The Power of Gods

"Hah? I'm Athena Dreyar, and you're messing with the wrong guild here."

'Guild?' Shota narrowed his eyes in suspicion at the girl -Athena Dreyar as she introduced herself to be, especially at the odd rings of light that floated by the palms of her hands. Just what quirk was that? He had never seen anything like it.

"Now now Eraserhead, let's not make any hasty moves." Nezu, who stood on the chair, placed a hand -or paw really- onto his arm, to which Shota huffed and reluctantly lowered his hands from his scarf.

"I believe we got off on the wrong foot. I am Nezu, and this is Eraserhead." Athena stared bewildered at the large talking mouse, one that even wore a suit and tie.

"And Present Mic here-" Nezu gestured to another man by the side, one with yellow hair. "-found you falling from the sky."

Athena couldn't believe the words that the mouse was spouting. "The sky? How funny, the last thing I remember falling from is a hole." Her form remained cautious, and her magic circles still by the palms of her hands.

She noticed the way Shota lifted to take his scarf, as his eyes glowed red. That made Athena even more cautious, as she gazed at him. "I wouldn't recommend that."

"Says the one in a hospital bed and first to provoke us. Deactivate your Quirk now." He gripped onto the ends of his scarf, planning to use his Quirk to nullify the girl's, only to find the circles still very much glowing on her palms.

"Quirk? What are you even talking about, first it was falling from the sky now you're making something up called 'quirk'?" The air around the infirmary got more and more tense, as Athena and Shota continued to glare at each other.

"Stand, down." His Quirk had activated, but nothing happened. What was going on, why wasn't her ability nullified? Shota tried to focus on her even harder, yet the circles still glowed on her palms.

Athena didn't know what his red eyes did, but it didn't mean she would let her guard down in front of them. "Who are you working for, and what do you have with my guild?"

"Please Miss Dreyar, there is no need to be cautious of us. We do not mean any harm." Nezu tried to ease the tension, looking at the mage, whom only scoffed.

"Really now? Tell that to him." Shota had just about enough of the girl, it didn't matter if he couldn't nullify her Quirk, he had to at least immobilise her before she could do any damage.

So with a swift movement, he had moved to grab his scarf, and shot one of its ends at her.

But before it could coil and wrap around the girl, it hit something else instead. A sharp tip was right in front of him, the tip of a sword glinted against the lights in the infirmary and made Shota flinch a little at the sight of it.

"See? I'm not the one doing harm." The sudden appearance of the blade shocked everybody, whereas Athena only calmly turned her gaze to Nezu, who seemingly stood with a neutral face.

"Please, Miss Dreyar. We truly do not know how you came here nor what 'guild' you speak of. But currently, we are in my institution, U.A. High's infirmary." The small mouse hopped off from the chair he stood, and moved towards the pulled curtains of the room, pulling them open to reveal the city beyond the building.

As Athena saw the sight out the window, there was not a thing she could recognise other than the blue sky. Her heart dropped, this was definitely not Magnolia, nor anywhere in Fiore.

"Where in Ishgar am I?" Panic rose from within her the more she stared out into the unknown landscape, her thoughts couldn't comprehend the situation she was in.

The sword in her hand disappeared, Athena slid herself off from the bed she was in, the cold hitting her bare feet as she stood. Yet she ignored the stinging cold of her feet, walking closer to the window.

Odd buildings far off in the distance that clumped together into a large city of grey and blue were all she could see. Not a thing she could even recognise, and it frightened her the more she thought of being away from her guild.

"Do you believe us now, Miss Dreyar?" Nezu, who stood by the window took a look at the expression Athena was making and it surprised him. The far-off look on her face, and the fear that stood out from her eyes -Nezu almost felt sympathy for her situation. "I understand the weight of your situation is heavy, but we must ask you a few questions."

It felt as if her energy had depleted from the realisation of the new environment around her. Athena could only nod an agree to being questioned without objections as she continued to look out to the city. Her emotions were in a whirlwind right now, she didn't know whether to be mad or upset about this.

Being led back to the same bed she woke from, Athena sat by the edge of it without a word, awaiting whatever question that was about to come from the people around her. It seemed that Nezu was the first to ask, with his gaze directed to her and an authoritative aura that came.

"First is I would like to know where you came from Miss Dreyar, you mentioned a guild before?" At the mention of guild, Athena finally got her act together, snapping out from her gaze and nodding.

"Yes, I'm part of a mage guild called Fairy Tail. In the city of Magnolia, Fiore."

"A mage guild? What, like in a game?" Upon hearing something so odd Hizashi's curiosity piqued, also wanting to know more about the guild that she talked about.

"Game? I don't quite understand. Guilds are very much every mage's place of income for us." Athena slid the sleeve of the gown she had on up, exposing her shoulder to reveal the her guild mark. "Mages join only one guild, an insignia put on their skin to represent it."

Looking at the mark on her shoulder, a fond smile curled at the image of her guildmates in her mind, pulling the sleeve back down slowly again.

Having stood by the side observing, Shota even though still cautious of her, couldn't help but also question. "So, you use magic then?" Athena nodded.

"Yes, magic is used everywhere in our lives -it flows and breathes around us. You mentioned something called 'Quirk' is it something like magic?" She could recall the way Shota's eyes turned glowing red earlier, his hair and scarf floating.

"I'd assume there would be a difference. Our Quirks are physical abilities -sort of extensions- for us. The way you describe magic is that it lives." Nezu looked as if he were intrigued by the new knowledge of magic, with the little perk of his movements and the intent focus he had on Athena. 

"Ah, I see. That would explain it, the lack of ethernano and aura around you." Taking a second to properly look at each of the people around her, she noticed the dumbfounded look they had upon hearing her words. 

"Ethernano? Aura?"

"Magic isn't an infinite resource that can't run out in our bodies. It depletes, and it takes time to fill it up after finishing up your capacity.-" Waving a hand through the air sideways, Athena felt the pull of magic into her fingers, and then yellow glowed from the air around them, like fireflies floating and blinking. "-Ethernano is the source of our magic, our magic replenishes as it takes ethernano from our surroundings." 

The looks of pure awe and fascination seen from their faces, Athena couldn't help but smile a little and be reminded of the first time she found magic, full of wonder and amazement. "Our auras depend on how much magic we hold. The more magic, the bigger the aura we emit."

"So, it's kind of like charging a battery then..." Hizashi didn't feel as anxious as he was anymore, instead more curious and excited. It was all like the video games he played at home, those with mages and magical kingdoms, creatures and everything. "Do you all have different kinds of magic like one uses fire magic the other uses ice or something? If so, what's your's?" 

Upon hearing his question, Athena looked at him. The small particles around her fingertips faded and disappeared again, as her hand fell back onto her lap. The smile on her lips remained, but it was different, more melancholic than reminiscent. She nodded to his question.

"Let's just say I can wield the power of Gods themselves."
