Fairy Tail Minus One Prologue: The Legend of the Dragon Queen
(A/N: Now that the Fairy Tail seires is over and i gave my thoughts on the overall seires and how it could've been alot better, it's time to finish what Mashima..Well finished. We can all agree that Fairy tail had a very weak sendoff overall and so much poential has been wasted with it's main characters and villains alike. Do you like the Fairy Tail Seires but don't like the direction it took, don't like how some characters got flanderized overtime or how short and anti cimatic the fights are ?
Fairy Tail Minus One is the answer to your problems. Whereas, Fairy Tail Zero which expands the origins of Fairy Tail's guild, this fanfic covers everything prior to that, including the rise of Zeref. This story is written with the intent on expanding the lore of the Fairy Tail series by focusing on one of the most wasted potentials of the entire series, Irene Belserion. Irene Belserion when you look at the lore is the main reason the plot of Fairy Tail exist and why Natsu even exist within the first place as the person he is.
Irene Berlesion literally had alot of potential if Mashima used her right and used her better, sadly inspite of her excellent fight with Erza and her backstory, she was not used again, not even in the final fight against Ancologia. Come on, this is the former Queen of Dragons, i expected much more with her. Don't worry, i intend to do much more than Mashima did for Irene and give this character the justice she deserves.
This story would be one part an origin story of Irene Belerison with Anna Heartfilla also being the focus of the plot as a secondary main character as she rises to the ranks of the Legendary Celestial Mage and how both these women's decisions would pave the way to events that would transpire 400 years later and would focus on the glory of the once glorious Dragonv Kingdom.
Another part of the story is the fall of Irene Belerison, how she went from wanting to raise her daughter to becoming one of the most powerful dark mages to exist. It would not only cover her atrocities and legacy as the dreaded Scarlet Despair. It would also focus on developing the Spriggan 12 and covering Zeref's own development and backstory and how the Alvarez Empire.
The final parts would be a retelling of the Fairy Tail series however it's not going to be a complete retelling as there are going to changes into events, characters and arcs I won't go into detail of but what I can say is that this would be a correction of all the flaws within the Fairy Tail series, most notably the Dragon Festival Arc, let's just say the Dragon Slayers are going to kill the dragons this time around and much more.
Anyways without further delay, let's begin the new chapter within Fairy Tail Fan Fiction)

Irene's POV
423 Years, that's how long I lived… My life started out as the former Queen of Dragons and I lived a good 11 years with a happy family. I spent 4 years trying to become a Queen and was queen for over 9 years before everything went to shit and after 3 years of pure misery, I transformed into a Dragon and suffered nearly 400 years of misery, 400 of those years were filled with misery and agony as I suffered fates worse than death… 28 of those wasted years unable to be with the very daughter I gave birth to. 10 years I spent on my rampage on the world as the dreaded Scarlet Despair after I believed my daughter perish within the Rosemary Massacre and spent the last remaining 10 years trying to redeem myself after learning that my daughter was still alive by raising my own adopted children to make up for the one I couldn't be with, and it seems like my entire life just ended in a flash. I no longer feel pain anymore, I feel free and liberated.
The Scarlet Requiem that I planned 7 years ago seemed to go off without a hitch. Almost everything went according to plan, the only thing I didn't count on is my daughter's unwillingness to kill. Had she came at me to kill, I wouldn't have been forced to kill myself to end my suffering.
My daughter Erza Scarlet has grown into a real woman a woman who has potentially surpassed even my limitations and power. I stare at her as my vision becomes blurry as she lies on the floor beside me and what I see is a spitting image of myself at her age with a very rare Crimson Scarlet hair much like my own, the purest of red said to be found in small remote warrior tribes in the ancient world.
"There are limits to how much healing spells can fix, it can't fix a broken heart…A heart was broken by my own pride and arrogance…A heartbroken of all goodness or decency left… Farewell Daughter." i said to my daughter as the blood gushes out of my sword wound.
"Farewell mother. " Erza replied as she hugs me for the first and last time of my life and kissed her on her forehead before collapsing to the ground. Everything became a blur to me at this point as my eyes closed slowly when I see my daughter staring into my eyes.
