Final Series X War of Gods (Book 1C)

4. The Spriggan 12

Sora P.O.V

After exiting the internal void of my Space Bridge, I have arrived. Instead of teleporting straight to the front door of the guildhall, I teleported outside and overlooking Magnolia from a high-up hill.

The streets are bustling as always crowded with people doing their morning routines, groceries leaving the stores in bags and bright smiles displayed on their faces.

"Magnolia, the home of the notorious guild of troublemakers and the Strongest Guild in Fiore, Fairy Tail~" I placed two fingers of my right hand on the right-side of my neck reminescing the time I joined and received their guildmark.

"Sis... I'm home~" I mumbled softly, with a tear streaming down my cheek.

Erza P.O.V

While I was peacefully eating my Strawberry Shortcake with Natsu and the others in the guildhall, something suddenly felt weird.

Ting~ A soft and calming bell rang in my mind, pausing me of eating my cake, 'I'm home~' A voice said.

"Er-Erza..." Wendy calls me, to the point that I realized that she even went far as to shaking me out from space.

"...Huh...?" I answered.

"Erza, are you alright?" Lucy worriedly asked me, "...You suddenly stopped eating your cake... and it's weird..."

"I-I..." Since it was sudden, I rest my forehead on my hand, on the table, "I... heard a voice..."

"What voice, Erza?" Natsu asks irritated, staring at me.

"The voice... said <I'm home~>" I stared exhausted at everyone seated near me.

"Well, I think you need to go home and rest again, Erza..." Carla, who's standing on the table suddenly suggested me, "...Even though it's just like... 10 in the morning..."

'Whose voice was that? Did no one else heard it...?'

"Hold on..." Sniff sniff... Natsu's nostrils expands opens like a bloodhound, "...This smell~ Hehe, HE'S HERE~~!"

The guildhall immediately became silent, staring at Natsu who's now cheering on the table.

"SHUT UP WILL YA!" Master interjects in a frustrated manner, "...I'M TRYIN' TO TAKE A NAP!!!"

"Gramps, you'll not believe whose scent I just caught~" Natsu smirks widely with his eyes sharpened, and his teeth exposed. Everybody remained silent irritated to Natsu's sudden outburst until he yells out the identity of the unknown's scent, "...HARU'S HERE~!!!"

Sora P.O.V

"...HARU'S HERE~!!!" A familiar voice resonates aloud, echoing everywhere.

'...I can hear your voice from up here, Natsu~' A smooth breeze of wind lightly blows at me with my waist cape following the flow, '...Please prove to me that I'm wrong about you...' A hand is placed on the shell of the armoured tome behind my waist.

ZWOOP... I teleport again, this time in front of the guildhall. At first glance, it looks as though it came out from some children's stories. Everything from the floor up, is entirely made of wood. At least the doors are closed. Plus, it is smaller than the last year's version.

Step step step... I walked near to the closed doors, *Inhale~*

*Exhale~*

*...Touch...* I place my armoured hands on the doors, '...It's time...'
