Demonic Flame: Eilenoise's Backstory
A side story
This is the backstory of the character known as; Eilenoise, a member of the dark guild 'Demonic Flame' that was founded by the long-running antagonist; Taskimada Dragnela. How she became to be, her relations with Fairy Tail's First Master; Mavis Vermilion, and all that. This was requested by a good friend of mine that asked about her relations to Mavis so I decided it'd be fun for everyone and clear some confusion up from the last chapter. I hope you enjoy, Eilenoise's Backstory.
Her Birthday: X673
...
Year X686
...
Cold, starving, alone and afraid, the small brown haired girl wandered aimlessly throughout the dark woods, the cold wind moving through the tree branches, the half moon, her only light that guided her. The coldness was especially hard on her considering the short, moth-eaten dress was her only source of clothing, she was barefooted, constantly walking in puddles of dirty water or fresh mud. She had managed to slip out from underneath the watchful eyes of the people who enslaved her village for their own personal gain.
They came before she was even born.
The day when such peaceful and quiet village turned into something chaotic. Yells, screams and cries could've been heard day after day. All that they've known and feared, the chaos around them will ways be there.
The people who took over her village didn't name themselves either but they were made of of a large group of men wielding swords and axes, charging at the villagers that only had mere pitchforks and torches to defend themselves and their children. But, they failed miserably and we're forced to do as they were told.
The men were forced to grow and harvest crops in the hot sun without a shirt on. The men would always be beaten with whips and something called a 'Cat O' Nine Tails' if they were to disobey, sack off or talk out of line. The wounds and cuts on their backs burned and ached terribly as the harsh and scorching sunlight hit their uncleaned wounds, some of them would have infections from the cuts that resulted into them turning different shades of yellow and purple. The men would have to resort to using certain types of leaves and brewing them in hot water they used over a fire instead of the regular medicine that the people who took over had.
The men were also forced to go mining for the mystical ore known as the 'Lacrima'. The men thought that it was foolish and it was just simply a folktale, magic didn't exist.
Nor do fairies, mermaids, elves and dwarves. The males of the village still had to do it, and every time they'd come back empty-handed, punishment awaited at their doorstep since all the male slaves lived together in one area, separated from their wives and children.
The women of the village were forced to clean, cook and sew together rags to make clothes for everyone, twenty-four hours, seven days a week. They'd use the harvested crops from the men like corn, carrots, rice and sugarcane mostly. The women had to go slaughter animals if one of the superiors wanted meat, if they were to protest or disobey, they wouldn't get beaten with anything. Instead, they got sexually assaulted every time, almost everyday for no reason. If they were to fight back against the men, the women would get abused by getting their hair pulled roughly, getting their head sammed against a wall or ground, bites and lashes.
The women also got diseases from these assaults and would've been executed if anyone found out or died by the disease itself. Some of the women conceived children from the men whether they wanted it or not but they were able to bare their offspring in comfort. Aftef birth, the children would be taken away from their Mothers and into a separate group where they learned how to talk, read and write up until five years were they were put out to work jobs like cleaning or cooking. If they were to do something wrong, they'd be heavily scolded and lost me privileges for days until they learned their lesson, that is if they hadn't died yet.
She was one of the children that survived and placed to go clean with some of the other children, the other kids did have each other's back while they grew up around the age of ten years before they had go split into their gender-ideal group.
But the small girl didn't have anybody for her.
It was her red eyes that frightened them. Nobody else in the village had those, only different shades of brown and some blue. She was the only one with red eyes, they called her 'The Cursed Child' and repeatedly made fun of her, whenever the young children got into trouble, they'd always blame it on the small brunette, giving her their punishment instead.
The small girl had enough of the torture and slavery, she snuck out in the middle of the night while everyone was sleeping. She had a very small like structure that made her slip through small and tight spaces in order for her to escape without any noises and left without anyone noticing. Usually, when one if the Superiors noticed anyone gone, they go out and search for them and bring them back no matter what age they were, they'd get a hefty punishment that would last them for weeks and scars that would last for years.
The brown haired girl managed to get through the night when she escaped, going underneath a shady tree and taking its leaves as a source of warmth and scavenged acorns and wild berries she rarely found. It was the next day since she escaped, she saw no signs of any Superiors looking for her which was good. Maybe they thought she wasn't important? She was glad that she wasn't!
Freedom! At last!
