So hey everyone! This is my very first fanfic and before we get started, I'm gonna let you guys know that I'm still a beginner in writing so don't flame me when you see errors in the fic and also, this is just a 'test run' I haven't plan anything yet. I just want to write something cause this fic has been lingering in my mind.
I'm pretty sure you guys will enjoy this fic as soon as I can get at least maybe about 5 to 10 chapters done and I may need a beta reader. Though I don't how beta works but writers have been thanking or asking for betas, so why not give myself a try and find someone to do my beta.
And without any further ado, let's get on with the fic ne?
The year was X780, eight-year old Cecilia Kirschtein ran towards behind the bakery, her long ebony locks in a mess, tresses of hair stuck to her skin. It irritates her but she did not dare to move. Her breathing ragged, eyes showing fear. Yes, she's scared but what can she do? An eight year old couldn't possibly defeat a group of treasure hunters! That's just suicide!
At the same time she just apologized to whatever entity that could help her get out of this alive. Perhaps stealing a book from those people was a bad idea after all. But she couldn't help it, ever since her uncle and aunty were murdered a month ago by some bandit, she's been out by herself. Stealing food and water was what she could do. Oh how she wished her mother was still alive. She still remembers the woman that gave birth to her and took care of her but she passed away from an unknown illness leaving her with said relatives.
Her father on the other hand, her mother said that he was a bad person and that was what she told her daughter and the only thing that she adopted from her father was his hair and his left eye which of this case was blue.
You see, Cecilia is what you would call a heterochromia. A person with two different eye colour. For her, the left eye was blue and her other was yellow, a colour she got from her mother and there was one extra characteristic which her mother once told that her father didn't have was her good heart. Yes, her mother explained to her that even though she may have most of her looks from her father, she was after all a good person at heart.
"Give us back the merchandise kid!"
This allowed Cecilia to snap out form her thoughts as she slowly heard footsteps and sounds of said hunters screaming out for her, the girl hastily looked around for anywhere to hide and she found a barrel and deducing that this was her only option; she ran towards the object and scurried behind it. Resting her back against the wall, she covered her mouth with her own hands in hopes that her loud breathing won't go noticed. The young girl then took a good look at the book that was beside her.
It was a plain looking book that looks really old and was in tatters. She looked at the title and gasped.
GOD SLAYER MAGIC
She brought her hands to the book and opened it to the first page. Mumbling the first chapter's topic, "God slayer magic…" She scanned through the first chapter before skipping several pages to go to the second one after realizing that it was all about an introduction to God slayer magic.
But the sound of the hunters drew closer than ever as they once again called for her, "Come out little girl! Zucker-sama wouldn't want his merchandise damaged!" His voice was sick and twisted and full of lies! The young girl started to hyperventilate and she shifted herself closer to the wall her knees were at her chest as she brought the book into her hands and wrapped her arms around them and hugged it tighter than before. Unfortunately by doing that, her elbow came in contact with the barrel and low bass noise erupted softly from within it.
Cecilia's eyes widened at lightning speed when she realized what she had done. Frozen, she closed her eyes and started to murmur quickly, "Pleasedon'tcomePleasedon'tcomePleasedon'tcome –EEK!" She was grabbed by her hair and thrown to the dirty ground. Soil and dirt got into her eyes as she screamed and tried to get her sight back before she was once again lifted up by her hair and in the air before a voice shouted right beside her ear.
"You thought you could run away from us huh!? You stupid girl!" She was thrown across and her back came into contact with the brick wall. Cecilia let out a pained gasp and slumped to the ground, her tired eyes were locked on the book that was behind the ring leader as he strolled towards her and motioned two other of his goons to tend to the object. Her eyes narrowed at the book.
He glared at the kid that's currently eyeing the book and smirked, noticing she was too focused on the said book. Bringing his feet up he slammed down on her hand, allowing the girl to holler in pain. His smirk grew and proceeded to add more weight into his right leg, feeling the bones were definitely cracked. Satisfied went to his knees and placed his hand on her head pushing it to the ground earning him a small groan. He brought his face to her ears and whispered, "Be a good girl and stay down okay?"
No response.
He gave a sickening smile as he ruffled her hair, treating the girl as though she wasn't even hurt by him and brought his lips to her cheek and kissed it. "If you don't I'll just sell you off to slavers, maybe you're worth to cover my lunch money!" He cackled madly before leaving her on the spot and going off with his friends to see the book.
Cecilia stared lifelessly at the man, her body was aching and she damn well know that her right hand is broken probably shattered. She once again brought her tired eyes to the book that contains content about God slayer magic. She closed her eyes, giving up on everything. What's more to live, her mother is no longer here and so are her uncle and aunty. What's there to live for? She might as well just stay on this very ground and rot.
"Hey! Looks like this book is about some lost magic!"
"Seriously?! Come on give it me, I want to see it!"
"Relax boys, looks like this books is worth more than what we original thought." He chuckled, "Let's sell the book to some dark guild. We'll get millions!" With that, three hunters laughed without a care in the world.
Hearing their plan Cecilia opened her eyes and narrowed at the sight, 'This book… it can give me power. I need it! I failed Uncle George and Aunty Allie! I cannot lose!'
The girl calmed herself down and shakily got to her feet, ignoring the popping noise she got as she stood up and glared at the group, "I want power!"
At that point, nothing mattered to her. Selfish people like them are the reasons why families lost their precious heirlooms, children and parents alike lost each other just because they were in the way of these treasure hunters.
A yellow magic circle appeared on each of the hunters back and they shrieked when they realized they had a magic circle on them. "Who's casting it?!" They suddenly howled and grabbed their ears.
"W-What's this! Make it stop!" They were on the floor howling like the animals they were, begging whoever casting the magic to stop and the ring leader cracked his eye open to see that the girl he toyed with was standing and a yellow aura was surrounding her, long ebony hair floating at the same time. Eyes glaring down at them.
She brought her uninjured hand to their direction and clenched it and suddenly blood burst from their eardrums as they dropped to the ground, either unconscious or dead. She doesn't know about it also but walked over to the book, ignoring the bodies and went to her knees and saw that the book was open.
Peering over, she gave a quick glance and it wrote , 'God slayer magic can enhance your current magic type and changed it to that of a god's' She smiled at that. 'Maybe… there is still a chance for me to help others.' She grabbed the book and went out of the alleyway, "Maybe I can change things, for them. For mother." She sighed before wincing at injured hand, "I should see a doctor now."
I know it is short but I hope you will love it.
P.S I just love her name.
P.S.S She resembles Banba when she's good.
