Changing Future
Year X778
Daylight began to break over the mountains of Fiore, a slightly cloudy day where we find our Dragonslayer and her Exceed companion resting on her head as they traveled down the road to the town not to far in the distance trying to find some work for a travelling mage, for a mage without a guild is not a true mage, but our Dragonslayer is not interested much in guilds to collect money, as they two have traveled they have made some acquaintances from guilds saying they would be a very powerful ally for their guilds, all have been rejected "A guild is a home" they would say "You can find many more high paying jobs with guilds." But she would always reply the same "None of you have caught my interest." she said to the Lamia Scale guild, "Your guild is rather strange sorry." she would always reply to the Blue Pegasus guild, but there was one guild that had a different response, "Maybe one day, when I grow up a bit more."
"Say Rii." The small exceed said
"Yea Crimson?" she responded back still marching on towards the town
"Why do we travel alone and never join a guild or take any of those other travelling mages with us?" He questioned putting his paw under his little jaw
"I guess you could say we haven't found the right "partner" or "fit" for us" as she made air quotations
"I hope we do some day..." Crimson began to trail off "But you know what Rii" he said excitedly
"What is it?"she stopped
"It doesn't matter if we find anyone, I guess so long as we can travel together right!" Smiling as he finished
"I suppose you are right, Crimson do you mind flying up and scouting out a bit ahead of us?" she asked in a sincere voice
"Sure do you see something?"
"I'm not positive its a little bright out but it looks like someone a bit younger then myself, may be in trouble, I'll head up behind you as you fly up hurry back and grab me if they're in trouble." she explained in a hurry
Crimson wings were summoned and he took off "Sure thing Rii I'll be back in a flash!" he flew off as fast as he could towards the young girl
"That cat, is about the closest thing I have to family, you better be alright over there Crimson" she thought to her self
Crimson came racing back to Rii's side "Rii! There is a small girl with blue hair she looks pretty beat up, there's a couple Vulcan's over there as well, looking like they are ready to attack!" he explained quickly and grabbed on to Rii's back and took flight with her "We need to hurry Crimson, I may not be a big people person but I don't like monsters hurting people"
"Blood-Ice Dragon's Roar" She shouted as the mist of crimson ice shard's flew out of her mouth caught up in a powerful wind hurling towards the Vulcan's "I think I got one of them at least, hopefully the other will back off now."
One of the Vulcan's was knocked back and fell as the other rushed in "You took down my friend I'll make pretty girl pay now!" it shouted at Rii as she dropped down with Crimson in front of the hurt blue haired girl
"Crimson check if she's alright"
"Okay Rii, that Vulcan shouldn't be much trouble for you!" he ran over to the girl laying on the ground as Rii took on the other Vulcan "Hey are you okay" he nudged her a little, and she turned her head "I...will be thank you is Carla okay?" she said faintly "We didn't see anyone else around here who is Carla?" Crimson questioned "She's my partner we got stuck by these Vulcan's trying to make it to the town I told her to run she shouldn't be far" "Wendy! Are you okay!" a small voice cried out and a small white cat came running towards them.
"You should run before you get hurt." she to the Vulcan "I'm not to keen on holding back on thing's that hurt defenceless people."
"I no run, I will hurt you too lots!" The Vulcan shouted as it charged towards her punching ~bang~ Rii's arm's were covered in ice as the Vulcan's fist stopped in place to with a chilling hit
"I told you, now take your "friend" over there and leave before I hurt you too." She growled forming some jagged ice around her much smaller fist's
"No I take you down now!" It shouted and began punching Rii she was sent back a bit but caught her footing, as a some blood began to fall from her "Rii are you okay" Crimson shouted to her "I will be fine focus on those two. Now then its time to make you pay for that last punch."
~Blood-Ice Dragon's Scythe~ she began freezing her blood coming out of her around her forearms into a sharp scythe, jumping into the air and crashing her knew found weapons on the Vulcan knocking it down.
