Hawk's Story: Fairy Tail

Chapter 36

After Laxus defeated Raven Tail they were disqualified from the tournament and taken into custody for questioning. That meant there was one match left. Wendy versus Lamia Scale's Chelia. Wendy was at an extreme disadvantage because Chelia turned out to be a God Slayer. Thankfully Wendy had become much more resilient because of her past experiences. She was able to drag out the fight into a draw, giving five more points went to Fairy Tail.

That night Fairy Tail was celebrating their excellent performance at the bar by drinking and breaking things. Hawk however was out looking for Jellal to make sure he didn't get into trouble after his incident. He had lost his mask and almost got taken into custody. "Damn, Seigrain sure is good at hiding." Hawk muttered to himself.

A figure appeared behind him. "Seigrain? One of Jellal's alias'." The person said to get Hawk's attention.

"Hey you're Kagura right?" Hawk asked.

"You said Seigrain. So, he is Jellal?" Kagura questioned.

"No, I just like to make fun of Mystogan." He smirked.

"You're lying. Tell me where Jellal is." She ordered.

"Look, I've never met Jellal. I only know Mystogan and he likes avoiding me."

"Fine. I will force you to tell me." She gripped her sword and swung it at blinding speed. In the blink of an eye Hawk's sword was drawn and Kagura's sword had been deflected out of her hands. "H-how?" Was all she managed to say. She was in shock since Hawk's sword was pressed against her throat.

"A real swordsman would never use a sword for hatred or revenge. A sword is meant to protect." He told her. He took a step back and sheathed his sword. "I don't know what your problem with Jellal is, but Mystogan and Jellal are different people. Learn to use your sword properly next time." He said walking away.

Kagura went and picked up her sword. "He doesn't understand."

Hawk kept walking until he came across some familiar faces. It wasn't Jellal, it was the Master, Laxus and Mavis. For some reason Mavis was crying. "Look what happens when we leave you alone with her." Hawk scolded.

"Oi shut up! Wait, you know how to deal with something like this! Do something!" Laxus shouted.

Hawk shrugged and walked over to Mavis. He knelt in front of her and put his hand on her shoulder. "It's okay. Those two are always wrong, so whatever they said you shouldn't worry about."

"You're supposed to make her feel better, not belittle us." Laxus growled.

"I'm not crying. Don't worry about me." Mavis said, trying not to cry.

"Do you need a hug?" Hawk asked.

"N-no."

"Are you sure?"

She was hesitant for a moment. "I guess I do."

Hawk gave her a hug and she calmed down. "Next time they upset you, just find me."

"I hate you so much." Laxus mumbled.

"Laxus my young grasshopper, you will never get anywhere in life if you continue the tough guy act." Hawk told him.

"Why don't you just go away?"

"So how'd you make her cry?" Hawk whispered to Laxus. Makarov was talking to Mavis, so he knew he could ask.

"The Lumen Histoire thing."

"You mean that thing in the basement?" Hawk asked, gaining the attention of Makarov and Mavis.

"You've seen it?" Makarov shouted.

"N-not exactly." Hawk said nervously.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Let me start from the beginning." Hawk said. He explained that during his Ten-Year Quest he came across a library. The library where he fought Master Hades with Marcus and Mystogan. He told them he found a book titled 'Lumen Histoire', but he didn't really understand all of what the book said.

"So, you read it?" Mavis asked.

"Not all of it." Hawk answered.

"Then you know it is in fact the light of Fairy Tail?" Mavis asked.

"From what I gathered, yes it is." Hawk said.

"First Master, why have I never heard of this book?" Makarov asked.

"It is a book with one copy. It's hand written and was placed in a hidden library with many books that were never meant to be found again." Mavis explained.

"Like what?" Laxus asked.

"The Book of Zeref Volumes." Hawk answered.

"Hawk, how did you find the library?" Mavis asked.

"Some weird guy told me." He answered.

"Do you know who he is?"

"Only that his name is Ghiller and that he is terrifyingly powerful.

That name immediately grabbed Mavis' attention. "I see. Why don't you two head back to the hotel and have fun."

"I'm kinda busy right now." Hawk said.

"Just come on." Laxus said, not believing him.

"Why don't you make me?" He taunted.

"Fine. Hey Gramps, you wanna know what Hawk gave to Cana?" Laxus called to Makarov.

"Let's go back to the Hotel!" Hawk declared, grabbing Laxus by the jacket and running towards the hotel.

Makarov and Mavis heard them yelling as they ran into the distance. "Third Master, what can you tell me about that young man?" Mavis asked in a serious tone.

"Hawk? He a standard S-Class Wizard. Strong and reliable. He loves the guild and everyone in it. He's also in love with Cana." Makarov told her.

"What do you know about his past?"

"His family was killed by Acnologia. I found him later that day." He said. He thought for a moment and realized something. "Other than that, all I really know is he was a mercenary trained in the way of the sword."

"It's strange. When he hugged me, I could sense his heart was pure. However, there is an ominous power deep within him. One that I don't think he's aware of."

"What kind of ominous power?"

"It felt dark and cold. Like Zeref's magic."

Flashes of Hawk with various members of the guild went through Makarov's head. Hawk was smiling with everyone. "How could that boy have power like that and I not notice it?"

"I don't think you should worry about it now. Remember I said he has a pure heart." She reassured.

"You did say that. Then that's what I'll believe."

"I have one other question. What do you know about that man, Ghiller?"

"Just what Hades told me."

"And that is?"

Makarov sighed.

Flashback

Hades stopped Makarov before he could leave. "Kill me now, or this will happen again." He told Makarov.

"I will not sink to your level. You can come at us as many times as you want and the result will always be the same."

Hades sighed. "And I was so close to obtaining the One Magic. Remember Makarov, true magic power is born from darkness."

"That's where you're wrong. There is darkness in magic, but magic changes with each era. Magic comes from the desire to protect one's comrades. It also comes from the desire for power. But you can't obtain true power because you strayed from the path of reason."

Hades went silent and Makarov began to take his leave, when Hades stopped him again. "Makarov, tell the Mercenary Brat that if he crosses paths with Ghiller again...he will die."

End Flashback

"I don't know if I should believe him." Makarov said.

"I'm sorry Third Master, but it's the truth." Mavis told him.

"How do you know?"

"Because we should have stopped Ghiller when we had the chance."

"Why, who is he?"

"They only way I can think to describe him is..." She took a deep breath to calm her nerves. "He's a monster."
