Hey,
I have good news and bad news! Good news is that I actually finished 3 full-length chapters in a week. Yipee! The bad news is they aren't in the best state. I'm getting all dizzy trying to beta-read it. My current beta's busy, and I don't want to burden her more...
Tell you what, if I got a beta-reader then I'll update twice a week. *gulp* hopefully. As long as the beta can do it too... Come on, I'm risking my sleeping hours here!
Anyone who's interested on being a beta-reader say "I" and I'll PM you or vice-versa?
I'm so sorry for the mistakes.
SHOUTOUT to rainbow-brite1 you were right about Jellal. I've been wanting to do this for awhile. Would you like a reward? You can enslave my hands to write you a story you like. Anything. Although I don't think I'm up to rated M stuff.
ANOTHER SHOUTOUT to CrystallurvesFT. I know I replied to your review on Chapter 4, right? If you're still reading this then you also can get your reward (written up there) Free hand enslavement coupon. Here ya go!
Disclaimer: Fairy Tail's ending, and I can't control it because I don't own it.
I do not own the incantation used by Jellal below. I got it from and edited it a bit.
Mira frowned. This wasn't part of her plan— well, actually it is, but her trap lured somebody else instead of the person she expected. Standing in front of her was not a cocky and arrogant blonde dragonslayer from Sabertooth, but a familiar blue-haired mage with a red tattoo covering the right side of his face.
" Hi. I'm..."
" Jellal Fernandes, right?" Mirajane smiled at him and his team who was just behind him.
"...yeah." he answered, shocked that the woman in front of him wasn't the least bit scared or mad for seeing his face near Fairy Tail.
" I'm Mirajane Strauss." she introduced herself. " Are you perhaps looking for Erza? I can call her for you..."
" No!" Jellal quickly stopped her " I mean, yes...No!"
His quick changes of mind left the silver-haired takeover mage confused " Eh? Which is it?" she asked
One of his teammates probably got sick of him, and decided to speak for themselves. Although it was obvious by her voice that she was a woman, she still hid under her blue cloak. She sighed. " What Jellal meant was although he wanted to see Erza, our goal here wasn't her."
The other hooded member sighed too. " Jelly-man here is lovesick. Sorry about that!" Of course, her statment earned a protested " I am not!" from Jellal. But his reddening cheeks was obviously saying something else
"We're from Crime Sorciere. An independent guild which takes down dark guilds and everything related to Zeref. And we would like to speak with your Master with regards to the Grand Magic Games, if possible?" The woman spoke again
" Oh, Master..." Mira's voice became downcasted seeing that her trap failed, and there were no more matches to be created. " Sure! But you might want to talk to him when the rowdy group has left in order to prevent suspicion."
" Leave?" they asked in unison
" Well, those who were stuck in Tenroujima wanted to strengthen their powers. Everyone hated being left behind the 7 year timeskip. That's why we're going to our training missions! Besides, we'll have to fight in the Grand Magic Games in top-notch!"
The three nodded.
" Well, see ya! I still have to inform Master." Mira said as she suddenly jumped down a very tall tree, leaving the Crime Sorciere's team shocked. However, when they looked the down the tree, any traces of her disappeared. She was gone.
" Weird fairies..." Meredy commented, finally removing her hood which protected her identity.
" Are you sure you'll go join the fairies in the games, Jellal?" she asked
" It's the nearest place I can get to Zeref's aura. We feel it every year but it suddenly disappears right after the games..."
" And the nearest place to get cozy with Erza..." Meredy and Ultear gave him a knowing smirk.
" Girls..." he huffed
o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o
" Luce, Wake up! Lucy! Lucy! Lucyyyyyyy!" Natsu yelled towards Lucy's ear. She swears that it's going to be his fault if she goes deaf.
" Natsu, get off my be—" It didn't take too long to notice that she wasn't in her apartment which she abandoned a month ago. It must be nostalgia. " Where are we?" she asked, looking around for any sign that would tell her their location. But to her dismay, nothing can be seen but the familiar sight of green, bushy trees and damp grass and soil under her.
She had camped in a forest when she was training with Sting, and she was very much sure that this wasn't a normal forest. But what forest is anyway. It's called forest for a reason, probably to state the lurking dangers nearby. She even heard something else, like raging water?
She looked behind her and her jaw-dropped instantly at the ground. Her eyes widened, and her hold on her teammates got tighter due to the fear of falling.
