Chapter 2: Life's Library, The Domain of God

Aliyah's POV

(Italics are thoughts)

I opened my eyes to see a bright, white ceiling to an endless hallway with walls covered in bookshelves. "But I was pretty sure I was dead, so how am I here?" I ask myself.

" Hello, Aliyah Elden. Welcome to Life's Library" a male voice echoed throughout the hall. I turned my head to see a strange man on a large writing desk, flipping through a large book. The man was familiar looking, a person from a distant memory from too long ago. I couldn't tell his height due to him sitting down but his other features were well attire consists of a black leather long coat with a hood, a white turtleneck, black formal pants, and black leather dress shoes. His long black hair that reached to the middle of his back and pushed to the back. His deep sapphire eyes glowed as he stares at worn pages of the book. A warm golden tan that almost shined under the light of the hall.

"Life's Library? Who are you? And how do you know me?" I ask the stranger.

"You are in the Life's Library, the place that holds everyone's stories. All those stories that have ended come over to make a choice. And you will make yours soon, but I must ask. The life you lived before coming here, do you believe it was a good life?" the stranger asks me as he glanced away from book and looks towards me.

"M-my life before here? Yes, I do believe so, but I also wish I could have done more. I'm happy I saved Keith's life but I wish to save more lives." I state as clench my fists.

"I see, then I know what to do. Aliyah Elden, you have been given the chance to be reborn into a life, and if you like a new world. Be sure to choose wisely." the man grins as he steps away from the writing desk.

"A new life! Does that mean I can have actual loving family. A family that will love and care for me and won't abandon me!" I hope with great joy.

"That is something I can do, is there anything else I can do?" the man asks me. Then a single image flashed through my mind, the large and ever loving family of Fairy Tail.

"I've made my choice! I wish to enter the world of Fairy Tail! I wish to have a loving family and join the amazing guild of Fairy Tail! I wish to live a happy life and fall in love, so can keep the memories of Aliyah Elden so I may never take my life for granted!" I yell in confidence.

"That is some good wishes, I like your confidence as well. Very well, what shall be your magic?" the man asks me with a proud smile.

"I want something different, something that will fit in the Fairy Tail world. Then I shall combine my two favorite things, elements and animals. I'll have one animal represents one element, will that work or will that be too much?" I ask the mysterious man.

"Depends on what you have in mind, care to explain?" the man presses forward as he grabs a small notepad and a pen.

"Well, for the element of wind, I'll have a wolf. Her name will be Tempest, her fur will be warm gray, her eyes sky blue, and in her fur will be feathers that will help her fly easily through the air.

For the element of fire, I'll have a cat. Her name will be Fira, and her fur will be white with a golden diamond on her chest, her eyes will be fire red with gold specks, and fire on the top of her head and tail. The fire on her will bring warmth to those who I call family or dear friends.

For the element of water, I'll have a swan. Her name will be Marina, a swan made of water. Able to change her form at will, and to control the water around her. Her eyes are a deep sea blue eyes and her feathers a light shade of blue.

For the element of earth, I'll make it a bear. His name will be Pjotr. His body is made of everything beneath the earth. His underbelly is made of lava, jewels growing from its legs, armor of various metals on its back and upper legs, golden veins with hints of silver under his ember eyes. With his body, he can control the very earth he stands on.

For darkness, he shall be a fox. His name will be Abyss. He will be a tricky fellow with body completely made out of shadows and darkness. His eyes are a maroon red with specks of purple. But he is not evil, just a bit mischievous. With his body, he is able to travel through the shadows themselves.

For light, I'll pick a deer. His name is Lux and he's the embodiment of light itself. With the of a fawn, he has white fur with blue markings on his ears, the tip of his tail, and on the top of his legs. His hooves a deep blue and his eyes are emeralds. He wears a necklace similar to a collar with a sapphire at its center and four emeralds. And he has antlers made out of light with an orb floating above him.

For the mind, I'll make it a snake. Her name will be Athena and body will be the shape of a cobra. His body will be about seven feet long and his scales will be shades of purple, dark on the spine and lighter on the belly. On his head will a medium sized marble shaped red gem on his head and smaller one evenly spaced out align his spine. His eyes are a bright golden like the burning sun.

Then there is plants, for that he shall be a horse. He will be of the clydesdale breed but leaves and flowers will be growing in his mane and tail. The plants themselves will have healing properties. The plants appear vibrant on his oak brown fur and his deep purple eyes. Root showing themselves on his legs back never going past his hooves.

Next will be ice, and i pick the ferret. Her name will be Iclyn and of course on the smaller size. Her fur will be light blue, lower legs being ocean blue, and ice on her upper part of her legs and ten ice crystals floating around the tip of her tail. Her eyes are glacier blue and an icy mist coming from the top of her head and around her neck. Like Abyss, she is a bit mischievous and playful.

And last but not least, my favorite animal with my favorite element. Lightning and the cheetah. His name will be Raiden and he will be my first summon. He's a lot like a normal cheetah but he will have storm clouds coming from his neck, a golden jolt on his cheek and in the middle of each leg. On the two front legs, is a small bolt on his ankles and electric yellow eyes with specks with silver.

These will be my summons, my friends, my family. Like Lucy's spirits, they can make themselves appear out of their own power and when I'm strong enough, I will be able to summon them all. Will this be okay with you?" I ask after listing off my magic ability and all the while he is sketching them out.

"Hmm, yes they will be fine. Yes, they will be a lot like Lucy's summons but you will have a special chant to summon them the first time, whether you are in danger or as your generation says 'level up', a new summon shall come to you. Now that is done, let's send you on your way." He says as he stores the sketch in a random book off the shelves. He steps away from the shelves to the front of the desk and a door justs appears before me. I walk towards the door but pause on the last, turning to face him.

"You never answered my question from before." I smile at the man.

"Hmm? And what was that question?" He asks, putting his hand on his chin.

"Who are you?" I repeat.

"Ah, well, I'm what you wish for me to be." The man answers vaguely.

I turn back to the door and as I take that last through the door, I whisper, "Thanks for everything, Dad" And my body is consumed in light.

"Thank you for that" the man says as another person approach from behind.

"Of course, anything for one of my children. But Fredrick, are you sure about not telling her who you are? That was the last time you would ever see her." the person frowns at the man's vagueness towards Aliyah Elden.

"I know, but she doesn't need more questions, just to send my daughter off on her next adventure. She's going to have a much better life that will be filled with love, family, and friends. All I hope for that her next father doesn't make the same mistakes as me. Well I best be off, I am the Keeper of the Life's Library." the man who was Aliyah's Father walk back to the writing desk. The person smiles and walks away, down the endless hall of stories.

"As do I, Fredrick Elden, as do I." The person whispers before fading away.
