It had been two years since Lisanna's death, and the now eleven-year-old Dealana had changed. She no longer used her magic for offensive purposes instead of relying on her hand to hand combat when in a situation requiring it. She still used her magic to create clouds to float on, but her emotional state was never the same. Her normal attire stayed the same, the cream colored loose fitting shirt, navy zip-up hoodie, black shorts, no shoes, gauntlets, and Lisanna's bracelet wrapped securely around her ankle.

Mira noticed the changes in the young girl, and together, with Elfman, they managed to pull through. Dealana, in the three years since Lisanna's passing, had grown closer with many people in Fairy Tail despite her grumpy attitude. The biggest difference, however, was how the girl had drifted from Laxus.

It was as if they never met, ignoring the other's presence. Deep down, however, both wizards were upset but were too stubborn and prideful to show it. Dealana looked up to Laxus with his powerful magic and strong demeanor, in many ways it reminded her of Arashi. Laxus had also been the one to bring her to the hospital when she was found unconscious on the road seven years prior.

Laxus saw Dealana as a runt, in a good way of course. He saw her like an annoying little sister that was more tolerable than everyone else. Before Lisanna's death, she didn't act clingy or drift too far away. She admired his skill, but he couldn't have any weakness that included Dealana.

In her time with Arashi, Dealana was constantly training, whether she knew it or not. She would run for hours just to keep up with Arashi when he moved around. 'Never stop using your magic.' he would tell her, 'and on the day you need it most, you won't fail.' Dealana took this to heart, and while she refused to use her offensive magic that didn't mean she refused to practice it. She just practiced and trained in secret.

Currently, Dealana sat beside Cana casually sipping on her mug of juice while Cana casually sipped on her glass of what appeared to be wine. Her two sky blue braids resting over her shoulders while she closed her eyes. A few minutes of peace before she smelled a familiar scent. Smoke, Fire, and fish.

"There's a storm coming." she muttered grumpily. Cana paused her drinking and rose an eyebrow,

"Huh?"

"A storm is brewing on the horizon, bringing with it, a destructive force with no learning capacity." she explained. Cana sweatdropped at the girl's description.

"So... Natsu and Happy?" she guessed, taking another sip

"Who else?"

Dealana's prediction proved correct when Natsu kicked open the door yelling that they'd made it back alive. Lively chatter and greetings were thrown in the direction of the pink-haired wizard and the flying blue cat, Fairy Tail had grown to love.

Dealana noticed a busty blonde enter front behind Natsu. The girl's brown eyes seemed to sparkle with excitement as she looked around the guild hall. 'Poor girl doesn't know what she's in for.' Dealana thought before her gaze was torn away by Natsu kicking a wizard in the face.

"You lied about that Salamander! I'm gonna kick your butt."

"Don't get mad at me. I'm not the one to blame here. I'm just passing along a rumor I heard."

"It was just a rumor?"

"You want to fight?"

"Let's go!" Dealana scoffed at the destruction now taking place as Natsu and the wizard fought while dragging other guild members into the fray.

"So Natsu finally made it back, huh?" Gray asked rhetorically while wearing only his underwear.

This is Gray Fullbuster. A very

talented wizard. But he tends to––

Well, he has a bad habit of taking off his clothes.

"It's time we settled this once and for all."

Cana smirked, "Gray, your clothes?" she asked while Dealana rolled her eyes before the blond girl turned to them,

"I don't have time for that!" Gray shouted angrily

This lovely lady is Cana Alberona.

She holds the title of Fairy Tail's heaviest drinker.

"You see, Dealana? I don't date the men here because they have no class." she said before drinking out of a large barrel. Dealana chuckled as the blonde gaped nervously at Cana

"If they did it wouldn't be Fairy Tail now would it?" the heterochromia girl said unaffected by Cana.

This young girl is Dealana Ka'ino.

A bright young wizard known for floating on

clouds and her storm-like temperament.

"Come here and fight me, Natsu." Gray shouted at the dragonslayer while he was currently grappling with another guildmate.

"Not until you put some clothes on!" Natsu shouted back

"It's only noon and you boys are already whining like spoiled babies." a new voice said as the sound of wood against wood sounded across the floor. Dealana smiled as she recognized Elfman.

This brute of a man is Elfman.

