Fairy Tail Minus One Chapter 3: Meet the Heartfillas
(A/N: To summarize, there are going to a total of 30 Arcs within the Fanfic I've already planned and prewritten out. Unlike the previous Fan fiction Bleach Shippuden or the now discontinued Naruto and Fairy Tail crossover Tales of the Dragon Fox(Discontinued by myself at least), I have spent the last 4 months pre-planning and writing out the entire storyline of Fairy Tail Minus One to make sure I know what I' m writing. Here are the 30 arcs outlined in the upcoming future.
Arc 1: Princess of Dragons Arc (X370-X381)
Arc 2: New Queen of Dragons Arc( X385-X389)
Arc 3: Past Tartarus Arc (X389)
Arc 4: Dragon Festival War Arc(X391-X397)
Arc 5: Fairy Tail Zero Arc( X686-X697)
Arc 6: Scarlet Despair Arc(X764-X776)
Arc7: Rise of Titania Arc (X776-X778)
Arc 8: Visitation Civil War Arc(X778-X779)
Arc 9: Isghal Invasion Arc(X781)
Arc 10:9th Tower of Heaven Arc Arc(X781)
Arc 11: Rise of a New Era Arc(X782-X784)
Arc 12: Team Natsu reloaded Arc( X784)
Arc 13: Tower of Heaven reloaded Arc(X784)
Arc 14: Fanastia Fesvtial reloaded Arc (X784)
Arc 15: Orcian Sies Reloaded arc (X784)
Arc 16: Daphne Arc reloaded arc (X784)
Arc 17: Edolas Arc Reloaded (X784)
Arc 18: Tenterou Island reloaded Arc (X784)
Arc 19: Disappearance of Fairy Tail Arc (X784-X791)
Arc 20: Key to a Starry Sky Arc reloaded(X791)
Arc 21: Grand Magic Games Arc reloaded(X791 )
Arc 22: Dragon Festival reloaded Arc (X791)
Arc 23: Post Magic Games Arc ( Eclipse Celestial Spirits Arc/ Phoniex Priestess Movie Village Arc)(X791)
Arc 24: Present Tartarus Arc (X791)
Arc 25: Raven Tail uprising Arc(X791)
Arc 26: Fairy Tail Disbandment Arc (X791-X792)
Arc 27: Avatar Arc reloaded (Late X792 )
Arc 28: Dragon Cry reloaded (Early X793)
Arc 29: Alaverz Arc reloaded (May X793)
Arc 30: Scarlet Requieum Arc(X793)
Overall there's twice as many arcs as canon however it's going to be a much shorter story than canon with each arc getting an average of 5 chapters with the main exceptions being the Alaverz Empire Arc, Visatron Civil War Arc, and the Dragon War which would need at least 10 chapters to do it right. At best we're looking at at least 150 chapters, 200 chapters maximum to properly send off the series.
And yes I did add two Fan Fiction exclusive Arcs separate from canon into the mix, the 9th Tower of Heaven Arc and the Raven Tail uprising Arc. Without spoiling the plot, the 9th Tower of Heaven is a separate group of cultists trying to bring back Zeref that precedes canon and actually dwells into Erza's journey Post S Class mage in her very first S Class mission and Raven Tail Uprising is about Raven Tail breaking out of prison and starting an uprising as a result of the crippled Magic Council post Tartarus Arc to add some backstory and depth to the Deryar family included .
As for filler Arcs, each of the filler arcs within anime are going to be made more plot-relevant to the actual plot. Daphne Arc would be tied more into the Dragon lore in the series, Key to the Starry Sky Arc and Eclipse Celestial Spirit Ard would actually tie almost exclusively to the Heartfilla family, the Phoniex Priestess Movie add on to the overall Post games arc would tie into events of the Past Tartarus Arc and be foreshadowing of the Tartarus Arc overall leading to Sun Village Arc and any filler that might come out in 2018's season of Fairy Tail might be added into the story if it can benefit the lore world building I'm doing here. As for the Dragon Cry movie, it's going to be implemented into the story once I've seen the movie considering that it's said to have a key piece of Ancologia's backstory which I also plan to integrate into the story overall.)

Irene's POV
4 years later
June 30, X380
For the next 4 years, I attended the Magical Academy of gifted students, a school reserved for the Elite family and noble clans. Back before the days of guilds, Magic was limited to only less than 1% of the human population worldwide, only the elites from noble families, powerful noble clans or rare beings with magical powers
Up until recently with Fiore under King Geroge the 4th and Victor Heartfilla and the establishment of the Zen kingdom recently, Dragonv was the only country in the world aside from Caelum that allowed women to obtain an education and attend schools due to the Patriarchal history of most cultures across the world. Dragonv's Manga Carta treaty was one of the most progressive treaties ever signed into law that lead to women's rights being slowly expanded across the world.
I made the top of the class when it came to Magical spells and Magical energy control, however, I still lagged behind on physical strength. My swordsmanship was okay but still not what I desired at all… While my magical prowess was very good, I still lacked the skill with a blade compared to my mother. While using magic is very handy, in order to truly become the Queen of Dragons, one must master the Satsuki. I also just got out on summer break alongside my friends in school.
While my skills were better than most people, I was still no match for Kanzaki who has defeated me 20 times within a sword duel. It got to the point I gave up for a while out of frustration given I didn't know how to use a sword on such a skill level.
Other than my training regiments and school, life was swell within Dragonv, Little did I know is that that peace would not last for much longer. I was playing in the garden with my best friend Erenjack, the son of my mothers top general. We've both grown considerably since then, Erenjack had longer, scruffier hair and gotten noticeably taller whereas I got taller as well, however, being a girl, Erenjack was starting to become taller than me.
Given I spent time hanging out with him, I started to become more like a guy than a girl. While I still enjoyed flowers, I didn't like having to wear dresses and heels given how uncomfortable the heels felt and how restrictive the dresses felt on me and prefer to wear a simple shirt and slacks. Boy, it's amazing to see how different I was back at that age.
"Tag you're it!" Erenjack said to me as he ran trying to avoid getting tagged by me.
4 years really changed all of us. Erenjack after seeing me defeat the mighty master theft Jora Noseberg trained every day with his father to learn basic magic and being able to defend himself. Erenjack has gained a bit of confidence after being an introverted child, probably because he idolized my strength and saw me as his hero. He has gotten considerably faster as she was able to run across the vast courtyard in under a minute, a courtyard as wide enough to fit a Battalion of Dragons, However, he wasn't as skilled as me when it came to magical spells.
"Got Ya!" I replied as tapped Erenjack on the shoulder, I was still faster than him.
"Gajeel, Irene!" Erenjacks friends said as they come to the courtyard to hang out with us. In the 4 years, me and Erenjack have been friends, we made 4 more friends. 3 of them were from working-class Immigrant families and one of them was a noble form a very powerful clan within Northern Dragonv.
"Long time no see Yamu," Erenjack said to the young kid with the white and black toned hair.
"I was only gone a month with my parents forcing me to attend their lame festival or something, boring grown-up stuff." Yamu stated with the typical attitude of a brat who wanted to act tough.
"You know you should take your traditions a bit more seriously Yamu." the nerdy green hair boy said to Yamu with a much more timid tone.
"Sal quit being such a good two shoes and live a little, we only live once," Yamu stated with a cocky smile and he spits out the toothpick in his mouth and puts another in.
"Hey, at least I don't end up grounded like you or Erenjack!" Sal stated with his nasally voice.