"That's not fair you're mage!" It shrieked looking at Rii in the haze of newly formed ice
"Not just any mage you fool, I am the Blood-Ice Dragonslayer!"
~Ice Dragon's Fist~ the ice started to form around her her fist, sharp jagged spikes coming from her knuckles, she charged in punching the Vulcan rapidly as it collapsed beside the other Vulcan.
"Serves you right for trying to pick a fight with me" as she let her ice break off her "Crimson is everyone okay?" she shouted over
"I think so we should take them to the town to make sure though, seeing as we aren't that far away now you could probably carry her the way there" he smirked seeing as she hardly liked to carry Crimson on top of her head while they travelled but it is where he was most comfortable
"Fine I guess if I have to, but that means you're walking the whole way there" she smiled walking over and picking up the now passed out injured mage
"Will Wendy be okay?" Carla asked the two travelling pair
"She should be her injures don't look that bad, she was brave to try to defend you both from those Vulcan's" she said "Speaking of which what type of magic does she use?" she started to ask
"Well Wendy, has a special type of magic she told me Dragonslayer magic." The small Exceed explained as they entered town
"Wait, she's a Dragonslayer like me do you know what type?" Rii said staring as Carla as Crimson started to catch up
"Rii you just left me back there see I should always stay on top of your head!" he shouted
"I'm sorry Crimson, but this little girl is a Dragonslayer like myself." she knelt down and patted his head.
"Whoa really what kind of Dragonslayer magic!" he said excitedly
"Well I was just asking Carla when you cut in." She said staring at him, as her eyes drifted back at Carla "So Carla like I was saying what type of Dragonslayer magic?" she continued
"Well Wendy told me its Wind, she's not very strong but she can use a lot of support magic and even heal." Carla explained
"Well that could be very useful but if she can't fight that is a bit of a problem." Rii said looking into the town "But we should really get an Inn and let her rest a bit so we can talk to her as well."
"Agreed" The two Exceed said
The following day
In a small Inn Crimson sat atop Rii's head who was sitting on the bed opposite the newly found Dragonslayer Wendy and her companion Carla, the bed's were small with basic green sheets and a wooden frame and a kind of soft pillow, a small picture hung above both beds a painting of a house on a cliff looking over the ocean, a small nightstand sat between both beds with a candle, smoke still coming off the candle for it being blown out recently as the sun was coming up, the two Dragonslayers spoke to each other.
"So your name is Wendy?" She asked
"Yes it is, and thank you for saving me and Carla, can I ask your name?" she asked in a small tone staring at her feet
"It was nothing really, and well I am Rii, and this is my partner if you want to call him that Crimson." she said pointing up to the Exceed resting atop her head "Carla told me you are a Dragonslayer like myself, is that true?"
Wendy looked up at Rii "Yes I am the Sky Dragonslayer, Grandeeney taught me all my magic, but left for some reason on July 7th X777" she said with a frown
"That is strange my Dragon Cruor disappeared, that same day." she had a puzzled look on her face
"Rii what type of Dragonslayer magic do you use, I mean I saw a brief little bit before I passed out." Wendy said quickly trying to change the topic
"Ahh well Rii is cool she has two type's of magic!" Crimson butted into the Dragonslayer's conversation "She is the Blood-Ice Dragonslayer" he said with a smile
"I've never heard of blood magic." Wendy and Carla said at the same time
"Well its a magic that is seldom practised, seeing as its rather dangerous." she began pulling up her sleeve revealing scars up her right arm "You see blood magic is exactly what it sounds, it takes my blood and changes it into a weapon in a sense, I can do all sorts of things with it, especially with my ice as well, but I have to be bleeding in a sense the more blood the stronger it can be, there seems to be a few exceptions when I'm using both at the same time though, mainly in my Blood-Ice Roar, I never have to be bleeding when it comes to that attack." she explained
"I see so the scars are from when you've been fighting monsters?" they questioned
"No not necessarily, that is from my training with Cruor to master the blood magic." she stated "I usually don't have to harm myself in order to use my blood magic, I end up bleeding one way or another." she chuckled a bit as everyone else looked a bit mortified with Crimson being the exception seeing as they have travelled together for a while "But enough about me why were you out there travelling if you can't fight really?"