The small girl came upon a small lake that was hidden behind vines, a deer lapping at the water quietly as fireflies flew around the area, the light radiating off their bodies made the water shimmer beautifully. Her red eyes lit up with excitement, it was so magical!
Never before had she'd seen such beauty in Nature. The brown haired girl quietly went further into the area, trying not to scare off any of the fireflies or the deer.
The gentle animal stopped lapping at the crystal clear water with its tongue, looking up the brunette with a slightly titled head. She was about to go closer to it until she heard someone's voice in the distance. Alarmed and frightened, she hid behind one of the trees located in the oasis and kept quiet, the voice became louder with every passing moment. The person ran through the vines, the only sounds were heard was cries and loud sobs.
Who was crying?
The brunette peaked from behind the tree, seeing a girl with long, pale blonde hair that reached her ankles. Her hands covering her face, the peculiar girl was wearing a frilly, pink layered robe with a red ribbon tied in a bow around her neck. Around the chest were three blue diamond patterns with two blue triangles above. Each series of these is outlined in a hot pink. The girl also wore wing-like adornments around her ears and she appears to be barefooted.
The blonde removed her hands from her face, revealing her large green eyes that were filled with tears and they also had no pupils in them. The small girl gasped.
An abnormal eye-colour? Like her? Nobody in her village had that kind of eyes, maybe she was an outcast like her!
She took one step in front of her, accidentally stepping on a pile of dried up leaves, she let out a little squeak as she hid behind the tree once again. Her heart racing, tears in her eyes, hoping that the blonde girl did not hear her.
"W-who's there?"
The brunette gasped, covering her mouth.
"I heard you, you can come out... I won't hurt you..."
Was it safe? Could she trust her? What if it was one of the people from the village?
No, can't be. They wouldn't let people who different from then live...
Maybe she was friendly? She looked around the same age as her too.
The small girl swallowed the saliva that was built up in her mouth and slowly stepped from behind the tree, revealing herself to the blonde girl. She inched closer and closer to her until she was a few feet away.
"H-hello... I didn't mean to eavesdrop, I just saw this water here and there was a... Those animals, that has spots on them... What's it called...?-"
"A deer?"
"I think so..." The brunette scratched behind her head, "Why were you crying?"
The blonde slight bend her head, "My friend... She's gone..."
"A friend? What's a friend? Is it a person? If so, I'm sorry..."
"A friend is someone you hold dear... My friend, her name was Zera and she's gone!" The blonde covered her eyes as more sobs escaped her lips, her tears falling on the ground. The brunette didn't know what to do in this situation, she was crying... What was she supposed to do?
She moved a bit closer to the crying girl, "Don't cry... Um... Please don't? Stop crying, please? Your friend will be back, I'm sure..."
That made the blonde cry even more and louder too. The small brunette panicked, reaching out to her hesitantly with a shaky hand. She placed her small hand on top of the blonde's head, stroking the top of it gently. Her sobs died down and she removed her hands from her face, looking at her.
"What's your name..?"
The brunette frowned, "Name? I don't think I have one."
"Well my name is Mavis Vermilion," Mavis smiled softly at her, wiping away the tears in her eyes, "I'll think of a name for you."
"Um, M-Mavis... I can be your friend if you want..."
"Really?" Mavis couldn't help but notice her dirty brown hair that was tied in two pigtails with... Vines? Where did this unnamed girl even come from?
"Are those vines in your hair?"
The small brown haired girl blushed out of embarrassment, putting her hands on her head, "M-my hair was making it hard for me to get food since it always got stuck in branches and bushes... S-so I tied it up with vines I found from a tree... Does it bother y-you?"
"No, no, actually... Zera's hair was in pigtails tied up with red bows," Tears formed in her eyes again, "I miss her..."
"Do I look like Zera?"
Mavis took another look at her from head to toe, looking at her battered and ripped clothing to the bruises and dirt on her porcelain-like skin. She stopped at her eyes, they were intriguing. Red eyes...
Just like someone she knew.
"Kind of. Zera doesn't have red eyes..."
Tears pooled up in the brunette's eyes, "My eyes are weird, aren't they?"
"No, no!" Mavis waved her hands, shaking her head, "They're unique, different from everyone else. Just like me, I have green eyes but I don't have pupils like you do."
"So we're both 'unique'?"
"Yep!" Mavis beamed, "I'll take you back to my rest of friends!"
She gasped, "There's more of these 'friends'?!"
"Come on, let's go!"
