Chapter 10: Secrets Well Kept.
( Time skip 3 days )
It has been three days since Cynthia mysteriously collapsed. She is still unresponsive and nobody knows why. ( *cough* Natsu doesn't want to speak up *cough* ) Everyone was in the guildhall, and were worrried about their bedridden teammate. The biggest concern was that Cynthia's hair now had a few streaks in her hair that were the color of Wendy's guildmark and her eye's iris' had a reddish color to them instead of their normal emerald shade.
( Natsu's Pov )
' She's going to be ok if what i think is happening is correct. ' I thought to myself while looking down at my wifes sleeping body. ' Mira said that she has a high fever and we need to keep an eye on her to, but nobody knows whats happening but me. Maybe I should see if i could find her brother that she talked about he would probably understand more about her than anyone else. ' I was to lost in my thoughts to hear the door creak open behind me. The next thing I heard was a small voice comming from beside me.
" don't worry Natsu she'll be fine It's probably just a cold or something. " Wendy said in a caring tone while wrapping her small fragile arms around me.
" I doubt its a cold, but I do hope she'll be alright. " I said returning my attention to my wife. She looked so defenceless when she was like this and I didn't like seeing her like this. She's a strong woman and she can take anything that comes her way and keep on moving. Wendy continued to stand by me for a few more minutes then decided to speak up.
" Natsu, I need to go get something from home I'll be back in a little bit. " She said as she begun to walk towards the door.
" Ok be safe. Take Happy and Carla with you. " I tell her as she stops at the door. I had grown fond of her over the last few weeks, She was kinda like a daughter or little sister.
" Ok I will. " She replies dissappearing from my vision.
( Makarov's Pov )
I was sitting on the bar of the guild within deep thought remembering what happened when a strange man walked within the guild.
( FLASH BACK 3 years ) ( i know that I don't do these often so it may be a bit weird. )
Everything was quiet in the guild and everyone has been depressed ever since the two most motivational people within the guild went missing.
" Master how are you today? " asked Mira. My had she changed in 2 years her dressing habits and her personality included.
*sigh* " It's been rough Mira, alot of things have changed in such little time. " I said causing her facial expression to turn to a saddened one.
" Yes it has master, there have been some saddening things happen. " Mira replied while continueing to hold her head down.
" I wonder how they're doing? " I ask outloud. but soon as I got my question out the front door opens and behind it stood a man about 6ft. tall walking inside the guild. Now that he had entered the light you could make out more features of the man. He had dark-green hair accompanied by emerald eyes and Pointed ears. His attair on the other hand consisted of a black vest over a blood red shirt, jeans with a dark shade of blue on them, and normal shoes. The man continues to walk around gaining some attention within the guild of course he did stand out among everyone with the green hair and the fact that you could tell he was smelling the area.
" So what brings you to our guild? " I ask the man gaining his attention. He walks up to the bar and takes a seat infront of me and looks at me for a few seconds.
" I'm looking for a family member. " He says. this caught my eye, not many people come to a guild looking for their family members unless they live with them.
" May I ask who your looking for? " I ask him causing him to look around a bit.
" Well I'm looking for my sister, I haven't seen her in about 8 or so years. " He says. This suprised me why would he look for his sister after 8 years.
" and what is her name? " I ask trying to get as much information from the lad so that I can help him.
" We were never given last names, but her name is Cynthia. " He begins. " I can smell her scent all over this building and around town. " Everybody looked up at this because not once had Cynthia mention a brother.
" How can you smell her around here? " I ask having a suspicion about the man.
" That's a bit to personal sir. " The man states. " but I will show you something. " The man begins to carve a circle and inscriptons on the counter and then puts a chunk of wood on it proceeded by his hand on it causing a bright light to form. And once the light died down there was a tiny wooden statue where the circle and wood used to be.
" How did you do that? " A small brown haired boy asked from behind the man. The man turns around to the boy and begins to speak.
" I practice an art similar to magic called Alchemy. " He says causing my eyes to widen.
' I thought all the alchemist died out centuries ago and now alchemy is just potions. ' I think to myself. The man turns back around to face me and speaks.
" No, not all Alchemist are dead there are a few of them here and there. The person who taught me was my mother. " He answer somehow knowing what I was thinging.
" how did you know what I was thinking? " I ask starting to get even more suspicious about him.
