Hello, hello! It's been awhile. Welcome to this brand new story! Some of you might wonder, "What about your other Fairy Tail fanfic?" Well, I'm here to say that I've sadly decided to drop it. I honestly didn't know where I was gonna go with that story and on another note, I really didn't like it. So a few minutes from now, I will be deleting that story and starting this new story in which I have high hopes for.
Now with that out of the way, sit back and hopefully enjoy!

Not many ask the question, "How did the lands and countries of Ishgar come to be?"
Some would answer, "Why the six gods of Earthland of course! They created the lands!"
Titan, the Archaean.
Leviathan, the Hydraean.
Shiva, the Glacian.
Ramuh, the Fulgurian.
Ifrit, the Infernian.
Bahamut, the Draconian.
But what about civililization as we know it? The kingdom of Fiore for example. How did it all come together?
X277, one powerful man would unite under one banner and he himself would become king and lead the human race to prosperity, protect them from the dangers of the world. And according to legends, the six gods had chosen that very man, his bloodline, his future successors to lead mankind. From then on, this would be known as the era of the Lucis Kings, or more commonly known as the Golden Era. Human expansion began throughout Ishgar, and for the next few hundred years, a time of peace, protection, and order would overcome the world.
It was up to the future generations to watch over Ishgar. But all that would come to a stop. More than 13 generations later, X589, the Lucis bloodline suddenly vanished. Ishgar was in dismay. Without their leader they didn't know what to do. The few brave souls to stand up and lead the world would split up the lands into kingdoms, each kingdom united under one ruler. Without one emperor to rule them all it would be seemingly easier to govern the good people of Ishgar. With the land split into kingdoms, it has now become the world of Ishagr we know and love today.
When a Lucis King dies, their soul transfers onto a ring called the Ring of Lucii. The ring itself is passed on, generation after generation. The current wearer of the ring can even commune with the previous kings of Lucis. And according to legend, the Ring of the Lucii was bestowed upon the kings of Lucis by the six gods themselves. The deceased kings of Lucis are entombed in hidden roral tombs, and leave behind weapons of their legacy known as royal arms to empower their descendants who seek them out. Only those of the Lucian lineage can brandish the royal arms, which glow when grasped by their rightful wielders.
Royal arms, weapons that contain the power of the light. Weapons said to be so strong, it could even pierce through dragon scales. And as they contain the power of light they are most effective against demons.
It was once prophesied, that one man of the royal Lucian bloodline would arise one day, possessing the power of the king, wielding all the royal arms of the past Lucian Kings before him. The coming of the True King, The King of Kings, bringer of peace, destroyer of all things evil. But when? It was never specified.
"When darkness veils the world, the King of Light shall come."
X776
In an isolated location of Fiore, was a small and peaceful town. There, lived an 11 year old boy by the name of Alexander, black hair and bright blue eyes. He was an optimistic boy, filled with many hopes and dreams like all children alike.
Alexander was an adventurous one, he'd explore the nearby forest everyday. He was currently out and about with one of his good friends from the town, Cyrus, a young boy like him with blonde hair and green eyes.
"Hey Cyrus! Come check this out!" Said Alexander. Cyrus came to his side.
"What is it Alex?" He asked.
"Over there! You see that cave! I bet it has some kind of hidden treasure there! We should check it out!" He said.
"Are you sure? We've already gone far enough away from the town, I think it's time we head back now."
"Oh come on! We'll just check it out real quickly then head back, okay?"
"*Sigh*, fine."
"Alright! Let's go!"
Inside the cave
"Oh man, this is pretty cool." Alex said.
"And creepy..." Cyrus added. "Come on Alex, there's nothing here, we should leave before everyone starts to worry."
"Look! A door!" Alex pointed and ran towards the door. It was a pretty well kept and clean door.
"I doubt we could get this open-" Cyrus was cut off as Alex simple opened the door
"Well, it seems like someone forgot to lock the doors." Alex said, then headed into the dark room.
As the two boys entered the room then suddenly lit up a bit. Then, what caught their immediate attention was what looked like a lying statue of a man on a table or tomb of some sort in the center of the small room, the statue also seemed to have a sword in its possession.
