Writer's Notes- *snores*
Bellaruse- GET UP HUMAN!
Ross- *freaks out and falls out of bed* oh for gods sake Bellaruse, what is it!?
Bellaruse- You're late! It's almost time to post the next chapter to the story and you're busy taking a nap!
…...
Ross-Oh dear god not again, *rushes to computer* CRAP CRAP CRAP CRAP how could I have been so stupid, how could I have been so lazy?
Bellaruse- Now you see why I chastise you everyday.
Lucy- *yawns* are you two arguing again?
Bellaruse and Ross- YES! Now leave us alone.
Lucy- *sigh* I'm partners with a lunatic, and a voice inside his head. sorry about the wait. Ross's been having trouble filling out college applications, and he's been dealing with some family issues. But he's here now, and somewhat sane, but he's ready to join Fairy Tail.
Ross's POV
"Oh. My. GOD!" I said as I stood in front of the Fairy Tail guild. "It's so big!" i never thought that I'd actually be standing in front of the home of the strongest wizard guild in all of Fiore.
"Yep, impressive isn't it?" said Lucy as we walked through the entrance to the guild. "To your right we have our outdoor cafe, and over there is the gift shop." Note to self: as soon as I can, buy a T-Shirt. I'm surprised that there wasn't anyone was at the cafe it's such a beautiful day.
"Wow, this is so awesome. What else does the guild have?" I asked. I remember watching Fairy Tail back home before, but I never could remember every single detail, or maybe it;s on account of me dying and losing my memories.
"Well in addition to that, we have a pool behind the bar, and down in the basement we have a game room."
"*groans* ames are so trivial, I don't understand why you humans waste your time with them." said Bellaruse, who apparently still resides in both me AND Lucy's head. I mean I'm stuck with her for the rest of my life, but still.
"Ugh, can't you say something positive for on-"
"Lucy, been down that road, and it's a dead end"
"See this human is smart, he's actually learned something from me, now if only he can get the Dragon Slayer Roar spell right."
"Ross can you please get her out of my head? I don't people thinking i'm crazy from talking to a "voice in my head"" said the celestial mage
"Sorry Lucy I can't. In fact, i'm not even sure how the hell she got in your head in the first place"
"Annnnddddd the moment has past."
"Is this how she's gonna be talking to us from now on?" asked Lucy
"LUcy I met her when I had died, wandered through Purgatory, where I met a dead Snow Dragon, who'd been living there since her death along with the hundreds of other dragons over 400 years ago." When I was done, Lucy was staring at me with astonishment.
…..
"You were dead!?" asked asked. Oh yeah I can't believe I forgot about that. Idiot human
*fourth wall breaks* (What is that, 3 or 4 chapters? Is that the longest we've gone with breaking the fourth wall?"
"Oops" that's all that I could utter. I'm not exactly subtle am I ? Now I see why the people from my memories would sometimes call me blunt and aggressive.
"Oh my god, you're a zombie, I can't believe my new partner is a zombie. But it makes sense doesn't it?"
"Uh no it doesn't. Mind trying to explain it to me?" I asked.
"She thinks you're going to eat her brain by sneaking up to her in the middle of the night when she's maybe she's got a thing for what I believe you humans would call a 'drop dead' gorgeous human boy."
Lucy- ?
Ross-0_0
"My my Bellaruse, what a vivid imagination you have." I said clutching my head from the ridiculousness hiding within that comment.
"What did I miss?" asked Lucy. I whispered what I had thought Bellaruse meant, and then she started to freak out.
*shivers* the voice in my head isn't real. The voice in my head isn't real" Lucy kept repeating the same thing over and over again for a good solid minute.
"Great you broke her Bellaruse, are you happy now?" I asked.
"Good, that'll make her much easier to train, especially when we get to freezing her body."
"Please don't tell me Lucy heard that" I said in my head, "Look at her, she's already freaked out enough as it is" I looked back at Lucy, seeing that she was still shivering with fear.
"Don't worry, she can't hear what goes on inside of your head." Oh thank god. Now with all that out of the way, I managed to calm Lucy, claiming that Bellaruse was controlling my ability to speak, which she was quick to accept. "So Lucy, shall we?" I asked, pointing my hand to the main hall.
"Let's do it. Ross the SNow Dragon Slayer" she said opening the doors to the main hall, "Welcome to Fairy Tail: The rowdiest wizard guild in all of Fiore" As the doors swung open, we were greeted with, not with the loud, unnecessary thrashing of my future fellow guild mates, but instead with the moaning and groaning of all the guild members. Some were laying all over the tables, others were nailed to the bar, knocking back drink after drink.
