Foreword
NEW THIIIIIINGS! Fairy Tail is neat. One of the few anime shows I actually watch a lot, the other is predominantly JoJo. Another OC fic from me, who's backstory will be explained before the events of the main Fairy Tail story. Anyways back to this, I hope you enjoy Moon's Eye!

(Bold is the narrator dude, italics is for emphasis and spells and bold italics is for titles.) (I don't own Fairy Tail.)

"General Gulak," The young man addressed the burly official next to him, absentmindedly whilst writing in a notebook. "Why does your building even require a basement floor?" He turned and looked up at the mayor through his shaggy silver hair.

This is Shinon Lunehart; a wizard with an inquisitive mind and a silver tongue, his wish is to learn as much as he can about all types of magic…but he has a tendency to research even the most contrived things imaginable.

"Quiet boy, this is for your research." Gulak's gruff voice silenced the youth at his side. They continued to walk down a dimly lit corridor, which began to unnerve the researcher. "Shinon, you told me that you'd do anything for this." The general towered over the Mage. He had cropped brown hair and a thick moustache and a pair of scornful brown eyes, and was wearing a business suit that actually fit the giant of a man, surprisingly.

"…What are you getting at?" Shinon questioned. His magic research was the reason why he became Gulak's assistant, and he did say that he'd do anything to learn. Shinon was not as big as the mayor, not at all; he was above average height for his age, but was leaner than most wizards, with quite pale skin. He wore black pantaloons that cut off at the knee, he wore no shoes but his shins were visibly wrapped in white bandages, he also wore a white and purple shirt underneath two jackets, one was black with violet highlights that had no sleeves and split into thigh-length faulds, over that he wore a black trench coat reaching down to his ankles, which he usually left open and with the hood down, which revealed his thick silvery-white hair that reached to his shoulders, and his piercing violet eyes.

"Anything you said, remember that Shinon." Gulak said staring off down the hallway, finally heading to a steel bolt door. (What the…) Shinon closed his note book and placed it and his pen in one of the many pockets inside trench coat. The general opened the giant door and lit the room, Shinon's eyes widened; there were cells…prison-like cells, four of them, two on each side of the room. Guarding the cells were four animated stone golems, each of them as tall as Gulak.

"…What…is this?" Shinon said as he slowly walked into the room, his eyes scanning the area in shock.

"Second on the right." Gulak said emotionlessly, he pointed a finger. "A research subject." He passed the youth some keys then left the room and left the door shut, but unbolted. Shinon slowly walked over to the aforementioned cell, one of the golems growled at him as he passed.

"The hell…" Despite the dimly lit room, Shinon saw someone in the cell, they were small and had disheveled blue hair, they were hugging their knees and burying their face in their arms. He unlocked the door and slid it open, the person did not respond. He walked in slowly and knelt beside the captive, now he was closer he saw that it was a young woman, a little younger than him, two years give or take, wearing a tattered orange dress. (What the hell is Gulak thinking?) She made no sound, but Shinon saw her quivering. "Miss…" He tried to get her attention, but no response. "…Gulak is not here…do not be afraid…" He heard the groaning of animated stone behind him and snapped his head around and snarled at the golem. "Do anything and I'll turn you all into pebbles!" His eyes narrowing, the threat halting the sentinel as it backed away.

"…Who…" Shinon whipped his around again to the woman who had finally spoke, her voice was hoarse and fearful.

"Someone who's not going to hurt you." He softened his voice, to reassure the captive, she slowly turned her head up to see Shinon, he saw that her face was red from tears, and her brown eyes were shaking. "How long have you been here?"

"…Week…" She struggled to even speak, Shinon quickly reached into his jacket and pulled a large vial of water out and gave it to her. She quickly took it and began to drink quickly, the researcher examined the young lady, she had a petite frame, and she didn't look like she had been fed, or evidently, given water.

"A week? Has Gulak been feeding you?" The woman shook her head in response. "…I'll be right back." He got up and quickly left, glaring at the golems who understood his threat, very clearly. As he hurried back into the main hallways of the barracks he passed Gulak.

"An adequate specimen I hope?" His voice halted Shinon.

"She is weak." He spoke coldly, hoping to convince the general. "I can't learn anything if she dies of malnourishment; I'm getting her food."

"…Do not grow attached boy, she'll be gone once you've learnt from her." Gulak's gruff voice resounded in the room.

"…Why is that?" Shinon asked cautiously.

"Bora will pay a pretty penny for her." The emptiness of the general's voice disgusted Shinon.

"…Not if she is dead." The youth carried on to the pantry of Gulak's barracks. He was the leader of the small mercenary forces in the village that Shinon lived, he had promised the inquisitive wizard that he could learn many things about other wizard's magic if he helped him…but this was not what he had thought. (How long has this been happening?) Shinon's mind raced, he had been working with Gulak for the past three months, but had more people been captive? If he had known could he have helped them? He valued his research, but not over the lives of other people! He quickly rummaged in the pantry, getting multiple loaves of bread, some fruit and more water for the girl. As he headed back, he kept his eyes off of Gulak, and quickly walked back to the cells. As he walked back with supplies in hand, one of the golems groaned at him. "Quiet!" He snapped at it, silencing it from irritating him. As he entered the cell, the young woman looked up at him, still fearful. "Here, eat." He sat beside her and gave her a loaf of bread, she took it and muttered a small thank you before devouring the food quickly.