"Because you're too chicken to play our games, I mean it says something when a girl is less of a chicken than you." Yamu replied mocking the nerdy kid and talking shit towards me.
"What did you say?" I shouted at him not liking his condensing remark.
"What, I was just saying the fact he's not as cool as you princess." Yamu replied with a smile on his face knowing that I didn't like the way he called me princess.
"Want me to kick your butt again Yamu?" I asked him as I take out my wooden sword.
"I know I'm going to beat you, I'm going to beat you and then beat Kanzaki and be the best swordsman in the world." Yamu replied as he cockily takes out his wooden kendo stick.
The fight goes as expected, in 10 seconds, he was on the floor defeated. Yamu was always the type to challenge me to a fight, being the hot-headed troublemaker that he is. He was your typical delinquent who dyed half his hair white, had a toothpick in his mouth and carried a kendo stick. Despite his strict parents, Yamu was a troublemaker and my mother always questioned why I hang with him but deep down he was a nice guy.
"Damn it, I want a rematch, I can't lose to a girl!" Yamu shouted as he tries not to cry.
"You fought her 100 times already Yamu, just give up," Rio said to him concerned about his buddy.
"Damn it! One day I will beat you, princess!" Yamu said to me referring to his one-sided rivalry with me. It was hardly a fair one given Yamu's parents were immigrants from Gappione who fled from the Dragon War and had no magical power. Yamu got into the magical academy because of Kajeel recommending him after
"Now that fight is settled, can we think of a fun game to play?"Rio asked the group only to slip into some mud and get covered in it and start crying." No, my new clothes my mother bought for me." Rio was the least lucky kid we ever knew. He was a fat, dark skin kid who had parents from Khangora, a country southeast of Dragonv while the son was born within Dragnov, however, the kid always gets comically unlucky and is known a lot for being a crybaby. Yamu often teases him as well as Erenjack and I usually get into fights with the two of them for being jerks to him, however, he was a strong child but also a gentle giant.
"Great idea Rio, mud fight!" Erenjack shouted as he picked up mud and threw it at me actually hitting my white shirt.
"Oh, it's on Erenjack!" I replied as I threw mud at him back.
Rio's mood improved as he threw mud at both of us. As usual, it then became a 3 on 1 with all the boys ganging up to throw mud at me, however, Linda as usual steps in.
"Linda won't let you gang up on a fellow girl," Linda said to me as she used her water magic to hit the dirt, creating mud for me and her to fling at the boys. Despite her emotionless tone and introverted personality, she was a loyal friend of mine and probably the only friend I had that was a girl, in spite that, she was tough enough to hang with the boys despite being much more feminine than me.
Linda was quite the odd girl, she often in a third person almost as if she was speaking about herself from a different person. She hair as blue as ocean water with midnight blue eyes and skin as white as the snow, in fact during the winter when we had our snowball fights, she would beat everyone given not only was she white enough to blend with the snow but also heavily resistant to the cold. Part of it has to do with the black overcoat she always wore, even during summer as well as the Cossack hat worn by the people within Northern Dragonv.
"Hey! No fair, you have that water mage to help you!" Yamu whined complaining about the fact that Linda's family was a clan of famous water mages. It's hard to believe such trouble making delinquent came from a hardworking immigrant family and such a strict upbringing.
"You're the idiots who made this about boys vs girls, knowing very well that there are two girls who can use magic and only one boy who can use magic," I replied as we threw mud at each other in our playful fighting.
"Not this again, if you need me I'm going to be reading this book about the history of the Crocus Empire," Sal said to us as he went to reading his book. Sal was always the goody two shoe friend who occasionally told us when we were up to no good. Sal was a nerdy kid who liked math and wanted to be a scholar when he grew up, his family moved from Bosco to Dragonv during the last Dragonv War, he was the one always telling us not to get into trouble and trying to talk us out of our pranks and schemes.
The battle ended in a tie when my mother came in and stopped the game notably upset that I was playing in the mud again.
"That's enough from all of you, stop flinging mud at each other this instant."My mother said to us as we all stopped our game.
"But mommy, we were going to win!" I said to her wanting to continue the game.
"No buts, get into the bathing quarters and wash up. As for all of you, head home to your parents, the princess has some business to take care of." My mother said to the children as they all headed home.
"You know we should be studying for the summer vacation so we're not caught off guard by the new grade within the Wizzard Academy," Sal said to his friends as they walk away from me.
"And what miss out on the fun? School is boring man." Yamu replied not interested in working on school work.
"He has a point though, we'll never learn magic at this rate," Rio stated with concern.
"I can care less about magic, I just want to be able to use swords and kick ass like the Samurais within my own country," Yamu explained to the others idolizing the samurais who were like superheroes within his land.
"You're never going to do that as long as you goof off. There's a time to play and there's a time for work, that what separates me from you." Erenjack stated with utter seriousness. Despite Erenjack being a troublemaker himself, he took his studies seriously and like Linda was ahead of his class in terms of skill only behind myself.
"He has a point, Linda and Erenjack are both top students in terms of magical use, Rio seems to be doing very good with Physical ED but is having trouble with math, Sal has passed all the written tests but lacks the power to use magic whereas you just goof around all the time. "Linda explained to Yamu within her usual third-person perspective.
"Oh come on, class is so boring. If they want me to learn magic, why do I need to read about the history of Dragonv or Gappione or have to learn math? Why just teach us how to shoot fireballs and skip the boring stuff." Yamu whined.
"Because knowledge is key to using magic," Sal answered.
"Which is why you can't use it ?" Yamu taunted only to get slapped in the head by Linda.
"That's not very nice you know," Yamu whined holding onto his head.
"You deserved it, idiot!" Linda replied with a pout.
"Am I the only one who thinks the Queen is very odd?" Yamu asked the others.
"What do you mean by that?"Erenjack asked wondering about the question.
"She doesn't wear much clothing, back where I'm from, women don't tend to dress in clothing exposing most of their skin. Something about modesty I guess." Yamu explained to the others.
"You have a point Yamu, most girls don't like wearing too little clothing. Then again most girls aren't as strong if not stronger than dragons."Erenjack replied innocently.
"Anyways we should be getting home, don't want my parents to yell at me again," Yamu said to them as he leaves the group and the group walks out of the castle.
Yamu was right, up until that point I never noticed it but My mother has never known for modesty. Back in the Middle Ages, even in the most progressive of societies, women dressed very modestly. My mother, on the other hand, preferred to wear a regal white dress with a cleavage Window and her back fully exposed and had nothing covering her breasts underneath her outfit. I was often surprised she didn't have any wardrobe malfunctions. Then again I can see where me and Erza get this from.
"Seriously, Irene, I know you want to play with the boys and I have no problems with you playing with boys given I was once like you at your age but would it kill you to not dirty your dresses prior to our important meeting with the Zentopian church?" my mother said to me scolding me about my reckless behavior.
"I got a question mommy," I asked my mother.
"Go ahead and ask my dear daughter." my mother answered curiously to hear my question.
"Why do you dress like that? Most girls I know don't dress that way, they're too ashamed of people calling them names, including their parents. They often say it's humiliating and degrading for a woman to dress like that." I explained to my mother wondering exactly why is it that she dresses as if she was with my dad alone in their room.
