-------------------------------------

*Natsu's POV*

My mind feels as if I had been bashed in the head with a brick, I opened my eyes as only the darkness filled my eyes I lifted my heavy arm, but found that I was in something. Something rough yet smoothed out was above me, it was a rock I tried to turn, but the space was too small. I tried to push the rock off of me, but it was heavy. So I took a deep breath and l used some more might of mine and pushed it up as I threw it to the ground.

I coughed from holding my breath and the sudden dust filling my throat as I looked around. A small light filled the room full of dead flowers and a breeze hit my neck. I then noticed that my scarf was no longer on me. My eyes get adjusted to the light as I smell around, my scarf was encased in some kind of glass.

I took a deep breath, it was probably a prank that Gray and Gajeel are pulling on me, by placing me in some kind of encasing of rock and they are so dead, they locked up my damn scarf. It's my only thing left from Igneel, the damn bastards. I'll get Erza to castrate them later, don't know what that is, but she always use to threaten us with those words.

I calmed myself down as I imagined Erza chasing them with a sword and having them apologizing while holding each other tightly in fear, doing some kind of duck run, or something like that. "Haa..." I sighed in a chuckle.

I took a step back while using my useful skill, breaking things and used my elbow to break the glass, it was tough. I took my elbow and brought it back before giving another swing, only harder as the glass shattered. I carefully reached in and pulled my scarf out, then shook my scarf out before I had put it on.

Igneel's filled my nose, giving myself a reminiscence of the memories that I had with my late father. I look around the room as my body awakens from the power the scarf had given me. It looks to be some kind of tomb, but I'm not dead, I'm alive?

This better not be like those out of body experiences that Lucy wrote about in her story. I sighed as I see other glass screwed into the wall, it was all important things to me, there was even a picture from Reedus who painted the guild together. I smiled as I broke the glass with my elbow and took the picture. Glancing at it for a second, the soft drawing paper in my hand, I took it and folded it, and had put it into my pocket.

I observe the pictures and things around in the glass, these things, they were all so important to others. And then I stopped, a book? Again I break the glass as I opened the book, it was Lucy's first story. I read the first page, there was Lucy's handwriting, it was a letter from the author Lucy...

It read:

Our dearest friend, Natsu, no not our friend, you were family. No matter what you had our backs, but we could never return the favor in time, so my first novel is to you. Well it's more of a biography of everything we've done together. I don't even know why I'm writing this, you'll never read it.

I'm reading this right now Lucy...What the hell?

I guess it's just a blind hope you know? Anyways, you and Levy both wanted to be the first ones who read my novel, though you always joked about it, it meant so much to me, though you'll probably never understand why?
