Daybreak

Daybreak Chapter: A Change of Perspective (夜明け編・見通しの変更, Yoake-hen: Mitōshi no Henkō) is a storyline written by Perchan; which is a spin-off of one of most beloved storylines on the fanon, Fairy Tail: Dawn; which is written by Per and her partner, Darkrai. Unlike the main storyline, which focuses on Akatsuki and their rebellion against the, A Change of Perspective centers around Tsuruko Sejren, a character who is relatively unknown. Very much like Dawn, this story is set in an alternate timeline—but A Change of Perspective takes this further, having almost no relation with the guilds of nowadays; though some characters from Dawn may show up.

Synopsis
The story starts when Tsuruya Sejren, a normal young man, wakes up to find himself mysteriously transformed into a girl; eventually, the mysterious Knight of the Silver Plains tells 'her' that she had been 'struck with a terrible fate'; and he can change her back if he retrieves an legendary armour that the Black Knight stole from him; though she has to do so in seven days, otherwise, the Knight of the Silver Plains must depart.

Unfortunately, a sinister moon hangs in the sky above Hargeon, and seems to be growing larger with each passing day. Tsuruya, now known as Tsuruko soon discovers to her horror that the evil Black Knight has taken control of the moon and will drop it on Hargeon at the end of the week, annihilating everyone and everything.

Following a confrontation with the Black Knight in which she gains a mysterious eye, Tsuruko travels back in time to the moment where she first woke up on July 6—a week ago and when she first changed. She must now use the timeloop to solve the mystery of the Black Knight and find a way to stop Hargeon's destruction. But the clock is always ticking, and the moon is forever looking down upon her progress...

Beginning/Woods of Darkness Arc

 * Unneeded Changes
 * A Terrible Fate
 * The Lost Woods

Main Character

 * Tsuruko Sejren: The main protagonist of the story; formally known as Tsuruya Sejren; he was turned into a woman via an accident. Desperately wanting to return to normalcy; 'Tsuruko' decides to take up the offer of the mysterious 'Knight of Silver Plains', which is to infuse her newly acquired magical sword with three elements of nature and take down the evil Black Knight with it. Tsuruko is rather cold and unprofessional, and refuses to look upon her recent situation as anything other than a curse, though she does defrost with time.

Supporting Characters

 * The Knight of the Silver Plains: An enigmatic figure; claiming to know an exact method on how to change Tsuruko back. He travels through different lands searching and collecting a wide variety of armours. He is most known for his erratic, sudden mood swings and is considered to be disturbing by Tsuruko, mostly because of his many mysterious and abnormal behaviors. A long time ago, the Black Knight took the Erebus Armour from him. When Tsuruko encounters the Knight of Silver Plains, he claims he knows of a way to return her to her former shape; first, however, she would need to claim back the Erebus Armour in exchange. Naturally, things are not all they seem with this man.
 * Gary Straights: A wandering Magic God; Gary is a member of the Magic Council; Gary is a kind young man who's thuggish appearance belies his sweetheart personality. He is stated as one of the strongest characters in the series, and is currently being pursued by various magical organizations seeking his power and knowledge, but he has managed to elude all of them with ease. He crosses paths with Tsuruko more than a few times, managing to help her out all of those times.
 * Kazuya Kirameki: Tsuruya's childhood friend; Kazuya is the son of one of the Guild Master of Bloody Knights Guild. He is unaware that Tsuruya and Tsuruko are the same person; and seems to have a bit of a crush on Tsuruko. In their childhood, Kazuya became more and more attached to Tsuruya as Tsuruya confided in him until an accident left Tsuruya in a coma for two years; the two never saw each other again until the start of the story. After crossing paths with Exialia Halphas, he drops out of college to work for her as an investigator. Meanwhile, Tsuruko and Kazuya's relationship continues to grow throughout the remainder of the series.

Main Antagonist

 * The Black Knight: The evil Black Knight is the supposed main antagonist of the story; by using the Erebus Armour which he stole from the Knight of the Silver Plains, he becomes a powerful sorcerer using Darkness Magic and a competent swordsman. Using this new-found magical might, he wreaks havoc on Hargeon, ultimately attempting to destroy it by bringing the moon down upon the land. The Black Knight is self-centered and has an affinity for mischief. Due to his behavior, he is often called an oni. The Black Knight is resented by most humans, because of the tricks he plays on them, though he finds companionship in Tsuruko, whom he calls his 'soulmate', due to their similarities.

Supporting Antagonists

 * Deepland Warrior: The Guardian of the Darkness Woods; the Deepland Warrior is a shaman who has exiled himself from his tribe by virtue of being born insane. He is the only Clockwork Being/ hybrid in existence; and due to the immense power of both races, he is considered akin to a god. Despite his insanity and antagonism towards Tsuruko, he is known to be a great source of exposition and can and will assist Tsuruko in her quest. Notably, he is the only one of the Three Guardians not to perish in his initial appearance.
 * Blazing Dragon: The Blazing Dragon, also known as Enko by Tsuruko, is the Guardian of the Volcano of the Ancients and a serpentine dragon, based on a traditional Chinese dragon. Despite it's appearance, it is indeed female. By the time of the story, the Black Knight has used the fierce creature to secure Hargeon from intrusion and by feeding the native humans to the Blazing Dragon, to "make an example" to other people that might revolt against him. As it turns out, the Blazing Dragon is a dragon that Tsuruko bought as a young child. When she finds that she is her opponent, it is revealed that she was corrupted by black magic, requiring Tsuruko to begrudgingly kill the dragon.
 * Aquatic Menace: The Aquatic Menace is a chutulu-esque creature created by the Black Knight once he acquired the Erebus Armour, it has complete control over the water in which Tsuruko fights it, moving swiftly through it and creating long amoeba-like "limbs". This monster is responsible for the receded state of the waters of Hargeon as well as the frozen condition of the mountains. The menace itself is not the transparent muscle-like tentacle, but the vulnerable red nucleus often safeguarded under the muck of the thick liquid. This nucleus can manipulate the water in any way it likes, creating one (and eventually two) large water tentacles as the battle goes on. The Aquatic Menace is the only one of the Three Guardians to have no further role other than a beast to be slain.

Trivia

 * The author does not shy away from foul language in this storyline.
 * Additionally, there will be some explicit content; though more egregious cases will be cut due to most of the userbase being young.