"Why are we here?!" she demanded
Natsu laughed as he rubbed the back of his head nervously " We kinda got lost and separated from the rest on the way to our destination."
Gray glared at Natsu " Flame-brain here can't handle the train so he decided he might get better if he would fight someone. Of course, a fight easily erupted between the members and we got kicked off the train."
" Everyone got kicked off? With Mira, Erza, Laxus and the rest of the powerful mages behind our backs. We got kicked off?" Lucy demanded
It was Gray's time to grin sheepishly at her " Only us."
"Us?" Lucy asked again
" You, Me, Erza and Ice-Princess over here. Isn't that great?" Natsu grinned while pointing to Erza who was surveying the place for any food to eat, and a cave to stay.
" and Juvia, if you look at that moving bush near us." Gray whispered in a weirded out manner.
Lucy was trying her best not to let her anger erupt. " So...how did I, who just got hit by a chair and fell unconscious, got into this?" Not good, her eyebrow was already twitching.
" A team should always stick together! right, Luce? That's why I took everyone on Team Natsu with us. Including you." Natsu idiotically replied
Gray and Happy shook their heads in disagreement. " You're gonna get it now."
" Get what?"
" N-Natsu..." 'Calm down, Lucy. Calm down.' she kept reminding herself
" Yeah?"
Lucy had been taking deep breaths by this time just to keep her cool " A person who is lost, after being kicked out the train would be in the middle of the forest, right?"
" I don't get it..."
An irk mark on Lucy was becoming more and more visible by each second passing " Then why the hell did I just wake up on a cliff? Furthermore, on top of a waterfall cliff!?"
Natsu, the dense idiot, stayed ignorant of the dark aura that was forming around his teammate. He just kept on answering her weird questions. Isn't it obvious enough? " Because we're lost? Duh, Lucy? I thought you were smarter than that?"
" L-L-Lucy...y-you're scary..." Happy stammered in fear. He was now hiding behind Gray who just created an Ice wall between him and Lucy.
"Natsu?" Lucy grimaced at him, while silently clenching her fists behind her.
Natsu, in turn, looked at her and yelled " Aaaaaah! What's happening? Lucy you're getting uglier."
'Uglier?' That did it. Screw punching. "Lucy Kick!" she gave him a perfect roundhouse kick which was his perfect escort down the falls.
She was on her way into calming down when she heard Happy whisper to Gray something which sounds like " Good thing Natsu didn't tell her that I was the one who suggested taking Lucy with us."
In a mere second, Lucy kicked him down the falls like Natsu, only with much stronger force that will restrict him from using his Aera magic.
" I'm sorrrrrrryyyyyy!" he apologized as he fell helplessly.
Then Lucy looked at the terrified Gray beside her, hiding behind a smaller version of his Ice make: Shield. " You have something to tell me too?"
Gray shook his head furiously. Lucy considered letting him go but Juvia's yell of " Gray-sama, Juvia will always love you even if you're the one who lay Love-Rival at the edge of the waterfall, and not lay Juvia down instead."
" Oho~" Lucy started on cracking her knuckles in front of him.
Gray cleared his throat " Now that it had come to this... Ice Make: Hammer." Lucy, at first, thought that he was going to fight his way off so she prepared her keys, but the thing that shocked her the most, was the fact that he used his own hammer to send him down the falls just like Natsu and Happy.
Juvia, of course, went after him and jumped herself. She morphed with the water and caught Gray's fall. He was safe, yet still weirded out with Juvia.
Lucy felt a hand on her shoulder. She looked towards the owner of the hand, and saw that it was Erza with the same deadly smirk as she once had. " Good job, Lucy. I was about to do the same thing, but decided that you should have your turn first since they DID throw a chair at you a while ago."
"...First?" Lucy paled at Erza's remark, and she felt guilty all of a sudden. Those guys were going to experience much more pain than what she had already given them...from Titania nonetheless.
Without replying from her question, Erza dove down the falls and requipped into a new armor which no one had ever seen. A new armor only showed stronger offense skills for her. Thus, it meant one thing—those under the falls would be so dead.
Lucky for them Wendy was here to heal them. Wait— Wendy? They dared to take a child with the consenquences of their stupidity?! All of the doubt which flooded Lucy's mind instantly disappeared, and one thought stayed. " They deserved it."
o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o
" Are you sure we chose the right people to follow?" Meredy asked as they hid up the tallest tree in the forest, nearest to the mages they were eyeing.
