Chapter 1, Part 9: Hell Fire

Thanks, Leon29 The Wolf, for submitting an OC

Raelyn P.O.V.

I looked toward the ground, waiting for Abilene and Vivian to return. Soon enough I heard footsteps coming from the cave and I turned to see Abilene and Vivian, both were holding an unconscious Rollun. I smiled in relief to see them alright, however that smile soon faded away when I realized that Abilene nor Vivian looked too happy. Something must have happened, or something, I went up to Abilene and asked, "did something happen while you were out looking for Rollun?" I looked over to Vivian, only to notice a burn on her arm, although it didn't look like it bothered her as she set Rollun on the cold floor.

Abilene, with gritted teeth replied, "yes. Although we were lucky to get out of it, thanks to an ice girl who rescued us." She paused, looking at the ground, for a moment before continuing, "you see...we ran into a fire magician, although usually even magic flames can be eliminated using the power of wind, however that didn't work, in fact, all it did was create more fire. It was crazy." She looked down at her hands, as if trying to evaluate on whether or not she was still alive or not.

Vivian turned toward us and asked, "do any of you guys have a cloth? I need to wrap the wound." She jerked her head toward the wound, which was open because of that fire magician, I think. Abilene and I shook our heads at the same time. Vivian then turned to Lin and before Vivian could even open her mouth to ask the question about whether Lin had a strip of cloth or not, Lin also shook her head.

I whispered to Vivian, "you do know you could ask Maxwell or Cardes." Both me and Vivian turned toward them: they were still asleep, with Maxwell's head resting on Cardes's shoulder, while Cardes had his head against the wall, "or...not?" I figured that we shouldn't wake them up. I would have a bad feeling that they would attack us and their crazy strong. Although their extremely strong, right now they seemed rather peaceful, and that's the state I would prefer them to be in.

She sighed and said, "the blood won't stop flowing, though. We don't have a healer, either, so what do we do now?" I actually heard there was a Dragon Slayer that was also a healer, she was the Sky Dragon Slayer: Wendy and one of the youngest members of the now destroyed Fairy Tail.

That's when I remembered something. I raised my hand and quietly said, "I do know a spell that can heal Rollun-"

Vivian interrupted before I could finish my sentence, "really? Cast it!" She had a hopeful look in her eyes.

As if Vivian hadn't even spoke at all, I continued to finish my sentence, ripping out the urge to attack Vivian for interrupting me, "...however I haven't mastered the spell yet, so it might not work as it's supposed to." I blinked uncertainly, "that's just a warning...so are you sure you want me to do the spell?"

Vivian still nodded. That just shows that she was determined to treat Rollun's wound. I sat beside Rollun and hovered my hands over him. I started chanting in another language, Latin. Soon after a green light formed in my hands, the only thing I could do now was pray that it was going to work. The wound slowly but steadily closed up. I dropped my hands down to my side as I said, "it's done."

Lin abruptly narrowed her eyes toward the entrance of the cave and shouted, "show yourself! There's no need to hide yourself." Her body started glowing and her clothes disappeared, and was replaced by her dragon armor. She immediately cast: "Inferno Devastation!" Huge fireballs were aimed toward the bushes. Soon a boy appeared, and he looked just fine, as though Inferno Devastation just went right through his body.

Abilene tapped my shoulder lightly before explaining, "that's the fire magician I mentioned back then. He's extremely quiet, and he's extremely strong." His dark green eyes looked dull as he put his hands out in front of him and a fiery red magic circle appeared and out came the flames. I decided a direct attack on him would make the flames disappear. Maxwell and Cardes awoke because of the flames and Maxwell immediately grabbed her spear and threw it at the boy, only to have it drop to the ground because the boy deflected it...with fire. Fire. That's impossible to do, unless the fire is solidified in some way.

I stood up and slowly walked toward him. After I took a few steps, fire was surrounding me, and his eyes told me more than enough to not go any nearer to him, however I simply continued walking to the flames and a stinging pain was felt from my knees to my ankles. It hurt so badly that I put in all my effort into not screaming in pain. After I finally managed to break through the fire's barrier he seemed surprise. I used this opportunity to shout, "Crystal Lance!" Since he was off guard, now was the perfect time to strike.

The crystal easily pierced his chest. He screamed, his eyes showing extreme pain. Strange...Crystal Lance isn't meant to be that strong. I tilted my head in confusion before abruptly he grabbed the crystallized lance and just brought it out. The lance was stained with his blood. He brought it out without wincing, moaning nor screaming.