"Simple why not? You would understand one day that. Just remember these words, Revealing my breasts doesn't make me any less than I am now… You can only be demeaned if you let people judge your body. That revealing your body doesn't make you any less powerful as a woman and dressing the way I do is how I'm able to utilize my magic by becoming confident with myself and body You and my father dress this way because it's how we achieve our own happiness. I consider the human body to be an art, a beautiful art, hence I have no reason to hide my natural beauty that much." my mother explained to me using insane troll logic to justify why she dresses so revealing. It's almost as if not only she didn't understand the concept of modesty but actively opposed it as if she was dressing up for a perverted god.
"Yep, your mother is a truly fearless woman and that's what I love about her." my father replied appearing behind my mother.
"Wash yourself and get dressed okay." My mother replied as she holds onto dad's hand.
"Okay, Mommy,"I replied as I go to the shower, however, I dropped my wooden sword. I then looked through the crack of the door when I saw my mother picked up dad and throw him on the bed with a gorilla press slam and pounce on him like a hungry tiger.
The plumbing of Medival times was much different from modern times. We didn't have showers, we relied on baths connected to ancient Aqueduct from the Crocus Empire to fill our homes and we used latrines for bathroom business. Back in the days, having a plumbing system and Latrines were a luxury for only the nobles and elites.
After taking my long bath. We were at the dining hall with various guests within the event. This was a major gathering of various diplomats and world leaders at the time. My mother was wearing a very conservative dress covering up to her neck while my father wore a white regal trouser suit common amongst the timeline. Amongst then was Kanzaki's father Shigeru and Kanzaki herself, except rather than wearing her typical kimono, she was in a frilly purple dress that she didn't like and wasn't carrying her Wazashiki this time either due to the rules of Zentopia forbidding people from brandishing swords in public.
"Hey, Kanzaki!" I said to her happy to see her again.
"Not today Irene, I don't even have my sword with me," Kanzaki replied with her soft-spoken mellow tone.
"We can still spar with wooden swords," I stated hoping to play with someone else.
"Sorry, but you would do no such thing today Irene."My mother replied with her strict tone.
"Why not mommy? Also, why am I wearing this stupid frilly dress?" I asked her unhappy to be wearing this dress.
"We're doing this for the sake of appearances." My mother answered while being slightly noticeably uncomfortable wearing the dress.
"We'll play like we usually do some other time," Kanzaki stated notably irritated at the fact she doesn't have a sword on her and forced to wear frilly dresses.
The next people I met was my lost Cousin Jackson Shakespeare. He had short white and black tone hair like Yamu but unlike him, he was very noble in appearance and mannerism. With him was my uncle Julius Shakespeare who was a lean, effeminate-looking man with two-tone hair. They were from the country of Seven who married my deceased aunt Juliet over a decade ago.
"Hey Julius!" my mother said to my uncle as she hugged him with her death spiral hugs which were akin to being squeezed by a Dragon. My dad had to step in and remove her from my uncle before his face turned blue.
"Honey you really need to work on the bearhugs." dad said to my mother scolding her of her bad habit of hugging things too hard.
"Sorry about that…I guess old habits die hard." my mother replied with a shrug out of embarrassment as her face turned red as her hair.
"Never thought I see you dressed so conservatively Ecaralte," Julius said to my mom surprised to see my mother so modest.
"I have a very important meeting today with the Zenotpian Chruch today. You know better than anyone else how strict Zentopians are right?" mom said to my uncle
"Hello Jackson, now time no see! How're things holding out with you?" Dad said to my uncle with his manly and regal tone in contrast to the more effeminate uncle Julius.
"Not exactly easy. I really loved Juliet, shame she isn't her with us." Uncle Julius stated sad that my aunt couldn't be here today.
"I wish I was stronger, every day I can't help but think of my failures to protect Juliet, Heine, and Eileen. I wished I had the strength I had when I defeated Morton to protect them from their fate." my mother replied looking down in sorrow. She always felt guilty that she couldn't protect her three sisters that fallen during the war.
"Cheer up my dear sister! Had not for their sacrifice, neither you or I would've survived to have protected the world from the Dark Dragon Alliance." my aunt Asuka replied as she walked by with her Husband who was the king of the country of Zen. My aunt had two long braids for her hair and dressed in conservative Zenith clothing as well as my Uncle Frederick Corona. my aunt had red hair like my mother while my uncle had blue eyes and blonde hair.
"Asuka!" my mother said to my aunt as she hugs her causing my aunt to struggle against the bear hug grip of my mother's deadly hugs.
"Great Messiah, you're going to kill someone with those hugs one day!" aunt Asuka whined as she felt on her back.
"I try to control it, for some reason I can't control my strength that well when it comes to hugs. Let's hope you don't get this problem in the future Irene or my future grandchild." My mother said to me with a humorous tone.
"Seems like you've finally deiced to dress like a proper woman," Asuka replied surprised to see my mother dressed that way.
"Your remarks aside, it's nice seeing you again as well." My mother responded looking at her with slight irritation.
"No need to get so upset!" my aunt stated.
"Yeah, we are, even if we clearly disagree with each other we're still blood. I just wish Eileen, Juliet and Heine were still alive to see this era of peace they all fought hard for." My mother stated with a solemn tone.
"Stop feeling down for yourself, you did the best you could for them. Even if you fully achieved your power in time, there was no guarantee you could've prevented their fate. I turned to God who assures me that they are doing well in heaven, hence I fell in love with Fred who helped me in my darkest time." My aunt said to my mother notably happy to have found god.
"Same thing with me and Charles, they're within a better place, I hope." my mother replied.
"Aunt Asuka!" I said to her as I hugged her.
"Hello Irene, long time no see isn't has been growing into a fine woman, eating your vegetables?" my aunt asked me.
"Yep, mommy said it would make me big and strong like her," I answered with my childish tone.
"So where's cousin Rena?" I asked aunt Asuka.
"She's right there with your father. Rena is quite shy as you might know." Asuka explained to me.
"I almost forgot, Rena, isn't much of a talker to anything I'm the only person she really talks with," I replied.
"Rena!" I said to my cousin.
"Irene!" My cousin replied with a smile as we hug each other.
"How's everything with you cousin?" I asked my cousin.
"Fine, it's rare we see each other together but we're quite close despite the fact we live entire continents apart," Rena replied.
"So when's my good friend Victor coming through?" Frederick asked the group given he also shared a very religious viewpoint to the Pope of Zentopia and were as clean-cut and clean shaved.
"He should be here soon! Let's catch up on talking about the old days prior." my father replied as he talked with my uncle.
"Perhaps we should talk more and let the kids play with each other. Don't want to bore them with adult things. " My mother said to my aunt as they go with their husbands to talk about stuff no child cares about while I hung out with Rena in these uncomfortable heels.
"So what are we going to play Cousin Jack?" I asked him only for him to sit in a chair and start to fall asleep.
"I do what I usually do, sleep!" Jack answered with his solemn tone as he instantly falls asleep. Cousin Jack was known for being able to sleep for over 15 hours a day somehow.
"Uh…What about you Rena?" I asked my cousin.
"I don't know, I prefer to be home…I don't really like big crowds of people." My cousin answered.
"I noticed, you should really get to be better with people, after all, you're going to be Queen one day…Also, how do women walk around with heels on? These things feel so uncomfortable." I asked her as I struggled to walk properly with heels.
"You'll get used to them, I was forced to wear them for ceremonial occasions too. I know an even better dress you can wear that would be more comfortable in." My cousin said to me as she takes me to change up in a room.
My Uncle Frederick and Aunt Asuka part of the Proto Zentopian religion, Temple of Zen. Unlike my parents, Asuka and Frederick were very conservative in traditions and appearance with them wearing religious clothing most of the time, then again they are Kings and Queens of the ancient country of Zen, said to be the birthplace of the Chosen One who created One Magic.
