The journey to Fairy Tail
AN: the reason why this chapter is late, even though I started this chapter before a few weeks ago, was because I was trying to sort some personal stuff out. It is still ongoing but I should be fine next year or so. I am also trying to set up a Etsy store – NeonNirvanaDigital – but there are some issues with that as well as stuff getting in my way.
Another issue that I am starting to have, is the amount of ideas coming into my head resulting in chapters for this story getting delayed. If you want to check them out then you can do.
I haven't decided on the pairing yet, or if there is going to be one. With Lisanna being a lesbian with a male soul entering her body, a male pairing wouldn't sit right. if anyone has any suggestions and a valid reason for it, then it would be appreciated. One thing to be clear, it shouldn't be Lucy because I am not that fond of her. (But if you want it to be Lucy, give me a valid reason as well.)
Chapter 4 – Where are we?
I would say that it has been a couple of hours since we departed from home. I had on my trusted pocket dimension rucksack bag, or what could be used as one, and trotted along. Mira and Elfman, were both reluctant to put their bags in to mine. I even offered so that the traveling could be easy, but Elfman was very adamant that he wanted to keep his because he didn't want to make his little sister carry his bags. Mira, just said no, and nothing else, so I left her.
At the moment. We have no clue where we even are.
We are in a forest, which we are quite lucky because of the trees blocking out majority of the sunlight. The ground is special, with there being less trees having exposed roots to make the trails harder. There is also a lazy river to our left, which Mira decided that it was best to travel near so that we have a water source. We didn't have to use it yet, even though we had a couple of stops so that we could catch our breaths and formulate plans.
The one thing I am not really bothered about, is how we get to Fairy Tail. I'm not sure that Makarov took us in or if we made our way there but one thing I made clear to myself was that I am going at it my own pace. And with that comes with the potential of messing up canon.
In the majority of self insert fanfiction I read, the oc would get paranoid over canon. Like things happening that didn't happen in canon or this event came earlier than it should. Or even the fact that they would need to train harder to defeat Acnologia.
What's the point of it? If you know the events, then that's ok. I am not part of the team that the trouble happens to. Even if I was my own person. How does that affect me. I'm not even in half of the things that happen. I'm chillin.
The things that will be affecting me would be the S class trials, maybe, the 7 year timeskip, I can't remember if Lisanna was part of the GMG games but the dragon invasion and to skip some, the Alvarez arc as well as Acnologia's attack.
Other than that. What big thing needs my attention. even when we fight the beast or whatever, that isn't going to do nothing because I wouldn't be saying what Lisanna said to him.
So, I can just chill, and gain strength for my own sake. Be powerful, to be rich, to do nothing. Simple.
"Lisanna, are you listening?" I come out of my thoughts from the voice of my big sister.
"No, sorry, I was lost in thought." I reply, sheepishly. Mira just sighs as I giggle at the poor girl.
"I was asking if you think that we will manage to make it out of the forest. Elf thinks that we will, which I believe, but what do you think?" she asks me. I ponder at the question. Looking around at where we are and trying to find my bearing.
"I have no idea." I conclude, making Mira huff out in disappointment.
"You could have said that we will." She says, before continuing on walking.
"Well, why would I say that we will come out of the forest, when I don't even know where we are?" I question her, what sounded like a valid reason a 9 year old child would have.
"It's called wishful thinking. If we think that we will be coming out of this forest in the next hour, then it will happen." She explains to me, exaggerating a sigh after she said that.
We carried on walking through the forest. I didn't mind the new scenery and was quite happy just enjoying the peace and quiet that it gave. Mira wasn't that fond of the trek that we were doing, but she didn't say anything because of how much I was enjoying it. Big up to her yeah for being a big sister even though her little sister has been taken over by an older man. Saying it like that does sound a bit sus, not gonna to lie, but unfortunately there is nothing I can do in this situation.
With how long we have been walking, and with hardly resting up, night has come upon us and we finally take time to relax and camp up.
"Alright Elfman, we will stop here for the night." Mirajane called out to Elfman who dropped his bag instantly and crashed to the floor.
"Oooh, finally we can rest." Elfman shouted out in glee. Taking it as a dig towards me I presume.
"Humph, I'm sorry that I was having fun exploring the new scenery. I will make sure not to have fun tomorrow morning." I say to Elf in a false hate tone. Elfman the little ten years old that he is, took me seriously and started to sweat profusely.
"N-n-no-no Lisanna, that wasn't why I was happy. It was because I was using this time for training with the heavy backpack that I have. Nothing else." He tried to reason with me.
The poor lad was in tears thinking that he actually hurt my feelings. So I had to relent, and pat his shoulder to get his attention.
