I do not own Fairy Tail.
I do, however, own Aina Albey, an OC, and the song below.
In a week after the Celestial Mage's training, they had been hearing only one person's name.
Aina Albey.
"Have you heard of that new Sound Mage? Apparently, she's a really good singer, too, and since her Magic is based on sound, she can charm people using it."
Gossip spread around Magnolia like wildfire. It was known Aina Albey was born in Alvarez and was one who was very close to once being in the Spriggan 12, but could not, as Dimaria beat her. She wasn't all that furious, anymore, of course as her life had gotten better than it perhaps could've been even being part of the Spriggan 12, but at the time she'd been quite upset. She'd gotten over it, and started a new, honestly more fun, for her, career, and was very content with her life, so she was actually grateful to Dimaria.
The musician probably would've become extremely popular just because of her charming music alone, but her looks were a big bonus. Her hair started straight, platinum blond, ending in soft, lavender tresses. Her eyes were a big, beautiful, mysterious lilac, whom were also greatly brought out by her gorgeous hair. Her willowy, skinny frame was what, often, most impressed men.
Obviously, it wasn't just her looks that made her so renowned, for otherwise she would not have become a songstress, in the first place, had she not had the talent to hold her own against the competition when it came to singing.
She had recently been invited to Fiore by the king, of course, both the King and the vocalist were oblivious to the war about to rage between them in a few years' time, to do a performance. She was to sing her new song, one she had composed herself and made her so beloved by her people. She was honoured, she had only sung once to the Emperor, and while she had been overjoyed at the opportunity, singing to a King of another land was an entirely new feeling, so immensely delightful.
People of Fiore had been informed by the King himself and invited to a Parade in honour of the enchanting woman, as the King was quite generous, and the singer was the talk of the kingdom.
Many were attending the Parade. Our mages in Fairy Tail, however, were not just personally asked to attend, but to also partake and perform in the parade!
Like in the Fantasia, which had charmed everyone, but obviously, different, or it would not be original.
The seven, Team Natsu (Wendy, Erza, Gray, Happy, Carla, Natsu and Lucy.), were at the inn, The Golden Lion Inn, resting the night away, unaware of what was to come. Well, not Lucy, who, at the moment, was trying to rest, turning and tossing. The past few days, ever since Fairy Tail had gotten back together actually, she'd not slept a wink.
When will this stop, she would often wonder.
That morning, most people...well, they were still sleeping since it was four o'clock, excluding Lucy. Who was meditating in her room with the window open, breathing in the fresh, morning air.
She'd given up on trying not to sleep, but she was seriously reaching her limit with it. No matter what she seemed to do, nothing would work.
It was just peculiar, she could sleep normally enough before. She got the occasional nightmares, but that was about it. Was this caused by Magic? Was she under some curse? Why her? What was going on?
Why don't you ask your 'friends' for advice.
Why haven't you told them yet?
Stupid, internal voice. Lucy couldn't even hurt it without hurting herself!
"Lucy!' Natsu crashed through the door. A Natsu shaped hole was left in place.
"Natsu?' Lucy sighed. "Why, pray tell, you can't use the door like a normal person?'
"Lucy!' This time it was Gray. Well, there goes the door. Lucy decided not to pay for it this time. These idiots will never learn to clean up their own messes if she did it for them, anyway.
"Erza's coming, hide!' Gray exclaimed.
"What did you do this time? And seriously, so early?'
"It was exhibitionist's fault. He started it."
"No, I didn't, Lizard, you destroyed her cake!'
"Natsu, Gray!' Erza said, kicking the door. It was broken anyway, right?
Lucy rubbed the side of her forehead. God, these people. Was this how she paid for her sins?
"Gray, Natsu, go say "Sorry" to Erza and get over it," Lucy growled, not really in the mood, what with the lack of sleep.
"We're so sorry, Erza. Please forgive us, we beg you. Show us sympathy."
"You will buy me a strawberry cake, then perhaps, I shall consider it." Erza proposed.
"Of course," Gray replied, while Natsu bowed, and said,
"Erza, you are the merciful Goddess! We are forever in your debt."
Erza nodded, walking away, on the way picking up the door, slamming it into place and smirking at them through the holes in the door.
"Show off," Lucy muttered.
"Don't let her hear you say that."
After that fiasco, the team then got dressed and ready.
Erza'd taken on the responsibility of being boss of the set-ups. There was not much to do, but no one refused Titania unless you wished to face her wrath. By the evening, everything was done, and everyone had to say, it looked fantastic!
A wooden stage was set up against a massive, green tree, decorated with glowing, magical flowers and colourful lights. Lanterns were hung upon ropes on poles on the stage.
The wooden stage had a red carpet on it, with glittery, golden edges. The carpet continued onto the stairs and made a path for the celebrated woman to walk on. There were royal purple, soft, cushioned seats and couches that were spread over the space, there were thousands of them, considering the amount people were sure to attend.
