Chapter 4

X793


"You never took your cape off. We all just saw your face," Natsu says. It was the next day and Natsu was standing in front of me in the guild hall. He was right up in my face. That's right! I had my hood and cloak on when I fell and I never took them off. Uncle Natsu was too close. He reminds me of father.


Everyone apparently was looking at me because they were curious as well.


I wear a cape and a hood to conceal my face, hair and outfit. It may give things away is what I think. My hair was caused by the magic I was born with. My clothes were the type of clothes I wore 400 years ago. I just go to the clothes shop and I have been asking for the same look of clothing for 400 years. But, I can't just stay hidden like this. I need Fairy Tail to trust me and treat me as family. I don't want them to feel distant from me even though they have every right to because of my father. But still, I have to reveal myself.


I popped off the button and lifted my hood. The black velvet cape fell onto the floor. I saw so many stares. Are they scared? Do I look ancient? Is my hair weird to them?
"Woah your hair is white with black highlights.. or black with white highlights? its so cool!" It was Uncle Natsu who said that. They dont feel surprised?
"Were you born with that hair?" Erza says.
"Um, Yes," I white lied. I was born with it but it was because of my magic. My mother probably never had black hair.
"Woah that Head Chain is so pretty. It has an opal.. oh my god" Lucy says.
"You look fine. Don't conceal yourself. You're now part of our family," Master Makarov says.
They dont think its weird. They are not curious. I sigh in relief, I guess I'm just too careful.


Today I decided to go around and explore inside the guild. They had a transportable library room which was huge. Mirajane showed me a photo album of everyone when they were younger.
"Look there is Erza and theres Gray and lookie here, Little Natsu and Happy," Mirajane says. I look at Natsu and almost burst in tears. It was Natsu, the Natsu I played with when I was little. Thats how Natsu looked like in my first memory.
I looked at more pictures and explored some books about Fiore's History. I didn't read them since I already know them. I looked at the board of jobs. One said "SEA MONSTER 50,000 Jewels if captured" and another said "FORTUNE TELLER! In need of mages who have clairvoyance." I went to the guild bar and explored the porch and grass field in front of the guild. I lay down in the tall grass and look up to the sun. Father, Our time apart is getting shorter isn't it? I have gotten stronger, you know. I'll keep on getting stronger with the help of my new family at Fairy Tail.


"Yo Cirki, fight me. We haven't seen what magic you do."
I stand up fast. Natsu was walking towards me.
"Shes new. Dont push her with your stupidity," Lucy says walking behind Natsu.
"Its okay. Lets fight then, Unk- Natsu," I say. Almost slipped my identity. I have to show them some sort of Magic anyway. A fight for fun might be easier to control how much I want to reveal to them than in a dire situation.


Flames appear by Natsu's fist. I overhear Gray saying, "Yo NATSU IS GONNA FIGHT THE NEW GIRL," Inside the guild. The guild members came outside and crowded around. I guess they were as curious as Natsu. I have to be careful.
"Well isn't this an audience," He smirks. Natsu's fists covered in flames hurdle towards me. I dodge. The Eathernano allows me to take up any magic type. I decided on a Magic I learned from someone a while ago, a type of ancient earth magic. I place my hands on the floor and a bunch of trees grew from the ground. As Natsu hits the trees, the trees blow up from the inside. "This power, its very similar to Azuma from Grimore Heart," I hear Erza. Azuma..yes. While I was observing Fairy Tail, I met the second guild master and his own guild way before they did. It was around when the second master left Fairy Tail to Mackarov and I kept tabs on him. I saw Azuma while I was doing that.
"Yes its similar to Azuma's Magic but not fully at his level," I lie. You could say I'm better, but I'm not trying to show strength. Earth magic is weak against fire so I allow Natsu to punch me in the face on his next flying fist. I flew onto the ground. I could sense that Natsu is very strong. That Demon part of him though, is locked and I hope it never comes out.
"Aw its already over," Jet says. Natsu grabs my hand and pulls me up from the ground.
"Sorry, I just need practice. I'm not that strong," I say. Natsu's hand. A memory I had forgotten.
"Your magic is so cool. At least we have someone who uses that power for the good right?" Natsu says smiling.


"Gather around my children," I hear the Master. "We finally got certified to enter the Grand Magic Games."
"Finally were going to show people how strong Fairy Tail is. Were gonna kick ass," Natsu hollers.
"Ive decided the team who will represent our guild," The master says. He starts pointing. "Natsu, Gray, Erza..." He starts saying.
"Obviously those three," Elfman says. He eager to be chosen I believe.
The master pauses. "Lucy and... Wendy"
"WHAAAT! Are you sure master?" Lucy and Wendy both say.
"I'm not strong at all," Wendy says.
"Neither am I," Lucy weeps.
"Lucy, the master chose us because of our teamwork. Take that into consideration," Erza says.
Lucy nods in understanding.
"This team will be training at the beach for 3 months," The master says.
"YES! THE BEACH!! Imagine what we can do there..." Natsu hollers. He and Happy look up thinking. Their mouths drool and Natsu's face smiles in excitement.
Erza smacks Natsu's head. "We are there for TRAINING, not PLAYING," She says annoyed. She looks at the master. "So when are we starting?" She says.
The master grins. "Now."