"Honestly if I have to sit here and do this, I'm going to kill myself out of boredom,"Zeusei replied as he walks around bored out of his mind.
"So where's Weisslogia, Skiadrum, Grandeeney, and Venomisky at?"Metalicana asked.
"Grandeeney is with the first aid relief division in case of emergency and patrolling the skies for any Dragon threats alongside Belserion, Weisslogia is covering security within the front entrances, Skiadrum is covering all back entrances and exits and Venomisky is covering all emergency underground exists to make sure no one sneaks into the castle through there," Ingeel explained to the dragons.
"Belserion is quite the worry worthy isn't he?"Metalicana stated looking bored.
"Ever since the death of Alexander Dragneel, there's believed to be a growing resurgence of the Dark Dragon Tribe. Considering the Dark Dragon Tribe assassinated the previous King and Queen of this country 14 years ago during a conference which started the Dragon War, we can't risk another Dragon War, especially when we're still below the forces needed to fight another major to the group as he recalls the first Dragon War.
"I see your point, very well, we'll continue this search here," Metalicana replied.
By comfortable, she meant for her. Rena was a goody two shoes much like Sal was but she was clearly so pampered that she never understood exactly how other girls who didn't grow up in traditional households felt about having to move around in those infernal torture devices we call footwear.
Later on, I was walking around with a fancy tiara on with a very long pink dress with a heart-shaped emblem on it with white gloves on. At the very least, I wasn't wearing high heels, just sandal-like shoes.
"I look ridiculous!" I said to my cousin deeply embarrassed I have to wear something this insanely girly.
"You look great, the dress suits your look perfectly." My cousin replied as she grabs a bunch of flowers.
"I prefer to be in trousers, to be honest," I replied as I walked around in this ridiculous outfit.
Erenjack, Sal, Rio, and Yamu returned back to the castle but were denied entry by Wessslioga.
"What do you mean I can't get in today? I'm always allowed in." Erenjack whined.
"Sorry King and Queen's orders, for today only commoners are not allowed into the Castle." Weisslogia answered as he blocked off the passage from the kids.
"Why not ?" Rio asked.
"The Pope is coming to the castle, the queen closed the Wish Box for today," Weisslogia explained to the children.
"Darn it, I wasn't finished playing with Irene," Erenjack whined.
"Sorry but it's for today, you can always play with her tomorrow!" Weisslogia said to the boys while Linda walks by with her family of water mages.
"No fair! You let Linda in but not us! " Yamu shouted.
"Weren't you paying attention? Linda is a noble from the noble Lockser Water Clan. She's not like us. Let's just hang out with each other and play with Irene tomorrow," Erenjack explained to Yamu as they leave the castle area only to meet the school bully himself Lexiel.
He was a tall teenage boy that was 4 years older than us, he had spiky blonde hair and wore a purple tunic and trousers with regal patterns common amongst the Deryar family. The arrogant brat was known none other as Lexiel Deryar of the Deryar Clan, the most powerful Clan in Dragonv aside from Dragonv itself.
He was with his parents, one being a woman with dark brown hair in a ponytail while his father had spiky hair like him with a spike mustache and beard but he was very short compared to his tall wife who was as tall as a man.
"Sorry brats but this is an establishment for people with wealth and class, not annoying little commoners," Lexiel said to the kids with his condensing attitude.
"What did you say?" Erenjack asked the bully as he got in his face.
"You're out of your league kid. I'm older and stronger than your friend Irene, what thinks a bunch of commoners could hold their own with me?" Lexiei asked my friend
"Lexiel, no picking fights with commoners! We have a meeting to attend to." Lexiel's father said to his son with his raspy regal voice as he grabs his son's hand.
"Yeah, these little urchins are hardly worth your time." Lexiel's mother replied with her chin up high as they walk past my friends with their elitist attitude.
"Jerks!" Erenjack shouted upset at the condensation from the Deryar family.
"Don't let Lexiel get to you!" Sai said to Erenjack.
"You forget he's the same guy who shoved your head into a Latrine and gave you a wedge…He's nothing more but a bully and jerk." Erenjack replied looking at Lexiel with anger.
Hours passed by as I sat around bored along with Kanzaki and Linda with nothing to do but listen to grown-ups talk and some boring prayer rituals my cousin was into. It was easily the most boring ballroom dance party ever given it's a formal meeting between Dragonv politicians and the young Pope of Zentopia and his 7 Cardinals and 22 Archbishops. It was talking a while before the Pope showed up but when he did, it would be the beginning of density.
The pope was a middle-aged man older than my parents. The pope was a relatively tall middle-aged man with black eyes and slicked back blond hair he kept neatly trimmed and a matching, extremely trim mustache, and a rather firm, square jaw. He was wearing the Traditional Pope gown with the traditional headdress with glasses. He's holding a Bible within one hand.
He was accompanied by his wife who is a woman within her early 30's who was a pretty petite woman who was much shorter than the more Amazonian build my mother had who had wavy light blue hair that reaches down to the middle of her back with two strands that frame her face as well as a set of tufts that obscures the majority of her forehead. She's wearing a white dress covering up her breasts and long gloves as well. With them was a very young girl the same age as Irene who is wearing a nice white dress with a Tiara on it and a Zentopian cross. That girl would be known as Anna Heartfilla, arguably the biggest name in history.
"So you're the mighty Écarlate I've heard about? Nice to meet you, my name is Victor Heartfilla, the youngest person to become pope in Zentopia History and Pope for over 12 years." the people said to my parents in the driest and formal way.
"I see, your parents must've also died within the last Dragon War." My mother asked the Pope.
"My Biological parent's died long ago, my Step parents died in the war itself. May God rest their souls and guide them on the path to heaven." the pope replied looking down on himself.
"It's a pleasure to have you here Pope Heartfilla." my father said to the Pope as they shook hands with each other.
"We're indebted to the nation of Dragnov for saving Ishgar from the Western Dragons and rescuing us from the Amazonian and Adnosis tribes. This is my wife Jade Lenoa, one of 3 daughters of the Lenoa noble family and this is our child Anna Heartfilla." the Pope explained to my parents.
"She looks so lovely, and as for Jade, you seem like you two know each other for a while. Also, I thought Preist class clergymen and above couldn't get married." my mother asked the two.
"Simple, I changed the rules regarding that. As the young pope of the land, I wanted to make changes to the Zentopia Chruch to draw in more people to hear the word of god." the Pope explained to the two of them.
"I'm surprised they allowed you to do that." My mother stated shocked about this revelation.
"I had to convince them that it would reduce the chances of pedophilia occurring in the church before they listened. Anyways you child seems to be like a spitting image of her mother…Hopefully, she didn't inherit the problems of her mother and your past sins." Victor said to my mother.
"Well that's what I'm trying to raise my child right." my mother replied laughing thinking about her days of getting into fights and drinking, things not commonly associated with princesses or queens.
At the time all I heard was a bunch of grown-ups making boring grown-up talk, I didn't care at all for the political talk, I just wanted to play something. Like all kids, I wanted to leave this snore fest as much as possible. Thankfully I wasn't the only one bored as the young daughter of the two most powerful nobles also seemed bored.
'Hey there." I said to the noble daughter.
"Hello Princess Dragonv, you have a very nice castle," Anna said to me amazed to see a very large and beautiful castle.
"Thanks, just call me Irene," I replied blushing, I didn't like being called Princess that much, I was more of a formal person in my youth.
