AN: The idea came for this fic, after I watched The Gray(an amazing but depressing movie)
It left me in the mood to write something tragic, and this idea popped into my mind.
My first attempt at writing romance and tragedy, so let me know how I did. R&R&Enjoy.
Prologue
Time Period: Unknown
Jellal Fernandes was on his knees in front of the council. "For your crimes against the world, we punish you to an eternity of suffering. May you burn in hell with Zeref.", Guran boomed. "Bring in the girl.", Guran ordered the guard.
A different guard came back 10 minutes later, with Erza Scarlet. Apparently Erza had been breaking the noses of those who got near her with headbutts, before she was knocked unconscious. The guards threw her body unceremoniously on the ground, and retrieved their spears.
"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS? WHY IS SHE HERE!", Jellal screamed. "She is part of your punishment.", Guran answered. Some of the council members looked away, ashamed of what they were doing. "She is innocent, but in order for you to suffer to the fullest extent, she must also suffer. Place the binding curse on them.", Guran ordered the mages in the room.
The ten mages surrounded the two and began to chant an incantation. Jellal felt the area around his right eye burn, as a intricate symbol of red appeared. The same symbol then appeared around Erza's wrist. The burning pain awoke her from unconsciousness.
"We are done", the head mage informed the council. Guan nodded his head, "Kill them." The two guards approached the two, with spears at the ready.
Erza began to tear up, as she was about to tell Jellal how she felt about him. "Jellal,...I lov", the guard pierced Erza's head before she could finish. Before Jellal could get a sound out, the other guard pierced his heart.
"Let their never ending pain began.", Guran said, watching the blood seep on the floor.
AN: Their punishment will become abundantly clear as the story goes on.
Anyway let me know what you think.
