The Dragon's Light

CHANGES

Sobs and wails were everywhere. It was a rainy night, sounds of rain crashing along with the wind. Some of them left in agony, Mirajane and Elfman hugging each other, wailing in each other's arms.

"Lisanna Strauss was a part of our guild, Fairy Tail. A comrade, a sister, a daughter and a family. It was not in our thinking that this day will come so suddenly, and we must face the truth no matter what. Lisanna, life with you was the best moments in our lives. We love you, and will always do. May you rest in peace" Makarov exclaimed.

Tears streaming down everyone's faces, Natsu quietly left the funeral. His bangs covering his crying eyes, he sobbed his way back to his and Happy's house.

* A WEEK LATER *

It was a bright, peaceful day at Magnolia. The chirping birds, rays of warm sunshine and the sounds of people crashing in the streets.

"Natsu, should we have this?" Happy asks, showing his friend the flyer he got from the bulletin board. "Sure" Natsu answered in his low voice. Gulping down his drink, he took the flyer from his friend's fuzzy little paws.

"Mhm.... Too low... Find another one with a higher price.." he groans, Happy taking the flyer back. "Really? Then I'll take the other one" he exclaims, flying back to the bulletin board.

Coming back, he showed his friend the flyer once again. "Let's go" Natsu states, standing up from his seat. "Aye sir!" Happy beamed. Quietly going outside the guild, they went on to their awaited mission.

"Damn...it..." Natsu cursed, covering his mouth as he tries to regain his senses. "Natsu... the train just started" Happy sighs. "Shut up..." he cursed. The cool wind gushing through his pale skin.

Hours passed by the speed of wind. "Dear passengers, we now have-" the voice exclaims, alarming the seated citizens. "Fina...lly... urk..." Natsu groans. "Just a bit more Natsu..." Happy comforts.

Minutes of adjusting, the train finally stopped and Natsu was the very first one to get off, leaving the sighing Happy. "Land, Oh how I missed you..." Natsu groaned, going to a nearby vacant space.

"Natsu, are you alright??" Happy flies towards his sickened friend. "I'm fine... Let's get going...." Natsu groaned, turning around to go meet their client.

"We can rest first" Happy says worriedly. "It's fine... Let's go" Natsu re-adjusted his scarf. Walking, the duo went to their client's house.

"We're here" Happy exclaims, Natsu nodding. "From Fairy Tail I assume?" a man asks, as the duo focus their attention north. "Yes sir" Natsu answers, the man smiling.

"Welcome, please." he motions his guards to open the gates, gesturing the duo to enter the mansion. Looking around, Natsu and Happy were distracting by their client's chuckle.

"I am so happy and delighted for you to come. And about the job, please, let's talk about this further inside" the man smiled, opening the door, revealing a well made and amazing guest's lounge.

"My daughters will be here shortly. Please, have a seat"
