Chapter 6: a change of heart
Artorias decided to stay at fairy tail for another wile and before he knew it a few months had passed. life was great at fairy tail and he was falling in love with mira, they were meeting in secret but he never told her how he felt. as he walked to the graves of his old guild mates he thought to himself, maybe is should tell her when I get back.
Artorias stood at the graves of his friends from a past life. He noticed Poseidon's grave beside the others and remembered the last time they saw each other. He was sad that he didn't make peace with his old friend but what was done, was done and couldn't be changed.
A man covered by his dark robes approached artorias not revealing his face behind his hood. Artorias turned to face the man as they both stood there an odd breeze was blowing and things just didn't seem right. So you have returned the shadowy man said to artorias. Who are you? This is a sacred place to me so I advise you to leave. Artorias how could you forget me so easily the man said taking his hood down revealing his face. YOU! How are you still alive I saw you lay before me dead, I killed you!
I am not alive yet I am not fully dead either. Do you know why I did the things I did he asked his face looking sad. This could not be the man I almost died fighting it can't be his evil aura is gone. Artorias your whole life has been a lie. I was ordered to make you watch as I killed your parents and took your brother all to make you stronger. I wish I could take it back I am truly sorry.
He was showing genuine guilt what happened this man he was pure evil artorias thought. I was ordered to make you suffer great loss so you would use your anger towards me to become more powerful. It wasn't zeref who killed your guild mates artorias. It was that man the one who found you he possessed my body to do those terrible things to you. Stop lieing you bastard! Why did you come here to tell me your petty lies? it all was just a lie, the way your reacting is fully understandable but please artorias listen to me before it's too late.
Zeref is not the one who will bring the apocalypse, it is you artorias you are the reincarnation of the ancient weapon Zeus your light will wipe out this world and unlock the world of great magic. You must believe me artorias that man was making sure you were strong enough to do it he only pretended to care he told you to find your friends only to make you suffer the pain of loosening them making you cold and feel only hate for this world . I really am sorry to tell you this but they were all under his orders he promised them immortality if they obeyed him artorias it was all a lie you must believe me before it's too late. Bravo, bravo so you came out of your shadow to tell him be gone you pest and with that a blast of dark magic hit the hooded man leaving nothing but ash behind.
So artorias know you know hahaha but it's too late my plan is already started and you will destroy this world wether you choose to or not. So what he said it's all true said artorias his eyes shadowed looking at the ground his anger was building. You were the one who killed my parents and made my brother evil, now artorias was glowing his anger becoming overwhelming. You made the people I thought were my friends pretend to be my friends and then killed them breaking your promise to them. And you pretended to be my friend and you were only training me so I could be a weapon for you to destroy this world.
Artorias's anger was controlling him now everyone he loved and trusted had betrayed him he couldn't trust anyone anymore. I will destroy this world but not for you, I will do it for what it has done to me all I have gotten from living in this world was hurt if I create the world of great magic you will not enter. THERE IS ROOM FOR ONE MORE GRAVE HERE!
And having said that artorias blasted a giant beam of light at the man he once thought of like a father and he continued to fire at the spot where the man was standing. Seeing the large explosions from the city natsu and mira went to investigate. When they saw artorias overwhelmed with anger and nothing like the man they thought he was destroy everything around him they couldn't believe it.
Hahaha artorias if you want to fight me then you must let your hate grow until I see only hate in your eyes I will never embrace you right now you are not worth my time. The voice of the man echoed in the wind he was gone. My whole life was a lie agggghh artorias roared as his anger continued to grow he looked like a monster his eyes gone white. His aura had changed to a much darker one he was no longer the man he was known as 400 years ago. All was left in his soul was anger and hate, hate for this world and everyone in it.
Artorias stop this you have to calm down shouted mira. He looked at her his eyes empty showing nothing but anger. She flinched when she saw them these weren't the eyes she couldn't stop staring into the night they spent on fairy tails roof, she wasn't even sure if it was the same person. So you only pretended to love me Athena he shouted sending a large blast of light at mira.
She was frozen with fear and hurt how can this be the same man I was with last night it couldn't. Why artorias why are you doing this. She shouted as her tears began to fall and the blast was about to hit. ARTORIAS! Natsu shouted blocking the blast from killing mira. He had become very powerful after his 3 year training with artorias and wasn't much weaker than him. All this world has to offer is lies and hurt you would have realised this too if you lived long enough natsu. Now both of you get away from me or I will kill you. Artorias's face was dark his light faded away and his hood covered his eyes. He turned to the graves of those who he had thought was his friends and destroyed them with a blast of light creating a huge crater.
What the fuck are you doing artorias those were your friends. He looked at nastu who could now see his eyes. I have no friends only enemy's. natsu could see the pain in artorias's eyes and did not know what it was artorias was hurting over or what had made his so angry.
I AM YOUR FRIEND! Natsu and mira both shouted. Hmmph I do not want anyone to be my friend all people do is betray each other this world is cursed and soon I will set you all free. The time for this worlds end is fast approaching count yourselves lucky you did not die here today you will live to see the purification of this world. His phoenix wings spread and he flew off into the sky. As he took off the cross around his neck had fallen off and landed next to mira she puck it up crying and said lowly almost a whisper I'm pregnant with his child natsu how can I bring it into this world knowing its father has become a monster.
