Chapter 3: Welcome To Fiore, Silvia Estelle Mirai
Italics are thoughts
Silvia POV (Aliyah)
The white consumes me, blinding me so I close my eyes. I feel arms wrap around my body and two voices talking.
"Ah, here she is, Honey. Just like you said, it's a girl." I hear an older male voice says. I'm- I'm still alive? But how? I know for sure that I died on that bus. Ah, wait. That's right, Father sent my to Fairy Tail! I must have been reborn into Fairy Tail and not just sent there. I try to move my body to see if its true, and yep, I'm a baby alright.
"Oh, she's fussy. Edo, pass her to me." I hear an angelic female voice. I feel my body moved from one person to another, making me realize I became a baby. She starts to slowly rock my body and humming, the angelic voice starts singing.
"Lay down your head and I'll sing you a lullaby
Back to the years of Loo-li Lai-lay
And I'll sing you to sleep and I'll sing you tomorrow
Bless you with love for the road that you go
May you sail to the far fields of fortune
With diamonds and pearls at your head and your feet
And may you need never to banish misfortune
May you find kindness in all that you meet
May there always be angels to watch over you
To guide you each step of the way
To guard you and keep you safe from all harm
Loo-li, Loo-li, Lai-lay"
I remember that song. My first nice foster mom, she sang this to me after I was being bullied. It would always calm me down. I stopped shifting around and stare at the lady that held me in her arms. She a young looking lady with beads of sweat running down her face. She has long, fluffy white hair with a pinkish tint to them, bright golden eyes that seem to shine like the sun, and pale white skin that seem like freshly fallen snow.
"Your singing can calm the worst of beasts, of course it would calm our daughter. As I said before, you will be an excellent mother, Freya." the man that was holding me before. Like Freya, he has long, white hair but with a purple tint to it, dark purple eyes like amethyst, a slight tan on his skin, and he's dressed in traditional japanese attire.
"Of course, she is our daughter. She has my hair while she has your eyes. Well, a paler version of it. And I have the perfect name for her." Freya says as I yawned tiredly.
"Yes, Dearest?" Edo asks as he sits next to his beautiful wife. I can feel my eyes slowly shut while staring at their smiling faces.
"Silvia Estelle Mirai, our little silver star." Freya says as I fall asleep in her arms.
One Year Later...
I'm now a year old and it's my first birthday in this life. Sadly, I still haven't been able to walk yet, but I have been working on my words. Its hilarious to see my new parents just waiting for me to say it. At least my birthday is going pretty good, Mother given a toy piano while Father gave me a toy sword. One of the few arguments I hear is who I'm going to follow. Mother who is a famous singer and musician while Father is an all famous warrior who can use any weapons. Kinda like Erza from Fairy Tail, wow, I can't wait to see them. Mother use to be in the guild Blue Pegasus while Father was guildless. But with no doubt, I will be joining Fairy Tail and experiencing its terrifying power.
"Freya, as I said before, our daughter should be a warrior. She needs to be strong enough to protect herself and others, when she starts to venture into the world." Father, Edo, says as his words interrupted my thoughts.
"And as I said before, because she is our daughter, she should learn music. She's a girl, she doesn't need to be a warrior. Besides, I think she would prefer to be a musician than a warrior." Mother, Freya, argues back.
I don't like it when they argue, it's only going to hurt them in the future. Oh, I have an idea! I got up from seated position and try my hardest to stand up, using the table next to me. Mother and Father are far into their argument to notice me trying to stand. I stumble forward but caught myself and took my first step. Mother and Father wasn't too far, so I continue to walk to the fighting couple. After five steps, they notice I was strangely quiet and turn to look at me, and their eyes widen in shock. Both quickly kneeling down, telling me to come to them. Boi, I'm doing that already! I continue to slowly walk to them, and when I reached them, I grabbed both of their hands. What I did next shocked both of them, I yelled, "Bo!" They just stared at me in pure shock, then they both start smiling.
