Id like to start by saying I own nothing

This is a story I've had knocking around in my head sometime now and though I've never written a story in my life I'm going to give it my best shot because I feel it's time I give back to the fanfiction community please go easy in your reviews but with that in mind don't hesitate to give me the pointers and criticisms I need. I am a novice after all.

Chapter 1

Cold. That is all Rin felt as he stood, caught in the strange hellish gate that was the precipice between worlds, watching his old man die. Frozen with fear and regret, knowing he would never be able to thank him for being the father he knew he didn't deserve. He would never be able to apologize for his petulance.

'How did it come to this? Why did I have to be so ungrateful?' thought Rin.

Then slowly he felt something else welling up within him at the sight of his beloved father figure dying. Rage.

'How dare the piece of shit claiming to be my father take everything from me!' he thought.

With that one thought in mind he drew his sword and released his flames intent on destroying this damned gate attempting to pull him into Gehenna. Flames erupted from Rin and his sword and burned everything around him, consuming and cremating even the corpse of his dear old man, Shiro Fujimoto. Rin ultimately succeeded in destroying the gate that was until now hell bent on claiming him, unfortunately he acted moments too late to prevent his departure from Assiah. However, Gehenna was not his destination either because at that very moment Rin was at the precipice, residing in neither Assiah or Gehenna.

What became of Rin nobody would ever know. The exorcists where able to determine that the Gehenna gate was destroyed prematurely due to a great column of blue fire disintegrating the closing gate and Mephisto was able to determine through his contacts that his father was denied his prize and lost much of his power as it was being channeled through Rin at the moment of the gate's destruction. That night the son of Satan died as no one, not even Satan, knew of another possibility for such an unprecedented event and it was believed nothing could possibly exist between the two worlds. However, fact is sometimes stranger than fiction.

Rin found himself within a limbo without shape or form. Within this not-world he floated, deprived of his senses with no company save his own thoughts. He began to think of what lead him here and how he wished he could have done things differently. 'If I had another chance I could have saved the old man, at the very least I could have been more grateful.' Alas, it was a waste to think of what could have been because he was dead, at least that is what he believed.

Once more he was beginning to feel cold, colder than before the when the rage had consumed him. In the vast and empty nothingness he began feeling a pull from nowhere. The strange force pulled at every part of his being. He felt memories being stripped away and sensation of his limbs slowly becoming less and less noticeable. It was as though the nothingness around him sought to make him at it was...nothing. With that realization he began experiencing another emotion that he had never experienced so strongly in all his life. Rin began experiencing fear. Not just fear but complete and utter terror. To his horror the nothingness around him even began to claim his very emotions and with that even his fear was stolen from him.

As the nothingness continued its silent assault Rin began losing consciousness and his mind slowed. Soon he held but a single thought as he faded. 'If I were stronger I could have saved him' Then all was dark.

Rin, or what remained, held nothing of himself save his soul, a few scattered memories, a sword forged in Assiah that his unconscious hand still grasped like a lifeline and the power of his birthright that had been drawn from Gehenna.

There in the void Rin drifted until he came within reach of another world. A world that knew nothing of his past or heritage. A new world where he would have a new beginning.

At that very moment a great tearing sound was heard in the night sky and a blue comet was seen shooting over the horizon. No one save a lone wizard would witness the landfall of this strange comet and few would ever learn the truth of this celestial event but those who looked to the star that night could scarcely look away. The event would come to be known as the Bright Night of X778.

As fate would have it, that night the lone wizard present to witness the landfall of the blue comet was Gildarts Clive and he was a member of the rowdiest guild in all of Fiore, Fairy Tail.
