A girl woke up to see an unfamiliar place. Where am I?. I… can't remember anything. Who… am I? She got up and groaned, for some reason, her body ached. She walked to a nearby stream to see her reflection, she frowned, the area around her eyes were… burned?

After traveling for a few days, the girl found what she was looking for, a mask. It was gold, her a color that appealed to her, and covered her eyes and nose bridge. Much better, she thought, admiring herself. I like it… maybe I'll keep it

"AAAAAHHHHHH!" to her left came a piercing scream, she turned. What was that? Then she froze, to her left, a giant fire was raging. Suddenly, she remembered something about herself. She had magic. Immediately, she shot to the direction of the scream. She saw that it belonged a small child.

"Hold on," she said, and scooped the child up. After she had secured the child, she dashed to nearby hill where she saw a group of villagers. "Is this child yours?" she asked, holding the child out. A middle-aged woman ran up to her, scooping up the child and holding it close to her.

"Thank you!" the woman exclaimed, tears in her eyes. She smiled.

"That was impressive," a voice said from behind. She turned to see a blue haired man with a strange tattoo down the side of face.

"T-thanks," she managed to say.

"Which guild are you from?" the man asked. The girl looked at him, confused.

"Guild?" The man stared at him.

"A place where mages like us gather and help people," he explained. She shook her head.

"I dont… think so," she answered. The man thought for a second.

"Why don't you join ours?" he offered, "We call it Crime Sorciere." She considered this. She had nowhere to go, and she didn't remember anything from her past.

"Okay," she agreed.

"I'm Jellal. What's your name?" the man asked as they walked towards his guild. She hesitated.

"I don't know…." Jellal looked at her.

"What do you mean?"

"I can't remember anything from my past." He looked at her in shock.

"Really?" She nodded sadly. Jellal thought for awhile.

"How about I call you Hope?" he suggested, "lt suits you pretty well." She considered this, then nodded.

"I like it," she said, a smile on her face.

"Golden mask, heavenly magic… it's her! The Angel of Crime Sorciere!" the men exclaimed as they ducked for cover.

"ANGEL'S BREATH!" Hope smiled. She enjoyed being in a guild, she had decided. Months had passed since Jellal had found her and she had quickly settled into the rhythm of guild life, making her wonder if she had been part of one before she had lost her memories. Now though,, in Crime Sorciere, her power and mask had made her a living legend.

As she walked back to the guild, she heard people talking about something called The Grand Magic Games.

"I'm back!" she announced, to see all the guild members crowded together in front of Jellal.

"Oh, hi Hope," Jellal said.

"What's happening?" she asked.

"Master is announcing the participants for the Grand Magic Games, they're letting us participate this year!" Meredy exclaimed.

"The… Grand Magic Games?" Is that what I heard about earlier? Seeing the confused expression on her friend's face, Meredy realized that she didn't know what the Grand Magic Games were.

"Yeah, The Grand Magic Games. It's where all the guilds in Fiore compete for the title of strongest guild," she explained, "only 5 people get to go per guild." Hope nodded in understanding.

"Sounds fun," she said.

"Okay," Jellal announced, "the five members who will be going are Meredy,"

"Yay!"

"Cobra,"

"I got this!" the Poison Dragon Slayer smirked.

"Midnight," the dark haired boy licked his lips.

"Hoteye,"

"I will, for the sake of love."

"... and Hope!" she gasped.

"What?" she exclaimed, "but…"

"No buts," Jellal said, "you're one of our best mages."

"Yeah," Meredy agreed, "also, what if you remember something there?" Hope considered this.

"Okay," she relented.

Ahhhhh!
