The Queen's Armor

Chapter 3

A Very Merry Christmas

Note: Merry Christmas to all of my fellow writes and readers. I hope your holiday goes great with everyone's favorite day of the year. As a gift for such a fine day, I give this very special chapter of this story so I hope you guys enjoy. Just a little reminder, there will be no updates this weekend due to a personal excuse. This story will resume the next week. Merry Christmas once again to you all.

Snow was falling from the sky on a very special day of the year. Everyone in town was singing and cheering as Christmas made its way to Magnolia once again. Inside the guild building, the place was bustling. Makarov and Mirajane set up and Christmas tree just for decoration, but everyone loved it anyway.

The other members of the guild were spending their day with close friends and family members. Natsu and Gray decided to hang out for the day. Mira, Elfman, and Makarov stayed at the guild, providing a place for anyone who didn't have a place to go for the holidays. Macao and Wakaba went home to their families and everyone else did their own special thing.

Erza decided to spend her day in town and enjoy the atmosphere of Christmas where everyone was always cheerful. She jumped from shop to shop, trying to find something interesting or something cool that she could buy for her friends.

All throughout the town, venders were offering these amazing deals that a normal person couldn't pass up. Being the good person she was, she decided to check out some of the things that were being offered. She ended up finding a very nice jacket for Makarov, some more clothes for Gray (because you know how he is), and a new scarf for Natsu that he probably would never wear.

Once that was all over, she continued to look for things for her. She walked into a nice little clothes store and greeted the shopkeeper. She looked around the place, but nothing caught her attention.

"Oh, I apologize. You're Erza Scarlet, right, of Fairy Tail?" She nodded. "I'm so sorry. I've actually made a special collection for you in the back. Please don't think of it as weird. You're such a huge inspiration to us that I thought you deserved something special. Here, follow me. I think you'll enjoy this." Without another word, she followed the shopkeeper into the back where he turned on the lights. Right as the room lit up, she was completely in awe. Everything in there was completely in fashion and completely her style. Her eyes opened wide and she pranced around like a little kid. Everything from normal clothes to dresses to swimsuits, there was everything.

Immediately from the start, a certain outfit caught her attention. It was a white apron and a pair of pink panties. It also came some sexy, black socks and a maid headpiece. She grabbed it off the rack and examined it carefully.

"Hm, this is really nice. How much?"

"For you, everything in here is free. Just try not to take everything," he said with a smile. She quickly opened up her lacrima storage screen and placed the outfit in her inventory. "Good selection, I must say." She smiled at him and continued to browse through his selection. The more she looked through, the less she was interested. The shopkeeper noticed this and immediately attracted her attention. "I know something that's perfect. Here, this way." He guided her to the very back of the room where he kept a beautiful piece of armor.

"Wow, what's this?"

"I know it may not look like it, but I'm also a crafter and I specially designed this armor just for you." The armor was mostly pink. The main piece covered her entire upper body. The other half was the leg armor that went all the way up to her thighs. And as an added bonuses, there was a headpiece that were shaped like wings.

"Did you give it a name yet?"

"Not really, but there was one that stuck in my head this whole time: Armadura Fairy. I made it with the image of fairies in my head so yeah, that's that." She opened up her lacrima screen and had it moved into her inventory where she quickly changed into it.

As her body's light disappeared, the shopkeeper was in awe. It looked so good and it totally matched her. This was definitely something she would wear. As she checked its maneuverability, the shopkeeper rummaged through his things and pulled out one more things for her.

"I also managed to create two swords that matched the armor." The swords were averagely sized with a blue gemstone at the top of the hilt. On its sides, there were fairy-like wings. He handed her the swords and swung them around.

"I never knew that you were so talented."

"Well, Fairy Tail has done so much for this town so I thought that I could do something in return for you." She smiled and returned to her normal armor.

"I don't know how to thank you enough for these gifts."

"Don't worry about it. Just keep doing your job as a Fairy Tail wizard and you'll repay this exchange." She held his hand and smiled.

"It's a deal." She made her way out of the shop and waved goodbye one last time, also giving one more thank you to him. After that was all over, she made her way back to the guild. Right as she opened the door, she saw a huge present right at the front door. From behind, Makarov and Mira jumped out in front of her.

"Merry Christmas Erza!"

"What's going on?"

"We made you a gift."

"For me?"

"Of course. You've really been making a name for yourself in this guild we thought that you deserved something special this year." She smiled and walked to the giant present. She quickly ripped off the wrapping paper and opened up the box to see another piece of armor.

"Whoa, what's this?"

"Master and I have spent some time making another piece of armor for you. We've been noticing that you've been on a search for all the armors you can get and even though this doesn't really have a purpose, you can have it serve as something ceremonial or something." Just like she did with the fairy armor, she transferred it to her inventory and her body glowed. When they light disappeared, they saw her the grandest outfit they've ever seen. It was a long dress with a robe attached to the back of it. It had assorted colors all over it and came with a tall staff.

"Wow, thank you so much. I promise to wear this with pride."

"Well, we're just happy that you're happy. So, how many does that make now?"

"Hm, I think that makes it 5." Both Makarov and Mirajane were surprised.

"Wow, you've really been going at it recently."

"Yeah, but only one have I really earned. It's my Flame Empress Armor. The other ones I received as gifts. As nice as it's been, I want to truly earn these armors, and I'll keep going until my goal has been achieved."

"Alright, alright, that's enough. It's Christmas, Erza, calm down. Just bring it in." Makarov opened his arms and Erza and Mirajane joined him in a little group hug. The other people were sitting around at the guild decided to join in and suffocated the people who were in the middle of the hug. As she was nearly squeezed to death, another thought came to her head.

Christmas just keeps getting better.