"This is the rowdiest wizarding guild in all of Fiore? The same guild that single handedly took down the Phantom Lord guild? A member of the third Balam Alliance? Everyone here is acting really sluggish and weak, what a gyph" I said in outrage.
"Hmmm It's funny."
"What's Funny LUcy?"
"You pray one day that this guild would take one day to settle down and truly relax for at least one day, but then when it happens, it seems so strange to you" she said.
"Guess that's how you find out what's truly normal for you. So why's everyone acting like a bunch of sloths?"
"Ahhh Lucy you're back, and I see you've brought a new recruit." I recognized that voice, although I couldn't see where it was coming from.
"Who said that?" I asked
"Down here young man" I looked down and saw an extremely short elderly man, wearing a shirt covered in floral printing and brown shorts. He was also carrying a large jug of ale "Pleased to meet ya"
"Ross this is Master Makarov, Guild Master of Fairy Tail, and one of the Ten WIzard Saints" said Lucy. I crouched down to Makarov's level and glanced at him. I waited a moment, and started patting him on the head.
"Hmmm, strange, you're a lot shorter than I thought,, ugghhh" I said standing up, shaking the sweat coming off of the master's head from my hand, "and a lot sweatier."
"Hey, don't get any of that on me, that's disgusting" Lucy said in protest.
"I'm surprised that you two aren't sweating, today's one of the hottest days of the summer." said the Master.
"It is?" said me and Lucy in unison. I started sniffing my body: head, armpits, feet, but no part of me reeked of month old dragon. "Nope, I don't smell anything, and I have a good sense of smell."
"Maybe your Cold Immunity gives you some kind of resistance to heat. Maybe you just give off an natural Aura of coolness." said Lucy. Master Makarov raised an eyebrow to that theory, so he approached me. When he was a few inches away from me, he got down on his knees and let out a sigh of relief.
"Ahhhh, sweet relief" he said.
"Hmmm, looks like that proves the theory correct. This is awesome I'm a human cooling fan" I said
"So, now with that out of the way, what can I do for you….?"
"Ross, Ross Winterheart. I came here because I wish to join the guild." I said.
"Your last name is Winterheart?" asked Lucy.
"Not exactly Lucy, in fact I never had a real last, so I came up with one."
"But why Winterheart?" asked Lucy
"Well I'm a Snow Dragon Slayer, and snow is symbolic for Winter, so I went with Winterheart." I said, before a huge burst of ale hitting my face.
"You're a DRagon SLayer?" shouted Master Makarov.
"Uhhh yes, why is that so shocking?" I asked like I didn't know anything, thinking about the millions of reasons why Makarov had for freaking out.
"Fairy Tail already has three Dragon Slayers, one of which is my former teammate, and he's caused more than enough trouble for the guild." That's an understatement.
"Really? I mean I knew there were other Dragon Slayers besides me, but THREE in the same guild? I'm surprised that the guild is still standing" I said.
"*sigh* Now i'm sweating for a completely different reason." said Makarov. *moans* I hate to see old people suffer, it wounds my heart.
"Here, this should do the trick" I held out my hands over the guild master's head and almost instantly, a silver magic circle appeared beneath my hands as I chanted, "SNOWY AURA". Out of the circle came streams of snow that began to surround Master Makarov. The snow began to form an Aurora like veil around him, which instantly rejuvenated the old guild master.
"Amazing, I feel much better thank you young man." he said gratefully, "Now let me get a better look at you" I crouched down back to his level and he examined me. Well, by examined, I mean he just looked at my face. "Hmmm, you seem to have potential, and you say that you are a Dragon Slayer?"
"I can guarantee that master, I witness his abilities first hand up on Mt. Hakobe. He's who he says he is" said Lucy.
"I see, so you were the one causing all of that ruckus for the past 6 months?"
"Yeah" I said rubbing the back of my head with a bit of guilt "Sorry about that, I may have gotten a little carried away with my magic. I hope I didn't scare anyone"
"Not at all. You may have gained the attention of the Magic Council, but then again, you're not the first member of this guild to gain that type of unwanted attention"
"Wait, member of the- Does that me I can join the Guild?" Master Makarov extended his left hand out to me, so I reached mine out to his. For a quick second, I didn't understand why we weren't using our dominant hands, but then came a light that blinded my eyes and engulfed my hand. When the light had subsided, I released my grip and saw that the back of my hand was now adorned with a golden Platinum Fairy Tail symbol
"Welcome to Fairy Tail, Ross Winterheart. I expect to see great things from you"
And Then….