" My abilities are very interesting and that's all you need to know. " The man said as he stood up and then turned around then continued his statement. " I will tell you this Makarov, one day in the near future a pink rose shall turn to red ice when that happens 3 beings shall confront your guild I do not suggest fighting them. " as he finishes he starts walking towards the door, but stops when I gain his attention.
" What would your name be sir? " I ask the man stopping him in his tracks with my words.
" My name. " He began, " I've never really had one. " the unnamed man smiles back at us and continues to walk to the doors and leaves the guild, while throwing something that wiped everyones memory of him but my own probably to protect his identity or to keep us from mentioning him to Cynthia. I proceed to turn my attention to the tiny wooden statue that he had created using his alchemy. I was a tall man with no facial features except a mouth that was in a cheshure cat smile, but was dressed in a tuxedo.
" I wonder what this thing is supposed to be, I've never seen anything that looks even remotely like it? " I ask outloud but low enough no one hears me as I stand up take the figurine in hand and move it to my office.
( END FLASHBACK )
' Is this the time that he meant, Is Cynthia the pink rose that he spoke of if so what did he mean by when it turns to red ice. ' I was making laps within my mind trying to understand what he meant.
" Master is everythink ok you seem a bit stressed? " Mira asked dragging me from my thoughts.
" I'm just worried about Cynthia is all. She's never been one to get sick so its frightening what could possibly make her that sick. " I answered. Truthfully I was very worried for her, she was like the grand-daughter I would never have. I turn to guildarts and think for a second and decide on the best course of action.
" hey Gildarts have you ever seen anything like this before? " I ask him remembering that ever since the Phantom Lord insident I keep the figurine on me and Pull it out handing it to Gildarts. He takes the object from my hand and begins to examine it thoroughly.
" It looks like a master craftsmen made this, is there anything special about it? " he replies setting the figurine down between us on the bar.
" No not really, I was just wondering if you've ever seen anything like this. " I state trying my best not to say anything infront of everyone. what suprised me was Loki appearing and walking up to us.
" Where did you get that? " He asks rather demandingly. Gildarts and I exchange looks and turn our attention to loki. He'd never acted like this before.
" Do you know what it's supposed to be? " We both ask clueless of the figures significance.
" That is a Voidwalker and from the looks of it the same one that appeared in the Celestial world 20 of your years ago. " Loki said, " but where did you get that? " I sensed that loki wasn't telling us the whole truth.
" What did the Voidwalker do in the Celestial world and what is a Voidwalker? " I ask him. Loki had a tensed look on him.
" A voidwalker is a creature similar to a Celestial but its realm is called the Void and completely black place, There aren't many voidwalkers left because of their worlds enviroment is so harsh and the ones that are alive are strong, but most of them aren't hostile to other sentient beings. " Loki said sharing his knowledge of the species. " This one on the other hand appeared in the Celestial world for no reason, and Aquarius was the first to confront him. " His sentence ended with him putting on a mixture of an ashamed and saddened look.
( Voidwalker's Pov 20 years ago )
I had somehow found my way into the Celestial's domain. This place is too bright how do they even live in a place like this. I had began to walk around for a few minutes and had found a shoreline.
" ahh water it's nice to finally be able to relax. " I say as I take a drink from the ocean. I hear something russling in the bushes behind me. ' It sounds like Celestials. ' I think to myself.
" ahhh it's nice that we are all here and we can have some fun. " Came a blue-haired woman.
" Yea it is. " Said a tan-skinned man who had a scorpion like tail.
" I'm glad me and Aries can have some time together. " said a orange haired man.
" I'm sorry we don't get alot of time together. " A pink haired woman said pulling at a wool like vest.
" nah it's cool * snip snip * " Said a man with crab like legs sticking from his back.
" ahh we need to keep Moooving the beach is right over here. " a large cow said.
' hmmm they must be the zodiacs. ' I think to myselfs as I take a seat. ' hopefully they'll leave me alone. '
They continue walking and appear behind me at first they seemed shocked by my presence, but then one of them approaches me.
" Leo isn't that a voidwalker. " the scorpion-tailed man asks.
" Yea it looks like one but what is it doing here. " the orange haired man replies.
" I can hear you. " I tell them not bothering to turn around. " If you know what I am you know that I have good hearing so why are you whispering. " The blue-haired woman walks up to me from behind and points her finger at me.
