Disclaimer: I am not as you have probably guessed the owner of Fairy Tail or it's character's in any way. They belong to the actual creators of Fairy Tail. I do however claim this plot and any characters I may make up for it.
Authors Note: This fanfiction is written in response to the request of a friend, (like all my fictions admittedly).
I will post each part as I get it typed up from the drafts in my notebooks.
Please note I am a slow updater, so don't be discouraged if you don't see new chapters, they will be coming, (eventually).
This fic is un-beta-ed, so be gentle. Constructive criticism is appreciated, Flames are not.
Juvia's problems had started the same way trouble usually starts for members of Fairy Tail; a run in with another mage whom inevitably got pissed off.
Now, granted, this particular mage had already been pissed off long before he ever came across Juvia and her friends from Fairy Tail.
As far as she was aware, this particular mage had been travelling through Fiore and turning his magic upon any mage who even looked at him in a way he didn't like.
This was particularly troublesome for the mages of Fiore because the effects of his magic would not wear off for at least six months after taking effect. Since his magic was the ability to screw up the magic of any mage hit by it, this left many mages across the country in a bind.
It wasn't necessarily that his magic had bad effects on all mages hit by it; more that anyone hit with it experienced some unforeseen change in their magic that they had to live with.
Levy for example, had been affected by the magic at the same time as Juvia, and found that all of her spells were now opposite. A fire spell would end up as an ice spell, protection spells were now offensive spells, and so on.
While it was an annoying effect, it was something Levy could easily adapt to and live with until it went away on its own.
Others however, (including Juvia herself), were not so lucky in how they were affected. One mage found himself slowly poisoning everyone around him, and another was mauled by the very animals she had summoned to assist her.
Juvia found that she was uncontrollably turning into her water form, liquefying into a puddle that she would be stuck, (and therefore die), as.
Fortunately, it had been discovered that there was a mage living on the far edge of Fiore who was capable of undoing the effects of the magic cast on them, and that she had successfully cured the mage who had been poisoning everyone.
The problem was however, that this had happened nearly 4 months before Juvia was affected, and meant that the mage with the cure had already gone home again.
At the rate Juvia found herself liquefying, there was no way that anyone would make it all the way to the mages home and back with them to the guild before Juvia went past the point of no return.
