Johnny hadn’t been the same since the destruction of his guild, all forty of his friends dead and him the only survivor. He was the only one left because he was out getting his pay from his most recent job.

The Sierra guild, casino, and resort, the place where one could begin again so matter what. The place that spoke of love, life, family and more for all who entered, stayed and joined. It was so long ago yet it seemed so recent in his memory. Now Johnny walked the streets unsure of his path despite that he hunted for those who slew his guild. He suddenly remembered the fairy tail guild, a guild just starting when he joined the Sierra guild. He tried to remember the current grand master of fairy tail as Johnny had met him after his guild's destruction.

He soon found himself at the fairy tail guild’s doors he hesitated but he had no choice if he wanted to find those responsible. He soon entered the place being as lively as usual. Johnny placed a hand over where his heart and guild mark was. He slowly took steps, suddenly recognizing Natsu one of the more famous wizards of fairy tail and what appeared to be a new member that was getting her mark. He cleared his throat

“excuse me Natsu? Is your guild master in? there is a matter I wish to discuss with him.” Johnny seemed unsure despite his intimidating appearance. This felt wrong to him on so many levels. There was no way he could join this guild but he was without a home and without hope.

His eyes darkened and the temperature in the air started dropping suddenly as more memories came to him.

He recalled those days with his friends the oaths of brotherhood and fairness they had once shared. Johnny was stuck in the past he hadn't been living or moving for years. all he cared about was finding those who destroyed his friends. He felt lost, adrift on the sea of life and it felt like no body knew it but him.

Ever wanted something so bad that you’d do anything for it? Well that was Lucy’s experience when she wanted to join Fairy Tail. In fact that drive, that intense desire to join the guild led her into a problem situation where she was kidnapped, and pulled onto a ship destined to have her be sold as slaves with other women. And the ring-leader was a man known as ‘Salamander’ but it wasn’t thee Salamander she wanted to know.

After a lot of craziness it turns out the person who came to save her was thee Salamander and agreed to take her to join the guild with his flying partner, not cat, Happy.

A smile danced across the blonde’s full lips as her hazel eye twinkled. “I’m here, I’m here, I’m here!” The blonde exclaimed as the door opened, however what she wasn’t expecting was the sudden brawl that brown out when Natsu made himself known upon his return. The brawl had her nearly crawling to the bar in a sad attempted to not get knocked off the face of the planet. It was there that she was met by the Fairy Tail media representative Mirajane who kindly spoke to her.

It wasn’t long before the two girls began to chat and Lucy was filled in on what life was like at a guild; which included brawls were a standard thing to have happen. In the final discussion, Lucy filled out the paperwork and received her pink guild stamp on her hand. “Hurrah!” The blonde jumped up and down. “Natsu, Natsu look I’m official! Mirajane put the stamp on my hand and everything!”

“Yeah yeah that’s great Looney…”

“It’s Lucy!”

“Whatever.” The pink haired guy said rubbing the back of his head with a grunt before he heard his name again. This time when he turned around he saw a tall long white haired man standing near him. He tilted his head to one side. “Oh you need to see Gramps? He should be down here soon…” Before Natsu could jump back into the brawl a large figure screamed at them.

It wasn’t long before the Master calmed down the guild and everything went back to its merriment and Lucy introduced herself to him. “And this gentleman was looking to speak to you as well.” Lucy stated gesturing to the white haired man before Natsu could, simply because Natsu was gone to the job board to look at availability.
