Chapter 1: A Stranger in a New Land
"I'll smack him."
"Jeez he look like a mess."
"Give him some room."
Who was talking? What is happening? I felt weak and frail. I weakly opened my eyes. The first person I saw was a lady with black hair with a comically huge beer glass next to her.
"Oh, you're awake," she said giving a little smirk.
I clutched my head trying to adjust to everything. The crowd that once surrounded me disappeared.
"W-Where am I?" I questioned as I looked around.
"Fairy Tail , the coolest guild ever!," was the energetic response. I looked over to see a small kid with big eyes. "What's your name?" I asked him. "My name is Romeo," he answered. "What's yours?"
Good question I thought. I thought long and hard. It was on my tongue. I could sense it, then in a flash it came.
"ASHER!" I said a little too loudly getting the looks of some people. He giggled as I looked on embarrassed.
"Hey Ash, why don't you join the guild? "He said excitingly. I looked at him then to my surrounding area. It was large and the people seemed pretty strong.
"The kid is right, be a part of the family", a wise voice over my shoulder said.
Twisting my head, I saw an old, short man looking at me. Even though he was old, I sensed a powerful aura emitting from him. "I am the Guildmaster Makarov Dreyar young one", he stated. After a pause, he continued: "I see great potential in you, now would you join my guild". I looked at him as I got up. I had a black sweater with a white T-Shirt, gray jeans, black and yellow boots. Also, I had blue hair, some sort of beanie on my head, and some weird headphones. I cracked my neck and looked at him.
"I think that will be great… Guildmaster", I finished with a smile. He smiled and brought out what seemed to be a stamp. "Where do you want it?" he asked. "Under my left eye", I replied. He smirked and marked me. All of the guild burst into applause, surprising me.
"He looks cute", a voice said. I turned red as the cheers turned into laughs as I looked up. Yeah, this was the right decision.
