Fairy Tail

Soler dressed quickly afraid the girl in the room would wake at any second. Once he was dressed he took a quick look at the clothing to see it was just a white T-Shirt, green cargo pants, and black sneakers. Nothing too special to other but the fact he had on fresh clothes meant the world to him. He also had to agree he did look healthier than before, his skin way more fleshed out and color. Plus he felt better and stronger too though he his hunger was still the same as normal. Lastly, he examined his hair and for the first time in a long time could see the blue highlights mixed in with his white. It was also more kept meaning that someone had washed his hair while he slept which he had no complaints about. All in all, he looked like someone he didn't even know and he was happy for it.

With getting dressed out the way the bigger task of waking up Erza was before him. Master Makarov already left leaving waking her to him. He did want to wake her so he could thank her but not having dealt people in this way he didn't know how to approach the situation. He slowly got closer to her his heart beating fast him afraid of how this was going to work and how she was going to react. He reached his hand out to wake her but right before he could touch her Erza eyes shot open making the boy yelp and fall back from her.

Erza sat up from her resting position and stretched waking up her muscles from a night's rest. Once she was done she noticed the scared boy on the floor before her and her eyes widened and a smile spread across her face,

"You're awake! This is great! I'm so glad it worked, I'm so glad you're ok. I-" Erza stopped her rambling when she noticed the boy was still trembling. She chuckled nervously,

"I'm sorry everything must be new to you. I shouldn't have been so loud but I really am glad you're ok. Now, how about we start over. My name is Erza Scarlet nice to meet you." she held out a hand to Soler while holding a pretty smile. There were a few moments where nothing happened. Soler was still fearful but as he looked at her soft smile his fear melted away and the feeling in his heart came back again. He pushed away the feelings and grabbed her hand and wasn't surprised to see she had a strong grip. Erza proceeded to help him,

"Good, now that you're up we can get going and introduce you to the others. Wait I don't even know your name. How foolish of me, tell me what is your name?" she asked. Soler as timid as he was didn't reply right away but her waiting face forced him to push out of his timidness to answer her,

"I-Its Soler." he said quietly. Erza got closer to him making him blush some,

"I'm sorry I couldn't hear you." Soler's heart was racing plus with the added blush he was a mix of unknown emotions.

"Soler my name is Soler." he repeated louder. Having heard him Erza back away with a broad smile,

"Soler, what I fine name. Now Soler lets go and meet the others and get some food. I'm sure you must be hungry." Erza didn't even wait for a reply but instead just grabbed his hand dragged Soler to the others. Soler had a brief thought that this was going to be a common occurrence between him and Erza.

Erza and Soler emerged into the main guildhall and Solers eyes lit up in amazement at the site of the lively guildhall as everyone was in high spirits for some reason or another. Soler didn't even care he was to wrapped in the feeling in the air, the feeling of camaraderie and friendship. Seeing all of the smiling faces instantly brought a smile to Soler's face though he couldn't understand why it did but it just felt like he should be smiling with everyone else. Erza looked at the smile on Soler's face and it brought one to hers to see him actually enjoying himself.

"I take it this is the first time you've been in a guild?" she asked. Soler only nodded still looking around the hall in amazement.

"Well, I couldn't recommend a better guild to see first. And I hope that you might decide to join the guild someday." she said. At that Soler looked at her curiously,

"Join the guild?" Soler asked. Erza nodded,

"Yes though I know you're still getting adjusted to everything I hope that you'd decide to make this place you're home." Soler's heart stopped for a moment at those words.