"Well when Grandeeney left I met Jellal" she started to frown again "But then after a little while he told me to go off it was to dangerous, so I tried to find a guild but I ended up finding Carla, and we've been travelling ever since" she explained "but I heard of a strong guild close by to join so I could get strong and find Jellal again."
"So you want to get stronger?"
"Yes so I can find Jellal and travel with him again." replying quickly looking at Rii then back to Carla
"Well you don't need to join a guild to get strong, I'm not in a guild and I'm plenty strong!" Rii stated smiling
"But you can make lots of friends in a guild, who can teach you new things, and help you on missions."
"Friends eventually leave you, and Cruor taught me everything I need to know." she said with a frown looking down "But I always have Crimson for missions right." looking back up and patting him on the head
"Right Rii, we'll always fight together!" he shot back
"But don't you guys want to make some friends to travel with?" Wendy and Carla both asked
"Well that would be nice..." she was cut off "Of course that would be awesome Rii's great but it gets a bit boring!" Crimson cut in, "Oh so now I'm boring, what happened to us always together hmm." she said with a smirk grabbing Crimson
"I didn't mean it Rii, forgive me!" he screamed and went limp when she grabbed him
"I guess I have too, don't I" she sighed "There is only one guild I'd consider joining" she continued
"What guild is that?" Wendy asked
"Fairy Tail, it is the only one I've met and hasn't been completely, messed up but I don't think I am nearly strong enough some day I'll accept their offer, you should try to join them Wendy they're quite nice." she smiled
"Maybe, but could we travel with you guys for a bit to get stronger as well?" They both asked
"Of course you can!" Crimson shouted
"Hey now"
"What, they want to join us and they want to be stronger it's exactly what you want I doubt they will be much trouble!" he said with a smile
"Well twist my arm about it why don't you." she laughed a bit and stood up walking over to Wendy in the room "Okay I guess Crimson made up our minds for us you can come with us for a little while" she stuck out her hand and Wendy grabbed it shaking hands and pulling her up "Looks like you got what you wanted Crimson some travelling companions."
"This should be fun hopefully I can learn a lot from a fellow Dragonslayer!" Wendy said smiling
"We'll see if you can keep up, do you know any attacking magic?" Rii asked
"Well...not exactly but I do know a lot of support magic!" she said happily
"By not exactly do you mean not at all? I guess your support magic will come in handy a lot, but I'll have to show you some Dragonslayer attack magic." she sighed
"That would be awesome then I can get a lot stronger too." Wendy said with a big smile looking up to Rii
"That's the plan to get you strong enough to travel on your own." She patted Wendy's head "Well I guess we should get going we've stayed her long enough, let's get going Crimson." waving her hand as Crimson flew on to her head
"Ya to the next town to find a job that pays." he said laughing
"Didn't I say not to mention that last job" her face twitched a bit "Anyways Wendy, Carla are you ready to go? We need to get some work."
"Sounds good to me but I am kind of hungry could we get some food when we leave the Inn" Wendy and Carla both asked
"I guess we haven't eaten yet today, after that we find some people willing to pay to hire some travelling mages." Rii said as they left their room and started heading down the stairs and back into the town they were in "From what I could see this wasn't that big of a town, it could be hard finding something good to eat."
Later on that day
In a small restaurant sat two Dragonslayers and their Exceed companions waiting on their orders Rii ordered a rare steak, hardly even on the grill just the way she likes it, Crimson ordered a smoked salmon his favourite food, Wendy and Carla ordered the same thing a Fiore salad and a cup of tea, when their waiter got there and placed their orders down, they all dug in barley speaking a word to them Rii started to chill her already cold stake more for her own liking.
"Ahh nice and bloody stake just the way I like it, you know you guys could have ordered anything it was alright we're travelling companions now." she said as she started to cut her meat and eat
"I guess we just didn't want to impose on you two." as they started to eat their salad's "So what's next when we're done here?"