I-Impossible...! Is he a monster!?

He narrowed his eyes at me as the wound seemed to cover in fire and he whispered so quietly that I could only hear part of it. That part I caught was I guess his name. Part of his name. Come to think of it, it would also be the first time even speaking. I actually didn't catch much. I caught the syllable 'Ka' and 'Ro', however that's all.

Suddenly the earthy floor froze and then 'Ka' something something something 'Ro' slipped and fell to the ground, and I swear (or maybe it was my imagination) that I just heard him say, "kya!" Though I think I was half-asleep.

He stood up, one eye closed as he turned around to see a boy, four or five years older than the KaRo guy. He had blue eyes and black hair, and he looked pretty muscular. I also noticed a scar across his left eye that may be from a blade, and a few lines on his body, I think stitches, maybe? I don't know. He wore a blue shirt, black jeans and black sneakers. Also another thing that is black is his sunglasses. He had a sword - the hilt was black while the blade was white - the tip was stabbed to the earth. He glared at the fire user, who glared back with everlasting determination clearly in his eyes.

"Begone." The ice guy said before he attempted to freeze Karo (I don't know his name, so for now I'm sticking with Karo), to no avail, as fire countered the ice, creating steam.

Vivian quickly shouted, "Gale Samba!" She spun around with her unsheathed sword above her and suddenly a big wind formed and blew away the steam however the fire magician was gone.

The ice boy said, "hmph..." He then turned around and walked away.

Lin, still in her dragon armor, shouted to the ice boy: "Hold up, at least tell us your name!"

He stopped however didn't turn around. He simply said, "if you can't protect yourself you're better off dead. I don't give my name to idiots like you guys who don't know how to protect themselves. It annoys the crap out of me." He then walked away, and none of us bothered to shout for his name again as we watched him until he became a dot in our vision.

I fought to keep tears from my eyes as I thought:

What is wrong with him...?

? P.O.V.

I thought to myself how annoying humans can be. I thought back to that time. Although I try very hard to forget about it.

"Aww...you're so cute!" I whispered to the animal in my palms.

It tilted it's head as I petted it, however it winced.

I asked, "huh...? What's wrong?"

That's when it happened. I felt my hands burn. It stung. It stung really badly. I cried and screamed before fire came out and burned the whole entire forest. I felt my parents' presence and prompted them silently to run away, to stay away from me however they came closer. I heard my parents scream in agony as the fire devoured them.

That's when I heard a deep voice...it was also scary: "That's right, let out your anger, let out your agony, let out everything, if you do...I'll grant you the freedom."

"Who are you!?" I shouted, ignoring the pain.

"I am the hell fire that's been resting in you since your birth. It's about time you awakened me, hah...hahaha!" He laughed loudly before all was silent.

That's when the real pain came.

I smacked my head, forcing the memory out.

However what I hadn't noticed was someone behind me, and when I turned around the only thing I saw was bloody red glowing eyes before it was too late.

A.N. - I'm really sorry for the short chapter, however I didn't want to leave you guys hanging. Also a lot of you ask about when the guild will be created. The answer to that is the second arc will have a little time skip where they already create the guild, however some of them will still be villains for a little while before joining for those who chose villain-turn-good and wanted to join. For now, this is the 'introductory' arc, if you know what I mean.

Also since I need to decide the guild master, at first I wanted Abilene to be guild master, as I intended her to be the main character. I know at first glance it may seem like Raelyn was the main character. However, as for deciding the guild master, I'll put up a poll that will be located on the top of my profile page, so go visit and take your vote! The poll will expire the chapter before the start of the second arc. Also note that I won't be putting every OC there, just the ones that appeared. Apparently, (this will be up on there as well) please don't vote for your own OC. Thank you for all your support.

If you like this story and haven't yet submitted an OC, submit one now and you're in! Anyways, Favorite if you like it, Follow for more updates to come, and Review and tell me how you guys feel! So far I've been getting good feedback and good thing none of you rated my story a 5 or below, if that occurred, then we need to figure out how I can make this story better. And also, I'm glad that I've been getting the personalities down. I was pretty nervous that I wouldn't get it down, but it looks like I nailed it! To be honest, this is the first story I've done that I accept OC submissions. I was actually inspired by someone: MyDearWatson. One of his stories, Thunder Stone, really gave me the motivation to write this story!

So, I hope you guys enjoyed and hopefully I didn't leave too big of a cliffhanger for you, actually I don't think that's really a cliffhanger...if you ask me, that is.
