Hello Everyone! Here is a brief glimpse into my version of what Bellum, Desierto, and Enca will be like as we explore the countries with Hiro Mashima's Fairy Tail characters as well as my newest addition, the Dabars family, that I have worked to create with a friend of mine. We have been working on this outline, together, for over 8 months now and I am finally ready to start putting our concept on paper!
Once I get a few chapters in and I start to bring in my character I will create a new "story" that will introduce you to each of them. If an author would like to use any of my characters or concepts from this story please refer to my profile on how to do so and the 2 steps that I would like you to follow. If there any other questions on using the characters please PM me otherwise I encourage you all to enjoy this new idea and please review!
Master Makarov sat in the peaceful silence of the airship he was currently on with Freed as they flew through the night to the Bellum Royal Palace. They would be arriving around eight am with breakfast to be served as they talked about the recent assassination of the King Elian of Desierto. King Elian was a peaceful man who had been ruling over the country for forty years, becoming king at the age of twenty-one. To learn of his death hadn't been a surprise since Elian was quite sure there was a conspiracy to kill him, no-one knew why though.
Desierto defended the border with Joya quite actively, trying to stop any and all black market trades from tarnishing the countries beliefs and laws. They were on relatively good terms with the ruling matriarch in that respect and had alliances with their neighboring countries, Iceberg and Sin. The only real cause for concern, in Makarov's eyes, was in particular trades with Enca. The island had several dealings in the slave trade and most black market affairs, especially in the way of magical artifacts.
King Elian had no living relatives to take over, so it fell to Bellum and their alliance, to help in the interim with leading the country. Several council members from Desierto would be meeting with the Bellum king and council along with himself and Freed in order to come up with a plan of action. Right now there was a woman in charge of running the desert country, the wife to the King Irwyn advisor, Omar Dabars. Makarov had never met the woman but he was great friends with Omar as they had bonded over their large families and often had drinks while at mutual business meetings.
Bellum was a beautiful country known for its jewel mining and the fact that there were no mage guilds, instead, everyone was expected to earn a living by entering the workforce. If you had magic abilities then you were generally in a profession where the mage's magic would be an asset. The Royal Guard was fifty-fifty when it came to mages versus non-mages, each skillset was unique to where they were placed in the palace and in terms of defending the country. Each were trained to be able to defend against the other since there are more creative ways popping up all the time to block magic or hinder it. Bellum had an elite guard posted at the border with Pergrande and had been successful in keeping the majority of all things illegal out of the country.
Omar himself was a weather mage, had come from a long line of the military elite that served the Bellum monarchs for decades. One would think a weather mage would be better suited for agricultural purposes but the man wasn't just an advisor. Omar was also the King's personal guard and had spent years training with the exclusive team plus with such versatile magic it was easy to be on the defensive or offensive when required. Makarov had been saved by the man once when they were at a summit in Minstrel. The leaders and ambassadors for each country met up several years ago to talk about the rumblings of Zeref and his dark followers and how to handle the situation. Makarov had been distraught over having to banish his grandson from Fairy Tail that he was unable to sense the man creeping up on him, with the intent to stab him. Omar had sent a bolt of electricity through the man, ending his life while saving Makarov's who was eternally grateful.
The Master of Fairy Tail was in awe of how much things had changed from waking up after their seven years of sleep on Tenrou until the dust settled after the battle with Tartaros. He would forever be thankful for what all of his children did to save them all but he still had feelings of guilt when he thought of how he had disbanded the guild in order to take off on a mission from the King of Magnolia. Being trapped with Emperor Spriggan hadn't been too bad and he was happy that everything was resolved without the threat of war. When he returned home the guild was being rebuilt but his family was very much in pieces.
He'd learned of Igneel's death, Natsu's reaction, and the year-long training mission he had ventured on. He had laughed when he heard of how he melted the entire stadium at the Grand Magic Games, discovered Lucy there, and drug her around Magnolia looking for Fairy Tail members. Erza had felt defeated after her battle, leaving the guild before Makarov had made the announcement. She decided to work with Jellal and Crime Sorciere, find and taking down dark guilds and mages. Gray and Juvia had left together, which had come as a shock to the old timer but not so much after hearing their story. Gray had met his revived father, courtesy of a necromancer, which had torn him to shreds on the inside. Meanwhile, Juvia had been the one to take down the necromancer, freeing Gray's father from servitude and they took off to regroup and train. Wendy joined Lamia Scale with her friend Chelia, earning the nickname of the Sky Sisters due to their similar magics. The Thunder Legion recovered thanks to Porlyusica's antidote she made with blood from Laxus' fur jacket and had joined Blue Pegasus to continue their mage work and help those in need.
Lucy . . . well, no-one seemed to be able to get a word from the celestial mage. She had been radio silent in regards to what had happened to her during the battle, but one thing was clear, the young blonde wasn't quite are bright as she was before. With the guild rebuilding, it seemed to brighten her spirits but she was still always wary and cautious. She seemed to have a constant sadness around her. Hopefully, she'd be able to deal with whatever was bothering her, to find someone to put her trust in.
"Master," Freed called out to the short man. "We'll be landing in ten minutes."
"Thank you, Freed."
"Who were you thinking about just then, Master?"
"Lucy. Trying to see if there was a way that I could help her comes to terms with whatever it is that's eating at her."
"Lucy will be alright, she's a fighter who will be able to overcome whatever obstacle that's in her way. She'll open up to someone here soon. Natsu and her team will keep an eye on her, as well as Laxus. He'll fry anyone who pesters her too much while he's watching the guild in your stead." Both men chuckled as they got ready for their arrival. This day was going to be an extremely busy one, not to mention long, so both men sat there in silence knowing it'd be the last they'd have until well after supper that night.
