So, remember in the most recent Legends chapter I mentioned to be on the lookout for this story? Well, here it is! I wanted to thank Blue again for helping me write this chapter, without her help I doubt this story would have been able to get this out to you all as quickly as it did. As it stands right now, I'm more than likely going to discontinue Crimson Hunter as this is basically a complete overhaul of that story… I'm sorry to everyone who liked and found it enjoyable. I hope this will provide compensation.

On another note, what should I do with Bane of Fairies? Should I continue it or not? What do you all think about the concept of it? is it something worth exploring further?

Disclaimer: I don't own Fairy Tail, I only own MY OCs

Enjoy the first chapter!

(Rosemary Village)

The village of Rosemary was nothing too spectacular, save for the view that its residents got whenever they decided to look at the horizon. However, Eren didn't find it spectacular, and he never cared much for the view. Why would he? A scenery is something planted on this earth for the foolish enjoyment of foolish human beings. He wasn't stupid, he wouldn't be sucked in.

However… Views weren't all bad, he supposed. There were some views that could never be taken out of his head. To him, a view didn't represent a pretty sky, or a nice landscape, but a memory. Memories seared into the back of his skull until they burned and festered, working their way through his entire being until they eventually surfaced.

He took a heavy breath. His Crystron crawled up to his shoulder, hesitantly snuggling its spiky head under his chin. Silently saying to him that everything was alright. That everything would end up as it should be.

He cracked a blue eye open, taking a tentative glance at it. Once he was quite sure no one was looking, he gave it a pat on the head before gently putting it back within the confines of his robes. It was too valuable to be rough with.

The wind carried with it a familiar scent. Freshly clipped grass, mountain air, the faint aroma of salt, and daffodils.

Ah, now there was a view.

Two young children, siblings, twins, running across flower-covered hills, the murderous summer sun beating down on them from above. However, they hardly paid attention to it. They were having too much fun. Their minds were hazy with euphoria, and perhaps a little bit of overheating.

As they stood at the top of the hill, its highest point making them feel like giants, the world felt like it was bowing to their every whim. Almost as if they were royalty.

They could see the ocean in the distance, quietly chattering about all the grand plans they had. How they would travel across the seas and discover new worlds just for them, adventure being every step of their journey.

The boy looked at his sister, her arms outstretched as wide as they could possibly go, welcoming a sudden breeze. Her laugh was carried away with it, echoing in the distant mountains.

They both fell back into the grass, their chests heaving with an exhausting day of fun. They could lie there forever, just the two of them. Watching as the leaves would fall in autumn, the snow would fall in winter, and the greenery would return in spring, along with the scents and sights of the summer landscape.

The girl would try and drag him up from his place in the grass, begging him to climb the tallest tree with her. He would refuse, but she would go without him, her shadow being clearly cast onto the hills below. This was the perfect view.

The boy closed his eyes for just a moment listening to the sounds around him, but then it was gone.

Eren opened his eyes, a cold look in them. It didn't matter anymore. He had no need for such views. Such views were only meant to distract him from his end goal.

(R-system)

The scenery was different this time, instead of a warm sun, there was but cold darkness. Instead of children playing, there were children working. Working on a project of great importance to their masters.

Masters, just thinking of those masked men, brutally beating anyone who so dared slack off or take a quick break to catch their breath caused him to growl in anger. To him they were nothing. Those who ruined his life and his happiness, they were below dirt. And he was not alone in those thoughts. Many other slaves quietly shared them as well, silently waiting for the day when they would finally earn their long-desired freedom.

What used to be the beautiful scenery of him and sister- is now gone. Instead, there stood the hideous scenery of an angry sea. It wasn't the calm, majestic thing the two children had hoped to sail across one day, it was a terrible and foreboding sight.

It surrounded a tower that was even more so of the two. The cold… The chains…

The pain felt every single day. But… Through all of that, his most important view was still there. She was still there, at least for the moment.

But then… He blinked again. She was gone, they took her. She didn't come back. His scenery was now monotone, and desolate, and hideous, and-.

Waking his eyes once again, Eren gazed upon the world that he'd grown accustomed to. The world that didn't care about what he went through. His Crystron took notice of his discomfort and made a noise asking to be held. Again, making sure no one was around, he held it. Held it in such a way, that one would easily mistake it for a parent hugging their child.

"I don't know if you can understand me, but if you can. I need you to listen to what I have to say." Eren said to his little companion. "One of these days, these memories are going to be too much and I'll eventually break. I need you to be there for me when that happens. I'll need you to be there for me when the rest of them won't."

The little crystron merely snuggled up under his neck in response. A silent gesture, but one that he easily understood. Once again, he held his little companion, until once again he returned the crystron to his coat pocket for protection.

Hearing the sound of his guild off in the distance combined with the scents of the landscape around him brought forth another view, another memory he wished wouldn't reveal itself.