" Well, this IS Fairy Tail's strongest team according to Master Makarov." Jellal answered albeit reluctantly. Even he himself was having a hard time believing that these mages were indeed part of the strongest team.
Ultear shooked her head lightly " You're just enjoying the fact that you can see Erza from the nearest point of view, don't you?"
" That's called chancing, Jelly-man." Meredy smirked
Jellal scowled while his cheeks were tinged pink. He took a deep breath and mantained leadership for the moment, or else his team would end up wasting another hour with this topic again. " We should believe in Master Makarov's decision. I'm sure after watching over them, we can see why he thinks this is Fairy Tail's strongest team."
" I don't know..." Meredy sighed " Yeah, they're all really powerful. I can feel the pressure of their magical energy up here. They got cooperation...sort of. But it's Fairy Tail we're talking about. Their bonds are what's making them stronger. Natsu and Gray are still stupid as ever, even after the 7-year timeskip. Although it's glad to know that Juvia-chan still didn't change." she giggled " Crazy girl, chasing me even though her leg was heavily bruised."
Jellal and Ultear laughed as well, knowing the familiar story which Meredy proudly told.
" And Lucy isn't as bad as how she was before in Tenroujima. Something's changed, and I could tell that her magic has gotten stronger." then she added, "A lot stronger."
" And scary like Erza."
" They've became similar in ways..."
" Wendy's cool too." Meredy smiled " Another dragonslayer could only mean more fun in Fairy Tail. They were lucky enough to get a kind healer/dragonslayer without motion sickness."
" We have our answer then." Ultear said " I'll be opening their Second Origin before the game starts."
" Wait." Jellal stopped her
" Why?"
" Can't you sense it? Something's wrong with their magical aura. It's pretty much normal if you don't pay too much attention to it, but..."
" There's a magical aura similar to yours when you were posessed, isn't it?" Ultear suggested with a guilty expression evident on her face. She remembered that she was the cause why this happened to Jellal. She ruined his life and made everyone believe he was evil. Although he keeps telling her that he had long forgiven her, she still blames herself most of the time.
Jellal nodded. " For now, we'll continue to survey them from afar."
o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o
It took a while but they were finally able to return to their original destination. They were able to find their guildmates with the help of Pyxis, Natsu and Wendy's sense of smell; after walking a very very long time. And to think their training place was a beach. 'Who was the smart ass who thought of it?' they wondered, before they understood where they are.
Sparkling sea water, soft white sand beneath their feet, the heat of the sun above them...
It's the Beach! Screw training. They still have 3 months left. There's nothing wrong with enjoying in their first day, right? So without any further ado... Let the day begin!
Smashed.
That was what they felt after the day passed. It didn't help that Virgo happened to bring them to the Celestial Spirit world to celebrate their return from Tenroujima after 7 years. Everyone had so much fun that they didn't notice that the time passed in a fast pace.
The Fairy Tail mages fainted on the beach sand when they knew that three months had already passed. How were they supposed to know that one day in the Spirit world is equal to 3 months in Earthland!?
Fortunately, Crime Sorciere decided to step in that moment, and save the day. They sent a letter to meet them near the cliff that afternoon. No one else should be there other than Crime Sorciere and Fairy Tail. However, they wondered who exactly sent them the letter—Who's Crime Sorciere?
The shock they felt when they found out their identies were indescribable. Never had they expected those three mages were able to get together, be good, and create a new purpose for their life—Crime Sorciere.
Since Master Makarov did allow Crime Sorciere's wish, they decided to give something in return, something they terribly need. Power. Ultear casted a spell on them to open their second origin, which will cause them deep pain before they can gain the power they want. To force their Second Origin open. While everyone inside the hut was writhing in pain, those lucky ones escaped. Jellal and Erza comitted a sunset tryst...not really. They were just clearing things out between them. Unfortunately.
And the other one was... Lucy Heartfilia. She decided to hide herself in the safety of the trees. She went far away from the others, not because she wanted to escape, but because Ultear already casted the spell on her yet nothing happened. Her Second Origin won't open. There must be something wrong with her! It worked on Wendy and Natsu... Why can't it work with her? Erza already opened hers...
" Ugh, I feel so frustrated! Why? What's wrong with me?" she demanded
The person she was talking to merely laughed at her uncontrollably, teasing her.
" Y-You! Don't laugh at me!" she scolded as she was embarassed by him laughing at her.
" Sorry, can't help it." he apologized, wiping tears of joy from his eyes " By this rate, Sabertooth's really going to win this thing, blondie."
