Hi guys, sorry I have been AFK for so long. College life was so fast that it just caught up and I didn't have anytime to update my fics. But don't worry; I ain't giving up on them yet. If you enjoyed Fate Zero Survival, stay tuned because the next chapter is on its way already. For now, I will be writing something that has been stuck in my head for a while. I had been reading quite a few SYOC guild Fics and I thought let's have a go at it. Both FZS and this will be updated once weeks since the holidays are here for me, so YAY! So please give me lots of support and send in an OC character. Form will be located at the bottom of this chapter. Now on to it.
Prologue
"So you're finally retiring eh?" Makarov asked the figure in front of him as they walked down one of the many hallways in the magic council building.
"Haven't you been pestering me for it, Pops?" The Figure responded with a chuckle without turning back. Compared to Makarov, this figure practically towered over him, standing at 6'5. He had a well-toned body from years of physical training and combat practice. His skin however was a deadly pale shade of white, something that he himself did not understand why. He looked as though he was still in his mid-thirties though his age was nearly double of that. Even so, he did not show any signs of fatigue and wrinkles, as though defying the laws of ageing. He had an angular face with silver mid-waist hair and a short untrimmed beard. His eyes were gold and piercing, able to fixate someone with fear should they stare too long into them. He donned a black exorcist's cloak that had a golden ornaments and fashioning along the sides. On the right side of his chest was the image of a silver flaming skull, a fitting image if anyone knew the type of magic he employed. This was accompanied by a set of white baddy trousers that were slotted into a pair of black steel toed boots. His wore a single black glove on his right hand that had ethereal chains coiled around it to act as a limiter for his magic.
"I don't want to be called Pops by you, Glaive. You're almost the same age as me." Makarov retorted. That day had started out as a regular meeting of the 10 Wizards Saints at the main council building in Ea. Most of the reports were quite standard. Some guilds being overly-destructive (you know who), dark guilds being more active and a whole bunch of other bullshit politics. The only surprise that came was the announced retirement of one of its members. He was one who commanded much respect even amongst the older members and members of the magic council itself. His departure was sure to be missed.
Glaive Heathcliff let out a small laugh. "Time sure passes quickly. I still recall the day when I was first sent here. So how's my daughter doing?"
"Oh Seras? Apart from breaking the guild walls every now and then, she's doing fine. She's made a lot of new friends, especially with Natsu and Gray although she's a few years younger than them." Makarov gave a wide smile in which Glaive responded with one of his own. "She will be dearly missed in Fairy Tail, Glaive."
"I know, but I think it's about time for me to settle down as well. I can't keep relying on you and your guild forever. It's time for me to start acting as a father and educate her properly." With that, Glaive let out a small sigh, something which did not go unnoticed by Makarov. It was hard to watch an old friend leave after all, having spent many years working together as a team.
"Daddy!" came a small squeal as a smaller figure ran up and tackled Glaive in the chest.
"Hi, sweetie," Glaive said as he held up his daughter with his arms, bringing a smile to her face as she laughed heartily. Seras was 10 years old then. She had short chestnut brown hair and wore a small hair clip that was her mother's last present for her. She had a slightly oval face with her eyes being the same color as her hair. She was dressed in a white tube dress that sported flower patterns and a pair of red sandals.
"So where are you headed to Glaive," Makarov asked. The other mage paused to think as he cradled his daughter before turning to look at Makarov.
"I was thinking of somewhere back near my hometown in Valgore. They don't have a guild there so why not. It would be a good place to get started." Glaive replied. He had wanted to set up his own guild for a while. A place for him and his daughter to return to. A place of fun, joy and laughter for everyone and anyone that joined. A second Fairy Tail.
"Well, it was pleasure knowing you Glaive. If you do ever need help, you know where we are, and always will be." Makarov gave a small sad smile as he extended his hand to Glaive.
Glaive has a sad smile on his face as well. As he extended his hand, the black Fairy Tail insignia on his arm shone once more for the last time. "Goodbye, old friend." He replied as he shook the hand of his former master and teacher. With that he turned and never looked back, not knowing he wouldn't see Makarov for almost another decade.
Present Day (10 Years Later)
Welcome to Valgore, a town located up North of Magnolia beyond the snowy mountains of Mount Hakone. The town is a hotspot for most travelers because of the nature of it trade. While most towns traded in goods and fishery, this town specialized in the sale of magic items. Most aspiring mages usually gather in this town to discuss various forms of magic as well as to buy magical items to get started on their journey as a mage. The town is fairly large, almost twice the size of Magnolia. As such the population of the town is also by no means small, coupled by the large number of travelling mages; there is never a time whenever the town is not bustling with activity. As the town is always bustling with travelers, there are many small cafes and inns that line the streets of Valgore. Most of these buildings are at least two stories high to accommodate more people.
Despite the large number of travelling mages, there is only a single mages' guild in Valgore, named Scarlet Nova. The guild was founded only 7 years ago and is located in the middle of the town center, making it easily accessible from any side of town. The guild itself was modelled after an Italian Villa with brown tiled roofs and cobbled walls made of stone. It comprised of two separate buildings.
The first building was C shaped and faced the entrance of the guild. Large wooden doors served as the gates to the first building. Upon entry, one would be greeted with the sight of an open courtyard, surrounded by the buildings left and right wings which served as the dorms for members of the guild. This was the place whereby most mages would practice their magic given the open space and all. The dorms were also made of cobblestone, equipped with wooden stairs and amber colored light that shone brightly in the dark.
The second building was located further beyond the courtyard, connected by a walkway which spans from the center building of the dorms. The main guild building had a cozier interior that was lined with cobblestone and carpeted floors. The guild hall was naturally bright, having a ceiling made of reinforced glass lacrima though there were chandeliers of light lacrima hanging around when it got dark. It comprised of three floors though the third floor was out of bounds for all members except for the guild master and his family.
The first floor mainly served as pub for the members to drink and relax in, having been equipped with a bar and various tables and benches. To the far right of the guild hall was the request board that was framed in wood and covered in requests from various clients. Apart from the bar, there were two other smaller shops. One of them was a magic shop which specialized in the sale of magical items such as trinkets and lacrima. The second was an enhancement shop for mages to repair or upgrade their equipment. Both shops generated revenue from not only members but from travelers as well due to them being well known for quality and service in town.
Behind the bar was a staircase that led to the second floor. The second floor was basically an overhang that overlooked the first floor. It was mainly empty except for a few sofas and tables. To the back of the second floor was an office which was only accessible by the S class mages of the guild. In the room was a round table and chairs meant for their regular meetings and the walls around it were adorned with the portraits of all 5 members. Behind the end of the table was the mission board for the S-class missions though members had to report to the guild master before taking on any mission.
Glaive stepped forward as he watched his guild function from the second floor. This was exactly what he had pictured 7 years ago when he left the Magic Council. "Look Makarov, isn't this wonderful? If only you could be here to see this." Glaive thought to himself with a smile on his face. Scarlet Nova had grown from a small number of mages to a bustling center of activities, just like how it was when he first joined Fairy Tail.
A miniature explosion erupted somewhere below him, bringing him out of his thoughts. As he glanced over the railing, a small sigh to escape his lips. It seems that no matter where he went, the same things will always happen.
"GOD DAMMIT YOU IDIOTS! HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I SAID TO TAKE THINGS OUTSIDE!" he hollered at the culprit who apologized before bolting out of the guild hall. Yup, some things just don't change after all.
