"In the world of magic, anything is possible. A dragon can befriend a human, a boy can surpass a master, and above all else, meaning can be given to life. This isn't your typical fairytale however, for this one is still in the making. A happy ending seems too far away, and those different meanings to life are slowly being wiped away. On July 7, X777 every single Dragon from this world.. Vanished. But that's something we're all aware of. What hasn't been told is the second part to that story. On that day, the Dragons would disappear, and the child of blessings and plagues would be born. The reason this child is given a title such as that? It's power is unimaginable, that it could pose either a blessing, or a plague. The choice of that matter, is the child's own will. Unfortunately, no one can touch that child until he has become of age. Today would mark this child's seventeenth birthday, which means he has one more year until he has to decide. But... Just because you cannot 'touch' the child, doesn't mean you can't persuade him, isn't that right...

Daityas?"

Shutting a black book, the Death Mage himself, Zeref, peered towards his right. Crimson eyes met a dark, yet fiery presence in the corner. All that was seen was a malicious smirk, favored by sharp, demonic teeth.

"That's right.. By the way, I'll be using Tartaros to help on this little journey. I'm sure you won't mind."

Zeref simply shrugged, a faint smile forming upon his lips whilst nodding to the Satanic being.

"Not at all, but I must warn you.. Though I couldn't touch the child, I wanted to see what kind of challenge this year would propose. So.. I made sure to set his ways towards the guilds of Fiore.. I wonder who will reach out to him first? Fairy Tail, White Eclipse, Black Phoenix, Sabertooth, Spacial Radiance.. And many more. The endless possibilities that he becomes a blessing for this world.. The odds have been stacked against you, Daityas. I hope you do not fail."

With a short fit succession of claps, Daityas let out a soft chuckle while making his way towards the door.

"Oh please, I'll burn all of the guilds to the ground and show this kid what a true plague is."

And with that, Daityas left the room, leaving Zeref alone to keep to his thoughts.

"I wonder if he'll truly do that? He is quite a firecracker.. Maybe I should have an underling keep an eye on him.."

"Well Makarov... To think we'd see the day that we'd actually have a training week together with your guild."

Calium, the guild master of White Eclipse, was sitting right beside the small older male, Makarov. Who was chugging down some alcohol from his mug.

"AHHH~ You've got that right! But it seems these kids just take it even farther than that. Always making it a competition."

"That's what makes it enjoyable!"

Coming up beside the two, Anri, the Guild Master of Black Phoenix twirling towards the two before slamming her fists on the coffee table before them.

"Why don't we make it a competition?!"

Throughout all the training going on, a few heads popped up to hearing the word 'Competition', which lit a fire in their eyes.

"COMPETITION?! Bring anyone my way and I'll beat them down!"

A spite of fire spewing from the hot headed Fire Dragon Slayer of Fairy Tail, Natsu Dragneel. Who was immediately decked by his own guild mate and Dragon Slayer, Gajeel Redfox.

"Gihi, I'll be the one to beat you guys do—"

Though not much for words, a shadowy fist directly struck Gajeel's face as well. The infamous gunslinger of White Eclipse in the back laughing aloud.

"That's our Takeru for you! Nothing like a good ol' 'White Eclipse destroying Fairy Tail like usual' training week!"

Smugly smirking, Reve continued to let out his laugh aloud, all the while back to the guild masters, Anri pouted for a moment, before a lightbulb appeared beside her head.

"Even though he's technically a Co-Master, that doesn't mean he can't train, right?! Leon!. . . Huh.. Where did he go? I could of swore he was here.. Oh! He said he was going to train with Adam up in the mountains.

LEON!"

Everyone went silent, but lifted there heads before Lucy yelled out

"RUN!"

With the entire crowd scattering, two different figures came rushing down from the sky until crash landing directly in the middle; sending an omnipotent wave of dust and debris throughout the area. Cana, Lucy, and Aira sat back up after the clouds subsided, all three of the girls rubbing their heads.

"Geez.. A warning before crashing would be acceptable.."

Cana groaned out, while helping the other two stand back up. Luke coming out from behind the tree he took refuge from, he couldn't help but laugh aloud.

"That's those two for you. Adam, the Dragon, and Leon the monster."

"Hey, who are you calling a monster? Everyone in all of our guilds seem to be monsters."

Shaking his entire body loose from the rubble, emerald eyes illuminated out, long blue hair flowed through the wind, and everyone was met with a smile. Leon glanced around before seeing Natsu, Takeru, and Gajeel in the same area and gleamed with excitement.

"WoahhhhhhhHHHH! Are we about to fight again?!"

"Calm down there tiger, we need to set this up like dignified people..."

Anri said while sighing softly, before pulling out 12 sticks.

"Alight! Four people from each guild grab a stick! It's about to go down!"

"Um.. Excuse me..?"

DING DING! Everyone's head turned towards the back of the training area, only to be met with a young male, black hair, and blue eyes. Freaked out almost, he took a step back before clearing his throat.

"I-I'm new around these parts.. And I was looking to find a guild.."

"Well, son, looks like you arrived at the right time. Come over here and sit next to us, the guild masters of three highly respected guilds. We're all about to have a small little tournament with four fighters from each guild. Whoever peaks your interest then, hey, why not try and join them?"

Nodding to Makarov, the boy made his way through the crowd of mages, who couldn't keep their eyes off of him. Only for him to sit in between Makarov and Calium.

"Alright, let's get this show on the road!

1. Natsu
2. Gajeel
4. Gray
5. Cynthia

3. Reve
5. Luke
1. Kanade
6. Takeru

6. Leon
2. Trinity
3. Shizeru
4. Elísanna

That's the four from each guild!

And we've already got the match-ups! Seems like this is going to be a good one!

Natsu, Kanade, you two are up first!

Oh, by the way kid.. What's your name?"

"Oh.. Erm.. It's.. Nexis."

Stepping into the center of the area, Natsu on one side, Kanade on the other.

"Oi, a White Eclipse Mage off the start?! I'm all fired up!"

"Tch, why'd I have to get this annoying guy first.. No matter! You can go first, cause.. Ya know, White Eclipse tradition!"

With a small smirk on the purplenette's features, the two awaited the start of the fight, everyone on the edge of their seats for the fight.

"3... 2... 1...

Fight!"
