A NEW ERA

Hundreds years ago in the land of Fiore there were 2 clans that held power over the land and its people.

Night crawlers and The Dragons

Night crawlers were a form of vampire with 2 different classes; Crawler and Pure blood. The pure bloods were the leaders of the clan and were born with special abilities, they appeared to be a normal, if not slightly pale, people. Crawlers were mindless blood sucking monsters that savagely sucked blood out of their prey through large wounds they bit in the victim's neck. Now while the Pure's could practically roam free during the day (unlike in the stories), the crawlers were forced into the shadows whenever the sun took its position in the sky. These crawlers were created and controlled by the Pure's and were used to instil fear into the country, giving the Night crawlers power over the 'mortals'.

The Dragons on the other hand weren't even Dragons, they were a large pack of supernatural powered werewolves that considered the Night crawlers their sworn enemies. Now unlike the Night crawlers the Dragon's didn't have different classes, only different ranks. There were 3 pack groups and their leaders; Fire, Metal, and Air. Now unlike the many myths that have been told about werewolves over the years, these wolves didn't need the full moon to change form, the full moon just made them stronger.

The leaders of these 2 clans were sworn enemies, as was mentioned before.

The Leaders of the Night crawlers were 3 powerful men.

Weisslogia; a Pure that seemed to be able to control light.

Skiadrum; a Pure that had the ability to control shadows

And lastly the most powerful of all the leaders… Acnologia; a former werewolf that had some how managed to find a way to turn himself into a Pure blood with unknown powers that seemed to control darkness and death itself.

Now on the Dragon's side there were 3 pack leaders that controlled one of the 3 different packs.

First there was Metalicana; a pure black werewolf with the ability to control and manipulate any form of metal as well as turn his body into that of iron. He controlled the Metal pack.

Second there was Grandeeny; a pure white werewolf with the ability to control the wind and the power to heal practically any wound. She controlled the Air pack and life mate to the leader of the Fire pack.

Lastly there Igneel; a werewolf with such dark brown fur it looked more red than brown. He could control anything to do with fire and could even create hellish flames from his own body. He controlled the Fire pack.

For years the 2 clans fought what seemed to be an evenly matched battles that would leave mortal villages in ruins and vast numbers of humans dead. But the fighting never stopped.

It seemed to be the end for the mortals that had gotten dragged into the war between the 2 clans, for the humans had no effective means by which to defend themselves. The crawlers fed on their blood and the wolves merely saw them as bait for which to lure crawlers out with.

So the humans went to their last resort, they prayed.

Every day the small spread out groups of people prayed to whatever godly entity watched over them. They did this for months with no answer or sign from the heavens and eventually they lost hope.

Or at least most of them did.

There was one group of people that lived in a small village hidden in a magical forest that's people refused to give up hope so easily, the village's name was Fairy Tail. They refused to just lay down and wait for the cold hands of death to come and take the away like so many of the others had.

"If the gods do not wish to help us then so be it" cried Mavis the village head, "for as long as we breathe and live we shall stop this war or we shall die trying". Her speech was answered with loud battle cries and cheers.

The entire village suited up in their armor and gathered their weapons, women and children alike stood with their comrades on the front line, for if they were to die today then it was to be with the ones they called family.

They walked to the savage battle grounds of the Dragon's and Night crawlers, it had once been a very prosperous trading town that was surrounded by natural rock cliffs around its borders, but now there was nothing left of the town and only war cries from the 2 clans.

The warriors stood near the edge of the cliff and looked down at the battle wagging before them, although it was plain to see that they were clearly out matched their will didn't waver.

Just before they were about to charge head long into their into their imminent deaths an angel appeared before them and bathed them all in its powerful light. Respectively the warriors bowed down to the angel and were silent as he spoke.

"It is unlike mortals such as yourselves to possess such strong will" the angel mused, the group dared not speak.

"The gods have decided that it is time to take action against these foul creatures, and you shall be the ones to carry out their will" the angel cupped his hands in front of himself and an orb of light appeared in his palms.

"The gods have chosen to give your group the means of which to defeat the creatures of the night that plague this world". The orbs floated out of his hands and hovered over the group.

The orb grew and grew until it had engulfed the group in a golden light. They could feel strange new power start to flow through their veins and give them new strength.

"May you use this power wisely" the angel finished before disappearing in a flash of light.

Mavis stood at the front of the group, her back turned to them.

The group looked at their leader uncertainly, "What do we do now Mavis-sama?" one warrior asked.

Mavis looked up to the sky and clenched her fist before turning to face her group.

She smiled cheerfully at them and clapped her hands together.

"We go give those living nightmares down there" she said gesturing to the battle below them with a wave of her petite hand, her smile turned into a smirk.

"A Fairy Tail welcome"

Cheers rose up from the crowd before her, the warriors took their places at the edges of the cliff.

Mavis and her family from Fairy Tail unsheathed their weapons and summoned their new powers. Mavis raised her sword high above her.

"For humanity!" she cried.

The group raised their weapons as well.

"For FAIRY TAIL!" They all cried.

The group charged down the cliff at break neck speeds and charged head long into the already raging battle.

The leaders of the clans could only watch as the seemingly desperate humans charged into their battle, the leaders expecting to see the group die the second they stepped into battle.

They couldn't have been more wrong.

The warriors plowed through the creatures of the night without so much as getting a hangnail. The battle quickly became one sided as the warriors now turned mages took down enemy after enemy while the leaders watched their kin get slaughtered by the creatures they had once considered worthless.

The battle waged on and on, the mages refusing to stop.

The Pures quickly abandoned the crawlers and escaped back to their land.

The leaders of the Dragon's knew that if something wasn't done soon then there wouldn't very many of their wolves left.

Igneel, Grandeeny, and Metallicana met with Mavis under the white flag of surrender.

They came to an agreement for both sides.

The Fairy Tail mages wouldn't kill any more wolves (unless forced too) and would help hunt and kill the Night crawlers that still murdered mercilessly and the wolves would eventually hide their wolf forms from society and use their human forms to integrate into the mortals world.

That was 200 years ago
