(Before i start, i will be returning to Malon's Sweet Dream but i haven't had the urge to work on it. Hopefully writing a different story will help with it. Thank you for understanding 3)
(I will be referring to Edolas Jellal as Mystogan during this)
Mystogan's Backstory
Mystogan was born as king Faust's son and prince to Edolas, He spent most of his life in his father's shadow.
When he turned 6, Mystogan heard of a concept called guilds that his father outlawed a while ago, while researching guilds he learned of a thing called magic. He went to his father to ask to learn the arts of magic. "Father, i want to learn magic" Mystogan said sternly
"Very well, but tell me. How do you know of such a power?" King Faust asked
"I overheard the townsfolk talking about guilds so i did research" Mystogan said with pride that was quickly shut out by his father's angry face.
"I will get the court mage to assist you right away" Faust was annoyed at Mystogan learning about illegal guilds.
Later that day
The mage came to Mystogan's room with a staff. "What's that?" Mystogan asked excitedly. The staff had a ring at the end of it with a wrap around the base of the circle where the staff meets.
"This is a magic staff, it is very powerful and must not be cost at another person unless in battle." The mage distressed over giving such a powerful weapon to a young kid.
"How does it work and what does it do?" Mystogan was happy he was given so much power to learn with.
"This staff is capable of stealing another person's life force (later in earthland it will be magic power), it is also able to cast 2 offense spells. The first one is able to launch a magic ball at the enemy and the second place a magic rune above them. To use the staff you raise and point the staff at the enemy and the magic works itself." The mage explained to Mystogan. "We will go and ask king Faust where we can practice". Mystogan and the mage walked to the throne and asked the king where they can try the staff.
"Take a few of the captured exceeds to the courtyard and use them as targets" The king always does these types of acts and Mystogan hated it. They took some exceeds and tried the staff, Mystogan wished farewell to each of them as they either got their life drained or blown up. Mystogan was clearly a natural born staff user as he possessed high power with them.
"I forgot to mention the final ability of the staff, it opens a portal to Earthland called Anima. You raise the staff and yell ANIMA, You cannot, CANNOT use this without permission." The mage stressed over this.
Mystogan's 7th Birthday
The whole castle was celebrating the young prince's birthday. "Son, im so proud on how much you've grown up and now able to wield magic" Faust said. "Now how about we go test it on the exceeds. The royal army marched out with dozens of exceeds. Mystogan was furious.
"I demand you release them at once!" Mystogan yelled. All of a sudden a dagger flew towards him and struck Mystogan in the chest. An exceed known as Pantherlily rushed to his aid and flew him away as the guards slaughters the rest of the exceeds at the king's orders because he suspected it was them. Lily flew him to the castle mage and explained what happened, the mage healed him with a crystal. "You should feel better soon" the mage said.
"Why does he do this? Mystogan said with a sadness in his voice.
"He sees this as a sure way to maintain power among the people, we've lived under fear of the exceeds and now we have a leader who can fight back" The mage explained. "He has one plan to open his own anima to harvest unlimited magic power from earthland, unfortunately it will cost the life of many from there. Our people have been opening small Animas for centuries now"
"Is there a way to close them?"Mystogan asked
"You can use you staff and say ANIMA CLOSE right in the eye of it" he explained, the mage has become loyal to Mystogan over Faust so he is willing to tell him this.
"Thank you and Goodbye" Mystogan said as he walked out, he knew he couldn't let this happen any longer. Mystogan went to the courtyard and pulled out his staff and pointed it skyward… "ANIMA!" he yelled and a ferocious portal opened up and it absorbed him.
Earthland
Mystogan fell a short distance right in front of a girl who had blue hair, she looked slightly younger than him. She ran over to him "Oh my, are you ok? She asked.
"Im fine" Mystogan replied "My name is Jellal, and you are?"
"I'm Wendy" She replied with a smile
"So why are you out here all by yourself?" he asked
"I'm looking for my dragon, her name is Grandena. She went missing earlier this year" she looked sad as she said that.
"A dragon?" Mystogan was confused because he did not know what they were. "I'm on a journey to cl… find a friend" He knew that mentioning the animas would mess things up in earthland for him. Wendy and Mystogan travelled around looking for the dragon but Mystogan was on a different mission. He was trying to find animas to close them. A few days later Mystogan sensed one. He seen a huge black cloud with lightning everywhere in it.
"I've always wanted to join a guild" Wendy said out of nowhere. Mystogan was confused because he thought guilds were banned then he remembered he wasn't in Edolas.
"Well let's get you to one" Mystogan said so he can continue his journey alone, he wouldn't want wendy to get hurt. At night Mystogan looked at the anima and noticed it's gotten bigger. Wendy was completely passed out and wouldn't wake up so he picked her up and carried her to a nearby village. He found the village leader and asked him if Wendy could stay there and be a member of the guild. He agreed and Mystogan left.
A bit more than a month later
Mystogan was travelling trying to find another anima, by now he's closed about a dozen small ones. He ran into an old small man. "Say boy, are you all alone?" The old man asked.
"Yes, im on a journey" He replied
"I'm Master Makarov, im the master of the Fairy Tail guild, if you have nowhere to go or need help on your quest we can help"
"My name is Mystogan, im a staff wielder" Mystogan said. "It would be nice to have some assistance"
"Come with me then" Makarov replied. "You'll make a fine addition but i have a question"
"What is it? Mystogan asked
"What does you staff do? If you need more we have plenty, we've collected many over the years" Makarov thought the staff couldn't be all that powerful.
"It drains an enemy's power and have 2 offense spells, it also have a hidden power that is required for my journey" Mystogan explained
"My where would you get such a staff?" Makarov was shocked at all it can do.
"I got it from my homeland" Mystogan replied. They talked more until they got to the guild hall.
5 Years later
Mystogan was among the most powerful in the guild at the mere age of 12. He thought about Wendy everyday and she was his motivation to keep going. Mystogan has picked up some more magic types as well. During his S Class trial he didn't choose to have a partner, no one has ever even seen him as he's been out closing animas. Mystogan is now an S Class wizard of FAIRY TAIL!