...
They were inside a large building that had two floors that had stairs at both sides leading upstairs. There was a banner with a symbol that looked like some kind of fairy shooting an arrow from the brunette's perspective. There were wooden benches and chairs too, there was young man with blonde hair and green eyes sitting on one of benches, he donned a black turtleneck, over the top of which he wore a leather jacket with a folded, fur-trimmed collar and breast pockets on either side. He also wore simple pants with frayed hems and plain black shoes. He raised an thick eyebrow at the two girls.
"So... You escaped from your village, fell off a cliff and into the water where you washed up on the island and survived on wild berries? You're a tough kid, surprised you made it this far."
"I can't believe you sent through all that!" Mavis exclaimed, "You're safe here, right Yuri?"
"Yeah," Yuri gave a smile, *What's your name, little girl?"
The brunette was about to talk but was interrupted by Mavis, "She doesn't have one."
"Damn, back at the village, they didn't even name you? We need to come up with a name for ya'. How's that?"
"That'd be nice..."
"What do you think her name should be, Mavis?"
Mavis pondered on that question for a while before answering, "Zoe? Zenna? Um... Marylin? Crystal? I dunno, actually."
Mavis faced a man that was sitting next to Yuri with his arms folded. His hair was a dark blonde likd Yuri's and slicked back. He wore a light gray, long sleeved shirt along with a cape that was a lighter colour that was held up by black shoulder padding with a golden outline going around it on both shoulders. The shirt he wore also had golden outlines, he sported a black pants along with boots with a black eyepatch over his left eye.
"What do you think we should name her, Precht?" She asked.
Precht shrugged his shoulders, "I don't have the slightest clue. Eile? Maybe? I have no idea."
The brunette seemed to have brightened up at that name, "I-I like Eile..."
Mavis nodded her head with a large smile, "Then that settles it! Your name is Eile!"
"U-um, Mavis, where are we anyways?"
Mavis spread her arms out, "We're in Fairy Tail! A place where you belong! We're trying to find out if fairies actually exist and see if they have Tails it not! My Mother read me a fairytale about them once when I was younger, ever since, I believed in them!"
"So that's why you named it 'Fairy Tail' with a tail of an animal! That's nice!"
"Isn't it!? I'm so clever!~"
"Ahh, I hope we find the fairies! I believe in them too!"
"YOU DO?! EILE, THAT'S GREAT!"
"Yay!"
Yuri chuckled, nudging Precht on his arm, "They're so noisy. Imagine if her name was Eile-NOISE."
"Heh, I wonder if it actually was like that," He joked, "Mavis and her do make a lot of noise. I think Eilenoise suits her."
Mavis gasped in surprise, hearing their conversation, "That should be her name! Eilenoise!"
The two men sweatdropped, "T-that was a j-"
Mavis hugged the brunette, "Your name's Eilenoise now! Welcome aboard Fairy Tail, Eilenoise!"
...
"You like him!"
"Shhh, not so loud!~"
"So who's Arius guy anyways?" Eilenoise pyred, going closer the flustered blonde.
The two girls were sitting in the forest in the place where Mavis found Eilenoise. They sat by the small body of water, their barefooted feet occasionally splashing around in it. The blonde blushed, looking away from her with a childish pout.
"H-He thought me Magic... Like, Dark Magic."
"YOU KNOW MAGIC?!" The brunette exclaimed, jumping unto her feet with wide-eyes. Mavis raised a blonde eyebrow at her before smiling, standing up with her. Eilenoise jumped for joy, squealing and screaming in happiness.
"Can you teach me?!"
"Dark Magic?"
Eilenoise nodded quickly, "Yeah!"
Mavis shook her head, "No!"
"But I wannnnaaaa!"
"Dark Magic is extremely dangerous and difficult to master, I doubt I'll ve clear to teach you properly, too. I don't want you getting hurt, Eile. We should try something else instead."
"Miooooo, you're so mean~" Eilenoise pouted like a little girl, crossing her arms over her small chest.
"I can show you a different kind of Magic!"
Eilenoise raised an eyebrow, seeming interested in what she had to say. Mavis turned away from her as a golden aura surrounded the blonde girl's body, suddenly, a golden brown deer formed out of thin air, it was transparent and had the same golden aura around its body. Mavis moved out of the way so that Eilenoise could see.
"A deer!" The brunette smiled brightly, "You created that?!"