" What do you think your doing on my turf Demon. " she yells at me. ok I honestly don't like being called a demon technically i'm similar to one but I'm not one.
" enjoying the water, and may I ask whose turf would I be on? " I ask not turning around to look at her.
" WHY YOU, YOUR ON THE TURF OF THE WATER BEARER AQUARIUS. " the woman yells at me enraged by my actions. She raises her fist to hit me and I stop her by sending one of my shadow arms from by back to intercept.
" I wouldn't do that if I were you. " I say pushing her back with my shadow arm. She is sent into the arms of the scorpion man.
" thank you scorpio. " Aquarius replies from Scorpio's arms.
" No prob babe. " Scorpio replies smiling. The pink haired woman is the next to approach me.
" I'm sorry but will you please move if that's ok that is. " She asks nervously. Why do I have a soft spot for this one. I stand up and turn around and look down at her.
" I'm sorry miss all you needed to do is ask. " I say bowing down and taking her hand in mine and kissing it. Leo seemed to have gotten jealous from this. As I walk past the Pinkette and back towards the bush I'm stopped by the Scorpion and Lion.
" Oh no you don't we're not letting you go after what you did to Aquarius. " Scorpio told me.
" Yea and no one can do that to Aries but me got it. " Leo yelled. I looked over at the cow and crab men.
" are these two being serious? " I ask them. They nod yes and I turn my attention back to them. " what are you two going to do hmm. "
" THIS. " They yell as they rear their arms back and shoot them forwards in an ATTEMPT to hit me.
" hmm well remember you caused this not me. " I say as a devilish smile appears on my face as My two arms collide with their faces knocking them back 10 yards. " I say for the Lion and Scorpion you two are actually not that strong, but of course you weren't raised in a hell hole like me. " I say mocking them.
" Scorpio. " Aquarius yells in worry. " I'll get you for that. " she says directing the comment at me. The Cow, crab, Aries and Aquarius at this point were in a group in front of Scorpio and Leo readying to charge me.
" Please try your best I haven't had much of a challenge lately, this should be fun. " I say smiling as Aquarius fires water from her urn. I side step causing the water to hit the treeline behind me. The next strike came from the Cow and Crab.
" Your going to be Moooving really far after this. " The cow yells as he swings his battleaxe at me. I leap unto the axe as he's swinging it causing him confusion as to where I had went.
" Wow are all of you like this walking steak. " I say moching the cow as I knock him down with a strong blow to the head.
" No we aren't -ebi. " The crab says appearing behind me with his scizzors trying to cut me with them. I grab his arms and legs with my shadow arms comming from my back.
" you think you can sneak up on me. " I state as I slam him into the ground. " So whats left Aquarius, Leo, and Scorpio. " I say looking up at the three who were glaring me down.
" WOOL BOMB. " Yelled the pink haired girl known as Aries. I successfully dodge the fluffy substance which then makes contact with the cow and crab.
" wow thanks for that, that should keep them down. " I say thanking the girl then turning my attention to those who stood infront of me.
" ehhhh, I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry. " she repeated to her fallen comrads.
" Shadow storm. " I say as darkness falls upon all 7 of us. " you don't think you can honestly fight me in my native battlefield do you. " and not even a second later the shadows are dispelled showing the celestials.
" Ha my regulas can dispel your shadows. " Leo says trying to mock me.
" hmmm. " I say as I start walking towards them.
" what is he doing? " asked Scorpio feeling nervous about what was happening.
" I don't know but I'm getting a bad feeling. " Aquarius says as she starts shaking.
" It doesn't matter we can take em. " Leo said taking a fighting stance. I continue walking until I'm right infront of him and then begin to speak.
" I will not harm the pink head but you three, You are going to regret messing with a Voidwalker. " I start. " Shadow barrage. " Shadows from all over were sent to attack the 3 Celestials that stood infront of me.
( Makarov's Pov present time )
As loki ended I now understood why he hates this figurine so much.
" That's what happened and that thing. He left the Celestial world after that by request of the Celestial King. He had caused such an Uproar with us that he had to ask him to leave. " Loki ended. Everyone at the guild was looking at Loki horror struck faces, but Lucy's was the worst of all.
