CHAPTER 0: PROLOGUE
A lone figure draped in black strode determined through the streets of Fiore's capital, a hood masking their face. This person's choice of colour in garment made them stand out like a sore thumb in between the beautiful dresses and architecture of the people and this country. Most people paid the figure no mind, they were accostumed to seeing new faces around town, especially around this time of the year. The Grand Magic Games were about to kick off and the excitement in the air made for a happy atmosphere. The people who did attempt to see its face recoiled sharply, people of Fiore were usually friendly by nature and in this extraordinary continent little was considered strange. However what must have been under that hood must definitely have been strange.
The figure was headed towards a particular inn, the one that housed and served the Fairy Tail guild this time around. It had waited a long time to finally make contact with that guild. Well in reality it was only one member who caught his attention, but he needed to be sure... he needed to be absolutely certain this wasnt just some punk dying his hair pink for fun.
I'm pretty sure we all know who It's looking for... dont we?
The figure quickly spots it, the Honey Bone Lodge, it's nice enough but It remembers the days when Fairy Tail could afford the best of the best. It made it's way inside quickly scanning the innards of the building. A wooden interior with a homely charm to it, wooden tables, chairs and small windows. Nothing seemed strange, except for the armour redhead woman at the bar. She appeared to be studying the building intently. It decided to go for a passive approach, taking one step towards the mage.
Unlucky for him, the moment his combat boots touch the wooden floor ot made a loud creak. Like a dying cat. You have got to be kidding me... it thought while looking ahead.
The redhead stood still, mid movement towards a slice of unfinished strawberry cake. The temperature in the room suddenly dropped so much the figure could swear It felt a chill.
Beautiful brown eyes gazed in Its direction. "Who are you?"
A rugged voice replied. "I'm looking for someone.. and old... acquaintance."
"I asked you a question." The woman said, a little more venom in her words.
"Fine..." The figure lifted its hood, revealing long pitch black hair... and eyes the colour of crimson. However... the woman found the face somehow familiar... angular and masculine yet.. she felt like she'd seen it her whole life. He continued to strip, taking off the hood and dropping a travel pack. Revealing two long blades on his back... blades the woman could tell were not ordinary, he then proceeded to take of the long coat he had enough for her to see a Fairy Tail symbol... right on his shoulder. Red like a bold statement clashing with the rest of the outfit. "Trust me now?"
"You're a member? I've never seen you before..." The woman seemed shocked, a puzzled look came over her face. "I've been in this guild all my life and I've never seen you..."
"I wouldn't expect you too... I've been doing things for quite some time..." The man replied recovering himself in cloth. "Look we can go talk to Makarov and sort this out... where is the old man?"
"He should be getting here any moment... " The woman appeared to be regaining her composure and quickly strode up and offered the man and armoured hand. "I'm Erza... Erza Scarlet... it's a pleasure to meet you...?"
The man shook her hand, a nice form grasp. "I'm Lion... Lion Dragneel"
Erza smiled and let go. "Well let's sit down... and..." Her brain suddenly caught up... what had he JUST said?
Thank you all for reading. Dont worry guys, Natsu will be on of the main characters in the stoy, it's not going to be OC orientated. I'm thinking of pairing Natsu with Lucy, I feel like it'll make alot of sense, especially for the story. Please PM or review, I appreciate any type of feedback.
Either way thank you for reading, next chapter will clear up more stuff... this was just a kind of teaser.
