Mortis finally found the apartment number. She folded up the paper with her parent's address on and placed it in her pocket. The door was a dark red with gold numbers at the top. She couldn't believe she had finally found them. It had only been two days since Igneel disappeared and Mortis had a hunch on where to go to start research. She searched in the Mongolia library and she surprised how easy it was to find her parents birth certificates and eventually hers and Natsu's.
She knocked on the door and waited nervously. A Man with sharp dark hair opened the door. "Hello?" he smiled. Mortis couldn't help but to stare at him. She could see herself from this man. "Um, can I help you?" he asked.
Mortis snapped out of her stare and asked "sorry, is this the apartment of Jerry and Susan Glammer?" The man nodded and said "yes I'm Jerry. How can I help?" "May I come in?" she asked. Jerry smiled and allowed her in. Inside was a small apartment with one bedroom and bathroom. She walked into the living room and kitchen. She looked on the walls to see pictures of the couple together. She was trying to see if they had any baby photos of her and Natsu, but she couldn't find any.
Susan was sat on the sofa with a book. She looked up as Mortis walked in. She had bright pink hair, that reached her stomach. Mortis started to see herself in her a lot. She smiled and said "hello." "Hi" Mortis smiled nervously. "Please sit down, can I get you a drink?" Jerry asked. "No thank you I'm fine. I was wondering if we could talk?" she asked. Jerry and Susan sat down opposite Mortis. "Are you two wizards?" she asked. "Yes we are. I control wind while Susan has the magic ability over steel" Jerry explained. "Are you a wizard?" he asked. "I hope to be. I'm actually on my way to Fairytail to join. I have the magic ability over fire and ice" Mortis explained. "That's good" Susan smiled. "Are you two part of guild?" she asked. "No we are actually hired by the Magic counsil to work on specialist missions" Susan explained.
Mortis was surprised. "So I guess that means you two are powerful in your abilities?" she asked. Jerry smiled and looked at his wife as he said "we try and keep our abilities under control, but we can sometimes loose the plot." Susan laughed as she said "sometimes?" Mortis looked around their small apartment and asked "well with a job like that couldn't you get somewhere bigger?" "We may have a big job, but we don't get paid very much… wait, why are we telling you all this?" Jerry laughed.
Mortis believed that time would be as good as any. "Do you have any children?" she asked. Both their smiles faded as Susan explained "we have had two. Unfortunately, we had to give them both away." "Why?" Mortis asked. Jerry was the first to know who she really was. "you're not…" he couldn't bring himself to say it. Susan then slapped her hand over her mouth as she saw it too. "You need to leave" she gasped.
Mortis was now on the edge of tears as she said "I just want to talk." Susan was now on her feet demanding for her to leave. Jerry was sat on the sofa with his hands on his mouth. "Leave now or I will use my magic on you!" she screamed. Mortis stood up with her hands in the air as she slowly made her way to the door. "I'm sorry ok. I'm leaving" she cried. Susan looked devastate as she shouted "don't come back here again ever!"
Mortis had the door slammed in her face. She fell to the floor and cried her heart out. She was hoping for at least a relationship with her parents, but they don't want to know. And what was worse, is that before they knew who she was they were nice people. They were happy together and they both are strong wizards. She understands her strong hold of wizard power.
For an hour she was sat by their door listening to their conversation. She couldn't understand everything, but she got the impression that Susan wanted to know her and her son she also gave up. Mortis sniffed and she got up and left the building. She walked down the river, towards Fairytail. She knew they would be closed now, but she didn't have anywhere else to go. She sat on a bench and watched the ducks in the river. Over the long dark hours her eyes grew heavier. She was too depressed to sleep, she kept repeating everything that happened in her head. "Hi kiddo." Mortis turned around to find Jerry walking towards her. She was shocked as she thought she would never see them again. "Hi. Dad" she said. "It felt weird calling someone dad after all this time of not having a dad. Jerry sat next to her and said "I'm sorry about earlier. I want to explain everything to you." Mortis looked at him and listened to everything he said.
"Susan and I went on a job over twenty years ago. We both were still young. Not even eighteen and we ran into this cult. This was no ordinary cult. This cult had extraordinary power. More power than Zerif. While we were taking them down, a small group we missed placed a curse on us. That curse was that every child we have won't be able to control their magic abilities and will end up destroying life."
Mortis stared at him. Jerry laughed and explained "we believed it to be nonsense, but after deep research they blessed Zerif with extraordinary power and look at all the darkness he brought. A year later Susan fell pregnant with our first child and we didn't even hesitate to still believe the curse was true. But her pregnancy was rough. The doctors had her in daily, because the baby's magic power was so strong, they were worried it was ripping her womb. We both made the decision to give the baby up."
"That must have been Natsu" she said. "Who?" he asked. "Natsu Dragneel. I found his birth certificate, but I was trained in the same way he was. By a dragon he told me his name. I know the name on the birth certificate was different, but that's what he calls himself. He is the salamander in Fairytail" Mortis explained.
Jerry look stunned. "I've seen my son" he gasped. He had seen the salamander out an about with the blue cat. He then smirked a little as he had seen the way acts when he was with his friends, the blonde, ice boy and the red head. It reminded him of himself when he was Natsu's age. "Listen I love the bones of you and Natsu, but Susan going through two pregnancies and giving her children up, it tore her apart. She can't handle having both her children back in her life" he explained. "What about you?" she asked. "I would love to have you both back" he cried. Mortis hugged him tightly. Jerry hugged his daughter the way he had wanted too for many years.
Mortis felt like a normal kid, hugging her dad. Mortis leaned back and asked "when can I see you again." "Give me a few weeks. I will see you again" he promised. "Dad I will bring Natsu next time. I'm sure I will meet him in Fairytail" Mortis suggested. Jerry nodded and said "please." He gave Mortis and envelope and said "Give Natsu his when you meet him." Mortis looked inside to see two pictures of the Jerry and Susan holding two different babies. Jerry got up to go and Mortis quickly said "Dad. My name is Mortis."
