Artorias The phoenix
Long ago in fiore twins were born one named artorias the other zeref. Both had great magical powers abnormal to say the least but although they were twins they couldn't be more different.
One was very dark and ominous always excluding himself from other children and the other was very confident and friendly . artorias was slighty more well built than zeref and had deep blue eyes comapred to his brothers dark orbs which was fitting due to their personalitys . they didn't really get along but cared for eachother a lot and never would falter to protect their sibling but when they were 12 something big that would change there lives forever happened.
They were both coming home from gathering wood and had there usual arguments about who was stronger and which magic was the best light or darkness they were always rivals aswell as brothers and when they approached there home their eyes enlarged at the sight they saw before them. Their house was ablaze and they could hear the screams of their parents from within artorias dropped the wood and ran towards the house wile zeref couldn't move he was froze with what he was witnessing.
as artorias ran towards the blazing house he was knocked flying by a shadowy figure that suddenly appeared "stay back boy what can you do to save them ? the man asked. Artorias with anger in his eyes knew the man was right but couldn't control himself he stood up, the ground around him started cracking the man's eyes wide at the boys power . artoias shouted to the man "was it you ? the whole area was trembling with the young boys power "it was me" the man replied "I am here for your brother". "ME ! zeref came out of his shock "what do you want with me? tears filling up his eyes as he spoke, "I have a great purpose for you child" wile he spoke artorias leapt at him with great speed the man barely had time to dodge . so fast he thought to himself "you are quite the little monster aren't you" he said and in an instant the man drew his blade and stabbed it into artorias . blood spurted out of the wound and the boy spat out a large amount of blood .
"artorias ! shouted zeref but he couldn't move he was froze with fear at this point how could he beat artorias so easily who is this man he thought to himself . "why? artorias said barely able to get the words out as blood was seeping out of his wound "because you and your parents would get in my way im taking your brother I have no need for you or them" he said coldly removing his cloak revealing himself he was a tall skinny man with white hair and purple eyes wearing a black robe with the mark of white dragon on it and a sheath at his waist for his blade.
Zeref ran at the man now over his fear and filled with pure rage at what this man has done to his family a black aura surrounded him. "No zeref stop! shouted artorias but the boy didn't listen to his twin and as he got close to the man in an instant he was struck by the hilt of his sword and fell unconscious.
Zereff shouted artorias the man then puck the unconscious boy up and placed him on his shoulder , "put him down you bastard". The man just laughed at artorias and said to him in a serious voice, "I couldn't let you live boy one day you would have been the most powerful mage alive and been a hindrance to me I am sorry but your brother will be the end of this world and all those mages who think they are so righteous but they are really no better than me if you only understood what I am talking about" he smiled to himself and said "well I guess you wont ever know now goodbye kid" and with that he shot a blast of dark magic at artorias destroying the entire surroundings along with the house which left a huge crater. "now zeref your training will begin you will forget about this day and your family I am your father now" the man was leaving with zeref , "oi y-y-you bastard" said artorias just about making it to his feet and splurted out a large amount of blood from his mouth.
"Oh my you really are a monster you should be dead" kahahaha , "I swear to you one day I will pay you back for this , ILL SEND YOU TO HELL WERE YOU BELONG YOU BASTARD! Shouted artorias . kahahaha "it's a shame to kill you boy but this is your end BEGONE! and then the man shot a much larger dark blast at artorias then turned and left with zeref.
a few hours later an old man was walking by and spotted the crater he decided to investigate , when he reached it his eyes widened in shock a small boy was laying on the ground bleeding heavily and barely alive. He rushed to the boy and lifted him "I need to get you to a hospital kid can you hear me" ? the boy was unconscious and bleeding heavily and did not reply so the old man rushed to the nearest village were there just so happened to be a great doctor. "What happened to him"? the doctor asked , "I'm surprised he's even alive" , "I have no idea" the old man said "I found him like this a few minutes away from here can you heal him"? "I'm not sure, any normal person would be dead long ago its amazing he's alive but I will try my best come back in two days" .
two days later the man called into the doctors home "well how is he" ? "its remarkable he is recovering rapidly I've never seen anything like this , he needs to rest a few more days but hell be OK" "I'm glad" said the old man "it would be a shame for such a young life to be taken I will stay around a while until he awakes please inform me when it happens", and with that the old man left . the next day artorias awoke and immediately remembered what had happened "oh your awake" smiled the doctor , "where is he"? shouted artorias "weres zeref and that bastard ill kill him".
