Chain of Shadows

(Fairy Tail Fanfiction)

Prologue

Wind swirled around the entrance of the most famous wizard guild throughout Fiore. From outside loud shouting and laughter can be heard, an occasional table was sent flying within the distance. This is Fiore's best guild? This looks nothing more than an overly built orphanage. I grinned darkly to myself letting my fangs glow in the moon's basking glow. Stealthily I picked up a small pebble forgotten in the distance, and lightly tossed it within the chaotic mess of a guild. The soft patter of a sound was enough to cause half of the wizards to look in my direction, fortunately for me I was already on top of the gate, silently daring someone to stupidly venture out into the open.

Soon all of the earlier noise died down into quiet murmurs. "Quiet!" A loud deep woman's voice rang out causing everyone to completely shut up. Nibbling the collar of my dark blue skull shirt, I crouched lower to the ground trying to stay out of sight. "Who's there?" The woman's voice grew louder with every word. "Relax Erza it was just a pebble, lizard breath over there just probably had it stuck in his shoe or something."

Somehow he sounded less threatening than the one called "Erza." The long pause she gave him before answering revealed she wasn't entirely convinced just yet but she let it go and went back to whatever it was she was doing before the interruption. I quickly jotted down some mental notes to stay clear of her path.