"MOTHER!" My daughter shouted surprised to see a mighty mage like myself fall, those were the last words I would ever hear.
Funny how times flies within the world, one minute you're the benevolent Queen of Dragons beloved by the world and the pinnacle of the valor and virtue of humanity, the next minute you're the harbinger of destruction despised by humanity. As I look at my daughter for one last time within my life, I'm filled with regret and pain as I failed as a mother and a human being.
All these wasted 29 years of my life and not once was I able to get her a birthday present in front of her face. All the crimes I committed within the name of Zeref, all the genocides I've caused singlehandedly to bring the despair that I suffered when I thought my daughter died in Rosemary, I deeply regretted every single one of them… At least finally I can rest in peace and my daughter Erza can live on as the one who slain the great Scarlet Despair.
I already feel the sweet release of death as the Grim Reaper slowly approaches my path. My vision continues to blur as I struggle to even see the face of own daughter…She seems rather sad for me despite just 5 minutes ago, I almost destroyed her entire country.
How did it come down to this? What caused me to go down this dark path of genocide and chaos? Could've I've prevented myself from doing this in the first place and who am I really? Am I the Scarlet Angel who fought to protect her comrades and the world and deserve at least a chance in Heaven's trial or am I the Scarlet Despair, a being so evil, even the Books of Zeref tremble at my presence and I deserve hellfire.
It's a great thing that apon the brink of death, one is able to see their entire lifetime play out and feel as if they're experiencing it all over again 3 to 5 minutes prior to their brain's permeant termination. I was told that even though 3 to 5 minutes pass within the world as your heart shuts down and your brain activity ceases, you feel as if you lived a whole life all over again and it seems to be true for the most part. Let's see where I went wrong within this lifetime and if there was a way to prevent this fate, not that it matters anyways.
End of 1st Person POV
3rd Person POV
Rosemary Village
April 27, X370
Irene notices that she is no longer within the terafromed country of Fiore but within the outskirts of Rosemary Village within Fiore over 400 years ago. The village looks like it's still under construction with some of the people within the town living within tents. She's within the furthest outskirts next to a small stream.
"This is Rosemary Village. Either God is far too merciful to the wicked and I ended up in Heaven or the flashback of my life has begun." Irene said to herself as she looks around the grassy plain.
Irene then grabs her arms and then her legs and noticed she still has her clothes on and even has her hat on despite it being destroyed within battle.
"Guess you really do keep your clothes after you die. I didn't even die wearing this hat. Strange though, it feels like I'm still alive." Irene said to herself as she walks away from the outskirts to a stream not too far from where the village is at.
She sees her mother within a stream surrounded by a dozen of her finest troops dressed within Dragonvian Armor which resemble that of Roman Imperial Army armor with shields with the symbol of a Dragon fighting alongside a woman dressed in white with the 5 flag banners of Dragonv with the coat of arms insgima.
She then sees her mother with long scarlet hair within dreadlocks resembling that of Nightwalker with doctors patching up the S section wound on her body while she wears a white armored dress. The dress is stained with blood from a previous battle that occurred with the queen notable exhausted from blood loss
With her is a young lanky man who a fairly muscular build with short spiky, strawberry blonde hair with blue eyes and fair skin common also wearing a crown on his head. He wears a white cape on with a white shirt on with black pants holding a scepter.
Amongst the people with the queen is a Dragon sporting features typical of his species: large, quadrupedal body build, sharp claws, tough scales, large wings, and a tail, with a smooth, armor-like underbelly. Of his draconian features, his most notable are the exceeding amount of sharp protrusions on the various parts of his body: large tusks jut out from and curve around either side of his jaw; two large horns that stick out from the back of his head; two long maxillary canines protrude from his bottom jaw; his chin is rather sharp; he has a horn on his snout; the scapulars of his wings also feature large, spiked protrusions. The White Dragon is large enough to be the size of a small mansion.
On the left side of the dragon is a very tall, very muscular man standing who is clad in body armor covering his whole body except his face silmair to a Roman Centurion. He has tan skin and resembles Gajeel with the same kind of hair as Gajeel.