"My name is Anna Heartfilla of the Heartfilla family. We have a very big house that takes up the space of 36 small towns according to my dad and even that's smaller than this castle, I've never seen anything this big or beautiful." Anna explained to me as she marbled at the walls and decorations of the castle
"I can take you around the place if you like. " I said to Anna.
"Sure, I guess a tour of the castle wouldn't hurt," Anna replied as we walked together around the massive city that was the castle I lived in.
I showed Anna every part of the castle, from the thousands of rooms across the castle to the paintings around the castle worth Millions of rubies. After spending some time together, I caught up with Linda who came to me to say that my friends were trying to get into the castle.
"So they wanted to continue playing but were denied?" I asked Linda.
"Yep, they even wanted to resume playing the game but Wessologia said that they weren't allowed to go inside the castle today," Linda answered.
"That sucks, mommy is never like this," I stated normally upset at the fact I was denied.
"It's probably because my father is very strict," Anna replied.
"Wanna ditch this boring place?" I asked Anna.
"And what get in trouble with my parents?" Anna answered too afraid to even attempt it.
"Come on, anything is better than hearing a bunch of grown-ups talking about boring stuff," I stated pleading with Anna.
"Where should we go? " Anna asked me.
"I know the place to hang out and have fun," I replied as I dragged Anna with my insane strength for her age.
"Wait I haven't said yes!" Anna replied as I dragged her away.
"Linda is unsure about bringing Anna around," Linda said to me.
"Relax, it's not too far from the castle." I assured Anna.
Erenjack is playing kickball in the backyard of his house with Yamu and Rio while Sal is keeping score. It was around close to sunset when we arrived at the backyard.
"You arrived! Who's the girl?" Enrejack asked.
"This is my new friend Anna, she's like the daughter of the Pope." I answered.
" Hi!"Anna said to Erenjack shy around the boys.
"You act as if it's some big deal, it's just a bunch of guys here," I stated not sure why she was uncomfortable around guys.
"Back where I'm from, guys and girls aren't allowed to hang out with each other often. I attend an All Girls Academy of wizards due to my parent's upbringing." Anna explained to me.
"Irene, what's with that beautiful dress?" Erenjack asked with a slight crush.
"Oh this, some boring old dress mommy forced on me, mommy hasn't been acting herself lately because of this pope guy." I nonchalantly stated as is tugged at the dreadful dress.
"The Pope is very strict and very tough, he doesn't take a deviation from normal very well. Hell, he cares more about not offending God than he does spending time with his daughter." Anna replied looking down from the neglect caused by her father unintentionally.
"Your dad sounds like a real snore fest, at least he's not like my mother who's way too overprotective of me and won't give me my own privacy. I mean the princess of Gappione can wield a Samurai sword at age 6, I'm 10 years old and not given my own sword." I whined unhappily at how overprotective my mother has become in recent years.
"At least your parents care for you and always around. My dad is too busy with work most of the time to be around for his wife and child." Anna said to me.
"Are we going to play kickball or talk about our life stories?" Yamu asked us getting impatient with our talking.
"I thought we're going to play tag. " Rio stated.
"We were playing kickball before, why not," Yamu replied.
"Anna, have you ever played kickball?" I asked her.
"Not often!" Anna answered.
"Pass me the kickball!" I said to Yamu and he throws the kickball towards me and I caught the kickball.
"What, no! Not in this muddy place, it would ruin the dress." Anna whined.
"Dress, smesh, it's just clothing. It's going to get dirty eventually." I replied not caring about her dress.
"It's not very ladylike to run around roughhousing with boys, that's at least what my mother taught me," Anna stated with her soft feminine voice.
"My mother taught me to do whatever you want as long as you don't hurt others now let's play some sports," I replied as I passed her the ball while smiling at Anna.
Anna tries to kick the ball but due to the fact she was wearing heels, she tripped and fell on her ass which caused Yamu and Erenjack to burst out laughing.
"You fell on your butt," Yamu said to Anna as Anna then starts crying.
"No, I got my dress ruined!" Anna whined as tears flow down her eyes.
I did what I was known for doing, giving Yamu and Erenjack a knuckle sandwich. I then picked up Anna and put her back on her feet.
I used an enchantment spell my dad taught me to remove the dirt off of Anna's dress and then hand Linda wash off dirt on Anna's face and arms.
"There, good as new," I said to Anna.
"Man you two are quite talented for your age when it comes to magic," Anna stated happily that I got all the dirt from her.
"Linda is from a very powerful water clan and the top of her class in the Magic Academy and I'm the daughter of the former Noble Prince of Fiore and former Princess of Dragonv. Magic comes to us pretty naturally." I explained to my new best friend.
"Anyone else here that can use magic?" Anna asked.
"I can look at this!" Erenjack answered as he shows off his Metal Make magic to make a sword appear in his hand as well as a shield.
"That's so cool, back when I'm from, Magic is forbidden unless you have a license by the Chruch," Anna explained to me explaining only elites can use magic only for me to pass her the ball.
"Okay now try kicking the ball," I said to Anna as I used my speed to remove her shoes.
"Hey give those back, I can't walk around barefoot," Anna shouted.
"You can't walk around and play these games with those infernal demon shoes either. Now kick the ball."I replied smiling as I removed my annoying high heels as well.
"Okay then!" Anna replied as she kicks the ball again but given she was the strength of an average young girl, she didn't kick it very far.
"Man you kick like a girl, even Linda can kick further than that." I said to Anna.
"Aren't you a girl too?" Anna asked confused about my meaning.
"This is how you should kick the ball," I replied as I kicked the ball very far to the other end of the field like a professional kickball player.
"Whoa, you kick like a man!" Anna asked shocked to see me hit the ball with such strength. A common misconception is that just because you know magic, means you're also gifted with superhuman strength, I happen to be one of the mages that have both.
"It wasn't easy, it takes a lot of practice to get it down right. Don't feel bad, I used to kick as girly as you a few years back but I've honed my skills." I explained to Anna with complete disregard for my feminity.
"So are we going to play an actual game or what?" Yamu asked.
"Yep and we're making it Boys vs Girls again," I answered.
"No offense but Anna is kinda dead weight!" Erenjack stated.
"Linda agrees, she's not good at kicking the ball," Linda replied agreeing with Erenjack.
"She'll never know until she tries right? It's not like all of us are world class kickball players." I said to them as I stood up for Anna.
"Thanks, Irene!" Anna replied as she hugged me for standing up for her.
We played kickball for at least 2 hours until the sun has fully set. As expected our team lost to the boys however in spite of our loss, Anna proved to be decent at defense and held her own in blocking the ball. Despite her extremely feminine posture and physical nature, she got the hang of the game and we all have fun.
"Not bad out there!" Erenjack said to Anna praising her spirit.
"She would make a good field goalie at the very least. " Yamu replied with him even respecting Anna.
"Linda was wrong to judge you so harshly, we might've lost but you never gave up and gave it your all," Linda said to Anna with her typical third person, emotionless tone.
"I did have a lot of fun, I just wish I could've gotten us that score," Anna stated looking a bit down losing.
"Hey you had fun, that's all that matters. Me and Linda usually don't have help against the boys and while I can outkick any boy around my age, we lose all the time in this particular game due to the 2 to 3 advantage and the fact Yamu and Erenjack are both physically stronger than Linda despite her being more talented in magic." I explained to Anna noting the obvious differences in strength between boys and girls.
"This is the most fun I ever had," Anna stated happily to have played such a fun game despite being covered in dirt.
