Hi, guys. Remember: all credit for Fairy Tail goes to Hiro Mashima.
Ch. 1 – Ice and Swords challenge the Strongest Guild
"So, this is Magnolia. This is where we'll find Fairy Tail. So, Bladeknight, are you ready to have some fun?" Frostburg asked with curious excitement. He looked at his friend who was covered in silver armor. He was at least 7 feet tall.
"Yes. We are far away from that Dark Guild that tortured us. We'll have to see if this guild is as strong as these people say. If they are, we'll join. If not, then at least we get a fight for fun, and not as a test," Bladeknight responded, pained. He stopped and looked down at the ground.
"Hey, buddy. It's okay. We're out, now. Let's keep moving forward," Frostburg said amicably. Bladeknight looked at his friend, who had short, spiked white hair and orange eyes. He wore a blue short-sleeve shirt, white jeans, and white sandals.
"Right. Let's go, then," Bladeknight said happily. They walked into the huge town. It took roughly 30 minutes to arrive in front of Fairy Tail's headquarters—an imposing building consisting of three floors. The building was reminiscent of a pagoda, with each floor being smaller than the one below it and sitting on the latter's roof. The roofs consisted of extremely long, arched tiles, lined up one after the other, and possessing simple, curved protrusions jutting upwards on the building's angles.
On the highest roof, topping the summit of the building, sat a simple, round and pointed dome, highly reminiscent of those seen on Arabian buildings, which bore a flag on its point. The roof below the one with the dome—the middle one—housed a large banner with Fairy Tail's symbol on it, held up by a pair of vertical poles.
The building's large entrance was, again, Arabian in design, with its shape being reminiscent of that of the dome on the summit, and above it was the guild's name, topped by a protruding, stylized heart shape and flanked by a pair of carved fairies. Stylized heart shapes were also visible on the frames of the numerous large pentagonal windows located on each floor, with the top floor housing smaller arched windows, partially covered by banners.
The two of them walked in. The inside was similar to a large lunch hall, and mainly consisted of wood, possessing a parquet floor and a mezzanine held up by wood beams overlooking it. Several long benches and the related tables stretched across its length with a bar at the end, managed by Sorcerer Magazine's Mirajane, who had long white hair, blue eyes, and a red dress. Several other waitresses also assisted her. The request board was located beside the bar.
"Can I help you two with something?" Mirajane asked, curious, giving them a friendly smile.
"Yes. We hear that this guild is the strongest, and like the old saying goes, 'You can't believe everything you hear,' so my comrade and I would like to see it for ourselves," Bladeknight said calmly.
"There's also another old saying—'Be careful what you wish for'," a small old man said jokingly.
"Of course, Master Makarov, but if your guild is not up for it, then we'll be on our way to find a stronger guild," Bladeknight said, equally jokingly.
"All right. Natsu and Erza will fight you," Makarov said, enticed. Two people walked up to him.
One was a slightly tanned, had black eyes, spiky pink-colored hair, and sharp canines. His outfit consisted of a sleeveless gold-trimmed black waistcoat, left open and untucked, exposing his bare chest. A gold-trimmed black cloth was wrapped around his waist, reaching his knees, held by a brown leather belt with an oval-shaped silver buckle. He also wore white knee-length trousers, a thick black wristband on his left wrist, black open-toed sandals, and a scale-patterned white scarf.
Next to him was a young woman with long scarlet hair and a metal breastplate, with a high armored collar and plated shoulder guards with each side being composed of four plates. On the breastplate's left side was the symbol of the Heart Kreuz fashion company—a cross with the edge pointing downwards, having the shape of a heart, and donning the brand's name over the cross's right edge. In addition, the armor's waist guard was composed of three plates, each held up by a simple belt. She also wore sliver gauntlets, a blue skirt, and black boots.
"These two want to see how strong we are, so I'm counting on you two to show them," Makarov said confidently.
"All right! You got it! I'm fired up for a good fight!" the pink-haired boy said excitedly.
"That's good to hear. You won't mind a one-on-one match, then? As much fun as it is to fight with my friend, it will be more exciting to fight alone. What do you say?" Frostburg asked, curious.
"Okay! You're on!" the pink-haired boy said, even more excited.
"Not in here, you two. We should take this outside," the lady said calmly. So, they walked to the wooden doors of the guild and went outside, followed by the other guild members.
Until next time, review or PM me.
