Summary:
When you came in another world, you try to save the characters you liked and let other die or fend themselves.
My name is Deiryah Gíldottïr, I died and was sent to another world. Now in the world of TVD, I was not an ordinary human or even a human at all, but I didn't exactly want to involve myself in the drama, I hate stringing time. That's why, instead of trying to get involved, I opened a café. It was named after my father, 'Gíl Café', the one Café that was open for all. And no fight was going to be happening in my Café. I don't care who you are, my Café, my baby; my motto.
But of course, my baby was an attraction to all supes. After all, the main characters from the show seemed to like my Café, some peace I want... Sigh.
Fontina Ori-chan: As usual, i don't own TVD or TO. This story is really about Deiryah building her café. Also about the employees that's going to work there. Also, Deiryah's face claim is Dove Cameron.
Chapter 1: Reborn from Ashes? Sure
"Why did I got sent here anyway? Can't it be in Harry Potter or Buffy or well, even an anime is better. Though I am complaining." -D.G
The name's Deiryah Gíldottïr. Today was supposed to be my birthday, the 20th birthday of my short life that also ended that day. Saturday was not my favorite day now. Had it ever been? Monday was even worse, but let's talk about the fact that Saturday was the day of my death.
If I could write my own eulogy in my own funeral and say it, it would be, "To my friends and family, I am sorry for trying to help our house shitty financial problem. I love you all, but if you try to went after me, I don't recommend it. Dying sucks, and I'd prefer you all alive." Or something along that line.
Anyway, after dying, I watched my family for a little while, before my time was up on this earth and darkness surrounded me.
I really thought that was the end, but I woke up again.
Now, when you woke up from your own death to a world of the living in a hospital bed, what would you do? You'll probably have a breakdown or started thinking 'what the fuck just happened' and try to find answer.
Me? I didn't exactly had the time to try finding out or time to think about what happened when I was once again sucked by the darkness.
When I wake the second time, I was not in the hospital bed, but sitting on a chair in an office in front of the main desk of that office with someone sitting there smiling creepily at me.
I was, by any means, not that nice with my words, "Who the fuck are you?"
The guy was still smiling, albeit a little more dangerously now. I could tell he was pissed. But do I care? Nah. I'm dead, if the worse happen, I won't exactly care about it.
He sighed, why? Idk, "Well, ms. Gíldottïr, you were dead. But your soul had strayed from the line of the purgatory and I accidentally sent you to the wrong world that you're supposed to reincarnate in."
Okay, I may have a deadpan on. But it was coming anyway. "Who are you?" I asked again.
"I am who you call guardian of the universe."
"8th grade syndrome?" The guy just send me an irritated look. Probably because he just wanted to sound cool, because I'm pretty sure that's not what he really was called.
"No, but I really am one. It just sound cooler. But my job was just sending stray soul to another world where they should be going to. But everyone calls me Gerald."
"That's a basic name."
"At least it's a name."
"Fair point." I nodded, deciding not to argue anymore and start to get real. "So, what world did you send me to?"
Gerald sighed, "I sent you to Earth-F1385 or you mortals tend to call them 'The Vampire Diaries'." Okay, now I understand why he said that he sent me to the wrong world.
Look, I'm fine with reincarnation to another world thingy, though I would be a little sad leaving behind my precious poor family who couldn't even afford a fried chicken, I would be fine. I was always obsessed with fiction anyway, dreaming about how it would be if I were to get send to another world and living as one of the characters, remembering my past and fixing things that would harm my favorite characters even if I would be the villain and die in the process, yeah, I would be fine with that.
But when he revealed that I was in TVD or Vampire Diaries? Yeah, that's as something I wouldn't be able to accept. For a bit.
"WHAT?! Why the fuck vampire diaries! You know that world was fucked up- even though the men and women are fine as hell- the world's shitty! I didn't even bother reading the novels on that show!"
"Well, I can't move your soul now that you're there. That's difficult. And there's 98% the higher ups wouldn't let you change it anyway. Unless you died. BUT I tell you this, it's not worth it." He seemed to know that i was planning on killing myself to get out of that world.
"Why did I got sent here anyway? Can't it be in Harry Potter or Buffy or well, even an anime is better. Though I am complaining." I groaned in frustration, "How the fuck did you even get it wrong? Shouldn't you be- like- god-power like?"
He sighed again, "I'm no god, stray soul. I was only being put here by God and my higher ups. I don't know anything but the worlds and how to put you. And... I know you've been asking it in your head, you were supposed to be in Earth-F1379 or Twilight."
I was speechless. Twilight? I hit my head on the desk, hard. And keep on muttering 'twilight? Twilight?' Like a mentally ill person. I even ignored the blood pouring out of my head.
Gerald slumped in his seat. He knew that she was going to react like that. And was waiting for her to get her shits back.
It took awhile, sure, but I stopped and stare at Gerald like a dead girl with dried blood all over my face. He didn't bother cleaning it up after he healed me, not that I blame him. I don't want it to be gone, anyway. I was trying to get some relief by the blood all over my face that I didn't end up in that more shitty world. At least TVD was a world for all supes, bar it's shitty dramas.
"You're calm." It was a statement, I know that much.
I rolled my eyes, "yeah, I am. Thanks for that mistake, I'd rather be in TVD than Twilight. At least in TVD vampires burn. Now, I really doubt that was all you wanted to tell me."
