Hi guys! This is my first ever fanfiction, and I think it's gonna turn out pretty good. This is just the prologue, so it's quite short, but if this gets attention I'll keep going! If we can hit 10 reviews (not counting flames) I'll upload the next chapter ASAP! Enjoy!

Fiore. A kingdom of trade, wealth, and power. It had lived peacefully for many years, its council strong and helpful, and the many fighter guilds dotted around the landscape helped the country, and saved many lives by destroying vicious beasts, and completing jobs in return for jewels, the currency of the country. Millenniums went by. Human lifespan tripled. It was a time of miracles. But Fiore had an enemy. A great Darkness, living in the shadows, searching… and, centuries after this time, this Darkness found them…

He ran through the chaos of fire and blood into the great unknown. His salmon hair dyed red by the life essence that once ran through his parents veins. His eyes carried a great sorrow and tears fell freely down his face, cutting jagged holes through the heat-dried body fluid. He looked down, towards his arm, and a red, scaly arm greeted him. The hand was clawed, and the palm appeared to be a light beige colour. The new appendages permanently attached to his back rippled and shook, and the horns fastened to his head seemed to glow in the darkness. At least he thought, at least I didn't become a mindless beast like the rest of them. Little did this boy know, that this was the start of something great. Terrible, but great.

Hope you enjoyed! Again, short prologue, but the next chapters will be longer! This story will cover the arcs up to Phantom Lord, so I'll be aiming for 750-1000 words per chapter. Flames will be ignored and fed to Natsu.