" Keep dreaming, Sting!" Lucy retaliated " Fairy Tail will claim the throne. Now that we've returned after 7 years, we certainly won't lose!"
" And what makes you say that? Sabertooth had been claiming the throne for consecutive seven years. No one could beat us. Not even your friends."
Lucy grinned. She knew the answer to that. It was always their answer. " We can do it because we're Fairy Tail."
" Tch." Sting sneered " Is that a challenge, Lucy?" he smirked. His amusement was clearly shown.
I narrowed my eyes at him. " I'm all fired up."
" Tell me that when you're done getting three months worth of training in one day, blondie. Oh wait— The second origin's forced opening didn't work on you." he mocked. That assh*le! " See ya." with a last playful wink, the communication lacrima turned dark. The connection was cut.
" Sting, you idiot!" Lucy screamed from the top of her lungs. Good thing she was a good distance away from the hut where the rest are staying, or else she'll be caught. 'That annoying guy. All he does is annoy the hell out of me.' Lucy thought as she punched every tree in sight; and as if that still isn't enough, she decided to slice them too with her Heavenly arrows. Almost all the trees in the area was uprooted. Her surroundings looked like a calamity passed through it by the time she was done. Not even the soil escaped from her Heaven's breakdown.
After letting out her anger, she was supposed to come back to the hut, to see how her teammates were doing. However,
" Lucy Heartfilia."
Lucy gasped in shock as she saw the three familiar figures in front of her. They may have very well found out her secret due to her little slip-up. " or should I say, Michelle Eucliffe?" Ultear added with a proud smirk plastered on her face.
Lucy refused to reply, she merely looked at Crime Sorciere cautiously. The three were known to be very powerful mages, she must be very focused in case this turns into a battle.
" Smart girl, but you see..." Ultear suddenly appeared behind her, whispering " we faced a thousand villains just like you." Originally, Ultear expected her to yell, fidget, stutter in shock... even a single raise of heartbeat would be appreciated too, but to no avail. She wasn't affected at all. She was definitely hiding something else.
" Mou, Ultear! You're the oldest yet you're the most immature. Stop playing your games already." Meredy scolded her mother figure. " Crime Sorciere avoid fights if necessary. We just need answers, Lucy-san or maybe Michelle-san? Who's the true one?"
"...Lucy. Lucy Heartfilia." she reluctantly answered " Now, what do you want with me?!" she demanded
" You're not in any position to ask the questions." Jellal stated
" No." Lucy shook her head. " I answered your question, now answer mine. Truth for the truth." she replied
" What gives you the idea that we would answer your question, when you're clearly outnumbered, Lucy." Ultear asked, amusedly. It was a first time they saw a target that was as confident as her, and pure looking despite the darkness which might be hidden in her.
Lucy stared at them directly without any fear in her eyes. Being a Heartfilia heiress she was trained to face various bad guys like this...with a strong facade while thinking of multiple ways to escape in the easiest way. " I am perfectly confident that I can outrun the rest of you with my magic." my eyes then darted to Jellal " The only one who can catch up to me is you, Jellal. There are nine Fairy tail mages near the area, two of them are dragonslayers and two of them are exceeds. I'm sure I can get to them before you can catch me. I am the goddess of speed after all." she grinned at them
" An escape plan, huh? Smart girl."
" Yeah... my idiotic fiancé says the same thing." Lucy mocked
" But what if we don't let you escape? And instead kill you right here, right now?" they asked darkly
" You won't." I retaliated " You're an independent guild, right? A guild with no approvance of the King."
" Where are you going with this?" Meredy asked " I'm getting dizzy with all these details..."
" My father, Jude Heartfilia is very close with the King of Fiore, and the CEO of the Heartfilia Konzern. He has powerful connections everywhere. I'm sure that if anything happened to his daughter because of an independent guild with three ex-convicts, you'll be arrested once again and everything you worked hard on will come crashing down"
" She's got a point." Meredy nodded. " It's fair. Let's do it Ultear, Jellal." She looked at her companions, and waited for them to show any sign of agreement; when they did, she was the first to speak " Don't be scared, Lucy-san, as long as you cooperate with us, we would easily let you go back to them. To answer your question, we approached you because we sense something dark in your magic. As we said earlier with the rest of the fairies, Crime Sorciere aims to elimimate all dark guilds and everything in connection with Zeref...if possible, Zeref himself."
Lucy nodded as she absorbed all the information she's getting.