On the right side of the Dragon is a skinny, short man with primitive looking glasses on with a white coat slimair to a lab coat on with a white tunic and white shirt underneath undeneath it. The man has wavy, shoulder-length blue hair, which has eyebrow-length bangs, He resembles a gender swap version of Levy.
"It's a good thing we have the best doctors in the world and Belserion is known for his speed otherwise we would've of made it in time to save the baby." the young blonde man said to the queen.
"Indeed, I wasn't expecting to be in such a bad shape that I had to be airflow into the most peaceful part of your country Prince Charles Nightwalker or should I say King Charles." the Queen said to her king.
"Queen Erza, that was rather unwise to fight an entire battle while 9 months pregnant." Charles stated with a look of concern on his face.
"I had no choice, the Amazonian tribes were relentlessly stubborn and held my men hostage. Given they're hostile sexism against me and what they've done to their own men, I would be damned if I allowed them to hurt even a single comrade let alone my closest comrades. The Adonis tribes deplorable treatment of women were also a problem and they were as relentless as well, having to crush two armies of superhuman races to establish peace was no easy feat." Queen Écarlate explained to Charles.
"Still you almost got yourself and your baby killed." the armored clad man said to Irene.
"But I didn't did I? Not only was I able to end this pointless war but I was able to protect my child. A little scar is nothing more but a reminder of how much I put on the line to protect the people I love." Écarlate explained to the tan skinned soldier and her husband.
"And that's why I love you, my dear wife, always so fearless and valiant but Grand General Kajeel has a point, you can't be so reckless within conflict. The God Queen Aerlea cursed your child before you took her head and ended the war. Are you not worried in the slightest for her safety?" Charles asks his queen concern of what effects the battle had on their child.
"Relax Charles, you're such a worrywart at times! Any curse that falls upon my daughter, I'll protect her with every fiber of my being." Queen Écarlate stated as she relaxes back on the flowers without a care in the world, happy that she gave birth to a beautiful child.
"You should listen to Charles Écarlate, it's the recklessness and overconfidence of the founder of Dragonv nearly 600 years ago that led to her before forced to kill her own mother in combat." the Dragon said to the Queen warning the queen about her recklessness.
"No, you too Belserion, I told you things are going to be fine…If there is an actual curse, we would know about it and if we know about it, we can treat it. Dragonv has the best mages and best scientists within the world, there's not a single curse we can't treat and given Amazonians are not known for curse magic, it's merely a bluff." the queen said to her subjects unfazed by the threat.
"She has a point, if they had the ability to curse us, they wouldn't have gotten so easily overwhelmed. Still, that was incredible of you Queen Écarlate. An unexpected charge into the capital with a wedge formation with a strong Dragon force against the Amazonians and Adonians armies and taking out the 100 strong Royal Guard of the Amazonian Tribe and Adnosis Tribe and slayed the God Queen of the country of Caleum while Belserion took down the God King of Minstrel , it's an unprecedented move." Grand General Kajeel explained to everyone impressed at the power of his queen.
"Yeah, but due to the injuries she's sustained, she won't be able to have another child. I've done all I can to prevent any life-threatening injuries to the child but it seems like the injuries have left you incapable of having more children."The man with the glasses said to the queen in the bluntest fashion.
"Thanks, Huey McGarden, you've done your job here. Had not for your renowned medicines and treatments, I wouldn't have made it past many battles all these years. You did your country Bosco for my child, I intended to only have one child and grateful that my daughter survived the battle." Écarlate explained to the doctor as she hugs the lanky doctor nearly squeezing the life out of the poor petite man.
"You're…welcome…Someone, help me." Huey replied as he struggles to move. Despite being weakened by pregnancy, Écarlate's hugs were still fatal. Charles removes Huey from the unintentional death grip, boob pillow hug of Écarlate.
"You have given birth to such a beautiful child." Kajeel said to his queen.
"Glad you agree Kajeel. Now that we treated our wounds, it's time you guys leave me and my husband as well as Belserion to ourselves…You've all done enough for your queen. Take refuge within the village of Rosemary and party and be merry ." the queen commanded.
