My Regrets
It has been seven years since that tragic day. Seven years since I witnessed the eradication of Tenrou Island. Seven years since the strongest members of Fiore's most powerful guild vanished off the face of Earthland.
After that day, I was granted the promotion in the Magic Council I had always desired but instead of feeling elated, the smiling faces of those I had betrayed flashed through my mind.
I had only spent a week with them. Even though that time was brief, to me it was one of the longest, most important and happiest moments in my life. I had intended to destroy their bliss but their bright smiles, their crazy antics and the love and determination they shared with each other, made me want to bask in their glow.
I decided to turn my back on the Council that meant so much to me. I promised that sweet, caring child that I would help her guild and she put her innocent trust in me. Yet, as soon as I heard the name Acnologia straight from the mouth of that dreaded, black wizard, I abandoned you all. I did nothing but watch as Acnologia erased you all out of existence.
It has been seven long years since then and I still picture that scene over and over again in my mind. I'm sorry. I should have helped you. I should of warned you about the terror that was coming to your holy land. If I had, maybe you would have escaped. Maybe you would still be in this world, causing havoc for us Council members.
These are my regrets. I will never be able to atone for my cowardice. I'm still a pathetic coward, even today. I couldn't even muster up half of the spirit that you all had, to apologize to your friends left behind.
If, by some miracle, that you all apppear again in this world, then there is something I would like to tell you all. It will never be enough to make up for the deep sorrow and regrets I have inflicted on myself and your loved ones but it is the only way I am able to repent now. The words that I wish to say to you, from the depths of my heart, are:
"I'm sorry, Fairy Tail."
A/N: This fic was done in Doranbolt's (Mest) POV. I don't actually believe that Natsu and Lucy and everyone died but the majority of Fiore would believe that they are dead, especially Mest because he saw the island get destroyed. So, anyway, thanks for reading and please review.
