Hello hello! I'm here with a brand new story. I know OCs in Fairy Tail are rare but please give mine a chance. Heads up, this is up to date with the latest Fairy Tail chapters. All events happening 418 may or may not be included. I'll definitely be finishing it before the manga because Mashima said we're halfway through it so far. Enjoy!

I do not own anything except everything you don't recognize.

Chapter 1. The Girl in the Book

Year X793

Makarov Dreyar, the third and sixth master of the strongest guild in Fiore, slumped over his desk. He had hit the bottom of his glass four times in half an hour. The Magic Council had sent over a notice. They needed more wizards to take care of Zeref's demons. A sudden influx had been terrorizing towns all over the continent. The council's own troops were made quick work of, most did not report back. Half of Fairy Tail was still recovering from the last few missions. 'At this rate, we'll all be dead,' thought Makarov.

"Drinking won't help."

Makarov's head snapped up. "First Master!"

Mavis Vermillion smiled sweetly and lightly giggled as Makarov straightened up his office.

"First Master, you can't keep appearing like this," said Makarov.

Mavis glided over to an empty chair in front of his desk.

"I could not stay on Tenrou. Not with the world suffering like this. More and more of his demons are popping up." Makarov wiped his brow as Mavis spoke.

"I know. But what can we do? No one on Earth Land is strong enough to kill Zeref… yet. I fear that the world will be flooded with fire and blood once again."

"Not if I can help it," Mavis declared.

Makarov eyed the First Master suspiciously.

"What are you planning?"

Mavis held neither a childlike smile nor innocent aura. Her jade green eyes bore into Makarov's.

"We need to set her free."

Makarov almost chocked on his spit. His eyes bulged out. The idea of bringing back an old member of Fairy Tail… was preposterous. Unthinkable. Insane. What was Mavis thinking?

"Ophelia…?" A confirmation nod from Mavis was all he needed.

"How? He was the one that sealed her away."

Mavis eyes shined with mischief. "Three Wizard Saints should do it."

Makarov sat back in his seat and poured himself another drink. 'Can the world handle her and The Black Wizard again? Or will it sink under their weight?'

A week later, a team of some of Fairy Tails best and three Wizards Saints traveled to a remote island off the coast of Fiore. It was miniscule in size, with a rocky terrain and no signs of life. As the group maneuvered over the slippery slopes, a blast of dark energy hit them. Above them flew the three demons guarding Zeref's prized book. Unlike other books of his collection, this one housed not one of his creations but his greatest weakness. The group would not be stopped from obtaining it and unleashing the woman trapped inside for more than 100 hundred years. The three Wizard Saints stood back and let the others fight. They had to reserve their strength to break the seal on Zeref's book.

One of the demons was pierced in the stomach with an iced arrow. Mirajane aimed dark energy at them, knocking them out of the sky. Another met the fists of Natsu and Wendy. It was sent plummeting to the ground. The third struck Natsu in the back with a spiked heel and he collided into Wendy.

Gray used Ice Devil's Zeroth Destruction Bow again but the third demon easily dodged. The second demon came up behind Gray sending him a curse of fire. Gray held his side but then fell as the third shot similar flames. The Fire nipped at his skin. Mirajane gave the third demon a swift punch. Natsu consumed the fire surrounding Gray and let out a Fire Dragon Roar at the first demon, who had begun charging in.

Jumping back up, Gray released a beam of ice from his mouth, battering the two remaining demons.

The group trudged the rest of the way to the hidden cave beneath a bed of rock. Mavis and Warrod led as they sensed for the spirit of their old friend. Following a labyrinth of passages, they came upon a circular room. On the walls were eyes, claw marks and silhouettes of ancient beasts carved. At the center, an altar was erected. A large crucifix hung over a pedestal. On it lay a delicate and worn out book with three letters engraved on the cover; D.A.W.

The occupants of the room could feel a powerful amount of magical energy coming from the book. Mavis nodded at Makarov. Makarov, Jura and Warrod shot a massive stream of light, earth and green magic at the book. A blinding luminescence shook the cave as everyone shielded his or her eyes. When it died down, they looked up to see a young woman floating a few feet in the air.

Illuminated by soft light, her presence awed all but two, for they had witnessed her raw magic power before.

Her light silver hair swept around in a rush of air. Her eyes met Warrod's. Warrod's filled with tears as she smiled gently at him. Shock emitted from her face when she saw Mavis.

