          It had been 4 hours since the incident with the Twin Dragon Slayers when I reached the familiar city of Magnolia. My jade hues were filled with exhaustion when I heard two girls chatting.

          "I heard that the core members of Fairy Tail have return and caused trouble again," disbelief was written on my face before I took off sprinting to the guild. Jumping over the rocks and nearly tripping on the gravel walkway, I slammed open the doors. In front of me, everyone was tired, like they just fought a battle, but glanced towards at the door. Warm tears pricked my eyes when I lunged into Gray, who was not paying attention.

          "Gray!" I cried out and held him tighter. Gray was like an older brother in a way. He chuckled before rubbing my back.

          "Hey there Toni," sobs filled the room with everyone's laughter. My namaka was finally home and we can finally be together again.

           As soon as I calmed down, Gray muttered reassuring words, I smiled gently. Knowing and believing they wouldn't disappeared, and released Gray from my tight grip and sat on the wooden floor.

          "So how are you?" Gray interrogated. Just as I was about to reply, the world around me tilted. It was like I was riding train. As my vision continued to blur and grow worse, the sweet taste of ice water entered my mouth and into my system. I gasped and panted as my vision began to return to normal. In front of my was a worried Gray, concerned Mira and Erza and a frowning Natsu and Gajeel. In Natsu's right hand was the cup of saving ice water.

          "Before you do anything else Antonio, eat something and have a glass of water. A BIG glass of water you brat," Gajeel ordered. I nodded, knowing to just followed his orders so we don't end up fighting and slowly stood up. I think after this, a nap is in order. Taking a seat on the wooden stool, with the help of Levy, Laki began to cook up a grilled cheese sandwich with a small bowl of homemade tomato soup along with a big glass of ice cold water. Gray sat on my right while Levy sat on my left. Sensing my exhaustion, Levy rubbed small circles on my back.

          "How have you been since we disappeared brat?" Gajeel asked roughly. I forced a weak smile and Romeo suddenly appeared behind Gajeel and growled. Romeo began to get his magic powered up when I intervened.

          "Romeo, it was an innocent question. He doesn't understand everything alright?" Romeo still continued to glare at Gajeel but canceled his magic. Before Levy or Gray could speak about Romeo's strange behavior, Gramps firm voice sounded.

          "I have received a letter today, address to Romeo's father, that is payment orders from many high class people and thank you letters from the Magic Council," my body went rigid as I realized what those were. Panic entered my mind for the 2nd time today when Gramps continued.

          "The first letter says "Thank you so much Water Mage. Your protecting nature and sacrificing personality not only saved my children but saved our village from the dark evil monster. So please accept this check of 10,000,000 Jewel from our village as our thank you gift." Can anyone tell me who this "Water Mage" is?" Gramps finished, a hint of anger in his voice. He must be wondering if there was a new mage or outside help. Laki and Romeo glanced at me in concern when Jet decided to spill everything.

          "All of those letters and thank you gifts are for Antonio." que everyone staring at me expect Romeo, Laki and Jet. Then Jet continued.

           "Antonio fought all 7 years you guys been gone. Earning money and trying to keep the guild together. His most dangerous mission was one around-"

          "Jet," Romeo spoke lowly and in a dangerous tone. My eyes were casted on the wooden countertop, fear entering my body. Laki placed my food in front of me, careful not to frighten me, when Gramps began to interrogate me,

         "Antonio my son. Tell me what Jet was going to say," everyone stared at me. Slowly, feeling the room's unspoken pressure, trembling tears arose in my eyes.

          "Tony?" Levy questioned when my trembling lips spoke. THe dark memories flashing through my mind.

           "Th...That miss...mission is not one..to..to be spoken aloud," I stuttered quickly and slowly picked up the spoon. Laki stared at me concerned when Erza ordered in a demanding tone.

           "Antonio Northgate!" I flinched, to which Gajeel, Levy, Gray, Wendy and Natsu certainly noticed. "Answer the Master's question," as she stepped towards me, my magic power surged and the water in all the cups around the guild began to levitate.

          "What?" Gray spoke when Levy began to whisper calming things into my ear. I guess even after 7 years away from Erza, my fear of her stayed.

          "Erza, it's alright. Antonio is obviously shaken up because of it," Gramps spoke and Erza stopped. I sighed when Mirajane intervened.

          "How about we celebrate Antonio's return along with our own?" many people, mostly older men, cheered loudly and I smiled. Knowing that the pressure was off of me for now.
