The Immortal Question: Do Fairies Have Tails?

Backstory: Alyssa Eucliffe

Alyssa Eucliffe

Sting Eucliffe, perhaps the most powerful dragon slayer of history. Sting Eucliffe, the self proclaimed, “Real” dragon slayer. Sting Eucliffe, the father of what was soon to be the most brilliant wizard of her generation. Lucy Heartfilia, a celestial wizard whose spiritual connection to her spirits rivals the physical bonds of chain. Lucy Heartfilia, the “Baby girl of Fairy Tail.” Lucy Heartfilia, the mother of what was soon to be the most kindhearted wizard of her generation. Alyssa Eucliffe.

Alyssa was born into a nest of problems made by her parents when their love for one another grew “physical.” Lucy Heartfilia is known as Fairy Tail's baby girl, while Sting Eucliffe is the guild master of Sabertooth. It was decided that Alyssa would have a choice of what guild she would want to be part of when she turned 16, but plans don't often go accordingly.

Alyssa's parent's grew tired of one another and conflict sparked between the pair. Alyssa's decision of employment was brought into the conversation and it was decided she was going to decide her fate now; she was only 12 years old. Her parents forced a 12 year old girl to choose between not only her parents, but her closest friends which she began to love in both Fairy Tail and Sabertooth.

She closed her eyes and held her head in an attempt to weaken the headache that was brought with the decision of a lifetime. “Fairy Tail...of Sabertooth.” Her options still seemed too balanced even if she knew this would be her fate eventually years in advance. She screamed “Fairy Tail!” as she could feel the glares of those around her baring down onto her skin. Her mother smiled with a grin so big it couldn't be forgotten if she was brainwashed, but her father. Her father was gone. She didn't want to see his face, knowing his disappointment with her, but she kept looking for him.

She went home that day to find her father sitting on the couch. As she walked through the door he walked up the stairs, stopped, said “I accept your decision.”, and kept walking away. That night after Alyssa had gone to bed, Sting slipped into her room.

Alyssa woke up that morning to the sight of her father, lifeless on the floor beside her bed with a note on his chest protected by his crossed arms. She picked up the note and it read:

Alyssa. I love you with all my heart, and it is for this reason that I give you one final gift. The soul of a third generation dragon slayer is as powerful as the will of a million men fighting for their families. It is my third generation dragon slayer essence that has the ability to pass to you my magic. I can accept the fact you want to join Fairy Tail, but I cannot let you go there without power. I love you Alyssa. ~Your Father

Tears rolled down her face like a snowball in December. What did he mean? “You have his powers now.” Lucy's voice rang from the doorway. Alyssa turned to see her staring at the floor, she new all too well of this situation. Alyssa's gaze turned to her hand and as she concentrated her magic into her hand, light magic radiated all around her palm.

It was in that moment that Alyssa became the first forth generation dragon slayer in history. About a week later Alyssa and her mother were on their way to Fairy Tail when about a block away, Lucy decided to meet Alyssa there. Alyssa walked to Fairy Tail, but her mother never came. Her mother never came to meet her at Fairy Tail. Her mother never came to pick her up. Her mother never came, and that was the last time Alyssa, or any of the other guild members, saw Lucy Heartfilia, the baby girl of Fairy Tail. Rumors say that she took a job in Seven kingdom, she just had to drop Alyssa off. 2 years later, she still hasn't returned, and that's the only detail Alyssa cared about. Alyssajoined Fairy Tail at the age of 12.
