Hi there readers :) I'm back with another Fairy Tail fic! This is going to be my second large project (the first being Curiosity) and will be over twenty chapters long. Well I hope it will be anyway!
If you get confused about anything, let me know because I know this will get confusing! Trust me I know!
Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail or it's characters, only my own imagination
Preface
Stars glint high above the young family, camped out on the banks of the Crystal River. The mother, a young woman with long, brown hair and brown eyes, rocks her youngest child in her arms. The baby, a boy of two, stares up at the sky with wide eyes. His mother can see the stars reflecting in those tiny blue orbs and smiles lightly, before glancing up at her husband. He smiles back, his muscular arms wrapped around the skinny waist of their daughter.
"Daddy?" she says, staring up at the sky much like her younger brother.
"Yes, Lola?" he replies, running a hand through her navy blue hair. She turns her brown eyes on him, so much like her mothers, a frown on her face.
"How do the stars stay in the sky?" Her voice is deadly serious and it takes all her fathers self control not to laugh. "Is it magic?"
"Yes, it is magic," he whispers, too low for his wife to hear. She disapproved of anything out of the ordinary, though he had no clue why. "And when the magic runs out the stars fall, as there is nothing keeping them up. It is a sad day for a star when it falls, as it will no longer be able to feel the magic it once had."
"That's so sad," little Lola murmurs, staring at the stars above her. She hoped dearly that they would stay up there forever; she loved the way the sparkled and shined. Like little lights, just for her. "Where does the magic come from, Daddy?"
"It's inside all of us Lola," he reply's, smiling down at her. "It's our thoughts and feelings, the way we love and feel joy. We provide a kind of magic which can keep the stars aloft for centuries. We just need to keep loving and they will never fall."
"But Daddy," the young girls says, staring hard at the sky, " those four stars are falling."
Sure enough, when he looks to where her finger leads, three blazing lights race across the the colour of molten gold, one the colour of blue ice, one the colour of fire red and the last the colour of the ocean. The young girl frowns and tears come to her eyes. She is so sure that it's her fault, that she did not loive enough.
"Some stars aren't even stars at all, Wendy," her father says suddenly. "They are angels. And when angles fall they leave a trail of light much like a star."
"But why do angels fall?"
"Because they found that the love of the human world is much greater than that of where the come from."
"Where is that, Daddy?" she asks, watching the lights disappear from her view.
"It has many names, Lola, but lets just call it the After."
"Is it nice there?"
"It's meant to be, but I wouldn't know as I have never been," he whispers.
"Are there other things like angels out there, Daddy?" Lola says after a pause, her fingers tracing the trails of coloured light left behind.
"Yes, there are a few other creatures," comes the reply. "Demons, both good and bad. Faeries with wings of silk and dressed coloured in every colour you can think off. The half-lings, children on angels and faeries. And the hunters, trained to find the magical creatures of this world and take them."
"Why would the do that?" Lola asks, horrified.
"No one knows, my child," he sighs. "No one has ever known."
As he says this, the four lights pass from the families view and off into the distant night. The other stars twinkle and shine, just like normal. One, however, flashes brightly. A sign. Things where about to change.
And that's part on complete :) The little girl has no significance to the plot I guess, I just felt like putting in a extra chapter at the start. I hope you guys don't mind :)
Stay tuned for chapter 1 :D
