The year is X376 and a young black haired boy by the name of Marcus can be seen running through grass trying to find his dad as he wanted to show him something. As he came to a lake he saw that his dad was resting up on high ledge overseeing the land. The boy than ran around the lake and up to the top of the ledge where his dad was.

Marcus: *panting from the running* I-I'm here what did you want to show me? Marcus asked while catching his breath.

Alduin: I wanted to teach you a spell as my final lesson to you.

Marcus: Huh? What do you mean final lesson?

Alduin: Well after this I'll have no more to teach you as I have taught you everything there is to know.

Marcus: So what's the spell?

Alduin: It's a space dragon secret art.

Marcus: But you've already taught me some of those.

Alduin: Well this one is different. This one should only be used in desperate situations. When you find that you have no other way out and none of your other spells work than that would be the time to use this spell. However this spell is extremely dangerous. For a normal person if they even attempted it they would die immediately. However for you since you are a dragon slayer things will go differently but it is still a dangerous spell.

Marcus: What's so dangerous about this spell?

Alduin: I've taught you time magic. I've taught you space magic. This spell combines both in exchange for some of your life force to replenish the lost time magic.

Marcus: Huh? Was would it take some of my life force to replace the lost time magic? Wouldn't the magic replenish on its own?

Alduin: For other magic spells yes. The magic would replenish on its own. However this spell is different. And because of that case you can only use this spell a certain amount of times.

Marcus: How many?

Alduin: In truth I have no clue. I've only used it once myself and I can still use it again. The person that taught it to me was non other than your mother when we first met and asked me to take care of you.

Marcus: M-my mother? I thought you were my only family?

Alduin: Hah! No You had a mother and a father. You may not remember them because they disappeared before you were even a 1 year old. I do not know if you father is still alive but I do believe that your mother is still alive.

Marcus: What makes you say that?

Alduin: Well when your mother taught me that spell I realized that I could sense her Reiatsu or in other words her spiritual pressure no matter how far away she is. Even now I can sense it but it is very faint. Which could mean that she is extremely far away maybe on another world. There is one other reason but I won't worry you with that.

Marcus: So how does the spell work and how do I cast it?

Alduin: The spell is a life and death manipulation spell. You will be able to sense, create, shape, and manipulate the very essence of life and death by either giving or taking. The way it takes some of your life force is if you give life to those who have already died, the spell will take some of your life and put it into the previously dead ones. However you can also extend your life by taking the life of others like your enemies.

Marcus: How do I cast it?

Alduin: I will show you how to cast it but I won't cast it myself.

Alduin then changed into his human form.

First what you'll do is you will preform four hand signs. Alduin then preformed the hand signs and had Marcus copy him.

Next you will shout Dragon Slayer Secret Art: Life and Death Manipulation. Once you do that you and only you will see a Shinigami. If you want it to take the lives of your enemies just point to them and say "take their life". If you want it to give life to the ones who have died. Point to them and the Shinigami will reach inside of you and take some of your life and give it to the dead. If there is few dead the Shinigami will not take a lot of your life. But if there is a lot dead that you want revived than the Shinigami will take a lot of your life.

Marcus: What do you mean?

Alduin: For example if there are two dead that you want revived the Shinigami will take two years of your life. However if there is 10 dead the Shinigami will take 10 years of your life. You must remember this spell and only use it in the most desperate of times.

Marcus: Why would my mom have such a spell?

Alduin: That is one question that you will have to find out for yourself. Todays lesson is over. Go back to the cave and rest up for it is beginning to get dark and I'll will meet you there.

Marcus: Ok.

Marcus went back to the cave while Alduin stayed behind for a little while longer.

Alduin: *sigh* Anna why must you give us the task of raising these kids if we are just going to seal ourselves inside of them. What is the purpose of sending these children to the year X777? I have so many questions I want to ask you but you ended up dying before I got the chance. Marcus I hope you reunite with the others when you get to the future thanks to Anna and Zeref's machine. I'll always be watching over you even if you can't see or feel me.

