The sky was gray in all directions and covered with heavy clouds. Probably it would rain soon, but still everything was dry and the weather would hopefully hold also something. A sharp, cold wind whistled from the east, whirling the fresh autumn leaves. The flowers bowed their colorful heads under the strong gusts, but all the colors seemed to be covered and dull, as the right light was missing, which colored this time of the year golden.

Category: Fairy Tail
Fairy Tale is an anime series created in 2009 as based on the Japanese manga illustrated by Hiro Mashima. This fictional universe, where all events take place, is full of sorcery, spells, wizardry, and dragons. This world, the Earth Land, is inhabited by Mages, the wizards who have abilities to use their Magical Powers and other ordinary people who are not connected with wizardry at all. These Powers can vary greatly depending on the wizard’s aim, but they come from one source – The One Magic. Magic abilities are given to a scares number of people that’s why their skills are highly respected and appreciated. If ordinary people want to get some assistance from Mages, they pay them for their work. Wizards can use their skills to protect people, heal wounds, support someone’s soul, and fight with various enemies. This is how Wizards make their living and their primary source of income and different interesting adventures.
To be made an authorized Mage, every wizard has to become a member of a Guild – a special organization that unites Mages, provides rules how to use Magical powers, plus gives them new jobs. These are the so-called Legal Guilds which have been licensed by the Magic Council. Unfortunately, it happens that not all wizards have good intentions. Dark Mages don’t admit any authority. They unite into Dark Guilds, which in reality are just criminal organizations. For those who are not given the license but who are decent Mages, the Independent Guilds have been created. The position is really vague – they are allowed to do whatever they want till the government is not bothered by their activity.
These events take place in the Kingdom of Fiore. It’s a monarchy reigned by the government and headed by the King. They have created a special unit, the Magic Council, to control and guide wizards in their lawful employment. The principal character of this anime, Natsu Dragneel, is a young teenage wizard with pink hair who is the member of the Fairy Tale Guild. He is traveling around that kingdom in the pursuit of his foster father, the Dragon Igneel, that has been raising Natsu as a child. Despite being a dragon, he has a pretty human attitude towards Natsu. He teaches him how to use Dragon Slayer Magic, an ancient form of Magic which is thought to be lost, so he can tame fire to use it for his purposes.
In the meantime, he meets Lucy Heartfilia, a young girl who possesses magical abilities and wants to work with the Fairy Tale Guild – it’s one of the most famous, strongest, and adventurous Guild in that whole Kingdom. He rescues Lucy from the Dark Mage, Bora, a villain and a female slave trader who kidnaped the girl to sell her as a slave. After common adventures, Natsu welcomes Lucy to the Guild – with several other members, these wizards begin their adventurous journey. They form a team with Happy, a blue cat that can fly and talk, Mage Gray Fullbuster who can create ice and Ezra Scarlet, a girl wizard that can turn herself plus other objects into weapons. The Natsu team is ready for their missions given by their Guild. They are going to combat illegal Dark Mages, an ancient evil demon Etherious, and a Dark Mage Zeref who is known as the most powerful Mage in the world.
Dragon Slayer
In the street of the small town of Fairy Tail, a crowd gathered. Children, adolescents, adults; people of all ages stood around in a circle. In the center of this crowd, there was a fire-breather with bright pink hair, who wore a raggedy brown tunic, splattered with mud and covered with scratches. He was known as “Salamander”. He had the ability to spit out fire in all different shapes and sizes, using his magnificent flames to portray a story of a courageous knight defeating a vicious dragon.