"Mavis...? Warrod, what is happening? Where are we? Oh hello," she said as she realized others were present.

"I feel-"The light vanished and she crumpled to the floor. The light was hiding her charred body. Blood seeped from the burns mingling with other bodily fluids. Her body's temperature rapidly decreased.

"Ophelia!" Warrod yelled.

Wendy rushed to her side and checked her body.

"I can heal some of the wounds but we have to get her to Porlyusica fast," Wendy said.

"Do what you can, young one," Jura said.

Wendy started using her healing spells, bathing Ophelia in light.

"What's wrong with her Gramps?" Natsu asked.

"She was hurt in battle before she was sealed away in the book. It's what kept her alive all this time," Makarov answered.

"That's all I can do for now. Let's get her back to the guild," Wendy said brushing off her skirt.

Five days later, Ophelia woke up. She was in a coma the first three as Porlyusica and Wendy worked night and day to keep her alive. The last two days she fought a high fever and was monitored by Mirajane and Wendy. Porlyusica left when she woke up from the coma leaving medicines and strict instructions.

The first things she saw were Makarov and Mavis.

"Mavis… you took on an ethereal body."

The two friends stared each other down. "It was necessary. I can't leave Fairy Tail to fend for themselves."

Ophelia's laugh was empty.

"You always were the noble one."

"Unlike you who wanted to destroy everything," Mavis shot back.

Ophelia shrugged. "That's the Fairy Tail way.

"Alright, what's going on? Why am I here?"

Makarov and Mavis shared a heavy look. Together, they spun the tale of the 100 hundred years Ophelia missed. From Zeref wandering Earth Land, the disappearance of the dragons, the disaster on Tenrou Island, the Grand Magic Games and the revelations fighting the Tartarus demons. By the end, they had three requests for her. Hide any information not known to the public, help save Earth Land and don't attract any attention.

"I don't think I can keep that up for long. How am I supposed to survive in this world if it's still riddled with demons and dark mages?"

"Fairy Tail will protect you. As it always has. No one must know who you are if we are going to succeed. If the situation is dire, unseal what you must," Makarov explained.

Ophelia thought it over then agreed. Once she finished, Makarov handed her a change of clothes, borrowed from Lucy.

"Clothes sure have gotten tighter and shorter than our days," Ophelia remarked.

Mavis pulled her in for a long and crushing hug after she finished dressing. Ophelia cried into her hair as she held on for dear life.

Mavis went back to Tenrou Island. Makarov gave her a tour of the guild as she thought over the new changes. To her, Makarov was a mini Yury but with a happier disposition. Before they even arrived at the guildhall, she could hear the rowdy members.

Makarov signaled for silence. Everyone looked towards the stage and stared at the unknown girl.

"My children, I am proud to say that a recent mission was a success. Thank you to Natsu, Gray, Mirajane and Wendy for accompanying me." A round of booming applause startled Ophelia.

"I would like to take the time to introduce you to an old member of the guild. She has not been back in a very, very long time. Some of the older members may have heard of her. She was one of the original members of Fairy Tail and a tremendous asset to the guild. I welcome back, Ophelia or Lia as she used to be called."

Whispers flooded the hall. Members pondered the strange appearance. Others questioned her youth. How could a person so young been in Fairy Tail 100 years ago?

"The Ophelia?" Gildarts was stupefied.

Those close to him took note of his reaction. The strongest wizard of the guild was amazed at this girl?

Makarov pulled Lia off stage, into the sea of people. He introduced her to the prominent members like Laxus his grandson. Who, like Gildarts, bowed his head in respect.

When they got to Team Natsu, the resident Fire Dragon Slayer jumped out of his chair and nearly tore her arm off. Laughing it off, she shook back just as eagerly, surprising the table. Her laughs ceased when she noticed his aura and froze.

She stared into his eyes never blinking. Relaxing after a minute she let go of his hand.

"Natsu huh? Makarov you have some interesting wizards."

"Yeah, Natsu's interesting if you like flame heads," Gray said.

Natsu's hands flared up. "What'd you say stripper?"

"You heard me lizard face!"

Ice and fire filled the hall as Lia looked on in bewilderment.

"Do they always fight?" she asked the buxom blonde, Lucy.

"Every day."

Lia smiled fondly. "Reminds me of my friends."