Now that many of the audience had arrived, they were only awaiting upon the arrival of the main attraction. As soon, as she walked through, the rest of the Mages participating in the Parade would follow. Suddenly, in a flash of beautiful gold, appeared a beautiful woman. Her hair was done in a half bun at the back of her head, the rest of the hair open, still long enough to reach her shoulders. She wore a lilac dress, matching her eyes, that ended above her knees, glittering in the gorgeous lighting.
She beamed at the crowd, who was instantly entranced by her appearance. As she walked elegantly to the stage, the Parade began.
Natsu and Erza were the first to go. Erza had her newest and one of her most beautiful armours on, Sword Wing. Black swords formed wings on her back, with a dress that ended just above her knees on the front, reaching just below the knees from behind. It was peach in colour, except the metal belt, that was scarlet, matching her scarlet hair. She also wore red gloves that reached her shoulders and had roses at the top, with black blade lining the left side. She had roses surrounded her, a crimson aura surrounding her swords, sparkling daggers and roses as well as herself.
Natsu wore the same outfit as the one he wore when he fought Tartaros, well, not the same, but another copy of it, since it looked so good, and the other one was destroyed. With his new scarf this time around, of course. It wasn't the same, but it'd taken a lot for him to get anything that was similar to the scarf that was destroyed by the demons of Zeref.
Fire spurted around him, like a fountain, making people gasp. As he made a show of eating fire, the fire he'd gathered on the torch he held, as he still couldn't eat his own fire.
Next was Gray and Wendy. Gray wore no shirts, but rather an open coat that reached his thighs. Showing his chest, making many girls drool, mostly Juvia, though. The coat was a Persian blue colour with Ambers running along the front and golden lines tracing the edge of the long coat. He wore golden pants. Gray obviously, made Ice sculptures. But now that he had Ice Devil Slayer Magic, he could also make black, glowing balls of ice appear in the sky, awing everyone. He smirked to Natsu, challenging him, 'Beat that'. Natsu seemed to understand his look, smirking back, accepting the challenge.
Wendy wore a rose-gold dress. It was a simple gown that reached her feet. She wore sparkly, pink clips in her tied in one big ponytail, to accent her dress. Wendy flew around a tornado, don't worry, it didn't affect anyone else, with her outfit changing every few minutes, a trick she'd picked up on from Chelia. She was able to create illusions using air. She also made a rainbow in the sky, with crystals surrounding it. It was a truly Magical sight, pun intended.
Then came Happy and Carla, Carla showing off her wings to kids in her human form, while happy just flew around with Wendy.
Then it was Lucy and Yukino, SaberTooth had been invited, too. Yukino and Lucy chose to wear Celestial World clothing in honour of their Magic. Lucy wore the green dress that she wore in the tower of Heaven. Yukino wore something that would resemble a small crop top with a green cape surrounding her. (What Erza wore when helping The Celestial Spirit before the grand magic games.) Yukino called out Ophiuchus and Pisces, finally able to call out two Zodiac spirits, which slightly frightened little children, but they got over it soon enough, giggling at the tricks the three serpent-like creatures did.
Lucy also called her spirits, Virgo and Lyra. Lyra making enchanting music, while Virgo and Lucy did a fake whip fight of sorts, making the audience watch in excitement. Lucy also changed into some of her Star Dress outfits, surprising everyone who'd never known Celestial Mages could do that.
Soon enough, the Parade came to an end, SaberTooth and Lamia Scale performing, along with Jenny, Hibiki and Ren from Blue Pegasus. It was time for the song.
Aina got ready to sing, and everyone cheered her on.
She walks alone
She is afraid
Of what is gone
Of what is left
Where she sat, what she called home
Is nothing but a pile, of past memories
She's fighting every day just to lose someone, again
She's pushing them all away, cause' she can't take the pain
And she wishes, she could turn back time
Go back to the days, everything was fine
Lucy felt a strange sort of emotion, something familiar, as she listened to the words.
She was always afraid, they'd turn on her
There were so many times, she messed up
But they were always there, by her side
She wishes things didn't change, and everything was alright
And she wonders if life would be easier if she couldn't love
And she wishes, she could turn back time
Go back to the days, everything was fine
The darkness, the pain, the agony
Lucy almost felt like some painful memories were resurfacing. Like she could relate to these lyrics.
Ain't over yet
Her heart is so, so heavy
She wonders if she'll ever be herself
And she wishes, she could turn back time
Go back to the days, everything was fine
And she wishes, she could turn back time
Go back to the days, everything was fine
She never knew what the future would bring, and she wishes she could go back, she could hold on
She wishes she never let go, oh
And she wishes, she could turn back time
Go back to the days, everything was fine
And abruptly, Lucy saw an image she never would have imagined. One so painful that it tore her heart apart.