"She walked and said her first word, oh my gosh, I knew she was special!" Freya cheer as she hugs her little girl dearly, bringing me into her lap.
"Honey, she's smarter than we think, she is trying to tell us something. That we should both teach her, not fight." Edo says with a gentle smile, patting my head.
"I think so too, I mean, it's not everyday your one year old child tries to stop their arguing parents. I think we should listen to her. We both teach her and when she is old enough, she can pick for herself." Freya nods with a bright smile on her face.
Six Years Later…
It's been seven years since I have been reborn into Fairy Tail and I've learned a lot in that short amount of time. Both of them have been training me hard and by the time I was five, my wish for my magic came true. I was in the forest and I managed to get separated from my Father, when I started to be chased by a pack of wolves. Before they could tear me apart, a spell appeared in my mind.
"Bringer of Storms, Herald of Lightning,
Master of Thunder, Keeper of the Heavens
I summon you, Beast of Bolts,
So, Come to me, Raiden!" I yelled.
Lightning struck before me and there stood, Raiden, my protector. He quickly defeated them and thanks to the lightning, my Father found me and Raiden. At first, he thought Raiden was a threat until he started to protect me from my own Father. When they both calmed down, I explained the situation, Raiden left to rest in my mindspace. Apparently have a space place in my mind where everyone rest and waits to be summoned. Though, I really haven't been able to summon him again.
"Silvia, pay attention, your enemies will not let you off easy because you are daydreaming!" Father scolds as I barely block his attack.
"Sorry Father. I promise to focus, now let's continue." I said as I push him back with my wooden sword. We continue to dance around each, our wooden swords clashing with each other. Despite my age and my small stature, I was able to spar against him evenly. But then again, he could be intentionally weakening his attacks against me.
Before we could continue our spar, Mother calls out, "Alright you two, time to clean up! I expect you both to be clean by the time I finish dinner."
Yes, Ma'am!" Father and I say in unison. We look at each other and grin at each as both race inside, Father of course, beating me.
"No fair, you have longer legs than me. I wish I could summon willingly and not when I get in trouble." I pout like the seven year I am. My Father laughs heartily while patting my head, messing my whitish-blue hair. I narrow my light purple eyes and turn away as I pretend I was angry with him.
Come on, Sil, I promise to read your favorite story tonight. But only if you show me that beautiful smile of your." My Father kneeled down to my height, with a gentle smile on his face.
"Really! Okay!" I gasp and give him my biggest smile. He laughs again and leads me to the bathroom. I went ahead and took a quick bath, it is after all, my birthday. I'm sure my parents have presents and a birthday hidden away to give to me after dinner. Once I finished my bath, my Father took an even quicker shower. My outfit consists of a simple pink tee shirt, white shorts, and a couple purple hair pins holding back my long bluish- white hair. We sat at the table where my Mother made my favorite, grilled boar with sweet corn and mashed potatoes. I ate quickly, my parents laughing at my childness. When we finished, my Mother brought out the cake while my Father grabbed the presents. Mother made a strawberry cake with mixed berry icing. And for the presents, I got a violin from Mother and a small, purple samurai sword from Father. I hugged both of them for the presents and went to my room to practice both until I had a good understanding of them. By the time I know the basics of them, it was already dark outside. But for some reason, I felt uneasy, like there was someone watching me. I tighten my grip on my sword, and glance out the window in my room. I froze as I stare at a lone figure standing at the edge of the forest, not far from my home. With the full moon shining down on the forest, I can get a good idea he was the one watching me.
Suddenly, like he is Slenderman himself, he teleports in front of me. He shocked me so badly, he was able to get the upper hand. He restraints my body quickly, disarming me and silencing me with his hand. But he was underestimating me, I quickly let off my bloodlust, which would wake both of my parents and scare him. And I was right, he immediately jumped away from me and readied his own weapon.
"You got spunk kid, but I'm still taking you with me." the kidnapper sneered at me. I jumped away from him, grabbing my sword he threw. Before either of us could attack, my Father burst into my room in his pjs but sword in hand.