" Now, it's our time to ask a question." Jellal started " Lucy, what we saw earlier... I'm sure it's Heavenly Body magic. How did you get it?"
" I trained. I found an old spell book which contains about the Heavenly Body magic. It peaked my interest so I researched it even more, until I found out that the Heavenly Body's magic has the same magic circle as my Celestial Spirit magic. They're connected. After that, well— it's easier to perfect the magic since I've been weilding a similar type."
The three shook their heads together. Lucy made the wrong decision. She indeed had grown powerful, but much darker. She doesn't know whatust happened the moment she mastered her magic.
" My turn. Why are you three shaking your heads as if something's terrible?" Lucy asked
" That's because it is." Ultear explained " Did you know that your magic has traces from Dark magic."
" Huh? Which one?"
"Both of them."
" But—" I tried to defend my magic but to no avail
" Celestial Spirit magic may look good at the outside, but in reality, it's simply enslavement. Zeref created the 12 Zodiac keys to open Eclipse, one of his other works. It can be connected either to the past or the future."
" And the other one?"
" It's our turn." Meredy said " But don't worry, your question would be answered while Jelly-man explains here.
" Last question, what did you give up for the Heavenly Body magic?" Jellal asked, ignoring the nickname Meredy called him.
" Give up? I didn't give up anything..."
" Don't play dumb with me. I see why we sense darkness in your magic now, Lucy. To use Heavenly Body magic one must sacrifice something in return. In the past, I sacrificed my sanity when we were in The Tower of Heaven, as you know. Now what did you give up?"
" No... I didn't give up anything. I swear! Nothing." she replied " Sorry, It's not my style to offer sacrificial lambs and such."
Jellal looked at Ultear " Is she telling the truth?"
Ultear nodded. " Everything about her body is normal. If she lied, there should be body lingual signs showing, like increase of heart rates...but none. I don't understand. She's telling the truth, but having Heavenly Body magic without any sacrifice is impossible."
"Zeref created it to follow the principle of equivalent exchange, a bit like like Nirvana. That's why it has it's hints of dark magic. It can't suddenly change..." Meredy added. She was panicking herself. They never encountered something like this before.
" She could be brainwashed." Jellal suggested " Somehow like what happened to me."
" Figures. If she's brainwashed then even she herself doesn't know the truth." Meredy nodded, she turned to Lucy again " Do you know anyone who held a grudge against you or your family?"
" What? Please...Just accept it. I didn't sacrifice anything, and I was certainly not brainwashed. No one holds a grudge against me— not that I know of, but there are a lot of grudges to my family in the past. There were multiple kidnappings for ransom and murder attempted when I was a kid, but none of them were sucessful. My personal bodyguards quickly caught them."
" Who told you that?"
" No one. I remember it perfectly." she answered
" This really doesn't make sense." Ultear shook her head " Her mind's highly guarded. There's no way it can be easily brainwashed. Besides, if she was brainwashed, even if it is done by a proficient brainwasher, the info in her head wouldn't match. There's going to be a lot of confusion, but the way she answers it confidently, there's nothing wrong."
" Hypnotism then?"
Ultear glared at Meredy " Those things doesn't work unless it's one of the main attacks of a magician. Even if it did work, it'll only last a few hours. It should have been gone by now." then she turned to her blue-haired companion " How about trying a spell on her, Jellal?"
" What spell?" he asked
" Memory spell."
"Alright then." Jellal cracked his knuckles as he started the spell. " Tis I call upon the powers of old, To call upon the light of Justis divine, By oks and trees old make Lucy Heartfilia tell the truth or he shall die, In the incinerator of fire old. "
" Our dream... F-Fairy tail...3 Pillars...Jaimie...Yui...Alec." she stammered as she held her head tightly "W-What's happening?" she turned to the trio. The look of pure fear was on her eyes. However, they did not know what she was scared of.
Lucy screamed. She couldn't take it anymore. Vision-like memories that she doesn't remember seeing before pops out of her head.
The first thing she saw was a black dimension. There was absolutely nothing she can see, but she heard something like 'Chase our dream. Go join Fairy Tail. I will find you.' The next thing she knew she was staring a boy's smile, only his smile as his moans of pain were heard throughout the room. Buff men in black suits continuously beated him up without any guilt. But all the boy did was smile back at her. Even though she wanted to help him, she was frozen in my place. She couldn't move.
