Prologue: Life That Once Was, Becomes Death

-X387-

Deep black eyes looked out over the horizon. The only words that could describe this burning landscape - hell. Tears welled up in his eyes as he looked back down at the beautiful maiden clutched within his arms. How did it come to this? Who could do such horrendous acts?

"I'm." He choked the word out as he sobbed. "I'm...so sor...sorry." He bit his tongue as pain continued to wrack his body. He brushed aside locks of auburn hair to look at her one more time, his tears dripping down onto her face.

Something was swelling within him that he had never felt before as he continued to have flashbacks of once happier times. Times of the maiden smiling and laughing.

Unbelievable anger was threatening to burst out. His heart and breathing were becoming erratic, his throat began to close.

Hyperventilating he grasped his throat with one hand as the world continued to go black around him. The darkness was creeping into his soul, staining his heart black until finally, he felt something snap.

His once glossy black eyes turned red in anger as he let out a deafening roar, trembling as he done so.

Carefully he laid the maiden down and stood up. A face that once held immense sorrow now held intense rage. Clenching his teeth and fists, his dead red eyes pierced the burning horizon once again.

"They will pay." He said to no one in particular. "This miserable world will be washed of its sins."

Author's Note:

There are some spoilers in this story. This story started out with the assumption of a theory and the theory was confirmed to be true in chapter 416 of the manga. But if you don't mind spoilers then please continue!

I'm putting this in at the end, to help explain some of the timeline here.

Fairy Tail disappears on Tenroujima on the date: December 16th X784, and reappear seven years later in the year X791. The date of the Grand Magic Games is July 1st X791. The Eclipse Project happens on July 7th X791. During so it opened the portal 400 years in the past. This date I have listed happens before that. Give or take a few years.

10/4/2016 Rewrite:

Going back and editing my old chapters and rewriting them. Fixing mistakes and giving it a facelift. Overall the story is the same. Just more atmosphere has been added to the chapters. I'm hoping there will be very little mistakes such as grammar.
