======================================================

Natsu's P.O.V.

The sun's rays blinded me for a moment that I had to shield my eyes with my hand. Sitting on that vehicle that turns my stomach upside down has its effects. After adjusting to the brightness, I saw a town in the foot of the hill I'm standing on. It was covered with trees but half of the forest was now destroyed and wrecked. The town itself was no exemption.

"Happy...." The little blue exceed turned to face me and gave me a curt nod to move on.

Nodding in turn, I began to make my way to the crumbles of what was known before as one of the best towns here in Fiore. The trail itself was rocky and is filled with debris from rocks or trees nearby. I suppose it was used to be a brick road leading to the town but with the given circumstances, it could hardly be distinguished as a road.

We reached a structure that was, I guess, an arc before that must have served as the town's gate. Sadness and pity washed over me as I passed by crumbled buildings of what used to be the town's source of modernity. Debris,big or small, lay on the pavement. The town itself was in an eerie mode. Everything seems gloomy and downcast. I passed by a park. How did I know? There were swings and slides and monkey bars but,like the rest of the town, it was wrecked,damged beyond repair. I imgined children playing, laughing along with their friends and parents securely looking after their kids as they played. Now,there were no laughter. Just silence. Happy flew beside me,unusually silent. He must also be picturing this place as once a lively and busy town where people would carry on with their peaceful lives.

Our walk was quiet,both of us lost in our own swirling of thoughts. We reached the center of the town where a fountain with a unicorn stood in th middle of wrecked building that formed a circle. No water came out of it.

No water, no life.

We walked farther. Well,technically, I am the only one walking since Happy has wings. A faint disturbance was heared. I stopped abruptly and went to my fighting stance. Another was heared and it seems to be edging closer. A man with messy brown hair,tattered clothes came out from the shadows.

His eyes held fear,his form shaking and I found myself relaxing from my position. "Who are you?" The man asked.

"I'm Natsu Dragneel and this is Happy,  members of Fairytail."

The man's eyes suddenly lit up. A wide grin spread across his features.

"MINNA! FAIRYTAIL IS HERE!"The same man shouted at the fallen infrastructures.

Slowly, shadows of townsfolks shifted and one by one,they slowly emerged from their hiding spot.

Their faces held hope. I felt pure determination inside me-to save these people. They started rejoicing,clapping and smiling. The same man I saw earlier came up to me and I gave a toothy grin.
