AN: This idea has been bouncing around my brain for a while. I feel that I must apologize for my lack of updates, it seems that I am more interested in making more stories rather than updating old ones.

This story is AU and takes place after the seven year time skip but before the GMG (Ignoring the filler arc between the two). So without further ado let's begin.

Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail or any other material used in this fic.

The air around Magnolia seemed heavy today, coupled together with the never ending rain Magnolia was empty and quiet, everyone was inside escaping the rain and the strange feeling in the air, wizard or not, everyone could sense the pressure getting closer and closer, this was especially apparent in the Fairy Tail wizard guild on the outskirts of Magnolia, everyone was on edge the usual energy that the members exudes was dulled by the feeling of unease, even the old/newly appointed guild maser Makarov Dreyer couldn't relax with this pressure that hung in the air.

"What is this feeling?" Makarov asked himself as he took a sip of beer. Behind him was the Fairy Tail barmaid MiraJane Strauss who too couldnt shake the feeling of dead that coursed through her body.

"Master... This pressure in the air, I can't seem to shake this feeling of dread, something is comming Master and it's Coming here... I just know it" Mira said worriedly as she cleaned a tankard.

Makarov looked around the guild at each and everyone of his precious children, he saw that everyone was uneasy and prepared to attack at any given notice, he had to put their hearts at ease. But how? Makarov jumped down from the bar and flared his magic gaining the attention of every member of his guild "Listen up you dam brats..." is as far as Makarov got before he was cut off by the guild doors crashing open revealing a sillouetted figure against the flashes of lightening, everyone jumped out of their skins in fright, even the most harened members of Fairy Tail felt a cold sweat drip down their faces noticing that this person was the source of the eerie presence they all had felt.

The guild watched in silence as the stranger made small strides to the center of the guild hall, the stranger had a body length cloak with a hood that was dripping water onto the wooden floors, his body was completely covered from head to toe so no one could see if this figure was a male or a female that was until the stranger spoke in a distinctivly masculine voice "Is this the Fairy Tail guild?" He asked simply.

Finally getting herself back togeather Erza 'Titana' Scarlett approached the man with a glare and pulled out her sword "What buisness do you have with us? Has Twilight Ogre hired some muscle to give us more greif?" Erza demended harshly, severely disliking the way that Twilight Ogre continues to harass them even after they made a deal in regards to their payments.

The cloaked man stared at Erza for a few seconds before answering "Who?".

"Don't play dumb! We all felt your magic, trying to intimidate us into another early payment!" Erza accused again

The figure sighed "Who the hell is Twili Opie?" He asked with a fair ammount of aggrovation in his voice.

This time a raven haired man in his late teens stepped up and got into the strangers face, "Stop playing dumb, now tell us what do you want?" Demanded the ice make wizard Gray Fullbuster.

"That is enough you two, settle down" Makarov said loudly as he approached the stranger, "Please excuse the poor manners of my children, My name is Makarov Dreyer the third and sixth master of Fairy Tail, who may you be?" Makarov asked polietely

The stranger looked down at the small old man and bowed politely, "My name is Natsu Dragneel but you may know me as Salamander" Natsu replied respectfully.

Immediately everyones eyes went wide, this man was known as the strongst wizard within the Alverez empire, second only to emperor Spriggan himself, this was bad, had Alverez come to declare war with Ishgar? They hoped not but in responce the Fairy Tail wizards each prepared their magic to attack Natsu, all except Makarov who was inspecting Natsu closely, "Stand down brats this man is no threat to us" Makarov said with hs kind grandfatherly voice.

The Fairy Tail wizards were hesitant but one by one they deactivated their magic without a single word, "Thank you master Makarov but can I ask why trust me so easily?" Natsu asked curiously.

Makarov smiled "I can see it in your eyes, the look of a..." That was all he said before a tiny sneeze cut him off.

"One second please" Natsu smiled as he shifted his cloak revealing a small girl with blue hair clinging to his leg as if her life depended on it, the guild was shocked and watched on as he knelt down as close to he hight as she coud get and smiled at her "Are you okay sweetie?" He asked in a soft fatherly voice.

The girl looked at Natsu "my feet are wet papa" She replied she said shyly.

"PAPA!" The guild shouted in suprise, the second stronest and most ruthless soldier from Alvarez was a loving father, who'd have guessed.

Natsu sat wendy down and used his fire magic to dry his daughters shoes and warm up her feet, after he did that Natsu looked at the guild and gave a warm smile "This is my daughter Wendlynne Marvella Dragneel, or just Wendy for short, she is the light of my life" Natsu announced in a fatherly tone, the females of the guild awwed at the statement while the males just smiled.

