Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail or any of its characters.
HI! Sorry It has been a while! I am going to revise some of the chapters that don't flow right, so bare with me.
Enjoy!
It had been three weeks since Gildarts had seen Miss Sonja, he was just starting to settle down from the shock at meeting the so called demon princess, when the guildhall's giant door open. A young raven haired woman stepped through it. At this time in the morning barely anyone was there. The entire guild hall was still in disarray from the party that was held last night. As she walked in she stepped over the broken chairs and tables that littered the floor. Gildarts's stomach dropped as she looked up, the first thing he noticed was the crystal blue eyes that seemed to see through him and into his soul, Miss Sonja had returned.
Miss Sonja looked up to see Mirajane and Gildarts staring at her. She put her best shy smile on, "Hello, I wanted to know if it was okay if I joined your guild?" She needed to appear as human as possible, not showing an amazing amount of power at first. She needed them to trust her, as a supernatural being first meetings always made her slightly uncomfortable.
"Of course hon, just come over here we will put the mark on you," Mirajane happily said. Sonja smiled at Mirajane's pleasant voice. Her voice was soothing, it helped Sonja feel much more relaxed.
Gildarts recognized her right away but he did not say anything because he knew that it was better for Fairy Tail to have her on their side then against them, the way Makarov described her destructive power was terrifying. He knew that if she wanted she could destroy the guildhall and some of its members without too much trouble. But even at her terrifying power he didn't really sense evil off of her, she seemed at most like an overprotective mother.
"Where do you want it and which color?" he heard Mirajane asking her.
Miss Sonja just pointed to the exact spot that where it was before when he removed it and told Mira that she wanted it black. At least she sticks to what she is used to he thought.
"What's your name sweetie," the beautiful bartender asked.
"Sonja Wulf" she said.
"It lovely to meet you, what magic type do you use?" she asked while getting the binder to write it down. Mirajane spent a couple seconds flipping through the binder to find an empty page. She paused at certain pages, some pages her eyes brightened and some her smiled seemed sad. Sonja could figure every member that ever joined Fairy Tail was in that binder, she is probably looking at old friends that have since left or had died of dangerous missions.
"Hell's magic," she figured it would be the easiest way to describe what she would do. Sonja could use any Underworld magic, from water from the River Styx to Hell's Fire.
"Hmm that's a new one, I can't wait to see what you can do," Mirajane said with her signature smile. Mirajane never asked too many details, if Sonja was worth having around she would see what she could do in time. Mirajane had watched many people come through the door asking too many questions could bring up memories that they would rather forget.
Sonja smiled, she could sense the ease that Mira had around the guildhall, and she knew that Mirajane would be a powerful foe. Because of that Sonja already respected her, she was the Demon of Fairy Tail but she was still humble and extremely well mannered, Sonja could understand having great power and not wanting to scare people away so easily. Behind the bar was a well-worn path that Mira would have walked on a daily basis, parts of the counter top were damaged from friendly battles between rivals. Instead of removing all of them some were still there as a reminder of how important this place was. It was home to all of the mages that are part of Fairy Tail, dead or alive.
"Would it be okay if I met the Master?" Sonja casually asked.
"Yeah, he isn't too busy today, I am Mirajane by the way, you can just call me Mira. I run the bar area and usually know everything so you can always ask me if you have a question about anything," Mira was smiling slightly as she was explaining herself.
Sonja nodded with a pleasant smile and at Mira's direction walked towards the office. She politely knocked on the door and waited for Gildarts to respond and allow her to enter.
"Come in," she heard through the closed door. She slowly opened the door to see Gildarts laying back on his office chair.
"Hi," she said with a little wave of her hand. She closed the door behind her to give them some privacy.
"Sonja Wulf? No miss to add to that?" Gildarts asked. He didn't quite understand way she would call herself something different.
"Yea, I am above anybody in this guild. We are all mages as far as I am concerned and I wouldn't want anyone to think I am better than him by calling me Miss Sonja, so Sonja is what I am going to use now," she rambled. Even Sonja didn't truly understand why she changed what she wanted to be called, just that she wanted to be accepting by the Fairy Tail members.
"I thought we had demon problems to worry about?" he asked.
"I took care of them, they will stay gone for about three years," she said. After a second she added, "I am sorry if I was a little too harsh before, I was expecting someone that was used to my strong personality," she apologized honestly. After she had fed on the demons she felt always better, the blood calmed down her nerves and allowed to process her thoughts in a more organized manner. But the blood was made her thirstier for it, every time she ate she grew hungrier for it. She has had to feed on her own kind since she left the underworld to protect Earth-land, she hated that she had to do that but accepted it as part of who she was.
He was surprised at her apology he could tell that there was something different about her today. She dressed different, she was wearing a black bikini top that was covered with a purple vest and a pair of white shorts that came down to mid thigh she had black combat boots on that came to back of her knees. She also had to short katanas strapped to her back making an x. But what surprised him was how at peace she seemed, during their last meeting she was distraught and angry now she could pass for a teenager walking in and having a conversation with what is now her guild master.
"I supposed you went to Makarov and asked about me?" she asked hoping she would not have to explain that she was the princess of hell.
"Yes, I have. I want to say I am happy to have you with us then against us," he said honestly.
She shrugged; most people would prefer that she was on their side.
"I want to thank you for allowing me to join the guild again," she said she knew Gildarts is powerful and that it would not be fun to make an enemy out of him.
"No problem, just how old are you," he asked like it had been on his mind for a while. He wasn't sure why but she made him curious about who she was. Being on the road a lot gave him the time practice to learn how to read people but she gave nothing away.
