Chapter 668: The Founding of Fairy Tail
Chapter 668: The Founding of Fairy Tail
Feng Ye briefly averted his gaze from Magnolia and looked ahead.
Before him stood a grand and imposing palace, its entirety adorned in a golden-red hue reminiscent of flames, with a phoenix emblem adorning its pinnacle.
This was the Phoenix Heart Guild.
For three centuries, countless mages had sought entry but failed, and those who passed by revered it as a sacred site, offering their respects to the palace.
With a gentle demeanor, Feng Ye walked forward, stepping onto the Phoenix Palace. He made his way to the palace's main entrance.
The massive doors, emblazoned with a phoenix motif, were shut tight, imbued with the phoenix magic of Ekrayya, preventing any unwanted intruders. Even a typical member of the Ten Saints would struggle to breach them by force.
However, Feng Ye seemed to ignore the doors entirely, continuing forward as if they didn't exist. Upon touching the doors, they rippled like water, becoming illusory and allowing him to pass through effortlessly.
To him, there was no place in this world that could bar his entry. Wherever he desired to go, he could access without hindrance.
Inside the palace.
At its very center floated a golden flame.
Within the heart of the flame was a naked girl, her eyes closed as she hugged her knees, curled up in a ball, and floated quietly in the air as if asleep.
Suddenly.
The disturbance at the palace's main entrance caused her eyelashes to flutter, and she opened her eyes, awakening from her slumber. A hint of bewilderment flashed in her eyes before they lit up with delight.
She stood within the flames, and the golden fire swiftly retracted, transforming into a phoenix-patterned priestess robe that draped over her body.
Step,
She descended gracefully from the air, her bare feet touching the yellow carpet that stretched from the depths of the palace to the front entrance, and then she dashed toward the entrance.
Seeing the familiar figure approaching from the doorway, Ekrayya revealed a happy and gentle smile. She bowed to Feng Ye and called out:
"Lord Feng Ye."
It had been three hundred years since she last saw him. Due to her connection to the phoenix force, time had left no marks on her.
And her personality differed from Mebis; she wasn't as lively as Mebis, nor did she possess the same intense curiosity about the world. So, after establishing the Phoenix Heart Guild, she spent most of her time in a state of slumber, only awakening when someone forcibly entered the palace.
"You've slept for a long time."
Feng Ye smiled gently at Ekrayya.
Ekrayya nodded slightly and said, "I've slept a few times, adding up to about two hundred years... Have you found what you were looking for, Lord Feng Ye?"
Three hundred years ago, when they parted ways, Feng Ye had told her that he would merge all the things he had found so far and seek a particular power.
"No,"
Feng Ye replied calmly as he strode into the palace, ascending the stairs to the upper level and taking a seat on the lone golden chair at the highest point. With a soft laugh, he continued, "But I have a lead now."
Ekrayya followed Feng Ye and stood by his side, a hint of surprise on her face as she asked, "A lead?"
"Mhm."
Feng Ye nodded slightly and then pointed forward with a slight gesture.
The air rippled like water, eventually forming a clear image—a scene of Magnolia Town.
Under the illumination of Mebis' super magic, golden holy light bathed the sky and land, purifying and eradicating the bone dragon's life force and extracting Yuri from its remains.
Whoosh!
As the golden radiance faded, the bone dragon's massive skeleton finally collapsed into pieces, and Mebis silently landed in front of the gigantic remains.
She didn't fall, but she knelt on the ground, breathing heavily, her body drenched in sweat, her magic power almost entirely depleted.
The scene quickly zoomed in.
A close-up of Mebis appeared.
"...Her?"
Ekrayya paused, her expression tinged with strangeness as she asked, "Is this... phoenix magic?"
Despite the distance and the fact that she was only viewing a projection, as the phoenix's priestess and the source of the phoenix force, she could vaguely sense that the faint flames lingering on Mebis' body were imbued with phoenix magic.
"Yes."
Feng Ye nodded, "Her name is Mebis, and she's my disciple."
Ekrayya furrowed her brows slightly, her eyes fixed on the floating image, a look of confusion on her face. "The lead you mentioned, is it her? Her magic seems unique, but it doesn't seem like it would be enough to capture your interest..."
"But she holds the hope of giving birth to the First Magic."
Feng Ye smiled gently, "I have mastered all the magic in this world except for the First Magic, which I have never even seen. In her, I see the potential for this magic."
Although Ekrayya spent most of her time asleep, whether during the time she followed Feng Ye or in the three centuries since, she had learned a great deal about magic.
She was also familiar with the First Magic that Feng Ye mentioned.
It was the abyss of magic, the sole magic, surpassing the power of phoenix force, dragon slayer magic, space-time magic, and all black magic—a force capable of true annihilation.
