Acnologia's POV

As we were getting closer to the clearing Anna told me to meet her in I pulled this sweet little girl in my arms as close to me as possible. Every single time she coughed it broke my heart even more because it kept reminding me of the reason why we're meeting Anna in the first place... I don't really think I'm ready for what I have to do when I get there... One of the main reason why I'm terrified is because this sweet little girl holds my very soul... You see two years ago a group of dark mages wanted power and they though if they took control over me or got me to join them they could contain more power for themselves. So one night they broke into my little home and abducted my wife, daughter and myself. For three months they tried everything they could think of to get me to work for them, but nothing was working because my wife told me one night to stay strong for our daughter so that's what I did... I did what she asked me to do... So when they had enough of waiting for me to join them they took my wife and killed her right in front of me and when I was about to do something to them they knocked me back out and the next thing I know I'm in this room and I'm strapped down to this table, and I couldn't move.

That's when I smelt my daughter's scent in the same room as me my heart just stopped and it felt like I couldn't breath so looked all around me and that's when I spotted her on my right side. I saw that she was still knocked out and strapped to the table right next to mine. I tried everything I could to get out of these restrains so I could get to my little girl and get her out of here because I have no idea what they have planned for us. When someone came into the room they knocked me back out and did a forbidden spell that hasn't been done for over 2,000 years... They took my soul and tied it to my daughters soul... So from that day on I can't be three miles away from her or else I can't feel anything.. Like I become heartless or more accurately soulless... In the end I took them down and I got my daughter to safety; That what brings us to the now and days two weeks ago she got sick and I thought over time she would get better but I was wrong cause she kept getting worse and worse so I took her to the one person I trust right now and that would be Anna Heartfilia...

The moment she said that there wasn't anything that she could do for her because there wasn't enough Ethernano in the air or something like that I kinda spaced out for a couple of seconds after I heard her say that... It felt like my whole world was falling apart and it felt like my heart dropped to my stomach and I couldn't breath... I couldn't even move but the second Anna said that there was a way to save her life I felt my whole world light up again. The only thing is how... Anna said that she can open the Eclipse gate again and send her to a time where there is more Ethernano in the air just like she did with those dragon slayers but the thing is I can't go with her... I did ask her why I couldn't go with her and the only thing Anna said was the time line wouldn't be right. So that means I have to go the long way through time; When I got to the clearing and I saw Anna standing there in front of the Eclipse Gate and I got scared again...

" Acnologia are sure about this? " Anna asks with a lot concern in her voice

" If this is the only way to save her... Then I'll do anything for her " I say a little shaky and then I stared questioning if I want to do this but when she coughed again I knew I had to do this... I have to get my baby girl better some how and this is the only way to do it...

" Papa " My Sweet Little Girl mumbled while cuddling closer to me

" Yeah baby? " I whisper to her while rocking her back and forth trying to comfort her

" Papa I don't want to go " My Sweet Little Girl mumbled so I hug her closer to me and I buried my nose in her hair so that her scent can calm me down a little more

" I know my baby girl I know... But this the only way for you to get better " I whisper in her hair and after a couple of minutes I smelt and felt her crying so I quickly added " And I need you to get better for me "

" B-But you won't be coming with m-me p-p-papa " My Sweet Little Girl mumbled while crying a little harder and every tear that fell from her eyes kept breaking my heart even more

" Acnologia... I'm sorry but it's time " Anna says and when I look up at her the gate is opened " I know this isn't the way you wanted to do this... " Anna added

" Having to wait the long way to see her again... No this isn't how I wanted this go! " I say with so much sadness in my voice I was afraid I was going to break down and change my mind... So before that could happen I walked over to Anna and tried to hand my daughter over to her but she wouldn't let go of my arm " Baby you gotta to go with her " I say

" Nooooo... Please don't make me leave papa... I don't want to leave you " My Sweet Little Girl cried out but after a good 15 minutes we were able to get her to let go of me and Anna was holding her

" Before you go little one... You can't tell anyone what time you came from... " Anna says with a kind voice while looking down at my sweet little girl and I could tell she couldn't speak while crying so she just nodded her little head in agreement, then I had to watch Anna put the light of my life through that gate. Then the second the gate closed I started to feel nothing again and I know the next 417 years are going to be absolute hell for me...

? ? ?'s POV

When Anna walked through this big door thing she placed me on the ground and went back through that same door and I tried to stand up and follow her back to papa but I couldn't get up in time before that door thing closed and vanished into thin air... I then fell back to the ground crying for who knows how long I was also coughing every once in a while... I didn't know how long I was sitting there until I felt a hand on my back and I screamed as loud as I could but that went to me coughing that just ended up hurting my throat really badly...

" Hey hey your okay... I'm not going to hurt you " This short man said with a gentle tone that made me not be that scared anymore" Where are your parents child? " He added and I couldn't help but cry because before I left papa... Anna told me not to ever tell anyone where I came from... I didn't want to lie to him and I didn't know what to say to him either

" I... I... I don't k-know... " I say the only thing that came to mind and after a couple of minutes of silence I started coughing again

" Hey what's wrong with you? " The short man asked very gently

" I sick " I say after I got done with my coughing fit

" Why don't I take you to meet my friend... She's a doctor from my guild " The short man says with a small smile on his face

" What's a guild? " I ask while tilting my head to the side

" Its a place where mages can go to be accepted for who they are and a place where they can find jobs to make a living " The short man explained and the second he said the word mage I got scared again because the last time I was near a mage they hurt mama and papa they even hurt me too...

" Aren't all mages bad? " I ask with a shaky voice and with so much fear in it too

" Not all mages are bad... I promise you the guild that I run is full of good mages... We are the ones who stop those mages that turned bad " The short man says with so much kindness that made me believe what he was saying was the truth " So... Do you want me to take you to see my friend? " He adds with so much kindness that it made me smile for the first time since I left papa's side

" I would like that very much... But what your name? " I ask with a small smile

" My name is Makarov... Makarov Dreyar and what's your name child? " Makarov says/ asks with a kind smile...

" I'm Lucy... Lucy Apocalypse" I say with a small smile

" Well it's nice to meet you Lucy " Makarov says and I just nod my head in agreement with his statement and then he stands back up while extending his hand to me and it took me a couple of seconds before I took his hand and he helped me stand up with him. After that we walked in the direction of where his friend is...