Time skip to the next morning… year 777

Marcus had woken up the next morning expecting to find his father right next to him only to find that he was nowhere to be found. He then realized that he was in a completely different location then from where he was when he fell asleep.

He noticed that he was on the outskirts of a city called Hargeon. He decided to head to the city and see what he could find and maybe that his dad was somewhere in the city. After hours of searching and asking what seemed like everyone in the city he realized that he was on his own and that his father had abandoned him.

1 Year Later… the year is now 778

It had been a year since the realization that Marcus had lost his father. He had decided that he was going to stay in the city when he first got there. As Marcus wandered around the city to see if he could find anything new although he highly doubted it. He did indeed come across something that he had never seen before. It was a large building with the words FAIRY TAIL on it. He decided that he was going to go inside and see what this 'Fairy Tail' was all about.

As soon as he walked into the building after opening the massive doors he was immediately met with a chair being thrown in his direction.

Using his dragon like instincts he was able to dodge the chair before it hit him.

Random boy 1: Hey you what are you just standing around for come and help me beat up this perverted popsicle.

Random boy 2: The hell you call me pyro

Marcus was about to walk out when he bumped into a little redhead girl wearing some armor and a small old man who was almost bald.

Old man: Are you to join our guild?

Uhh guild?

Armor girl: Yes that's what this place is. It's the Fairy Tail guild. The strongest in all of Fiore.

Marcus: If it has a place to sleep, some food, water, and a way to make money the yes I'll join you for a while.

Armor girl: A while? Why not just join permanently?

Marcus: I'm on a quest.

Old man: What's the quest young man?

Marcus: My dad left me about a year ago and even though it seems hopeless I still want to try and find him. I have some questions for him regarding my past and why he taught me dragon slayer magic if he was just going to leave me in the end.

Armor girl: Your story reminds me of a hot blooded idiot I know.

Old man: Yes. Natsu. He is also a dragon slayer I'm sure you two will get along well. So if you join how long will you stay? Because as soon as you join I consider you as one of my children. Even if you only stay for a little while you'll still be my child.

Marcus: Your not my dad.

Old man: Hah! Yes I know that young one but I try to be as a father figure to all those in this guild. Some joined because they had nowhere to turn. Some joined for the money. Some joined because they wanted to be apart of a family. Whatever your reason is for joining I'll always see you as one of my children.

Marcus: Ok old man. I'll join you until I find my father and as soon as I find him and ask him my questions I'm gone.

Old man: That's fair but have you considered joining not just for finding your father but also for finding secrets about your past on your own?

Marcus: N-no I haven't.

Old man: Well then how about you join to find your father and learn about your past and whatever untold secrets about your family.

Marcus: I-

Random boy 1: Hey gramps whose this guy? Is he joining the guild?

The old man known as gramps then looked at Marcus for confirmation.

Marcus: Yes. I'm joining.

Natsu: Whahooo!!! Hey Mira we need that stamp we have a new member!

Mira: Shut up Natsu!! You don't give the orders around here!! You especially don't order ME around.

Erza: Just do what he says Mira.

Mira: Shut up you bimboo Erza!

Erza: The hell you call me!?

Erza and Mira then started fighting each other which caused a massive full on guild fight

Marcus: Umm is this normal?

Old man: *chuckling* yes it's quite normal and I hope that you will grow to love this place just as much as I do.

Marcus: Whatever you say old man.

Old man: I never did ask but what is your magic. I know that your a dragon slayer like Natsu but he's a fire dragon slayer. What type of slayer are you?

Marcus: I can use space and time magic.

Old man: You don't say. Now tell me where would you like your gild mark and what color? The old man asked while holding a stamper

Marcus: Let's do black and on my right forearm.

Old man: All right then. The old man then placed the stamper on Marcus' forearm. Once he lifted it up Marcus and the old man saw the black fairy tail guild mark on his forearm.

Old man: Welcome to fairy tail. Attention everyone we have a new member so let's celebrate like we always do!

Everyone: Yeah!!
