Chapter 2: FairyTail.
A few hours earlier: at the FairyTail guild.
The guildhall is loud and lively. People are moving in and out of the guild hall, coming and going from jobs. Other people are sat inside on cushioned chairs and round wooden tables with drinks in their hand, mainly beer. They are chatting energetically.
A young woman with long scarlet hair and Brown eyes, wearing silver armour sits at a table at the back of the guild. A glass of beer in her hand. She sips it slowly. She sits with her chin rested on her left hand, contemplatively.
Mirajane walks up to Erza with a tray of beers in her hand. She puts it down on the table gently.
"Hello Erza." Mirajane smiles at her. Her white hair blows gently in the warm summer breeze as the guild doors open and close. "What are you thinking about?"
Erza looks up from her contemplative trance. She smiles warmly.
"Oh not much... just...reminiscing." She looks out towards the guild doors. She looks back at Mira. "Do you remember when we were kids and we got asked by Master to babysit the queens daughter, the princess of Stella for a job?"
"Yes...yes I do. We were so young back then. Only 13." Mira laughs at the thought.
Erza chuckles.
"She was a lively one, the princess."
"Yes... she was. Very rebellious. Well, she was only 5." Mira chuckles "I wonder how she's doing now?"
A voice calls from across the guild hall.
"Hey Mira! More beers over here!!!!!!"
Mira looks towards the voice then back at Erza, giving her a gentle smile.
"Sure!!!" She shouts back to a group of people sitting around a circle table in the middle of the guildhall. She picks up the tray of beers and walks over to the table.
Erza goes back to reminiscing, staring at her mug of beer...
Present time: Just outside the guildhall.
The mysterious cloaked figure stands outside the big double doors of the guild. They take a deep breath in, as they fidget with their fingers. They shuffle back slightly, hesitating to open the doors. They continue to take in long exaggerated breaths...
Cautiously, they push open the doors of the guild...
Sounds of chatter, laughter and drinks clashing together engulf their ears. The guild hall is large. They cautiously walk into the guild. Soft light green carpet tickles their feet as they walk.
Nobody has noticed them yet. They slink round to a corner of the guild. They watch people chatter and drink merrily. Their eyes darting around from person to person. People brush past them going in and out. The breeze slightly blows their cloak as the doors open and close.
Over the other side of the guild, Mira is still serving drinks...
Out of the corner of her eye she notices the cloaked person in the corner. She puts some drinks down on the table, then turns around with the empty tray in her hand. She walks over to the counter and places the tray down and then walks towards the cloaked figure.
"Hello." Mira's voice was calm and sweet. "Are you alright?"
The cloaked figure looks up at Mira. Their blue eyes stare intensely into Mira's dark blue eyes.
"Yes... I'm ok" They pause. Mira leans in slightly to hear them. "I... ummm... I... would like to join the fairyTail guild." They shuffle back further into the corner.
"That's great! We'd be happy to have you!!!! Come with me." Mira smiles and starts to walk over to the bar. They follow her...
"What's your name?" Mira's smile was gentle.
"Lizzie."
"That's a lovely name Lizzie." Mira picks up the guild stamp. "Where would you like your mark?"
Lizzie glances down at her right foot.
"What colour would you like?"
Lizzie hesitates...
"Black."
