The Assassins of Fairy Tail
Prologue: The Dragon's Tale
My name is Wendy Marvel. It has been six months since my return. It's hard to believe that much time had passed considering I spend six months in that world. In those six months, I had experienced all kinds of things. I had met new people, both good and the evilest I had ever encountered. I knew what it felt like to lose people close to you even though you didn't know them that long. And it was at that moment, I knew firsthand how the world I was sent was like. As good as some of the times were, the bad times only seemed to become worse for me. From being separated from my world, from my friends, my guild, Chelia, and Carla, to me being kidnapped and being the love interest of the strongest of the Empire and took everything I held dear to me. If that wasn't bad enough, a grudge from the past was also present in the world I was stuck in. Five beings, demons from Tartaros, who all wanted revenge for what Fairy Tail did to their guild. It was the five of them against me.
Then again, it wasn't just me. I had others, the people I had met firsthand who happily helped me in my time of need. Night Raid. They may not have been a guild, but they were like a family to me just like Cait Shelter, Fairy Tail, and Lamia Scale. Still, it didn't mean the battles were any easier. Each battle I was involved could've been my last. Even with my magic, it took everything I had to survive to see the next day. To see all of them again. To see her again. That was my driving force to survive through everything this world had to throw at me. Throughout those battles, I suffered mentally and physically. The scar on my shoulder proves that and my mind is further proof. The most damaging was my prized possession destroyed in front of me. That was when I knew what despair and a sense of hopelessness felt like.
As if it weren't any worse, from the time I arrived in this different world, it was already killing me. I just didn't know it yet. My magic, which had helped me so much in surviving, was running out and I had no way to replenish it. It was ironic to me. The very magic that has helped me so much would also be one of the many things that would end my life. Still, I couldn't give up. Even with everything that had happened to me, I still had people who were hoping to see me. To reunite. Little did I know, that wish would come true in a way I would never see coming. Chelia did come in my time of need and along with her were other guilds who I had strong bonds with. It was a miracle. A miracle I was so happy that it happened.
Just in time too because they arrived in the most critical time. During the last great battle we had to do before everything would be set right once and for all. Strong as the enemy was, they would be no match against the power of wizard guilds. A lot happened during that time. From everyone fighting in the front lines to Chelia and I fighting against that last Tartaros woman together to fighting against that towering robot with everything they had to finally, that woman, Esdeath confront us and threating to kill Chelia. It was at that point, I let my rage consume me. Esdeath had killed too many people to even count. Done so many horrible things to innocent people just for the sake of her amusement. Spilled so much blood just to satiate her desire for battle. And I would be damned if Chelia would become her next victim.
When my power reawakened, I made sure Esdeath would feel everything, everything she had done to countless other innocent people to her. She may have been powerful, she may have been the strongest in the Empire, but she would be no match against the power of a dragon from my world. I made sure she felt the full wrath of what a dragon slayer could do. As long I've known, I was always timid, afraid, and doubted my own abilities as a dragon slayer. But when that moment happened, from when I thought I lost Leone and when she was going to kill Chelia, I felt what anger was like. And I made sure Esdeath would feel every bit of it. After my final attack, I returned to what I was before but this time, worse. The magic I had left was used up and I was dying.
I felt my body grow weaker with every second and darkness was enveloping me. For the first time, I was experiencing death. As it slowly took me over, my regrets were not seeing everyone again even after everything they went through. Just when I thought it would be the end of me, I was brought back and was reunited with everyone. I saw those I thought I would never see again and we celebrated in both our reunion and our victory over the Empire. The happiness and joy we had together were followed by the sadness of my departure and saying goodbye to those who looked after, who took care of me all this time. It was bittersweet but I knew, we knew this day would come. We said our goodbyes with tears of happiness and smiles so it would be the last we could remember each other forever more. And then…I returned home.
After being in that other world for so long, six months in fact in their time, it felt strange being back in my own world. I knew I would miss them just as they would miss me and would never forget each other. At least that's what I thought. To my surprise, three of them came along without me knowing. Akame, Leone, and Chelsea. Leone told me that everything we went through doesn't mean it had to be the end. She and the others wanted to have more adventures with me. And that made even happier. I couldn't wait to show them what my world had to offer. I knew they would love it. Not long after, with a little help from Leone, I was able to tell Chelia how I felt about her like I had for so long and that dream was able to come true.
Six months later which meant a year since Fairy Tail's disbandment which meant a year and a half for me, I had another reunion. Natsu, Lucy, and Happy arrived at Lamia Scale after the Lamia Scale Thanksgiving was done. I was so happy to them again after all this time. They told me they were going to bring back Fairy Tail. As happy as I was hearing that, I couldn't join. I was in Lamia Scale and I was with Chelia. As much as I wanted to, I couldn't leave Chelia because she would be all alone. When I told Chelia that, she responded by telling me what kind of a person she'd be if she would let the person she loved stay out of pity.
I knew what she was talking about but before I could think more about it, we were attacked by our rival guild, Orochi Fin. I was determined and so was Chelia to protect everyone. We headed straight for the enemy and took them head on. Within the enemy's ranks was a former enemy of ours, Blue Note Stinger. I didn't expect to see him again after all this time. Like before, he demonstrated his power but I wasn't the same person back then on Tenrou Island. This kind of pain was nothing compared to the absolute hell I had to endure. I used my powers that I have gained back in the Capital, including the Imperial Arms Run had given me. A truth I had come to accept is that I was no longer the person I used to be. Sure, I would act the same as I always was before but in actuality, that world had changed me. Hardened me. Into something else entirely. At times, my mind would be plagued by the past in my dreams of what happened to me in that world. For better or for worse, I don't know. What I do know is that I will move forward, like always.
Speaking of moving forward, after stopping Orochi Fin's attack, Chelia told me to go with Natsu and the others. She explained she would be fine just as long the guild was with her. She also told me that if our bond was able to survive in different worlds, it could easily survive if we were in different guilds. It wasn't before long I had another farewell to those who took care of me and Carla. I left with Natsu, Lucy, and Happy. And once again, Leone, Akame, and Chelsea showed up and wanted to come along. I guess I should've seen this coming. Like Leone told me before, we've been through too much together to end it now. She was right. My world still had so much to offer them.
All of us ran to our next destination. It's funny now that I think about it. I had finished a journey not too long ago and I was going on another one. The thing is, while this may be another adventure for me, for them, it's the beginning of their first one in my world. And I for one can't wait to enjoy it together not only with me, but with all of Fairy Tail. And now, my tale may be done but another will be told not only from my perspective but from theirs as well. Now I wonder what'll happen next. The only way to find out is to turn the page to the next chapter and see what this new adventure awaits us all. My name is Wendy Marvel and not only I was the sky dragon slayer of both Lamia Scale and Fairy Tail, I was also the Dragon of Night Raid.