"See, what did I tell you? You could've sat there for hours listening to a bunch of boring crap from grown-ups or played here and have a lot of fun." I replied with a smile on my face.
"You're different from most girls I know. You have a bit of femininity within you but you're also like a guy, not a lot of girls like you for where I come from." Anna said to me admiring my toughness and bravery.
"Really, I see Tomboys all the time here. I've only visited Fiore on rare occasions to see my father's family or for business meetings, I rarely have seen people living within Fiore. That would explain why you're so girly." I said to Anna admiring her girly nature. Part of me was jealous of how pretty Anna was.
"So what magic do you have?"Yamu asked Anna.
"Oh, nothing special, just Celestial Spirit Mage magic," Anna answered.
"Celestial Spirit Magic?" Yamu asked confused.
"You really need to pay more attention in class. Celestial Spirit Magic is a type of Magic in which the user summons Celestial Spirits by opening their gates through the use of Celestial Spirit Gate Keys. These Keys are separated into two classes: the more common Silver Keys and the rare Gold Keys. Keys for Celestial Spirits are counted in Units, and a Celestial Spirit Mage is noted by how many Units they have obtained." Sal explained to all of us.
"So how many keys do you have?" Rio asked Anna.
"I have at least 4 silver keys and a gold key," Anna answered as she shows off her keys.
"You can use Celestial Spirit Magic at such a young age? Impressive, you must be at the very top of your class to use such complex magic." I said to Anna.
"My mother was once known for having 3 Golden Keys prior to marrying my father. She retired from being a Celestial Spirit Mage and sold the two other Celestial Spirits off and gave me this one which she told me to only use in case of an emergency for the power of Golden Celestial Spirits might be too much for a little girl to handle." Anna explained to us as everyone was now interested in learning about her Celestial Spirit magic.
"3 Golden Keys, that's a rarity in itself," Linda stated.
"Yep, it's believed that there are 12 Golden Keys and 12 Black Keys. This makes being a Celestial Spirit Wizzard a very rare magic practiced within the world. There are hundreds of bronze keys that channel spirit like mediums but they're nowhere near as powerful as Celestial Spirits. It's believed that once one has the procession of all the Celestial Spirit Keys, they can come closer to finding the power of the One Magic." Anna explained to us.
"One Magic? Mom and dad always talk about it!" I said to Anna.
"That's because the One Magic is the basis of all magic in the world. Zentopia and many major religions worldwide searched for centuries to find the source of the One Magic. My dream is to achieve One Magic to make this world a better place, in order to do that, I must collect all the rare Celestial Spirit keys as possible." Ann explained to me excited at the idea of achieving the One Magic.
"Man you already have plans for your life this young," I said to Anna commenting on her maturity levels at her age.
"That's because I deeply care about trying to help the world, besides I want to also meet all the Celestial spirits and have them as friends and one day even meet the King of Celestial Spirits. Wouldn't that be awesome!" Anna stated.
"Can we see one of the Celestial Spirits?" Yamu asked interested in seeing one.
"Sure thing. I call thy from the Celestial World, summon thy gate, Plue." Ana chanted as she summons the Celestial Spirit Plue, a cute but harmless summoning that was popular amongst young girls.
"It's so cute!" I shouted as I go and hug it while Linda also hugs it.
"Come on, don't you got any cool Celestial spirits that shoot fireballs?" Yamu whined.
"I only have one spirit for combat, my mother told me not to use it unless it's absolutely necessary and I never even used the key before so I have no idea what kind of power it wields," Anna explained to them.
"Well, that's lame. I was hoping to see some spirit that shoots fireballs." Yamu whined.
"Guys I heard footsteps," Erenjack said to us as they see a random Dragon appear. The Dragon is around the same height and size as Ingeel but more muscular and has black scales with a blue underbelly.
"It's just a Dragon, don't you have millions like him here?" Anna asked.
"I've seen all the dragons here, this doesn't look like any I've ever seen and it has an aura that has killing intent," I answered as my body froze with fear.
"Plus he's not talking to us. Dad told me that the difference between Ally Dragons and Dark Dragons is that Dark Dragon is that Dark Dragons don't talk to humans that they view worthy of a challenge and only view as prey." Erenjack explained to Anna as they see the Dragon come towards them.
"RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!" I shouted as they run from the dragon.
Yamu, Rio, Linda, and Sai ran one way while me, Erenjack and Anna ran the other way, hoping to try to get him as far away as possible and close to the castle, besides he can't chase all of us at once. However, we soon found ourselves in a dead end within an alley as the Dragon comes close to them.
"This isn't good, we're going to die! There's nothing we can do!" Erenjack said to the two of us as he cowers in fear, despite being trained in magic, he knew very well that magic can't hurt a dragon.
"We can do something, fight! Make a hammer for me Eren." I replied.
"We can't take on a Dragon, we're just kids!" Erenjack whined noting we stood no chance.
"If we don't fight back, we're going to be Dragon Food. I just need a hammer to hit the dragon in the eye so we can stun it long enough to get away," I replied stating that despite the strength of a Dragon, they're eyes are not protected from damage.
"Metal Make Hammer!" Erenjack chanted as he makes a Hammer for me and I leaped into the air attempting to at least push the dragon back a bit so we can escape.
"Enchantment Arms" I shouted as I hit the Dragon but much to my surprise, even the eyeballs of a dragon are harder than steel as my hammer broke into pieces attempting to hit it. In response, the Dragon flicked into a wall with one finger, my body felt like it was hit by a rolling boulder with the force I was hit with, hat not for Enchantment Magic, I wouldn't be here to tell the tale.
"IRENE!" Erenjack shouted as he goes to check up on me.
"I'm…Fine! Good thing I used Enchantment Armor last second or I would've been a goner."I explained to Erenjack "What do we do now? He has us trapped!" Erenjack stated freaking out as his life seemed to be coming to an end only for Anna to step up with her golden key in her hand.
"What do we do now? He has us trapped!" Erenjack stated freaking out as his life seemed to be coming to an end only for Anna to step up with her golden key in her hand.
"This is the key my mother said would bring me protection and good luck. Open Gate of the Water Bearer Aquarius." Anna chanted as she summons Aquarius from a pool of mud, as expected Aquarius is not happy with it, to say the least.
"YOU LITTLE SHIT! DID YOU SUMMON ME THROUGH FUCKING MUD? THE FIRST TIME YOU USED ME AND IT'S WHEN IM IN THE MIDDLE OF A FUCKING DATE WITH SCORPIO!" Aquarius shouted not too happy about being covered in mud.
"Who is that and why does she remind me of my mother?" I asked myself terrified at Aquarius. Yeah when my mother gets angry, she's pretty much like this.
"She's scary!" Erenjack said to Anna shivering in fear.
"We got a big scary Dragon, can you save us?" Anna asked Aquarius politely shivering in fear of both her and the dragon.
"Fuck no, a Dragon is too much for me, however, I can get you brats out of here and make the Dragon retreat, just brace for impact," Aquarius replied as she blasts the dragon with water from her jar, despite not being able to hurt a Dragon, the Celestial Spirit had enough knockback and power to at the very least knock him back a bit while also almost drowning us.
"You didn't need to try to drown us too,"Anna shouted not happy about being almost killed by her own summoning.
"Consider that payback for summoning me in the fucking mud…Summon me again in the fucking mud and no Dragon alive would compare to the wrath I'll do to you kids. " Aquarius shouted as she disappears leaving a trial of flood damage and water everywhere. We were carried out to the edge of the alleyway by the tidal wave while the Dragon was sent flying away from us.
