Fairy Tail - Stating of the year or a place

Summary: I was born into this world alone, knowing nothing but fear and despair. All that changed when he found me; he took me in and gave me a purpose, a reason to live for. It was because of him I was able to become strong, it was through his teachings that I might be able to achieve greatness. He was my teacher and my father, the dragon of lightning, Anorak.

Center of Oshibana Town Year – X784

A teen was walking into the train station of Oshibana as he prepared to meet his friends who he had not seen for the past seven years. "Oi, I wonder what's taking those two so long I haven't seen them in four years and they decide to be late." The teen stared at the station clock as he heard a train beginning to pull in. "That must be them, knowing those two I should probably go make sure they're not lying on the floor or hanging out the window vomiting." The train made a complete stop in the center of the station as the doors opened people began to pour out of the train until there were only two people left. One was lying down on the floor in between the train and the station floor while the other was leaning halfway out of the train window and each of them had pale faces.

Ryouta began to walk towards the center of the station marveling at how nothing has changed in the past seven years he has been gone. Ryouta looked back at the train and noticed Yui was still hanging out of the train window. Ryouta walked towards Yui and pulled her out of the window and placed her on the ground as she began to instantly feel better.

"Yes, oh ground how I have missed thee so." Yui began kissing the ground as she had tears in her eyes which also drew the attention of all the people in the station. Ryouta waited until she stopped kissing the ground before talking to her.

"Hey do you see him anywhere because I don't see him at all." Ryouta looked at Yui as she put her hand on her forehead and searched around for their friend.

"I don't see him, he said he would be here too and he's not the kind of person that likes to be late." Yui continued to look around for their "missing" friend. When all of a sudden they hear a voice from behind them that says, "It's not that I don't like being late it's just that I was born to be on time because as I've told you before"

"Like life time can't be stopped." Both Ryouta and Yui said in unison as they turned around to give Ren a big hug. "Hey buddy nice to see you; it's been a while huh." Ryouta looked at Ren and noticed a slight difference in him but couldn't figure it out. Twenty minutes later the four were outside of the train station and Ren had begun to speak.

"Well guys I have a surprise for you, and I think you're going to like it a lot," Ren began leading the group in and around Oshibana Town pointing out the things that were added since they had left seven years ago. Finally they had reached a forest which had a single path leading down it. "Ok guys, now before we continue on I want to know if you guys had heard of guilds or not while you were on your travels. Ryouta and Yui looked at each other before nodding and looking at Ren so he could continue talking. "Well remember before you left you told me two things." Ren looked at Ryouta hoping he would remember.

"Well if you could tell me what I said then I might remember it." Ryouta made a sheepish grin and looked at Ren.

"Baka, if you can't remember than I'll tell him. The first thing that the idiot over there said was that he was going to give you most of the gems from his cave before he left and the second thing is that the moment him and I came back from our training we would try to join a guild." Yui smiled and then gave Ryouta an evil glare.

"Yui you once again have amazed me with your excellent memory. Also you were correct in both things that Ryouta had said. Now with all the gems that Ryouta had gave me I was able to do two things. The first thing I did was that I gave the poor people of Oshibana enough to get a home and pay for it for a while and the second thing I did was that I built a guild." Ren pulled back a bush that revealed a giant structure that looked almost like a knight's castle and on the top of the guild was a symbol of two swords crossing each other in an X pattern. Both Ren and Ryouta's mouth dropped to the floor in a comical fashion and even Suguro looked impressed.

"Ren, how long did it take to make this?" Yui looked at Ren with a quizzical look.

"I think it took about maybe five to six years to finish it, also another thing is that we only have one member and that person is the guild master. His name is Maxis Strange and his magic is quite… unique."

"Is he strong, because if someone's going to be my Guild Master they better be stronger than me?" Ryouta stared at Ren with a hungry look in his eyes that Ren knew all too well.

"Sorry Ryouta but I can't have you attacking the new Guild Master; anyway he's out finalizing the guild with the magic council as we speak." Ren laughed at the look on Ryouta's face as he started to pout with displeasure at not being able to fight. "But if you're looking for a fight I specifically asked for an arena inside the guild so that if anyone wanted to duke it out we wouldn't have to worry about wrecking the guild hall." Ryouta's face beamed at the fact that he could fight anyone he wanted without getting yelled at for doing it.

"Wait, who am I going to fight if the only member is away on business?" Ryouta started to run around looking to see if there were people hiding when Ren couched slightly into his hand. "Oi Ren, are you ok that cough didn't sound normal?"

"Well you could always fight me you Baka or did you forget that I could use magic as well." Ryouta looked at Ren with a surprised face before he burst out laughing. "Hey why are you laughing are you trying to say I'm weak or…" Ren's train of thought stopped suddenly before Ryouta interrupted him.

"No, it's not that I think you're weak you're far from being weak, but you're not one who usually likes to fight unless you need to." Ryouta stopped laughing and looked at Ren to see him looking at him with a depressed look.

"Well things have changed you know and I want to show you just how strong I've gotten anyway." Ren began walking towards the guild with his arms crossed. "I'll show Ryouta that I'm even stronger than him." Ryouta kept staring at Ren while he muttered to himself and disappeared into the guild.

"Yui, do you know why he was acting like that?" Ryouta looked at Yui while scratching his spiky yellow hair.

"I think he just wants to show us how strong he's become because if you remember when we were little we would always beat him easily, now he has a chance to show us how strong he's gotten over these past seven years." Ryouta stared at the guild for a while before finally choosing to go inside the guild.
