Prologue: Voices
The chandelier was tinkling slightly, issuing a melodic tune from its perch on the high ceiling. The people seated in the dining hall had not appeared to notice. The paintings along the walls quivered slightly in their frames. One particularly sensitive man, twitched and looked up, eying the paintings for a moment, before returning to his meal.
Then, without any warning, a large crack appeared right in the centre of the room. Several ladies in expensive dresses shrieked shrilly as the the entire table veered to one side, tilting precariously, almost falling into the crack entirely. The men leapt backwards, trying to find their footing on the now trembling floor. The lights on the chandelier flickered and went out, and more screams were heard, piercing through the air like knives.
A loud rumbling was heard and the screams stopped, although whimpering was very evident. The rumbling seemed to come from everywhere, resonating from all four walls. The people were frightened, clutching to each other. The voice that spoke next made the hair on the back of their necks stand on end.
"Fairy Tail will now pay for their ignorance... With the lives of these people. Our long-sought for revenge will finally be served. Cold." The low, menacing voice was dripping with malicious intent. It rung in their ears and their minds went blank. An evil cackling sounded through the entire room, reverberating against the walls and it made them all dizzy. One by one, they collapsed onto the ground, unconscious. The voice spoke again, this time in a quieter tone, but just as lethal.
"And so, our time to strike back has come. Fairy Tail."