the doctor tried to calm him down and said "I'm not sure what your talking about kid but an old man brought you here an inch away from death, I think you should take it easy or that wound might reopen". "Where is this old man maybe he knows where they went" , artorias got up and ran out "wait"! shouted the doctor but it fell on deaf ears the boy was gone. The old man was going to check up on artorias and seen him run by . artorias suddenly stopped , "oi old man are you the one that brought me here"? aha "I am what happened to you I found you in a crater barely alive" the old man asked, "I haven't got time to explain it did you see anyone else there when you found me"? "no just you" , "damn"! said artorias wile clenching his fist . "Thanks old man but I have to go I have to get that bastard" .

the old man stopped me and said "wait kid your in no shape to fight and who do you want to get tell me what happened maybe I can help" , I didn't want to be an ass hole to the guy he did save my life but that bastard took zeref I need to save him then it hit me he beat me so easily even if I found him what could I do dam it .
"oi kid are you going to tell me what happened"? he asked I sighed "I guess so" I said, so I began telling him the whole thing a few minutes later I finished the old man looked at me sincerely and said "I am truly sorry kid but going after that man now will only get you killed why don't you come with me for a wile and I can train you" he said with a wide grin hmmph this guy there was something about him he seemed like an ordinary old man but I sensed something, that's it his magical power its huge who is this guy I thought .
"oi old man what's your name"? I asked , he smiled and said "what's a name only another word used to describe someone I stopped using my name along time ago" keheheh , this guy there was something strange about him but his aura was good I sensed no evil in him at all, "I guess I don't need to know your name well I'm artorias" I said with a smile.
"So what do you say will you come with me and not be a fool to go after that man yet, you need to get stronger and I will train you" he said with a huge grin, aha "you sure are weird old man but why not" I said returning the smile "so were we headed"? I asked. "Who knows kid but we set off tomorrow so go get what you need and meet me here again in the morning" and so off I went and gathered some food and water and got a good rest ready to embark on a journey with the old guy "was I crazy"? I asked myself aha "wait for me zeref I will come for you I promise". "Oi old man lets go I'm bored of this plac"e I said, "you sure are trouble artorias" he said with a smile "okay today you training starts lets go".
8 years later artorias pov
Ahhhhh I yawned that was a tough training session yesterday my body can barely move wonder were the old man is I thought , I looked every where but he was nowhere to be seen , I started to worry it wasn't like him to just head off something must have happened "oi old man" I shouted but no reply there was no sign of him then I spotted a letter where he slept the previous night, I opened it and as I read it my heart sank : "dear artorias you have gotten so stong in the past 8 years and you are now ready to face what ever challenges lie before you I'm sorry I left like this but im not good with goodbyes although you are an idiot I am confident you are ready now you will soon understand the meaning of everything that has happened and you alone are the only hope this world has it pains me to leave this burden with you but I know you can do it go to magnolia there you will meet someone called Poseidon he's just as big of a fool as you if not worse but he is my grandson and he will help you from now on goodbye artorias I doubt we will meet again but who knows" . "sayonara old man ill miss him even though he was a weird guy aha well I guess I better go to magnolia".
I arrived in magnolia and searched around for a wile asking for Poseidon but no luck ahhh I'm tired of this I thought and this big lump of a man bumped into me, "oi watch were your going idiot"! I said . "what was that punk you got a problem" ? he replied, "yeah you"! I said and we squared up. "Look at that guy starting a fight with poseidon" some onlookers said, "yeah he must have a death wish". I widened my eyes "poseidon" ? I backed off a bit, "thought so you little punk next time I wont let it slide" he said and started walking away, "oi, are you poseidon" ?
He looked at me baffled "yeah what's it to you"? the old man was right this guy was an idiot, "I came here looking for you , your grandfather told me to find you". "Don't fuck with me punk"! he said . "what I'm telling you the truth"? "oh yeah well my grandfather has been dead for almost 12 years now so I think your lying". "what ! h h how your lying I was with the old man yesterday" , "you better stop this you bastard or ill make you regret saying it"! he charged at me his fist covered in blue lightning I quickly dodged man this guy is no joke he's strong but what magic is this I never heard of blue lightning ? "oi stop"! I grabbed his fist , "I'm not lying to you its true here's the letter he gave me".
