Chapter 126: CT9: Fairy Tail Main Theme (dj-Jo Remix)
Two hundred years ago, there was a young swordsman named Pedro who was also a skilled blacksmith. Pedro spent much of his life perfecting his craft, until he created his masterpiece; the blade that he named Thraide.
And, for a time, armed with Thraide, Pedro abandoned his craft and became renowned as a great warrior, whose loyalty belonged to the highest bidder. The exploits of Pedro carved his name and his sword's into history, and Thraide was later considered to be one of the 22 legendary swords to bear the classification of O Wazamono.
Until, after a score of years, Pedro discovered there was something he desired more than fame and prowess. He had fallen in love with a woman, the lady Dawn, and his beloved could not deny her own attraction to him, but there was a problem. Dawn was a devout pacifist, and knew that she could never love a man who lived to fight. Pedro was left with an ultimatum; whom did he love more? The choice was clear.
And so Thraide was discarded, and Pedro returned to his blacksmithery and turned his attention to a new pursuit; creating an instrument of love, not of war. The result was an intricate, multifaceted topaz, set into an eight-pronged golden hoop and affixed as a necklace. Pedro called it the Shining Sun, and presented it to his beloved as both a token of his love and proof that he loved her enough to sacrifice all else to pursue her affections. Moved by his actions, Dawn gratefully accepted his love, and they were wed.
But all was not well. Pedro might have discarded Thraide, but a sword that numbers among the O Wazamono rarely remains idle for long. Another man came and sought the sword as his own, but knew that Thraide would never answer to him so long as its previous master was alive. So, with the sword in hand, the newcomer broke into Pedro's dwelling and assaulted him and his wife in their sleep, ending both their lives in a single blow.
The Shining Sun, which Lady Dawn always carried close to her, was stained by their blood and permanently turned cloudy. Or, more accurately, blind.
And thus began the bloody history of Thraide.

Okay, so to be honest I'm kind of getting sick of the opening and closing themes. Would anyone miss them if we stopped doing them?
FYI, there's no theme lyrics here because it's all instrumental. One of my friends recommended dj-Jo's 'glitch pop' remix of Fairy Tail's main background music to me, and it is just perfect for Phoenix's Eye. So, yeah, listen to it if you want. Peace!
