This is rated M because I'll be using the manga at times and the manga gets graphic.
Once upon a time, there was a continent called Ishgar, and one called Alakitasia.
Alakitasia is where this story takes place, under the protection of one certain guild there…
Spriggan Tale, a guild with certain familiar faces...
For this is a story you know fairly well… A sort of spin on it.
Welcome to this world that is neither Earthland nor is it Edolas… This is…
The world of the ugly fairies… Draconia.
"Huh…? This place is…" a young boy of about ten stood from where he laid. He had messy pink hair, dark eyes, and wore a dark button-up tank top, a white sash around his waist, black pants, and sandals. Around his neck was a white scarf with a scale-like pattern. He looked around, spotting four other children and an unmoving woman. He faltered when he noticed the woman, and ran to the closest person - a boy around his age with spiky black hair, three studs over each eye, of which replaced his eyebrows. The boy wore a white long-sleeved shirt, black pants, and little boots.
"Gajeel! Gajeel, wake up!" he exclaimed, frantically shaking the other boy.
"Wahh… Natsu…?" groaned 'Gajeel'.
"Wake up… I don't know what to do… Miss Anna isn't moving…" Natsu whimpered, "I don't want the others to see her…"
"What?!" Gajeel shot up, looking at the woman nearby. He ran to her and began shaking her. He faltered after a few shakes and rolled her onto her back, listening to her heard and then checking her pulse.
"She's dead…" Gajeel bowed his head, "Eclipse must have done something… Maybe your brother got his info wrong…"
"That's impossible! Nii-chan is the smartest ever!" Natsu exclaimed. Gajeel sighed.
"We… Have to wake up the others. It's not like this is the first time we've seen death." he stated. Natsu faltered and looked to the other children - he didn't want five year olds to see this… But Gajeel was the oldest, so his word was law. With a sigh, Natsu woke up the other three.
There was only one female, and she had short blue hair, and wore a dark v-neck t-shirt with a diamond pattern colored yellow, a white pleated skirt, and little sandals. Together with her was a boy with pale blond hair, dark eyes, and a scar on his right 'brow. He wore a dark-colored long-sleeved shirt with the sleeves rolled up, a white-colored vest, tan pants, and sandals. The last boy seemed to have shaved his head, with a small amount of black hair covering his head. He had red eyes and wore a white robe with a simple outfit underneath.
"Wendy…" he went to the girl first, gently shaking her.
"Hnng… Natsu-nii…?" she mumbled.
"Get up, Wends… Wake up Rogue for me, okay?" Natsu said. Wendy nodded a little, moving to the black-haired boy while cutely rubbing her eyes. Natsu moved to the blond boy and shook him a bit rougher than the way he shook Wendy.
"Sting, wake up." he stated. He dodged Sting's punch as the younger male woke up.
"Nnng… Natsu-niichan?" he grunted. He looked up at Natsu, who helped him up.
"...Don't freak out, okay?" he showed the youngers the dead form of their caretaker. Wendy started to cry, grabbing ahold of Natsu's arm. Sting and Rogue both froze in shock.
"M-Miss Anna…?" Sting questioned.
"Help me bury her, you two!" Gajeel grunted. Sting and Rogue were forced out of their shock and both ran to the eldest of them, helping him dig, though Gajeel could have easily done it himself - he could turn his hand into a shovel! Natsu held Wendy as the others buried Anna, only going over when Gajeel marked the grave by 'detaching' the shovel from his hand. Natsu enveloped his finger in flame.
"What… What should I write?" Natsu asked, glancing at the others, "I'm... Not very good at stuff like this…"
"Just write 'here lies Anna Heartfillia'." Gajeel said. Natsu nodded and began writing carefully on the shovel, the heat of his flames allowing him to write in the iron what Gajeel had said. He looked back at Gajeel once he finished.
"...Let's go find your brother… Or, at least… Where he are." Gajeel stated "And when. What was the year when we left?"
"X377." Wendy spoke up. Gajeel nodded.
"Let's get going." he started walking, taking Rogue's hand in his, and dragging the younger boy along. Wendy and Sting took Natsu's hands and followed.
"Mommy…?" a young girl with blonde hair to her shoulders and brown eyes crawled onto the bed of a woman who looked identical. The little girl wore a little pink silk dress and a white satin vest.
The woman smiled at the little girl.
"I'll be okay, Lucy…" she promised, "Our Emperor and Empress… Are creating a cure as we speak." she rubbed Lucy's head gently. Lucy nodded.
"Okay, Mommy! Can I sleep with you until you're all better? You're not contagious, right?" Lucy asked.
"Of course, Lucy." Layla nodded, and Lucy happily snuggled up at her mother's side.
"I believe in Emperor Zeref and Empress Mavis, Mommy!" she happily exclaimed.
"I know, Lucy." Layla smiled.
"Mother, will we be training today?" a young girl with shoulder-length scarlet hair and brown eyes walked up to a white and scarlet dragon. The dragon lowered her head so that she could look her daughter in her eyes.
"Yes, Erza, but later." stated Irene Belserion, "Today you will be meeting some friends… Children from across Alvarez."
Erza's eyes sparkled, "Really, Mother?" Irene nodded.
"When?" Erza asked. Irene raised her head.
"...Now." she raised her voice, "Bring them in!"
Twelve children entered, all of varying ages. Erza's face broke out into a large smile as she introduced herself to such a large group.
...To Sho Tarot, Simon Tsuki, Kagura Tsuki, Sorano Aria, Yukino Aria, Richard Farmer, Wally Farmer, Millianna Neko, Erik Orochi, Kinana Medusa, Sawyer Mach, and Macbeth Grimm.
"Dad… Mom…" sobbed a young boy with messy, spiky, raven hair. He was in a hospital room, in between the beds of two people of whom he resembled. They had gotten severely injured in a demon raid…
He grit his teeth, hugging himself.
"I can't… Let this happen to me…" his eyes were shadowed.
"Why don't you come with me, then?" a young girl with purple-tinted black hair in a bob and dark eyes peeked in.
"Go with you…?" he looked over, tears still flowing. The girl nodded.
"Mhm! I'm Ultear Yuuki!" she smiled.
"...Gray Fullbringer." Gray muttered. He looked away.
"Why?" he asked. Ultear blinked before smiling.
"My mama doesn't mind taking in children with nowhere to go, plus she teaches us magic. I just though it was a nice offer." she stated. Gray blinked.
"...Fine."
Ultear cheered and happily dragged Gray away from the room.
I'll avenge you guys…
Not long after Gray was dragged away, the sound of two E flats in tandem was heard.
This is the tale of the ugly fairies! What will happen in Draconia, where everything happened so differently?!
Prologue: Welcome to Our Lives Part 1
This is the beginning of a story I've been plotting for awhile!
I'll be following a similar story to Fairy Tail - only with some twists. As you can see, this takes place in Alvarez instead of Fiore.
I hope you enjoy this!