"Don't worry Elf, I believe you." I smile at him, getting him to look up at me in shock.
"Y-you lie. You aren't upset." He accused.
"Why should I be upset. I'm just disappointed that you only thought about yourself throughout this journey that's all. Have you thought about how tired big sis Mira must be feeling since she is the eldest." My comment led Elfman in a frenzy. Looking around for Mira as I move away from him to get my stuff ready.
Setting up camping was a blast. Not gonna lie, in my previous life, I did camping whilst I was in college and had to make my own tent for the troops. It was the task that no one wanted to do because it was hard and a tedious task. I sacrificed sorting out the fire to make the tent for a group of 6.
But anyway, setting up the tent was fun still because of how Mira and Elfman had no clue on what to do.
Mira looked at the manual that was provided to set the tent up but failed as she didn't understand how the steps worked. The sight of her frustration made me giggle which further infuriated Mira. I took over from her which Mira happily allowed. I am not sure if it was because Lisanna used to read camping books, but Mira didn't even say how dangerous it was. Which was upsetting seeing how little care for my safety she took into account. But I am not that bothered by it, so I just went and continued to what I was doing.
So yeah, I made the tents, Elfman got some berries and some rabbits to eat, Mira sorted the camp fire and we sat around it as the fire was lit, happily eating the food as we enjoyed the night sky.
"Ugh, how can people eat this stuff when they go out camping. This tastes horrible." Mira complained as she bit into her rabbit.
"I don't think this is bad Big sis Mira." Elfman thought otherwise and continued to munch on his rabbit.
"It's because you are a boy, Elfman. Otherwise, you wouldn't be sitting there enjoying your food." Mira replied in a huff.
"I don't mind the rabbit either, big sis. So, I think that the problem is you." I say, agreeing with Elfman and enjoying the taste of my rabbit.
Mira shouts in frustration, making me and Elfman laugh at her. her cheeks become red from embarrassment and silently continues to eat the rabbits that have been cooked.
We continued to eat our food with idle chit chat, talking about what we have seen throughout our small walking through the forest. Well, it was mostly me who went on an on with the new plants and small animals about.
And with that, we finished off our last berries and sat back and watched as the fire flickered into the darkness.
Chapter 5 – Opening the heart
"Come on Lisanna. It's time to get cleaned up."
"Yes miss."
Following behind Mira, we make our way towards the lazy river to have a bath. It hasn't been long since we have eaten, and Elfman decided that he will go bed early and then have a bath once he has woken up. It didn't matter to me, but Mira went in on Elfman like a concerned mother. Telling him, what time to get up, how long to stay in for, this and that. It was funny seeing Elfman be treated like a soldier.
We finally made it to the bank of the river and slowly stripped ourselves out of our clothes before folding them up and putting them to one side. After that we dipped our toes into the water to test the temperature.
"I think the temperature is good Lisanna, so it's fine to go in." Mirajane says to me.
"Yes, big sis." I respond before following after her into the water.
The level of the water wasn't too bad. Covering my chest and resting below my neckline whereas for Mira it rested just below her chest. Mira chose to rest her back against the side of the river whilst I chose to lean against a rock that was sticking out from the middle of the river.
The good thing about this is that the flow of the river gently nudged me out of place yet at the same time held me in place so that I do not drift off downstream. It was quite therapeutic in a way which I enjoyed. 10/10
"You seem like you are enjoying yourself Lis," Mira stated, making me open my eyes and to look at her.
"Yeah I'm enjoying this a lot. Quite soothing." I respond, getting a hum reply from Mirajane.
We settled into the water for a while not speaking or even making any sounds, before Mira broke the lovely silence and asked me a question.
"Why a guild."
"Ay?" I reply, not quite catching what she said. I heard the movement of the water and then felt her presence near me.
Blinking my eyes open, I see Mirajane right next to me, her arm just making its way over my shoulder, and her bringing me closer to her body.
"Why did you say to go to a guild at home? We never had any mages come through our village and what ever news that we have of them, came from the newspapers." She asked me again.
I nestled myself into her embrace, she made sure to keep here demonic arm away from me, and I contemplated an answer. It was awhile but I managed to gain a reason that I would think Lisanna would have if I wasn't in her body.
"Mum always read me stories." I start off with, delving deep into the memories of Lisanna.
"Every time it was bedtime, she would always told me many stories of what it would be like having magic. Mum and Dad were never mages, I don't think they had the ability to use powers, but mum always seemed to love magic." I stop for a second to get my breath, Mira not saying anything but just holding me tight.
