Chapter 1; Valkyire
Fairy Tail.
A guild located near the edge of Magnolia, infamous for its recklessness and destructive ways. However, there is more to this mage guild than its outer shell precieves. It is fairly destructive, noticeably having to replace chairs and tables on a daily basis, however, these fights are not out of anger. They are out of friendship. No, this place, is more of a family to all of its members. Of course, no outsider could tell until you walk through the guild doors into the main hall. Though all members might not be close to one another, there is always a moment when they will comfort each other in the time of need.
That is how Fairy Tail works. When you delve into the lives of many of its members, core or minor, you can find many of different and.. interesting people. The most commonly known are famous for their natrouceus acts commonly destroying towns on their own. Then, there happens to be quite a few others.
The first of these less infamous people, happen to be Tabitha Swanpool. The platinum blonde was sitting in the corner, resting against a newer member and seemingly flirting with him. Why? No one really could tell, but that always seemed to be how she got information out of men, but if there was an ulterior motive to it no one could figure it out. No soul has tried to stop her, knowing that she'll just move to the next victim in or out of sight of the guild, so they all just leave her be.
Next was Athena Flagrantia, like one of the most famous members Natsu Dragneel, she happened to be a fire dragon slayer. How? Even if Natsu never met her, maybe it was just a mere coincidence, or there are more of those kind of dragons. However, there are many possibilities to this endless question so it had always been left at that.
The third one is more of a mystery than the others. Rin, who's last name is unknown to even Master Markarov, was always found alone at one of the darkest tables in the corner just sitting and waiting. Possibly for a good job to come up, but, that was unknown as to why she was the quietest member of them all. Sometimes the only way a person would know that Rin even was at the guild was the dark green eyes that seemed to pierce those who looked in her direction.
Mizu Clawlust. Now, out of all these figures she could be considered the most dangerous. Anyone who would try to befriend her would be shot away with harsh words or her death glare. It varied person to person. Despite this the more perverted side of the guild fawned over her form with lust filled stares from afar, seeing as her upperbody was more revealing than anything else, and even then the skinny jeans that she commonly wore didn't help her either.
Lastly, there was Valkyrie Bloodrun. Braided purple hair, dark green eyes, and despite the darkness her magic makes most others think there is more light inside her heart. Her past was slightly able to be picked apart and pieced back together into various scenarios, though she never confirmed any of the made up stories that somehow revolved around death and fire.
Noticeably, all of these girls are different. None of them match or have mingled with one another, despite the parts of their personalities are all different but have a part that is similar to one another- their love for the guild. Its not like this love is unknown to each and every member, as it is felt by each and single one of them rather they realize it or not. The strong feeling is something that will remain in their heart for forever and eternity. That is what connects each and every member to one another.
She definitely didn't appreciate the beams of light that covered her eyes when she first woke up in the morning. It did represent the start of another day as a member of Fairy Tail, but with her plans to take another mission that very day she hoped her burn scar would not act up again like it had last time. Sitting up from her bed in Fairy Hills, she stretched side to side with her waist length purple hair getting in her way. She first started with her left arm reaching out to her right side, then her other arm to the parallel side of that. This process repeated herself until the pressure in her shoulders was releaved and she knew she could get out of bed without feeling a little faint.
Because of this she was swiftly able to change into a dark green tank top, with a string tied around her neck supporting it up. Black and loose ankle length pants, a pair of brown traveling boots, and her beloved red knee length coat. She felt best in this attire, especially when her coat kept her arm covered from the past and helping her not drift back into the past and only into the future. She looked down at her bare hands for a moment, before shoving them temporarily into her pockets recalling the images that had swarmed her mind that day five years ago.
The gun, the piercing sound that stopped the fire, the blood that she had visualized on her hands straight afterwards. The smells of death and malice that filled her nostrils, the burnt wood of her old home around her, hidden beneath the burnt corpses of her parents, and the seemingly forever bleeding body of her brother Dai who had caused this all. Then Roy... who had disappeared that very day and she hadn't seen him since, to which she presumed him dead.
She shock her head, pulling a hand out of her pocket to slam the wall with her fist. She didn't know why she had to think of it then but no matter what she could not forget what she had done. Valkyrie had murdered her older brother, in her opinion in good cause but to another in cold blood. If only others had known what was written on that letter...
Valkyrie ran into the bathroom and splashed water onto her face, before cleaning the cold and refreshing water off her face with a light and bright green towel. Since she was here, she braided her hair into its usual fashion. Thrown to the right, while it remained loose enough that it didn't strain the back of her head, but not to loose where it would not fall out easily. With her mind cleared, she packed a small bag with her normal travel necessities knowing that she would be going out today, and left her 100,000 jewel rent home and headed down to the mage guild she enjoyed dearly.
Fairy Tail. For her this place was one of comfort which allowed her to be freed from the shackles of the past. She knew, though in a way silently, and maybe some more direct, that plenty of the members had emotional problems like her or something troublesome that haunted them from their past.
She took a deep breath, the air around her fresh and clean. The walk from home to the guild had not been long to where she would be at the entrance within minutes. Valkyrie stepped inside, her eyes suddenly widening as she was forced back out by an impending chair that had been thrown. Two boys, one with black hair and the other being a pinkette looked blankly, before heading back to the large fight they had been in.
She was pretty mad, when she stood back up, to say the least. When she was back on her feet she slowly went in the direction of the fight ready to give them both a piece of her mind despite the results.
"Shadow Make: Scythe," she mumbled, the shadows forming around her hand and forming into the very weapon she described. Of course it was nothing like a real scythe, part of the real damage from its blade lowered but it was still dangerous enough. She swung at the pinkette known as Natsu, catching him off guard from two incoming attacks instead of just the ice.
He fairly managed to avoid the scythe, however the ice was another story as it hit him the head and forced him to fly back towards the bar because of its weight. He stood back up, like most people would guess and charged back in. She dropped the scythe, finding it not as effective today as she had hoped.
"Shadow Make: Shadow Bolts," upon these words a ball of shadow engulfed her hands and she sent flung her hands out one towards each of the boys. Both of the boys had been hit as a small amount of smoke appeared from the hits they each took to the chest.
What happened next surprised her, to say the least.
"Valkyrie," a old and deep said causing her to stop in her tracks. "I need you to get over here, now. Mizu, Athena, Rin, and Tabitha, you come over here to."
Valkyrie blinked, but each of the boys took this opportunity to punch her. Inches away from impact she rolled to the side, stuck her tongue out, before angrily marching over to the bar where the midget man sat. Valkyrie, while waiting on the others, could only pout.
She had REALLY wanted to do a little more damage on them; they hit her with a chair after all.
