The Fairy Tail Guild, which was located in the city of Magnolia, was quiet and peaceful. Many participants have gone to advanced training to announce and promote the magician to S-rank. Macao and Wakaba, best friends and partners, men in their forties, were sitting in a bar, counting something and writing it down in a notebook.

- So many people are betting on Kana's victory? Wakaba asked, returning the money that the guild members had bet.

"Kana is ahead of Gray by three votes, and Natsu by one," Macau replied, recording another vote for the girl, putting Max's name against.

The other man nodded, putting the money in a cardboard box, on which he wrote with a magic marker: "Tenryu tests." At such moments, more and more adults understand the magic of what it's like when the younger generation is absent. No fights, no drunkenness, no disputes between the teams who will take on the task and how the reward will be distributed. It seems that such silence should have pleased many, but for this guild, silence meant not the most pleasant. The grown men began to discuss something quietly. Besides them, there were only them in the lobby, young Romeo, who was reading a book about fire magic, two beautiful ladies, Lucky and Keenan, who work at the bar, and several minor participants.

The doors opened in the guild and Max and Warren appeared, laughing loudly and discussing the task that had just been completed.

- You're back early! Kinana greeted them.

- Max gave out such a sand extravaganza for the task, we also had to clear the territory of sand, - Warren mumbled, approaching the bar with a friend and handing the girls the crystals received for the task.

Olietta, to whom Mira told how and what to do with the jewels from the completed task, took out a notebook and began to recalculate the reward in order to set aside ten percent of the guild.

However, in the guild everything went the same as before, although many of its members were not in the guild, mentally everyone knew that they were close, despite the huge distance.

"I'm sorry," Mest Grider bowed his head, afraid to look up to look at the remaining guild members.

- We didn't give up on your apologies! Macao hissed angrily.

- Get the whole council to hell out of our guild territory! Wakaba continued after his friend.

Romeo was sitting behind his father and crying. Although, everyone in the guild had wet eyes at this moment, they restrained their emotions so as not to scream at the top of their voices.The members of the council sighed sadly as they left the guild territory. Jet closed his eyes, sighed and headed out of the guild, closing the door behind him. Romeo screamed at this moment, holding onto his father's cloak. Macao himself could not hold his emotions and fell to his knees, hugging his son.

The council brought the news that the island of Tenryu was destroyed by Acnology, and with it all the people who were on the island, until the creaking of the door opening and a slight cough were heard.

***

At this moment, everyone on Tenryu Island was lying as if frozen. They did not move, only the measured beating of the heart and infrequent breathing was a sign of the life of these people, but there is always one thing. One of them was awake, he was sitting on the sand, away from everyone, looking at the translucent dome. Natsu Dragneel clenched his hands into a fist and growled loudly, sending a large pillar of fire into the sphere. Even after that loud sound, there was the same silence on the island, as if there was nothing alive.

- It won't help, - the voice of a young girl sounded.

- I've already been lying in the same stupor for five years and stay here like this for two years!? Natsu asked furiously, turning to the girl.