"The idea of going to a guild was because I believe that they can help your case. Mum had a story that she had the powers of a slime and she could take over anyone and anything, and shower us with all the jewels and all the expensive stuff without anyone knowing. It was funny with all the powers she thought of.
But sadly, Mum and Dad died when the demon struck the church. So I wanted to, in a way, join a guild in memory of Mum."
After I finished, I never noticed the tears falling down Mira's eyes when I looked up at her. to me I had no such emotion as I didn't experience the love between Lisanna and her parents.
Obviously, I am older, but still, the memory did pull some strings in me to feel a bit emotional.
"Oh Lisanna. You're growing up to fast." Mira finally says, giving me a huge warm hug. I sink into the feelings and give her one back, cos I she needs the comfort.
"I think I need to experience life more outside of our village to grow up further." I respond.
"Can't you just stop growing and just let me protect you like the older sister should?" Mira asks me. crying further with the thought of losing her younger sister.
"I think after seeing Mum and Dad die, we all grew up on the day. I think you just seen the change in me now because we aren't stuck inside our house anymore. I mean Elfman has been doing cleaning the house. When did he even lift a broom before they died." I reply to Mira. I try to give a reality check on Mira because from the way I have been seeing her, she has this fear that we, meaning me and Elf, need protecting from the world as well as from her. which is upsetting.
Mira is still a young girl and has still got a great life ahead of herself to enjoy. If we manage to get to Fairytail, then I cannot wait for her to finally settle in and be happy with the power that she possesses.
Mira refused to speak and from the subtle shaking of her body, I can tell that she is holding back tears. I don't look up at her and allow her the relief that she thinks I don't notice it. I just further cuddle up to Mira for comfort so that she knows I am unaware to what her turmoil is.
We continue to sit in this position, me enjoying the waves as well as Mira's body comfort. We do idle chit chat and I try my best to lift up her spirits, which I like to believe that I succeeded somewhat.
Mirajane left the river 30 minutes from our small talks. I decided to relax away because I enjoyed the sensation of the river hitting my body. I enjoyed taking 2 hour baths back on Earth because of the same reasons, but feeling the natural flow of the water just somehow hits different.
But with it being not long since Mira left, I should probably get out and get to bed.
I proceed to swim to the shore and ponder a bit as I look at clothes.
"Ah shit, I forgot my towel at the camp." I realise, shivering a bit from the natural flow of the wind hitting my wet body.
Annoyingly, I am still 9, so my body hasn't developed to form a chest to put on a bra. So annoyingly, the easy thing I can do, was to just put on the underwear I have, and huddle my clothes in my hands to try and get enough heat.
It hasn't been that long since I set off before I heard a noise of a twig snapping and the bushes rustling. I went up to the area where I heard the noise and started looking around. Obviously, my mind didn't clock how a snake or some rabid creature would come towards me and kill me. but when the thought came into my head, I ignored it as I already started moving the bushes around.
"Where the fuck is this noise coming from?" I question to no one, the rustling noise now starting to piss me off. Not long after, I managed to catch a site of the creature, giving me hope and speed up my search.
A few seconds later, I come across a rabbit staring at me for no reason.
"don't tell me you can talk as well?" I question it. A logical thing seeing as though I saw a thicc spider mami who offered me her soul. The rabbit just squeaked or whatever it does, making me blow a sigh of relief.
"Ah thank God. Was gonna get another heart attack." I say to myself.
Stood at an impasse, I just look at the rabbit as it looks at me, whilst nibbling on some leaf. I ponder a thought before an idea came into mind.
"Hey, little guy." I stay, getting its attention from the flinching of his ear.
"Let me use your soul to take over, yeah. No harm no foul." I ask it, smiling at the end to show it some comfort. I don't think this will work as I am unsure of how Lisanna actually was able to gather her souls apart from her asking for consent.
To my surprise however, the Rabbit, squeaks and nods surprising me a little.
"Oh, is that a yes?" I try and confirm, to which it nods again.
With that, I stick my hand out and place it on top of its head and channel my magic.
[Full Body Take Over]
Casting the spell that Elfman used to get the beast, I think, I manage to form my magic circle and watched as it successfully took the rabbits soul.
The sensation of the take over was weird. I could feel my magic go through the whole body of the rabbit and finally meet at, what I think it was, the core of the rabbit before consuming the whole thing. I think that it was successful due to the rabbit willing to sacrifice itself and hold no resistance.
It is quite upsetting, not gonna lie, I was childish in asking a defenceless rabbit to die just for my own amusement, but nothing can be done now. But it is what it is.
Chapter 6 – Is this Fairy Tail?
