I'll make sure to update on my other stories sorry about that T_T Anywho, the first chapter is more of an introduction i promise the second will be better! please review! haha love you all still ( If your still out there)
In a quiet, peaceful valley, where a large lake resided, stood a small child. The tall pines seemed to reach for the sky and reflected perfectly onto the liquid glass surface. A weak breeze played with strands of the small girl's hair, the deep brunette pieces floating around her face. With a deep breath, the kid curled both her hands into circles, placing them in front of her mouth and…
"Earth Dragon's Roar Class One!"
A large brownish cloud of small, sparkling fragments exploded across the lake, flying across the surface of water before dissipating at the other side, forcing the surrounding trees to bend away from the force. The young girl smirked, her sharp green eyes half closed in pride.
"With this…no adult is going to hurt me ever again." She mumbled staring down at her hands, "Renee…Bill…Adrian…they're all going pay…"
The images of their faces flew past her vision,
"Never again."
Suddenly, an extremely loud roar echoed throughout the area, seeming to shake the very ground the child was standing on.
"Terra! Revenge is a sickness, it weighs down on your soul and closes your eyes, ears and heart to the world, and with that your magic will weaken, because magic comes from-" Luto started to explain, snarling down at his daughter, until he was cut off. "Comes from the heart, I know…it's just hard Dad…they…" the young girl tried to explain, fiddling with her fingers as she always did when she was thinking.
"I understand that they hurt you, but if you ever meet them in your life you're going to have to greet them with nothing but kindness." The large dragon explained, sitting down and wrapping his glistening tail around his body.
Terra sighed and looked out into the now calm again water, "As long as your there with me Dad, I think I might be able to do that." She smiled, turning back towards the resting creature. That smile stayed on her face until the child noticed the Dragon shifting uncomfortably.
"You're going to have to do some things on your own Terra, just in ca-"
"Just in case what?" the little girl muttered, almost a whisper. Her eyes grew wide and glossy.
No, not another person disappointed in me..
"Things can happen."
No, I'll fix myself.
"We can't control the world"
No, I'll get stronger.
"Fate is the only thing that can decide our lives."
No, I'll make you proud.
"What I'm trying to say is, if you ever find yourself without me there then you need to remember what I've taught you and you need to be strong."
No, please don't leave me.
"I guess I'm lost…" a girl grunted, letting a heavy shoulder bag fall down, off her shoulder into her right hand.
The other hand ran threw her hair, letting the stray strands on the sides of her face fall down softly, as the rest of her brunette hair was pulled back into a long ponytail running down to her waist. The mane had multiple lime green bands down the length of the silky 'Tail'. The young mage stared down the construction going on before her; as if it were the site's fault she was having troubles. The Brunette started twirling the crystal like band around her left thumb, which she did often while thinking.
"It's supposed to be here…right here." The girl exclaimed to no one, physically and emotionally drained.
People were carrying large, wooden boards around, other's nailing things down, but all the same, everyone was reasonably happy during their work.
"Who would be happy to work in this heat?" She joked.
This area, this construction site, was exactly where it was supposed to be…the guild…Fairytail. But instead it was just a pit of rubble. Where was the glorious building of the number one guild in all of Fiore?
"Everyone! Let's take a break!" another girl's voice called out.
The traveler's eyes tracked down the culprit and saw a white haired woman, holding up a platter filled with mugs.
"Mirajane…" the mage gasped, recognising the woman before her.
The other female was a slim young woman of below average height. She had long, white hair, which was slightly curly at the ends, with two bangs framing her face and reaching down to her chest, followed by an upward ponytail obtained by gathering and tying the hair that would be covering her forehead, showcasing her dark blue eyes well.
"But then that means…" the traveler started to say again, until she saw another recognizable figure.
"We can't take a break yet, the guild isn't finished!" another female answered, walking up to Mirajane with a couple of overly, large planks of wood on her shoulder.
She had long, red hair, which was up for the moment in a high pony tail while she worked, and cozy brown eyes as well as a slender figure that seemingly all the females here had, and the young mage's memory claimed that her name was Erza…Erza Scarlet.
"It's so hot out." Lucy complained, laying her head down on the table having stray strands of her silky blonde hair fall in front of her face.
The guild had created a makeshift, temporary 'hall' outside while the building was still under construction. Mirajane had convinced Erza that everyone needed a break, so they all were gathered around the multiple tables as the white haired 'waitress' brought around drinks.
"Hyyiiiaaaaaaaa!" Natsu hollered, his tan, well-built body struggling underneath the pile of wood planks he was carrying above him, soon after having them fall down on top of himself.
Lucy glared at the spiky, rose haired teen for disturbing her rest.
"Oh my…" Mirajane mumbled, raising an eyebrow along with happy as the pair watched the Dragon Slayer struggle.
"That's 'cause you tried to carry so much at once, Baka." Gray added, walking by with only one plank under his arm.
The Celestial mage slapped at her forehead with what the ice mage was doing, knowing that he was picking a fight. If she thought about it, Grey and Natsu were kind of alike. They both had spiky hair, just that Fullbuster had black instead of pink, they both were well built as well as muscular, and they both were irritating.
