Hello, and I'm back with another chapter of My Sister is.
Happy late Halloween! Did you have a good time? I know that I did!
I don't own Fairy Tail or Seven Deadly Sins.
I hope you enjoy!
Azure sat in the corner, drinking her beer.
After the Dark and the Light had disbanded, Azure had joined a lesser-known mage guild called Dragon Scale-it wasn't a nice guild on any terms. All anyone cared about was when their next job would be-the guild master had to assign jobs to teams, which Azure hated. Nobody really liked her here-but it was the only guild that would take her, seeing that she went nowhere without Stars, a wolf from the Celestial World that looked after Azure, but it wasn't easy. Because of the abuse from even before she had broken Leo's key, Azure had a hard time eating and sleeping, and due to two thousand nine hundred years of not having to do either, Azure looked like a walking nightmare. She had huge bags under her eyes, she was so thin her ribcage was visible, and since she hadn't known when to stop a fight due to quick healing, she was often covered in scars and even open wounds from protecting some bullied kids through the town-although that healed quickly.
Overall, this place was a hell-hole. There were people dropping like flies on the streets, others barely making enough for themselves, let alone their families-and due to being so poor, they couldn't just move away. Only the mages in Dragon Scale could do that, but tons of them were rude a**holes, which was why they couldn't go to any other guild-although Azure tried to be kind to everyone. She just had a hard time trusting others, and she looked like she'd crawled out of the depths of hell to punish some poor sucker-at least, according to her guildmates.
Azure sighed, setting her beer mug down.
"Someday," she muttered. "When I don't look like I'm gonna kill someone, I'm leaving this dump and hopefully finding Claire again."
See, back before there had been a Dark and a Light, Azure and Claire had brought all of the Celestialites together as one, and they all lived together. It wasn't until there had been too many that they separated…
*flashback*
Azure watched as Claire stood in front of all of them-there were a total of thirteen of them as of ten years ago.
"Attention!" Claire yelled. Everyone looked at her. "Look, guys, we need to talk about everything.
"Huh?" the newest member-King of the Light-asked, clearly confused, turning to Queen of the Dark. "What's she talking about?"
Queen shrugged.
"Guys, there are thirteen of us now," Claire said. "Which means that things are going to get...difficult in ninety years."
"What's that supposed to mean?" Drake of Rising Mountains asked.
"I mean that all of this is going to start repeating," Claire said, taking a deep breath. "Next, we'll have another Ophiuchus, then another Leo. Then another Aries. And so on. I don't know about you guys, but I think we need to do something about all this."
"What do you mean?" Azure asked, surprised. "We can't change the order of all this."
Claire took a deep breath. "Some of us can't go in the Light, others can't go in the Dark. Guys, things are only going to get more difficult from here."
"What are you saying?" Mysteria and Gale of Precious Time asked at the same time.
"Guys...we can't stay like this for any longer," Claire said. "We have to divide."
"WHAT?!" everyone yelled.
"Have you gone mad?!" Jaqueline of the Heat yelled.
"Listen to me!" Claire said loudly. Everyone calmed down. "Guys, we can't do this anymore! Someday, you all know that we're going to fight each other, and that's how we can break this curse, but not until there's someone that can actually die. Someone without the Gifts. If we stay like this, it'll only make it harder. Look around. Can you even fight anyone standing next to you? Each of us is supposed to fight someone that we've become friends with! We're only making this harder, and if things stay this way, we won't even raise a finger against each other, then we'll stay this way forever! Think about our next friends! Can we really keep doing this? We can't!"
Everyone exchanged glances, then looked at Claire.
"B-But we're all friends," Azure said.
"I didn't say that we aren't," Claire said. "The bonds we've already made are unbreakable. And when all of this is over, they will still be. But if they grow any more before the fight, we won't be able to fight. Guys, we have to do this."
They all exchanged looks, then nodded.
"Good," Claire said. "Tomorrow morning, the ones that can go in the Light will leave, and we'll find a new place to call home."
Azure walked over and stood next to Claire.
"Those two can't go in the Light, we'll find a new place tomorrow night-we'll head in the opposite direction," Azure said. "That way, no bad memories will come from being here, and someday, we'll be together-a family again!"
Everyone cheered.
*end flashback*
Azure sighed. "I know that Claire had to go to her homeland for whatever reason, and when she comes home, we'll probably join a guild together, but still. I wish she was here."
"Who, you little freak?"
With a sigh, Azure looked up to see the guild master, a man easily in his forties named Draven.
"Just an old friend," Azure said, taking another drink of her beer as Draven laughed.
"You, having a friend?" Draven scoffed. "Nobody would miss you if you were gone! I mean, look at you!"
"Gee, thanks," Azure muttered. "Now I really can't wait for Claire to come back."
"I'd forget 'bout this kid-probably has already forgotten 'bout you!" Draven snapped, then slapped a piece of paper on the table. "You're going with Liam and Eriana on a job in thirty minutes, so sober up and get ready. It'll take a few days."
Azure sighed, setting her beer down. "Fine. Whatever." With that, she walked away to get ready for the mission.
After the mission…
Azure groaned as she sat down on her bed, taking a few deep breaths. She had gotten really hurt on that mission, but her wounds had already healed up-almost all of them were gone.
Star sat down at the edge of Azure's bed.
"Azure, are you alright?" Star asked, tilting her head to the side.
"I can't stand this crud anymore," Azure said.
"What do you mean?" Star asked.
"I just want Claire to come back," Azure said, tears in her eyes. "I mean, no one here cares about me. Claire was my first true friend outside of my spirits, but still. Why did she have to leave me, too?"
"You know that she'll be back," Star promised.
"But why does she have to go home?" Azure demanded, letting a few tears escape her eyes. "You know, Claire told me everything about her home-including about her sister. I don't see why she wants to go home. Her sister was a real jerk."
"I don't know much about her sister," Star said.
"Claire couldn't say her name-apparently, she couldn't pronounce it," Azure said. "Well, Claire's sister was a jerk to Claire, always talking down on her. Claire got a few problems out of it-and a semi-immunity to pain, which has since turned to a full-out immunity, although I think that she can feel pain again." Azure sighed. "I just...why does Claire want to know? I mean, she knows what happened to her mother, and her father, but her sister was a big jerk to her. I wouldn't care about her if I was Claire."
"You're just saying that because you want Claire to come back," Star said.
"I'd say it no matter what!" Azure cried, falling back onto the bed and crying full-out. "Claire is my best friend! Sure, we had to fight each other, but we're still best friends! I just want her to come back!"
"Azure...she'll be back," Star said. "She promised, remember?"
"I know, but it's not fair," Azure said, wiping away her tears. "Why didn't she take me with her?!"
Star sighed, just listening to Azure cry out.
Night, I hope that you can hear me, Star mentally projected through the Celestial World. Azure needs Claire to come back.
Meanwhile…
I hear you loud and clear, Night thought back sadly, looking at Claire, who was sleeping. I'll talk to her about it. But not until tomorrow.
Thanks, Star thought back, then broke the connection.
Night sighed, looking at Claire. "Claire...tomorrow. We can talk about it tomorrow. With that, Night looked up at the moon, and she began to howl.
Sorry for the shorter chapter, and the longer update period, but I got a little busy with something else that I'm writing.
I'm thinking about starting three more fanfictions-a Fairy Tail AU, a Companions Quartet by Julie Golding one, and maybe-just maybe-another Miraculous Ladybug one. But we'll see.
I should be updating before long. The stuff I'm busy with is kinda dying down, so that should be fun.
Please leave a review! Until next time!
Lunetheart out.
