"Did you hear, Carnis? There is this new guild named Fairy Tail, and the founder looks like a twelve year old!" May said laughing as she entered Carnis' cave. He barked in laughter.
"A little girl! That's silly. What magic does she have?" Carnis smiled.
"Hmm, I think it was Fairy Magic?" May thought for a second before agreeing with herself, "Fairy Magic."
"Fairy Magic? Well that's not what you hear everyday! May go bring them a house warming gift. Welcome them to Magnolia." Carnis ordered but May tried to protest as he smiled. Without realizing, May found herself in front of the Fairy Tail guild. She had her wooden violin from long ago, in her hands. She huffed as she knocked on the door. The door opened as she saw a small girl in an angel like costume. The little girl smiled as she swung the door open.
"Are you here to join the guild?" The little girl asked with joy in her eyes. May saw several strange fellows in the main hall.
"Oh no sorry, I'm just here to welcome you to Magnolia." May replied showing her violin to the little girl.
"Is that a violin?" The petite girl said plucking a string earning a growl from the tall girl.
"May I play you a song?" May asked slightly annoyed. The master of the guild nodded taking a seat by the stage.
May arms moved to the correct position and started to play a melody that made everyone smile and energized. May started to leap around the stage playing the upbeat melody. Mavis started to twirl around her guild mates, smiling with her bare feet on the ground. It was when the music turned into a fast beat tempo was when Mavis' eyes narrowed. Mavis felt tremendous power from May. When the tune slowly died out, May let her shoulders relax and took a bow. She never played a happy tune before, not since that day. May smiled and walked towards Mavis.
"I hope you enjoy it here Mavis." May said taking a leave towards the door before Mavis stopped her.
"Wait!" Mavis said gently, "Let's play a game."
May was currently standing in front of a short teenage girl. She listen to Mavis as she explained the rules. The game was called the game of truth. Of course May wanted to play this so called game, mainly because she never played any sort of games before. May was obligated to place a bet, because Mavis said that if she wins that May would join the guild. A man called Yury Dreyar placed a small glass cube between the two girls.
"You may go first, but I will win this game in one round." Mavis said with a smirk. When Mavis declared this statement May held out her hand to shake Mavis'. When Mavis touched May's hand, May saw Mavis' past and how she got here. May's left eye turned red, making Mavis to drop her smirk, and replaced in wonder.
"Thank you, but I suggest you go first." May replied crossing her arms over her torso.
"Alright then," Mavis thought before saying the same question she gave to Yuriy a while ago, " You blinked 57 times since you entered the sphere."
"Correct." May said and the sphere remained put. Yuriy, Precht, and Warrod looked in awe, all three of them could't beat Mavis so how can she?
"Now it is my turn. Mavis, you have been walking bare foot for 2,713 days." May said looking at Mavis to answer.
"True." Mavis replied while the sphere disappeared. Mavis clenched her palms together.
"Don't worry I have a feeling I'll be back." May said before disappearing through the guild's door.
May made her way throughout the city. She stopped in front of a similar tree. May lightly pressed her hand on the bark of the tree and closed her eyes. Memories flashed through her mind as she used touch of the 5 senses, Print.
A girl saw council members drag a boy by chains towards the direction of the large blossom tree. She tried to reach him; screaming his name, but he didn't respond. The boy had tears in his eyes ashamed to look up.
"Jasper please! I love you!" May screamed trying to get a hold of the boy. The sun's light caught a glimpse of May shiny diamond ring. In fact it was a ring Jasper gave May. It was her engagement ring.
The guards stopped in front of the tree where they first met, and started to set up the ropes and a wooden stage. May didn't want accept the fact that they were going to hang the only person she loved. She made her way through and lightly traced her thumb over Jasper's scar that covered his left eye. His light shirt exposed his black tattoo that was on his chest. He silently cried as hugged May around her waist. Today was the day that Jasper was to be sentenced with treason.
"Don't worry Jasper, I'll find a away out of this." May whispered into Jasper's blondish-brown hair. He closed his eyes and held May on his chest. "Don't do anything that would hurt yourself."
