A(Without" ") - Character's thoughts

The sudden cold air of Fall... It felt later than usual for the season to come. But when you live in a nation known for changing weather, its something normal to think about. Still just yesterday it was normal enough weather to not wear warmer clothes for once, however as per usual the weather just flips causing allergies to occur for many.

Luckily I already gotten use to the change of the seasons but there were still many students who stayed home it seemed, not many were walking to his school as he usually sees, and no he is not late. He was reading a book bag over his shoulder as he walked to school.

Oh right introductions... Yanno Ayata nothing out of the ordinary is his name, brownish hair, tall, a bit lean but has quite a bit of strength to him, but nothing major in terms of a fight or sport. In fact he is more of an intelligent and silent type of person. Loud at times but not someone who would put his time in playing or learning a sport.

He just turned the page of his book as he walked through the gates of his school, yes a Japanese School that is why he walked here which seems to be the norm for his school to do as there isn't many roads leading to the school, it is mainly a school one has to walk up to.

At the very least one is met with quite the large and spacious school once they arrive filled with many things to do before classes start. The school itself is specially known for supporting a variety of clubs and acts like a college a bit in terms of the atmosphere as many students also get a free period along with their lunch here.

Taikoku Academy is the name of the school itself as he walked by kids enjoying a nice conversation or playing a game on benches or in the fields as he walked into the campus. People were talking about allergies, homework, upcoming events. Of course rumors and gossip was always happening around the school, most of the time its about a transfer student or a couple dating supposedly.

He sighs most times hearing this however he lets people talk to him about rumors returning 'I see' as his usual answer to them not really interested in the rumors unless there is something special about them. Regardless though he opened up his locker to switch his shoes when he sees something fall out of the locker with a shine.

He looked down to see a necklace on the ground with the head of a dragon on it. "Whats this doing in my locker?" I ask myself but felt the need to pick it up and examine it. I move it around in my hand a bit before thinking a bit. "A gift?" He asked himself unsure if he had any romantic admirers but why would someone go out and give him this?

He sighed a bit but slipped the necklace on around his neck then checked the time before closing his locker putting on his school shoes then began to walk around the said school heading to class making sure the necklace was under his buttoned shirt. The necklace unknown to him and many others began to shine.

School itself was normal though, normal day nothing special, classrooms were empty for the most part though due to many students being sick which made the lessons special ones or none at all due to teachers being out as well so an easy day was turned into a slow one quickly.

Regardless it was lunch and he was enjoying a small boxed lunch he prepared himself, he was eating his rice when he looked out the window for a minute seeing students hanging out in the campus below.

He didn't really have much in the way of friends maybe a couple of people he talks to now and then but no definite friends, mainly since he just focuses on work first and really no play for the most part.

Regardless his eyes shifted up to the sky as he continued to eat his rice then looked down after hearing some sort of shouting. He noticed a bunch of the school's bullies chasing after a poor kid, it seemed the kid had gotten beaten up badly and is now trying to run away from the three guys.

Yanno sighed softly. "Does Ichai really have nothing else better to do but pick on that kid." He thought about going down to help the poor kid but he didn't really have the physical strength to handle them.

Just try it

Yanno blinked then looked around.. Did he hear something?

You say you don't have strength but is that true? Just go ahead and try it kid.

He looked around still confused but then looked back down seeing the bullies and kid turning the corner. "Just try eh..." With that thought he stood up closing up his unfinished lunch then quickly ran out of the classroom heading down to the campus below quickly.

Ichai and his goons were closing in on the cornered kid who's back was against the brick wall that encircled the school grounds. "Dumb kid you forgot this is a complete dead end. You really can't really do anything to get away from us huh Tai? Should have thought more on that after you refused to get me lunch!"

Ichai was cracking his knuckles as his buddies chuckled. Tai looked in fear as he made a rebuttal. "S-Shut up! I had enough of this I am not paying for your lunches anymore so leave me alone before I call for help!"

Ichai punched the kid in the stomach making Tai fall to the ground couching. "No one will come kid! You really are stupi-"

"Oi!" Ichai blinked for a minute then turning to see Yanno at the other end of the closed space. "Leave the kid alone Ichai."

Ichai stared at Yanno with a chuckle. "Leave him alone?! Ha! Like you have a right to tell me what to do Ayata!"

Yanno stared at the huge and bulky man with black spiky hair, he towers even the students and best student athletes. "Maybe but that doesn't mean I can't try and stop you."

Ichai raised an eyebrow. "Oh? Stop me? Tell that to the many other tough guys around this city that told me that!" Ichai grinned cracking his knuckles.

