Y/n Pov

We all waved at my family as we wanted to go search for Anna. We will go back to them as my mother had asked us to stay for dinner. We do not have enough beds but there was an Inn they could sleep at with a bathhouse. From what Irene said she had to live here in this village. "So where does she live?" I asked and Irene pointed down to the street to a home not larger then the others. "She's living right there." She stated and we walked down the path between the old apple trees I used to climb up as a child.

"Why did she move out here in the middle of nowhere?" I asked and Irene shrugged. "I don't know you'd have to ask her." She replied keeping her eyes on the house in silence. "I can answer it, she's the teacher of this village, Lucy and her are related." Erza chimed in and I jumped up a little from the surprise. "Really, I never thought about Lucy having someone with a past like that." I said and she just crossed her arms nodding.

 We stopped at the home of the person Irene wanted to meet and she just walked up to it. Irene knocked on the door and waited a moment. "Is she even at home." Cana asked and Irene nodded.

I heard the faint sound of steps from where I was and surely the door opened revealing a middle aged woman with some light wrinkles. "How can I help you?" She asked and looked right at Irene in wonder. "Is that how you welcome an old friend?" She replied and Anna's eyes went wide. "Irene is that you?" She asked in shock walking up to her and a proud smile formed on Irene. "It is me the queen of Dragons." She stated and Anna just made a small bow. "Its so good to see you, the last I've heard of you I thought you'd die." She replied and Irene just shook her head. "I had my reason to cling onto life and she's right there." She replied and pulled Erza to herself. "So you were?" Anna asked but was stopped by a slow nod from Irene as her face changed to a more somber one.

"Please everyone come to the back of my home. I got some room to sit for you. So you can tell me in peace what you want from me." She replied and motioned with her hand to the side.

Irene Pov

A sea of flowers spread in front of me. From Alcea to Zinnia, she had them all perfectly cultivated into the blossoming beauty they were. "Irene are you here?" I got snapped out of my thoughts by Anna snapping her fingers in front of me. "I was just amazed by your flowers, I didn't know you were into gardening so much." I replied and she just let out a light chuckle. "I may have been the head researcher about Dragons and dragon slayers but I always had time to see how you tended your own garden of flowers before the war had broken out." She replied and placed a cup of tea in front of me. "So what gives me the honor of meeting the Fairy Tail guilds strongest mages?" She asked and I moved the cup down again. 

"A few days ago we had been tasked to look into something under the main capital of Fiore and found out one of the dragon slayers is still alive, I'm certain by now she's turned into a dragon as well like I." I stated and Anna looked curious at me. "And since I'm the head researcher of everything doing with dragons you think I'm still keeping up with something from 400 years ago?" She asked and her lips had that smugness on them. "Considering you have accompanied the dragon slayers through the portal the time you spend in this timeline should be less then you had in the past, what are you, around your late 40's?, its been 10 years of the eclipse gates activation and I know you well enough to know you'd never abandon your work." I stated and she kept a stern gaze. "So I ask you to help us find the dragon slayer named Diana in your notes and anything regarding sightings of a white dragon in the last 400 years, to be exact the last 20 years." I added and she pressed her lips firmly together. 

"What do I get out of this if I help you Irene." She asked and kept her face sternly looking at me. I tapped my chin lightly. "Well we could help you on something other, I'm sure a village like this does have some issues it faces." I replied and she let out a long sigh. "Well I was about to ask if I could spend some time alone with that handsome bearded man, he seems my age so why not. But since you proposed to help me with something I guess we could be even." She replied and I smirked in victory.

"I did find some pieces about a dragon sighting in the far kingdom of Japan but those news are old. One was 400 years ago mentioned in one of the tales of a dead Japanese warlord and the other was more recent when a farmer saw a shadow fly in the sky saying it was a dragon about 20 years or so." She stated and I placed both my hands in front of my mouth pressing them together forming a fist. "That's strange first we meet a princess from the kingdom of japan and now we hear that Y/n's dragon could be there. Something is not right with this and I think someone could have done it on purpose to lead us there." I replied and everyone of the group looked at me for answers. "What?" I asked surprised about it.

