A/N: Hello there! Welcome to Legacy! I will be using a few OCs (original characters) in this fanfiction. Not too many so you as the reader will be confused, but not just one either. If you don't mind OCs, just start reading and enjoy!

Note: All the dark guild members are characters made up by me. Seilah is not the demon from Tartaros, I just liked her name :D

Disclaimer: I do not own Natsu, Lucy, or Laxus.

Prologue

"I'm sending the two of you on a very important mission. The information you're seeking is vital to the guild. Please don't let me down." says a blonde, spiky haired man with gray pointy headphones. "You're the best two person team in this guild." he adds. His long, black, fur trimmed coat rustles as he turns around, his back facing the two wizards in question. The lightning shaped scar over his right eye is visible as he turns around.
"Understood." the two wizards behind him say, nodding their heads in understanding.

Under the cover of night, the two wizards creep down a dank, musty tunnel filled with dripping stalagmites protruding from every direction. It was dark save the bright light shining from the end of the tunnel. In fact, the light was so bright that the two mages had to shield their eyes once they got closer. The small tunnel passageway soon opened up to a large cavern with a glimmering stone the size of a gallon jug of milk placed in the center of an intricately designed marble pedestal. The first wizard, a blonde haired woman, walked up to the shining stone, her hand hovering just inches above the stone before the alarms blared loud and clear. The second wizard, a spiky pink haired male, acted quickly and grabbed the woman's hand. He started to run back to the tunnel.
"We can't just leave like this! Not when we've seen this!" the woman shrieked, pulling against the man with all her strength to get back to the pedestal.
"We can't stay here! Not when there are sure to be reinforcements coming this way! We can't waste another second, or we might be as well as dead!" The two wizards almost reach the tunnel entrance when a group of three wizards stop them in their tracks.
"Well well well, who do we have here?" The first wizard steps forward, her hand lazily waving towards the two escaping wizards.
"Let's make quick work of these two." Another wizard steps out of the shadows, unfurling the glossy black bat wings on his back.
The two escaping mages fought hard, but their efforts were wasted. The three wizards overpowered them in no time, and the two escapees were thrown to the dirt ground. With their dying breaths, the two wizards started to emit a bright glow around their bodies that filled the whole cavern with light. After a few seconds, the light diminished, leaving the two corpses in the dirt.
"They put up quite a fight, Seilah" the man with the bat wings comments, folding his wings.
"Yes they did. They're more powerful than we thought, Felix." Seilah pants. "That glow...do you think that was heart message? If so, we will have to root out their children, and kill them too."
Heart message was a way of communicating between dying parents and their children. If the parents had any last words to their children, they would use the last sliver of their energy to tell them. Unfortunately, using this method, the children would only receive this information on their fifteenth birthday, when brains fully mature to receive and comprehend heart messages. It would be a while before an assassination attempt on the two wizards' children would be necessary.
"Yes. We'll report this to the Master and have him plan out our next move. For now, we should keep tabs on Fairy Tail, and hope they don't try anything funny. Let's go Seilah. We have better things to do than hanging around the Glimmer Cavern."
The two dark wizards turned around and blended with the shadows, disappearing in the rising fog.

A/N: And that's the end of the prologue! It's a bit short so I apologize if you were expecting anything longer. I promise the other chapters will be longer than this (around 2k words)! Thank you for reading and please review! I appreciate anything you have to say about my fanfiction. Reviews keep me motivated and helps me become a better writer! :) Cheers!
