Legend of the Seven Lights

B-30. The World Without Law

This is one of my favorite chapters in the Side Stories. I laughed while writing it. XD Well, not this first part, the first part's kinda depressing. (Also, if you aren't caught up with Fairy Tail, beware of spoilers.)

Chapter B-30: The World Without Law

Alakitasia, Fiore Dimension; 410 years ago

Nollid Kroy was sent through the Multiverse Portal and landed on a grass ground. "Yeesh... that was crazier than Apparating." he said. Nollid was in a forest, and the sky had a hint of yellow, implying that the sun was setting. He walked forward. "I wonder where the Darkness-" He stepped on a cliff and stopped before losing balance. A few grains of dirt fell off from his step, falling below the clouds. Nollid gasped, taking in the view before him. "Wow..." (Play "Floating Islands" from Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon.)

A light breeze whisked across the country of floating islands. At first, Nollid thought it was Skypia, but the islands were made of dirt and soil. Masses of land ripped from the earth and left to drift in the clouds. Nollid looked up toward the right, where the cliff sloped up and led to a thin strip of ground hanging over the abyss. A boy of seven years old stood on that strip, staring down at the passing clouds. He had smooth black hair and black clothes.

Nollid stepped up the hill and approached the kid from behind. "You should be careful. You might fall off."

The kid looked up and turned, staring with surprised black eyes, though his expression was dull. The stranger wore a black hoodie with black pants and shoes. Nollid had a purple strip through his black hair. The kid noticed the wand in Nollid's right hand. "Are you a wizard?"

"Hm? Oh, yeah. I am." Nollid answered, now confirmed that wizards do exist in this world.

"I've never seen you. Do you go to my school?"

"Er, no, I don't. I'm not from around here. My name's Nollid."

"Hi, Nollid. I'm Zeref."

Yep, this is the one I'm looking for. "Nice to meet you, Zeref." Nollid smiled. "Can you tell me about this place? I didn't exactly read a travel guide, so..."

"This is Alakitasia. The Floating Land. I don't know very much about it... but I think a long time ago, some wizards made the land float to be closer to the gods."

"A country-wide Levitation Spell? That's pretty amazing!"

"Yah... but it's dangerous. Dragons fly up here. They kill people. They killed my parents and my little brother. ...If you're magic, can you do something for me?" Zeref asked with hopeful eyes.

"What do you need?"

"Can you bring people back to life?"

Nollid hesitated to answer. "Um... not particularly. But I recently learned to use Inferio."

"What's Inferio?"

"It's a spell that can wake up corpses. The corpses are called Inferius."

"Inferius? Well... can you bring my brother back?"

"Why your brother? Why not him and your parents?"

"My parents were eaten by the dragons. We don't have their bodies. My brother is buried at the cemetery. Could you wake him up?"

"Wake up his corpse? Well, sure. But you know this is dark magic, right? I only practiced it because my mom made me. It feels creepy when I actually... do it."

"I just wanna see my brother again. Is that bad?"

"If it's that important to you, I guess I could... for a few minutes. Will you take me to him?"
