When Fairy's get their wings!

Nessa checked her reflection in the mirror one last time before confirming that her hair was in fact fine. Today would be another day of firsts for her, and if you looked good , you felt good. Another one of her Aunties sayings. She did a little twirl before stepping out of her room and through the house. Fortunately everyone was out at the moment, so there was no one to make a fuss over her. Now she was a fully fledged member of the guild, she could go in and start taking jobs. Something she couldn’t wait to get started on. 

Who knows maybe I’ll make some new friends today! She thought hopefully, Nessa loved meeting new people. The fact that she was just getting to know her guild was great but also nerve racking at the same time. More than anything she wanted to get along with everyone.

She picked her pre-packed white satchel off of the countertop and stepped outside, locking the door behind her. She took a deep breath, the skies were clear today, that had to be a good omen. She began to tread in the direction of the guild hall. 

On her way she spotted something that stopped her in her tracks. A man was pacing, along the canal. She couldn’t help but wonder why. Surely it was dangerous to walk so close to the edge. Maybe he’s just having fun, I should leave him alone but when she saw his face she couldn’t help but feel like he wasn’t being playful but was rather worried. She wondered for a moment if she should go and talk to him, did he need help? Then she noticed he sat down. There you go, he’s just thinking, he probably wants to be left alone. Picking up her feet she continued to walk forward, beginning to make her way past him. 

She was only a few paces away, when she stopped once more. Her own worry settling in, What if he really does need help? You should at least check in and make sure he’s ok. What kind of citizen would you be if you didn’t at least offer to help. But how could she offer, what was she supposed to say. Not everyone liked to be told they looked down, in fact Nessa had learned the hard way that some people find it insulting. She heard him get up and glanced at him, he was coming towards her, it was now or never. 

”Umm, good morning!” She said with a smile she hoped was friendly, and not revealing of the paranoid thought debate she’d been having shot whether to approach him or not. And like the conversation master she was, Nessa picked the first topic that came to mind. ”Weathers lovely today isn’t it,”

Nessa was momentarily taken aback by the gentleman bowing, she had never had someone bow to her before. Only her dad when she was a kid, messing about playing royal family with her. It was such a grand greeting that she couldn't help herself, she brought her hand to her mouth and let out a giggle. She felt relief that he didn't look as worried as he had moment's ago, maybe he had just been lost in thought. She really was too nosy for her own good. Least he wasn't annoyed by her greeting him, and he seemed like a nice man. He didn't seem that much older than her, and his speech came across as very polite. Any guard or apprehensions she had before completely disappated, it didn't take much to win her trust. Kindness was key.

After hearing his question, she couldn't help but beam with excitement, "Fairy tail? Really? That's my guild. In fact I'm heading there now, I could take you if ya like." She offered perkily whilst gesturing in the direction of the guild. What luck it was that the first person she would be bumping into would be someone after joining the same guild as her, today was definitely turning out to be a good. "I'm Nessa, by the way" She added, thinking it was necessary to introduce herself.

She nodded eagerly at him "Of course, I don't mind," She replied, what kind of guild member would she be if she couldn't at least show him the way. The thought of being useful in anyway she could to the guild made Nessa warm inside. Seeing that fact that her offer made him happy was just another reason she was glad to have joined Fairy Tail. 

When he stopped mid-sentence, Nessa tilted her head, slightly confused by his behaviour. Was something the matter? She wondered. Then when he spoke and explained himself, she smiled once more. She flushed a little at being called a Fairy Tail wizard, it was the true. That's what she was, but it felt really nice to hear it. She reached up to take a piece of hair that was dangling in front of her face and began to twirl it between her fingers. 

"I mean I only joined recently, so I still have a lot to learn," She said shyly, she was a long way off from being a full fledged active role in the guild's core. But that was her goal. She shooked her head in an attempt to rid her self doubt. Putting on a confident beam, she dropped her hair and gave Aven a thumbs up.  "But at the very least, I can show you the way!" 

Turning on her heel she began to walk in the direction of the guild, taking on her duty of guide.

Nessa's brow furrowed in thought, it seemed Aven was under the impression that you had to undergo some kind of test to get into Fairy Tail. She took a moment to think but she opened her mouth to explain, "It's not really a test, but more like an interview. You have to speak to Sorano, that's our guild master and she decides whether your in or not. There's some paperwork too. Some of the guild members might ask to see you're magic but I'm sure that just wizards curiousity." She said, hoping that would ease his mind. She remembered how nervous she had been coming it, she was he had to feel the same.

Her eyes lit up when he asked her about her magic, "Oh, I practice Starlight Maiden magic. It kinda like elemental magic, but my source is the stars." She held out her palm, facing it towards the sky. Taking a breathe she summoned the magic, feeling it manifest inside of her. She direct it through her body towards her open palm. Adjusting it so it was harmless, a small glowing ball of pure white light appeared in her hand. She held it there for a moment so Aven could see, before she released her magical bind to it. Allowing the ball to float upwards to the sky, returning to the stars where it belong.


