Fairy Tail - Rise Of Rune Knight 1 Chapter 1 The Birth

In the Meteor Town of Fiore, a person clad in a garish uniform, highly reminiscent of those worn by real priests was walking around anxiously.

He was in his early twenties, had long crimson red hair that is tied in a loose ponytail with a black hairband. He has bright blue eyes. He also has a short and red beard or stubble.

He don a long, high-collared, sleeveless dark robe over a light shirt with wide sleeves ending below the elbows, where they are circled by thin bands; the robe is covered on the front by a light cloth, bearing the dark, ankh-like symbol of the Council, held still by a light belt circling the waist.

Around the man's neck is a long, light cape bearing the Council's insignia on the back, held closed below the neck by a rhomboidal clasp adorned by a gem, and on their head sits a light headgear, with a decorated lower part, reminiscent of a mitre, but with three tops, a central one and two more at its sides. He also wear simple boots with the front parts covered in vertical stripes.

He was equipped with a long metal staff, ending in a sphere, seemingly a globe made of crystal, topped by a small cross.

And currently he was walking up and down outside a one storey house. He seemed very anxious and would look at the house from time to time.

From the house, there were scheduled coming which often made him cringe and he almost dashed into the house but a strong arm stopped him in the middle.

He was tall, muscular man with shoulder-length orange hair (usually kept slicked back) and a stubbly beard.

He wears a long, black, high-collared and tattered cloak with shoulder plates; around his waist is a simple belt. He also wear loose-fitting dark pants, complete with an armored waist-guard bearing plates similar to the ones on his shoulders, tucked inside simple boots.

"This isn't time for you to be so anxious and worried, old friend. Everything is going to be alright. We even have Porlyusica to take care of things inside. So just trust her.

And because of your constant bugging she threw you out of the house too. It was so funny. Hahahaha" The orange haired man said and laughed at the end.

" Was that funny? I don't think so. And of course I will worry. My wife is in there crying out in pain and you expect me to be quiet and endure it. I left all my work and dashed here without even changing my clothes and you want me to calm down and wait in silence.

I don't think so. I cannot sit quietly when my wife suffer. She needs me in there and no one could stop me from going inside. " The anxious man said what dashing towards the door once again.

This time, he dodged the blockade of the muscular orange haired man and managed to reach the door and before he could touch the door, it opened.

And at the doorstep was a extremely short, elderly man. He has black eyes and is growing bald with only the outer rims of his head containing white hair. He also has a thick white mustache.

He currently wore a white shirt with the fairy tail guild mark and his attire was completed with matching orange shorts and an orange and blue striped jester hat.

" Will you brats quiet down? Porlyusica is scolding me for not controlling you brats inside. You are disturbing her too so be quiet or I will knock you down myself. Am I clear? " He looked at the two fighting duo in the twenties and scolded them.

" Yes, master"

" Yes, master Makarov"

The two replied back.

The short old man was Makarov Dreyar. He was the third guild master of the Fairy tail guild and the orange haired muscular man was Gildarts Clive the current ace of fairy tail.

Meanwhile the man in uniform was Ardent Dovonan, the captain of the Rune Knight of the meteor town.

As for why the notorious fairy tail guild master, it's ace and the captain of Rune Knight were together when Fairy tail guild and the Magic Council, head or bossof Rune Knight are at each other's neck way too often .

The reason is very simple. The reason for them appearing together is a woman.

Ardent Dovonan is a married man and his wife was Claire Swann now Dovonan. She was a Fairy tail guild members before her current scenario.

She was an orphan who grew up under the guild. She knew most of the guildmates since she was a kid and got along with all of them well, even the son of Makarov, Ivan.

She was a powerful light mage and was an cla.s.s mage before she retired after marriage. Makarov always treated her as his own daughter and dotted on her.

Many of her light magic are taught to her but Makarov.

Her current state required a qualified medic which came in the form of porlyusica, Fairy tail guild unofficial medic.

She was well liked by many of her guildmates and hence, they happily agreed to help.

As for what was the status of Claire, she was pregnant and currently giving birth.

Four hours ago, her water broke and she underwent the process of child birth. On hearing it, Ardent rushed home ignoring everything. He couldn't remain quiet under his wife's shout and hence he was thrown out of the house by Porlyusica much to Gildarts delight.

Now the three people, one old and two in twenties stayed out trying to ignore the shouts from inside.

Although they tried to remain indifferent, their cringing from time to time say otherwise.

" Who knew that childbirth could be so time taking and painful?" Gildarts mumbled softly but everyone there heard him loud and clear.

They just nodded in agreement to this sentence. And Makarov said," This is another example of why woman are stronger than men. The pain for so long would have crippled us and yet she is enduring it. Women are truly inspiring."

This sentence couldn't be countered by either of the two.

The pain she was experiencing reminded ardent of something.

" She said that she will cut my little me off, I tried to approach her again. I don't know what to do now?" Ardent said with words full of fear.

Gildarts wasn't going to let the chance of making fun of Ardent go. And he mischievously said," The feared Shadow Master, Ardent Donovan is afraid of his sweet wife. Oh how will those dark guilds react when they heard about it?"

" Sweet wife? It seems you have forgotten how she can be when she is angry. I think I remember her mentioning once that she broke every bone of your body when you tried to kiss her. " He said while glaring at the outrageous man.

The man I question just shuddered and mumbled," I almost saw death in front of me that day from her beating."

Makarov wasn't fazed by them and said," Don't worry. Women saying these things at times of childbirth is normal. I remember my wife too threatened me at time of Ivan but it was all for naught.

And Ardent she would need you more than anything now. If necessary you can contact us. "

" Don't worry I won't let anything happen to her and I am sure you will not leave me if I hurt her ." He said joking.

" Of course. Even if we don't take a train, Meteor town are only few hours away from Magnolia. And I don't think you could escape us too."

Meteor Town is situated near the base of Mt. Hakobe. It is famous for it's rich mineral and fruits here.

Hence many monsters attack the town for the delicious fruits they smell and rush down from Mt Hakobe.

The money they earn from them amount to half of what Hargeon city earn.and that city had a port too. So a powerful mage is placed here from the magic council.

And this mage is Ardent. He is a borderline S- cla.s.s mage and is famous for his shadow powers. And through his shadow travel he could easily get help from other guild around the town and protect the Town from monster attack.

While they talked to distract them, a child's cry could be heard.

The trio dashed inside on hearing that and they reached the bedroom.

On the bed laid a beautiful woman with brunette hair which reached her shoulder blades and violet eyes. She was Claire Dovonan.

And she had a child in her hands who had violet eyes and red hair. He looked around himself curiously with his violet eyes until it fell on the short man with orange hat.

He tried to reach out and grab it is so it seemed.

Claire looked at them, smiled softly and said, "Everyone, Let me introduce you to Daven Donovan."

And the hero is born.
