Hello again everyone! When I said I was working on part 2 I meant it. Already got a plan going for this. I'm now going to start diverting from the GOT books slightly. The main characters of Fairy Tail are really going to start having an impact so it'll be interesting to see how their presence changes the history of Westeros. Anyways, here is Chapter 1 of A Clash of Fairies.

A Clash of Fairies

Chapter 1: Gajeel

Sweat and dirt caked Gajeel's body as he rushed in between the crowded buildings and alleys of King's Landing. He had just intervened in an execution and saved Erza's life. He smiled to himself. Now Titania owed him two fold. One for Edolas, and now one for Westeros. As he ran and fought of light resistance he thought about how he would make her pay up. He grinned at several ideas. Force her to feed him Strawberry cake, listen to his amazing musical skills, maybe be his servant for a day. He liked that last one as he pictured Erza in a maid's outfit. Gajeel turned a little red in the face. Then again she could use that one against him. Gajeel dodged a crossbow bolt that careened past his head and ricocheted off of a stone wall.

"Iron Dragon's ROAR!" A mass of Iron particles blasted from Gajeel's gaping mouth and practically shredded the crossbowman. Gajeel had no qualms about killing the man. At this point in this world, it was kill or be killed. He didn't like it but he also felt like he had no choice. They weren't going to go easy on him after all.

Eventually, Gajeel finally shook off the pursuing guards and slinked into the shadows of a brothel. Where he hid until the guards passed him by. He then donned his potato sack cloak and casually walked towards the city gates. As he made his way to the main gate he saw that is was shut. Iron bars blocked all entry and exit and a row of twenty Lannister guards kept everyone away.

"Damn." mumbled Gajeel. The last thing he needed was another fight. His magic was growing weaker and weaker. He had to avoid an engagement and still exit the city. Gajeel looked along the towering walls of the city and found his opening. A blind spot between two of the guard towers. If he could just reach it and climb over without anyone noticing he'd be home free. He slowly made his way to the spot on the walls careful to not draw attention to himself. There was light resistance at the spot, a couple green guards that didn't even know how to hold a spear properly. They were easily disposed of and hidden by the Iron Dragon Slayer.

Time to climb.

Gajeel grabbed the walls and began to scale them. He used his fingers as iron picks as he jabbed them into the stone and clawed his way to the top of the walls. When he reached the top he quickly raced across and swung himself over the other side.

"Iron Dragon's Pillar!" His arms turned into massive Iron poles and they braced his fall allowing him to land on the ground gently. Sounds of alarm from the guards towers around him filled the air.

Too late suckers. He ran off down the road and towards the opposite side of blackwater bay.

….

Gajeel made his way to the meeting spot. A small burrow that had been abandoned by whatever animal once called it home. It was big enough for him, Lily, and two others to fit in so he figured it was probably once home to a pretty big bear. Gajeel looked quietly around him, making sure he wasn't following then slinked into the burrow.

"Gajeel! Thank goodness you're back." exclaimed Lily as the small exceed rushed over.

"Everything ok here Lily?"

Pantherlily shook his head. "Erza's in bad shape man. The wound in her chest won't stop bleeding no matter what I do. I don't know right now."

Gajeel face turned grim and he made his way over to Erza. She was lying against a dirt mound. Her shirt was gone and in it's place was a mass of blood that covered the bandages on her chest. A sheen of cold sweat was on her as she shivered in the baking hot burrow.

"Poison…" mumbled Gajeel.

"Maybe." replied Pantherlily, "I can't be sure though."

"It's most likely." Gajeel bent over Erza's broken form and carefully removed the bandages. The wound was grotesque to look at. Blood oozed out of the hole between her breasts and the veins were a purplish color around them. The skin seemed to be losing all it's life and appeared dead to the eye. Gajeel felt himself gag and he covered his nose and mouth then looked to Lily.

"We got to close this thing up somehow."

"But the poison Gajeel."

"I don't know what I can do about that. But if it was a strong poison it would've killed her way before we got to her." observed Gajeel. "It must be a very weak one. Only keeping the wound bleeding not doing anything else to it. She'll tough that stuff out. But for now start a fire."

"But you just said we had to close the wound." said a puzzled Lily.

"We are."

Lily's pupils contracted and he began to shake. "You don't mean."

"Yup," Gajeel made a piece of Iron from his hand. It was a small rod about the same size as the hole in Erza's chest. "Gonna have to weld it shut and cauterize it as well."

"GAJEEL THAT WON'T WORK!"