"But I do need the practice so sure I'll be glad to use you as a punching bag!" Ichai shouted as he ran towards Yanno who stood there.

Okay... Hes running at me at full speed about to punch me.. What now?

Just stop his punch simple as that kid

Its that voice again! Hes going at full darn speed with the towering force of a bulldozer!

Really now? Test yourself kid just put a hand out and stop his punch then go from there.

The voice died off leaving Yanno confused but only to see the incoming punch from the running Ichai. Yanno could dodge but that wouldn't stop the running Ichai from hitting him.

Out of instinct Yanno followed the instruction of the voice and puts a hand out half of his mind expecting his hand and arm to break but quite easily the punch stops.

"W-What?!" Ichai said before he began to flip right over Yanno due to his momentum of his run causing the large man to fall down back first onto the ground behind a surprised Yanno.

Told you

The heck just happen?!

You just simply stronger. Didn't you ever notice?

Yanno could tell that was just a joke. Cut the jokes who the heck is this?!

Questions later, Ichai is getting back up.

Yanno heard the groans from Ichai as the large man slowly got up rubbing his head. "The heck happened?"

Ichai looked at Yanno. "When were you strong Ayata? Or was it just a fluke?"

Yanno would just answer but then Ichai's goons both came running behind though for some reason Yanno knew that as he felt calm suddenly.

Yanno quickly gave Ichai a one minute finger before quickly spinning ducking from the oncoming punches from the two goons before landing a good kick to the side of one launching the goon straight into the other then into the wall.

Ichai's mouth dropped wide seeing his buddies get basically overtaken by Yanno. "M-Monster!" Ichai said softly then down at Yanno who was staring straight back at Ichai.

Ichai sweats with fear before bowing down onto the ground. "I'm sorry Ayata and Tai! I won't touch or harm Tai anymore!" Ichai shouted before going over to pick up his buddies then running away.

Tai looked at Yanno surprised before smiling running up to Yanno. "T-Thank you Ayata! You saved me from those guys!"

Yanno sweats at Tai a bit. "N-No problem, glad to be of help. Now run back to your friends I'm sure they are worried."

Tai nodded as he quickly ran off causing Yanno to smile a bit then looked down at his hand then down to his legs. When did I learn to do that...

Since the school day started.

What?! I barely knew anything about fighting till just now! I don't even have that much strength either!

Wrong you knew how to fight and got stronger the moment you accepted my Amulet.

Accepted your...

It dawned on Yanno as he pulled out the amulet from his shirt seeing it was glowing a bit.

Why hello there Yanno Ayata.

What the... What the heck is going on!?

I will answer all of your questions but not here... Walk into the portal Yanno.

A portal appeared before Yanno on the wall that use to be a dead end. Portal?

Yep, just walk through and your answers will follow.

Yanno hesitated a bit but he wanted answer more than anything right now as he walked into the portal that quickly closes behind him.

Yanno was first blinded by an unknown light the moment he walked through the portal before the light quickly died down making Yanno look around being greeted with a colorful world with a sky filled all sorts of colors aside from the ones from the basic color wheel.

Ever color imaginable was flowing in the sky as the rest of the world was either water or islands featuring many strange creatures within the realm made of different types of rocks.

Think of animals made completely out of crystals such as a sapphire, diamond, topaz, and etc. However despite this they all seemed quite lifelike moving around as if they were truly alive and acted like their flesh counterparts did.

This world however quickly warps soon he was floating and the area around him was filled with stars and planets were all around him the closest one being his own: Earth.

Yanno eyes went wide as so many thing s he was seeing at once it shocked him before a voice boomed around him.

"Sorry for the surprise Yanno. But welcome to the realm and domain I reside in to observe from." Yanno turns around to see where the source of the voice came from to see in a flash of multiple colored lights a large looming figure quickly appearing before its form became whole.

The form was that of a dragon covered in multiple colored crystals on its back, horns along its neck and head with a spearhead tail and wings that spread out letting of a rainbow effect behind it.

"W-Who are you?" Yanno asked.

"I am Merakir!" Merakir spreads his wings with a grin only a Dragon could make. "I am an Elemental Lord! The Elemental Lord of Dragons and Protector of Dimensions!"

"Elemental Lord? Protector of Dimensions?" Yanno was confused, he never heard of this.

"Yes... My job as an Elemental Lord apart of the Order or Lords is to oversee and protect the many dimensions and lie. I mainly come into action to protect dimensions such as yours if there is an imbalance or threat to a world."

"So basically your like a god?"

