This is a side project of mine, I have no idea where this will go. This idea originally sprung while I was walking through school today. I have my own Fairy Tail world going through my head and I have an entire timeline of the magical world stored away with historical events, folk tales, magical science and other things. So, I decided to elaborate on the PAST of this world. If any of you have read my other FT stories like Silence Uprising and Saint Parallel then you know that I am a writer of series. This doesn't have anything to do with it.

The Story of Silence (which is what I call the collection of 4 stories I am writing, 4th not yet released) is after the current events of Fairy Tail. This story, will go back to the WWWAAAAYYYY beginning of time. Literally, year 0. Like I said, I have no idea where this will go. It will mostly be inspiration based and im open for any suggestions you have. Canon characters do appear and some OCs I created also appear as well. Sometimes, I drop hints at what will be happening in future stories as well so be on the look out for those too.

"Magic is little more than imagination. It takes imagination to create such a thing as magic. Follow your dreams and you will go far. Follow the teachings of the old days and fall terribly. These are the words of Kiliman." – inscription on David Goliath's tombstone.

The Earthland has existed for several centuries, civilization rising and falling. In the current world, 5 major continents exist. The history of the people on each of these continents extends back to the time of the black sun. However, more recently, something new has been discovered. Magic. The history of magic has only been recorded until the year X818. However, it all started in the year 0. The current system in which magic works, is all thanks to a man named David Goliath. He would eventually grow up to become the guild master of the first guild in history. Goliath.

Year 0, Killiman's School of Young Mages.

"No you fool! Add the crystal here!"

"Agh, did you see the battle yesterday? Some massive carnage."

"I cant see! AHHAHAHHH!"

"Idiot! Come over here so I can wash your eyes out!"

"Why cant any of you be like Mavis! Shes perfect at everything!"

The harsh voice of Lord Kiliman snapped David into reality. He was sitting at his desk, reading the battle reports from last night. Every student was required to keep a battle record with him at all times. It was updated weekly and had every single recent battle the armies of King Vinny and Viceroy Norman had fought against each other. The students really care for the political facts, just the amount of soldiers killed and the types of cannons used. It was a weekly ritual to bet on the person who won the next battle. David sighed and closed the faded leather cover of the battle reports and stuffed it into his desk. It was just another day at Lord Kiliman's school for hopelessly lost idiots. Magic was a fairly new thing and had only been discovered a few years back. David wondered…

"Goliath, please recite the records of the Battle of Demin last week. By memory." Lord Kiliman added at the end, smiling a bit.

Lord Kiliman. The classic teacher. He was a harsh instructor and was an incredibly famous mage. His task was no easy one. The Battle of Demin had been an incredibly long battle spanning almost 6 months. However, David was no ordinary kid at the school. He stood up confidently and recited the statistics he had memorized.

"King Vinny: deaths, 40,000. Wounded, none. Captured 3. Cannons used: Mark VII twin burst cannons with dual thrust barrels. Viceroy Norman: deaths 34,000. Wounded, 8,000. Captured, none. Cannons used: Fire-Twist Axel Crusher cannons and XinTe Rapiburst assault cannons. Is that good enough?" David said coolly as he sat down.

Lord Kiliman nodded in approval. He was his best student, under Mavis Vermillion of course. She was perfect at everything. Reciting, spells, physical activity and overall she was beautiful. David felt sweat drop down his back and did a quick sweep of the classroom. It was built like an auditorium with rows of seats rising up from the ground. Lord Kiliman gave lectures at the front. His eyes passed over everyone in the room but stopped as his eyes fell on Mavis. He could feel his face getting red. He could already feel his face getting red after recalling an awkward incident only a week back…

A week ago, library

"Are you sure this is ok?"

David and his friend, Hunter walked through the library. They both carried a lot of books but David carried the most. Mid-terms were coming up so he needed to study.

"Yeah. I don't even think we need to check these books out." Hunter said.

David was about to say something when suddenly he tripped on something and went crashing to the floor, books flying everywhere. He rubbed his head as he looked up. Mavis was staring at him from a table. Instantly his face grew red.

"Do you need some help?" she asked as she got up from the table.

"I, uh, er well, k-kinda?" David stumbled on all the words.

Mavis smiled a bit at that and quickly helped David get all the books back in his hands. Hunter came running from the other side of the library. How did he get there so fast? He looked worried.

"Hey man! We have to go!" Hunter said, pulling David towards the door of the library.

"Bye Hunter, bye David!" Mavis called as Hunter dragged David out the door.

David never forgot how awkward it was.

End flashback

"Yes, the 3rd helix is crucial to developing magical abilities."

David yawned. School was boring but it was worth it to see the things the other kids were up to. He was situated at the very top of the room next to Hunter. Hunter didn't really care about school, preferring to sleep or chase after girls. Strangely, he was the only guy in the school not to take an interest in Mavis. Hunter was thin and lanky, perfect for a messenger. In fact, that was his job. He crawled through the airducts in the school, delivering messages to kids all around the school at a low rate of 10 jewels a message. His dark brown hair was just like David's own but his was much longer. He wore the usual rumpled school uniform and he was snoring.

School was not crucial to a mage's success. In fact, Kiliman never even got an education until recently. However, the nobles sent their kids anyway. Most of them were idiots but they were rich. Him and Hunter were little more than street rats. At least Hunter had a minor noble for a father. David only went to school because it was either school or go to jail. All mages ended up in the military and didn't really do much besides kill enemies of the state. David wanted to be more than that. He wanted to be someone people of the future could look up to. Mages didn't do anything useful to the world besides teach other young mages. Perhaps…

David sat up in his chair. He had an idea…a very good idea. What if mages took jobs from the community? Say a woman lost her ring or a town was being attacked? They could just call a guild to help! David started thinking furiously. Could it work? Would the council approve? David grinned as the entire system formed in his mind…

Little did David know, he was going to be the founder of a system that would change everything….

So there it is. I also want to have a character bio nailed down from the first post because sometimes I don't give you guys enough description about the main character. Silence Uprising was a good example of that.

Name: David Goliath

Age: 16

Class: B

Teacher: Lord Kiliman

Magic: Fire magic

Personality: he is somewhat of a strange kid. He is cool and snobby at times but deep down, a real softy. He has a few good friends but none of noble descent because nobles don't play with commoners. He believes that everything is false until truly verified. His best friend is named Hunter Chase. He, like all other boys, likes Mavis Vermillion.

Appearance: wears glasses that he usually keeps perched on his nose. His brown hair is of medium length, not nearly as long as Hunter's hair. He wears the school uniform that consists of a dark green jacket with the symbol of the wizard council on it over a grey t-shirt and the dark grey dress pants. His eyes are dark brown and he wears black dress shoes.

History: born to Helga Goliath and John Goliath, they are bitterly poor. David is an expert at magic but fails horribly at making money. He questions every command he is given. He lives in the Common District and lives next to a garbage disposal. He has an older brother who is a general in the Rune Knight army. Even his money is not enough to buy a decent house. He has a history of earning top marks only under Mavis and lives to become greater than his brother. He was given the choice, school or jail by his brother because David had been caught in one of his (rare) acts of vandalism of school property.

Likes: cats and the mind

Dislikes: school and idiots

Other: he sleeps with a towel on his pillow for some reason.

Well, I hope you liked this chapter. I assume we all know what Mavis looks like and Hunter will be given real description next chapter. If you have any questions about this story, please ask. Thanks, FF
