Hey guys I'm back! I think we'll do a little backstory this chapter. Reviews are appreciated. If you have any questions PM me! and without further ado here's the next chapter.
HEMLOCK POV
The whole way to the Strauss family home Lisanna and I argued about whether or not going shopping with Wendy was a date or not.
"Is so!"
"Is not!"
"Is so!"
"Is not!"
"Can you two be quiet, we're here." Mirajane scolded while unlocking the door of their house.
We walked into the home and I was quite surprised how large it really was, but with three siblings living in the same house it needs to be that big. We entered into a living room with a few couches and chairs then the siblings led me through the house. Most of it was very standard until we got to the hallway with the rooms.
"Ok this first room is mine." said Lisanna. She opened the door revealing a multitude of posters of cats, plush cats, and even cat bedsheets.I looked at Mirajane and Elfman in confusion, but they just shrugged and we moved on. Elfman's room was next and it was just as expected multiple weight sets and six packs of muscle cola that he seemed to take great pride in, unsurprising. Next was Mirajane's room. It had a bookshelf with solely sorcery weekly magazines she also had some modeling posters of herself and a guitar and microphone.
"You play guitar?" I asked her to which she nodded her head. "Hmm. Do you think I could borrow it sometime?"
"You can play?"
"It's been a while, but yeah."
"You can borrow it whenever" Mira told me smiling
Mirajane then moved to the next door in the hall and opened it to reveal a room with only a bed and dresser.
"This will be your room." She told me "Feel free to change it as much as you want."
"Wow, thank you so much!" I told the older woman
I walked into the room and sat down on the bed. It had been so long since I had an actual bed to sleep on and a roof over my head. I was truly happy until Lisanna asked me a question.
"Hemlock, who's Myra?" She questioned
"How do you know that name!" I snapped at her
"You were mumbling it in your sleep." She flinched
I sighed. I knew the day would come when I had to tell the guild about my past, but I didn't think it would come so soon. I walked out into the living room and sat down in a chair. The siblings sat on the couches in the room.
"Let me start off by saying I used to be in a dark guild." I said looking at the floor so I didn't have to look them in the eyes. "But I left that life a long time ago"
"Back then I didn't have my god slaying magic. It was only basic poison magic. I was one of the minor grunts of the guild. My magic skill was pitiful and those were some of the worst years of my life. I'm surprised I survived. Our guild master was ruthless and cruel. He made examples of the weak to make the guild obey him. We were his soldiers. It was absolutely awful."
FLASHBACK
There was a dark and gloomy room filled with about 50 men and women throwing food, drinks, and tables and laughing. The guild acted very much like Fairy Tail, but they weren't a family. They were all devious cutthroats and bandits who only cared about saving themselves from the master and money. A large man walked into the chaos
"Hemlock, come here!" A gruff voice silenced the guild
"Yes Master Zankokuna." a younger Hemlock flinched
The large man walked towards and hovered over the 12 year old boy. The young Hemlock stared up at the hulking man with complete fear in his eyes. The man then punched the boy in the stomach and held him up by his hair.
"If you filth don't quiet down it'll be you next" The man said throwing the young boy on the ground and walking back into his office.
The guild members all sat down at the tables or stood around. Hemlock still laid on the floor silently weeping and clutching his stomach. A man of about 17 years of age walked over to the boy and carried him to a table. The man set down Hemlock and gave a serious look to the woman sitting across from him, she then got up and sat next to Hemlock. The woman began to comfort the young boy
"Hemlock it's going to be ok. Just wait until tonight." She cooed
"Myra" The older man called to her "Stay safe tonight. Ok?"
"Ok Argon." She answered calmly
They embraced and their lips met briefly before Myra lifted Hemlock and carried him to the living quarters. She laid the now sleeping boy onto a bed then sat down and began to prepare herself for the night ahead of them. After that she laid down herself and drifted to sleep.
END FLASHBACK
"Ok I have a few questions." Interrupted Lisanna
I looked up and rubbed my eyes which were starting to water. I normally just bottled up my emotions.
"Yeah Lisanna?" I asked her
"So can you explain Myra and Argon because I'm confused."
"Myra was my older sister, our parents had both passed away so we were orphans, we joined the guild because of Argon. He never had bad intent when he asked us to go with him to his guild, him and my sister were very close. They were basically the parents I didn't have. They had been planning to leave the guild for months and we were going to just start over, but of course it didn't quite go as planned."
"What happened?" asked Mirajane
FLASHBACK
Argon walked up to the bed that Myra and Hemlock were sleeping on and woke them up. After they were up and ready to leave he explained the plan to them again.
"Ok I have a few guys that are going to start a distraction, after we hear that we are going to slip out the back and run as fast as we can."
Right as he finished his sentence an explosion could be heard.
"Right, time to go." He said starting to run away from the blast.
They ran through the chaos of the guild hall and slipped out the back entrance only to find Zankokuna and some of his goons waiting, swords at the ready.
"Well well, I should've expected this from you, Argon" Zankokuna said with a smirk on his face. He lowered his sword and prepared to attack the trio. Argon met his stare and began to form black gas in his hands
"Myra when I attack take Hemlock and go." He said calmly
"But-"
"JUST DO IT. POISON GOD'S CYANIDE" He launched the poisonous gas at the goons hitting most of them. Myra picked up her younger brother and ran as fast as she could, the goons were too held up with the god slayer to chase after them. Hemlock reached out to the older man as they got farther away. The young boy watched in horror as the god slayer was slashed and stabbed to death. He slipped out of his sister's grasp and ran to the older man only to be kicked down by Zankokuna
"You know I've always wanted to get rid of that troublesome Argon, he was always a pest." He said chuckling over the dead man
"Don't say that." Said the young Hemlock looking at the ground and clenching his fists
"What? Did I strike a nerve, boy." He cackled at the young boy
"Acid Spray!" Hemlock shot a blast at Zankokuna, but only a drop of acid hit him. He held his cheek and slightly flinched.
"Damn you! Now I'm gonna kill you just like your little friend over there" Hemlock closed his eyes and braced for the attack, but it never came. He opened his eyes to see his sister looking at him with a smile.
"It'll be ok Hemlock. Just run." She said smiling as she collapsed onto the young boy. His eyes changed from their normal red to a bright orange and his face contorted into one of pure anger. He stood up and looked straight into Zankokuna's eyes.
"Poison God Sacred Art Fields Of Nightshade."
The large liquid flowers rose out of the ground and slowly constricted Zankokuna and all of his goons. Hemlock didn't wait to see the result of his attack and ran away from his former home.
END FLASHBACK
"And I just traveled and trained after that." I looked up at the three Strauss siblings to see the two sisters crying and Elfman looking at the ground. I turned and wiped my eyes and started to walk away.
"I think I need a shower" I told the siblings. I walked into the bathroom, got into the shower, and began to bawl.
A/N Sorry for the long wait guys a combination of robotics, drama stuff, and writer's block didn't help. I apologize deeply
