Devil's Halo
This is Pride, back with another story. I had this great idea, and just had to type it out. Seven years after the Tenrou incident, Fairy Tail's elite members return and restore their guild to its natural glory. They have just won the Grand Magic Games, and all is back to normal. Or is it? The dark guild, Tartaros begins to surface from the underworld. They have not caused trouble as of yet, but its obvious that the rise of the strongest dark guild spells destruction and disaster. And what's with those "Seven Guardians of Hell", the elite members of Tartaros?
So I will not follow the flow of the manga with regards to Tartaros. This fic will be a NaZa (Natsu x Erza). To all hardcore NaLu fans I have a request. Please give NaZa a try and be open to other pairings. I myself read any fanfic as long as the story and grammar are good. I also want to encourage more people to write NaZa fics, as it is an amazing, underrated pairing. Enough from me, now on to the story. Open to all reviews, including flames.
Chapter 1 – Sloth and Lust
7 years after the Tenrou incident
"So, it seems Fairy Tail has emerged as the victor of the Grand Magic Games, eh?" A voice rang across the mess that was a guild. The voice seemed soft, a woman's voice probably. Her voice was slightly slurred, as though she had been drinking. The hood of her dark purple cloak masked her identity, creating a shroud of mystery around her. Her feet glided over the ground noiselessly, displaying grace despite her drunken state.
Lust (Guardian Number 6: Guardian of the Angel's Gate)
Guild: Tartaros
"Tell me something I don't know, Lust," a deep masculine voice responded, unshaken by the power exhibited by the woman. He did not miss the woman's smirk, despite her face being shielded from view by her hood. He was adorned by a similar cloak, and a hood. Any bypasser could see his well-built physique and broad shoulders. Static crackled as he padded towards the exit of the guild, sparing but a glance for the woman now known as Lust.
Sloth (Guardian Number 4: Guardian of the Beast's Gate)
Guild: Tartaros
"Perhaps it was Laxus Dreyar's spectacular defeat of the Raven Tail team?" he said further.
"I'd rather think it was Cana Alberona's wonderful usage of Fairy Glitter, one of the three Great Fairy Magics," the woman retorted.
"Whatever. That guild has a knack for destruction, a blatant display of power. The Grand Magic Games should have been a pushover for them. For us, it is mere child's play, unnecessary to us," he replied confidently.
"Speaking of destruction, what the hell have you done here?" The woman gestured to the piles of unconscious and in some cases, dead bodies strewn across the floor of the guild they were currently in. The floor was littered with rubble, broken tables and chairs and in some places there was blood. The furniture had mostly been sizzled to less than a crisp.
"Getting rid of a bunch of annoying dark guild members," he replied casually.
"Shouldn't you have left that to other people, like that new guild, "Crime Sorciére?" she sweatdropped.
"They're incompetent. Probably partying their asses off at Crocus."
"…Okay…"
"Besides I was bored. Wrath didn't give me anything to do. And if I sat at our guild, doing nothing, Pride would've nagged my ass off," Sloth explained patiently, as though to a child.
"….I know. Now let's get back to join the others or Pride would hang us upside down above a pot of boiling water," Lust said hurriedly
Sloth shuddered. Oh that demon.
Pride: Okay so that's it for my first teaser chapter. I'll have a couple more teasers before you get longer chapters. By the way, the person called Pride in the story is not me. So to differentiate it, I underlined my pen name wherever it was used. Next chapter would be about Guardians Number 3, 5 and 7, which are Greed, Gluttony and Envy respectively. Didn't bring humour into this chapter 'cause I wanted to start off as normally as possible. I can try to put in some humour in the other chapters though.
Never thought I would ever feel the need to say this, but please read and review. I cannot fulfil all of your requests, but I will try to do it as far as I can. Keep calm and stay awesome.
Till we meet again…
Yours truly, Pride
