Also major update to my profile on here that I want everyone to see when they can and spread the word please! and I hope everyone enjoys the chapter!

Chapter 14: The Legend Of The Fairy Tail

"Long ago, when Pirates were anew and the world was still growing, there lived a young girl named Mavis. Mavis was a peculiar girl who enjoyed things someone of her status shouldn't enjoy such as playing outside, reading books and the idea of pirates. Being the daughter of a Nobleman, Mavis was someone who needed to help upkeep the laws in the kingdom and not condone breakage of them. While she enjoyed this, Mavis could experience very little in the outside world.

She was born with a deliberating illness that forced her to keep a youthful appearance despite growing older but also made her very frail. Her parents had sought out multiple doctors only to hear there was no cure. One day, Mavis's father decided the best thing to do was to take her to see a "special" doctor. This doctor was someone who normally was sought out by pirates, but if given proper reasons, she was willing to take customers on the opposite side of the law. With a quick check up, the witch tied up her long gray hair and looked to the family.

"While I cannot do anything about her youth, I can do something about her frailness." she told her family "However, when she is cured of that I need to advise you that something will happen; she will be gifted with sorcery like no other. I cannot take that gift from her since it is something to equal the weight of what is to be taken from her illness." with a swift movement of her staff and a quick spell, a glowing light surrounded Mavis and her frailness was soon cured.

"A gift of mine is the ability to see into the future," explained the elder "and I see a future for this girl that will be something bold and adventurous. She will also meet the love of her life one day and that will lead her to a future I cannot see as of right now." since that very day, Mavis's life had changed. She was able to run and play like she dreamt of doing and even would visit the harbors to look out to the sea and watch the pirates as they worked and soon befriended them. With her father's vast library and her friendships with these pirates, Mavis began to learn the ways of pirating and even advanced some of their tactics.

At the age of twenty, her parents had died of an unknown illness and Mavis decided to take the fortune she inherited and use some of it to create her first pirate ship: The Fairy Tail. It was no ordinary pirate ship to say the least; with Mavis's magical abilities, her magic seeped into the wood of the ship, giving the ship abilities like no this ship, Mavis managed to create a crew with three pirates she met along the way: Yuri Dreyar, Prect Gaeblog and Warrod Sequen. As time moved their crew grew to an enormous size, but the world focused on the four pirates who were soon called the Fairies of The Sea.

One day, during an attempt to take a treasure that was forgotten long ago, Mavis was separated from her crew in the vast jungles. As she tried to walk through the jungles, she heard the sound of voices in the distance, when she finally reached them, she found a clearing with another pirate crew taking camp there. This crew was The Alverez and their Capetian Zeref, while the crew wanted to hold her for ransom, Zeref on the other hand decided to help reunite the woman with her crew. Even though the crew was hesitant, they obliged their captain's orders and soon found the Fairy Tail's crew. And Mavis and Zeref found something more that day.

Though no one knows what really happened, witnesses revealed Mavis and Zeref fell in love that day. For months they would leave their ships at a similar harbor and meet in secret. Their love affair was kept secret from their crews. However, there was more to worry than just being found out. Sometime a long the way, Mavis found a marooned pirate named Acnologia. Despite her crew's uneasy feelings about him, Mavis and her crew cared for the pirate. During the time he spent on the ship Acnologia realized the ship was different from most pirate ships and became enamored with returned to a near harbor, the pirate had become smitten with Mavis and soon began to follow her.

He learned of Zeref and Mavis's relationship and grew jealous. Acnologia soon rallied a crew of pirates and planned an attack on both Zeref and Mavis's crew. Fearing for the safety of their crews and knowing Acnologia wished to obtain not only Mavis and the Fairy Tail, Mavis and the Fairy Tail's crew escaped to the Forbidden Sea while Zeref's crew followed suit. No one knows what happened after that. Those who did survive however reveal a battle had taken place and their crew mates were still there.

For the next one hundred years, many scholars and pirates tried to find what had happened that day and had little to no success. Some believe that the crew is still alive but frozen in time, others believe they were just another set of victims of The Forbidden Sea. No one knows for sure, but the Fairy Tail is still out there and waiting for their next captain and along with it, a treasure that topples other treasures waiting along with The Fairy Tail.

This is the Legend of The Fairy Tail. "

Levy turned to the last page of the book and revealed several copied photos from long ago. One was that of The Fairy Tail, the other was of Mavis during her days as a Nobleman's daughter. Gajeel's eyes were fixated on Mavis's photo. She was a small woman with very long light blonde hair, green eyes, pale skin and a wings like headdress on her head. No doubt about it, this was the girl who appeared in his dreams.

"That's her!" Gajeel pointed out "I've seen her in my dreams! She's the lass in my dreams!"

"It looks like our theories were correct." Erza sighed "It seems The Fairy Tail is connected to The Isle."

"I wonder what happened that day?" Lucy pondered out loud "What happened that lead to this."

"Beats the hell outta me." replied Natsu "Me old man told me that my great grandfather was a member of that crew. He managed to escape that day and he said that a battle had taken place. Said magic happened that day and that's all he remembered."

"Wait, yer relatives got ties with the Fairy Tail?!" Gajeel screamed.

"To be honest, it's what helped me father get the title of Pirate Lord."

"Pirate Lord?!"

"Gajeel, you didn't know?" Levy questioned "Natsu is the son of Igneel Dragneel, captain of the Fire Dragon. He was a Pirate Lord as well!"

"That's right." Natsu confirmed "Me old man expects me to inherit that title next. He's retired now and living on an isle safe for Pirates, but I write to him weekly."

"Mavis was the one behind the idea of Pirate Lords." Wendy added "I think I heard once she created the title and we've been using them since then."

"If Juvia remembers correctly," Juvia continued "Warrod Sequen escaped that day with Yuri and Prect. He earned the title of Pirate Lord and retired. She doesn't know if he is still alive."

"Prect Gaeblog became captain of The Grimiore Heart and died of an unknown illness years later." Gray explained "Yuri Dreyar I think is related to Laxus Dreyar, one of our explosives guys. No one knows what happened to Acnologia but rumor claims pneumonia claimed him years ago."

"So how are we going to go and find the isle?" Jellal questioned, uncertain about what will happen "If we let Jose get a hold of The Fairy Tail, there's no telling what will happen!" They all sat there and thought about their next move before Wendy thought of something.

"I think our best bet is to see if Warrod Sequen is still alive and ask for his help. And while we look for him Lucy and Levy will have to try and locate the Isle's next location."