"You mean the recently formed refugee town you named after your love for the Rosemary Cherry Blossoms?" Kajeel asked.
"The same one… I like to be alone with my one-day-old child." Écarlate said to her men as she orders them to leave.
The men all head into the nearby town of Rosemary to party and celebrate their victory within Caleum. Irene tries to grab one of the soldiers but they're like illusions she's experiencing.
"Queen Écarlate is so fucking awesome." said one soldier.
"She took on those Amazons and Adnoiss like nothing." another soldier replied.
"Our queen is a One Woman Army." Another soldier cheered as he walks past Irene unaware of her existence.
"This is like one giant Illusion…So surreal!" Irene said to herself as she watches people pass her.
"So what should we name our child my Queen? " Charles asks his wife as she starts to breastfeed her recently born child.
"Don't be so formal around me Charles, it's not a good look for a King after all. I married you because of your manliness, not because of your submissive nature. So what named do you have in mind with this child? " Queen Écarlate asked her husband.
"I think we should name her Écarlate like you, my queen." Charles asked.
"Nah too cliche, I want an actual name for my daughter. How about Irene?" Écarlate answered with her own suggestion as she breastfeeds Irene.
"Irene?" Charles asked perplexed by the name.
"Irene is Gaerican for peace. Many Dragonvians share the same blood as the Minsterians and the Caleumians that were once part of the same great Gaerican Empire prior to the dark curse that divided the sexes and created over 1,000 years of bloodshed which granted them the power to fight on par with Dragons which allowed them to liberate themselves from the tyranny of dark dragons however created two races out of genders that battled each other for supremacy. The day Irene was born, I helped put an end to the battle of the sexes once and for all. Her name would represent the peace that I've fought my entire life to maintain, a goal in which love would prevail." Queen Écarlate explained to her husband as she holds the baby in hands.
"It's a beautiful name Écarlate. The child who would maintain the peace of the world the Dragonv Empire and Fiore have been trying to maintain for the last century. Hopefully, peace maintains itself for I would had to have our baby girl endure the horrors of war like we had to. It's also fitting because the last queen of Gareica was also named Irene who named herself after the Goddesse of peace who was said to have been the White Angel that formed Mount Zonia to defeat the Black Angel according to Gaerican and Crocus mythology." Queen Écarlate explained to her husband as she removes part of her outfit to begin breastfeeding her child.
"We haven't been this close to peace since the founding of Dragonv. Between our 100 year border wars with the Serena Kingdom using the Dark Dragon Tribes to recapture the land our ancestors liberated from their control and countless attempts from the Far Eastern border with Alasiktia from the west to take over Dragonv from the Dark Dragon Continent, Dragonv has been on a slow decline from countless skirmishes and conflicts. The economy was doing so badly that we had to allow the Isghai Sea Kingdom of Atlantis to become it's own independent kingdom while maintaining relations with it. Hopefully, with this era of peace, propesirty can flourish within this great land." King Charles explained to Erza as he hugs her while she's breastfeeding.
"Indeed. I take no pleasure in taking a life however if it's to maintain the peace, I have no choice. It bothers me greatly that we live in a world in which Dragons and humans fight each other over pointless disputes and that much of humanity remains at the mercy of the Dark Dragon Tribe and humans would willfully sacrifice their own to appease the Dark Dragons as if they were gods." Queen Écarlate stated as she looks with dread as she thinks of the lives she had to take to maintain the freedom for her people.
"Indeed Lady Écarlate, it's sad that there are a handful of powerful Dragons that abuse their power, however, we have to be wary of them. In the future, the Dark Dragon Tribe would return and we must be ready for them."Berlesion explained to Écarlate ruining her moment.
"Must you always be so negative Belreison? " Queen Écarlate asked.
"You haven't lived over 1,000 years to know that peace at best only last as long as you have power and control. The moment you show even the slightest sign of weakness is when that peace ends. The Sage Dragon Tribe thought they've found a way to obtain peace 5,000 years ago but they were wiped out by the Dark Dragon Race over 2,000 years ago. My mother and family were one of the few survivors before they too were killed by the Dark Dragons. I'm the only surviving Sage Dragon in the world which is very difficult given Sage Dragons have problems breeding. We got careless and arrogant thinking we solved Dragonkind and humanities problems which lead to our downfall." Belreison explained to Queen Écarlate.
