May scowled at herself for not knowing this sooner. She raced, dodging the trees and civilians who past her, most gave her a second glance; especially a certain small man wearing a funny orange suit. The strange man was holding hands with a small boy with messy blonde hair, with a scar over his eye. Her memories flooded to the first time she was there. She bit her tongue, she knew where to go, the Tower Of Heaven.
May clutched her side when she saw the Tower from the distance. Bright red and orange could be seen from her distance, with the help of her dragon senses. May easily noted that they were magic explosions. She wobbled on the water, carefully not to sink in. It was one of the cool tricks Mavis taught May before the Lumen Histoire. May started to dash forwards towards the battle field. Sure she was nervous but she knew Rob was there and he was family. Many ships past her filled with men in red robes and masks. They were screaming at each other trying to leave the island. When May found her way inside, she immediately saw a frail old man shielding a little girl with scarlet hair. Several flying corpses had magic circles ready to aim at the poor man. Recognition came into her eyes and saw the old frail man was Rob.
"Rob!" May yelled with a tear forming from her eyes. Rob lifted his head up with a smile on his face. Dozens of beams shot at Rob as both the little girl and May scream. The lasers hit the weak man on his chest. The little girl pounded her fist on the ground. Her emotions caused a magical phenomenon, swords raised and shot towards the direction of the magic corpses. May ran over to Rob, she held his head in her lap. She hugged Robs head as he smiled holding his hand up to touch May's cheek. He let out a throaty laugh and stared straight into her eyes.
"I thought you were dead. I wanted to see you again, you look so young." Rob said slowly on each word. May nodded with tears dripping down. She kept on saying 'I wanted to meet you too.' "You need to leave here. It's dangerous."
May shook her head and smiled, "We're family, we're suppose to stick together."
"Hey May, do Fairies have tails?" Rob asked with dull gleam in his eyes. May looked down to Rob, she smiled giving him the answer. He looked up at the sky and smiled, "Thank you, May. Please take care of Fairy Tail."
His white smile was happiness instead of pain that he has gone through for the past years. Slowly he turned into ashes as the wind picked it up scattering around her and the little girl. The last thing to disappear was his Fairy Tail stamp. May stood up with dried tears her eyes turned red. May's aura turned deathly black, she looked at the little girl and nodded. May ran at full force at the army of magical corpses. She sent attacks towards the enemies knocking them down, some barely scratched her.
"Senses Dragon Roar!" May yelled as a red and black spiral formed knocking down the enemy. "Senses Dragon Iron Fist!" May was taking down the monsters hundreds monsters at once, knocking them down like bowling pins. A laser shot out a ripped May's long sleeve exposing her guild mark around her chest. May clucked her tongue as she had a whole right below the mark. Like a whip skin grew closing the gap. The little red head eyes sparkled as she saw it was the same guild mark as Grampa Rob. The girl wanted to be as strong as the older girl.
"My name is Erza! Erza Scarlet!" the little girl yelled at May, "and i'm going to join Fairy Tail"
Ezra ran to gather the other slaves so they can run away. Losing the sight of May, and in hopes of a new future.
The little red head, was injured severely but she didn't show any pain. She was wandering around the streets, no she was not lost. She was fascinated by the way people walked and talked so freely. By pure chance, also by the help of the town's map, she found herself in front of Fairy Tail. She pushed open the doors and eyes were on her. A naked boy and a cute brown haired girl whispered to each other as Ezra walked past them. A strange man in the orange suit sat on the bar table. He stroked his mustache.
"Now who are you?" he asked looking down at the girl. She stood tall and looked at the old man. "My name is Erza Scarlet. I came here because Grampa Rob and a girl with a red guild mark on her chest was from here."
"Don't tell me you're a survivor." Ignoring the master's thought the guild laughed. "She so small! Is she even strong?"
"All Right kid, you may join if you tell me what happened before you came here."
Makarov, knew about May, but he thought she was dead. He wanted an explanation from the little red head. (Though she was taller than he was.)
The year was X777, July 6th. It was around midnight, soon to be July 7th. May was waving at Carnis as he took off into the night sky. He informed that he had to go to a Dragon's council meeting. With that being said, May made cookies for the other Dragons, though they are too small to taste. Carnis was depressed all week, he kept on blabbering about a man named Igneel. May tried to make him happy, but he would only reply it''s going to be alright. Soon weeks past and May started to get nervous. Carnis was always on time, yet he hasn't showed up.
May was very dependent at the time, so she didn't know what to do. She wrapped her red cloak around herself and headed to the tree. By the time she got to the tree, it was usually surrounded by couples. Sure it was a pretty tree to rest by and have lunch around it, but mostly the couples came because of the "legend." A couple sat next to May, as the boy groaned and the girl clanged to him like a love-sick puppy. She kept calling his name to get his attention while he rolled his eyes.
"Richie! Richie! Do you know about the legend here?" Asked the girl. While the boy, Richie, answered no.
"Well a long time ago there was this couple, both of them were mages and the boy and girl met right underneath this tree and instantly fell in love. Then one day, the boy lost control of his magic powers and killed three important council members, the girl waited for days for the boy. The boy was sentenced for treason and was hanged here, but before they could hang him, the girl showed up and rebelled against the council. She had super weird powers and easily took out a council member. The boy told her to run away right before he fell. They say that the girl showed up at midnight with a rope and tried to hang herself, but she couldn't. To this day she is still alive." The girl said with love and suspense in her eyes, "Ewe, she must be a old hag!"
May eyes twitched and threw an apple at the pesky girl's head and yelled, "I'm no old hag!"
The couple grumbled and stared at May like she's the freak. May glared at them with her glass eye, in a flash the girl started to shake hanging onto Richie. May was emotionally unstable when she learned that Carnis was not coming back. May traveled to the Fairy Guild, as she pushed open the wooden doors. The guild was loud and cheerful. Two little boys were throwing magic at each other. May made her way over to the fighting two, occasionally stepping on feet.
She grabbed his white scarf and pulled him back into a hug. The boy relaxed himself knowing that she is a dragon slayer herself. Erza saw May and she wanted to talk to her. In the corner of bar the master and his grandson sat, the blonde hair teenager vaguely looked like Jasper. He scoffed at all the attention she got from the little kids and walked away grabbing May's attention. She stared confused at his actions before talking to Ezra. Before everyone left Master and May sat inside his office talking about what happened while May was gone. When she was told about Precht, she was only silent and in approval. May looked up and smiled at Makarov. She bid him good night, and made her way towards Carnis' cave.
