The Last Fairy - Prologue
It's different when you are the last of your kind. It hurts more than being stabbed by a sword multiple times. Especially if your kind isn't supposed to be able to die in the first place. Fairies lived their lives, even before the era of X300. They were one of the first species on all of Earthland - along with the demons, dragons, celestial spirits, and other worldly beings.
However, time came to pass, and through certain unknown events, all the Fairies died out. The first Fairy became the last. The grieving Fairy leader learned to disguise herself among the humans. It became easier through the found existence of Slimming Mushrooms (which have the consequence of growing a mushroom on your head, if you consume one). The life the Fairy lived was lonely. She had her friends. She had her family. She had gained many enemies. Although, there was only one who she considered a major threat to everything.
Those horrid monsters who worked together to destroy the Fairy race, and succeeded. They destroyed everyone. Her family. Her heart. Her soul. But not her.
Even casting her strongest spell; 'Urano Metria' wasn't enough to stop those... those monsters.
All through her lives, there was one place she could go. Every few lives, she would go to that place. In there, she could be in her true form. In there, she didn't have to hide who she was. To the village in the mist, she was a guardian to everyone. They praise their guardian like a goddess, but also as a fellow person. In exchange for her protection every century or so, she gets happy memories with the village.
Throughout the Fairy's lives she has lived, she had learned all the skills she could, mastering it all; practicing her unique magic, helping others with repairing items, and other handy skills that she may use in the near future. She has tried many jobs, like helping a sailor with handling his fish or keeping kids entertained in orphanages with her magic. She did well in all of those jobs, except, it was not what she was satisfied with. She didn't feel free. So, she stuck to the island for a couple more centuries, continuing to learn much more. It was when these wizards came into her life when she knew what she wanted to do.
Become a reliable wizard and join a magic guild. Making friends, doing jobs with a team, and accomplishing things beyond her imagination.
That was her dream.
At one point, she had given up hope, and she had barely met any wizards where their strength can be on par with hers. She loved doing it, but knew no one was crazy enough to join her again, knowing in Earthland it considers you to be a villain of some sorts. But she was scared out of her wits by the thought of being caught and being caught by Rune Knights and brought to the Magic Council. Everyone was confused by her explanation. Everyone but the Fairy. Unknown to her, she gave a powerful, and wealthy man hope, by completing his tasks, but she didn't know.
She even joined him years ago. At first, the man wanted her to be the 'special weapon' of his army, but the Fairy didn't allow it. Years later, they gathered a group of strong men, but they were not wizards...they were researchers, experimenting her power, though she found it fun. Completing tasks of the unknown, and working with them.
The man went by the name of Jude Heartfilia...
The guardian Fairy was a secret to the world other than the little village in the forest. Even the rare visitors they have don't know of her.
They traveled to countries all over Earthland, with their goal, to settle down somewhere and work together to accomplish things. Where they made their new home in a country called Fiore. They were a small group, consisting of only very few beings, and once the Fairy returned to the village in her forest, she decided to end her journey with them. Though she had accomplished much, she wasn't ready to leave her homeland for much time.
It was around the year X784, years after, when her life changed for the greater. Where she felt at home. It started quite coincidentally, by meeting a boy who wields fire.
"But yet, it was destiny... like a Fairytale..."
