Re: FT Specials (Most recent: 7/17/14 - Fairy Tail Zero / Ice Trail) - Fairy Tail Zero
This special series is very heart-warming, as well as heart-broken. It has unfolded the life story of Fairy Tail's very first master, Mavis.
Mavis was a sweet girl when she was little and the chibi-look with big head and small body made her looked cute. Her eyes seemed to sparkle with enthusiasm as she dwelled upon a book, titled
Fairy Quest. I believe that was probably the start of her journey in becoming the Fairy that she had always wished for.
The poor girl seemed to be living in an environment that was completely without parental love for her though the master of the guild pampered his own daughter to the extent of spoiling her. What kind of parenting is that? It was a horrible sight to witness a child who has fallen upon such cruelty at a young age. Despite living in a bad condition of torment and constant abuse, the child remained grateful for the little that had been given and provided. She was indeed a child with a strong spirit.
The fights among guilds were also an unpleasant sight and Mavis was matured enough to know how to protect herself and the people whom she cared for even though the latter were the ones who had tortured her the most.
When the master's daughter, Zeira refused to leave the guild premises despite being in danger was due to an uncalled for excuse, in that she was unable to depart from her possession (pretty clothings), I almost burst out of laughter. A little surprise from young Mavis to have a good insight of life that the memories of her loved ones and hopefulness had become the strength and meaning of living. Hardship sometimes mould a person's spirit, doesn't it?
Mavis' first friend died. This was probably the first time she cried, a lot, a lot. After her guild and town were destroyed, she became the sole survivor of the warfare. Quite a devastating sight!
Finally we know what had happened to Tenrou Island. The few characters who had appeared seemed to set the scene for future happening. Makarov's father, Yuriy, was unexpectedly good-looking and tall, while Precht looked much the same as the older version except for the age.
Looks like there are many more histories to be told. A great start of a
special.