"Yes you can say that though we as a group hold more power over a god as well but only if we meet and commence combined judgment on an individual."

"I see... So what is the Order or the Lords then?"

"We are a group numbering in many. Each one of us represented by the member of a species found in Myth and Reality. Each one of us oversee our own worlds and regulate them thus the reason for my pair of titles. I represent the legendary line of Dragon Lords thus thats why I have the title of Elemental Lord of Dragons."

"Okay and the Protector of Dimensions part?"

"That is the title give to be based upon on the role and duty I was assigned. For myself I was chosen to oversee the multiple worlds that in other universes. Like how the String Theory works but more than that."

"So there are other Elemental Lords but you have to oversee a bunch of universes?"

"Yes but that is because my job is high important. However there are worlds That the other Elemental Lords have a hold of for the sake of their own Titles. Dimensions such as The Gateways, Poison and Evil, Sea, Courage. All of these places have their own world that is governed."

"So then.. Why am I here?"

"Because of one reason... We Elemental Lords do not last forever, we can last for very long time usually based on our rave, however there comes a time where Elemental Lords have to bring on a disciple to teach in our ways and have them go in our place as new Elemental Lords. That is why Yanno you are here: To become an Elemental Lord Disciple and replace me as Elemental Lord when I pass."

Yanno was silent for a good five minutes making Merakir a bit worried.

"Uh.. Yanno? Are you okay?"

"...Eh?"

Merakir was silent for a minute then chuckled. "I should have expected that. Sorry for the big dump of info but that is how it is Yanno I hope we become good partners for now!"

Yanno points at him. "Wait a minute I didn't even agree with this!"

"You did the moment you picked up my Amulet."

"But how was I suppose to know I would be signing up for this by picking up your darn Amulet?!"

"True.. However when we Elemental Lords make our choice its final."

"B-Bastard! No way am I doing this!"

"Oh? I said it was my final choice and I am unable to change it... So are you willing to let me die and let those other worlds suffer without me?"

"What?"

"I have to be the one to assign my Disciple. We Elemental Lords can only make one choice when it comes to this. If the one we chosen does not accept then it can possible mean the end of the world that Elemental Lord governs. So in my case all of the worlds I protect would disappear."

Yanno was a bit shocked to hear that, he thought about this a bit thinking about the people at his school. "Alright... I get it. What do you want me to do?"

"For now you will stay at your home and go to school. I will teach you about your new abilities soon while I keep an eye on you. Then as my disciple you have a task."

"A Task?"

"Yes.. Even though I oversee and protect the worlds from possible threats... I am limited at what I can do. However my Disciple has free reign to do whatever he or she wants under my guidance. Meaning I can send you to a world to be apart of that world's happenings to observe for possible threats and oversee the people directly."

"How long do you intend for me to be in said worlds?"

"I depends on the world and the threat... The one I have you going.. It will be a long time, however when you return back to your world, it will be like you never left. Though granted you are free to want to stay in the other worlds as well."

"I see.. Will I be training while at these worlds?"

"Yes you will be." Merakir smirked knowing that it won't be just personal training that will be happening. He knew Yanno's personality, so going to these worlds will teach him more than just getting stronger.

"Alright then." Yanno sighs a bit then thought of something. "Merakir why did you choose me?"

Merakir stared at Yanno for a minute then closed his eyes. "For one thing my line of Dragons usually pick a Human to be an Elemental Lord after a certain number of Generations as such the next Elemental Lord you will choose will of course be a Dragon."

Yanno nodded as Merakir continued, "However there is more to that. Elemental Lords must pick someone who isn't blinded by certain factors and relate to our own personalities so we may entrust them and expect them to do the same job we have done. You met this criteria."

Merakir mumbled something 'For the most part at least...' Yanno tilted his head confused.

"So thats the reason?" Yanno asked.

"That is the reason Yanno... Anymore questions before I send you back to your world?"

Yanno nodded as a portal appeared next to his floating body. "Then go ahead and return."

Yanno nodded before walking into the portal returning to his days of school that would soon be on pause.

-One Week Later-

Just as Yanno hoped, Ichai had stopped bullying Tai, now they were friends even. Surprisingly Yanno himself even became friends with Tai and Ichai within that week's time. Ichai apologizes genuinely saying he bullied Tai due to his own anger toward his family.

Yanno frowned a bit at Ichai unsure if it was true, but it was too good of a story to be a lie. However Ichai seems to have learned his lesson even asking Yanno to help him get stronger a bit making Yanno sweat a bit whenever the topic was brought up.