"Whoa, that's one scary woman! Kinda reminds me a bit of mom." Erenjack said to us drenched in mud and water.
"Same,"I replied with a sigh of relief, though I was also thinking about how pissed my mother will be when not only she learned that we broke out of the castle but I ruined my dress with mud.
"Mother didn't tell me that her good luck charm was a bit of a psychopath. Anyways we need to go."Anna said to the two of them as they run out of the alley and into a nearby park.
"Man Anna, that was some magic. You're even stronger than me." I said to Anna.
"No, it was merely a fluke. It's the first time I've actually used that in combat…I feel so weak." Anna replied as she fell down from magic exhaustion.
"ANNA!" I shouted as I rush to her aid.
"That spell must've taken all my magical power, I can't walk,"Anna said to me.
"Then allow me to be your legs then," I replied as I carried Anna on my back.
However, we then were surrounded by 20 C Class Dragons who all look the same as the Dark Dragon we escaped from.
"No this can't be happening," Erenjack shouted as look around them to see hungry Dragons.
"No this is it !" Anna shouted as she broke down into tears.
"How did so many Dragons appear here?" I asked wondering how so many dragons got past security.
The Dragons come towards us but Kajeel appears and smashes one's head off with a sledgehammer spilling gallons of blood everywhere. He then smashes two more coming towards me and Erenejack with his sledgehammer.
"You brats are in serious trouble for playing outside of curfew," Kajeel said to us as 5 Dragons appear to attack us but Jade appears with her keys in her hand.
"Gate of the Bear Cub Key+Gate of the Swan Key" Jade chanted as she summoned the spirits Polaris and Denbe to take out 5 Dragons on their own with Denbe shooting a massive Lightning bolt through 2 of the Dragons with the blast piercing straight through the Dragon Scales with the blast passing from one Dragon through their heart with another Dragon behind also hit by the Lightning bolt splattering blood everywhere.
3 more Dragons go to attack Jade but Polaris appeared and using its Mighty Bear strength manages to battle it with the Dragons and manages to use its full power to smash through the Dragon Scales and used its Paws to decapitate the Dragons leaving Jade notably exhausted.
8 of the C Class Dragons charge up there Dragon Roars and fire them at a weakened Jade but then a loud horn is played with Victor having summoned the Legendary Angel Raguel. The blowing of its horns completely stopped the Dragon Roars creating a loud sonic force field around himself and his wife and also paralyzed the Dragons long enough for him to cast one of his strongest Holy Spells.
"Uno Materia" Victor chanted as he blasted hundreds of holes through 8 Dragons killing them instantly and lands on the ground without the slightest bit of exhaustion. Being the Pope of Zentopia, he had the mastery of Angel Magic to the point he can use 10 coin summonings with little strain to his body and due to his pure and holy heart, doesn't suffer from drawbacks inexperienced Angel Magic users or wicked users of Angel Magic process.
"I thought you couldn't kill Dragons with Magic."Erenjack asked shocked to see humans able to kill Dragons.
"For the most part it's true but it's it's weak dragons against very strong humans," Kajeel replied as father appear and rip off his shirt.
"Enchantment Arms+Armor+Vernier" my dad chanted as he uses his enchantments to make himself so strong that he easily evades tail whips and Dragon slashes. My dad does 1,000 punches on the Dragon moving too fast for my young eyes to even comprehend as it just looks like my father's arms turned into a tornado before he lands the final blow punches the Dragons head off. He then sees one shooting a Dragon Roar towards me.
"OH NO!" I shouted as I struggle to move out of the way from the attack but too slow to evade the beam.
"Oh no, you don't! Three Layered Magic Circle: Mirror Water" Dad shouted as he did a series of superfast hand signs and summons Three Magical circles and reflects the blast back the Dragon blasting its head off with its own Dragon Roar. Another Dragon then attempted to attack him but he grabs it by its jaws and rips the Dragon in half with his raw strength.
"Whoa awesome, our parents are so strong."Erenjack said to his friends as he saw one Dragon comes towards Mom but my mother stops the dragon with her finger and slashes the Dragon in half with little visible effort.
"How foolish! A mere C rank Dragon against the Queen of Dragons, pitiful." My mother said dismissively to the now dead Dragon as she realizes all of them were clones of the original dragon that attacked their daughter has flown away.
"You saw that one?" My father asked my mother.
"That was one of our guards, Roemus. Now it makes sense. He was a spy sent by the Dark Dragon Tribe all along." My mother answered with a sense of dread. I was too young to comprehend what that meant or the impact it would have for the future.
Later on, after the incident, we were scolded by their parents for their reckless endangerment.
"You could've gotten yourselves killed wandering out on the streets at night." my mother shouted.
"You're lucky your cousin Rena told us everything about you two sneaking out to play outside," Dad said to me as Rena looks down in shame for snitching on the two.
"You rat! That was messed up…Thank you though Rena, had not for that, we would've been goners." I replied with a look of embarrassment as he hugged her with tears coming out of my eyes.
"You have utterly disgraced the Heartfilla Family name by playing with commoners, what were you thinking?" Victor said to Anna scolding her in a very harsh tone.
"Hey let it slide, she's just a child." My mother said to Victor.
"And you, what kind of queen allows her child to play with commoners?" Victor angrily shouted.
"One who loves her child and cares for her child and her people, perhaps Fiore should take notes on that and their society would be better off." My mother replied starting to lose her cool.
"Honey calm down…"My father stated trying to calm mom down.
"I knew Dragnov was a moral cesspit but to have a queen who lets commoners near their child is a low even for.." Victor ranted only for Mom to slap him in the face. She then turns into her revealing dress.
"What kind of insane perversion you are showing me?" Victor said shocked to see my mother dress in such a revealing dress.
"My true self, listen here I don't care what you think of me but don't you ever insult my child, my children's friends, and my people when you're barely around to hang out with your daughter. Unlike your puritanical society, Dragnov is a society that loves all people of all creeds and it's that love that makes us the greatest country in the world. I'll admit I committed a lot of sins but you know what, I'm fucking damn proud of it. If selling my soul is what is needed to create peace in the world, then I'll use every fiber of my being to maintain that…After all, isn't that what your Messiah would've done for the world?" My mother explained to Victor within her speech about his views. Victor looks at his child and noticed that she's miserable because he put faith over the family.
"You claim to be open-minded and progressive but you still cling to the views of the Puritanical Masses. Either you're a fool or a hypocrite…It matters not to me anyway, you have two choices. Either spend the rest of your life devoted to a god that might not even exist and risk your daughter going through even more dangerous habits isolating her from people who care for her or you start being a better father to your children and find time in their lives before they run away at age 16." Mom explained to Victor shocking him and everyone around him, this was the first time any ruler had spoke down to the leader of any religious organization, let alone Zentopia.
"I appreciate you speaking your mind honey but you realize what you did. By angering Fiore, you've risked the stake of war, something we're trying to avoid." My father said to his wife worried about the path to a new holy war she might've caused.
"I don't care, I'm not going to be lectured on parenting from someone who wears a stuffed shirt who's barely there for her own child. If Fiore wants a war because I hurt their feeling with my own different cultural views, let them try." My mother replied defiant to the point and not caring about the fact she might've nearly caused her peace alliance to fall apart.
"Queen Écarlate, I…Concede." Victor replied bowing his head down shocking everyone.
"Husband, this isn't like you," Jade said to her husband.