"What'd you call me!?" the Dragon Slayer raged, jumping up while tossing all of the wood aside that he was, just moments ago, pinned underneath.
"Wanna go?" Gray asked dangerously, pressing his forehead against Natsu's in his anger at being challenged.
"You're carrying them so daintily!" At this point Lucy just blocked the two out, trying to enjoy her rest before Erza came back and forced more work onto them…but not like the Ice Mage or Slayer cared any, they didn't even take the brake.
So the blonde turned her head away from the 'battle' only to notice…a girl? Lucy watched more carefully, and indeed it was a female, a female that she didn't know, smiling widely as she watched the idiot duo go at it.
"Whatcha lookin' at Lucy?" Happy asked, creeping up on the young girl.
The Celestial mage jumped, as if caught while doing something sneaky. The Blonde glared at the bright, blue cat for scaring her.
"Do you know that girl?" she asked, pointing at the stranger, who was still watching Natsu and Gray.
The cat looked over and studied the 'mystery' girl for a while, then suddenly holding up his paw in 'awe'.
"I have no idea…" Happy answered.
Lucy smacked the creature on the back of his head, "Then don't act like you do!"
"She is pretty though." The cat added, not paying attention to his fellow guild member's abuse.
That comment brought the blonde out of her angry daze, now that she thought about it, that girl was 'pretty'. She had dark, brown lace up boots that reached up and ended just below her knees. Along with black, fishnet stockings, finishing on her upper thighs. The strings of her garter belt were showing a little bit where they connected to the leggings, and the stranger also had a pair of sandy colored, cargo short shorts, a dark, forest green tank top and a black, slightly oversized belt with a bag attached to the hip. Her body type matched Lucy's with emerald green eyes.
"Lucy, Happy, time to get back to work." Erza called out, walking over to the two slackers, clad in her usual armor of a chest plate, gauntlets, a blue pleated skirt and long, and a pair of shiny black boots.
The pair ignored the 'Titania' of Fairy Tail, just staring at the strange girl 'watch' Gray and Natsu. This irritated the re-equip mage, as her face twitched a little bit as she put a hand on the shoulders of the two members, whose faces both changed to total and utter fear.
"What are you guys doing?" Erza asked slowly, making sure the pair understand her seriousness.
Both turned to face the 'knight', their faces clammy and sweating with fear as they stuttered, "We-e're wat-tching that g-girl…"
With that, Erza joined the group in watching the stranger; all three huddled around the makeshift table, sneaking looks…until Natsu noticed.
"Oi…who are you?" the pink haired teen asked, facing the girl.
"Natsu…is that you?" she asked, still smiling.
Everyone in the guild fell silent, watching their Dragon Slayer and the girl. With a nod of the head from the boy, the stranger jumped, squeezing him in a gigantic hug. Everyone sweat dropped as she started running her fingers threw his strangely colored hair.
"Finally! You know how long it took to find you?" the girl laughed, patting the top of his head.
The Dragon Slayer had no idea of what was going on; he was just wide eyed and oblivious as this girl hugged him.
"Natsu, I didn't know you were stringing around girls." Wakaba laughed, grinning around his pipe.
"He caught a pretty one." Macao added chuckling hoarsely.
"What's going on?" The Salamander asked as this stranger was 'petting' his hair.
"She lllllliiiiiikkkkkkeeeeessss you." Happy commented, floating around the pair with his wings out as this stranger planted a quick peck onto Natsu's cheek.
"What!?" Lucy, Erza and Gray all screamed at the same time, about to go insane.
Finally, the strange girl let go of the teen.
"Who are you?!" Natsu yelled as he got his personal space back, a faint pink stain on his cheeks.
She laughed and started twirling the band around her thumb as she took in all the people looking at her.
"My names Terra Jimen." The young mage laughed, pointing at the Dragon Slayer, "I've been looking for you."
"Another good lookin- I mean female mage? *Hick* Why not, your allowed in Fairytail!" Makarov cheered, thrusting his tankard into the air, either asking for a refill or as a sign of happiness…Mirajane took it as a call for more alcohol as she began to pour more into the container.
Terra stumbled over her feet, "Wait what?" she asked.
The entire group, that had gathered around the girl and Natsu, threw their hands in the air and yelled out, excited to have yet another member.
"What type of magic do you use?"
"How old are you?"
"How long is your hair?"
"How much can you drink?"
"Do you have a boyfriend."
"No, she lllllliiiiiikkkkkkeeeeessss Natsu."
The poor girl felt like her head was going to explode, all the voices, faces, different smells.
"Stop!" Terra shouted, everything seemed to pause, "I'm not here to join your guild…" she explained, twisting the ring around her thumb again.
Natsu shifted his head to the side and raised an eyebrow.
"I'm here to ask you about the dragons…I…I need to know where Luto has gone too…he's all I had." The flame dragon slayer's posture stiffened, as well as it seemed as if he was holding his breath.
No one else butted into the conversation, the group just watched from the sidelines.
"Please…just tell me where I can find my Dad and I'll be on my way." Terra offered, placing her hand onto his shoulder.
The man exhaled loudly, his entire body drooped with his lungs.
"I can't, I don't even know where Igneel is."
