After the day's wins the guild returned to the tavern master was hiring, Grey and Natsu started fighting yet again. I watch the guild have fun while I just simply sit and drink next to Cana.
"You love~ him." Cana suddenly says making me practically choke on my drink, catching the attention of a certain pink haired lad before Erza decided to teach Natsu and Grey a lesson about destroying her cake. I try to pay attention to them but Gajeel entering the pub caught my eye.
"If I see another mine cart, it'll be too soon." Gajeel says as he stands with a hand on his hip
"Where have you been? You missed all the cake." Happy says
"Yeah Jerk, why'd you take off in the middle of our match?" Natsu asks making me laugh, I was going to continue listening but Cana interrupted again.
"You should really tell him how you feel." Cana says as she swirls her drink around looking towards Natsu, I look at him too untill Gajeel calls me over.
"You're coming with us." He says and pulls me along with them for some time into an underground tunnel under the arena.

"So uhm, what did you find down here?" Wendy asks as we continue our walk in the tunnel, I try to stay close to Natsu as tunnels make me uneasy after a job that went wrong a few years before.
"Pipe down and keep up." Gajeel says a little grouchy.
"Why'd you only bring us?" Natsu asks, I nod along also wanting to know the reason. The exceeds also adding to the conversation thinking about what Gajeel could've found as Lucy and Grey follow along.
"This is it." Gajeel says stopping Infront of an open space, I look at the view in front of me with a loss for words.
"Look over there." Wendy points out.
"What are those things?" Grey asks confusedly.
"They look like giant bones." Lucy says a little shaky.
"They aren't just bones, these are all dragon remains." I say sadly, as the others continue talking I go to the closest pile of bones and touch it.
"Who knows maybe we'll find Igneel somewhere." Happy says looking around, I gasp at this and look to Natsu who doesn't look to be affected by it.
"My bad." Happy apologizes quietly.
"No, he ain't here." Natsu says rather seriously.
"Guys, I'm going this way to check something?" I say and then take off to the far side of the cave, stopping Infront of a rather large pile of bones, larger than many other piles in the cave. I walk closer to the bones and place a hand on them, going a little closer I smell it and sigh knowing I was right.
"This is another elemental dragon..." I whisper smelling the familiar yet very different scent as that of my late father and mentor, Eligiha.
