know where it is. Even if something is sealed away, there always someway to break a seal no matter how strong, nothing is truly Immortal in this world of ours." Natsu says as the book suddenly bursts into black flames and disappears. As the book disappears he puts his hand on top of the desk itself as the desk glows red and it, plus everything on top of it, disappears in a burst of red flames like the cloaks did.

Turning back around he walks over to the Sword Sheath and Medallion. He takes the Medallion from the hook above and puts it around his neck. Both eyes glow their respective color for a moment before going back to normal. He takes the Sheath and puts it on. The Sheath itself glows sliver as The Demon Slayer materializes in it.

"You know I've yet to hear how you were able to get a contract with her," Klea says in an even tone.

"Does it still bother you that much?" Natsu questions.

"Years ago all Contract Spirits had a connection to one of the 6 Elemental Lord. All because their elements were close to one of the 6 main elements. Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, Holy and Darkness. But Est was the oddball out of everyone, even though she killed the Demon King, her attribute isn't Holy but an attribute of Steel, even then she has had no connection with any of the Elemental Lords. Add in the fact one of her abilities is Magic Nullification means one can't even use magic to control her. So yeah it bothers me a bit, she's been contracted to you even longer than I have after all." Klea continues with a displeasing tone.

Natus just chuckles at her as he starts walking out the room leaving only a single chair, but stops before walking out, "Everyone has their secrets, some might be darker than others, and some might just be silly. Yet the reason we made a contract is something I will carry with me forever, it's the least I can do." Natus finishes as he walks out the room and the house after taking everything he'll need.

In the hidden room, we see Klea still standing there but now with a saddened look on her face. For as long as she's known Natsu, she's learned that he's pretty much an open book to the ones he fully trusts. He might keep secrets from one person, but another 5 will know what that is. If he does keep secrets from others then it's for a good reason and it would normally come to light later down the line anyways. When he tells a lie, most of the time it'll only be half wrong with part of the truth in it. The ones he keeps secrets from are just the ones he doesn't fully trust, but to know if he does trust you or not is unknown until he tells you himself.

Yet out of everyone she knows that he trusts, only one other knows the reason for the contract with him and Est. Afureia, one of the Ten Seraphs from the Divine Realm or Heaven, is what humans would normally call it. She was also the original wielder of Terminus Est.

He grew up in the same village as Irene and been friends with both Alex and Anna for just as long even though they grew up in different villages. Yet none of them know how. Even herself is unable to find out how, and with the contract she has with him, she is able to look through his past memories if needed but that day she's unable to look at, the days before and after she's able to but just that one day, Nothing.

It bothers her since used correctly Terminus Est is very dangerous. The ability of Magic Nullification isn't rare but they normally have limits, mostly with the strength of the magic they're nullifying or certain types of magic can't be nullified. The most dangerous part is her Ability is to Destroy All Curses whether it was from very powerful demons or gods, she has the ability to destroy the curses but in reality, it's not destroyed yet passed on to Est herself and her wielder, which is where she earned the name Bag of Curses since any curse she destroys gets stored in her. Yet when the bag gets full, all the curses get passed to her Master, who is Natsu at this point in time.

The more powerful the curse, the more space it takes up. Natsu has destroyed only a few curses over the years. Most of the time he's able to destroy a curse without the help of Est but there have been times where he had no choice.

Letting out a sigh, a red magic circle appears under her as she's swallowed by flames and when the flames disperse, she's gone.

X784; November 24th at 10:50 pm

Currently taking one final look at Magnolia we see Natsu, wearing the same clothes as before but has the Black Cloak on. On his back, we see the Demon Slayer and Sheath but they're mostly hidden under the cloak with just the hilt of the sword sticking out slightly.

Natsu met up with Mira again not long after getting his things from home to set up their leaving time to be around 11 pm. Though when she'll arrive he doesn't fully know but is not worried since she'll likely be saying her final goodbyes to her siblings, much to their sadness but both Natsu and Mira know that they won't let it stop them from continuing how they live.

"So you're finally leaving Fairy Tail, after all these years." A young female voice is heard from behind, it seems like lots of people are talking behind his back lately.

"More like finally left Fairy Tail," Natsu says as he moves his right arm and shows where the Fairy Tail mark used to be is now gone. "I'm tired of being pushed around by people and confined by everyone else. I could have acted back but that would do more harm than good and being the center of attention is something I like to keep away from if I can help it."

"You say you left but you're still able to hear me and doubt see me too," the voice says.

"I'm simply capable of seeing Spectators, Ghosts, and anything invisible to humans whatsoever. Humans and race's similar are blind in most prospects compared to other beings in this world of ours." Natsu says still looking in the distance.

"Or maybe you'll always be a member of Fairy Tail even when not apart of the Guild."

Natsu turns to speak toward the 'ghost' in front of him now. "You know that isn't how things work. I don't know if you've gotten more stubborn or just being the same brat I knew all those years ago, Mavis." Natsu says to the First Master of Fairy Tail.

Mavis pouts cutely, "Just because you've been around longer than me doesn't mean you can still call me a brat."

Natsu just chuckles "well when you stop acting like one then maybe, just maybe I will." Natsu says, in return, Mavis sticks her tongue out at Natsu in a childlike manner before fading way, gaining another chuckle from Natsu.