"Well I was thinking we could head to Stlone, it's a bigger town and has a somewhat big mage guild called Trident King's, we could probably get a job or two from them, if not I'm sure there are plenty of people who need some mage's work in town with out a job posting." explaining as she tore into the last bit of her nearly frozen stake
"I see well that should be good then, I'd like to get some jobs under myself so I know what it's actually like." Wendy said as she finished her salad and began to drink her tea
The newly formed team paid their bill and left the small brick restaurant and began to leave and head towards Stlone "Well it should take a few days to get to Stlone, I hope you two don't mind roughing it outside for a couple of days." the sun began to fall and the stars began to show in the clear night sky as the team headed towards Stlone
"Well Crimson are you happy we have some people with us now" Rii whispered to Crimson on top of her head as they walked in front of Wendy and Carla a bit leading the way to Stlone
"Yes I am it will be nice, who knows you may like them too Rii, she is a fellow Dragonslayer" Smiling and responding to Rii in a hushed tone
Rii looked back at Wendy and Carla "So I think we should probably camp near that big tree up ahead of us" Rii pointed to a tree in the far distance that she could see due to her enhanced dragon like sight "I can put up some sort of ice trap around us for the night so nothing will come to attack us, though it might be a bit cold for you two Crimson is kind of use to it by now." she stated
"That should be fine we will have to deal with it, but that tree is pretty far isn't it Rii I can barely see it" Wendy said looking in the distance
"You can actually see a tree Wendy all I see is darkness." Carla said looking all around
"That is probably because Wendy, like myself has dragon like sense's from being raised by a dragon. It shouldn't take us to long to get there, probably another half hour walk." Rii stated looking back towards the big tree's direction "It's on top of a hill so I'll just put some ice around the hill so it will be hard for things to walk up it."
They journeyed on towards the tree with next to no incidents a few things popped out but Rii dealt with what ever came out when they arrived it was a large maple tree the trunk six feet in diameter twenty-four feet tall, with a large canopy of leaves to cover out what would come in from above, Rii began working on freezing the ground around them by putting down a sheet of ice that would melt by day break, Wendy, Carla, and Crimson started to lay down sleeping bags, that Rii had in her bag, she was always ready for what could happen and use to sleeping outside.
"Well I hope that sleeping bag will be good enough for the two of you looks like it's about time for us to sleep. I think it will take another day to get to Stlone, we should be able to get there by night fall, then we'll get an Inn, and then hopefully we'll get a job or two to work on." Rii said as she laid her head down with crimson curling up into her chest and falling asleep
"That sounds good do you think in Stlone you could help me with some attack magic?" Wendy said looking over at Rii, with Carla snuggling into Wendy
Rii looked over towards them "Yea if we have time on a job or on our own I could try to teach you a bit of attack magic, it will help on jobs anyways." she turned back over and shut her eyes Wendy followed suit
Daylight began to break through the canopy of leaves and shine in on the young Dragonslayers and their loyal Exceed's they began to wake up stretching and yawning, the ice Rii put down began to melt and they began to pack up the sleeping bags they had, and started to set foot on the trail to Stlone again when they heard someone screaming in the distance "HELP PLEASE HELP ME!"
"Did you hear that Wendy?" Rii asked
"I did someone seems like they are really in trouble we should go and help them I don't think they're very far." she started to look around
"You look down here, Crimson take me up I'll get a view from the sky" she said as Crimson picked her up and took to the sky "Do you see anything at all Crimson?"
"A bit of smoke in the distance it seems" he said
"Wendy there's smoke over that hill lets head over there that's probably where that screaming is coming from" Rii shouted down to Wendy
The four began running towards the smoke coming up over the hill to find a house burning down and a woman with short blonde hair blue eyes stained red from crying, she was wearing a singed white top and a long flowing red skirt with burn marks on it from the fire.