"Umm, I don't exactly know, see time travels different everywhere I go," she explained, "and at home time doesn't exist."
Gildarts shook his head. He was surprised that she was old enough to know the first Master but looked not much older than Cana.
"I want you to join a team when you go out on missions," Gildarts said, "I heard that you get carried away with your power, I want you to be paired up with Erza Scarlet. She is extremely loyal and strong enough to keep up with you."
"I highly doubt she is as strong as me but that is fine, I presume that Makarov told you that I can get carried away when I fight. But I don't like lying or keeping secrets so I would prefer if she made aware of what I am," Sonja said.
"No problem," he said as he finished the conversation.
Later that day….
"Erza, I need to talk to you," Gildarts said as he called her into his office.
Sonja used her magic to cover their conversation, while she did not mind that people knew who she was, she didn't like answering all of the questions that came with it.
Gildarts told Erza who and what Sonja was, Erza took it well. She tried not to act surprised but Sonja could tell by her heart rate and how she smelled that Erza was going to be a bit nervous to have her around. Looking at the great Erza Scarlet, the Titania of Fairy Tail, put Sonja in awe. Not many mages could keep up with her but with Erza's magic level and the passion what was clear in her eyes not even Sonja was completely sure that she would be able to win against Erza on a one-on-one battle.
"I want you to watch over her, she is strong so you won't have to protect her, I just want you to make sure she doesn't get out of hand while fighting," Gildarts said as he finished his description.
"I don't have a problem with that but I need to ask my other team members if they are okay with a new member joining and if they don't want her, I will leave the team," Erza answered.
Sonja felt kind of bad that she might make Erza leave people that she cared for to look after her. She was new and needed a babysitter and in return Erza would have to leave the people she trusted at her side. But before Sonja could say anything Gildarts nodded in agreement.
"She said that she will listen and before every fight you will tell her what percentage of her power she can use," said Gildarts, "only use one hundred percent if you think it is absolutely necessary."
And with that both Sonja and Erza left the Master's office, Sonja stopped Erza before they got down stairs, "Hey, I just wanted to say thanks and not thinking that I am absolutely crazy."
Erza smiled, she didn't want to believe that this small raven haired girl in front of her was capable of causing more damage than her whole team combined but she would follow the Master's orders and make friends with the goddess.
"Also can we keep what I am a secret for now? I want people to know but I want to tell them," Sonja asked.
"Yes, that makes sense," Erza retorted. Erza felt a tiny bit on distrust but it was mostly because she didn't know who this girl was. Erza would never judge anyone on their past, hers was dark enough, just on their character and now she wanted to know what the princess of hell was.
Elsewhere in the guild…
Natsu was sitting there at the bar asking Mira for something to drink; he had another dream about the mysterious girl that was in the guild a couple of weeks ago. She seemed so familiar to him, but because she did not have scent he could not place where she was from. He was lost in his thoughts when he heard Erza call him, Gray and Lucy over.
"This is Sonja Wulf, she is new here and Master asked me to pair up with her, I wanted to know if it was okay if she joined our team?" she stated matter of factly.
Both Lucy and Gray shook their head yes and greeted her. Natsu could not smell her which weirded him out, he was starting to think that maybe something was wrong with his nose but agreed to her joining their team.
"What time of magic do you use?" Lucy asked sweetly.
"Hell's magic," she said.
"What's that," Gray said with his eyebrow raised.
"I don't really know how to explain my magic, basically I can call of the depths of the Earth to make me physically stronger, I can call a friend of mine, Kizak, to help, along with some other things that you will see as we go on missions together," Sonja tried to explain her power to them but found it hard because there was not really a limit on what she could do.
"Do you have fire?" Natsu asked.
"Yeah but it is really hot," She said and she produced a small black flame in the middle of her hand.
Natsu ate it; she was surprised when it did not burn him.
"Oh, that was different," Natsu stated. Sonja was suddenly worried that her fire was gross.
"By the way, this is Gray Fullbuster," Erza said as she pointed to Gray, "he is an ice-make mage."
"I am Lucy Heartfilia," Lucy said introducing herself, "I am a celestial spirit mage." Sonja was quite impressed, there was not a lot of celestial mages left, but she was now concerned that one of the spirits would recognize her.
"Natsu Dragneel," Natsu said as he pointed to his chest, "fire-dragon slayer, and that's Happy." as he pointed to blue cat that was flying about.
Sonja's heart stopped when she heard that she would be placed on a team with Natsu, she knew his father, Igneel, well and she had made a promise to him that she would always protect his children and any other dragon-slayer children. She was happy that she would be working with him, he smelt familiar to her, like his father. Igneel was a very close friend of hers and he had sought her out and personally asked her to take care of Natsu when he disappeared. Even Sonja could not find him and given the fact that she could not be bound to just this universe it said something on to where Igneel had went.
"It is amazing to be able to work with such famous mages, thank you for allowing me to join your team," Sonja said with full honesty.
"Do you have a place to stay?" Lucy asked.
"Not yet," Sonja said as she shook her head.
"You are welcome to stay with me for a little bit if you want," Lucy offered with a smile.
Sonja knew about all of the mages in Fairy Tail. She knew that Lucy was one of the newest mages in Fairy Tail. She smiled at Lucy's offer, she knew that she was being polite and trying to make her feel at home. Sonja shook her head yes at the offer. While Sonja knew she had to be on guard while with Lucy, she was happy that the blonde was accepting of her.
