SevenKings here with a hiatus warning on this fic soon after the next chapter. I need it to actually get this story out of the prologue arc and into cannon until then enjoy this short chapter.
Chapter 4: Remembrance
Kagutsuchi was burned to the ground. I searched around the town slowly due to not wanting to leave anyone that might still be alive in the town. Another reason is that I didn't wanted to find my parent's corpses, and/or my sister's.
What if's burns into my head. What if I didn't eat the fruit, What if I was here? What if it wasn't the Cult of Zeref's that did this? I banished the thought from my mind. It wouldn't do me any good to question right now. I should search and later find place to sleep before worrying about that.
I finally reached my home after long. My home was gone, inside it was two corpses that belong to my mother and father. I kneeled there in frozen horror that this had happen. My happy life was over, Erza could be anywhere in the world by now. And I don't know where the Tower of Heaven even is.
Later during the day, I had bury them together. They should be together in death as they did in life. As I looked at the makeshift graves I made from them, I looked at the locket that made it's home on my chest.
Flashback begin
One night, I was studying and the door opened. Erza barrelled into me and caused both of us to tumble to the ground.
Erza was on my chest as she pointed her index finger into my face. "Raggy, stop studying and take me to the Festival tonight. If it was any other woman, I might have made a dirty comment on how the woman seemed to love being on top. I had read somewhere that Erza into dirty novels and that it was cannon.
Luckily, the tension in the room vanish when chuckling was heard. Both Erza and I turn our heads to see our parents were at the door. "Erza, you won't mind if we join along right?" chuckled Jin.
Erza just put one of her hands behind her head rubbed it before. "Of course, Daddy, if our family's together then everything is okay." Erza said in a meek tone.
That night was one of the best nights of my both of my lives. The life and joy when we participated would forever be ingrained in my memories.
Later that night, we came across on a merchant stand with four lockets. Erza wanted one the moment she saw it. "Daddy, I want one." Erza pouted. The merchant later came over, "Your daughter is a very smart woman young man."the merchant praised, "Within the locket is a magic that as long as the people are wearing it would meet again."
Flashback end
'So long as one wears a locket huh?' I thought.
I turn around and began to take my steps into the world. I should be scared, but I'm not, rather I walked with a purpose to fulfill. Find my sister,kill the ones who did this, using any means necessary to fullfilled my vengance. Great, I'm channelling my abridged Attack on Titan Eren.
Well, another short chapter, but again a necessary plot device to bring the story out of the prologue arc. Yes, This is a prologue arc, you'll know when we reached out of it when I decide to write in third person. Unless people want to continue in first person.
Good Bye Good Night Good Luck