"Miss whats wrong what happened here?" Wendy asked quickly
"A mage an evil fire mage came to burn down our house my husband owed their dark guild some money so they burned down the house and killed him in the process." she began weeping again burying her face into her hands
"Ma'am I know this is hard but we will find the people who did this and bring them down, what is the name of the guild." Rii said punching her fist into her hand and cracking her knuckles in the process
The woman started wiping away her tears and sniffling "T..the guilds name is T...Titan's Hand, I think there hide out is somewhere close." she started shaking her trying to imagine that this all didn't happen "What will I do now my house is burning and I have nothing left-" she pause and looked in awe as Rii began to freeze the fire
"The house isn't on fire now find some way to get rid of the ice we will find Titan's Hand." She growled in anger "Crimson, Wendy, Carla Stlone will have to wait we need to take care of this." as the four started to walk off the lady shouted over
"Thank you, and please come back when you have rid this land of that dark guild."
"Shouldn't an official guild take care of it, we should help that lady back there." Wendy tried to say but Rii wasn't listening much
"Well she'll be fine, and official guilds can just barge in on dark guilds like travelling mage's can they have to go through a lot more hoops, and you wanted training this will be perfect." She said as she started to crack her neck and joints
"Uh-oh she has that look in her eye again." Crimson said looking down at Rii
"What do you mean?" Wendy and Carla asked
"Well something like this happened a little while after Rii and I found each other, some dark guild rough up some people and wanted an official guild to take care of it but they couldn't. Rii over heard and started looking for them and took on the guild she got pretty beat up, I had to fly her out of there." Crimson started to explain
"Well what happened?"
"Well...Rii doesn't like accepting help from others but she found some other travelling mages and sought out some revenge of her own on that dark guild with them and well we haven't heard a thing about them since then. But this is the same glare she gave off just pure anger and disgust in them."
"Could this be why she doesn't like guild's that much? But they are a dark guild not an official guild." Wendy tried to reason everything out
"No she has her own reasons for that I'm still not even sure why." Crimson said back quickly
"Hey you three done chatting back their, I think I've picked up that bastard's scent, let's make that guild pay." She said with a slight sadistic smile on her face
"Of course Rii..."Crimson said back "You see she's usually very collected but fighting she kind of change's she doesn't like to give up I think that fight with the first dark guild was the only time I saw her lose." He said looking up at Wendy
The four followed the scent as they found themselves in front of an old slightly run down looking castle with jagged letters spelling out Titian's Hand, piles of stone lie in front of the broken towers, an old wooden door with holes through out it small light could be see through them, wooden pike's leading up towards the door all sharpened in hopes to scare people away with much luck it would, Wendy and Carla were a bit afraid but they had Rii who was hardly afraid of anything.
"So Wendy are you up for a fight with an ass hole of a dark guild?" she said smiling
"Well so long as you're there to help." looking over to Rii
"Lets go Crimson, Wendy you back us up if you get in trouble just remember all Dragonslayer magic was made to fight dragon's you have the ability to attack, just stay close and you should be fine." She said looking back at Wendy
Rii kicked in the door and the four started making their way down into the old ruined castle they didn't seem to encounter many enemies, until they got to the lowest floor where they met the leader of the dark guild, a tall man with short slicked back hair some stubble, he was wearing a plain black shirt and black dress pants with white pinstripes going up it, and some brown shoes with black laces
"Why have you come here to Titan's Hand and taken out most of my men, mere children at that." He said in a stern voice
"You ordered one of your mage's to burn down a house and kill a man for a debt he didn't pay back in time." Rii cracked her knuckles "So it's time for your guild to pay its debt to them."
"The fire mage I sent for the debt all you want is him then let me send him out here for you to fight, come out now." a shirtless man with brown shaggy hair and brown eyes, and grey cargo pants, wearing no shoes stepped out from another room "This is the man you wish to fight" The guild master began to laugh "Good luck he is one of my strongest mages."
"I will defeat all of you!" Rii shouted
"I'll back you up Rii" Wendy said to her
~Arms~ Rii's arms started to glow as she felt her power starting to increase
"Now its your turn to pay for what you've done."
