[Still Mavis' POV, it may eventually change]
"I know we can do it, if we work together, I know we can make this dream a reality."
Everyone stared at me, "so how about it? Together?"
Smiles grew upon their faces, Precht tried to hide his and Yuri's was a little too obvious.
"A mage guild, huh?" Precht mummbled.
"Sounds exciting." Warrod beamed.
"How about Precht's Brothers for the guild name?" Yuri said, not at all joking.
"Only you could make such a brilliant idea, Mavis. Oh and Yuri, no way." Zera beamed.
I turned to all of them and was no longer facing Magnolia, "the guild name shall be... Fairy Tail."
"Fairy Tail?" Yuri said with the kind of terrified face that made me giggle.
"Ain't that a little fancy for the likes of us." Warrod said gesturing to him, Yuri, and Precht.
"OI! What part of us three reminds you of fairies." Precht said with his mouth gaping open.
"I don't know. I happen to like it." Zera said with a beaming smile.
"Do Fairies have tails? Do they even exist? An eternal mystery with an eternal adventure. That's why I picked it for our guild name."
We made our guild official after going to the council and making friends with other guilds in the area. We also told the townsfolk. Their friendship and support was essential to our guild.
{Many months later...}
"We've completed it, Warrod. Stop spacing out." Yuri yelled, catching the attention of the daydreamer.
"So this is it. Our guild." Precht and Warrod said at the same time.
"PICTURE TIME!" I yelled.
Zera ran over and stood beside me. The boys stood in the back. Yuri on the right with his body slightly tilted, his signature smirk was across his face. Precht stood in the middle, I couldn't believe it, but he had a genuine smile on his face. As did Warrod who stood to the left of Precht. Zera and I took our spots in the front. Zera stood on the right in front of Precht and I stood on the left. I had my arms up and Zera had hers crossed but she was smiling.
"Now all we need is to pick a master. I vote for Mavis." Zera said rather loudly.
"I agree." The boys all said at once.
"M-me?"
"It was your idea in the first place." Yuri added.
"I see a future where a great many will call this guild home. They forever have adventures, but have a place to return to. That's the kind of guild I want Fairy Tail to be. That is the future I see."
"Then that is what Fairy Tail will become." Precht said with a smile.
{The Year x696}
After the 2nd trade war finally ended I decided to go back into the forest that I had first met him in. I thought of him constantly now and how he has saved my friends and I.
Warrod was an amazing green mage. Who can make just about anything grow just about anywhere. You can tell based on some of his spells like flowing giant tree, that he was going to be a nearly unstoppable. He was now trying to learn earth magic.
Yuri was quite the electric boy he always was, but now he was a master of electricity and it was no longer just his personality. He had mastered some very powerful spells like summer triangle, lighting body, and thunder palace. Thunder palace is actually a spell that quiet terrifies me.
Zera was quite the fire mage. She had mastered spells such as red shower and carpet. Even fire bullet. My favorite of all her magic was the ability in which she could change the color and power of the flame. For example blue fire that possessed cold properties or orange fire that made the fire give off a really strange smell. My absolute favorite was her rainbow fire, she combines the different "colors" and creates one dangerous spell. When it hits the target it explodes. She is so powerful now and I am so proud of her. She is even hoping to maybe learn some of my illusion magic.
Oh and Precht. He finally found magic that suited him. Chain Magic, bullet magic, he is even able to use requip, a very complicated magic. (He doesn't use it very often.)
I was still thinking of Zeref as I went deeper into the forest. Only to one again run into by mere chance.
"Mavis..."
"MR. BLACK WIZARD MAN! FROM BACK THEN! ZEREF!" I had figured out his name after he left, by studying at the Magnolia Library. "YAAAAAAAAAAY!" I was so happy to see the man who saved my life. So I ran up to him planning on giving him a bug hug and surprising him that he won't kill because I am immortal now.
"Wa-wait you remember my curse, don't you?"
"Of course!"
"So then..." I interrupted him by wrapping my arms around his waist and giving him a large hug. He froze in complete shock.
"Back then, you were the reason that we won. It was because of you I could save my friends."
We went to go sit down and he told me his true identity. "I know, I found out after we separated. I read about your curse and well you are currently the only person cursed with it."
He looked at me and then chuckled, "only you would look up my curse in a library."
"So you've been alive for over 300 years?"
"Has it truly been that long?"
"You're nothing like the rumors say."
"Are they bad rumors? I am probably rather close to what they say I am."
I poked him until he looked at me, "no way." His face turned from shock and sadness, to the kind and gentle smile I knew after all these years. "Your eyes are too kind. I don't believe those foul rumors. Not one bit."
"You are too innocent, my dear." He said still gazing at me with his heartwarming smile. Did he just say my dear...? I could feel my body warm up a little. "Do you remember Yuri? He is going to be a father soon."
"That boy, a father?"
"It's been 10 years."
"You haven't changed one bit."
"Well you see, this body, is well the price I paid for using that incomplete black magic all those years ago. I have no regrets. I was able to save my friends."
"YOU ACTUALLY USED LAW?!" I was surprised by his reaction because he had never shouted something before now. So I was startled. Then, I felt 2 hands grab my face. He was cupping my checks and we were but a few inches apart. At first I didn't realize what was going on and when I finally did, I began to blush.
I quietly whispered, "is something wrong?" He wouldn't leave me gaze, he just stared. Until he backed away and let go of my face. His eyes went large and he looked like he was going to faint. "Zeref..."
"You've stopped growing, haven't you? You've become ageless and immortal... Just like me."
My mouth just gaped open and I managed to squeak out 3 letters "wha-?" Then he cut me off.
"You made a life or death choice at the time. This is the curse."
"That isn't true nothing around me is dying."
"You are not truly aware of how precise life is yet. The day you become aware, is the day things around you will disappear."
I looked down at the ground, tears were rolling down my face and I was frozen in fear. So many died in the war and soon they will die... because of me?
"Why do you say such... terrible things?" I said, still looking at the ground.
"It's the truth."
"I thought... you... you"
"Starting to believe how accurate those rumors actually are yet?"
With that I got up and ran away. It isn't true. He is wrong. He has to be wrong. He has to be. I know how precious life is. I AM FULLY AWARE.
I arrived at the guild just as I heard cheering. "YURI! IT'S A BOY!" I smiled through my tears and quickly began to dry my face as I ran inside. Little did we know the future 3rd, 5th, and 8th guild master of Fairy Tail had just been born.
