"Natsu!! Happy!! Where are you? Ow-," Lucy exclaimed aloud as she slowly turned around in a circle, wincing from performing the action. She was trying to find her companions. Where in the world was she? Wasn't she just with the others trying to stop the demons from Zeref's book? What also happened to Gajeel, Levy, Juvia, and Gray? Things were confusing, wait, maybe... this was just a dream? No, if this were a dream, she wouldn't be feeling the ground under her booted-feet. This is real. But how did she get here, in this forest?

Knowing all too well that it was futile to even be yelling out her guildmate's names, the celestial mage decided that it was best to try and find someplace where she would be able to find shelter rather than being out and prone to being attacked by whatever was out in this area. Releasing a sigh, she slowly walked- or limped (due to her injuries) along in a random direction, hoping she'd soon meet some other friendly person. She also hoped that if she came across another human, they'd have bandages to cover up the scratches on her face, arms, and legs.
