The year is X793, 2 year has passed since that battle.

"The Kemu Zaleon Literacy Prize for best new novelist has been awarded."

A lot of things have happened in the meantime...

"And I'd like to introduce the recipient now! May I present the author of 'The Adventure of Iris', Lucy Heartfilia!"

But they're all doing fine.

"Well, I heard that the main character was modeled after her author, but I never imagined you'd be such a lovely young lady, haha!" A gentleman complimented Lucy, who rubs her nape in embarrassment.

A woman barges into the conversation, explaining to the men. "Oh dear, didn't you know? Lucy-san is a member of that magic guild, Fairy Tail!"

"WHAT WAS THAT ICE PRINCESS?!"

"Ah, no wonder!" the man turned his attention towards a large crowd, sweatdropping at the wizards that were invited to the ceremony.

Lucy, whose face was now red, from not happy embarrassment, but a disappointment embarrassment towards how her guild was acting in front of all these people.

"Honestly, I told you guys you could come to the party IF you keep it down!"

Natsu looked at Lucy as if she was insane, then cheered "No can do!" with Happy shouting an "Ayeee!" after him, making Lucy turn around as she tilt her head and sob silently.

"Honestly, this is my award gala and they're messing it all up!" Lucy says as she sighs.

At that moment, the ancestor of Lucy, Anna Heartfilia, appeared in front of Lucy, congratulating her, causing Lucy to immediately greet her over 400-year-old relative, whose occupation is now a school teacher. 

Over time, a lot of people get closer, like Levy and Gajeel, Gray and Juvia, and so many more people.

"I must say that I'm impressed! I never dreamed you'd win an award!" Erza exclaimed behind Lucy, where Lucy turned her attention toward the Requip Mage, as she continued to compliment her.

"Personally, I have little skills with the written word. At one point, I wrote a thank you missive to a guild and they responded by attacking me." Erza pointed out, with Lucy sweatdropping, not thinking she really did say a thank you note.

Erza coughed, finally getting the point, "By which I mean, congratulations, Lucy, I feel pride at simply being your guildmate."

"Thank you, Erza!"Lucy gushed, slightly thinking about Erza and Jellal now together as a couple.

Not only has the guild changed though, but the previous king of Fiore has also retired, meaning that Princess Hisui, or now known as Queen Hisui, has taken the throne, who has now offered formal pardons to Jellal and the other members of Crime Sorciere.

Of course, they couldn't believe their ears, and couldn't believe it when Hisui told them that, but after a while, they accepted it, and that was how Jellal and the others were finally set free. 

Lucy was very sure the news would have made Erza happy, but...

"It's complicated," Erza said.

"It's way too complicated, Lucy! Can't you write clearer sentences?!" She complained as she held a copy of Lucy's book in her hand, gawking as she tried to figure out the meanings of the complex words.

Makarov who sat in a wheelchair with a bottle of sake in his hand, shouting with Mest pushing his wheelchair for him:

Wonderful, congratulations! Listen, one and all! It was I who raised Lucy, everything she knows, I taught her!" he exclaims, carrying away a bit with his message.

"Quit getting carried away!" Porlyusica roared at him as she slam her fist at his nearly bald head.

Ever since, Makarov has been stuck in a wheelchair, but he has been feisty as ever. Every now and then, he still talks about a weird vision he has, but that doesn't stop him from being the Master of Fairy Tail.

Lucy looks at him, remembering the day since the Dragon War. She remembered a message from the burgundy hair boy, Tanjiro's note:

'Lucy-san, no matter how many people you may lose, you have no choice but to keep living on, no matter how devastating the blows may be. I wish for you and your guild members and family to live peacefully.'

As the party kept going on, Team Natsu and Makarov noticed someone: Mavis Vermillion, the First Master of Fairy Tail who has been deceased for some time.

"The first master?!" Carla exclaims as her eyes widen seeing the blonde female around the party.

