Click clack click clack, her sleek heels tapped against the cold obsidian floor. She moved at a quick pace. Long dark pillars towered over her arching themselves till each side met. Even though there were windows, they were translucent so barely any light passed through. Her straight posture allowed her long legs take big strides; quickening her already rapid stroll. A scowl was plastered on her porcelain face, although her features were soft and kind, from the paleness of her slightly chubby cheeks, to the smooth meander of her chocolate eyes her incisive scowl dominated her completely. Once she reached her destination. She placed her hand over the lustrous metal, that sent chills up her spine every time she touched it, she gently twisted the knob and entered the cool room, closing the door behind her.
The room was much different, it had a rich feel to it. Velvet carpet engulfed the floor, the deep crimson reminder her of all the bloodshed in the past week, the walls swirled with dark wood like brown patterns, each curve a beautiful flower. The medium sized room was accented with a pale gold. The room was dimly lit by candles within glass pots, it gave a somewhat warm aura. Scattered around the room were rouge chairs made from the finest leather, the woman's hand trailed across the sleekness of the skin.
"Sit." A powerful, stern voice bellowed, ricocheting against the walls and echoing.
The woman's fell downwards in an instance and she neatly placed herself down on a chair, patting her quads once she sat down; flattening her black spandex skirt and crossing her ankles. She looked at the speaker who sat at a large mahogany table, the speaker's feet resting on the leveled surface, a bowl of grapes resting on their knees, they picked a grape and meticulously popped one in their mouth, spitting the seed out soon afterwards.
"We have business to speak of don't we?" their glare hardened as they spoke with pride.
"Ye- Yes. We do mothe-"
"Speak properly, stand up right and DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT ADDRESS ME AS MOTHER IN THESE CIRCUMSTANCES, I AM A LEADER AND YOU MAY CALL ME LADY IRENE AM I CLEAR?"
The woman flinched, following orders as they were spoken, even though she was her mother she was also a well respected leader who could slaughter ten men in a swipe of her thin sword. She coughed to 'boost' her confidence, "Yes we do have business to talk about mo- Lady Irene, may I ask what exactly is it about?"
"My retirement…"
"Yo-you-your retirement?"
Irene sighed rubbing two fingers on her eyebrows creating a bridge with the arch of her thumb and index finger, "What did I say about stuttering?"
"Sorry… But this is serious who is it going to be bestowed upon?"
"You," she pointed a slim finger at her, "You, Erza Belserion, will become the next queen of the Amazons."
"What?" She looked flabbergasted, she couldn't close her mouth, "I can't be the next queen! It's ridiculous, why can't you assign the job to Juliet? Why me?" Erza looked at the floor, ashamed that she blurted something out so stupid.
Irene sincerely smiled, and with two feather light fingers she lifted her daughter's head up,
"I believe in you Erza, you are strong and determined, you can guide an army through a war. You have Otrera's blood in you, make us proud. I know you can"
Erza grinned, "Thank you mother.", she winced at her use of the 'm' word, but since she didn't hear anybody screaming she relaxed.
Irene tutted, "I'll let that one slide" she flicked her hand to the side to dismiss her.
When Erza turned to leave, there was a slight skip in her step. Irene chuckled to herself.
Coal black leaves weaved into her hair to create a laurel wreath to show wealth and status. She wore a white dress to show purity, but once she was crowned as queen of the amazons, her followers have painted their emblems on her chest in wet ink representing that she would carry them on her very being. Dark vines hugged her waist tightly, exaggerating her voluptuous figure, showing off her curves perfectly. Glistening pearls adorned her neck, emphasizing her pure beauty. She looked kind and wise as she vowed to lead her Amazons to victory of every battle they would face. For once her eyes looked bright not their usual dullness, and she genuinely smiled as her followers cheered and praised for her. Despite the popular belief of queens being regal, the amazons were anything but ordinary queens, they were wild and outrageous, a coronation called for a party.
"Bring out the booze!" One called from the crowd, her dark curly hair bounced from her excitement. Everyone turned to look at Erza with anticipation. She laughed and spread her arms outwards like an eagle ready to soar,
"Bring out the best 'booze'"
The room corrupted with elated cheers. Until…
Until…
Until everything turned dark…
There was a fire…
People screaming…
Children screaming…
Destruction...
A/N: My first fairy tail multichapter and I'm actually exited about this one as I think I'm ACTUALLY going to finish this. I finished the plot line and I'm pretty excited to see how this turns out XD
I really want to know which ship you think this story would have!- Personally I find it obvious but oh well, I want to see your opinion. Any characters you think should be introduced? Sorry this is kinda OOC but it is an AU but I think I can incorporate their 'true' personality further into the story.
Anyways review- I ABSOLOUTELY LOVE constructive criticism.