"M-My home?" he asked quietly. Erza nodded,

"Yes, you're home. See-" Erza stopped mid-sentence when a table went suddenly flying overhead. She looked to see a certain dragon slayer and ice mage going at it once again and causing a ruckus like normal. She sighed letting go of Soler's hand,

"Sorry, Soler I'll give you a tour in a bit. Right now I have to stop those two again. Maybe when things get settled I can introduce you to them. Though they might like to fight each other there good people." with that Erza left Soler to end another fight between Natsu and Gray leaving the timid boy alone once again. Soler quickly lost his amazement as his fear came back not knowing anyone but two people and not ever dealing with people in this manner left him out of his comfort zone. Soler quickly scanned for the only other person he knew. He was pleased to spot him near the bar sitting on a stool. Soler quickly made his way over to the Master of the guild and got up in the seat next to him. Makarov looked over to Soler once he sat down with a soft smile on his face,

"So are you enjoying the guild my boy?" he asked. Soler feeling a safer being near the master relaxed and nodded his head,

"Yes this place is so lively and it feels so nice here. I like it a lot." he responded.

"That's great to hear young man. Now I know you must be hungry let's get something to eat. Jules dear would please get Soler here some food." No sooner had he spoke the words a woman who looked in her mid-thirties came up to them from behind the counter. The woman had brown shoulder-length hair and wore a simple blue dress. Her matching brown eyes were soft and gentle much like her smile was,

"Of course master, I'll be right back with some food for you Soler." she said sweetly and quickly walked off to make a plate of food for him. As she left Soler couldn't help but notice that she had a strange mark on the back of her shoulder and it was colored blue.

"Hey Master Makarov what's that mark on her shoulder?" Soler asked.

"Oh, that blue mark. That's her guild mark my boy." he answered.

"Her guild mark? What's a guild mark?" Soler asked in return.

"A guild mark is a sign that you are a wizard that belongs to one of the guilds that lie in Fiore. Everyone in this guild has a guild mark and they're not all in the same place too. Erza's is on her arm while Natsu's is on his shoulder. It doesn't matter where the mark is just that you have the mark to show you are an official wizard of the guild." Makarov explained. Soler nodded in understanding but before he could ask any more questions Jules had returned to them with a steaming plate of meat and vegetables and a glass of water.

"There you go sweetie. I hope you enjoy and tell me if you want seconds ok?" she said sweetly Soler nodded and she walked away to deal with one of the other guildmates. Soler examined the food eyeing the steaming food in curiosity. Makarov laugh broke Soler out of his examining,

"My boy if you're always this cautious then you'll never get to see the world." he joked. Soler got the meaning and knew he was right but he was so used to things not being this easy so he built a natural wall of caution. But being here made him feel a bit more courageous so he picked up a piece of meat with his fork and took a mouthful. He paused a few moments as his taste buds exploded in joy at how flavorful this food was. He didn't waste time in devouring the rest of his plate before him enjoying each and every bite he took. Soler finished with drinking the sweet-tasting glass of water as he let out a content sigh. Makarov watched this with a smile on his face that much of a parent watching a child enjoy a good meal.

"I see that you enjoyed the meal lad?" he asked. Soler nodded with a smile,

"Yes it was fantastic!" he exclaimed. Makarovs smile only grew hearing that,

"I'm glad to hear that." the two sat in comfortable silence for a few moments letting Soler's food digest. Then the mood seemed to shift to something more serious as Makarov lost his smile, his expression turning into a more thoughtful one. Soler picked up on the sudden changed in the master,

"What's wrong?" he asked. Makarov didn't reply right away since he was finishing his thoughts.

"Soler my boy would mind looking out to the guild with me for a bit and tell me what you see." he asked suddenly. Soler didn't know where the old man was going with this but he obeyed him nevertheless. When Soler looked out into the sea of members he was meet with the sight of Erza putting a pink-haired kid and raven-haired kid in there place with ease. But what surprised him was that the pink-haired kid was spitting fire and the raven-haired boy had ice coming from his palms. Yet Erza was handling the two boys with ease. Soler watched with amazement at the spectacle mainly on how strong Erza seemed to be.

"Tell me lad do you think you could find a place here with this rowdy bunch?" the masters question brought him from his thoughts focusing back on the man.