"Oh we were just a little shocked about your explanation of it." Gildarts stated and I kept looking at him for a moment. "Well I've seen some really strange things happening in my time so more often then not the least expecting was what I ended up with." I stated and my daughter tipped with her fingers on the table. "Now that we have the answer of where we need to go we should talk about paying it back, what do you want us to do Anna." She asked calmly. "A yes of course let me show you its not far." She replied smiling and stood up.

. . .

Anna motioned down to a large field with a wide smile and we all looked down in utter shock to what we saw. "What you want us to fight against giant bullfrogs?" I asked and I heard a light rattling behind me. I peered over to see my daughter shake in her armor. Something I've never seen. "Erza is something wrong." Y/n asked and she made a quick nod. "No, just had a bad fight against such frogs in the past but I'l leave this to you guys." She replied and gripped her sword tightly. Gildarts stepped in front of me. "I'm having a bad feeling about this. Why didn't the village get rid of them." He asked and Anna sweat dropped. "We don't have weapons, we usually just placed some scarecrows around the fields so they wont jump in." She replied and Gildarts let out a sigh. 

Cana walked right beside me. "Lets go Irene, we two will deal with this no problem if the others don't want then we do." She said and I looked at her. She smiled eager to fight. I bit my lip lightly and nodded.

We walked down towards the frogs and they stared at us with their big ugly eyes. "Is is just me or why do all my senses ring to run." I whispered and she looked to me surprised. "No idea, these monsters just seem harmless to me." She stated and pulled out her cards. I activated my magic and right before I jumped I felt something wrap around me and Cana as well. The two of us let out a shriek as a large sticky tongue wrapped around us and we were pulled separate by the two frogs.

. . .

3rd Pov

The group watched in shock as Irene and Cana were pulled into the frogs mouths right until their hips. "Irene, Cana!" Gildarts and Y/n yelled before darting forwards to aid the two mages who were in trouble. "Ice dragons hammer!" Y/n yelled and hit the frogs stomach which knocked him out making him spit Cana out immediately who was covered in frog mucus from head to toe. 

Gildarts reeled his fist back. "Mizuwary." He shouted punching the frog. Upon impact the ground cracked and the frog was cut into tiny versions of itself while at the same time dropping Irene towards the ground who fell on Gildarts. She threw her hands in front trying to get it off. "Eww this is so gross." She whined trying to wipe it off  and Gildarts just laughed in amusement. He looked over at Cana who was looking at her hands. "Oh god this stuff smells really bad." She cried out and Y/n chuckled. He grabbed her by the shoulders. "Come on lets go and get you cleaned up, I'll ask my parents if the two of you can take a bath." He stated and then moved his hand through the grass. She smiled shamefaced. 

The group quickly made their way down to the village and Irene glared at Anna. "At least you could have told us those frogs like to attack us with their tongues and eat us." She stated and Anna let out an awkward laugh. "I could have but where was the fun in that, I too got myself into the same situation once." She stated and Irene just huffed. "I'll leave you now, go and take a bath I'm sure you need it." Anna added and the two unlucky wizards just grumbled.

Y/n Pov

I knocked on the door waiting for a moment. I made one glance to Cana and Irene who covered themselves in shame. Quick footsteps came closer to the door and it opened revealing my little sister. "Big brother." She yelled and hugged me tightly. Her eyes trailed over to our poor mages. "What happened to them?" She asked tilting her head to the side. "They got almost swallowed by frogs." I replied and she let out a cute giggle. I looked down at her placing my hands on her shoulders. "Can they use the bath?" I asked and she nodded. "Sure and you better not be peeping on them, same goes for the other two." She yelled and glared at them lightly.

I shook my head. "Not every guy is gonna be peeping on you, I got no idea where you even got that from." I replied and she puffed her cheeks. I walked inside and motioned past the stairs. The bath is right behind there at the right." I stated and both silently walked past me. 