" What kind of monster is that thing. " Lucy said as horror filled her eyes and she was afraid of this Voidwalker.
" It's a monster that you don't want to anger. " Loki said turning around with a depressed look in his eyes. " and we learned the hard way. " as he finished he just walked over and took a seat by Lucy.
( Time skip 30 minutes )
( Wendy's Pov )
I had gotten what I needed from Natsu's house and was on my way back and was now almost back to the guild.
" I hope Natsu is ok that I got his scarf for him, it doesn't seem right with him not wearing it. " I say catching Carla's and Happy's attention.
" I agree it does seem a bit odd for either of them not to wear it. " Carla concurred.
" Aye. Natsu or Cynthia is always wearing the scarf so it is unnatural for either of them, Natsu's probably just to worried that he forgot it. " Came the small blue flying cat.
" yea he is but I'm worried for her too. " I say as see the front entrance of the guild and two cloaked figures standing at the entrance. As I approach I can tell 2 things one is that they are hesitant about entering and two they are not mages of our guild.
" Hello can I help you with something? " I ask the two causing them to turn around and look at me. They look at me then notice my guildmark.
" ahh yes is a person named Natsu here we need to talk to him. " said the figure in the brown cloak who sounded like a man. I could see glowing purple eyes from under the hood which were a bit scary.
" We really need to talk to him, Its about a dear friend of ours. " Came the figure who was hidden by a white cloak. The voice was rather feminine so you could tell that it was a woman.
" Natsu's in the guild but he's in the infirmary. " I answer. " I can take you in but i don't know if you'll be able to talk to him. " The two looked relieved by my statement.
" Thank you please lead the way miss. " They both say. I walk infront of them as I open the doors to the guild and what follows was eyes from all over the guild were now on the two I brought in and were waving at us. We continue to walk until we are infront of the Master, Gildarts, and Mira.
" say Wendy who are your friends? " Mira asks politely. I turn to her with a smile on my face.
" They asked to see Natsu, and Its very important from the way they're acting. " I replied catching them offguard.
" Hmmm that's going to be tough, Natsu hasn't left the infirmary since Cynthia collapsed. He's probably not upto handling anything big since she's in that condition. " Gildarts says stating what they were all thinking.
( Natsu's Pov )
I had Cynthia's hand in mine and was sitting right beside her. Why of all things is this happening now, and the worst of it is I don't know what to do. then I hear a voice.
" Your worried for her aren't you? " a voice questioned from the darkside of the room. At first I'm freaked out by the sudden interruption, then I realized who it was.
" Oh its you, I should've known she speaks so fondly of you at times. " I replied. " And yes I am. " I finish looking down at her sprawled out figure.
" What if is was to tell you that there is a way to make her better... " the voice began.
" What is there really a way to. " I say eager to help her. The voice's owner had a frown now.
" You didn't let me finish. " He said, " Now as I was saying What if there was a way, but there was one catch. " This caught my attention.
" What's the catch? " I question as the voice's owner comes out of the shadows and takes the seat opposite of me.
" You and your friends would never be able to make contact with her again. " The man said, as he talked he had a smile on his face that made me want to punch him for saying that while doing so. I sit there for a few seconds contemplating my answer.
" No, I made her a promise. I'm not leaving her side even if she doesn't wake up, I'll wait how ever long it takes. " I reply and what follows suprises me. the man just smiled even more.
" I'm glad to here that, this is why I supported her picking you so much. " the man said causing me to look at him in confusion. " She is very important to all of us don't take her for granite. " The man ended as he stood up.
" Slenderman how did you meet Cynthia in the first place anyhow? " I ask wanting to know the previous meeting of the Voidwalker and my Wife. He just looked down at me and retook his seat smiling.
" Marvelous question Natsu. " He began as he put his hand on his chin remembering the day he met her. " 15 years ago, I had been severely injured by a human who had stabbed me on my side causing me to retreat deep into an unknown forest. "
( Flashback 15 years in a forest on the Fioren countryside )( Slenderman's Pov )
' Damn that human causing such unneaded violence. ' I think as I clutch the stab wound on my side. ' Hmmm i've lost alot of blood, I need to rest for a bit. ' I walk over to a tree and prop up against as I sit down leaning on it with my back as I admire the stars.
" ahhh first time I get to relax in a long time. only if it was under better cercumstances. " I say as a jolt of pain courses through my body.