"What did you ask?" he questioned.

"I asked if you think you could call us your family?" Makarov asked. Soler's body was still his heart was beating loudly so loud it filled his ears. He had never been asked to be part of anything let alone a family. Though Soler had only been here for a little while he had to admit he didn't want to leave this place or these people even if he hadn't met them all yet. He was ready to say yes to the Master but he stopped when glanced back over to Erza seeing her calming the situation. He felt a familiar emotion this time, one he knew all too well. The feeling of being weak.

"I want to say yes. I really really do but-" Soler stopped his sentence short unable to find his voice now. Makarov looked at the boy curiously wondering what it was that was stopping this child from saying yes. He glanced over to the direction Soler looked and saw that the view led to Erza. It took the old master a few moments to put two and two together but when he did an understanding smile broke across his face.

"You want to say yes but you feel too inferior to a certain someone to join us?" he asked. Soler nodded sadly,

"Well I don't know about inferior but I feel like someone as weak as Ime shouldn't be apart of your family." he admitted looking down at his feet. He was expecting the Master to agree but was surprised when he felt a hand on his head. Soler looked up at the man to see a smile on his face,

"Lad the whole point of family is so that we can lift each other up. So that we can make each other stronger so we can protect one another. If you feel that you are weak then we will help you get stronger so you won't feel that weakness. That is what it means to be a family. That is what it means to be apart of Fairy Tail." Soler started at the man in awe a single tear went down his face.

"Y-You mean it's alright that I'm weak? And that I can get stronger?" he asked. The Master nodded,

"Of course my boy." Soler was quiet for a few moments letting the words melt into his heart. Soler glanced back to Erza and a new thought passed through his mind. Something he never thought before,

I want to get as strong as Erza. Soler looked at the guild master with a newfound fire in his eyes,

"Master Makarov I want to get as strong as Erza is. And I want a place to call home with others who care for me. So yes I'll join the Fairy Tail guild." Makarov gave a hardy laugh which slightly frightened Soler not understanding why he was laughing. Makarov slowed his laughing and proceed to pat Soler on the back,

"My boy I'm glad you're deciding to join us! There is some paperwork to get you registered in the guild but I can handle that tidbit. But for now, lets you your guild mark and let everyone know we have a new member!" he said. Makarov was about to call over Jules again but the tug Soler gave to his shirt stopped him and give his attention to the boy. Soler looked extremely nervous about what he was going to ask but he was getting another start at life here it seemed and he wanted to get stronger now so he'd stop being afraid, and weak, and also so that he could repay Erza and maybe be considered an equal.

"Master as a new member I have a request to ask out of you." he started. Makarov gave Soler his full attention now listening to every word he said carefully,

"Yes? What is your request."

"I-I saw that pink-haired kid shoot fire out of his mouth, and I've heard you guys say "magic" a few times. I want to get stronger now that you've brought me into your family. I wanted to ask if you'd help me learn magic so I can get stronger." Soler asked the man giving him his best serious expression. Makarov mulled over his request for the next few moments leaving the poor boy in suspense. After what felt like an eternity Makarov came to an answer,

"I don't why I can't do that. It is not only the job of the master but also as you're elder to help the youth grow." he answered. The smile that grew on Soler's face was so bright and hopeful it'd give anyone the will to push forward.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you Master!" he said rapidly. Makarov smiled seeing his enjoyment,

"Yes, yes you're very welcome. But we'll start tomorrow so, for now, let's get your guild mark. Jules could you bring the guild mark stamp please." he called. Jules came back over to the two a few moments later with a simple looking stamp with the guilds mark on it.

"I've brought the stamp master, are we getting a new member?" she asked smiling at Soler causing him to blush a bit.