I walked down to the back of the garden with the rest following me. "Miku, do we have enough room for Cana too to sleep in my room." I asked and she grimaced. "Eww you sleep together already, you aren't even married." She yelled and my face flushed dark red. My heart rate quickened and I began to sweat. "No I didn't mean it that way, we just shared a bed a few times and kissed." I stated and she kept staring at me. "Pervert." She muttered and I dropped my head in defeat. "Your sister really doesn't seem to understand what it means to be an adult does she?" Gildarts asked and I leaned against the  wooden pillar of the veranda.

Miku, my little sister. She always was more of a silent, shy girl that didn't want to stand in the middle of attention which is why she will be a very good wife to one of the village men and be loyal. I wonder if my father and mother already talked with another about their son marrying my sister. "She doesn't Gildarts, but she knows whats important to be happy, here in this village we are free from any state rule, the only laws are the ones every person here knows which are the family is the most important and you must cherish your husband or wife to the fullest each day and live a life of no regrets." I stated and he raised his eyebrow curiously. "A life of no regrets how can I understand that?" He asked and I looked down the field my family grows their crops on. "Your first person you have a romantic relationship with is the person you marry. I don't know whats with me and Cana yet, I do like her a lot. She's not aggressive but also not silent like many others are. I mean Erza would be pretty much a dream girl to have for my mother as daughter in law." I stated and Gildarts chuckled lightly.  

"I understand what you mean, Cana's mother was also not very meek but over time she became exactly that, she did have her moments where she wasn't having it. I was a fool to leave her and now I regret not raising Cana but I know your mother will like Cana when she knows her more, she has it in her to be the perfect daughter in law." He stated and I turned to him. His words made me confused. Was he allowing me to date her with those words. "Are you saying you agree with Cana having me as her possible boyfriend?" I asked and he gave me a forceful pat on the back. "Take it as you want but if you hurt her you'll be blown to pieces." He stated and gave me a firm glare. I shuddered at the fought of it and quickly nodded.

Cana Pov

I threw a bucket of hot water over my head and stared right at Irene with her perfect hourglass figure narrow waist, wide child bearing hips which looked like a dream for any man to lay their hands on them and velvety smooth scarlet hair. Her pale skin was the opposite to my more tanned one. The only thing she has as a mark on her body is a single slash on her abdomen that I didn't know how she got it in the first place. 

I washed off all of the slime and stood up walking over to the stone bathtub. Who would have thought people out in nowhere had huge bathtubs that held more then 2 people. 

I couldn't stop thinking about what had happened the past days and I only realized now how mysterious Y/n's past actually is to me. He knows nothing of his past or real parents and we only passed the top page of a thousand sided book. I lowered myself down slowly right in front of Irene who gazed at me calmly before her eyes traveled towards the exceeds. 

I was a little envious of her for having such a great figure. I never really bothered about how others looked until I met Y/n and now I can't stand it when other girls look at him, I clenched my hand tightly. I don't want to lose this time. "Something wrong Cana, you don't seem to be like usual?" Irene asked and I stared at her wide eyed. 

She had a small tiny smile on her. Her eyes looked directly into mine. "I can tell you are troubled about something." She added and moved closer to me. "Do you perhaps want to talk about it?" She asked and I shook my head denying it. "No its really nothing important, just lately I have this feeling that I don't want any other girl to be close to Y/n. You are different, even tough you look as young as me you are more like a mother to us then someone who would take him away. I can't tell why but I want them to not even look at him." I replied and she hummed lightly. "You probably think I'm insane, right." I scoffed and looked down disappointed at myself for even thinking like that. 

"Not at all." She whispered and I looked back up letting out a surprised hum. She grabbed my right hand gently. "Its perfectly normal to be possessive of a person you like, it being a friend, someone you consider like your child, a family member or even someone you love. Even I have that special someone who I want for myself." She stated and her cheeks had a pink hue on them. Does she have a crush on someone too? My father and her are pretty close.

