Ever since I saw Silver in the manga, I knew that he was related to Gray. After the last chapter, I am convince that he is Gray's dad.
Just a warning: I am speculating a lot!
Summary: Silver's thoughts about Gray.
Gray. Silver thought bitterly as he glazed upon the young ice mage. He had thought that this boy had met his end when Deliora destroyed his village. But he figured if anyone could survive an attack from Demon of Destruction, it would be that pain in his ass.
How he hated this boy. His every existence was an insult to his pride. It would being him absolute joy to end this little bastard's life. After all, this boy was the embodiment of all his weaknesses.
It was during a moment of weakness that he had saved that human woman from drowning in a frozen river. To this day, he still did not understand why he would waste his time to save her. He was an all-powerful demon with the power to freeze even the strongest flame of hell. And she was nothing but a worthless insect. And it was in that weakness, that he had lost his heart to this human woman.
It didn't make sense to him. He could have any female demon he wanted, but he chose to be with this woman. It's not like He loved her. But he did lust for her earthly delights. And unfortunately his lust had overshadowed his common sense. Never in a thousand years could he imagine siring a child with a human. He thought it was impossible. But he did. Though his lover was thrilled by this, seeing her round belly made him sick to his stomach. It showed how he had lost to his lust.
After the child was born, he has contemplated killing this thing to hide his shame. But looking into the face of his newborn son, he had lost his killer disposition and spared the boy out of something. He couldn't say love because as a demon, he was incapable of love. No. he convinced himself that he had spared the boy out of pity.
It was probably the same pity that made him decided to stay with his human family. He went as far as to relocate them to a small village in the north in an attempt to protect them. Even though he stayed out of pity, he had to admit that the eight years he had spent with these humans were the happiest of his life. Watching his son grow up had filled him with such pride. A pride that he thought was impossible for a demon to feel.
He had foolishly believe that the master would never find out about his lover and son. He had clearly underestimated his master. Silver would pay dearly for his arrogance. Just thinking of the torture he had endured made his scar burn. But the worst was yet to come.
As he laid bleeding, his master had given him the order to unleash Deliora upon the village where his family resided. Master wanted to these humans to die by his hands. He knew it was dangerous to disobey his master. So with a heavy heart, Silver lead this titan to the village where his family lived. As the village was reduced to rumble, he finally understood why his master did this. As a member of the Nine Demon Gates, he needed to be the strongest without any weakness. His human family was his true weakness. And in order to conquer his weakness, it needed to be destroyed by his own hands.
It's for the best. Silver thought as a single tear ran down his cheek.
Seventeen years later and once again, he had to come face to face with his own weakness. Pity, Lust, Pride, Arrogance. That is all he saw when he looked into the face of his son.
Gray is my weakness. He thought as he readied his next attack. And I must destroy him.
A/N: I'm such a horrible person to make Silver's past so depressing! Hope you enjoy reading this.