A muscle-bound wizard who believes all you

need to solve any problem are two strong fists.

"I'm a real man. Want me to prove it to you?" he asked before he was knocked into the banister by both Gray and Natsu.

"Geez, it's so noisy around here." a smug voice said, followed by the sound of girls giggling, Dealana scoffed glancing over at Loke with a few ladies. Loke and Dealana had a nice sibling-relationship, Loke was like an older brother that would protect Dealana–– but only for the attention of other girls.

This is the lady-killer, Loke, ranked

high on the most eligible wizard bachelor's list.

Dealana laughed as something hit Loke in the face.

"I'm going to go fight. Only to protect you two." Loke smirked while the girls swooned, wishing him good luck. The busty blonde seemed to be looking for an oasis of peace in the guild hall's utter chaos when Mira approached from nearby, Dealana making her way over as well.

"Hello, are you new here?" Mira Jane asked sweetly holding a serving platter. While the blond freaked out Dealana had reached the two girls.

And this is Mira Jane, a beautiful wizard

who's known for her bikini-clad photo spreads

in Sorcerer Weekly magazine.

She is currently an employee at Fairy Tail.

"Um, don't you think we should try and stop them or something?" Lucy asked. Dealana giggled while Mira smiled and faced the chaos surrounding them.

"It's always like this around here. I just leave them alone. Besides––" Mira was interrupted as she was pushed to the ground by Elfman crashing from a hit, "It's kind of fun, don't you think?" she asked smiling as if she wasn't currently being squished by Elfman's large frame before groaning.

Lucy screamed about Mira Jane dying when Gray crashed into her, a few feet away Natsu was smirking while swinging Gray's underwear around.

"Give me back my underwear, jerk!" Gray demanded while Lucy screamed with a raging blush. Dealana too had faint pink dusting across her cheeks, but who wouldn't when someone wasn't wearing any clothes? Dealana huffed and covered her eyes muttering incoherently before turning her covered face in Lucy's direction,

"Tell me when Gray had something on, yeah?" Lucy sweatdropped at the little girl's nonchalant request

"Excuse me, Miss. Could I please borrow your underwear?" Dealana heard Gray ask Lucy.

"As if!" Lucy shrieked whacking Gray in the face with something before she was swooped up by Loke. At least, Dealana figured it was Loke as she still had her eyes covered but her sense of smell was still pretty good.

"These guys are all so insensitive." Loke started, "A woman has needs––" he was cut off by Elfman punching him in the jaw declaring how 'real men fight with their fists' before Elfman too was cut off by a kick to the face from Natsu,

"I told you to butt out!"

"Aye." came the nervous-sounding Happy. Dealana risked uncovering her eyes before rushing back over to Cana, who was continuing to drink calmly at the bar.

"Ugh, it's so loud. So much for having a drink to relax." she grumbled before holding a card, preparing to cast a spell, "That's enough, you guys. I suggest that you knock it off." she warned them from atop her seat with Dealana sitting atop the bar next to her.

"Oh, yeah? Says who?" Gray challenged a fist against his palm with an icy colored magic circle as he too prepared to cast something. Elfman yelled raising a fist with a purple magic circle as the rubble from around the room formed a stronger arm over the original. Loke twisted his ring, a green magic circle appearing,

"You punks can be such a nuisance." he said before Dealana watched both of Natsu's fists become engulfed with flames,

"I'm ready for ya!" Natsu said before a giant black beast seemed to appear and scare most of the guild,

"Would you fools stop bickering like children?" it spoke angrily, everyone froze until Mira spoke from behind the creature,

"I'm sorry, I didn't know you were still here, Master." Lucy seemed to freak out when Mira called the mysterious beast, Master when Natsu laughed sounding triumphant.

"Man, talk about a bunch of babies. Looks like I won this round you guy––" he spoke before he was squashed beneath the oddly shaped foot of the beast, who looked at Lucy

"Well, seems we've a new recruit." the beast suddenly roared before shrinking down to Master Makarov who simply held up a hand in greeting, "Nice to meet ya."

Mira introduced Makarov to Lucy before Makarov complained about the magic council and gave a speech about how Fairy Tail was number one, which always brought a smile to Dealana's face as she rubbed her scarred nose out of habit.
