Year X773
I opened my eyes and looked around at the scene around me. I was in a large cavern like area. I didn't know what else it could be. Was I supposed to be here? My mind was blank. I looked ahead towards light. There, I could see a forest. A few leagues away were a couple of cottages. I could sense magic power... and life. Was it normal to be able to sense life? I looked behind me to hat seemed to be rows upon rows of giant crystals. About 15 in total. They were all smashed and broken. I suddenly wondered what had happened here. I looked down. I was on my hands and knees. That's when I noticed my left hand. On the back of my left hand was a silver mark in the shape of what looked like a dragon. I brushed my small fingers over it. What was it? I turned to the right and noticed a group of people. Looking around. Confused. But not as much as I was. Slowly, I lifted myself up from the ground and walked towards them. They all looked the same age. 6. If I remembered correctly, that's how old I was.
The first ones I noticed were two girls panting. Sitting on the ground. They were twins. I could tell. They shared the same hazel eyes and wavy, scruffy blue hair. They were holding hands. I could tell that they were the ones who had broken the crystals. "Why did you free us?" a boy with bright, electric blonde hair said - staring at the sisters with bright green eyes filled with curiosity. One of the blue haired girls looked up straight at all of us, a smile on her face. She looked so tired and worn out. I could tell she'd used up too much magic power. "You all looked so sad inside the lacrimas," she spoke quietly, "We wanted to set you all free so you could be happy..." All of a sudden, the girl who had just spoken fell back and lay motionless on the ground. "Aki!" The other one screamed out turning towards her sister. "I'll try and help!" a red headed girl said putting her hands towards the girl laying on the floor. A blue light glowed from her hands. I stared in awe. The other sister had began to cry now. "Aki!" she yelled, "Please wake up! This isn't funny!"
"I don't understand," the red head said - trying to remain calm and collected, "My sky magic should be able to heal her!" Suddenly I heard a voice calling. I looked towards the source of the sound. I saw a blue haired woman coming our way. I assumed she was the girls' mother. As soon as she was close to see the smashed crystals she spoke again. "Levy, what happened?" Then she noticed her crying daughter cuddling her unconscious sister... "Aki..." she muttered. She strove forward and gently cradled the little girl in her arms. "Levy, let's go back to the cottage." The girl nodded and clung onto her mother's lilac dress. The woman turned to the other 5 of us. "You five should also come. We have a lot to discuss." Without question we followed the woman and her daughter.
We didn't say a single word to one another. We just walked in silence. The only sounds we could here were birds chirping and the girl named Levy's sobs. As we walked, I was able to catch a glimpse of my reflection in a puddle. Staring back at me was a small 6 year old girl with short pale blonde hair and emerald green eyes along with pale skin. I had no idea what to thin of my appearance. I just carried on walking. As soon as we reached the cottage, the woman told us to stay in a fair sized room while she took her unconscious daughter upstairs followed by her other daughter. I looked around at the 4 other children around me. Two girl and two boys. One girl had bright blonde hair tied up in two small ponytails along with a pair of deep brown eyes. I noticed that her eyes were filled with tears. Beside her was the red headed girl. Her scarlet hair fell just above her shoulders. Her eyes were also a dark brown. Beside her was the blonde haired boy from before and next to him was a boy with pure white hair like snow along with pale blue eyes.
The white haired boy spoke up. Why don't we all introduce ourselves," he said. The red headed girl nodded in agreement. "My name is Xavier Strauss. I used to live with my parents and baby sister, Mirajane, before I was discovered to have zero generation dragon slayer magic so I was sealed away in one of those lacrimas to protect those around me since my magic was so strong." He took a pause before starting again. "Since you all have the same silver mark on the back of your left hands - you must all be zero generation dragon slayer too! I use ice dragon slayer magic by the way!" He smiled. I started to notice that this boy seemed to talk a lot. He seemed like the extroverted impulsive sort. "We'll go round in a circle," Xavier started to speak again, "You go next." He said pointing to the blonde haired boy next to him. The blonde boy began to speak. "My name is Lokni Dreyar. I'm a lightning dragon slayer. My older brother and parents are members of a treasure hunter guild named Sylph Labyrinth." It was the red head's turn. "My name is Miriza Belserion. I was a Princess in the kingdom Dragnof. That was before I turned 6 and everyone found out I was a zero sky dragon slayer. That was when I was sent to Fiore so that I could be safely sealed inside a lacrima." We all turned to the blonde girl next to Miriza. I could see the tear lowing down her face now and she began to wail. "Where's my mama!?" she sniffed, "I want to see my mama!" Xavier walked over and sat beside her. "What's your name?" he asked her gently. She sniffed. "Lilias Heartfilia." She said quietly, "I miss my mama!" She burst into tears again.
"What magic do you use?" Miriza asked.
"Earth dragon slayer," she said through her tears, "I want to be a celestial wizard just like my mama though! But then she told me I was an earth dragon slayer and she was going to take me somewhere safe! Where is she!"
All of a sudden, the blue haired woman entered the room without her daughters with her this time and sat between Lilias and Xavier. She gently placed her arm around Lilias to comfort her. "There's no need to worry." She smiled. Just the sound of her voice seemed to sooth Lilias. Then she turned to me. "Why don't you tell the others about yourself now," she spoke ever so gently and softly. "How did you know she was next?" Xavier asked.
"Telepathy magic," she answered tapping her head. Then everyone looked straight at me - expecting me to speak. I sighed. "My name is Faya." I said.
"Do you have a surname?" Xavier asked.
"I... Don't know..." I answered. As hard as I tried I couldn't remember my surname.
"What magic do you use?" Lokni asked.
"I'm a generation zero fire dragon slayer," I answered again. Those were the only things I knew about myself. My name,age and magic. How come I was the only one who had forgotten their past?
