1. Prologue

Oh wow. I haven't posted a story in forever! But it felt like the right time and this is a project I have wanted to try for a while!

The character of Iakka Fliaffo is credited to my cousin (THANK YOU!)

The character of Kaia Glass is a character of my own creation.

Disclaimer: I, Shadowed Cherry Blossoms, do not own Fairy Tail.

The year was X812. It had been twenty years since the end of the war with the Alvarez Empire. The war had been rough, but the kingdom of Fiore had pulled through with the help of the magical guilds throughout the land. One in particular that helped tremendously was the guild known as Fairy Tail. They were incredibly powerful twenty years prior during the war, and so remained as it became more and more popular. However, while Fairy Tail maintained their position as top guild in Fiore, other guilds had started to form and the general power of the other guilds increased as well. One such guild was Hydra Fang.

Hydra Fang was a recent addition to the ever growing list of legal guilds, being formed only ten years ago in the year X802. The guild, while reputable, continued to struggle in terms of just how many members filled out the ranks. Though they struggled, the guild master held firm and continued forward to achieve greatness for the guild. That guild master was one Iakka Fliaffo, a semi well known wizard in the western part of Fiore for her use of a particular type of lost magic, Sky Devil Slayer Magic.

April X812, the month that things started to change in the Hydra Fang guild.

A woman of about forty-five strolled along, heading towards a small forest that most maps didn't note, not far from Dawn City. The woman, though forty-five in age, only appeared to be no more than thirty. She stood at a height of five feet, four inches and she was slim. Her muscles appeared lean, though she did have some curve to her form. Her eyes were almond shaped and a sharp purple color. Her hair was auburn and reached her mid-thigh in length, despite the fact that it was curled into loose ringlets. Her outfit consisted of a collared, long-sleeved dress. The skirt of the dress was waist-cut and black, while the bodice of the dress was white. On her feet, she had put on a pair of stockings and a pair of porpoise gray, ankle boot flats. Over this, she wore a hooded cloak that was ivory in color.

"Aw man! Why did we build the guild hall so far from town?" she whined as she traveled. She frowned in consideration. "Oh right… They wouldn't let her be a constant presence in town," she mumbled. She paused for a moment, staring intently at a significantly sized rock on the road. "Argh! Why did I have to get stuck with such a nuisance! That Glass girl should be as fragile as her name!" she wailed, lashing out and kicking the rock as hard as she could.

"Ow!" A feminine voice called out from the direction the rock had sailed. A figure stepped out from the tree line a few hundred feet away. "What was that for?!" she snapped at the older woman. The figure was that of a young woman that appeared to be around seventeen in age. She was five foot, eight inches in height, and her muscular build was not that different than the older woman, also being lean muscled. Her curves were more pronounced than the older woman, however. Her eyes were more upturned and were a sea green in color. The girl's hair was a forest green and pulled into a high ponytail (tied off with a gray ribbon), her bangs being pushed to her right, but otherwise untouched. She was wearing a green, off the shoulder crop top that ended just below her bust. Paired with it, she wore a black skirt that reached her mid-thigh in length. On her feet, she wore a pair of black, knee high boots. Given her outfit, a scar could be see crossing her mid-section.

The older woman sighed at the appearance of the girl. "Oh, Kaia. Sorry about that, just a little frustrated," she muttered. She strode up to the taller woman. "I always forget how far our hall is from town. I wonder if that's why we haven't had many recruits," she considered. "Anyway, what are you doing here?" she questioned.

"Oh! Funny you should mention the lack of recruits, because that's why I came to find you, Master!" Kaia answered, a grin on her face. "You see, there are some people waiting for you at the guild! I got the mage vibe from them, but didn't notice any marks, so I think we got some recruits on our hands!" she explained.

The woman's eyes lit up. "Kaia, my dear, I think our little guild may just get a little more exciting!" she cheered, pumping her right arm into the air. With that motion, she flashed a light gray mark on her wrist. The image was that of a stylized serpent with three heads, the middle head facing forward while the other faced opposite directions. The mark of the Hydra Fang guild.

Okay! That wraps up the prologue! On to the main purpose of this chapter! This story is an SYOC and I will be accepting characters, both good and evil. For now, I will be accepting members for the light guild. I will update the story and let it be known when I will accept characters for the dark guild. Before we get to the form, though, I'd like to lay out a few ground rules.

1. Please, please, please! Send your form by PM if you have that option! This rule is mostly in place as I feel some submissions through reviews can be lacking in information and it becomes more difficult to write the character to be close to what you intended.

2. Slayers: Yes I will be accepting slayers. Probably only a maximum of three others for the light guild, and likely no other Devil Slayers. Also, keep in mind that I won't accept First or Third Generation Dragon Slayers. (And I recommend being unique with the Slayer magic)

3. Please be creative with the magic! Characters can use similar types of magic to the canonical characters, but please don't copy a character's entire spell set.

4. Hybrids: This is why the species category exists. I am accepting hybrids and even those of species other than dragon. If I see dragon as even part of the species, I am not accepting it.

5. Pets: Please be aware that the magic used by pets must be rather weak. The exception is an Exceed that is able to utilize a battle form. Other than that, please do not over power the pets.

Now that that's out of the way, I have included the form below, but I will also add it to my profile!

Until next time! ~ Shadowed