"NOTHING ELSE HAS YOU STUPID CAT! WHAT CHOICE DO WE HAVE!" argued Gajeel as Lily began to panic slightly.

"Do it." croaked a weak voice. Gajeel moved his gaze back to Erza. Her brown eyes were barely open. "Just do what you gotta do…" she passed out again.

"She was able to wake herself up. I knew she was tough but damn."

"Lily, why are you still standing there. Get a fire going now!"

The exceed was shocked into action. He quickly gather up a huge amount of kindling and sticks and, with the help of Gajeel, set a massive fire ablaze. Gajeel held the iron rod into the fire and let it heat. The Iron quickly became red hot. A few minutes later, the iron was glowing white from the heat and was on the verge of melting. It was actually starting to burn Gajeel's hand a little. Gajeel ignored the pain and pulled it out of the fire. He took a deep breath.

"Ok Erza, this is going to hurt like hell. Just hang in there." He told the redhead. He then plunged the piping hot iron into the wound. A sickening sizzle was heard and the fresh blood outside of the wound began to bubble. Erza's eyes shot open and a blood curdling scream echoed through the burrow. Lily vomited in the corner and it took everything in Gajeel not to do the same. After another few seconds Gajeel withdrew the smooth iron rod, now cooled and covered in crimson. Erza blacked out from the pain. Gajeel moved his hand to feel a pulse. It was still there and the bleeding had stopped. In the wound were several shining patches of Iron that covered the massive bleeding areas.

The Iron will corrode away eventually. I made sure of that when I made it. Thought Gajeel to himself. Besides a little iron in the blood never hurt anyone right?

"Never do that again please." groaned Pantherlily.

"If it opens up again we may have to." Gajeel tossed the rod into the fire and watched as it melted. "I'll keep an eye on her, you go get the girl."

"Aye."

Pantherlily exited the burrow and left Gajeel sitting beside Erza next to the roaring fire.

"You are damn tough Titania. Damn tough." muttered the Iron Dragon Slayer as he gazed into the fire.

….

Gajeel heard himself snore. He snorted and raised his head quickly only to smack it into the dirt and rock roof above him. He growled in pain and rubbed his head. He looked over to Erza, she was awake now. She had covered herself with the blanket that Gajeel put over her skin and sat staring at the embers of the fire.

"Good to see you awake." said Gajeel as he rubbed his eyes and yawned.

"Thanks." muttered Erza.

Gajeel knew better than to say anything else. Titania had just been through hell. Possibly literally if she had slipped in and out of the world of living at any point. Nah, she wouldn't have gone to hell if that happens. Gajeel remembered stories from the northern section of Ishgar of a place where Warriors went when they died. A place of infinite battle and glory. Sounds like a place she would end up if anything ever happened to her. Still, he needed information, answers on how the hell Erza, the strongest woman in Fairy Tail, was nearly killed in King's Landing.

"What happened?" asked Gajeel bluntly.

Erza just stared blankly into the fire, "Too much."

Gajeel clicked his tongue, "Perfect explanation if I ever heard one. But I need details."

Then he saw them. Tears, little streams of salty water coming down Erza's cheeks. Her lips were quivering and her chest began to heave a little. She winced from this action as it brought fresh waves of pain from the wound she had. "It was Wendy." she breathed.

"What?" Gajeel really hoped Erza didn't mean what he thinks she meant.

"Wendy… she…. She attacked. I… I think she felt that I betrayed her in some way. She… sniff… thought that I helped kill the king." Erza just let the sobs come out now. She didn't care about the pain it caused. The pain in her heart was much greater. Instead of more words from Gajeel she felt a hand on her shoulder. It felt cold like metal but it was something at least.

"There now Titania. Just let it out."

It was a moment Erza had not expected to see from the Iron Dragon Slayer. A moment where he was a tender human being instead of a cold Iron Dragon. No wonder Levy had the hots for him. She saw him for these moments, not the cruel ones. Erza took a shaky breath and tried to calm herself.

"She didn't give me this wound. Lord Petyr Baelish did." the memory of it came back. The sudden shock her body felt as it began to shut down. The pain of metal sliding in then out of her chest. It burned still. "He stabbed me in the back as I tried to rescue the Starks."

She could see the silent fury in Gajeel's eyes. No one harms a member of the Fairy Tail family and lives to tell about it. Not if he hears about it that is. Erza was still breathing heavily. Even talking was exhausting for her.

"You don't need to say anymore Erza." said Gajeel, "You need to rest."

