chapter one: the brightest guild.

Authors Note:

This is my first fanfic! I hope it gets some views, follows if I'm lucky. It's been a long summer and I had this story lingering in my head for some time.

If you have any review, ie. improvements, revisions, and stuff like that, I'd appreciate it. Just no flames, okay?

Thank You!

I really couldn't care less about where she went. It was all a blur, nothing to be seen, gone without a trace. Gone without saying goodbye. Where she went was none of my business, and you could say I was relieved, happy even. But then again, I don't really know what "happiness" is, so I actually can't describe how I felt.

She's gone now, that's a good thing. Now I can rest in peace. No more scars, no more bruises, no more pain. Only one thing of hers still resides in me:

the darkness.

I have to find that light, the light that she was hiding. I want to find my happiness, and that is my light. Only reason why, well, I'll tell you later. The only thing that matters now is finding that shining star.


"Milady, where are we going?"

"To a guild for mages."

"Oh! you're finally going to join a guild? Hooray! friends!"

"Yup, maybe they'll help me find what I'm looking for."

"That 'light'?"

"To hide my darkness"

Pom was ever so happy. She was my best friend, thick and through. We weren't "joined to the hip" but we were basically family. She was my only family. That is, until I joined Fairy Tail.

When I walked in those guild doors, the first thing I noticed was that there were other creatures like Pom. When I first met Pom, I thought she was like a rare, endangered species, but I supposed I was wrong.

I watched Pom mingle with the other guild members as I registered. She's so bright and friendly. I wondered why she would want to be with a person such as I, she could have so many more opportunities, and a much better future with a lighter person.

The person named Mirajane placed my mark for me. I chose to put it in the middle of the lower section of my back. I called Pom over to get her's done too. After we had been tagged, Mirajane-San asked what kind of magic I used. Usually, Pom would talk for me, but I decided to cut in and speak for myself.

"I'm a water mage."

"Oh! There's another water mage here too! I'll call her!

Juvia-chan!"

A slender bluenette came over, clearly annoyed. She did her once over of me, and I to her.

"Juvia, meet Mei-chan, Mei, meet Juvia-chan. You're both water mages, so you should get along well!"

And with that, the overly cheerful bartender left Juvia and I in an awkward silence.

I observed Juvia's reaction toward me. I guessed that she was still making up her mind about me. When her facial expression softened, I knew that she had decided. She spoke up,

"Well, as Mira-San said, I am Juvia."

Polite, but still seems somewhat hostile. Maybe a bit biased to something.

"And I am Mei, nice to meet you Juvia-San."

"Yes! I hear that Juvia and Mei-chan are both water mages! Juvia hopes we can be good friends."

Speaks in third-person. Obviously full of kindness and love.

"Yes! I hope so too! Well, I've still got some unpacking to do, so...until next time?"

"Okay! Goodbye Mei-chan!"

And with that, the water mage rushed to a raven haired teen. Clearly with affection, she was calling him "something"-sama!

Yup, definitely biased.

I called Pom to go home. She said bye to her newfound friends and joined me. We were making our way to our "dwelling" as I call it.

"Milady, why did you want to join Fairy Tail?"

"Why do you ask? You don't like it?"

"I do like it!"

"Heh, I thought you would. I did some digging into it, and it's the top guild in Fiore. I also wanted to meet Mister Salamander."

"Oh! you mean Natsu-San?" Yes, he's very nice. And he also has a cat just like me!"

"That blue exceed? Did you make friends with him?"

"Yes! His name is Happy. And there were two others named Carla and Pantherlily. They are all very nice."

"That's good, did you meet any other nice mages?"

"Absolutely! There are lots of dragon slayers in the guild!"

"...dragon slayers, huh?"

"Yes! Maybe they can help Milady find the light!"

"yes, maybe."

As we were walking home, Pom and I were talking about all of the people she met. She can make hundreds of friends in an instant. It sounded like she had a good time.

Just as it was getting dark, we arrived to home base: "the dwelling".
