Hey this is one of my 13 pics challenge this is number 3/13 and yeah I hope you enjoy this first chapter.
In the kingdom of Fiore Prince Jellal sat in the library with his cousin Levy, she was deeply engrossed in a book and he was looking out the window, the world was dark from storm clouds, and the land was barren besides the houses that scattered across it. How had the world gone to such ruin? Jellal wondered, under his father King Makarov the already harshly deforested world had only gotten worse, people were starving but were too afraid of his father to do anything and Jellal? Well he really didn't know what to do, he turned to Levy.
"What are you reading?" he inquired, she looked up with a smile.
"I'm reading about the fairies" she says.
"You do know they are probably extinct"
"I know but it's so interesting to read about them, they seem so sweet, there were fairies for everything and elves lived with them even dragons! It's just so wonderful"
"Yeah until the royal family had to dig up their homes" Levy pouted.
"I know I am a part of the royal family too" she reminded him, he nodded looking back out the window, he and Levy were fairly similar for cousins, they both had blue hair though his was dark and hers was light, they both liked reading and were better at using their brains then brawn.
Gajeel walked in just then and they looked to him.
"Your father wants to see you" he says Jellal nods standing, Levy purposely looks back at her book ignoring the dragon.
"You can't avoid him he is your bodyguard" Jellal says.
"You mean he's a bully! He follows me everywhere! I haven't seen Jet and Droy in ages because they're too scared of him"
"Not my problem shrimp" the dragon says hearing them easily.
"Don't call me shrimp!" she demands with a huff and Jellal smiling leaves.
Natsu and Gray meet him in the hall.
"Hey" they greet walking with him, Natsu was a dragon too but Gray was just a human, a human who was very good at fighting and strategy, they were both his friends.
"Do you know what he wants?" he asks.
"I think it's something to do with the North Woods, but I'm not sure" Gray says.
The three of them enter the throne room and walk up to his father, Jellal and the others bow respectively.
"Jellal my son there seems to be something 'weird' and I use the guards term going on in the North Woods, I want to know what it is, or if it's nothing, I'm sending you with Natsu and Gray to check it out, don't come back until you know and are sure, understood?" he says leaving no room for error.
"Yes father" he answers taking another bow and hastily leaving the depressing atmosphere of the room.
Levy meets them at the stables Gajeel not far behind her.
"I hear you're going to the North Wood" she says.
"Yeah we are" says Natsu with a smile, packing his stuff onto the horse.
"Cool can I come?" she asks they look at her.
"Of course not you're a lady Levy, why would you even want to come?" Jellal asks.
"I think it would be fun and its better than being trapped in this dungeon of a castle, and since Gajeel has to follow me everywhere, you get another dragon to go with you in case something happens"
"I could handle it" Natsu says feeling dismissed.
"Yeah right" Gray and Gajeel say, Levy smiles.
"I didn't say yes" Jellal says, she shrugs, walking over to one of the horses jumping on and racing out before they can stop her.
"I don't need your permission!" she yells with a laugh as the others now scurry to go after her.
Hope you've enjoyed chapter one chapter two out soon.
