Gray was nervous. He wore several days with a bad feeling in his chest, and he knew too well that when that happened was a bad sign.
Of course, there was a reason for it. Makarov had forced him to participate in the 'guild tournament', in a team with Natsu, Lucy, Erza and Wendy. Yes, as a team. When he hated working as a team, because he did not feel at all comfortable and usually very awkward. He sighed heavily as he stirred his own hair.
Well, at least the first test to decide which teams entered had done very well. Now they were waiting to be for go to greet in a crowded place.
- "Our turn. Remember guys, smile and greeting!" - Erza commented as she left. Gray followed last stayed, there was no going back on this. He put his necklace on his shirt, hoping that no one saw.
They went there and saluted. Apparently they had reached the fourths, beating only to Blue Pegasus. Gray sighed again, this was not a good idea...
- "Gray-kun, calm down, you're very tense." - The sky dragon slayer commented. Gray then tried to relax, but without much success. Finally, they came out to greet after the Blue Pegasus Guild.
- "Look look! They are Salamander and Titania!" -
- "That girl is the magician of the magic spirits and this is the sky dragon slayer! They have a team with Titania and Salamander!" -
- "... And the other guy?" -
- "Who? Is he in the team?" -
Natsu looked at Gray, who was pale and seemed that he wanted disappear. To Natsu, that was something tender, but also tasted a little bad, he wondered why the master had decided it was Gray, when he knew how shy and little boy didn't like to go out in public. Makarov want overcome Gray's fear of working in groups, as he did in Edolas?
- "The public seems to want to know about the black-haired boy! Any idea, pumpkin king?" -
- "Of course, Kabo! He is Gray, a guy who from the shadows has been working hard! The Fiore kings always have him when they have a problem!" -
And then, the cries of euphoria began, if the kings of Fiore had trusted the guy, why not them?
- "Gray, you should be happy! People already supports you and yet you have not seen him fight!" - Lucy tried (without success) to encourage his friend, who was still trying to find a rock for hide.
-"Let's go to the next guild! They are Mermaid Heels! The most powerful girls!" - So, some girls appeared. where were even Millianna, which Erza was glad to see. Also it seemed to be a very powerful girl, who could face Erza. It would be interesting to see. - "The following is the Sabertooth Guild! At just 16 years, his twin dragons are giving a lot to talk about!" -
- "Natsu-san! Been a while!" - The blond dragon slayer greeted. Natsu smiled.
- "Hey, Sting! Finally you have joined a guild!" -
- "Yep! Apparently before it was a ugly guild, but now it has improved greatly. I'll kick your ass!" - He commented cheerfully, with a big smile.
- "By last! The guild has been first: Lamia Scale! A guild that usually operate from the shadows!" - Then a little girl came out, no older than Wendy. An average man transformed into a dog, a man with enormous eyebrows, a bald man with a beard, which everyone recognized as one of the holy magicians and, finally, a man who almost exclusively with his presence seemed to freeze the environment, something that Natsu did not like.
- "Natsu..." - Erza whispered.
- "Yes, I've noticed. That guy doesn't look like a good boy." - Natsu said in a faint voice, furrowing his brow. There was something about him that didn't like anything. So that guy went to them with a smile.
- "It's been a while... Gray." - He was greeted with a mocking smile. Then they all immediately turned to ice mage smaller surprise.
- "Ly-Lyon..."- whispered. Natsu was really surprised.
- "You know this guy, Gray?" - Natsu asked with a grim look on him.
- "Of course we know, isn't it, Gray?" - Lyon said with a smile. Gray nodded.
- "He is my brother..."- The ice mage whispered something nervous and just after hastily explained. - "He isn't my blood brother... but his mother... Ur, adopted me when I was just a baby ... So that makes him be my brother..."-
- "Je... I was wondering where you went after ends mum's life and now I find you after 8 years participating in this... Do you intend to also kill your guild?" - Natsu groaned loudly, like a wild animal, to hear those cruel words to his friend. Gray stared at the floor, his face could define a word: The guilt.
It was true. All that Lyon had said was true.
He killed all his village.
He killed his parents (which is not even got to know).
He killed those guys who tried to kill him.
And the most important...
He killed his adoptive mother.
He had been so lost in his own thoughts, he won't even notice when the pumpkin king announced to all participants go into the stands. He started up hastily as he realized this, when Lyon placed a hand on his shoulder, approaching his ear.
- "I hope you get lucky as usual and don't have a fight with me, Gray. Because if we get together... not expect to be treated like family... Small slag." -
But Gray knew he had never been lucky since birth. So, the day before the final, a fight was announced: Gray would have fight versus Lyon.
The fourth day of the tournament was the day that marked a before and after in the cursed child's life.