"Is something funny?" Mira's voice is heard as Natsu looks to the side and sees her walking up towards him.

"Just the 'ghost' that's been haunting me for years now is just acting like a child again," Natsu says, gaining a confused look from Mira and before she can question further Natsu speaks up again.

"I never thought I see that day where you wear something like that again," Natsu comments Mira's current appearance which is pretty close to what she used to wear. She is now wearing a black tank top that has a shade of dark purple in it covered with a black jacket, black leather pants held up with a dark purple belt and thigh-high boots. Her hair is in a high ponytail held by a small purple ribbon, yet she still has the small front ponytail.

"As much as I like the dresses, they're not suitable for long travels by foot. Besides I never really disliked dressing like this even after Lisanna's 'death'. I just didn't think it suited the way I wanted to be seen around that time." Mira says with an even tone.

"Oh? So is the 'She-Devil' going to make a come back after all these years?" Natsu questions with an amused smirk.

Mira just gives a mischievous smirk, one that no one would expect to gain from her nowadays and one that would send even some powerful demons running for the hills. Thought on her part, it was more of a test. She's been curious about Natsu's actions recently and the way he stood up to Erza this morning. Normally when threatened by Erza or even by herself in the past, he would coward in fear but recently he seems more annoyed of Erza's threats. Sorta like when she's hit on by other guys when traveling. Where she just wants to continue without being interrupted, that kind of annoyed.

Yet at the moment, instead of showing any fear one might expect from Natsu, he just lets out a small chuckle, "Well if so then I look forward to it." Natsu pauses before speaking again, "And before I forget, here." He says as he stretches out his hand and a flame appears. After it disappears a cloak, the other one Klea gave him early, is now in his hand and he tosses it at Mira, gaining a questioning look from her.

Natsu sighs "I'm not stupid enough to walk around in plain sight, news travels fast in Fiore. When the wind catches that Fairy Tail's poster girl has left the guild, along with 'Salamander', it will spread like wildfire. It's just a little something to help stay in the shadows till we get out of Fiore." Natsu explains, gaining a bit of a surprised reaction from Mira since she actually never thought about the after effects outside the guild that could happen.

"Wait, get out of Fiore?" Mira questions gaining a nod from Natsu.

"Just for a bit, till news settles down about us leaving Fairy Tail. We can get out of Fiore in about 5 days, I at least want to get out in 7 days. The people on Sorcerer's Weekly will likely make a big deal about this so I want to leave before it publishes again." Natsu answers, getting a thoughtful look and a nod from Mira.

"Their latest issue was published today. So that's why you weren't in much of a hurry to leave for the past few days" Mira says gaining another nod from Natsu. In all honesty, she was surprised that he planned ahead on this.

"Who are you and what have you done with the stupid idiot I knew?" Mira questions, half-jokingly.

Natsu just raises an eyebrow before lightly chuckling before looking over Magnolia again "He was just a clone because they thought the real me was gone, but when he was alone I took his place and sealed him away forever." Natsu says. After a few moments he looks back at Mira, "I guess it's safe to say you already erased your guild mark?"

"Yeah, it feels weird though. Having the mark for so long and now it's gone." Mira says with a bit of sadness in her voice.

"Well, you still have time to turn back and stay," Natsu says

Mira shakes her head, "Like I said before, I turned back once already but I'm following through this time."

"Well if you're sure then it's time for us to go, I want to get some distance from here before Makarov drops the bomb on everyone," Natsu says gaining a nod from Mira.

"Well then let's go then," Mira says as they start walking into the forest and out of sight from Magnolia.

X784; November 25th at 6:30 am.

In Magnolia we see Makarov walking towards the Fairy Tail guild hall, complaining about all the paperwork he's got to do with all the brats in the guild.

Walking through the front gates he puts his hand out to open the large front doors of the guild but instead of opening they stay shut as he walks right into the door.

"Ow, It's still locked, I thought Mira wou…" Makarov stops himself. "Oh yeah, she left too." Going through his pocket he pulls out a key and opens the door, walking inside he looks around at the empty guild hall. "It's going to weird not having those two around."

Walking over to the empty bar he goes into the kitchen, "Now I got to make my own coffee in the morning," Makarov grumbles to himself as he makes a coffee and walks upstairs.

Sitting behind the desk he looks at the bane of all Guild Masters… Paperwork. Grumbling to himself again he stretches his arm out and grabs the top paper from one of the many piles of papers. As he pulls the paper, an envelope sitting on top falls down and lands in front of him.

Looking at it he notices it the envelope that Natsu gave him yesterday. Turning it over he looks at the seal on it which is in the shape of a dragon head. Touching it, it glows as a hologram of Natsu appears and tells his message.

Well, that's going to be it for this chapter.

I decided to give Acnologia a different name and have 'Acnologia' be considered a nickname givin' to him during the Dragon Civil War, plus it won't be much of a mouth full in the future for when he's around. Besides, I always thought that's how it was and over the years he just took the name of Acnologia has his own.

Next Chapter will be the reveal to Fairy Tail and a little bit of Natsu's and Mira's travel. Plus a little bit of explaining of Contract Spirits towards Mira.

Anyways that's all until next time.

Later