After reading the letter he looked like he had saw a ghost "are you OK I asked"? "y- yeah how is this possible"? he looked at me confused , "I don't know but maybe we should go get something to eat and talk it over"? "yeah"! he said with a smirk "by the way what's your name"? he asked, "artorias" I said.
so I explained everything to him in the restaurant he was shocked to say the least, "so the old man never told you his name or who he was heheh I see you know ,he was the first wizard saint marco the white light", my eyes almost popped outa my head "n- n -no way he was aha that old bastard was strong but I had no idea" , "yeah he was the strongest mage of his time you must be pretty strong yourself if he trained you for 8 years and no one ever stopped my punch before but you did it with ease"?. "Aha well now I'm not so sure about it but I thought I surpassed the old man but anyway how about me and you start a team I said with a wide grin"? "your kind of an ass hole but why not I've nothing better to do around here", so we shook hands, "alright I said lets set off tomorrow we've a lot of work to do".
The next day we were leaving magnolia and as we were walking I saw something familiar no I definitely knew this mark it's the same mark of the dragon on that man's robe, "hey artorias why you so shook up what's wrong" ? "that man he might be connected to the man that took zeref and killed my parents". "I know that mark that's those apocaliptic guild bastards there a legal guild but I know those scum bags are pure evil lets ask him a few questions shall we artorias"?, he said with a smirk. "Aha maybe your not such an idiot after all". "Oi you're the idiot here"! he said , "whatever lets go that bastard will get away".
We caught up to the apocaliptic member and grabbed him, my heart stopped as I seen his face , "z-z-z-zeref" ? I asked , "how do you know my name"? "and take your hands off me before i send you and that ape friend of yours to hell". "W-w-w-hat zeref its me artorias" I said. I was really shaken up , "oi who you callin an ape you runt you'll be the one goin to hell"! posideon said . "artorias what's wrong man get yourself together you know this guy cant be your brother he doesn't even know you". "POSIDEON"! I said sternly, "stay out of this its none of your concern"!, "listen you fools I don't have time to be wasting on you so ill say this again get your hands of me or you will meet your maker"! I grabbed him by the throat and pinned him to the wall, "listen to me zeref I'm your brother how can you not remember? what did that bastard do to you"? "I warned you" he said and a dark aura appeared around him. "get outa here posideon"! I shouted . "what im stay"- "just go you idiot" I cut him off ."ok but you better take care of this guy and not get your self killed ill met you at the docks", and with that he left.
Hmmph "my magic doesn't seem to affect you who are you"? asked zereff . my own brother asking me who I am what's going on. He blasted me back through the building behind me I was in too much shock to fight and it was my brother I didn't want to hurt him but if he uses that black magic I have no choice innocent people will die if they come into contact with it. !Alright zeref if you wont listen ill make you listen I am your brother how did you forget me and why are you wearing those robes the same robes as the man who killed our parents" I shouted at him. Hahahahah "I have no brothers or sisters and my father is alive he is the master of my guild don't try to lie to me you bastard disappear", he shot a blast of black magic at me but I turned into light and appeared in front of him then punched him full force to the side of his head , he went flying towards a large building but landed on his feet and look as if he took no damage at all.
Hmmph "you are quite the pest you know that id love to destroy right now but I have to go, we will meet again artorias was it hahahaha farewell". "Wait zeref" I shouted but he was gone what the fuck was that just now how can he not remember me dam I clenched my fist he always was strange but now the look in his eyes it was , it was pure evil what did that bastard do to you zereff I promise you brother I will save you and I will kill that bastard I promise.
"Oi posideon lets go", "what happened back there and was that really your brother"? "yeah but he's changed I saw just the desire to kill in his eyes I dunno what that bastard did to him but he's pure evil", "I know I sensed his magic that black aura it just gave off an aura off pure death". "were going to that guild" I said "do you know where it is"? "yes its on the outskirts of magnolia but I have to warn you They only have 6 members and then their master all very powerful mages it wont be easy artorias we might not be able to beat them" he said with a worried look in his eyes. "Then ill start my own guild here today it will be called phoenix soul and we will destroy those bastards"!