"I understand your concern Belreison. Anyone who went through what you went through would have every right to be defensive at all times however that's the past. We shouldn't forget the past yet not dwell and obsess over it. I'm very thankful for your service to the family for centuries. Had not for you, Dragonv as a kingdom wouldn't exist and the idea that humans and Dragons can live in peace would've never even known to exist, however, for today, we should all enjoy this beautiful scenery with these beautiful cherry blossom bloom within the Mid Spring. Every April 27, cherry blossoms bloom the strongest within this beautiful land that are unlike anything within this continent Looking back at it Sakura wouldn't have been a better name for Irene but it's too corny, I prefer Irene for my child." Écarlate explained to the dragon as she marvels at the cherry blossoms coming down from the sky.
"Your ancestor Satsuki Mujika did a great job importing the Gappionese Cherry Blossoms into our country Fiore with flowers infused with the cherry blossom bloom to grow on the ground." Belserion said to the queen as he picks up flower petals with his massive Dragon hands.
"Indeed, every year on Irene's birthday, we would have a picnic within this spot in honor of her birth and peace that we helped created Charles." Écarlate said to her two closest comrades.
"Indeed my queen! I'm prepared to fight and die to help you obtain this piece." the king replied as he hugs her and holds the baby while the queen goes to break out into a song.
"O, strastnyye, strastnyye, strastnyye chuvstva is basically cherez moye serdtse stali
O, emblema na moyey levoy ruke dokazyvayet, chto ya sil'no, sil'no, sil'no perezhivu zavtra
YA idu vmeste so svoimi druz'yami, kotoryye pokazyvayut dragotsennyye, siniye ulybki

Oh, passionate, passionate, passionate feelings flow through my heart of steel
Oh, the emblem on my left arm proves I'll strongly, strongly, strongly live through tomorrow
I go together with my friends who show precious, blue smiles
Wings of liberty always spread in the heart's sky
Amid a storm surge, I wear my sword elegantly, slaying and tearing through dimensions
I flap my wings for justice with prayers judging the darkness and praising the moment of radiance
Proudly I fight! I fight!
Oh, my bursts of tears are pierced
By the shadow of a distant, distant, distant memory
Oh, from the sunken eyes of a friend
Raindrops of grief stream, stream, stream
We're together even on days when we regret the fleeting, crimson sunset
A flower of miracles always blooms in the heart's sky
Wiping away the intense loneliness, I embrace a lone bastion of broken truth
The cry of a wandering life and carrying the burden of love is my power
Discarding fear, I fly! I fly!
A trembling, black test of our thriving dreams
Stand up
Wind of courage always wakes in the heart's sky
In the dazzling light, I fix powerful enemies in my moist eyes and strike them down
I wish to take flight and return to the sky for the sake of saving the comrades I love
The day of freedom, I earn it! I earn it! " Queen Écarlate sang with a joyous song within a slow melody while playing in the flower fields. She then grabs the baby and holds her in her hands.
"This song I sang represents freedom and liberty passed down by my ancestors. A song that represents the call to freedom and liberty. You will carry down this song to your child and the next, my dear Irene. Never give up hope and carry the torch of liberty to future generations. Perhaps one day when I'm long dead, I would be reborn again to help fight for freedom once more." Queen Écarlate said to her daughter as she holds her high while Irene as an adult watches from a distance and gets up close to her mother and her baby self and grabs on to her newborn self.
"So this is how I came to be… The love between the strongest woman and strongest ruler within the world Queen Écarlate Hiro Mujika Dragonv the Second who is one of 3 daughters from her long deceased parents and Prince Charles Knightwalker, the White Knight within the Royal Guard of Fiore and Leader of the Cherry Blossom division and one of the 5 children of the king. It's a lot more serene than I could recall, then again it's surprising I could even recall this at all considering I was born. It's ironic that my name meant peace considering what I would become later on." Irene said to herself as she stares at herself as a baby.
