BlackLynx17: Warning. So when you read this story, you're going to realize you haven't read anything like this before. I came up with this story from a picture I saw on the internet between Gray and Juvia, should be the profile picture. I had dreams about it before finally deciding to make a Gruvia story. Then I realized why should I stop there? I should make it a longer story about all the Fairy Tail couples, the main ones at least, so this is how I ended up here. I'm still working on the last bits and pieces of the story, hopefully you'll enjoy this though.
It really is something different and amazing, so I hope you review and tell me all of your thoughts about it. This story is going to have so many twists, turns, and romance it's going to be just adorable. I'm hoping it'll be popular as I think it'll be. Anyways, thanks for reading my loyal fans. Take your time and enjoy.
Elements Of The Heart
Chapter 1
The Beginning Of It All
Earthland. Once a world united, now a world split apart into four divisions, two sections in each division, eight sections in total. Division 1, Sections Water and Ice. Division 2, Sections Lightning and Sky. Division 3, Sections Fire and Light. Division 4, Sections Shadow and Earth. Their residents know nothing about the other Elements in the world; they're unable to connect to one another. It's unknown the reason why their worlds got cutoff, no one questions it though. It's just how their world works; each section kept to themselves. It was like this for centuries until one fateful day. It was a chain reaction, or maybe all by chance. What happened first though was in Division 1, Section Ice, where one resident found himself lost.
He traveled across the icy landscape, miles away from where his home was. In the Ice Section everyone lived in one area, a huge castle made completely out of icicles that only improved and grew bigger each passing day located at the heart of the land. It was a section of style, their ice magic giving life and shape to everything they could possibly imagine, and one of the only Elements that lived together under one roof.
Not yet a man, but not young enough to be considered a boy either, dressed in only a pair of black pants with a white belt keeping it tied up, walked across the frozen landscape, snow falling gently above him. He was seventeen and lost in his train of thought, hands in his pockets as his mind got farther away from him, his feet leading him farther away from home.
Suddenly he blinked and looked around, a scowl on his face. "Where am I?"
Silence met his question. The wind blew and snow fell; Gray Fullbuster frowned and shoved his hands deeper into his pockets. He wasn't lost, he was sure he could find his way back, Gray continued walking anyway though. After a while it sounded like he was walking on the thinnest ice instead of snow and when he looked down, he saw that the snow was piled up very shortly on the ground. Gray furrowed his eyebrows and leaned down, brushing his hands against the snow.
It has always been snow over snow over more snow, Gray felt something solid though. His hands wiped the snow away and he saw solid see-through ice, waves of something underneath the ice. Gray had never seen something like this before, but knew what it was. Water. That was impossible though because the Water Element wasn't supposed to be connected to the Ice. They couldn't meet, it was impossible. There was clearly water underneath him though.
Gray leaned down further and stared with amazement, never seeing water before. He wished he could touch it and slammed his fist against the ice to achieve that wish... no cracks at all.
"Of course not." Gray mumbled to himself.
He placed his forehead down on the ice and stared into the water, seeing bubbles every now and then. It looked weird, water. The way it moved, how it looked, the small bubbles that would suddenly appear. Weird, but nothing like he's ever seen before; Gray couldn't keep his eyes off it. He blinked seeing something moving underneath the water, it was too fast for his eyes. Gray leaned up and started wiping the snow more around him, a clearer picture of the water underneath the ice appearing. There was something dark in the distance under the water. Gray's eyes scrunched together as he tried to make the figure out, it started getting clearer and clearer. Pretty soon Gray saw that the dark figure was a woman, walking towards him.
His eyes widened and he sat back up, running away. He had just seen a resident of the Water Element, he just saw a resident of the extinct Water Element! Someone that no one has ever seen in the past thousand years! What was I doing?! Gray thought as he stopped dead in his tracts and ran back. He saw the spot he knelt against from before and ran towards it, stopping right in front of it. The sight he saw was amazing.
The woman was still there, floating in the water looking almost as surprised as he was. She was beautiful, something Gray has never seen in his life. She looked nothing like the women from his Element, wore clothes nothing like his people, her eye color nothing like he's ever seen. Her hair was a bright curly blue that danced underneath the waters and matched her outfit, a long skirt that seemed to be made of a material he's never seen before. She was shirtless, just like him, but had some fabric over her chest and around her arms covering herself. She blinked and tilted her head slowly at him; Gray leaned down and to get a closer look at her.
"Hello?" He asked.
She opened her mouth, bubbles coming out.
"I'm sorry?" He asked her again.
She started moving her mouth open and close repeatedly, placing a hand against the ice. He couldn't hear her and if he couldn't hear her, she couldn't hear him either. Gray frowned and placed his hand against the ice where her hand was. She blinked and smiled brightly at him and for some reason, Gray smiled back. An idea struck him and he pushed some snow over her head. He patted it down nicely on the ice and started writing a word, backwards.
'Hello.'
Could she understand? Gray watched her stare at the words and repeat it, she smiled and waved at him. So they could read the same language. Gray pulled more snow and drew another word over the ice wall, his name along with an arrow pointing at him. The water resident looked at the name, repeated it, then looked at Gray.
"Gray," she said pointing to him.
Gray saw her lips say his name and nodded, pointing to himself. The girl nodded and tried writing on the ice, nothing happened though. She huffed and pouted, holding up a finger at him. One second, Gray took it as when she swam away. So he sat there, building a pile of snow beside him so he'd be ready to write when she came back. Minutes passed, Gray thought she had left him until he saw a shadow in the water. She was back and she was holding... something green he's never seen before. It was seaweed. The girl tied pieces together to spell letters and held it against the ice.
"J-U-V-I-A. Juvia, Juvia?" He asked.
Juvia smiled and nodded, pointing at herself.
"Juvia." Gray said patting snow on the ice.
'Nice to meet you.'
Juvia read and smiled, holding her hand against the ice. Gray pressed his hand against there too. It was the first time in a thousand years where two separate Elements met each other. And they couldn't say a single word to each other. The messages between them were small, short, questions really. Juvia's answers were limited because she didn't grab a lot of seaweed so she'd often get stuck when Gray would ask long questions. It was strange and exciting talking to someone different from his kind, she looked exactly like him though. The only real difference was where they stood. From his point he was standing on top, her underneath him, but from Juvia's view she was on the top, him underneath her.
She gave him a look before tying her seaweed into letters again.
'Leave.'
Gray blinked and pointed at himself, she shook her head and pointed at herself. So she had to leave.
'Can I see you again?' He wrote in the snow.
Juvia smiled and nodded her head, placing both her hands against the ice. Gray smiled back as well and placed his hands over her.
"Tomorrow." Gray told her.
Juvia blinked and Gray sighed, writing words in the snow. She nodded at him and mouthed the word bye before she slowly started swimming away. Gray watched her until she vanished completely from his sight. Seconds too late he finally said.
"Bye."
Neither of them knew that their meeting would bring the destruction of their world.
