Chapter 1

In the middle of the quiet forest, there is someone resting under the shadowed tree. A woman that has black hair with red hair color on the top like in a shape of the head band, wearing normal spaghetti strap and open long front open skirt but also wearing short which were all color light blue. She wears flat sandals on her foot and her skin was flawless. Beside her was a long like staff but the staff is form from the skin of the dragon. On her forehead, she wears a tiara that on the center has an image of a rounding dragon.

She seems relax, as she fills the wind blowing her soft hair and soon, she had felt a presence. It's not a normal presence but a dreadful presence. She took her staff with her right hand and slowly stands up. She slowly feels the presence again, to know where it was coming from. As she detects the place which is miles away from her location, she had said out loud on her thoughts.

"A presence of Dark magic… sigh, human cause too much pain"

She quickly cast a magic under neat and began to fly slowly then head to the location.

As she landed, she had noticed a small village, where they secretly live due this time, is the reign of the Dragons. If they'll be noticed, there are chances of them becoming their food. Survival is something very important if any of them want to live. Usually, human villages have few noises, indicating they are alive but silence when danger came. There are no presence of any dragons around so there should be noise of humans can be heard but, she can hear a different sound. A sound of someone crying, and it was a sound of a child, maybe around four or five years old.

She walked heading to the village. Usually she doesn't go to any human villages or even care what happened to them but this time is different. The amount of Dark Magic is large that can danger human kind, and also dragons so she need to investigate. As she enter the village which is the house is made of bamboo and straws, she see no sign of humans around. Too quiet, except the crying child. There are no signs that they are been under attack or attacked by a beast, she quickly head to the crying sound. Somehow she feels she needs to know what happened here.

As she walked, she finally found the crying child. The child was in curl as he cries, she only noticed that he wears brownish T-shirt and long pants and has a black hair. What shocking are all the villagers were also dead, they were all on the ground, and lifeless eyes can be seen to them. No sign of blood of being killed. She checks the one nearest to her and felt no heart beat, indicating its dead. She can guess that to all of them, except the child. She slowly stands up and walks to the child but stop as she had seen dark aura coming out from the child.

The child continues to cry, his cries of pain and regret. It seems the presence she had felt was came from the child. She needs to be careful from him, she can tell, his magic is out of his control. It also explains why the villagers died. 'Looks like they have done something foolish that made his magic out of control' she thought on herself. She stare the crying boy again surrounded by his dark aura. She slowly walked closer.

As the boy felt someone getting closer to him, he cried even more saying, " *sob* *sob* Don't COME! *sob* Don't Come… Or… You'll Die."

She didn't listen but continue to walk slowly. He cried even more and shouts as he cries, "DON'T COME NEAR TO ME!"

His dark magic began in rampage as its spreading around. She quickly raised her staff and began to glow as it made a barrier around her. The pressure is strong, for a child to have such strong magic is unbelievable. It seems it won't stop for a while and she can still see the crying pain even more, chanting the same word over and over again.

"Stop! No, I-I don't want to kill, no no NO!"

She needs to do something, she need to calm him down. His magic was out of control due to his panic and less experience in using magic. She quickly slash away her staff, giving her a little time to give a path to the boy and run heading to the boy and hug him.

"Calm down child, calm down, no one will die, no one will hurt, calm down" as she said that, times up, the magic effective her, this made the boy widen in tears as she saw him being pressure away but surprised, she was smiling telling him it will be alright. He continues to stare at her and slowly, the magic is calming down until it totally disappeared.

She pats his head giving her assurance. "See? No one will die"

She continues to pat his head, still giving him assurance. As he stares her, she has blue eyes, like a sapphire. He unconsciously hugs her and cried as much as he could. She can only describe three things, pain, regret and comfort. She slowly hugs the child, to keep her company. Deep in her mind, she has no idea what to do except let the boy cry and give him company. This is her first time encountering a human child, for her is such a pain.

Sunset came, they were still in the same position, but gave space on each other. They were staring the dead bodies, for her is nothing but for the kid is guilt can be seen in his eyes. Silence was still around until she broke it.

"Tell me, what this trash did to you that made you lose control to your magic?" she directly asked, still staring the dead bodies. He burred his face to his knees and answered. "They… told me I'm… an unwanted child… a… a monster."

That word shadowed her eyes. She was angry, she truly hates humans. He continue, "My p-pa-parents wanted to… kill me… and I… ngh… I a-a" "accidently killed them." She finishes it. He hates to admit it but nod. She gave a deep sigh.

"Humans are selfish, and also an idiot." She said as he looks up slowly and looked at her again. She was calm, not affected on what he just said and did.

"They are always like that. They prefer someone same as them, but as they want that, some will want to be unique and some will like to become stronger, once they did they will see them some monster, fearful or what so ever." She looked at her direct to his eyes. "Those who were born weak became strong, that's a normal nature of human beings. But what about those who were born strong? Some were thankful they were, to abuse, to fill high and so forth. But what about those who don't wish to be one? They just wanted to live normal like any others. That right now is your position kid."

With that being said, he nods as he agrees to it. He didn't wish to have this kind of power. He just wish to live happily with his family, gain friends and live in normal life, quietly on this village but now will never happen. He remembers the day they found out about his dreadful magic, his parents despise him, the villagers wanted to kill him, everyone betrayed him.

She look back on the bodies and stand up, his eyes gave follow to her eyes. She looks again on the child. "Let me tell you one thing kid. Never despise your magic."

His eyes widen, why? "Magic is mysterious yet could be a wonderful or dangerous. Right now your magic is dangerous but it was because you still don't know how to use that magic, especially control it. If you want to never repeat such thing again then maybe I could help you kid." She answered, as she able to read what he asked on his mind.

"c-ca-can you do that?" the kid asked in hesitate, can't believe someone is here, trying to help him. She nod and gave a small but gentle smile, she seems not used to it. "Yeah, although I have little knowledge about dark magic but actually you are a rare child. To wield such strong magic for such young age, you are born special." She looked and narrowed her eyes at the dead bodies with hidden anger to them, "beside, you may not like what I will said but I believe they serve to die. If you didn't do such thing, I may have killed them myself."

"Eh?" confuse to that word but didn't matter. She went in front of him and offer her right hand as her left hand is holding her staff. "Do you want to come with me?" she offered. This gave hope to the boys eyes. Slowly but surely, he took her hands as he accepted it.

"Your name?" she asked. "Z-Zeref" he answered. She gave another smile. "Zeref, what a nice name."

She pulls him up to make him stand to his own two feet.

"I'm Yua, the Dragon Priestess. A half human and dragon, please to meet you Zeref." She introduced herself. She let go his hands and turn around.

"Follow me Zeref, I'll prove to you that this trash words about you were wrong. Never forget this phrase Zeref, 'Humans are Selfish, they will never be content on what they see, hear or sense. They were also a fool to think themselves high more than anyone. That's why they are insects.' Those are my point of view about humans. What about you? Tell me your answer once you can live on your own."

He absorbs every word to his mind and heart. She somehow understands him. He doesn't know why but decide to leave it be for now. She began to walk away, leading the way. He follows her, without any hesitation or thought in mind.

When they left the village, she burn down the village with her magic by her staff. He just stared as he sees the burning village and smell of the burning bodies. The sky is getting darker. They didn't watch longer and both turn around and left.

Zeref silently 'good bye' the village on where he was born, where he was raised and where he had killed them. He left trying to find the hope of life in the future.
