Hi Blue Power1 here.

This story just popped in my head. Hope you enjoy.

My name is Kayla Fairytail. A Life and Ice Mage. I've been through thousands of worlds, but meeting pirates is the last thing I thought would happen.

It all started in a regular class in the School of Life.

We were just learning the Spirit Armor spell.

"Okay class," Professor Wu said, "today we learn the Spirit Armor spell. Does anyone know what that is?"

I looked around the class was mostly made up of Life students. Couple Death students like Penny Dreadful and my guy friend, Jake Nightblade, and there were also students from the other schools. As if on cue, my best friend, Alice Blossom, a Life Mage, raises her hand.

"Yes Ms. Blossom," Professor Wu said.

"Spirit Armor is a spell that can withstand attacks up to 400 damage," Alice said.

"Precisely," Professor Wu said, "Ms. Blossom and Mr. Nightshade, would you mind demonstrating?"

Great, her 'sparing' partner is Nathaniel Nightshade. The biggest jerk out of all the Death students. He outranks Duncan Grimwater in a snob-off.

"Ms. Blossom, you cast the Spirit Armor spell," Professor Wu said, "Mr. Nightshade cast the Ghoul spell."

The duel starts. She cast it and any spell he tried didn't seem to affect it. Then he cast a skeletal pirate. It breaks the shield and leaves her with a nasty cut on her cheek, which was healed immediately.

"As you can see," Professor Wu said, "The Spirit Armor is virtually indestructible, but it can only be used by wizards powerful enough to use it. By the end of class, those wizards will be learning that spell."

I had a feeling I was one of them. It would be extra handy. You see, Jake, Alice, John Flame (a Fire Mage who didn't have this class), and I were going to compete in the Wizard Tornaments. Last year, we got second place, beaten by Nathaniel's team, but this year were determined to win. The winning team gets a chance to compete against Pigswick Academy's best and Nathaniel's team was slaughtered last year.

After I received my spell card, Proffessor Wu asked me to stayed behind. Of course I haven't done anything wrong, so I wondered why, but I did what I was told.

"Proffessor Wu," I said as I came up to her desk, "Did you need to see me?"

"Yes I did," Proffessor Wu, "and one more person too."

As if on cue, Headmaster Ambrose appears, "Child, I'm aware of you and your friends are entering the tournaments, but remember Malistaire is still at large, you must be on your guard."

I was hoping he didn't mentioned that. You see I'm not from any special world in the Spiral, I'm from a world, where most people don't believe in magic. My parents were killed by Malistaire when I was 9, and I was saved by Headmaster Ambrose and whisked away to Wizard City. A year later, when I started to go to school here, Malistaire came back to kill me. Gamma told me that he thought our fates were intertwined together and Malistaire was simply trying to prevent it from happening. Of course he would try, all villains do. All the professors, except Cyrus, worry about me because of that, and I can't get mad at them because they're practically family.

"Don't worry, we'll be on guard," I said and I left after that.

"Kayla," Alice said, "why did Professor Wu hold you back?"

"Oh," I said, "She needed help to clean up the School." I haven't told them about Malistaire, I only told them about my world as I remember it to be.

"Why?" John said, "she can..."

"Nevermind," Jake said, "Professor Wu probably told her something for her ears only. So the try-outs are tomorrow, should we get one more practice in for tomorrow."

"Why?" A voice said.

We turned around to find Nathaniel eavesdropping in our conversation, "Afraid too lose again."

"What do want Nathaniel?" I asked.

"Oh nothing," Nathaniel said," except to remember what your face looked like before the tournaments."

He touched my face and I slapped his hand.

Jake acts as a barrier between us and said, "Yeah, because you'll be blind for 3 months after we beat you and your team."

"We'll see that in the duel circle," Nathaniel said. Then he walks towards Olde Town tunnel.

"Jee, what a creep." Alice said.

"Yeah," I said, "Remind me to boil my face after practice."

John said, "Why would you need to boil your..."

"Just a figure of speech, John," Jake and I said.

"Anyway," I said, "I'll meet you guys in the practice hall. I needed a new spell deck container anyway."

"Alright," Alice said, "See you later then."

After that, I went into the shops to buy a bunch of stuff to increase my mana and I found myself staring in the abyss that is the Spiral by the housing department.

Stress was sorta killing me. Nathaniel being a snobby creep at me, the tournaments, my feelings for Jake, Malistaire, school, the constant threat of monsters taking over the city... it's too much for me and I might go a bit insane.

But I knew I would be okay, my mom always told me that life was always messing with us and that it would always through in an annoying obstacle at us, but we must always find a way.

"Enough time has passed," I told myself, "My friends are waiting."

But I turned around to find some guy in 18th century clothing.

"Um, excuse me," I said, "Do you need anything?"

The man stared blankly. "If you don't need anything," I said, "I'll just be on my way."

But he kept blocking me, then he asks, "Are you Kayla Fairytail?"

I nodded and the next thing I know was that I was being choked by the man and he had a dagger near my head as if he knew I would try to escape. The last thing I saw was Jake and Nathaniel, racing towards us as a dark shadow casts over as I passed out. What comes next was the last thing I never thought would happen.

Well that's it for the first chapter. Review, favorite, and follow please.

Till next time, Blue Power1