He nodded, now serious, with how his eyes hardened, "We're going to talk about your species."
I also straighten myself in my seat, "continue." Now, we talk business.
"Since your soul is from another world, you'll have to have a little change in yourself. One of them are your species or race. It, of course, is supernatural. In 'TVD'," he said it as if quoting me, he probably was, "you were never human. Every souls have their own body in another world, most of them are humans, though they have connection to the supernatural one way or another, you, Deiryah, did not. But you are a supernatural yourself.
"Your race had always been off radar, or rather, almost impossible to awaken. But that was because what awaken your bloodline was something that have 99,9% chance of surviving. Most of your predecessor did not make it and died in the process. But you, you're in luck. While in your world, you would be dead, you were sent to live again in another world. And with this, you came out alive of the transition.
"Your race was supposed to be extinct in the world of TVD thousands of years ago, even before the immortality spell was made. This was because of the risk at dying and some that lived was hunted down and died also. With the other side have yet to be created, they did not stay and goes straight to the purgatory, even though some managed to live, it being in the same way you did, and one of them came to your world. Where you are born and thus continuing the bloodline. You are the last of your kind in this planet of a universe, ms. Gíldottïr."
He hadn't said anything about what I was. But in the short time I met him, I know that it was his personality working on. So I asked instead, "What am I?"
Gerald smirked, and damn that was somewhat hot, "You, ms. Gíldottïr, is a Phoenix."
Pin drop anyone? Silence filled the office that stood in the nowhere and yet everywhere. The two of them were staring at each other. One was smirking, the other was just sitting with a blank face.
Then I was done processing that information and I shout, "A PHOENIX!?" I probably have sparkles in my eyes. Why? I was... Ecstatic. Obviously. I'm a freaking Phoenix! I can burn whoever I want when they were pissing my off and that was awesome. "I'm a Phoenix, a Phoenix. This is freaking awesome! What's my power? There's no way I'm just any ordinary bird that burn fire and just throw fire to burn things, right? What is it? What is it?"
You can't blame me for being a kid, I mean, if you were me you're going to be all giddy, right?
Gerald just chuckled at my reaction, and he started to tell me the powers I needed to know about myself, knowing that I had no one to teach me but him in my new world that I now accepted as my new one because my original world before the mistake was as shitty as a diaper.
Turns out, because now that I'm a Phoenix, which mean the bird that symbol immortality because it died after its lifespan ended and came back as a baby bird from its own ashes. Which that means I was immortal. And if I died, burned or not, I would heal. Though not like the burn-ashes-baby. But dead-heal-alive. Even a thorn out heart or head cut off from neck would heal, though it takes time, I healed at least and lived.
Then the fire-thingy, I was able to flick my wrist and a fire would appear. Convenient.
Then my hair can also float in the air or turn into fire and flaring up like a bonfire. It was awesome because I tried it and I looked cool and badass. Even Gerald praised it. That guy was hard to please, I tell you. Probably came with the time he spent in this place.
I could fly, also. And I don't exactly need wings to do it. Well, I do, but my wings was always there, Gerald's words, not mine. You could see it as clear as day at night and when I fly, but when I fly in daylight, it was invisible. Convenient.
For survival, Gerald was the one who gave me an ability to turn invisible. With wearing a pair of earrings, it was ring earrings and I could attach some ornaments on them to make them stylish, that was my idea not his. Oh, and they're sharp and silver and also have a bit of obsidian stone in them because—surprise, surprise—those were the weakness to werewolves and vampires. So, when someone try to take it, they would bleed and burn from the contact with it. Good, I don't want my invisibility to be gone.
Gerald also told me that I could use magic, because of me being a Phoenix, thus also an symbol to the element of fire, I was able to use magic. But instead of nature, I use my own core to use magic. And I was basically a pyromaster. The master of all fire, even the hottest fire. And yes, that also meant the sun.
Phoenix was said to be born from a star or a ball of fire out in the space and came down to earth to bring warmth, but when phoenixes went extinct, the clouds revealed the sun and let it to warm earth. It was Gerald, again, that told me it. And I keep it in my mind, just in case I would need it.
Then there are more, but it would be too long to list, and I think you should just see it later through this. Fighting~
"Well, that's all. But if I were you, I would look out for more. 'They' always messes up with people. And live a happy life in your new reality."
I gave him a nod, "thank you, Gerald. I hope we can meet again some times in the future. Maybe after I settled down and get a stable life?" He smiled at me, "it's set then. See you later in the future." I gave him a smile as I drifted away from that office. The last thing I saw was Gerald's smile. One that I would keep in my memory lane, forever.
When I woke up again in my new reality, I was still in the hospital bed, but now, I'm not alone anymore.
Fontina Ori-chan: did i broke the rule of 'author'? No, i don't think so. it's just that i decided to write this one down and it is crossposted on AO3 and Wattpad. Well, i haven't published it on Wattpad just yet. But I'll work it out. I hope you enjoyed the first chapter, i actually like this story so far. I'm planning on seeing how my character grow to be a successful Café owner and how the Characters from the shows going to react to her presence. Especially when she's a Phoenix. i mean, being a phoenix where burning was a thing in this world, it's gotta be good right? And yes, my GílCafé won't be suddenly popular, it's going to start with zero to fantastic.
Another thing, can you guys suggest a good town for our café? i was kinda at lost on thsi one, oh and this is needed for the 3rd chapter. So the suggestion ends when it came out.