"I'll be fine Gajeel." dismissed Erza as she steadied herself against the dirt wall. "Where is Pantherlily?"

"He went out to find me and the little Stark." said a new male voice.

Erza looked to the entry of the burrow and saw a tall man standing in front of it. He wore a purple shirt, black pants and shoes, and a black and white fur coat draped over his shoulders. On his face was a lighting bolt shaped scar over his right eye and blonde hair that spiked up on top of his head. Beside him was Pantherlily and Arya Stark.

"Erza!" cried Arya as she rushed into the burrow and gently hugged the wounded knight.

Erza tried to hug her back but she could barely move as it is. Gajeel peeled Arya away from her and looked up at the newcomer.

"Laxus, it's good to see you." she said with a scratchy voice.

"Good to see you breathing. We lost you there for a while. If it wasn't for my lightning restarting your heart, we probably would be burying you."

Erza felt her throat tighten. She had died! And Laxus used his magic to save her. She looked at the older man, he looked exhausted. Sweat stains were on his shirt and drops beaded down his head.

"Gajeel, the way ahead is clear for now. We should get moving soon though. No doubt patrols will head this way."

Gajeel nodded then looked to Erza, "How well can you handle movement right now?"

Erza gulped, "Well enough."

"Alright, Laxus I'll have Lily carry her for now. Where should go though?"

"Winterfell." was the immediate response from Erza, "There are friends there for us. It's also Arya's home. I swore an oath to protect their family. I can't get to Sansa, so the the least I can do to make up for my failure is get her home."

"You didn't fail anyone Erza!" exclaimed Arya as she stared at Erza hard. "You did the best you could."

"Arya…"

"Sorry to break up the reunion but we got to move." interrupted Laxus, "You smell them right Gajeel."

"I can hear that damn armor clinking. They're getting close."

Laxus nodded then picked up the wounded Erza. Erza grimaced and bit her lip. The pain was unbearable but she had to endure it.

"Alright, we got a long walk north ahead of us. And we are going to have to avoid the roads. So let's go."

Laxus began to jog with Gajeel and Lily right beside him. Gajeel was carrying Arya on his back. The little Stark girl clasped her arms around his neck making it hard for Gajeel to breath.

"Shoulders shrimp… ack… not neck." he coughed.

"Sorry."

Erza fought off the pain of moving. She was on Laxus's back as well. He was carrying her in a piggyback ride almost. Erza was confused now though, how was Laxus here too?

"Laxus how did you get here?"

"Me and Gajeel wound up in the same spot when that book dumped in this dimension. We made our way to King's Landing to gather information. I was on the other side of the city when everything went to shit. I figured Gajeel would go back to the hideout so I went there immediately. Then Pantherlily came flying in with you on death's door. That's pretty much the story."

Erza did her best to nod, "Do you know if any others are here too?"

"Other than you and the traitor," said Laxus referring to Wendy. Erza's heart ached while Gajeel growled angrily, "No, I don't know if anyone else is here too."

"That little blue haired shrimp will pay for what she did." growled Gajeel, "When I get my hands on her…"

"Gajeel relax," ordered Laxus as he felt some tears drip onto his shoulders from Erza, "There is a time and place for that, now is not that time." He craned his head to look back at the scarlet haired knight on his back. "Get some rest back there, me and Gajeel will take care of things."

Erza nodded and slowly drifted off letting the sweet release of sleep take her away. Gajeel looked to Laxus beside him.

"You didn't tell me she actually died while I was gone."

"I didn't want to worry you anymore than needed Gajeel. I need you with a clear head. Besides she is alive right now, that is what's important. And right now we need to focus on avoiding pursuit and getting to Winterfell. Ok?"

Gajeel grunted in acknowledgement, "Just don't hold stuff like that back from me again. We're a team now, unfortunately we have to work together to survive."

Laxus closed his eyes and smiled at the comment. "Still hung up over the Battle of Fairy Tail?"

"You ain't never going to live that down Sparky." replied Gajeel. Laxus sighed and just kept running knowing that the Iron Dragon's cautious instincts were always alert for either soldiers or unfounded treachery from him.

This was kinda a Gajeel/Erza chapter. The fallout of the battle in King's Landing. Erza nearly died. Laxus makes his first appearance. Arya is staying with Erza thanks to Gajeel and Pantherlily's help. Things are getting interesting. Hopefully they make it to winterfell before a certain wedding takes place. As always, I hope you all enjoyed! Please rate, review, and have a nice day!
