Here it is – the start of the Sparkle story. Originally, this was going to be a super long one-shot. Then I realized that it should follow in the same mien as the original story it came from: Minor Villains. And so this shall be told in vignettes of varying lengths.
I have to apologize, for allowing Minor Villains to fall so far behind. I needed to plan this out, amongst other things. Updates for it should resume next week.
I can't believe that the Sparkles have become as popular and well-received as they have been in Minor Villains. When I found out what some of my buddies on this site were doing – discussing Sparkle food at length in their spare time – I just couldn't believe it. What abomination have I created…?
In any event, so begins the tale of the Sparkles.
Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail. Nor even the Sparkles, really.
Come one, come all.
Gather round, and listen to this tale.
For it is a story of life and death.
Of darkness and guiding light.
Companionship and steadfast loyalty.
Of bonds broken and reforged.
Sorrow and newfound joy.
Of hatred and fear.
Adventure and tribulation.
Good humor and the mysteries of Earthland.
But above all, 'tis a tale of love that surpasses all obstacles. It transcends the barriers of species, of gender, of social class, of physical appearance, of all the things that bind and crush all that is good in existence. With them, the emotions considered bad would disappear, as well. And where would Earthland be, then? For even the negative is a part of life's continuous cycle and without it pleasantness would fall to the wayside. As darkness is merely the absence of light, so the opposite of love lies not in hatred but in indifference.
And so, my beloved listeners, dear readers…
I must begin this story with a word of caution.
Within these pages lies a story about great ordeals and challenges.
Truths and lies shall be uncovered, and friendships sorely tested.
If it is worth the journey is up to you, of course.
And so I shall begin this narrative with where such things always should.
With a Sparkle.
Lots...
And lots of Sparkles.
And so it begins.
