Dragons in Remnant-Prologue

"Legends, stories scattered through time. Mankind has grown quite fond of recounting the exploits of heroes and villains, forgetting so easily, that we are remnants, by-products of a forgotten past.

Man born from dust, was strong, wise, and resourceful. But he was born into an unforgiving world. An inevitable darkness, creatures of destruction.

The creatures of Grimm set their sights on man, and all of his creations. These forces clashed and it seemed the darkness was intent on returning man's brief existence to the void. However even the smallest spark of hope, is enough to ignite change and in time, man's passion, resourcefulness and ingenuity, led them to the tools that would help even the odds. This power was appropriately named 'Dust'.

Nature's wrath in hand, man lit their way through the darkness, and in the shadow's absence, came strength, civilization, and most importantly, life.

But even the most brilliant lights, eventually flicker and die; and when they're gone… darkness will return.

But the dark cannot live without the light, nor can the light live without the dark. The light will return from even the tiniest of sparks, and burst into a brilliant flame to burn on for centuries."

A flint is struck, once, twice, thrice, before the sparks erupt into a brilliant flame, that takes on the shape of a dragon, roaring to the heavens, with the shattered moon behind its silhouette, as a feral roar is heard within the sky starry night sky, before transitioning to a full moon.

Down below, in the town of Magnolia, the Fairy Tail's freshly rebuilt guildhall is alive with the sounds music and partying sorcerers and sorceresses.

"LET'S PARTY." A short white haired man shouted before guzzling down a mug of beer.

The doors opened slightly, allowing someone covered in a cloak to walk in and sat down at the bar, near Makarov.

"Hmm? Oh can I help you young man?" Makarov asked.

"Hey master, where's Natsu, Gajeel, and Wendy?" A blonde girl with a side ponytail asked interrupting their conversation.

"Those three were requested by the king of Fiore himself for a certain job only they can do." Makarov explained. "They won't be back for a while. Now what do you need young man?"

The stranger pulled out a pen and a pad of paper before writing something down and handing it to Makarov.

"Your name's Scythe, and you wanna join the guild do ya? But why write it and not say it?" Makarov asked.

"I recently became a mute." The second note read.

"Oh, I am sorry to hear that young man. Of course you can join the guild. What kind of magic do you use?" Makarov asked grabbing the stamp.

"I'm the slayer, meant to kill Acnologia, the Etherion Dragonslayer…" The third note explained.

The entire guild stopped dead in their tracks as the music was interrupted and went dead after Makarov said that out loud in shock.

The sound of footsteps running broke the silence as a shirtless raven haired boy came running at him with a cold mist seeping from him.

"Demon Ice-Make… COLD EXCALIBUR."

Grey swung at Scythe before said newcomer swerved to the side, evading the attack, and slammed his elbow on the back of Grey's neck, knocking him out instantly, while simultaneously, showing off a pure muscle, log thick arm.

Scythe sat back down and faced away from everyone as he waited for Makarov's answer.

"Is Grey alright Juvia?" Makarov asked as a blue haired woman checked him.

"My darling Grey seems to be simply knocked out. Other than that, he's fine." Juvia explained.

"Good, than I've got one thing to ask you young man." Makarov exclaimed raising the stamp to eye level. "Where would you like your guild mark?"

Scythe pointed to his left pectoral, allowing Makarov to put it there, before everyone began partying once more.

"Welcome to Fairy Tail Scythe, I have a feeling you're going to fit right in." Makarov smiled sliding him a mug of ale.

Scythe declined and explained he was only fifteen.

"Fifteen, and you're Lauxus's size? My word boy what kind of workout did you do to make yourself so big?" Makarov questioned.

Scythe simply wrote that he was a farm/ranch boy, before he lost the last of his family, his baby sister, a week ago.

"My poor boy I am truly sorry to hear that. I would imagine you're not in the mood to party, so let me direct you to the nearest apartment complex, where you can get a room for a pretty good price. The building is owned by Fairy Tail, and none of the boys seem to want to live there, but we kept it just in case, so you'll have the whole building to yourself."

(End Song…)

…

The next morning, Scythe woke up to the sound of someone banging on his door.

He silently grumbled before he went and answered it, where a pink haired boy, with a flying blue cat by his head, was standing there, now pounding on his chest for a few seconds before he realized the door was open.

"So you're the new guy. Welcome to Fairy Tail, the name's Natsu, this is my pal Happy." Natsu smiled.

"Aye sir." Happy chimed.

"I was actually hoping you could come on a job with a few of us this week. We drew straws to see who would take you first, and I won. Next person to partner up with you on a job is Lauxus, then Wendy and Carla, then Gajeel and Pantherlilly, and finally Erza and Lucy. I know you don't know who any of them are, but you will once you hang around them. I heard ice princess tried attacking you last night. Trying to see how tough the new guy is huh? Guess he learned his lesson." Natsu explained. "Meet me at the guild in an hour, we'll be leaving for your first job a little after. I'll let you pick."

"It'll be great." Happy smiled as he flew behind Natsu as they made their departure.

Scythe looked as they left, a small smile creeping upon his face.

"I think I might like it here at Fairy Tail." Scythe thought as he closed his door, preparing to get ready for his first job as a Fairy Tail Sorcerer.

Little to his knowledge, his life would change completely in about a year.

Welcome to

Dragons in Remnant

A/N: Hey everyone, F.M.D here, I've been thinking a lot about my story, and realized that unlike RWBY, it doesn't really have that kind of beginning to the story line. So I decided to come up with a quick prologue.

People had been asking me how everyone in the guild besides, Natsu, Wendy, and Gajeel knew about Scythe being the Etherion Dragonslayer, but I couldn't for the life of me, figure out how to fit that into a later chapter, so I thought the prologue would be a good way to explain that.

Tell me what you think about the prologue, and what I could add to it to make it better.

F.M.D out.
