Fairy Tail Origins Oneshot Book

Viking Bear

🙃 I haven't done much stuff that even mentions Bjorn. And so have this oneshot. Inspired by the fact that his name means Bear.

It was an average day on the island of Divinus Magia. Within the small guild hall was the rowdy wizards that made up the guild. One of which was Bjorn, or as he tells people to call him, Zaro. A 3000 year old Viking that was trapped in ice, until a certain half Devil freed him on accident. He was an S class wizard, only second to the twin guild leaders, Brandon and Ritchie Diablos. With his giant axe and iron like skin, he's nearly unbeatable. And of course he was sitting in an usual spot, this time he had chosen to sit upon one of the torches that was held against the wall, the torch still lit. The fact that he was sitting on fire didn't bother the Viking, although it can be unnerving, especially to new comers and visitors. Bjorn had a mug in his grasp, half empty and containing some beer. Bjorn was also largely responsible for the guilds large alcohol bill. As he drinks more in a day then anyone in the guild combined does in a week. The most interesting part about this is the fact that he rarely seems drunk, apart from waking up in strange places. Watching him was the Half-Devil and Viking in training, Inmo. He admired Bjorn from the day they met, although no one is quite sure why. He even calls the Viking 'Boss', although he tends to call him a pirate instead of a Viking. He wasn't the brightest of the bunch but he means well and simply wants to impress his Boss. Now, you probably saw this coming. Suddenly, a bottle was thrown from seemingly the roof, even though there is nowhere to hide up there and no holes, well, not currently anyways. The bottle landed on the Viking, shattering on impact, the liquid pouring over his arm as that's where it hit. The glass didn't bother the Viking but the others but their arms up, aside from Inmo, to prevent the glass from hitting them in the face, luckily it didn't go that far. Of course, a bright light surrounded the Viking, so bright that it temporarily blinded the rest. When the blindness wore off and the were able to see again, there were in shock to see a small Bear, who had fallen on the floor. "Boss?!" Inmo yelled out, confused on what was happening. Where had his Boss gone? The first person to calm down was Brandon. No surprise there. Brandon was the calmest of the guild. He went up to the Bear with caution, figuring it must have been the Viking. It looked like a cub, it was soon clear to Brandon that the fall had left the Bear cub wounded. It was holding up its paw. Brandon knew he could heal the Bear but was unsure if the Bear trusted him. If it was in fact the Viking, it would be a question of whether or not he had his human memories in this form, or at least a since of who is friend and who is foe. Everyone was quite, knowing that this was the time to be quite while Brandon worked. When Brandon got closer the Bear looked up at him. It let out a whimper, almost like a dog. Brandon turned his expression into a soft smile, assuring the animal that he meant no harm. He reached out to the bears paw. The Bear didn't back away. Brandon carefully grabbed onto the paw, careful not to cause the Bear any pain. A dim light surrounded the paw, a sign that Brandon was using his healing magic.

After the Bear was healed everyone had calmed down. Brandon was sure that the Bear was indeed the Viking. So they took care of the Bear, waiting for him to turn back into the Viking they all know. Inmo was still very confused, Kit tried to explain it to him but ultimately failed. Ritchie promised that if anyone hurt the Viking while in Bear form, they would be playing a round or two of Dodge The Lightning Bolt. As he was more fragile in this state. Everyone took it seriously and were extra careful around the cub. Although Kit couldn't resist petting the cutie.

Everyone stepped back when the same blinding light surrounded the Bear. When they were able to see again the Bear had turned back into the Viking. Inmo's eyes brightened. "Boss!!" He exclaimed, very excited to see him, and still not understanding what had happened. Bjorn looked around, then he cleared his throat, a light blush on his face, having remembered his time as a Bear. "Um, who wants a drink?" He asked, trying to distract everyone from what had just happened. Inmo smiled widely. "ME!!" He yelled. Everyone chuckled.

This was a nice day at Divinus Magia.