As the once known Mavis was walking around, a ravenette boy behind her picked up her handkerchief, saying to her as she paused her feet and turned around.

"Um, I think you dropped this." leaving most people in shock, but Fairy Tail in more shock from the hatred of the Black Wizard.

Mavis, taking the handkerchief from him, stuttering a bit.

"Th-thank you so much!"

"Not at all..."

"Nii-chan!" A voice called out, with a girl with slightly short H/C hair and E/C eyes appeared behind the boy, her green dress flowing behind her, with a backpack.

The wizards witnessing the scene eye's soften, glad to see the once daughter of Bisca and Alzack, but surprised to having to be related to the man that had kind of caused her death

The wizards witnessing the scene eye's soften, glad to see the once daughter of Bisca and Alzack, but surprised to having to be related to the man that had kind of caused her death.

"Alios-nii, can we hurry up and get Lucy-san's autograph?" She questioned her brother, tilting her head slightly.

Chuckling, Alios picked her up into his arms, replying "Of course, R/N, let's be polite first though to the lady in front of us though."

Giving the same smile R/N had in her past life when she was a wizard of Fairy Tail, she introduced herself the same way she had introduced herself to Lucy.

"Hi, pretty lady! I'm R/N L/N! What's your name?"

Smiling, the green eye girl said "I'm Mio, and I assume your brother's name is Alios?"

Gasping, the girl questioned her "How do you know Alios-nii's name? Do you have a crush on Alios-nii and stalk him like those people in books?"

As the 2 older teens laughed at the young girl's assumption as she already forgot she mentioned her brother's name, Makarov signaled Bisca and Alzack to look over at the scene as they were posing for a painting by Reedus.

The moment they connected their eyes to a familiar small figure, their eyes were one trimming with tears like the day their once upon eldest daughter had died, but with a smile on their face, glad to see her smiling again like the child she once was.

Placing R/N back on the stone ground, Alios held his focus back to Mio, asking her questions.

"Do you work for a publisher?"

"Yep! A very small one though!"

R/N, bored of their conversation already though it hardly started, had her attention at Lucy, her E/C eyes sparkling with interest.

Pulling out the copy of 'The Adventure of Iris', she swiftly made her way towards the author of the book, and stood in front of Lucy, behind her with her Team.

"Pretty miss, do you know where I can find Lucy-san?" she asked the said girl, in where Natsu strolled up to her and placed his hand on her hair, saying "You're standing in front of her right now, kiddo!"

Raising her sparkling eyes up to the pink hair male, she exclaimed "Really?!" and brought her attention back to Lucy, who was nodding her head.

Lifting her hands carrying the thick book, she asked "Could you please sign my book? It's kind of hard to read, but it's not stopping me from reading like it is from me learning magic like you and your team even though everyone says you guys make a ruckus!"

Wendy asked R/N "What magic do you use?"

R/N who made the similar pose of when Makarov had complimented her the day Lucy joined the guild, telling Wendy "My magic is Thunder! Or is it Lighting?..."

Grinning, she took the book from the girl's hand and pulled out a pen, signing her name on the front page of the book, adding the last words of when the young girl in front of her before known as Y/N Connell:

'Keep Making Your Dreams Come True!' and hand the book back to the young girl in front of her, whose E/C was shining a lot brighter than the stars tonight.

"Thank you Lucy-san, I hope I can see you guys in the future!" She said as her brother called her over, which she quickly got to her brother's side, and the 3 of them walked away, kind of looking like a family a bit. 

As they all grinned, Fairy Tail went back to partying, enjoying the rest of the night, most thinking about who they had just met again after 2 years of her death.


The End 


---

Gotta say I'm kinda glad I finally finished a book. I'll start finishing the 'Protect Till the End' or maybe start a new book, because I'm slightly losing motivation to finish that book. Anyways, thank you for getting this far and reading this book! I hope you enjoyed it, as much as I enjoyed writing this book! 

Have a lovely morning/afternoon/evening!