For once though Yanno was happy to be talking with Tai and Ichai even though soon Yanno won't be seeing them for quite awhile. During that time he also conversed with Merakir about the life of Elemental Lords and who the others were.

From what Yanno had learned that there were about Ten Major Elemental Lords.

Elemental Lord of Mermaids, Snakes, Devils and Angels(Twins), Lions, Giants, Dwarves, Gryphons, Owls, and Dragons.

There are apparently lesser Elemental Lords just like how there are lesser Gods. These manage smaller worlds or are apart of one of the Major Lord's line of duty like how Courage relates to Will in a way.

Yanno was thinking about what these figures govern before getting the attention of Ichai. "Tai, Yanno look its the school's idol!" Ichai whispered to Yanno and Tai then pointing to the green long haired student walking in. There was a sense of windy elegance with the girl that caught the attention of everyone in the room including the girls.

"Veia-san is so dreamy." "Yeah her hair is natural too can you believe that?" "No way! But brr.. It feels chilly in here who let the windows open?" "But they're closed. Stop acting silly!"

Allie Veia, from what Yanno has been told: She is a foreign student who knows perfect Japanese, her green hair makes many believe she is indeed a foreigner despite her fluent Japanese so they just don't question it. Regardless she became an idol in this school the moment she appeared.

Yanno could hear Merakir chuckling a bit in his mind. Whats so funny Merakir?

Nothing don't mind me, I am just thinking about a friend at the moment.

Friend?

Don't worry about it.

Yanno glimpsed at Veia only to see her look my way with a neutral look before sitting down, something was off about her but I wrote it off as Ichai almost died literally from Veia looking over. Luckily it wasn't hard to keep him up so he doesn't crush me or Tai.

Regardless it seems his school life just became much more exciting it would seem.

Merakir watched Yanno through the necklace an orb in front of him allowing him to observe Merakir would soon be interrupted by a Sigil appearing behind him colored Green with the head of a Gryphon and wings on the sides of the head at the center of the Sigil.

"I see you have found your Disciple Merakir. Is he what you had hoped for?"

"Gryphia good to see you as well. Yes I have so have you it seems, you already found a Disciple for the Guardian of Wind?"

"Yes and she is a very special girl. I was wondering when you were going to pester me about it but I guess it didn't bother you to have her be near your candidate."

Merakir chuckled a bit. "It is quite alright, she didn't do anything bad at the very least... Your hiding her true form as well with your Wind of Protection.. Has she already learned how to conjure the wind as well?"

Gryphia sighed a bit, "A little bit but she is just starting just like Yanno but she is definitely ahead of the game. Even if you are a bigger master of the Elements than I am, my Disciple can still defeat yours."

Merkair smirked, "Right now yes, but we will see after a bit of training, he is going to venture into his first other world soon as well."

"So soon?"

"Yes because this first world will benefit him more the sooner I send him to it. By the way... Gianat is observing this too isn't he?"

Just like that a brown Sigil appeared with the head of a human with a spiked helm and a hammer behind the head. "Dang it Merakir can't you have my fun a bit in peace?! Here I thought I was hidden!"

Merakir chuckled. "Why are you so surprised your in my domain after all... Have you found your candidate?"

Gianat chuckled himself. "Oh my rival Merakir... Yes and no"

Gryphia made a small giggle. "What is that suppose to mean Gianat?"

Giant's Sigil turned to Gryphia's. "Don't mock me Lady Bird! I mean I found a candidate but I am not 100% sure about him. I still need time to observe him."

"But he is at the same school at Yanno's isn't he? That makes 3 Disciples in the same world... This will be an interesting development." Merakir said looking back at the orb.

Gryphia and Gianat have a small laugh before Gryphia teased. "Too bad for you. I doubt Aquasis will pick her candidate from this world."

Gianat chuckled loudly. "Gryphia you sly Lady Gryphon you! Don't mock Merakir's love relationship!"

Merakir was silent a bit angry making the two Lords sweat behind the Sigils. "Gianat I think that is our time to leave." "Y-Yeah c-cya later Merakir good luck to your Disciple!"

Both Sigils disappeared as Merakir turned around with a roar and shouting. "THERE IS NOTHING GOING ON BETWEEN US!"

Merakir sighed softly then looked back at the orb observing Yanno. "At least you seem to be doing better than before."

I figure thats a good ending point. Now yes Fairy Tail will be around soon. This is just the beginning of my story so Fairy Tail will happen soon.

So for now please Review/Favorite/Etc let me know your thoughts I know this kind of story is not for everyone but I hope that some will enjoy this.