"Well I like Y/n and without him I'd never be here. More then likely I would be laying around drunk at some tavern or the guild." I said and she nodded lightly. "Do you like this more, to be with us on an adventure instead of drinking constantly?" She asked calmly and let go of my hand again.

Everything about her was making me feel at ease like I could just tell her everything of my heart. It was the first time since a while that I felt content. I always liked to go on jobs with them no mater what happened I could trust them blindly. "I guess so, its the first time I actually went on several jobs with the same team and didn't feel like I would be useless due to my magic." I replied and Irene kept looking at me to listen. "So yeah it is better." I added smiling lightly and she too had a tiny smile on her.

"Its nice to know you too feel the same way like I do." She stated and leaned back on the bath looking up at the ceiling. "That scar how did you get it." I asked and she gazed at me directly her pupils went narrow and her face turned a little pale. "My scar." She whispered and I could notice under the water her left hand trailed it down the full length. "Its. . . Very personal. I got this scar because I wanted to protect the only thing I had left in my life. My own daughter who was almost killed by her father. I turned into a dragon and suffered for 400 years until I could welcome her into this world. I knew I had to give her away if I wanted her to survive. I was broken and lost much like Diana probably when she had Y/n. Who knows maybe she raised him and I had failed." She stated and her eyes started to water.

. . .

The smell of Lilac and Gooseberries filled the air are and the two of us walked out from the bathroom. In the middle of our bath Miku came inside and handed us two swing dresses with a snug waist line to wear while she cleaned our clothes. This bath was really what the two of us needed right now and we let out a content sigh. I looked down to mine and it was a pinkish one while Irene had a blue dress. She began to sniff the air. "Is it just me or does it smell tasty." Irene blurted out and I swear she was drooling lightly. I chuckled. "Now that you mention it I think I can smell meat." I said and Irene walked out towards the back with her nose up in the air. 

I let out a gasp when I saw what they had prepared. The backyard was lit with lanterns and a large table to sit and eat at for at least a dozen people. The meat was cooking on a grill and both Y/n and his father were looking at the meat with Gildarts too chatting a little and each of them had a wooden mug in their hand. "There you are we have been waiting for you." A happy female voice spoke and I felt her hand rest on my shoulder. Irene turned around to her. "Now that I remember we haven't been able to properly introduce ourselves." She spoke and a little gasp came from Y/n's mother. "Right I forgot in all this haste. You already know Miku, I'm Sarah and that right there is Tony my husband who I've been married to since 16." She stated and I let out a little gasp. "You marry so young out here?" I asked and she nodded happily. Irene smiled lightly. "Out here the people actually take responsibility for their actions and learn early in their life to survive on their own, the most important here is your family." She spoke and a nod of approval came from Sarah. "That's right we live like the people 400 years ago did. Everyone has their job to do for a well working and happy village. I knew Tony since I was 6 years old and we always spend our days together helping each others farms." She spoke and smiled gently. Irene rasped lightly. "I'm Irene Belserion and this here is Cana Alberona. that bearded idiot right there is Gildarts Clive her father." She spoke calmly and Sarah made a small nod. "Please take a seat, the food is ready shortly." She stated and motioned to the table with Miku sitting right at the middle left. "Shouldn't we help them cook?" Irene asked perturbed. 

"No." Sarah shot out and grabbed them by the hands. "Grilling is done only by the men, its the only cooking they like to do and besides I wont go near it as I'm afraid the fumes could hurt me and my unborn child, the same  should go for the two of you if you value your health." She stated and the two of us ohed while taking a seat right opposite to her. Irene stared at the grill and gulped down. "You seem to be distracted?" I asked and she just ignored me. "I can smell it, they have tasty meat and roasted potatoes on it." She spoke and whipped away the saliva on her lower lip. 