"I see."
Ekrayya nodded, her eyes studying Mebis in the image with a hint of seriousness. "Then she truly is a gifted mage."
In the image.
After a bout of heavy breathing, Mebis steadied herself against the bone dragon's fragments and rose to her feet. She endured the soreness that came from expending a large amount of magic power and checked her status.
Just then, Prehito and Wall Ee, among others, came running from a distance. Prehito rushed to the center of the bone dragon's remains and helped Yuri up, while Wall Ee glanced in Yuri's direction before turning to Mebis with a concerned expression.
"Mebis, are you alright?" Wall Ee asked anxiously.
"I'm fine," Mebis assured him, taking a breath. She momentarily set aside her physical condition and flashed a pure and adorable smile at Wall Ee and the others, including Yuri, who was being supported by Prehito. "Well, the mission is accomplished. Although we caused quite a mess, it turned out to be a happy ending."
...
Several days later.
In the former building of the Blue Skull Guild in Magnolia Town.
Yuri, Prehito, and Wall Ee were busy distributing the wealth accumulated by the Blue Skull over the years among the town's civilians, working up a sweat.
Mebis, on the other hand, sat on a table, swinging her smooth, small feet in the air while humming a cheerful tune. She wore a delighted expression as she gazed into the distant sky.
"Huff... I'm exhausted..."
Yuri wiped the sweat from his brow with a towel after finishing the last of the treasure distribution. He then walked over to Mebis and said, "Come on, you came up with this idea, yet you're not helping at all, Mebis."
"But I came up with the distribution method, didn't I?" Mebis countered with a giggle.
Yuri shrugged innocently, then suddenly turned serious as he looked at Mebis. "Mebis, are you really okay? I talked to Prehito and Wall Ee, and they said that the magic you used earlier shouldn't be something you can cast lightly. There must be some severe side effects, even if you're not telling me about them."
Yuri regarded Mebis with a solemn expression.
Mebis met Yuri's gaze and eventually broke into a smile. "It's fine. My body just stopped growing, that's all."
After her magical power had recovered, she had attempted to use phoenix magic to heal herself and eliminate the side effects of the spell, but to no avail.
Once she had confirmed this, she felt a brief moment of disappointment, but quickly shook off the feeling.
"Then..." Yuri said, startled.
The cessation of physical growth meant that she would forever remain in her thirteen-year-old state, never aging. This would undoubtedly result in the loss of many experiences, such as the difficulty of finding a romantic partner, as most people would not want their significant other to remain a child forever.
"It's no big deal," Mebis dismissed with a carefree giggle. "Once I find my teacher, he can solve this problem. Besides, isn't it nice to stay young like this forever?"
Feng Ye possessed the power of eternal youth, and time left no mark on him. So, it was only natural for Mebis, as his disciple, to retain her youthful appearance.
Her intuition also told her that Feng Ye favored youth and cuteness.
As long as her teacher approved of her appearance, she wouldn't worry about these minor issues.
"But..." Yuri hesitated, feeling responsible as it was his impulsive decision to take the Sirius Jade that had led to Mebis's condition.
Mebis offered him a cute and pure smile as she stood up, interrupting him. "By the way, Yuri, I want to establish a wizard's guild. Why don't you guys join me?"
"Huh?" Yuri and the approaching Prehito were taken aback.
Yuri opened his mouth to speak. "A wizard's guild? But we don't know any magic."
"It doesn't matter," Mebis assured him, batting her eyes. "I can teach you magic."
"But..." Wall Ee scratched his head, looking at Mebis. "Why did you suddenly decide to form a guild?"
Mebis' expression turned serious as she gazed at the dilapidated town in the distance. "This town has been under the oppression of the Blue Skull for a long time. Even though we defeated them, it will be challenging to restore the economy and lifestyle to their previous state."
After discovering that her body had stopped growing, she had considered whether to end her adventure and seek out Feng Ye at the Phoenix Heart Guild. However, upon further reflection, she realized that her journey had only just begun.
For children embarking on their first adventure and encountering their first challenge, this was merely the starting point.
She couldn't afford to stop here.
Her next step was to establish her own magic guild, accepting various commissions to restore the town to its former glory.
"I see," Yuri mused.
Prehito stroked his chin thoughtfully. "In that case, how about we name the guild after me, the Prehito Brothers?"
"Don't make such a serious suggestion in jest," Wall Ee teased.
Seeing their reactions, Mebis smiled sweetly, and a glint appeared in her gem-like eyes. "How about this for the guild's name—Fairy Tail?"
...
In the year X686,
The Fairy Tail guild was established, with Mebis as its first master.
The guild was located in Magnolia, a town within the Fiore Kingdom, and Tenrou Island became the guild's sacred ground.