"Yes, Soler here is joining the guild and needs his guild mark to make it official. I'm sure you can handle this process." he said. Jules nodded,

"Of course master." the woman turned her attention to Soler now with the stamp in her hand,

"Ok, Soler now this is a painless process I assure you. All you have to do is tell me what color you want your mark to be and where you want it. It's as simple as that." Soler took a second to think of where he wanted his mark. He knew where it was placed didn't matter much but he wanted his mark to matter to him. Soler's vision drifted down to his hand now and he stared at it for a few moments. Then it hit him on where it would matter the most,

"Could I get my mark on my hand? And could the color be white?" he asked. Jules smiled

"Of course you can sweetie. Now which hand and where would you like it.?"

"My left hand, please. And on the back of it." he answered. Jules nodded and went to work with the stamp. First, she twisted this crystal ball on the top till the color changed white,

"Can I see your hand please?" she asked. Soler was a tad hesitant but he did as she asked and gave his hand. He relaxed when he felt how soft her hands were. Once she got his hand Jules went and pressed the stamp mark where he asked. Jules held the stamp on his hand for few moments all the while Soler enjoyed the feeling of his hand being held, and no sooner as she held it there she lifted it up to show the guild mark on his hand.

"There you go and now you're officially a member of Fairy Tail! Welcome to the guild Soler." she said. Soler looked at his mark in amazement on how it didn't even really feel like anything was really there. But he touched the spot and rest assured the mark was real. He grew a content smile on his face as a new feeling of belonging grew in his heart with the addition of the mark.

"Good, now that you have your mark you should go interact with the other members and get acquainted with them. Erza dear could you come over!" Makarov shouted. The redhead was ending her lecture when she heard her get called over. She quickly made her way over to them,

"Yes, master?"

"Soler here has officially joined the guild. Do you mind giving him a looked around and introducing him to some of the other members." he asked. Erza nodded,

"Of course Master." Makarov looked at Soler and motioned him on. Soler took the cue and got off his stool to the waiting Erza. The girl smiled brightly at Soler full of excitement,

"So you joined! That fantastic news! Where did you get your guild mark placed?" she asked. Soler lifted up his hand to her,

"I-I got it here." he said. Quicker than he was ready for Erza held his hand taking a good look at his mark. Soler was blushing all while she did this and his heart was doing that thing again,

"I figured you'd get the color white because of your hair, but what made you put the mark here?" she asked. Her gaze directed him only added to his blush yet she seemed completely oblivious to it,

"Oh well I uh just thought it'd look cool there." he answered. Erza continued her gaze for another few seconds before smiling and nodded,

"Well you're right then, it does look cool there. Now let me introduce you to Natsu and the others." instead of letting his hand go much like he thought she would she held on it and dragged him along to meet the other members.

Makarov watched as Erza introduced Soler to the other kids all the while holding and thoughtful expression on his face. Jules was cleaning up Soler's dishes when she noticed the master expression,

"Is there something wrong Master?" she asked. Makarov shook his head,

"No nothing wrong. It's just I feel our new member is going to surprise all us all. Heck, I feel he's even going to surprise himself. And I fell it'll all start tomorrow when we train for the first time."

Ok, so another one done. Ok, so I think I should get some warning out the way now that I didn't last chapters. So firstly the story is mainly going to be from Soler's perspective but I will be jumping to others perspectives to and such but it'll mainly be through his. Second I'm going to be skipping around a bit in this beginning since I'm going to go heavier after he learns his abilities. And speaking on abilities for those new to this character he is my OC based off another version from other stories so his abilities may seem too overpowered or too strong but trust me when I say there's consequences and limits set for him. For those who aren't new and know this character you guys are in for a treat later on in the story. Also another thing I want to apologize about is with the dates and such. I'm trying my best with keeping with as in chronological order as possible but neither the show or anime really specify how old there characters at a given time to base things off of so it's a challenge and i hope you can bare with me. I think thats all I have to say this time oh and the chapters will get longer as it progresses too. So yeah that about it, I always love a review to tell me how I'm doing so don't be shy. Anywho this has ben Solerwolf catch ya on the flip!
