Meredy had been a lost girl. She was born into a happy and warm town, with plenty of family and friends who cared deeply for her. Meredy lived. She was for once, happy. Meredy felt as if nothing could befall her, that life is perfect, but she was sorely mistaken. While she didn't expect it, her town held a terrible illusion. The followers of Zeref proclaimed a certain group of keys could resurrect the dark wizard. One of those key's belonged to Meredy's father. Her father didn't know the truth, and Zeref's followers didn't either.
The town was always under tension, but Meredy never noticed. She still believed. One night, the fire erupted. It was all a blur to her. Three mysterious wizards attacked her town. All Meredy can remember is running with her friends, one minute they were there, the next they weren't. For the first time in her life, she cried. She cried and cried as if her whole world collapsed on its head. In that moment, Meredy realized her life could never be perfect. When everything seemed bleak for the girl, a beacon of hope entered her life. The beacon was a tall, curvaceous 16 year old by the name of Ultear.
The girl saw the 6 year old crying her eyes out and looked with a sincere glare. Meredy wasn't sure what to do other than find people and cry. She slowly made her way to the woman, crying as she embraced her, trying to console the child. The woman held her warmly as the people around her began to speak. Meredy became very scared at the blonde haired one, but the black haired girl holding her stopped him. This was the moment that Ultear became Meredy's step mother. Years have past since then and Meredy learned the many ways of magic. The ironic thing is, Meredy became one of the very people who invaded her town, a Grimoire Heart wizard. After a fateful assault on Tenrou Island, shocking news burst this girls bubble once more.
"It was her" I thought to myself as the shocking news flooded my whole system. It was Ultear, my Ultear who destroyed my town, my friends, my family. The woman who cared so much for me was sitting directly across from me, with a guilty look on her face. All I could think about was my regret at trusting her. Meanwhile every set of numbers in my head began to separate, too much thought for me to bear. "Number 14, Gray Fullbuster, Number 1, Ultear Milkovich." I thought as I got up in the boat. In that moment I was too deep in thought to realize what Ultear said. As I realized she said something, I turned to see a horrible sight, a sword deep in Ultear's chest.
The woman who had cared for me and tricked me, sank into the water like a stone. The horror was, I couldn't move. Whether it be learning the truth or fear, I let my mother drown. No matter what I tried to do, I couldn't bring myself to help her. Then I was lost. I cried. I cried and cried as I looked around the boat, and back to the island. I didn't know what it was, but I could sense something coming. I knew the force was going towards the island, but I went there anything. I threw off my cloak and jumped in the water.
At that point my body had taken over and made me swim back to the island. The rest happened in a matter of seconds. A feeling of complete shock and awe overtook me as a massive black dragon clouded the sky. I became more surprised when I saw them, the numbers on my list, attacking the dragon with all their heart. Then I learned something about magic, the more you put in, the more you get out. I ran towards them trying to help, but alas, I was unable before the flash happened. The flash that clouded my whole vision. In a split second I was running, in the next all was dark. And thats where I lay for seven years. Seven years of guilt.
