Finding Out

It was a bright and sunny day in Magnolia, everything peaceful and quiet. One would say too quiet if the person that knows anything about Magnolia is that it was never quiet. With living in the town that is home to the most powerful Guild in Fiore. And the Guild is known for being rowdy, loud always having parties. But for some reason, the Guild was deadly silent.

At the Guild, everyone was surrounding a team that just returned from one of their missions. This group was sitting at one of the tables in the center of the build. A scarlet haired woman was eating a piece of cake while glaring at the shirtless Mage in front of her who was covered in burns. That said Mage was glaring daggers at the pinkette who was rubbing his head that was coming from a major migraine at the moment as the blue-haired fourteen-year-old was trying to help him by using her magic.

When they had first stepped through the door that day everyone got worried when they saw Team Natsu looked like they been to hell and back. Ezra's hair was in tangle's and had green goo smeared all in it, along with a few burns covering her clothes and body. While Wendy looked to be exhausted with dark bags under her eyes as Carla hovered over her with a worried look. Natsu looked a bit out of it while having multiple cuts and bruises on along his body.

But the one was covered in the most wounds was their Ice Mage seeing as he had burns all along his arms and back. The said mage remained quiet when the guild rushed towards them and started asking what had happened. When this happened Erza was the one that explained to them what happened.

 After they heard what happened, the whole guild went into an uproar until they were silenced by Mira, glaring coldly at them while yelling out that if they didn't quiet down they'll regret it. So now everyone is just huddled around the table waiting for them to get enough rest to answer some questions.

It was then that Natsu seemed to snap back into the real world, looking around confusedly at the Guild. After blinking a couple of times Natsu mumbled"We're... We're at the Guild...? I... I thought we were on a mission..." This grabbed the everyone's attention. Everyone watched as Natsu dazedly looked around the room. Only to snap their attention towards Gray when they heard him growl" You're kidding me right?" Natsu sent a glare towards the Ice-Make Mage as he snapped" Does it look  I am Ice Princess?" Gray sent a glare right back.

After minutes of them glaring at each other Gray did something unexpected. Instead of escalating things further, he spat out" You know what? you're not worth the trouble."Pushing his chair away from the table, making the chair scrape across the floor in the process. Grey stood and started to make his way out to the exist leaving stunned Guildmates behind that watched him disappear from sight...

Natsu only stared wide-eyed at the spot where Gray was sitting shocked that the mage didn't call him a name or did anything at all. He couldn't understand what was going on the last thing he remembered was getting ready for the mission, to the forest of a thousand monsters. The flyer had said that they needed help with getting a rare mushroom, for a special potion that the employer was needing to make.

 It had also mentioned that in the town there was a blonde headed girl heading into the forest along with a few companions with black, pink, blonde, and silvered hair. They had gone into the forest a week before the flyer was sent out and haven't been seen since. 

But the events that happened after those details were a bit of a blur to him. When Natsu tried to think of what happened after entering the forest, but the only thing that came to his mind was a sense of bliss mixed with sadness... For some reason, it felt like his heart had been ripped apart into pieces, mixed with the feeling of burning anger that made him feel like his body was on fire.