"You would have to get past me first. Leave, while you still have your life." my Father growls at the man. The man grins as if my Father said something that pleased him, and did a weird movement with his hand. I tense, having a feeling that it was some sort of signal, and I was right. The ceiling to my room, caught ablaze and I was able to see the man's face more clearing. His face is all scarred up, bloodshot dark blue eyes, and locks of blood red hair. The outfit looks like it came out of Assassin's Creed but black, of course. I could see he was equipped with tons of weapons, I swear he was a walking armory. No what was really creepy was his toothy grin, it was like it one of Hisoka's grins in HunterXHunter. A manic's grin who is having the time of his life, watching as mine and my Father's emotions change from anger, fear, and the fire of courage.
"Ahhh!" We hear Mother scream out in terror. Father turns and I look behind him, seeing Mother being pinned down by what would guess, the stranger's companion.
"Freya!"
"Mother!" We yell at in unison, but dropping our guard on the stranger. Seeing his chance, he grabs me from behind and teleports us away from my home. I try my to kick him and hit him with my sword, but all futile as he chain me up with some shackles he had on him. As he was chaining me up, I drop my katana in my requip storage. He puts shackles on my wrists and ankles, all linked together.
"Try to escape, and you'll end up a little...worse than they want you." He grins demonically, shoving my onto a caged wagon. He walks away laughing like the manic he is. I look through the bars and the stranger join the group of other men, a total of ten men. I scowl at them and try pour magic into my body, strengthening it. Sadly, no luck. They apparently magic resist, for kidnapper, they're smart.
I try to drop the shackles into my requip but, of course, I'm unable. I guess I can't pull an 'Erza'. I scoff at the shackles and how high grade equipment. But now that I think about it, I do have quite a few picks in my requip. It's a good thing I got Father to teach me requip, though it is about the size of a medium size closet. I take several picks from my requip and start tinkering away. Huh, I guess having one of the fellow orphans teach me wasn't a bad thing after all. But sadly, I never practiced in this body so butterfingers. After a few minutes, I release myself from the wrist shackles, all that is left is the ones on my ankles. Being much easier this time around, it only took less than a minute. Hmm, I guess these would come in handy in the future. I put them my requip and look at the doors. Tch, they're locked on the outside, maybe I could use my magic now? I take a half a step back, and got into a fighting stance. I close my eyes and focus on my magic. Imagine it flowing into my right hand, building up power. My eyes flash open and I punch dead center of the door. The door flies away from the wagon, the door bowed inward with the imprint of my fist at the center of the crater.
"Alright!" I grin broadly, punching my open fist with the power up. "Oww." I tear up from the pain in my hand, waving it around. But I was careless, I ignored my surroundings, something that my Father would kill me for. And I forgot the men gathered not that far away from me.
? POV
Hmm, I hear something ahead of me, perhaps it's a wild boar. I grin and sneak forward quietly, trying to find this boar. But instead of finding of a boar, I find a black clothed man struggle to chain up a girl that appears to be around my age. Wha, I got to do something! I feel a familiar hand on my shoulder, I rapidly turn my head and see Gramps behind me.
"Laxus, what are you doing?" Gramps asks me in confusion and raise an eyebrow.
"Gramps, look! That man is doing something to that girl! We got to do something, we gotta save her!" I whisper yell at Gramps. He looks at the man throwing the girl into the caged wagon, locking the door to it, and walk away laughing. We spot him walk to a group of nine other men.
"I agree, Laxus. Let's show them what Fairy Tail spirit can do!" Gramps smiles. I smile and charge at the men, gathering my magic into my mouth.
"Lightning Dragon's Roar!" I yell, blasting away four of the men. Gramps follow from behind, using his Titan magic to make his fist huge and swiping away five of the other men. He would have gotten the other if he didn't teleport away from the attacks. The man teleports behinds, drawing dual swords and try to attack me from behind. Gramps blocks the attack with his own, disarming the man and shaking a few off of him.
