VERY IMPORTANT UPDATE:

Oh my gosh, it's finally here! The sequel to Black Fairy is up right now! Hurry, go my children, fly over to Living Legacy...well, once you're done here anyway. And for those of you who haven't read this particular story already, what the hell are you doing reading something for people who've finished already? Go, read it! It's good, I promise!

I trudged through the summery forest just as aimlessly as I had the plains for it, and the town before it, and the lake before it, but this time…felt different somehow. Maybe it was because a rumbling was felt and an explosion was seen above the trees. "So…boring…" I said quietly to myself as I hopped up to the tops of the trees, looking for the source of the blast. I soon saw the smoke and headed in that direction.

When I arrived, I saw twelve figures, nine out of commission, one leaned up against a tree with a nasty wound on her arm, and the other two trying to patch up the rest. I walked around bit, surprisingly not attracting any attention for the two. I reached into my pack and brought out an apple, sitting behind the injured tree-leaner, taking a nice bite in with my unbandaged arm. "Hey there; looks rough," I commented.

"If you're not going to help, then buzz off!" she snapped, clearly not in the mood for games. I turned my head to her, taking another bite before crawling t in front of her, examining the wound. I, rather forcefully, grabbed her arm and pulled it up to get a better look. She looked to be trying to wrestle free, but she was so weak from the poison that she couldn't put up much of a fight. "What're you doing?" she demanded weakly.

"Hm…I'd say you got a couple of hours before you kick the bucket," I commented with a casual smile to offset the words that just spewed from my mouth. "What do you say I fix you up?"

She gave me a look of shock. "You can…?"

"Sure can. Hang on," I said as I placed my bandaged hand over the wound. The runes lining my arm under the bandage began to shine through in a dank and menacing black. The woman swatted my hand away. "What?"

"…Dark…magic…" she choked out.

"Look, lady, it's either this or the bucket; your choice," I said, once again placing my hand over her wound. The glow returned and with a few grunts of pain from the woman, the wound was at least free of the stigma. "My magic makes me immune to curses and poison, and I can temporarily transfer that power to others; at least for long enough to dispel the stigma in question," I explained.

The woman was catching her breath. "You're a mage I see," she commented. I looked at her mark.

"Fairy Tail, huh?" I commented.

"That's right, and you're…" she searched my body as we both stood. "Um…"

"I'm an independent mage," I said. "Though…maybe after I find what I'm looking for, then I can join a guild," I said further.

"And what is it you're looking for?"

"Well, before I tell, how about a name to put to that lovely face?" I winked at her as she gave me a look of mild or mock disgust.

"Erza; Erza Scarlet; an S-class Fairy Tail mage."

"I see, and, uh…what are you doing here, so far away from Magnolia?"

"We happen to be dealing with…well, I might be inclined to give you a full story if you give me a name to put to that ugly mug of yours."

I frowned, shaking it off. "I'm Inigo Asher, and I'm a Thunder Devil Slayer."

"Devil Slayer? That sounds like a Lost Magic. I've never met a Devil Slayer. What do they do?"

"Well, a lot of people compare it to other slayer magic like the Dragon Slayers, and it's pretty much the same thing. It's just one was made for dragons and one was made for devils."

"Oh, the She-Devil's going to love you for that," one of the others said as they got up groggily. "The name is Gray," he said as he pointed to his chest.

"Yeah, um…I ask again, what happened here?"

"We're helping to take down the Oracion Seis; a dark guild."

I nodded. "…And you really need all of these guys to do it…and you still lost? Isn't Fairy Tail supposed to be the strongest guild in Fiore or something?"

"You're damn right it is!" a loud voice came from the other side of the clearing as a pink-haired man stormed up to me. "And don't you forget it, pal!"

Erza clocked him on the head, sending him straight into the ground. "Down, boy!" she snapped. "Now, where was I? Ah yes, the Oracion Seis is made up of six of the most powerful mages in all of Earthland. Fairy Tail's strength alone, unfortunately, wasn't enough for this job. We got the help of Lamia Scale, Blue Pegasus, and Cait…Shelter. Hey, where's Wendy?" Erza wondered as she looked around. The others stopped and looked too, no one finding anything.

"Happy is gone too," the pick-haired one stated.

"Natsu, can you follow their scent?" Gray asked.

"Not sure, that poison-bastard's stench is still fresh, but maybe…"

"Hey, I saw a flying snake head that way when I came here," I said as I pointed toward the falls. "Is that who you're looking for?"

"Yes! Yes it is! Thank you, stranger!" a blond stated as she followed the others to where I was pointing. "I'm Lucy, by the way."

"Inigo…" I trailed off as I was left alone again. "Strange…I'm not hurt by the abandonment anymore. And the presence I felt on that woman…it's the one I'm looking for, but it's not…her…" I muttered to myself as I followed them at a leisurely pace. "Oh well…might as well help out while I'm looking…"

I arrived at the falls a bit late to the party. To my left I saw an open field with many artificial racers with Gray piloting one of them and someone else racing him. To my right I saw Natsu being held up by a winged cat fighting the guy on the snake. However, it was right in front of me that I saw the strangest thing.

A man with a deep blue hair color stepped out of the cave, just as if he had woken up, the tattoo on his face made him stick out like a sore thumb. I clenched my fist, feeling my body begin to shake upon feeling his presence.

"There you are…Jellal!"

Author's Note:

Quite short, I know, but give me a break as it was a fresh idea at the time, anyway, onto format for OCs should you want to give any.

DO NOT PUT THEM INTO A REVIEW! Any review submitted OCs will be ignored; PM me by clicking on the little letter near my profile name at the top.

Anyway, include name, personality, magic type, good or evil, or neither, and backstory.

Note that backstory could be as sparse or dense as you would like, depending on how much you trust me to interpret it. If you don't want me to have any control over their backstory, then include many details like where they're from, if they know or are related to the canon cast in anyway, etc. Also, once you submit, you will have no control over where I take the character; sorry, but such is the life of a writer to be creative with what they're given.

Also note that I'll rarely accept OCs with OP magic like Death Magic, Life Magic, Supremacy of any kind, etc. Stick to original or canon-modified magics please.

At the start, I will be taking no more than like seven, three evil and four good OCs...at first. I'll probably accept more as it goes along, but hell, it's not even started yet. Anyway, this'll be posted on my profile so if you forget, go there. So...yeah, have fun and be creative.
