Everyone would come to know the night as the Night of the Blood Moon, the night where humanity was no longer the dominant species of the world. Waves upon waves of demons invaded from a mysterious island that rose from the sea. Their terrifying might and horrid powers overwhelmed the unsuspected wizards of the world, and the demons quickly seized control of the royal palace in Icroalas, establishing the Gahena Empire ruled by the Court of Madness and their terrifying Heralds of Madness.
Immediately, Magic was labeled illegal and carried the most devastating punishments: a grisly public execution or enslavement for the macabre gladiatorial games run for the demons merriment. When all hope seems lost, a small spark ignites the fire of rebellion. A group of powerful wizards banded together to form the underground Fairy Rebellion, right in the heart of enemy territory.
Lucy Heartphilia, the daughter of simple carpenters, became an orphan on the Night of the Blood Moon, and now lives day to day on the streets of Icroalas, trying to survive in the evergrowing dangerous environment. But when a public execution goes awry, and Lucy's latent magical powers ignite, she's labeled as a target, and her only refuge is an invitation from a fiery, pink-haired wizard.
With the Osparian royal family still in chains in their own dungeons, the Fairy Rebellion is the only real justice that humans can believe. But their plans get bigger; they plan to strike the Court of Madness where it hurts, but will they succeed? Or will they see the true, devastating cost of rebellion?

A/N: All canon characters are not my creations, and all credit for them goes to Hiro Mashima, but all OC's and settings belong to me. Also, it's been a while since I've been able to actually sit down and write a story, so all reviews, critiques, and suggestions are more than welcome.
