The Dragon's Light

REST

"The flower only works if the sky is dark" Natsu answers, staring at his sleeping wife.
"I see... I'm so glad... Thank you, Mr. Natsu" he cried, a smile on his face.

"It's no trouble" Natsu stated in his low, stern voice. "You should rest first mr. Natsu" Kayden suggests, wiping his tears. "I'm sorry, but I have to go back" he sadly declined.

"I see... then for the reward" Kayden smiles, Natsu nodding.

"It's a shame I can't even take care of the people who healed my wife..." Kayden sighs disappointment. "Mr. Natsu, thank you so much... I can't express my gratitude but I just want you to know I and my family thank you two from the bottom of our hearts" he bowed his head.

"No problem... Then we'll go now" Natsu smiled, Kayden looking up as he gives a bitter smile. Seeing his heroes leave, he couldn't help but feel sad. "His eyes looked so dead... I couldn't tell if he really was smiling... Take care you two..."

"Should we be really taking this thing?" Natsu groans in complaint. "You have to rest" Happy huffs. "I already..." Natsu's voice trailed.

Before he knew it, his consciousness have gone dark. The train moving, Happy also sleeps on his friend's arms.

---

"Natsu, wake up" Happy repeatedly shakes, Natsu groaning as he drowsily opens his eyes. "We're already here" Happy exclaims, Natsu standing up his seat. Finally out the train, the duo was greeted by the cool warm gush of wind and the warm sunshine.

"It's Magnolia's scent" Natsu sniffs. "I'm all refreshed now. Let's go have breakfast Happy" Natsu grinned, Happy beaming.
"Let's go to the usual!!" Happy perks up.

"Sure buddy" Natsu lowly chuckles.

---

Entering, the duo was greeted by familiar faces. "Natsu? Happy??" Gray points out. Erza, Wendy and Carla turning around. "Carla!!" Happy flies towards their friend's table.

"You're having breakfast... here??" Natsu asks, raising an eyebrow. "Well Erza's favorite cake shop is still closed so she insisted on coming here" Gray shrugs.

"Yummy..." Erza grinned, nibbling on her beloved slice of strawberry cake. "Hm..." Natsu puts his bag beside Gray as he walks towards the counter.

-

Coming back with his orders, Natsu sat beside Gray, gulping down on his meal. "We couldn't find you in your house yesterday night, did you guys go somewhere?" Gray asks, sipping on his juice.

"Meeshon" Natsu answered, food on his mouth. "Mhm..." Gray went back to drinking his juice. "Yum" Erza grinned, eating her fourth slice of cake.

-

"Ah I'm stuffed..." Natsu says in satisfaction. "That was delicious.." Gray says after him. "Let's go back then everybody" Wendy smiles, the gang going back to their guild.

---

The doors opening, they were greeted by few words of welcome. Few people are here due to it's still early. Sitting on one of the tables, Gray and Erza went straight to the bulletin board.

"By the way, where's gramps?" Natsu asks, looking around. "He went on a meeting early this morning. He said he'll be back in a week" Wendy answers.

"Man, that's tough" Natsu stretches, Wendy giggling. "Don't worry, he's our master after all" she grinned, Natsu patting her head.

"Carla, want fish?". "No thanks, I'm full". "Why??". "Uhm, we ate just like, a while ago?"