May made her way out of the town, and found herself in front of Carnis. Carnis met Jasper only once before, it was the time when Jasper came to ask for Carnis' blessing for their engagement. Of course, Carnis approved of Jasper very much. Jasper was presentable and trustworthy, a perfect match for May.
"Carnis I need your help. They're going to kill Jasper." May said while holding back tears. Carnis closed his eyes and silently spoke to May, " May, I can not help you. If Jasper did something wrong, then he must pay the consequences."
She couldn't believe what Carnis was saying. She thought that Carnis actually liked Jasper. May took a step away from Carnis as he demanded her to stay. She shook her head with tears falling from her eye. She ran away from the brown dragon and spirited away into the woods. By the time the sun began to set, a crowd began to form around the large tree where Jasper was about to be. May slowly made her away towards the large crowd. Jasper scanned through the dozens of head when he spotted his fiance. He stared at her worried. Soon after, council members began to make their way up the small wooden stage. A man with a long bearded face stood in front of the podium.
"This evening we will witness, Jasper Flash, be sentenced with Treason. He murdered three council members. With him gone our town will be a safer place!" The man shouted as the crowd started to cheer.
"That's not true!" May yelled from the back. Her black hair started to fly everywhere. A black aura started to form around her. Jasper feared for May's life and May herself. May's eye turned into a lifeless dark red. The dark side of the 5 senses began to unlock. Carnis never taught her the dark side, because it was very dangerous magic. Black smoke started to come out from her hand. A not so pleasant smile formed on her face as she tilted her neck in a creepy way. She made her way over to the bearded council man, she formed her fingers in the shape of a gun. Her index finger touched the center of his forehead down to his heart. With one word May whispered into the council's ear, " Bang."
The bearded man fell to the ground, paralyzed but not dead. Screams could be heard throughout the crowd. Jasper was calling out to May to wake up. May's eyes began to fog up but as soon as it cleared, she heard Jasper yelling ," Run!" Jasper kept chanting 'Run May!'. Guards started to go after May, as one pulled the Jasper's rope. Jasper falling yelling May's name.
Then and there, was the last thing May saw before everything went black.
May took a step back away from the tree. She slid her hands down the trunk of the tree. An old emotion swirled around her stomach. The same emotion she haven't felt in a long time, happiness. How many years has it been since she visited this tree? 100 years? No, it has to be more than that. May said a prayer for Jasper, when she felt an bright aura that lingered around her. It was similar to Jasper's but it was different. May snapped her head to the direction to the person, her hopes were high, hoping that it was Jasper. Her eyes darted to a man she saw back at the Fairy guild. Yury Dreyar.
"Oh um hello." May awkwardly said as he walked towards her. He flashed May a smile as he held out his hand. Yury wanted to know why she felt so different then most mages. Surely he noted that she's a sound mage, but he also wonder what was wrong with her left eye. He watched May as she sat down leaning back on the tree.
"May right?" Yury said as he stood in front of her. May nodded and patted the ground next to her. Yury took the spot and turned his head towards her, before he could ask her anything May spoke up.
"You're probably wondering what kind of mage I am, am I not correct?" May spoke to Yury without looking at him. Yury flinched at the coldness of her tone. Maybe it wasn't a good time to talk to her. Yury sucked in air before asking, " Correct."
May gave a sigh then answered, " I'm a dragon slayer. My dragon, Carnis, teaches me the 5 senses magic. You know the, touch, smell, hear, see, and taste."
"Oh so you used your magic when you preformed for us." Yury said remembering the performance. May nodded then continued talking, "The 5 senses is a not so great magic, because it has a dark side to it too. Like for hearing there is Human Subordination, that's why when people hear my music they get enhanced with a happy feeling or a sad feeling."
Yury remained silent as he processed the whole thing into his mind. Then what happened to your eye, why did it turn red? Yury thought of questions that he couldn't process all at once. Thinking about it made his head spin. May patted herself down before standing up. She looked at Yury then said, " This will be it for now. Until then."
May walked away from the tree and Yury as her silhouette could be seen, her long black hair blew backwards. He watch her disappeared into the darkness.