He scoffs at us and mutters, "This is too much trouble for one pesky girl." He jump backwards and teleports away. Hm, coward.
"Come on, Laxus. Let's check on the girl." He says as he walks to the wagon. Suddenly, we feel a large amount of magic from inside the wagon.
"Gramps, is that from her?"I gulp as the large magic pressure weighs down on me.
"Hmm, it seems like it. I wonder if they know her true power. Be careful Laxus, she might not know we aren't enemies." Gramps tells me while patting my head, easing the pressure. So we approach the wagon carefully when the door just flies off with a small fist imprint in the middle of the door.
"Wah!" I yelled as I fall down onto my butt. Even Gramps was shocked at the flying door, it went so far. Just who is this girl and how much magic does she have?
Silvia POV
Not far from the wagon, I sense two mana signatures. One of them is a young boy around my age and the other is of older age but much more powerful than me. If I tried fighting him, he could kill me with ease. I tense as I feel the larger mana source approaching the wagon, where the door used to be. But instead of being one of her kidnappers, it was a small elderly man with a broad smile and a two prong hat. Short gray hair, gray moustache, closed orange jacket, orange shorts, and curly toe boots. Who is he? And why does he look so familiar?
"Well, what a strong young lady you are. Are you okay?" the old man asked me, catching me off guard.
"Umm, yeah. I'm okay, but can I ask you something?" I asked as jump out of the wagon and get a closer look at him and the other person with him. And I was right, it was a young boy with short blonde hair, a red shirt with a lightning bolt, black shorts, and red and white tennis shoes. Wait a minute, of course! The old man is Makarov Dreyar, Master of Fairy Tail and the boy must be Laxus, grandson of Makarov and son of Ivan Dreyar. I guess this is one stroke of luck I have.
"Hmm, you can but I can't promise I will have the answer." Makarov nods towards me.
"Ok, have you two seen any signs that there is a large fire nearby?" I ask them, gripping the end of my shirt while glaring at the ground. I could feel Makarov approach me and put his hand on my shoulder.
"I'm sorry girl, but I can't say that we have. But can you explain why would you need to ask such a question?" Makarov asks me with a frown. I tense up a bit and explained everything that from me feeling watched in my room to me meeting both of them. Makarov made a grim looking face while Laxus looked shocked at the series of events. "I am so sorry that has happened to you and your family. I wish we could have helped you but I'm afraid we don't even know where you lived." Makarov sigh as he sits down and rubs his moustache.
"There is no need to apologize, it's not your fault. Only the ones that need to apologize are the ones who attacked. I just wish I was able to do something to help." I say in shame.
"Hmm, how about this? You join my guild, I'm sure my guild and I would love to help you!" Makarov smile broadly.
I look at them in shock, I took in their words. Finally, my dream is coming true! Even if this was not the way I wanted to meet them, and I have no way of finding my parents. I'll make the most of it, and I'm sure the entire guild would help me too.
"Um, before I make a decision, might I ask who you two are?" I pretend to be wary of them.
"Oh, I'm sorry about that, I'm Makarov Dreyar, Master of Fairy Tail. And I would be honored to have you join my guild" Makarov laughs.
"Yeah, with that much power, we could make a great team. I'm Laxus Dreyar, and I'm his grandson. I'm ten and I use Lightning Dragon Slayer magic. I hope you can join us!" Laxus smiles with his eyes sparkle with excitement.
"Well, thank you for helping me and inviting me to your guild. I would be honored to join your guild!" I smile at them.
"Yahoo! This is awesome, a new member! Ah, what's your name?" Laxus asked after jumping with joy.
"Oh, I'm Silvia Estelle Mirai, Daughter of Freya Ashlynn and Edo Ryoma Mirai. I'm the user of the rare Lost Magic, Elemental Summoner and I am fortunate to already have one summon but need more practice in summoning him. Thank you for allowing me to join you guild." I bow proper like while introducing myself.
When I straighten back up, they both smile and say in unison, "Welcome, Silvia Mirai! We will be happy to have you!"
