Hello and welcome to my first story. First story that I have ever followed through on, so try and cut me some slack on the bad quality. Anyways, enjoy!
A New Light
The Guild was the same as always. Drearily quiet. It has been two years since the Tenrou incident, and the guild had moved into an old tavern on the outskirts of Magnolia. Romeo was training outside, practicing his fire magic, when he saw a man stumble out of the woods. The man had short golden hair, with gold studs in his ears. The man wore no shirt and had brown puffed up pants that turned skintight a bit below his knee. He wore sandals and golden bracelets on his wrists. He was covered in dirt and dried blood from what Romeo saw. The man stumbled towards the guild but collapsed a few feet before the young fire mage. Romeo turned towards the guild and yelled for help. Jet came out and saw the blond man and together he and Romeo carried the man inside.

My eyes started to open and I saw a small babyish face peering right into mine. "What the fu-" I yelled as I fell out of the bed. The baby that had been on me giggled as she clung to my hair. I pulled the smiling baby off my face and looked around the room. It looked like a room you would find in a cheap tavern. The door to the room opened and a green haired woman stepped through. "I see you two have already met." She giggled, " My name is Bisca and that's Asuka."
I handed her the baby and bowed slightly. "The name is Saul. Saul Deslayer." I looked around once more. "Where am I, if you don't mind?" She smiled sadly and replied. "This is the magic guild, Fairy Tail. A few years ago we were the best guild in Fiore, but now.." "It's fine Miss, you don't have to tell me." I told her.
"No, its fine. Two years ago all of the guild's most powerful mages went to Tenrou island to take S Class Exams. Then, suddenly the entire island just disappeared." She told me. "But enough chat, lets go meet the rest of the guild!"
"Alright, I look forward to thanking them!" I got up off the floor and we headed out the door. Once outside of the small room I looked around. It was a decent sized room with tables, chairs, and stools scattered around. In one side of the room there was a bar. There was a small request board in the room as well but it was mostly empty.
"Not many people here." I mused. "Most of the other members left when the island disappeared and the requests dried up." She told me.

I had met the few members left in the guild, including the Master, Macao. A few hours passed and I cleaned up,ate and drank. Finally, here I was, sitting in front of Macao, about to tell him my story. "You see Master Macao, This first started a few months back. I am an apprentice and was trained at a small mountain temple where I was left as an infant.
My temple was attacked by shadow-like creatures and was destroyed." I told him. "I was the only survivor, and as I escaped a dozen or so of the creatures followed me. These past few weeks I have been hunted by them until I came here.
"So where are the creatures now?" Macao asked. " I managed to destroy all but one of them." I replied.
The door to the hall suddenly blasted opened and a manlike shadow monster stepped through. It was wiry, with sharpened teeth and spiked hair; all pure black.
"Stand back!" Someone in the crowd shouted. The creature looked around, seemingly searching for something. Its not-eyes landed on Saul and it leaped towards him.
Time seemed to slow down for a moment as Saul cursed under his breath and raised a hand. "Light Arrow." He murmured. A narrow beam of light shot from his fingertips and shot through the Shadow Beings chest. Time sped up and the creature exploded into shadows.
A silence spread through the mostly empty hall. "What was that?" Macao questioned wide eyed as the shadows drifted away.