~Ice Dragon's Fist~ Ice started to form around her fist as the sharp jagged spikes formed around her knuckles, Rii started charging at the fire mage as he shurged and tried to melt the ice around her fist
"This isn't normal ice this is Dragon's ice you'll need a hotter flame to melt it!" She shouted as her fist collided with his face and sent the fire mage into the wall he began to stand
"That was a good hit for a kid." he said "But now its my turn" he summoned up a purple flame and grabbed on to Rii she started to scream out in pain
~Armor~ Wendy enchanted Rii so her defence would be stronger and be able to endure the flame's more
"Thank you Wendy" the fire mage released her and sent her crashing towards the wall she had the wind knocked out of her as she hit the floor bringing her self back up
~Blood-Ice Dragon's Roar~ The crimson frozen jagged shards of ice went hurling towards the fire mage
~Flame Wall~ A wall of fire emerged from a magic circle starting to melt away some of the ice, some shards made it through due to the density of the dragon ice, sending the fire mage back a bit, the ice that did melt the blood landed on him
~Blood Dragon's Needle's~ the blood spiked out into the fire mage stabbing into him
"I see you're going to take a lot more to take care of, Dragonslayer's really are a force to be reckoned with." he said burning his wounds shut
"Are you still not done with that child" The guild leader shouted
"She is a lot stronger than you would think." He shouted back
"You looked away!" He fist came crashing in on the fire mage's face ~Ice Dragon's Sword Dance~ Ice blades began to form across her forearm sharpening as she spun into him trying to cut him down, he would barely dodge her quick movements
"Rii really is amazing, isn't she Carla" Wendy said watching with amazement
"Yes she is you should be keeping an eye on how she use's her magic to try to form attack magic of your own so you can help her Wendy." Carla said looking at her just as Wendy looked over Rii was being over powered by the fire mage holding her arms over her face to stop the fire from reaching her.
"I'm running out of stamina, I don't think I will be able to last much longer" Rii thought to herself and started to breathe heavier
~Purple Sticky Flame~ The fire mage cast a spell of a sticky flame to latch onto the young Dragonslayer
"You bastard!" She shouted as the fire mage grabbed her with his fire and tossed her against the wall, as she fell to the ground Crimson flew over to her and started nudging her
"Rii! Come on get up!" He cried out to her "You're stronger than this, you said you would become stronger!" He started shaking her more as she passed out
"Well I guess the girl is out of juice now, now who will fight me" The fire mage said laughing at his conquest over the young Dragonslayer.
Wendy began to walk over to him making a small fist, as Carla tried to stop her from fighting "I will be your challenger I will fight till Rii is better." She said bringing her tiny fists out and summoning the wind around them "I may not be strong but I can last long enough for Rii to wake up"
~Arm+Vernier+Armor~ as she enchanted herself to increase her speed, strength, and Defense. The small young Sky Dragonslayer stepped forward to face her first opponent ever, terrified she looked on with determination to help and save her friends. Wendy will have to become a true Dragonslayer and release her full power to defeat the enemies a head of her.
Well then that was interesting, a bit of a cliff hanger at the end, the next chapter will be Wendy's fight, along with a few other things. Wendy will be OOC for the most part she will be stronger and not as much of a push over, I like Wendy and I don't think people give her enough credit, as for my OC, she's a Dragonslayer they're pretty tough even at a young age I would presume so that's why she's able to fight so well against much older and experience fighters.
As to Rii's bag being able to hold two sleeping bags and all sorts of stuff well its anime and I've seen enough to know people hold all sorts of things in a small bag, but other then that I liked this chapter I hope you did too and I will begin writing the next chapter right away I've been enjoying writing this even if it is fairly short right now its been a fun idea I've had kicking around for a little while.
Also Cruor is the Latin word for blood, I really could not think of a name for a dragon, so why not a foreign langue and it sounds kind of cool well to me at least. So please review, like and favorite it if you really do want to see more and stick with me through this story I will continue to write it none the less as I enjoy writing it, so until next time you stay classy.
