Have you ever wondered what might have happened during the time period from when fairy tail defeated Acnologia to the day when Team Natsu set out to complete century quest?
Everything seemed peaceful...or was it really peaceful?
Especially when Kayd...

One week has passed after Kayden began his faithful journey as a 'proud' Fairy tail wizard.
Mirajane put an electric blue guildmark on Kayden's right biceps just like other dragon slayers.
Everyday Kayden comes to guildhall, buys bread from Mirajane, takes it to the table behind everyone, sits there till it's time to go back watching everything and everyone behave. Casein Nitrate, of course joined Kayden in everything he does.
Casein Nitrate soon became friends with Happy, Carla and Pantherlily.
But Kayden...
As people start to realise Kayden really doesn't mean any harm anymore, they tried approaching him.
While a few others still treated him meanly.
Not knowing what would trigger him and them into doing something both would regret later, Kayden decided to ignore both groups of people who treat him nicely and badly.
Natsu and his friends noticed Kayden staying alone whenever he was in the guild, and tried to get him talk to others.
But Kayden didn't budge from his decision.
He convinced himself that as long as he doesn't get along with others, he wouldn't get hurt when they abandon him.
That's when Master Makarov decided to take things into his own hands. He called the messenger team and said.
"Go to other guilds and inform them that the matter with Kayden Break has resolved and now, he's a Fairy tail member. Tell them that they're welcomed to come and greet him here at the guild." Makarov smirked looking at Kayden.
Kayden felt a chill run down his spine, a feeling that something's gonna happen real soon.
Well, his mind must be messy after all the confusing shits that's happened, so he decided to ignore it and went back to eating his bread..
And so, word started traveling to other guilds and outside guilds, and they soon reached Sabertooth and Crime Sorciere.
And so Sting Eucliff, Rogue Cheney and Jellal Fernandez decided to visit Fairy tail.
.....
At first, Kayden didn't understand why he was being called to Makarov's private office.
But he went there anyway. Casein Nitrate had gone out with Happy and Pantherlily on what they called as an exceed's hangout.
So he was alone. And was damn tired of dealing with other guild mates.
He knocked on the door and heard a muffled "Come in."
He opened the door and saw Makarov chatting with three new people.
Kayden immediately felt the same nostalgic feeling he felt towards the three dragon slayers when he saw Sting and Rogue.
And Sting and Rogue noticed Kayden smelled familiar somehow.
"Hello, you must be the popular Kayden Break I've been hearing about. My name is Jellal Fernandez, it's nice to meet you." Jellal greeted.
"Nice to meet ya. I'm Sting. Master of Sabertooth."
"And I'm Rogue."
Kayden didn't even bother to greet them back.
"The twin dragon slayers of Sabertooth, Sting and Rogue. Founder of Crime Sorciere, Jellal Fernandez. Although I usually go after dark guilds, I've always wanted to fight someone of your calibre."
The three looked like they were sweating bullets hearing that.
"It's nice to meet you." Kayden finally greeted and asked. "So why am I called here?"
"They are friends of Fairy tail and I wanted to you guys get to know each other, and maybe have a spar or something." Makarov grinned. "I'll be back later as I have something urgent I must attend, so I hope you get along well."
Makarov left the room leaving them in an awkward silence.
After a few minutes of painfully stretched silence, Sting asked.
"So Kayden, how's your new life as a Fairy tail wizard?"
Kayden just stared at him. He remembered the man from Sabertooth he killed a few days ago.
"You are the Master of Sabertooth. Aren't you angry at me for killing one of you guys?" Kayden asked Sting.
"I am sad that he passed away. But why are you asking me that?" Sting smiled.
"Aren't you angry? Don't you want to get revenge on me for killing him?" Kayden pressed.
"Well, normally we would. But Fairy tail accepted you. There's just no way Fairy tail would accept someone evil. So because they accepted you, there must be some goodness in you, and I accept you as well. Alan was an impulsive guy and you must had your own reasons to fight him. Besides, revenge won't bring the dead back." Sting waved it off like it's nothing but Kayden saw the hurt look in Sting's eyes and it was obviously caused by the recent death of his death.
Rogue too, even though he put on a smile, his eyes tell another story.
"You are forgiving me because I'm one of the Fairy tail wizards?" Kayden looked away, not wanting to see the pain in their eyes.
"Well, before we became friends, me and Sabertooth always looked down on Fairy tail and belittled them. We hurt their members. But they forgave and accepted us." Sting smiled at the memories.
"My future self almost destroyed the world and became unstoppable. It came to the point where they decided that killing me would be the only way to stop my future self. But Natsu stood up for me saying that me and my future self are different people and they shouldn't kill me for something I haven't done yet. He even stopped me from turning into someone like my future self." Rogue smiled.
"My story, I almost killed one of the Fairy tail member and decieved the magic council into destroying the world. I was a wanted criminal who brought only pain. But Fairy tail forgave me like nothing's ever happened. If not for Fairy tail, I would still be wandering around in the dark, not knowing the strength of the bonds we share." Jellal nodded.
"So you see, Fairy tail will surely accept you as one of their family member. I'm happy to see that you are surrounded by such good people." Sting grinned.
As Kayden walked out of Makarov's private office, a smile bloomed on his face.
After many years of pain and loneliness, he has found a family again. It would be a mistake to take them for granted.
He smiled a genuine smile, forgetting about his fear of abandonment.
He couldn't do anything about Kartein.
But Kayden will protect Fairy tail with all he have.