"Wh-why are…you helping?" Her voice began to return, but was still hoarse and pained. "You're with him aren't you?"

"…Not anymore." He whispered to the young woman to avoid the golem's attention. "What's your name?"

"Levy…McGarden…" She said before drinking some more water.

"I'm Shinon Lunehart." He spoke flatly. "Now," He repositioned himself in front of her and took a deep breath. "Relax, and think of your favourite place, okay?" She nodded and closed her eyes, Shinon closed his own eyes and reached out his right hand slowly placing his thumb, index and middle fingers on Levy's forehead. "Find solace; inside your Mind's Haven." The two opened their eyes and looked around, they were inside a library, it was huge! Shinon stood and helped Levy to her feet, she noticed that his violet eyes were glowing.

"What is this?" Levy was shocked that her voice had fully returned and she didn't feel any pain.

"Do not get too comfortable, this is a mere illusion; a projection of your mind's 'happy place'." Shinon looked around, intrigued. "We are still in the cell, but our minds are in the Illusory World."

"Illusion magic?" Levy regarded, looking at the books on the shelves.

Illusion magic is rarely practiced in the modern day, due to its limited combat potential, but with great practice and skill, it can confound even the strongest of wizards.

"Yes, but now I need you to imagine someone who can help you." He placed a hand on his chin and looked at the bluenette.

"Uh, okay." She closed her eyes and thought of a powerful friend of hers. Next to the two of them, a woman wearing silver armour with scarlet red hair materialised, she did not speak, as she was only Levy's thought.

"Her name?" Shinon inquired, looking over the illusory woman, her crimson hair was incredibly striking in appearance.

"She's Erza Scarlet, one of the strongest wizards at my guild." Shinon smirked at the appropriateness of her name, considering her rose red hair. (So this is the legendary 'Titania'.)

"And your guild?" He himself was not part of a guild, he had never strayed far from Hargeon, he learnt his illusion magic from his father and mother, who were the only wizards he had known, which was why he wanted to research other magic types in the first place.

"Fairy Tail!" She spoke pridefully, remembering her home. (That guild is in Magnolia…a day for the mail to reach, and a few hours train ride from there to Hargeon…)

"…I shall contact her, too many wizards would cause suspicion." He walked back over to Levy and closed his eyes. "Awaken to reality." And almost instantaneously, they were back in the cell sat across each other, his eyes losing their purple glow. "Now eat up, I shall bring you more food later." He stood up and gave a reassuring smile to Levy, who finally returned one of her own. Upon leaving he tore a sheet of paper out from his notebook and wrote down a letter for Erza, he stuffed it back into his pocket and reported to the general.

"What is it boy?" Gulak's harsh demeanour rang through in his address of Shinon.

"I am headed to Hargeon," His own voice was empty, disguising his intentions. "I require some utensils for my experiments." He turned and walked away, but quickly raised his voice. "…Have your golems leave her be; if she is threatened, her cooperation will be minimal." Gulak nodded and dismissed Shinon. After he had left, Gulak sat at his desk and mulled over some thoughts in the back of his mind. (That brat is too nice for his own good…) He put two fingers in his mouth and whistled, beckoning a large brown hawk from the window of his office.

"Keep tabs on him…he could be up to something." The hawk screeched at its orders and flew out of the window it came in.

In the port town of Hargeon.

(The great 'Titania'…now this could be interesting indeed…) Shinon thought as he sealed the magic letter bound for the Fairy Tail guild and gave it to a messenger bird at the post office watching it soar away in the sunset sky.

"Letter for Erza! Erza!" It chirped as it flew off. (Now…for a plan.) He walked through Hargeon's marketplace purchasing items to moderate Levy's condition; blankets, more food and books. Unbeknownst to him, Gulak's hawk was following him over head and spotted the messenger bird, the hawk shrieked as it darted towards the mail bird, but as it would have impacted…it simply phased through. (He cannot think I'm that stupid right?) Shinon smirked, releasing the spell that created the illusory bird, as the real one was much further ahead. (Always be twenty miles ahead of anything and everything, that's what I always say.)

In Gulak's office.

"…So he isn't ratting us out…" Gulak had his hawk perched upon his arm as he observed its thoughts. "…Boy's more evil that I thought! Hahahah!" He guffawed to himself as the hawk screeched, blissfully unaware of Shinon's motives.

"Wake up, Levy." Levy opened her eyes and looked up at Shinon, an empty gaze in his eyes. He draped a blanket over her shoulders, eliciting a blush on the girl's cheeks. "Here." He left a tray of more prepared food by her side and a pile of books, upon seeing them, a light graced her eyes.

"…Books?" Now she began to truly question her captor's kindness, Shinon seemed to care, but his dead eyes never changed, was he just baiting her?

"Your Mind's Haven was that library; am I wrong to have thought that you like to read?" He stood with his arms crossed.

"Thank you." Levy responded curtly.

"Be ready," Shinon spoke quickly and quietly. "Rest up." He left Levy with her new comforts and left for his own quarters in Gulak's barracks, no other soldiers were present; they were out on duty, leading Shinon to think that was the only reason Gulak showed him the cells. (…Two birds with only one stone…) He looked out of his window and saw the sun fall over the horizon, he reached into one of his many pockets and pulled out a black strip of fabric, he tied it on his head letting it blindfold his eyes completely. He laid down upon his bed and rested, hiding his eyes from the moon's light.
