Prologue
Pretending to be a man my whole life has been incredibly difficult. At first I felt guilty, stealing a name off a grave in some random churchyard I passed one day. John Watson. It has a nice ring to it, doesn't it? Anyway, as time progressed, I became less guilty, and more determined. I joined medical school, passing with flying colours obviously. I then enlisted as a council doctor in the first Alvarez war. My skills as a solid-script mage along with a fully trained doctor made me an impeccable council member. My penchant for languages also came in quite useful. Soon enough though I became Injured, luckily not serious, but enough that a superior officer learned of my secret. I thought I was done for, but he, Commander Gajeel Redfox, kept my secret, but sent me back home.
Once back in my hometown of Magnolia, I kept up my alias as Dr John Watson and floated through the years working various jobs, local GPs, checkout assistants, lacrima engineers, etc. before finally settling as a librarian.
Then came another issue. My allowance from the council bad run out and I could no longer afford the extortionate prices of a single bedroomed flat in Magnolia. However , to my immense fortune, I once again saw Commander Redfox, who was no longer serving and also happened to land in Magnolia. He'd got a job at in a local police station in a small village called Phantom Lord. He informed me of how he discovered they were corrupt and used his old council ties to get them shut down. His superiors suggested he didn't call on them again and he came to Magnolia to join the private detectives firm, Fairy Tail.
I listened eagerly to his story, before explaining my own predicament and how I would soon have to leave my beloved job and hometown. At that moment he let out a little 'gee-hee' laugh before informing me of a colleague of his that was looking for someone to share a flat. I figured it would be better than nothing and took off him the business card of Mr Sherlock Heartfilia.
The first time I met Mr Heartfilia was the most memorable day of my life. We had spoken over the phone and arranged to meet at a local restaurant called 8-island. It was owned by an ex-council member Yajima who I was also keen to catch up with. When I arrived, I scoured the room looking for any sign of Mr Heartfilia. We had not met, yet all the only customer in the room was a slender blonde woman who looked to be in her early twenties and so I presumed he had not yet arrived. However as I went to sit on an unoccupied table, the young woman turned her attention to me.
She smiled politely before sweetly saying "Watson, I've already ordered two cups of tea" I glanced at her, before joining her at her table and politely asking "Thank you. Have you been sent by Mr Heartfilia?"
"No sir. I am Sherlock Heartfilia, but you can call me Lucy. May I call you Levy?"
NEW STORY!