(A/N: And that is the prologue to the Fairy Tail One storyline. Yep, Irene is reliving her life again in the precipice of death, seeing how everything began before everything ended for her. Yes, Dragonv is essentially the Earthland version of Mother Russia if you haven't guessed by the Russian rendition of Ohara Sayaka's Wings of Liberty song. Dragonv going by the original translation of the kingdoms name seems to be based on the word Dragunov which is a Russian Sniper Rifle and wrote Dragonv to be a play on words for the country.
As for Giappone, it's Italian for Japan which is the Earthland name for Japan within Fairy Tail One. It's also the location of Satsuki Mujika, the mother of the first queen of Erza. For those not familiar with the reference, it's based on the recent one-shot manga Starbitter Satsuki set within an Earthland Verison of Japan made by the same creator of Fairy Tail Hiro Mashima with Satsuki greatly resembling a younger Erza Scarlet. Believe me that I intend to make that appearance more than a coincidence considering Erza's love of swords as well as Satsuki.
So yeah there's definitely some intentional similarities between Irene and Erza and Big Boss and Solid Snake. Erza is basically both of Russian and Japanese descent basically within this fanfiction much like Solid Snake is of American and Japanese descent within the games. I originally planned to have Erza's lineage within the Alakitasia continent but given the recent canon which is the catalyst to the fanfic basically stated it was Dragon dominated and her mother is from Dragonv, that was scrapped. Either way, this works given Erza has a distinctively Nordic or Slavic appearance while having several features that are also common with the Japanese. Also, I figure to base it similar to Metal Gear given Hiro Mashima going by his twitter feed is a big fan of the Metal Gear Solid series.
Speaking of Metal Gear, Fairy Tail One is the Metal Gear Solid 3 Snake Eater to Fairy Tail's Metal Gear Solid, Son's of Liberty and Guns of the Patriots while Fairy Tail Zero is the Metal Gear Solid 5 to the Fairy Tail series. Huey McGraden is based on Hal Emmerich's father Huey Emmerich and yes his future so would be Hal McGraden which is the distant ancestor of Levy McGraden and yes Hal would a quesseitinal competent into the development of Dragon Slayer powers alongside Irene and Belserion, after all, while Iren and Belerison developed the power, someone had to write down the books, manuals and help harvest the Dragon Seeds project for mass use and while Irene is clever, she couldn't possibly do such a large scale operation on her own
For those who played Skyrim and noticed a slimairty between how briefly Dragonv was represented and the games, this is going to be a very Skyrim like storyline regarding the parts of Irene's backstory having a mixture of Norse mythology with Russian Mysticism. Ther'es going to be alot more worldbuilding in this story than in canon and far more than the last fanfic Bleach Shippuden which was merely a crossover of two existing series rather than building everything from scratch like here.
As for when we get to Fairy Tail, don't expect things to be a mere rehash of canon when we get to the escapades of Natsu and Erza, due to some major plot-related details which I will not spoil, things are going to be different depending on arcs with some events and arcs being radically different from canon. For example, due to the vast amounts of awesome characters introduced within the first and second timeskip, the events of Edolas are completely different from canon and don't expect the Dragon Festival Arc to be the same pointless arc from canon. That's all I'm going to say to that regarding changes from canon.
And yeah I'm doing the whole life flashback before the eyes angle a bit here for the most part with almost everything being told within Irene's perspective, however, she's not the only main character. Anna Heartfilla is also the main character given she is part of the reason the 400 year plan even exist and even Zeref can be considered the main character here and trust me when I say much like Irene, I intend to do them justice unlike canon and don't worry I'll find a way to deal with Zeref.
As for Ohara Sayaka's Wings of Liberty song., I couldn't resist putting in this song because it is an awesome song and sounds like a song for a separate anime. Well, this is the closest you're going to get to an Erza centric anime, however before the Erza haters jump down on me Erza is not the only focus, Natsu, Lucy, and others would be developed just as well and expect some side characters to be developed much better(Looking at you Lisanna). Unlike Bleach Shippuden which had too many OC's, there would much less OC's here and more utilization of characters with potential. Anyways hope you enjoy the pilot chapter because next chapter, we would explore the world of Dragonv.)
