« I've spent a special moment with a certain girl » #Zeref
The darkness has taken over the peaceful blue sky of Magnolia for a raining night. The streets were empty,lightened by the light bulbs along them, the houses light were turned off although some stayed turned on. One of these was the Master room of the Guild of Fairy Tail. No matter how much a fate can change during one single night,no one wondered that a fate can change the face of the World.
Fairy Tail Guild
A neat blond old man was sitting behind a desk and was holding some papers. One of his eye was covered. He wore black clothes as it seemed to be his style. His desk was filled with books and in front of him was placed a freshly brewed tea. The decoration was simple regarding the person's position. Simple and cozy.
He seemed to hesitate about something. His features were wrikling as he frowned while reading the papers. He let a sigh part from his lips from time to time and sipped his tea while reading. Wrinkles arbored his forehead as he continued to read,showing moments of probable misunderstandings or unclarity of the reports.
Suddenly, Precht let his sight go out of the papers , a sign that he has finished reading even thiugh his attention was captured by the first page that was actually an annoted picture of a women's womb. His features expressed surprise and shock.
« There's a life growing inside of Mavis. Who could be the father ? Zeref ? Fine, Mavis doesn't seem to be but she's an adult, wasn't she ? But should I keep this thing alive or should I kill it ? »
Kill it… Keep it… Kill it…
As if he wouldn't know that these two sentences were about to become an obsession for the next hours.
The current master replayed these sentences inside of his head, not knowing what he wanted to do about this unborn yet baby.
But he was wondering how this baby was growing while his mother was dead. Maybe it was one of Mavis exploits. According to the reports, the source of hesitation has a remakable level of magic that isn't dark as his presumed father's or light like his mother's. It was a different type of magic. A true potential for a great magician in the future. Or a threat.
Sighing, Precht was trying to figure out if keeping it alive would be beneficial for the Guild. But he hadn't experience in raising young children and no one at the Guild is pretty fit for such a great potential. Maybe he should kill it. Announcing to the Guild that Mavis has given birth is no-sense at all ! Everybody knows that she's dead now.
He thought of deposing the baby at the orphanage but it could be considered as a threat because he was still young to understand his amazing powers.
The current master stood up and looked through the window. Though, he had been sighing quite a lot during this while. The rain seemed to soften as the sky was painted dark. His thoughts wandered around if the procedure of birth would be successful because its failure meant that the body of Mavis would be discarded and Fairy Heart with her.
Mavis, if you weren't dead…
He wasn't suitable to be a father. Love was too much a complex thing to think about.
He had previous experiences with fabulous women but he didn't want to settle. After all, what's bad about being single ? The guild members were enough to constitue a family-like to him and that was sufficient.
He sighed again and returned to his desk. Precht grabbed the papers and read them all over again. He despised staying that long thinking and doing nothing productive. He grabbed a blank paper and wrote some notes on it. The destiny of this kid has to be decided as soon as possible and every second was precious.
Keeping it alive or not ?
As a simple question for others , it was in fact a torturing one for the current master as he would be held for responsible if this turned out into something uncontrollable. Effectively,such a decision isn't to be easily taken. After all , any human starts his life with no experience. He was afraid of wasting away the soul whose blood is the same as Mavis.
For such a situation, I'm pathetic.
He raised his head a little bit. He finally decided …
« I'll keep it alive »
He had to prevent the Head Healer of his decision and thus begin the procedure .
Opening the door , he remarked that the room usually busy was quiet now.
« Nobody in there ? »
« Master ! Is there something ? » a young apprentice in nursery said.
« Just tell the Head Healer that I want him for a meeting in my personal room please. It's an emergency. »
« Fine Master ».
