The guild's request board remained empty. Villagers whispered: "Fairy Tail is too powerful now. They broke the world to save it." Lucy found the first clue in an old, dust-covered book in the guild's basement: The Celestial Spirit of the Equinox . It spoke of four ancient spirits—Verna (Spring), Solara (Summer), Aurel (Autumn), and Glacies (Winter)—who had hidden themselves away after the Dragon King's fall, fearing mortal magic had grown too reckless.

He refused to return because he believed Fairy Tail had forgotten its dead—Simon, Ur, Igneel, Mavis. Gray, who had lost his master, his father figure, and his innocence, sat beside the weeping spirit.