"She's right. Fiore has been stagnant in its ways because it refuses to evolve and take risks and I've not been a good father to my Anna, I've been too busy trying to appease the elders and Grand Cardinals that I've lost sight on what's important. From this point forward, I'm going to raise my daughter much better." Victor explained to my mother vowing to watch out for his daughter more.
"That's the spirit. I deeply apologize for slapping you, Pope." my mother stated.
"Just call me Victor, and I needed it. I can see why you became Queen of this country, I can't make any promises that the elders and Cardinals would change the laws ..I just need to ask you a question away from the kids." Victor said to my mother.
"Sure ask away." My mother replied as Victor and her walk away from us. I didn't catch what they were talking about but all I know for sure, my mother slapped him out of anger again, probably has something to do with the Bareback rumors.
Meanwhile, we were talking with each other about the close call we had.
"Man that was cool, you can summon spirits to fight for you?" I asked Anna.
"Yep, that's about right. My mother is the most powerful Celestial Wizzard in the world even though she retired from it and with my Father being pope, she states I have great potential." Anna explained to me only to see my mother grab me in her hug.
"IRENE!" Mother shouted as she hugs me towards her massive breast which I'm once again at the receiving end of her pillow hug of death.
"Can't breathe!" I shouted.
"Honey! You're overdoing it again!" my dad shouted as my face turned bluer than a blueberry.
"My I say you need to be a bit less clingy to your child? You might end up killing her before it's her own 18th birthday. Give her a bit of breathing room every once in a while." Victor explained to my mother.
"Thanks for the advice Victor." my mother replied with an embarrassed look on her face.
"Well that's a nice ending and all but I gotta get going," Erenjack said to them only to see Kajeel behind him.
"You're not getting off easy. You're going to get an ass whooping for what you did. I don't play that nice parent to despotic brats shit. " Kajeel said to his son as he takes out his belt which results in Erenjack running away in fear.
Today was the day that would go down as the start of my friendship with Anna Heartfilla. For over 14 years, Me and Anna had been on adventures with each other and grew closer than I even though, however, due to the cruel fate of this world, we drifted apart and both of us made history in our own way. Little did I know at the time, tragedy would soon strike. The Dark Dragon Tribe would soon emerge and when they do, the magic world would change forever and so would me.
To be continued.
(A/N: Yep, things are going to definitely change for the worse as expected considering the direction of Irene's life to what she would become later on. Yep, Yamu, Sal, Linda, and Rio are all the ancestors of the Phantom Lord Element Four and also close friends of Erenjack who is the biological father of Gajeel. Linda Lockser is quite obviously Juvia's ancestor down to her personality, Sal is the distant ancestor of Sol, Yamu is the distant Ancestor of Totomaru and Rio is the ancestor of Aria. They're mostly minor side characters with Linda being the exception but they will get their own chance to shine at some point. As for Lexiel, he's the ancestor of Laxus and Marakov as well as Yuri with the Deryar Clan being originally from Dragonv. It's done in reference to the fact Makrakov's name is Russian and the theme of Dragonv is a mixture of Russian and Norse mythology to an extent.
The Pope of Zentopia thing for Victor is to give some backstory into why the Heartfilla Family name and Clan was so popular. Given the Key to the Starry Sky Arc tied connections between Zentopia and the Celestial Wizards, I decided to make part of the Celestial Spirit Wizzard lore mix with the religion of Zentopia as well and yes Victor Heartfilla is meant to look similar to Jude Heartfilla, except that Jude is from a different family from the Heartfillas and married into the Heartfillas so to clear up, no I'm not going to imply incest within the family, especially since Lucy doesn't look inbred at all.
As you guess Zenotopia, much like canon is basically Fairy Tail's version of Christianity with Crocus Zentopians being the Roman Catholics of Fairy Tail and the Serenity Zentopians being the Protestants of Fairy Tail. As seen with the Christian themes of the Key to the Starry Sky Arc, the fact Fairy Tail celebrates Christmas in the omakes and the fact that Cana and Mirajane are apparent churchgoers. Temple of Zen is the Judaism of Fairy Tail with having similar themes and believes to that of Judaism down to holidays like Passover and Hakuahakan, the third major religion is the Church of Asherkhami, a loosely based Chruch based on the teachings of Islam with mixture of Greek and Roman Mythology and Early Zentopian ideology, that University Zeref is attending is ran by that religious group, let's just say when Zeref's curse happens, the ideology would go from worshipping Asherkham to worshipping Zeref and hell will break loose and they will become the familiar Dark Guild cults you're all familiar with. So yeah Irene and by extension, Erza would be considered Part Jewish given their Aunt Asuka married and converted to Zenithism while Irene's father and mother are by default Crocus Irene can celebrate the entire month of December and get two gifts for the price of one holiday.
As for Anna Heartfilla, she's going to be FAR better utilized than canon. Anna Heartfilla had so much potential of badassery in canon but in the end was little more but a Plot Device regarding the 400 year plan, not only is Anna going to kick far more ass than canon, she's going to be one of the few humans without Dragon Slayer powers capable of killing Dragons like her father if not much stronger. As for Anna's role in the future arcs, she would be much more low-key but still active and I intend to make a much better and cooler payoff for Anna in the long run when she inevitable faces off against Ancologia so spoilers, No Neo Eclipse bullshit of pushing Ancologia into a black hole, instead it's going to involve Anna and well her…Well, you get the picture as you read on but I'm guessing some of you already have a clue on what I have planned. Either way, expect Anna to live up to her status as the greatest Celestial Mage to exist.
As for Dragons, I'm kinda nerfing the Dragon's resistance to magical attacks by a sight amount. Dragons can still no sell most magic attacks but magical powers that are able to negate magic such as Curses, Anti Etheranto or Magical Particle Barriers can bypass the Dragon Scales and Any Slayer type Magic such as God or Devil Force can hurt Dragons, however they do only half the damage on Dragons as they would do on other beings with Dragon Slayer powers being the only true way to actually defeat or kill a Dragon.. As for normal Magic, Dragons have a resistance between 1000% against Magic attacks to 10000% depending on Dragons powers and rank.
The gap between Dragons and Humans still remain extremely wide. For example, most S-Class mages within Fairy Tail Pre-Skip would at best only match the power of the lowest class Dragon, D Class Dragons with them barely able to hurt even Civilian Class Dragons. To kill a C-Class Dragon without Dragon Slaying powers, you have to be at least as powerful as Mard Geer. To defeat a B Class Dragon with magic alone, you must be as powerful as Inveel, to defeat an A-Class Dragon with magic, you must be as strong as August and fighting an S-Class Dragon without Dragon Slaying powers is virtually impossible for any human not named Zeref. It should be also noted that for every one human who can fight against a Dragon, there are 10,000 dragons as powerful in an era prior to Dragon Slayer Magic.

And yes, I based the whole chase scene and rescue events on Bleach Ep 46 with Momo's flashback regarding Aizen saving her from the Hollows along with Renji and Izuru. Irene being the Momo of this case, Anna being the Izuru and Erenjack being the Renji of this scenario and Anna being the Izuru in this scenario. This was to establish the big time players within the Fan Fic as the most powerful humans within this timeline, something that would become apparent within the events of the series.
Believe me, the differences between humans and Dragons would become much more apparent once the Dragon War kicks off however next chapter would be more than enough to prove the difference in power because Next chapter is where shit goes down and Irene's journey really begins. Yep spoilers, this is going to be the last time you're going to see Irene's parents alive within this story. They will reappear in flashbacks but they would cease to exist next chapter.)