The last one was in a forest which she'd never seen before. There were three people with the same guild mark tattooed on their body. 'What guild? What guild are they from?' was the only question running through her head. She was desperate to know why she's having this dream. It looked like a memory since she was there when she was young, but on the other hand, it can't be called a memory because she never remembered it happening. And clearly, the answer lies in that guild.
" Look kid, It's good to be cautious. You know, like a friend? For a kid your age anyway." the first man told the little blonde girl standing in front of them. Her eyes were like a deep black abyss of nothing. It held no soul at all.
" I...have a friend." the little girl replied, sitting on the ground and hugging her knees close to her body tightly.
" Good, I guess...so where's your friend now?" The woman asked
" ...He's dead." the little girl stared straight into their eyes, seeing the look of shock on their face.
Lucy blinked. Dead? The boy she was dreaming about was dead? What exactly did that dream meant?
Seeing that Lucy was back to herself. The three were going to ask more questions, but every step they took closer to her, she took a step back. It was she was afraid of them. They could see it fear and confusion in her eyes. " I-I...I gotta go." As soon as she said that, she activated meteor and zoomed away, leaving Crime Sorciere shocked. What just happened?
Jellal whistled " I could see why she was confident on escaping. Man, she's fast. It's going to be pointless to chase her anymore. Besides, we got answers. She's not one of Zeref's."
" Let's just keep an eye out for her, from afar." Meredy suggested
" Makes sense."
"But almost everything about her doesn't." Ultear frowned. She was frustrated on how Lucy was so confusing despite being an ordinary Fairy Tail mage. " Her Second-origin was already opened. There was no need for me to make her stronger. She was already strong. There must be someone who trained her for her to improve that much."
" Sting Eucliffe, her fiancé from Sabertooth."
" He's a simpleton, Jellal. Nothing more than an arrogant Sabertooth bastard. There's nothing we can get from him. He was living these past seven years." Ultear reported
" Eh? I don't get it..." Meredy cocked her head to the side in confusion " I thought they were engaged because they're childhood friends, and according to the data we got, they were the same age. So let's say Lucy was 17 before The Tenroujima incident, then she's supposed to be 24 years old right now, but since everyone thought they died, and they stopped aging so the council got the right info of only 17 years old. And Sting's also supposed to be 24, but if you look at the data that was registered to the council, he's just 19 years old. Uh-Oh, Details are making me dizzy again..."
" Let me see!" Ultear pulled the papers from Meredy and started analyzing it. " He was here these past seven years with Sabertooth, but he's only 19 years old? He's lacking 5 years? He also stopped aging? Lucky youngsters!"
Meredy nodded, ignoring Ultear's latter comment " Nothing's wrong with his life. But it was written there that for a while his parents lost him, and he only came back seven years ago. He must be lost these past five years before the Tenrou incident."
At this, Jellal and Ultear stared at Meredy and her newfound information. What exactly happened to them these past seven years? This is really confusing, even for masterminds like them.
" Then where did he go those five years?" Jellal looked at his teammates who merely shrugged in response. That was the question they can't answer.
" How about paying them a visit?" Meredy suggested, but her idea was cut-off by Ultear who was reminiscing what happened with their previous encounter with Lucy Heartfilia " No, they wouldn't know."
" Eh? Don't tell me they're both brainwashed?"
Ultear shooked her head " I don't know about Sting, but I think Lucy's memory was hidden, then in order to have the past she lacked, she brainwashed herself. She made herself believe on the past she created, until she didn't even know which is the truth anymore."
" The Memory magic worked on her...which means someone hid her past with a strong containing spell before that. The true information is hidden deep in her head, so when you cast that spell..."
" Few memories flooded back. Although the spell was too weak to return everything else." Jellal answered " But it was able to make a crack on the lies she created within herself."
Ultear sighed. They were just looking for Zeref, and look what they found instead. She knew that they shouldn't bother with their personal life, but not knowing you past was so wrong. Nobody deserves it. Perhaps it was because of her terrible past why she's acting like this, but she can't let them by. They're going to know the truth. Still— " What have we gotten ourselves into?"
What I want to say is... Sting's a ghost. Not really.
I hope you understood their explanation though. If you didn't PM me and I'll explain it to you more specifically.
6 to 7 chapters more... Better hold on tight, guys. There's going to be a lot of uncovered secrets that I planned right from the start. If you saw mistakes on the plot on the first chapters, it wasn't a mistake at all. Try to read it again and find out what really happened. *wink wink*
Vea-chan O.o