"My, my. You Irene seem to love meat don't you." Sarah hummed and giggled while Miku sat cross legged at her side. "I bet its because she's a dragon slayer too, Y/n has those slitted pupils too and pointy fangs." She spoke pointing at her. "Miku you are not supposed to point at others, you should do what your brother does and find someone to marry." She spoke and I chocked lightly. "Uh what?" I asked and Sarah looked at me surprised. "Don't you know it. When Y/n went away I told him he better come back with a girlfriend to marry and live here and now that you are here I'm just waiting for it to be official." She spoke and I blushed deeply red. "I'm not his girlfriend!" I yelled out and Miku giggled with her hands right in front of her mouth. "You are acting just like all the girls I've seen before they married their male friends." She spoke and I gave her a little glare. "You just don't know it yet." Sarah spoke teasingly and took a sip of her drink. "Mother besides, I have someone I like and he likes me too." She spoke and Sarah smiled. 

I crossed my arms and turned to Y/n before I noticed the increased heart rate. Was he really thinking of asking me for my hand in marriage and have children with me. That would be my luckiest day, finally being happy and married to a man I love. But I don't even know if I have what it takes to be a wife. "Don't worry Cana you have what it takes, I know that face." Sarah spoke and I looked back up again. "We are just good friends." I replied smiling sheepishly and Miku gave me a smug look. "From what I know good friends don't kiss each others lips." She spoke causing my cheeks to flush again. Did he accidentally tell her we had kissed or how did she know it. She took a sip of her drink. "Sounds more like you are denying your feelings for my idiot of a brother." She spoke looking directly at me. 

"What are you four talking about." I heard a voice ask and we turned to our left to see Jellal and Erza. She had a beautiful aquamarin swing dress with polkadots  on and he had his dark blue mantle with those plates on his abs. "Oh just some idle chatter." Sarah spoke and winked at me.

I slapped myself mentally. I never thought it would turn out like this that his mother would ask me if I was going to be her sons future wife. Wait, he wasn't even nervous when I met his parents and usually when you get to meet a persons parents they want you in their family or else they would go out of their way to not have you meet them. Y/n is really thinking of making me his.  

"Where have you been?" Irene asked and Erza took a glass that she got handed. "We went around the village. We couldn't help but walk down these large and ample fields with their knee high grass." She spoke and sat right next to Irene. "Guys the food is ready." Y/n yelled and right after we got plates served in front of us.

I looked down to a perfectly grilled piece of meat and roasted potatoes to the side with some gravy right next to it. "Lets dig in guys." Y/n's father spoke and we all cheered lightly. I cut down a piece of it and notice the red color in the middle of the piece. It seems to be beef, cooked medium rare. I bit down the piece and the flavor washed over my mouth immediately. It was so tender and tasty. I stopped for a moment to just relish in this sensation. 

I wanted to know who could grill them so well. I never had such a great piece before. "Who made these so well I really wanna know." I stated and Y/n gazed up to me. The corners of his lips tugged upwards. "It was me. My father told me how to do it and let me grill it on my own while your father also watched and they both talked about their job." He stated and I let out a light gasp. He was so great at this. I took one of the potatoes on the fork and bit it. It was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I almost shook in excitement. "Do you make these often?" I asked and he shook his head. "Not really, meat usually only came at week ends. During the week we ate other stuff and potatoes are the most used one, next to grain." He spoke and I turned my head to Irene who was eagerly eating this. "I never knew the common folk during my reign actually ate such great cooking. But now with fridges you can prolong some of the stuff." She spoke and Sarah nodded. "That is true I still have a book that was written by one of my ancestors dated 400 years ago that explains in detail how to prepare each of the basic foods and the preservation." She spoke and her eyes trailed to me. "I'll probably will be making another copy of it, one for Miku and one for you Cana." She added smiling softly at me.

I let out a surprised hum. "Really? That's - a great honor." I stammered out. I really was being accepted by his mother as a daughter in law. That or she had some twisted game in her mind.

A/n: A long chapter this time with some more interactions with Irene and Cana about the ones they like and the family of Y/n. You may wonder where I got the name of Y/n's sister, it might not be what you think.