The screams and tears of children can be heard. Numerous slaves being held in their cells, waiting for either their next round of nourishment or the order to return to work. In one particular cell, lay a group of five children, each having been enslaved here for a while. When the guards opened the cell door, they each thought of the torture that would inevitably come. But instead of the torture like they all thought, the guards merely smirked before throwing in another child. To them, this blue-eyed, scarlet-haired child was undeserving of what happened to them. For they could easily see the innocence that this child desperately tried to hide from everyone around him. Only once the guards were out of sight did they make any move to welcome their new cellmate.

At first, the introductions were brief, their new companion wanting to be alone for a majority of the time. Writing on whatever he could get ahold of. Such a scenario would continue until eventually they got through to their new companion and got him to open up to the rest of them. It was then when they found out the truth about him. How he had come from a raid on his village, much like everyone else in his cell. About how he had a twin sister who he longed to see once again. It was then when his cell-mates knew his name, Eren. However, it was just Eren, he had no surname whatsoever, he was just Eren. But to them this was just fine, not everyone needed to have a surname and their new friend was a shining example of that belief. As time continued on the six of them grew closer, forging bonds of friendship unbreakable to all but the harshest of factors. For they knew that they could trust each other with their lives. At least that's what it seemed to the outside observer. To Eren on the other hand, he could see that they didn't trust him as much as they trusted each other. This hurt him a little, as he saw them as his best friends that he could rely on for anything. But he had come to accept this, they had spent more time together and were more comfortable with each other. Of course, their friendships would be stronger.

The view shifts once again, still at the tower that had become their home. A group of slaves had planned a revolution, an overthrow of their masters. He saw her at the forefront of it. She led her companions to their much-desired victory. For a moment it seemed as though that it would succeed, that everyone would finally be able to escape. But that's not how it turned out in the end. As the revolution was at its peak Jellal Fernandes, the one who initiated this whole uprising had suddenly called it off. Claiming to everyone that they should remain in the tower. That if they followed him, they could attain true freedom. Most of the captured slaves had already escaped by this point. Leaving the tower to try and find whatever family they had left.

Sometime after, they were freed from that tower. Only to be put in the service of another. A man who came to the tower looking for those with the highest magic potential. Of the ones that remained, six were chosen to leave with him. Six children who had occupied the same cell during their time there.

(Oración Seis headquarters)

"Hey Eren, you paying attention?" The one known as cobra brought Eren out of his musings. "Brain needs you for something, wouldn't say what for though." They were his new comrades. The ones with whom he survived his enslavement with. The ones who were there for him, when She betrayed and left him. When she never came back for him when they promised that they would always remain together. They never left him, and so he would never leave them.

"Right, sorry… must have been caught up with something. Has Midnight returned from his assignment yet?"

"Not as of yet. Should be soon though. When he gets back, Angel and I were going to look for that again. If you finish in time, want to tag along? I know Angel's been wanting to spend some time with you recently."

"That she has, although I can't imagine why though. She doesn't seem like the type to hang around others."

Each of his friends within the Oración Seis went by a specific codename. Anyone of them alone spelled trouble but have two or three of them together meant the end of anyone foolish enough to stand in their way. Eric's codename was Cobra, Sorano's was Angel, Richard was Hoteye, Sawyer's was Racer, and Macbeth's was Midnight. Eren's codename was the least known among the six, however, those who know it do not speak of it in fear the power that he holds. His codename was Scarlet. Named for both the color of his hair and the color of his magic. A deep scarlet red, both beautiful and terrifying at the same time to those few who have witnessed it.

"Well whatever, are you going to talk to him or not?" Eric asked, quite perturbed at how careless his companion and friend was acting at the moment.

"Yeah, yeah I'm going. No need to make a fuss about it. Oh if I do finish it in time, I'd love to come with you two. It's been a while since the three of us had done something together." Taking a few crystals from one of his pockets, he proceeded to eat them one by one as he made his way over to brain's location and the assignment that he had.

Making his way across the multitude of hallways and corridors, he eventually found the room he was looking for. Despite the lack of any decoration, the Oración Seis often used this room for their pre-assignment briefings. Generally, through the use of lacrima or a thought projection, as Brain would more than likely not be present to conduct them in person. As he walked into the room, a thought projection of their guild master appeared from one of the darkened corners.

"I hear you have an assignment for me old man. Mind telling me what it's about? I don't have all day you know." While his face showed that he could care less about his guild master, in truth, he had a deep respect for the man. He came and rescued them from their captivity when no one else would. He gave them a home and taught them magic when the world rejected them. The Oración Seis owed their lives to him, and he knew it.

"Yes, as a matter of fact, I do Scarlet. What I want you to do is simple, all that you have to do is…"

So now that the first chapter is said and done, what did you all think of it? was it better than the original?

Feel free to leave a review and I hope you all have a fantastic morning, afternoon, or evening, everyone!
