Remembrance of a Sharp Past
Erza Scarlet, S-Class Mage of, and fabled Titania, was currently walking through the city of , the capital of the Magic Council. She had just finished a rather simple mission that caused great irritation within her. Apparently, there had been a battle between the Vulcans and Lizardmen within the area around the capital and both factions of creatures were endangering the lives of the people with the capital. Erza was specifically request regarding this job, due to her recent show of skill during the Grand Magic Games, especially her incredible feat of defeating 100 monster single-handedly.

However, judging by her facial expression, Erza seemed incredibly displeased about having to be within the town. "This was a great waste of time that I could have been using for more important things" Erza lamented to herself as she walked along the stone path, maneuvering her way around people and stands. Being within Era brought some bad memories, especially concerning the Magic Council. Erza's eyes soften as she remember a fond memory regarding the town; when her pink-haired comrade came in and tried to save her from a trail, despite all of it being a farce. She could still see him wearing that hilarious costume and his attempt to get the council to believe that he was her.

Erza stopped in the middle of the street and looked up at the sky. "Natsu.... I hope that where you are, that you are safe and that Lucy has come close to or has found you. So you can come home to us." Erza whispered, as she could feel tears swell up in her eyes. She shook her head, shaking the tears away. She was becoming too emotional within a public area and it certainly wouldn't look good for Fairy Tail, if one of their S-Class Mages suddenly burst into tears in the middle of a street for no apparent reason. Erza continued down the street looking for a bakery, hopping to purchase some cake to calm her nerves.