"Whoa... This is like some kind of... Sacred tomb..." Alex said.
"Alex, I really don't think we should even be here.
"Relax will ya, we're only be here for a few more minutes. I just want to something..." Alex proceeded to step forward, towards the statue, and reached out his hands.
"A-Alex! Wait, I really don't think you should doing that!" Cyrus said.
Alex ignored Cyrus, Alex came close enough where his hands were hovering over the statue and sword.
"Come on, there's nothing here for us. Let's leave." Cyrus said.
Alex stood quietly for a moment. "O... Okay-" Alex was cut off when a suddenly flash of blue light came from the weapon, the sword was glowing bright blue. It then started to hover in the air for a short time.
"A-Alex!" Cyrus shouted, not knowing what was gonna happen.
Alex was too mesmerized at the moment to say anything. Then it happened. The sword shot towards Alex's chest, like it was gonna stab him, but it didn't. It had went through him, then Alex suddenly bursted blue light from his body. The sword that was in the statues hands, was now circling around him, the sword looked almost like a hologram. Then it disappeared.
The boys were both too shocked to say anything. Alex suddenly felt a surge of power overcome him. He felt... Ecstatic, powerful, for some odd reason.
"Alex! Are you okay?!"
"Y-Yeah, I'm fine." He responded.
"So... What should we do...?" Asked Cyrus.
"I... Don't know. I suppose we go back."
"I'm not talking about that. I'm saying if we should tell anyone this..."
"...I... I think my parents might know something... They're librarians, so they might at least know something... You should keep quiet about this, okay?" Alex said.
"Yeah, alright." Cyrus agreed.
"Then I suppose we go back home." Alex said.
"Let's. The others must be worried."
Alex's Home
"Mom, dad, I'm home." Alex said as he entered the kitchen, finding his parents.
"Ah! Alex, good you're home. I'm just about to get dinner ready." His mother said, by the kitchen counter.
"And where have you been young man?" His dad said, sitting by the dining table.
"O-Oh, me and Cyrus went out for a bit."
"*Sigh*, you really are such an explorer, you know?" His mother said.
Alex sheepishly rubbed the back of his head in response.
"Mom... Dad... There's... Something I want to tell you..."
His parents both perked up at this. Alex then proceeded to tell the events that happened earlier. After he finished, his parents expression turned into shock.
"A-And what happened to the sword?" His dad asked, like he knew something.
"It just... Disappeared. I'm not sure where it went."
"It... Could be some kind of magic you discovered." His mom said.
"Magic..." Alex mused, he remembered reading books on magic but that's about it.
"Could you... Try and summon it...?" His dad asked.
"Summon?" Alex questioned.
"Yeah, just... Think about what the sword looked like and imagine you holding it in your hands." His dad answered.
"O-Okay... I'll try..." He said. Alex brought out one hand in front of him and imagined. No second sooner, a flash of blue came. The sword from earlier materialized right in front of him, in his hands. Alex held the sword, and his eyes widen. Although, his parents had a sad expression on their face.
"*Sigh*, it seems like that time came a lot sooner than we thought..." His dad said, while his mother stayed silent.
"D-Dad? What do you mean?" Alex questioned.
"I suppose we need to tell him..." His dad stood from his chair, walked up to Alex. He crouched in front of him and put a hand on his shoulder. Alex felt some kind of chill go up his spine.
"What we're about to tell you is about the truth." His father said.
"The... Truth?"
"You... You were adopted. From the day you were born, a man came to this town with a basket which had you in it. The man told us to take care of you, he told us to tell you everything we're about to tell you right now until you were ready." His dad said.
Alex couldn't speak, he was not expecting this. He was too shocked.
"Your full name is Alexander Lucis Caelum. And you are the descendant of the royal bloodline of the kings of Lucis..."
"Royal...? King...? Lucis...? But... Why?! I don't understand!" It was much to take in for the boy.
"I know, it's a lot to take in, just... Let me explain." His father explained everything, Alex's lineage, the coming of the True King, everything.
