AN: Hey every reader that is reading this currently, it's Edward here. I thank all those who are reading this, seeing as this my first time with a time line restriction (in the story, not the real world) on the story, and my first Fairy Tail, so I hope I do it justice. Can't believe it only took me a few hours to get this finished. I hope that this little prologue for the story can satisfy you until I figure out where to truly start the story. The characters name is Izaya Tsubasa. He is a character I came up with for Fatherfail's story "The Silence Uprising." It's a good story and though not very far it is very well developed. Now, so you all know and for all future references, I do not own Fairy Tail. If I did, do you think that I would be writing fanfiction about it? And also… never mind, thought I had something, but didn't. Anyway, to the story prologue.
Prologue
It was night, and I was sure I was the only one who was still up. I grabbed the bag from my closet that I had prepared earlier for packing. I gathered my things, and packed up everything I owned. I grabbed my amulets and put them into my pockets, making sure that my rings were on my hand. For a brief moment I thought about leaving a note, but decided against it. There was no use in doing so, if I had, then they would worry about me even more then needed. I exited my room and left my house, hoping no one heard me.
I walked over to the guild, stopping in front of Makarov's door. I left my resignation for him, letting know that I would be leaving. I looked around; savoring every memory I had here. This place had the happiest memories of my life and was the best thing that could happen to anyone. There I go getting sentimental again, the longer I stay, the harder it will be to leave. But leaving was easier than staying, where they could all get hurt. I leave before I can change my mind.
As I walk outside, I am stopped by a familiar group of people: Natsu, Happy, Mirajane, Erza, Lucy, Grey, and of course Makarov, the only ones in the guild I trusted the most and could call my nakama. They all look at me, hoping for some answer, but I give them none. "Please don't stop me. I have to do this alone," I say to them, hoping they'd understand. But before I can tell if they do or not, Natsu grabs me by the shirt collar, picking me off the ground a little bit. He had look of pure anger mixed with confusion on his face.
"Why Izaya?" He asked. He tightens his grip on your shirt before setting you back down. "Why are you leaving? I thought we were all nakama. Do you not consider us your friends?" He asked, tears of anger and confusion rolling down his face. This is exactly why I was trying to leave before anyone noticed. A goodbye is exactly what I don't need right now.
"It's because we're friends that I'm leaving Natsu. I'm about to do something that will probably get me killed, or worse. That would ruin Fairy Tails name forever." I say, pausing to let them digest this. "No one will think of the times where you helped the people of the town and saved the guild masters from the Lullaby demon. Forever will you be ruined and no one will ever join Fairy Tail again." They understand, but they can never understand my reason for doing this. "I guess this is good bye then Natsu."
Mirajane steps forward, tears streaking her beautiful face. She comes and hugs me, surprising me. "Please be safe and promise you'll come back," she tells me. I return her hug, tears threatening to fall, but I hold them back. We let go of each other, begins to back away, but I stop her.
"I can't make a promise like that Mira," I tell her, and she becomes sad again. "But I can leave a little insurance policy that I will return." I pull out of my pocket an amulet in the shape of a dagger. She's is shocked, knowing full well what this amulet means to me. "Keep this safe and I know I'll come back." She nods and takes it, backing away so everyone else can say their goodbyes.
Lucy comes forward next, trying her best not to cry. I give her the best smile that I can, hoping to cheer her up. Instead she just gives me a hug, which I was kind of expecting, but not so much. I hug back, and fight back the tears that threaten to fall.
Erza comes forward looking cool and calm. She simply stretches out her hand, which I accept with my own. "May our blades cross paths once again." I tell her. She knows what I mean by this, and simply nods. She steps back and lets the next person go.
It was Grey's turn next. I looked at him and only have to say a few words so that he'll understand, "Clothes." He realizes he isn't wearing any and just shrugs it off, giving me a little nod before leaving.
Finally its Makarov's turn. I step forward, unsure of what to say to him. He holds up his hand to stop me before I start. "Go," he says. "If it's that important to you then how can I hold you back. Now go before I change my mind." He gives me a fatherly smile and I return it. Everything that I learned from him would stay with me for the rest of my life, I knew that for certain.
I pull out another amulet, this one shaped like a windmill. I hold it in front of me, and a horse appeared in a puff of smoke. I look back at my friends, unable to give them all a proper good bye. "Armament," I say to the horse, "Behemoth." The legendary black bike appeared before me where the horse was once before. I turn to say one last thing before I leave. "These are not the last times we will ever meet, I promise you that. And even though I'm alone, you are all helping me." I can no longer hold the tears back. I give into my humanity for the first time in 11 years. "Don't forget how strong the bonds of friendship can be. It's what kept me going, so it should keep all of you going to." I give them a smile that was filled with happiness, something I had forgotten. "No matter what, remember you always have your friends behind you lending you their strength."
With the last words of wisdom I may ever tell them, I mount Behemoth and take off. I know that they will never forget them. I smile to myself, thinking myself stupid for giving into my humanity and emotions before I leave. But deep down I know that it was what I wanted, to show them my true feelings before I left.
With me gone, the other guilds may think Fairy Tail has weakened, but they are wrong. The power of Fairy Tail will never change, whether one or more of the members leave. Fairy Tail may have lost its Wings, but the body is strong enough to withstand anything that challenges it. For Fairy Tail is, and will always be, the strongest guild there ever shall be.
AN: The "+++" separate skips in time. Well that finishes this off for the prologue, still can't believe that I got it done this fast. Now to just figure out where to truly start off the story. Where the story of my character begins, or where the story of the Wings begins. But until I when I get to that point in the process, which should be soon, I will have it up the day after I finish it. Hope you all liked it, love to read your reviews, the little I get, and let me know how I did. Even burns that will help me in my process for the story are accepted. Please let me know how I did, because I get really self-conscious if I don't get anything and think I suck, which affects my mind set when writing future chapters, so I implore you to let me know what I could improve on and what you think if you like this. So until next time, thank you for your time.
