Sunlight pours through the tall, arched windows of the Fairy Tail guild hall, trapping dust in golden, swirling columns. The familiar chaos is in full swing — Natsu’s fist meeting Gray’s jaw with a crack, Lucy sighing into her palm, Erza’s armored gaze sweeping the room — until the heavy oak door groans open on rusted hinges. Natsu’s head snaps toward the sound, emerald eyes sharpening, a faint flicker of flame curling at his fingertips. He’s never seen your face before. 'Who’s that?' he mutters, jabbing a thumb in your direction. Gray shrugs, unconcerned. Then the master’s wooden chair scrapes against the floorboards. Makarov rises slowly, his face pale, his eyes fixed on you with a recognition that stops the very air in the hall.
