Cause planning for the end of days is a good way to pass the time.

I sat with Igneel as Laxus and the other adults discussed what to do. Phoenix had taken Bloom back and I looked down at my shaking hands.

"Hey, are you okay?" Igneel asked touching my hand lightly.

"My mom just died and the world is coming to an end so no I'm not fine..." I said looking at him.

"The world is not coming to an end, we'll stop it!" He said determined, but my confidence had broken the second I saw my mother die.

"It's hopeless..." I said getting up and walking away towards the charred guildhall. "What about this guild made it so special, mom? The people? The fighting spirit? What?" I muttered and touched the wall.

I need to know how we can possibly win against Red Moon!

I clenched my fists and looked at the ground.

"Red Moon should have just killed me, not her..."

"If that's the way you feel then maybe I should just leave you all to die." A voice came from above. I looked up and saw three people with dragon wings floating there.

"Willow! Star! Jake!" Natsu said shocked.

"Yeah, we heard about this from Crystal it looks like we were too late..." Willow went to her side and bowed her head.

"Who is she?" I asked confused.

"I guess she never got the chance to tell you about her family. I'm her sister Willow, that's my cousin Star and that's one of Crystal's best friends Jake." Willow explained and I walked towards her.

"How can we stop Red Moon?" I asked needing to know.

"Red Moon has one weakness, Life Magic. If someone here can learn Life Magic then you can take down Red Moon." I looked at my mother's body then Willow.

"I'll do it." Phoenix and I said at the same time.

"Phoenix I'll do it." I said looking at him.

"Yeah if you think I'm letting you get yourself killed then you must be joking." He said harshly and I flinched.

"Who says I'd get myself killed?!" I yelled.

"Alina, you're going to be irrational about this. All you're going to want is revenge for her killing mom, so let me do this!" I glared at him.

"I will not! I want to help my friends! You think I want to live in this messed up world?!" I argued back at him.

"Alina! This isn't something you can do!" I grabbed his wrist.

"Phoenix, I have to. I have to make this right... if I had gotten here faster... then she wouldn't be dead. I have to make this right." I mumbled and he touched both my shoulders.

"Are you sure about this?" I nodded.

"Willow, can you teach me?" She smiled and nodded.

"Yup, you'll have to come to the Dragon Realm, but I think all of you should come. This place isn't good to stay at."

I shivered as I looked around at the destroyed Magnolia.

We'll be back to help you! I promise!

Igneel looked at the sky and then shot a Fire Dragon Roar into the air, it formed into a Fairy Tail Emblem.

"Are you all ready?" Willow asked.

"Yeah."

"Alright, Open Portal to the Dragon Realm!"