"TO NEW PARTNERS" I said chugging a mug of ale in my left hand. I managed to pound back at least 4 pint of ale, nowhere near the same drinking level as Cana, but still. This is just so great, I'm a member of Fairy Tail, it just seems too good to be true.
"So, how's it feel to be part the family Mr. Winterheart?" asked Lucy, only halfway done with her first pint.
"Feels great, hopefully the rest of the guild will be just as great."
"Trust me, the guild may seem overwhelming at first, but once you get used to it, you wouldn't want to be anywhere else." No I wouldn't. We spent the next few minutes going over plans for future missions, how to split any reward money we receive, but we had trouble deciding on this specific topic.
"You wanna form a team?" she asked sounding astonished
"Sure why not? Is it because of what happened with your former team?"
"No, thanks for bringing that up by the way" she responded in a hissy tone.
"SOrry" I said hanging my head down in shame.
"*sigh* don't be, you didn't mean it. It's just that it's a surprise that you'd want to form a team so early on. I mean most of the guild members are already on a team or prefer working alone. Plus, I thought of you as the lone wolf type of mage" said Lucy
"*chuckles* I'm not gonna lie, I thought the same thing a long time ago, but it was sooo boring. I mean I prefer solitude, but still, it's good to have a few friends close by."
"Hmmm" mumbled Lucy as she took another sip from her jug, "Well I wouldn't say completely alone, you know, since you've got that stick in the mud lizard stuck in your head"
"Remind me to haunt her dreams later human" said an annoyed Belarus
"Little bit, but I can block her out. Back on topic, just because you make it seem impossible doesn't mean it is. There's gotta be someone here who's looking to be on our team, what about the-" Suddenly my instincts were telling me that something was amiss, like someone was watching me from the shadows. Then before I knew it, something came whisking past my ear, lodging itself in the table.
"what the hell was that?" Asked Lucy, who had quickly ducked under the table for cover.
"Not sure" I picked it up and saw that it was a metal knife. I bit into it, "Aww, damn" breaking one of my teeth in the process, but nothing a little Cryo healing could fix later on. "Iron, but this isn't normal iron. Lucy, you said there were three other Dragon Slayers in this guild?"
"Yeah, why?"
"What type of magic do they use?" Before she could answer, I heard something coming right at me again, luckily this time I was on my feet, and I caught the dagger with my fist.
"So I guess they can turn even a Snowman into a Dragon Slayer." Walking towards me was a tall and muscular young man with long, spiky black hair. He also had metal studs embedded in his face and his forearms, and HIs guild mark was located on his left shoulder.
"*sniffs* oh I see, you're the Iron Dragon Slayer."
"Yep, and the name's Gajeel. I suggest you remember it"
"Arrogant much?" I said approaching him and offering him my hand, "Ross. Ross Winterheart." Surprisingly, he shook my hand, with a lot of force. I mean a lot, nearly broke my hand.
"Oh come on, are you really THAT weak" he said lifting me up off of the ground. Without rational thought, which had been replaced with the extreme feeling of pain, I let out a torrent of Snow from my mouth, and Gajeel dropped me onto the ground, with Lucy running towards me. "*laughs* I knew you were a real Dragon Slayer. Guess that settles it. Lucy, i'm joining your team"
"You. Wanna team up Gajeel? Don't you usually work alone?" asked Lucy
"I do, but I heard about what Salamander did and thought you might wanna work together. Who knows, maybe we'd be able to take on Salamander and his team." Wow that was fast, never expected Gajeel Redfox, aka Black Steel, to want to work with someone, or what came next when Gajeel said, "Oh and Snowman, I have something to say: Duck"
"Duck?" I asked, when suddenly.
"GRAY-SAMA!" yelled a woman's voice. I didn't get a good look, but I think I knew who tackled me by the sight of a blue blur.
Same Time, Mt. Hakobe, No POV
Smoke grew from the hole where Bellaruse's sanctuary once resided, when a dark figure began to approach it. Nothing could be made of the figure, save for the fact that he was wearing a tattered white cloak. The figure descended into the now ruined chamber, scrounging the burned contents for something. Failing to find anything useful, he threw the chamber's ruined contents out and re-emerged. The wind began to blow, blowing the the figure cloak off of his face, revealing that half of his face that had the appearance of a dragon: Blue scales, Yellow dragon eyes, and sharpened teeth.
"So a new Snow Dragon Slayer has come. Where are you" he said, breathing cold air out of his mouth.
Writer's Notes- Oooooooo, ominous isn't it? Or not, it's up to you guys. I thought it was when I came up with it. Anyway sorry about the wait, I promise I'll get the next chapter out on time next time. So until then, BYE BYE :)