Nothing much happened once I got to the camp. Elfman and Mira went to sleep luckily for me I was able to put on some fresh clothes without worry.
It took a while for me to go to sleep. Too busy thinking about the future of my life.
One thing I know that is clear, is how I am not gonna be with Natsu, Erza, Lucy and Grey. I may go with them or ask them to tag along if it is needed but, I do not want to get into all that mess. I am not a fighter and I don't plan on becoming a main fighter. However, I am still going to have to learn to fight just for my own safety as well as for the missions that I hope to take. One thing that hasn't lost on me is that I am now a female. I know I am going to be cute as fuck in the future. The amount of nonces, predators, rapists that I may counter coming after me isn't lost. I don't believe that Fairy tail will be the same anime/manga that I know. I am inside a real world now with the plot changing with my interference.
I look towards Mirajane as we continue to walk in the forest. At the moment, she has worry and a fear for the safety of me and Elfman. But once she was in Fairy Tail, that's when she was ok to relax and finally gain martial arts and fight. The difference between me and Mirajane of being in a female body, is that I am realistic, and I know how beautiful both of us are. She doesn't know this obviously, but being a guy and knowing the type of world Earth was, this won't be much different in that aspect.
"What are you thinking about Lis?" Elfman asked me, snapping me out of my thoughts. "Ah nothing, just thinking about what guild we will come across and if they will be friendly towards us." I reply back.
Elfman smiles and looks up to the sky. "I'm thinking the same thing. I haven't seen any members of a guild come through our village before so I am hoping that we get accepted with kindness. I am scared if we end up meeting a dark guild first and get roped into doing a lot of bad stuff." Elfman says with frown.
"We will be fine." Mira speaks up, the first time after we set off. Mirajane always looked deep in thought so me and Elf just kept talking among us. "Many dark guilds would have a base in less populated areas, like these woods." She explained. Huh I never knew that.
" Ayo, I think it is best we turn back, don't you think Elfy?" I suddenly say. If there is a chance of dark mages in these woods, then it is better off for us to turn back around and go somewhere else.
"R-r-right. we should go back to the village and go a different route, staying on a path where there is open fields and butterflies flying abou- OW OW OW" Elfman agrees, before Mira came and twisted his ear.
"Now, Now. You wanted to go this way Lis, so then it is best to stop making excuses and continue forward." Mira commanded sternly. "Also, there won't be any dark guilds because then the mages would have known that there are people who are near their bases." She finishes.
Ah, I forgot that there are senses about who could sense ethernano. Not gonna lie, I thought that Naruto only had sensors.
I don't say anything back to Mirajane, neither did Elf, but a small smile was seen on her face which made me happy.
We continued on going, not saying much but just enjoying the quietness of the forest, before Mira through her arm out to the side signalling us to stop.
"Guys, I think we found a town." She calls out, getting me and Elf, to walk besides her an see some houses just up ahead of us. In silence, we ran ahead to see more of what the town had to offer and for us to hopefully find a place to stay before going ahead to find a guild.
A couple of minutes went by and the sites became bigger, and the end of the forest started to approach us.
"I think we can finally get some proper food." Elf calls out, out of breath from the running we just did.
"It's better to look around the town first before we think of anything after." Mira says not looking to be tired at all.
"I think it's best to rest first we do anything." I say tired as fuck and ready to drop dead.
Not long after, we managed to make it outside the forest and stop ourselves on the edge of the hill, overlooking the town in its glory.
None of us said anything. drinking in the site of the town below us. Shops look to be striving, people looking happy and serene over their lives. The merchants looking on with smiles on their faces. The clean air wafting around us, and the subtle sounds of the ocean in the far distant.
One building in particular stood out to us, making linger upon it longer than it was needed.
It was Elfman who broke the silence and snapping us back to the present.
"Is this Fairy Tail?"
AN: let me know what you guys think.
I don't mind criticism, or comments on what can be done better, my writing is dead but I can learn from it. This story isn't abandoned but will be updated as I am able to.
Let me know how you think of the chapters, I'm trying to break apart what I write so I don't write 10k words.
Also, responding to comments; Lisanna will have combatant souls. It will be for standard missions and what ever comes along. SI Lisanna goals isn't to become strong to face the canon events, she is just going to get strong and just live like a barmaid at times.
And second, my take on the take over animal soul, is that the soul is genderless, and is put into a body that is either female or male. If I was to delve into exploring the sex more and involve a dong, then I am not sure on that front.
But anyway, thank you for reading this story as well as my other ones. And if you want to see me progress with my side project, then follow my Instagram account -NeonNirvanaDigital- if you are interested in art. I am also thinking of starting a with the digital art I make as well as some 18+ art.
