Wendy, Cold Steal

Light Winds

1


"Sky Dragon Roar!" Echoed throughout the woods of Magnolia as a tired little girl fell on her butt exhausted and internally defeated. Her attempt to topple a tree with her Sky Dragon Slayer magic failed. The wind magic, while it was comparable a hurricane wasn't nearly powerful enough yet for what she wanted to accomplish. It was a sunny, cold winter day with not even a hint of natural wind in the air. Stagnant, cold, and bitter. The calmness and silence of woods taunted her.

She hated being alone and being weak, especially after all the training she had put herself through since she joined Fairy Tail, her new magic guild, and home. It's a powerful guild filled with many impressive and determined wizards left her feeling out-of-place, these days however, everyone just talked to her when they needed an injury healed.

Just a few day ago one guild member referred to her as the guild Band-Aid, then went off to rant about how manly injuries are.

All her life she had been abandoned and left alone. By her parents, by her adoptive parent the sky dragon Grandine, by her dear friend Jellal, and forced to watch all her friends from the Cait Shelter guild just vanish into nothing before her eyes one at a time.

Exposing that they were all just illusions in the first place. She had to be strong, or else the world would just eat her up and spit her into the rabble of society…

No… I won't be weak anymore… I won't be! She stood up, tears starting to roll down her cheek and covered in cold sweat. She clenched her hand into a fist forming a gray cloud around it. This spell will do it. It had better… She whipped her fist back and slung the ball forward "Sky Dragon Bolt!" The cloud shot at the tree leaving a trail behind it, almost like a comet. It hit the mighty oak tree creating a powerful and windy shockwave around it sending bark and wood chips in all directions. She used a new spell she had learned months ago. Clearly it was very effective.

However when all the snow and wood chips cleared she opened her eyes to see the severely damaged tree still standing, albeit with a large chunk about the size of her missing from its side. "Huh…" The last of her magic for the day, she fell back into the snow, annoyingly on a stick that snapped with her landing.

I'll never be strong enough to survive any real fights with my friends again.. Take on quests by myself or make it as a wizard apparently. Four months of hard training and mymagic isn't any more powerful. Dammit I've been defeated by oak. A tree. A TREE beat me. I don't know what to do with myself anymore. Maybe I should just lay in the snow forever and become one with the ground. Be defeated by that too, why don't I just die! That way the only person I can disappoint is an undertaker for having to make such a small coffin!

"DAMMIT!" She screamed tears pouring out like the water around Juvia's apartment every morning.

"The ground looks pretty cold Wendy, brutal."
I know that voice. Her eye's shot open and there he was looking down into her eyes, which had almost swollen with tears of defeat.

Gajeel!