Makarov cleared his throat getting Natsu's attention "What brings you both here to Fiore? If you don't mind me asking".

Natsu sighed and sat down at the bar with Wendy sitting on his lap "Can I get wendy some Chocolate milkshake please?" Natsu asked politely.

"Sure, it's on the house" Mira replied with a smile.

Natsu smiled at mira "What do you say Wendy".

"Thank you" Wendy said as she smiled brightly.

"It is a long story so I'll give you the short version for now... My family was threatened by the very person I've been sworn to serve and because of that all ties to his imperial ducheness has been severed. Emperor Spriggan murdered my wife, my beloved Maya in cold blood and for that reason I renounced our citizenship and left Alvarez" Natsu explained shocking the whole guild then he let out a nervous laugh "I guess I'll be hunted down as a traitor but as long as Wendy is safe then thats all I care about".

The Fairy Tail guild looked at Natsu and no longer saw Salamander, Alverez's strongest wizard but a loving dad who would protect his child even if that meant giving up everything he has known, "That is very admirable Natsu and I'm sorry for yiur loss, truly. I could talk with the council and ask them about giving you two citizenship but they'll most likely want you to prove your loyalty to Fiore and Ishgar as a whole, so is there anything you have that can prove your loyalty?" Makarov asked in hope that the father and daughter pair could have a place to cal home.

Natsu stroked the light fuzz on his chin as he began to think, "I'm sorry I dont have much physically that can prove anything but I do have some information, information that has gotten people killed" Natsu replied with a frown.

"That's some sensitive information, What is it m'boy?" Makarov asked.

Without hesitation Natsu replied "The true identity of emperor Spriggan".

Makarov gasped in both excitement and nervousness, the Identity of the emperor of Alvarez was a well guarded secret and many people have lost their lives to get this information but now it was being handed to them on a silver platter, "Who is it?" Makarov asked trying not to show his slight aprehention.

"The black wizard himself, Zeref" Natsu replied looking at the whole guild.

Needless to say everyone present gasped, some were shocked and others were angry, many people at the Fairy Tail guild had suffered all in the name of Zeref in one way of another, Gray and Erza being the most prime examples. Makarov was indeed shocked out of all the potential suspects that could be the emperor of Alvarez the black Wizard Zeref was not even given a second thought, hell not even a first thought, "This is indeed troubling, We'll have to make haste to Era immediately... Natsu come with me" Makarov ordered lightly.

Natsu nodded in confirmation before turning around and looking at Mira, "I'm sorry to ask this of you so soon but can you take care of Wendy while we go to Era?" Natsu asked.

Mira smiled and nodded "Sure, I'll keep her safe, no need to worry" Mira replied.

"That's when I worry the most" Natsu replied with a sigh.

"What was that?" Mira asked sweetly.

"Nothing, just being a dad" Natsu replied nervously, he wasn't scared of her, he was scared or leaving Wendy behind. "Now Wendlynne please be good for... errr".

"Mira"

"Be good for Mira, okay"

"Yes papa" Wendy replied ane hugged her dad.

Natsu stood up and rubbed Wendy's hair affectionately "That's my girl" Natsu said as he walkee away with Makarov.

Now that Natsu was gone Wendy suddenly felt self concious with the Fairy Tail guild looking at her, Wendy quickly hid behind Mira and held on tight to her leg "Now now everyone you're making her uncomfortable" Mira said sweetly, everyone quickly turned around and Mira smiled, "So what do you want to do until your dad gets back?".

"Can I have a strawberry cheesecake please?" Wendy asked quietly, but not quiet enough as a certain red headed requip wizard heard her clearly and screamed a loud NO! Scaring wendy to tears.

Mira, always the maternal person she is quickly hugged Wendy and hummed softly "Sure you can, you can have the last slice of the super creamy, ultra delucious, deluxe sized slice we have in the fridge" Mira said while glaring at Erza.

Wendy wiped away her tears and smiled brightly "Thank you aunty Mira".

Mira smiled at Wendy, lifted her up and sat her at the bar, "No problem Wendy" Mira replied with a smile as she left to get the cake.

AN: I'm ending the chapter here.

I'm currently working on a sequel to Love blooms at the GMG, it's taking much longer than expected because my daughter has hit the terrible two's like a ton of bricks, she is extremely difficult to potty train and I have very little time for much else. I've been working on this for a while now. Please excuse my little rant.

Anyway peace out.

SSPP.