Few Minutes Later
"So I'm some kind of powerful royalty?" Alex said. "And I'm..." Alex balled his hand into a fist. "...This so called True King...?"
"...That's right." His 'father' said.
Alex looked down to his feet, he didn't know what to do, his mind was trying to wrap around the whole reveal of his true lineage. His purpose... His destiny... He'd always wanted to explore the world. But now that he knows this... He doesn't know that to think anymore.
"Even so..." Alex started. His parents perked up. "Even if you aren't my biological parents... I'll still consider you guys my mom and dad. You were the ones that raised me, taught me everything..."
His parents were shocked and surprised by this. They didn't know what he was gonna say, but after he said this, there worries were let to rest, his mother teared up slightly and she hugged him. Alex hugged back.
His father looked at him like a proud father. He then remembered what the man said that day.
"This boy will become the True King, when the time comes... He will arise... and take his rightful place."
"Alex." His father caught his attention, he had a book and ring in his hands. "This ring, is the ring of the Lucii, passed down from generation to generation of the royal blood. Anyone who is not of royal descent that put the ring on, their bodies are destroyed as the ring immediately rejects them." His father explained.
Alex gulped in fear.
"And this... This is the book left for you. It has instructions to wield your power." He said.
"My... Power..." Alex mused. "Mom, dad... I... Want to go... Out into the world, learn magic, maybe join a guild of wizards... Find my purpose... And... Fulfill my destiny as... The True King..." He said, determinedly.
...Or did he truly mean what he said on that last part?
The next morning
"Well, looks like I'm off." Alex said as stood by the gates of the town with his parents and mayor. Alex had on a medium sized backpack and a duffle bag. He was also given some jewels for food and necessities.
"I can't believe I'm agreeing to this..." His mother said.
His father chuckled, "Please dear, this is what he wants. Let the boy do what he loves."
"I know, and I support it, but I can't help to be worried, he's only 11, just about to turn 12 in a few months. Oh no! What if he gets lost! Or even worse, die!" His mother freaked out.
"Do you really think that Alex of all people will get lost? And I know he's capable of amazing things. He won't die that easily." His father reassured her.
"And how would you know?" She retaliated.
"Call it fathers intuition." He answered.
"That doesn't make me any more assured than it has!"
"Please mom, don't worry so much about me. I promise you that I won't die or get lost. Just have a little faith." Alex said.
His mother crossed her arms. "You promise?"
"I swear and cross my heart." He said.
"Well... Alright. But if you do die, then I won't forgive you." She said.
"A little much don't you think." The mayor mumbled. He watched in amusement and sadness at the family.
"Alexander." The mayor said.
"Yes?"
"Please do be safe out there and feel free to come back and visit, you are always welcome." He said.
"Of course, I'll be safe. And... Thanks." Alex smiled.
"I guess I'm on my way..." Alex said and started to turn his body.
"Wait!" His mother said. Alex stopped and looked back, his mother brought out a golden pendant with a blue gem and put it on Alexander.
"Soemthing to remember us bye." She said. Both his mother and father then hugged him in a group hug. Alex smiled softly and returned the gesture.
"Alex!" Yelled a voice. Alex perked up to see who it was.
"Cyrus!"
"So, you thought you were just gonna leave without saying goodbye?" Cyrus said.
Alex blushed in embarrassment. "S-Sorry." He said sheepishly. "Then I guess... This is it."
"I guess it is." Cyrus said. He then lifted his hand in the shape of a fist, expecting to bump fists. Alex's eyes slightly widen in surprise but then smiled and returns his gesture, bumping fists.
They both smile.
"See you later bro. And make sure you come back to visit!" Cyrus said.
"Yeah, I will. See you later too bro." Alex said. "I'll miss you all."
"And we'll miss you." They all say in unison.
Alex smiled, then turned his back and started walking away.
"Oh! And make sure you eat healthy and stay in shape! Love you!" His mother said.
Alex turned his head and smiled once again. "Yeah, yeah, I got it mom! Love you too!" He waved.
With that, they watched the young boys' retreating figure until he disappeared into the distance.
"Please, stay safe my little angel." His mother prayed.