Dropping her palm, Nessa turned her head to look back at Aven, a content look on her face. She loved using her magic, it was so pretty and calming. It had a relaxing effect on her. "What about you, what magic do you use?" She asked in return.

She was pleased to hear that he thought her magic was beautiful, "Thank you, it's a blessing really." She had always considered her magic a gift from the heavens, she had watched her aunty use the same magic as she grew up. So when the day came that she realised she could use it herself. She was so happy, she remembered her parents beaming with pride when she showed them the tiny flicker of lights coming from her small fingers. To think she had come so far with it, so far that she was actually a wizard in a magical guild. Life sure had changed.

Nessa watched as Aven went on to explain his magic. She couldn't help but gasp in awe when the circles appeared, she had never seen magic like this before. Nessa loved witnessing different forms of magic, especially ones that contrasted so much to her own. When Aven flew into the air, Nessa made a little 'ooh' sound, watching him rise up. Staring at him in awe, when he suddenly stopped and disappeared.

Only to reappear on the spot, where had had been moments ago, standing on the purple circle. Nessa brought up her hands and did a little clap in excitement, "Wow, that's amazing Aven!" She said encouragingly, "You're magic does so much, and it's so useful. Mine's mainly just for fighting and looking pretty." She said with a laugh continuing to lead him in the direction of the guild. Aven was bound to fit in there, which was nice, she would have another person to talk to at the guild now. This made her so happy.

Nessa let out a delighted laugh at Aven's showman stance, "Well you've definitely entertained me," She told him. "But all magic is a wonderful gift to us all, we're very lucky. I couldn't imagine a world without it. It would be sad, don't ya think?" Such a unbelievable tool that came in the form of all different, shapes, sized and manifestations. Too lose that, would take so much away from that world.

Nessa felt a warm feeling of comfort when she spotted the guild, it was officially one of her favourite places to be. Becoming a Fairy Tail wizard had been such a great step forward for her, she couldn't help but feel pride walking towards knowing she belonged. It was moments before they arrived in front of it, she stopped to allow Aven to take in the moment. Only days ago, this had been her, except she had been alone. She hoped that at least having her company might have been somewhat reassuring to him.

"Yep, this is it, amazing isn't it." She said, stepping in front, she pushed open the door and stepped in. Holding it open for him, she gestured for him to follow. "Come on Aven, let's get you in to Fairy Tail!"

Nessa was happy to watch as Aven took it all in, he looked so amazed. It was so nice to see. She turned to see if she could spot Sorano. She was bound to be around here somewhere, or maybe one of the Ace's. She didn't want to leave Aven disappointed, they had come all the way here. looking back at Aven she could see he was much more confident now. He's going to be just fine, She told herself reassuring.

"Hey, Miss Nessa, would you like to be friends?"

She paused for a moment, her expression blank, unsure if she had heard him right. Had he just asked her to be friends, surely she didn't imagine it. As realisation set in, Nessa was suddenly taken over with exciment. Suddenly she was overwhelmed with joy, bouncing up and down on the spot, she couldn't contain herself. The question was like music to her ears.

"Oh Aven, I would love to be your friend, you don't know how happy it makes me that you asked," And in a burst of unrestraint. She reached out in an attempt to give him a hug, it may have been a bit much. But she couldn't imagine he would mind, they were friends now afterall.

After a moment, Nessa let go beaming. She was so naturally naïve that she felt no embarrassment from hugging a man, at least not one she had decided was her friend. Although despite her naivety, she knew embarrassment when she saw it. Although she felt they were no longer strangers, she understood why hugging someone you've just met might cause someone to flush a little. "Oh Aven, you've gone all red, sorry, I can be a bit forward." She said with a chuckle, making a mental note to restrain her affectionate nature a bit more. She was just so happy to make a friend.


She stepped back, giving Aven some room to collect himself, before turning away from Aven. She raised her hands and cupped the sides of her mouth in an attempt to amplify her voice. She called out to the people around her. "Hey, Does anyone know where Sorano is? We have someone that wants to join the guild!" She spoke as loudly as she deemed necessary to be heard, hoping this would grab someone's attention or potentially even lure out the guild master herself. It was worth a shot, better than just standing there all day waiting for someone to turn up.

It seemed than her technique of calling out had worked well enough. She had gotten the attention of someone they needed. An ace. Perfect She thought, pleased to have got the ball rolling for Aven. She checked her watch and realised how much time had past, she was meeting someone later so she didn’t have that much time to sign up for jobs.

She looked back up at Aven with an apologetic look ”Sorry Aven, I’ve got stuff I need to go do . I’m gonna have to leave you to it, don’t worry though, you’ll be fine. Rina here will look after you.” With a wave goodbye, she spun on her heel and began to hurry away. ”It was great meeting you, I’ll talk you soon ok!” She called behind her, before leaving Aven to continue his initiation into the guild.
