Fairy Tail Guild, the next morning
The rain of the last night has stopped and left for a bright sunny day without any clouds in the sky. Indeed , it was hotter than the previous day but people seemed to enjoy this heat somehow. Birds were chirping energetically and the atmosphere was far from being gloomy.
However, not everybody had the chance to enjoy this rare day. And one of them was Precht.
Precht was waiting in his office for the Head Healer to discuss the procedure on how to extract the baby from the dead body of Mavis although nobody would believe it until now that there a life inside a dead body. He thought of asking for explanation though. This was a strange case for the Master.
Grabbing again the papers he studied during the night, he read them all over twice in search for any information that concerned the life inside a dead body. It seems that he had been part of a medical team in his previous lives for this show of curiosity. He frowned, not finding the information he was searching for. The baby was at its sixth month already and he has acknowledged that a normal pregnancy takes 9 months. One of the points he planned to discuss was the remarkable level of magic that the unborn baby has. This thing could surpass him at the age of 5 only and then become a great magician as the time would pass .
He wasn't sure about how he'll manage to raise this kid but from what he knows, he is already giving up his responsibilities towards the toddler. He isn't capable of raising a kid, especially if the kid itself seems tougher before he presents himself so.
Just let me remember why I have taken such a decision? That's only bringing me more responsibilities!
He massaged his temple with the his left thumb , only to manage the stress that was accumulating from the paperwork. He sighed, knowing that the Head Healer was 5 minutes late when finally, someone knocked on the door.
"Enter" made the stern voice of the Master .
"Just excuse me Master for being late, I had to take care of a bruised Guild mate.
-It is okay, shall the reunion begin!"
The healer made sure that the door was firmly closed so that nobody can eavesdrop them during their reunion.
"Alright, from what I've read from the reports, Mavis is pregnant of a boy already and this baby is undoubtedly Zeref's, is there any mistake up until now?
-No, continue. The body itself is intact so any extraction doesn't seem harmful
-Explain on how you will proceed.
-First, we would need your help to safely secure the body once it's out of the coffin. Any scar to Fairy Heart would be disastrous. Second, once the body secured we can proceed to the extraction of the baby. But this procedure will leave with a scar on the abdomen. We will try our best to make it flawless. But..
-But?
-There's one problem; this kid is showing a remarkable level of magic . It can interfere unconsciously with the procedure and damage the body.
-And what is my role in this?
- Master, you'll only have to regulate the magic around the baby so that its magic doesn't interfere with the procedure.
-Alright, then. At the starting of the ninth month, the team has to prepare itself. Up until then, make this discussion as a private case please. Nobody at the Guild has to be aware of what is going on and no one here is aware of this.
-Fine , sir!"
Both men sealed their agreement by shaking hands firmly and making eye contact with each other. Precht was now relieved of this worry. It's like a weight that has been lifted from his shoulders.
Now, he had to worry about where could be the future home of the kid. Not like no one is fitted enough for fostering a child, but, this child is magically an exception so he has to be careful while choosing a foster home. Frankly, he has run through tougher times than this and he even risked his life and now that he's helpless in this situation ? How pathetic.
He would have taken a decision in a few months but he has a strange feeling about his decision.
Broken marbles flooded the ground, and screams were heard.
"Papa , stop this you're going to be killed! I'm doing that with you.
-Cana no! I AM going to protect you no matter what!
-DAD!"
From above, an old men surrounded by a dark aura observed the scene was filled with envy. What in his mere existence had gone wrong? His birth? He couldn't blame Precht for letting him alive.
Precht woke up from what looks like a nightmare. He just dreamt that an old men wasn't blaming him for letting him alive but who could it be.