" mister are you alright? " I hear a young voice ask. Where did it come from though.
" Who are you show your self. " I say as I stumble to my feet still clutching the wound. I see a little girl standing a few yards from me poking her head out from behind a tree.
" My names Cynthia. " The little pink head said as she came out from behind the tree. I looked her over once and found her not to be that much of a threat.
" So why is a little girl like you out here in the wilderness hmm? " I ask her not knowing what she truely was.
" I'm with my brother and mom. She's teaching us about magic. " The little girl states then looks down at my wound that I was clutching. pointing at it she tells me something awfully strange for a girl her age. " I can take care of that if you want. " I look at her for a few more seconds then decide that I have nothing to lose.
" Sure, if you think you can fix it go ahead. " I say not thinking she was able to do such. She walks up to me as I sit back down.
" This may hurt a bit. " She says before a bright light appears on her hands over the wound and following it sharp pain searing through my body.
' Ahhh what the hell is she doing. ' I thought myself trying to bear with the pain. within seconds the bright light dissappears and she stands up.
" There ya go mister your all fixed up. " She says smiling. I look down at my side and she was right the wound had completely healed. My expression was one of shock and awe. " you can come with me to meet my moma and brother if you want, I'm sure they'd like to meet you. " she said causing me to look at her from where I sat. I stand up and walk upto her.
" Sure I'd like that. " I tell the girl causing her to jump with glee. We continue to walk for a bit then start talking again.
" Hey mister whats your name? " Cynthia asks me. My name no ones ever called me by anything other that Voidwalker.
" I have no name. " I state causing her to look up at me.
" Whaaa you don't have a name. " She says as I look back down at her, " Well then I guess we'll give you a name. " Is she serious, She's going to give me a name a girl who looks about 7 years old is going to name me. She looks me over a bit and then speaks. " your very skinny and tall, hmmmmmm, what do you think about Slenderman? " She asks.
" Slenderman, I like the sound of that. " I tell her giving my honest oppinion on the subject.
( Present time Natsu's Pov )
" That was the beginning of our friendship. " Slenderman ended while looking at Cynthia.
" so that's how you two met, she's never told me how you two crossed pass but has told me how your a very important person to her. " I tell him remembering all the things she had said about him.
" really now, I'd never think that I would make such an impact on her life. " He replied putting on a smile.
" Yea We've all either impacted on her or have been impacted by her. " I say squeezing her hand a bit. " I can't imagine anything without her. " A single tear stroles down my face as I finish.
" Natsu, I know what's happening to her. It's not going to hurt her but there will be changes. " Slenderman began, " Her mother told me that this day would come and to tell her mate, if she had one, what's going on. " This caught my attention.
" So you've actually met her mother? " I ask in pure awe that someone caught a glimpse of her mother.
" Yes, I owe alot to her and her mother, But that's not what I'm here for right now. " He stated.
" Please continue then. " I reply. He moves a bit in his seat returning his attention from her to me.
" She's going through something like a Metamorphasis if you want to call it that. Her magic has been sealed for a long time and because she had other magic available this magic grew stronger as the other one did. " Slenderman said, " But because of it getting stronger, after the seal on it broke her body was flooded with the magic energy that was contained. Right now her body is readjusting to this magic. " as he finished I was left awestruck that she had that much magic sealed to cause that.
" So what your saying is that because of her having so much magic energy sealed and it growing stronger as she did. She is having to adapt to that much magic being within her body." I reply.
" Precisely, and this process will take a few days to even a week or so. It depends on how strong the magic was. " He said.
" Is there anything that I can do to help her? " I question while thinking about all the fun and bad times we've had.
" No, there is nothing anyone can do to help her. This is a natural process and she shouldn't be harmed by this in anyway. " He replies.
" Ok. " I answer while feeling so helpless in this situatation. " So what are you going to do now? "
" Me I'm probably going to be close by until the process is over. " He answered back. I nod my head as he walks over to the dark side of the room and then turns back to me.
" Take good care of her Natsu, we will continue to watch you and her from afar and we will protect her if needed. " he says as a neutral look finds its way onto his face.
" Don't worry I will take good care of her. " I reply as I watch a smile come to Slender's face as he molds into the shadows.
" that's all I wanted to hear. " He finishes as he completely disappates into the darkness.
