A/N- I'm really sorry about how short this chapter is. The first two are to give a bit of background information on the story. I'm in the works of writing chapter 5, so let me just say that chapter 3 has about 6k words in it. It won't be posted until Thursday, I'm going to America with my friend (no parents or sister woohoo!) and we won't be back until next Wednesday. I'm going to Busch Gardens and Water Country in VA.

I do not own Fairy Tail.

Enjoy!~ Lana

Chapter 2: Layali

Layali Terra was home alone.

It was nothing, as she was home alone a lot. Her mom worked at a college about a 45 minute drive from her house. Her dad had military training. All she had was her two, boneheaded identical siblings.

Her sisters names are Laurana and Lacey. However much the two fought, they were really close. They picked on her a lot, because she was different. Layali was the runt of the litter. The youngest of the three. The only fraternal of the triplets.

Laurana, or Lana, was born first and always bragged about it. She had dark-blonde hair, deep blue eyes, and a mischievous, older sister smirk. Lacey had dark-blonde hair, deep blue eyes, and small a heart birthmark on her left cheek about an inch down from her eye. It's barely visible.

Layali, however, had golden-brown hair, emerald green eyes, and an invincible armour guarding her heart. Though she never showed it on the outside, Layali was torn apart and her ashes were constantly stabbed.

This isn't some cliché looser girl ' Oh, I'm depressed, I have no friends, I never will' kind of story. She had about 13 friends. 3 were popular, shocked her sisters. 5 were weird, dirty-minded freaks who she hung out with because she owed them one. 5 were getting constantly in trouble, and she needed a joyride.

But that wouldn't satisfy Layali. She was different from everyone else in this world that she knew of. Layali wanted someone like her dream self, happy, carefree, crazy- a celestial dragon slayer.

Layali was born to Earth, but she was trained and raised by a dragon named Eleminia through her dreams, or so she thought. The truth of the matter was that she traveled worlds to be raised by Eleminia. Layali had celestial dragon slayer magic, the type of magic that was very powerful and dangerous.

The magic worked like this:

Whoever possesses the magic will be born with the basic elemental powers; Water, Earth, Fire, Air, Darkness, and Light. They can do Dragon Slayer things as well as shape the thing which they wish to control. When the Celestial Dragon Slayer advances, they gained more powers related to their skill of their choice.

The Slayer must choose carefully of the given power selection, as this is permanent. Along with that, you can only have up to five powers. Elemental was a birth one, meaning four bonus. Once the decision is made, the power turns into a stamp. The stamp marks a small place on the chosen part of the body, then disappears once it's power has absorbed into the Dragon Slayer's skin.

Layali was taught all this by Eleminia, and even had it happen to her. However, she'd wake up to find the exact same marking exactly where it had been placed in her 'dream'. Layali was convinced she was hallucinating.

One training session, in particular, Eleminia said that she would have to leave. The Celestial Dragon provided no explanation, no matter how many times the girl asked and cried. However, Eleminia's last words were quite shocking to her.

"Goodbye, young one. We may never meet again, but that is how things must be. You have your powers for a reason, you know. Your destiny lies among Earth, your home, Layali. I am giving you all of your power that you have in this world and transferring it to Earth, were you need it the most. You may gain one more power to fill your limit, but that is very rare. It may take years, but someday you will unlock your powers in Earth. You will have these powers eternally, no matter what. Goodbye, Layali. Fulfill your destiny." Those were the last words she ever heard from Eleminia.

Layali cried, even when she came back to Earth. However, the tears stopped as she felt some new energy bubbling inside of her. It felt, magical.

Eleminia disappeared on 07/07/07. She had been gone for 9 years. All day, everyday, Layali could feel her magic energy getting stronger. Her powers automatically strengthened overtime. Layali tried to access her powers, but it never happened. Soon, however, it would.

The reason Layali was home alone was because her sisters went to a party for some of their friends whom she did not know. She was looking for some relaxation and freedom during the end of summer break. But freedom requires food, right?

Layali walked out of her room to get food, when she noticed a bright light out of the corner of her eye. She peeked over and saw two strangers: one was carrying the other in his arms. Or hers. She was confused because the person carrying the other one had pink hair.

'Intruders!' Layali thought. She ran quiet and swiftly to the bonus room, pulled out her dad's AR rifle, pushed the magazine (it holds bullets, not underdressed girls, perv) into the gun. The Celestial Dragon Slayer ran to the balcony and pointed the gun at the person's pink head.

"You have two second to tell me who you are." Layali proclaimed boldly. "Then get the hell out of my house."

A/N- This was probably really boring. I'm sorry :( Please leave a review so that I will continue to post! (This isn't bold bc I'm posting this on my phone and Fanfiction is being reallllyyyy glitchy.

See you in my next chapter! ~Lana