"I can control it as well!" Mavis led one of her hands towards Eilenoise, the deer followed the way her hand was directing at. The deer stood in front of the brown haired girl and nudged her hand with it's nose. Eilenoise moved her hand to pet the deer.
"I-Is this Illusion Magic that I heard Yuri talking about the oth-"
"No, don't!" But it was already too late, the deer had vanished. Eilenoise shyed down, wondering if she had to do with the disappearance of the deer.
"When you realize it's an Illusion, it disappears. But you seemed to like it, do you want learn?"
"Of course!"
...
After days and weeks of teaching Eilenoise the basics of Illusion Magic, she finally understood what it meant. First learning to create plants then small animes like bunnies and birds then stepped up to larger animals then to humans and buildings. She was practicing day and night, barely getting any sleep. She wanted to impress Mavis to and extent where she might get up to S-Class rank at the Fairy Tail guild. She wanted to receive praise from the teacher she looked up to like a long lost soul sister.
As she walked into the guild, feeling relatively happy, she found sad and crying faces. Not something that Fairy Tail would be like at all. She walked up to the blonde man that was sulking in his chair, Eilenoise tapped him on the shoulder.
"Yuriiiii? Why are you guys all sad? Better question..." The brunette looked around, "Where's Mio?"
"Mavis...S-she... We looked everywhere... We couldn't find her, we didn't know where she went..."
Eilenoise gasped, her eyes going wide, "W-what do you mean by that..? Where's Mavis?! WHERE IS SHE?!"
"She left..."
Eilenoise backed away from him, shaking her head as she pulled on her long, wavy brown hair, "No... You're lying..."
"Mavis..."
"MAVISSSSSS!" Eilenoise ran out of the guild despite the calls from her guild members, Mavis would be in woods where they always hung out, right! She couldn't possibly leave! Not after everything she's been through with everyone... She wouldn't leave unless she had a good reason to!
Upon arriving in the forest, she looked left and right but no sign of Mavis, she ran quickly to the place where the small body of water laid. Once she did, no fresh footprints, the water was still with dried up brown leaves piling up on top of it. Eilenoise shook her head constantly, refusing to believe what Yuri said.
Why would she just up and leave...?
The brunette collapsed to the ground, pulling at her hair as she screamed loudly up to the heavens above, the tears going rapidly down her cheeks, down her neck and into her clothes. Her barefooted feet were bruised and had dirt all over them, her toes curled and she screamed and cried out for Mavis to come back. Hoping that her voice will somehow reach her.
"Mavis..." She hunched over, her hands covering her face, "My f-first friend... Why did you leave..? Did you choose Arius over your guild? Over me? Why did you... I miss you so much... Your pale hair and green eyes, barefooted feet... I even picked up that habit..."
"WHY DIDN'T YOU CHOOSE ME?! I WOULD'VE CHOSEN YOU, WHY COULDN'T YOU DO THE SAME?! Mavis... Mio-chan... My... Friend..."
"Why did you leave...?"
...
The end of the year was drawing near, nobody saw Mavis of heard anything from her. No traces of her were found no matter how far and wide they looked. Eilenoise couldn't bare with it, she started to go to the guild rarely, taking long missions just to distract herself. While she was away, she heard that Yuri's wife; Rita, died and that could've been the reason why Mavis left since they said that she thought it was her fault when the baby; Makarov, was born. That was the last time anybody ever saw Mavis again.
Returning to the guild with heavy bags on her back, ready to take another mission until she saw a man with pitch black hair throw something on the ground that looked like a person, Yuri was standing before him. Eilenoise squinted her eyes slightly to try and make out what the mysterious man had thrown on the floor.
She caught a glimpse at pale blonde hair.
Only one person had that...
Eilenoise stopped abruptly, dropping all of the heavy bags as her red eyes glared at the man. Her hands clenched Into fists, her nails digging into her skin that led blood to drip from the cracks.
She took fast steps, then full out charging at the man without making any sounds. The blonde haired man saw this, shaking his head and hands at her, attempting to make her stop but it didn't work. The black haired man turned around to see what Yuri was so worried about, seeing a woman with long, wavy brown hair that reached her waist, charging at him with piercing red eyes.
He simply moved out of the way when she aimed a punch directly to his face.
"I'LL KILL YOU!"
She was about to charge again but this time, Yuri held her back by her arms. Eilenoise struggled out of his gripa and thrashed violently against him, screaming and yelling profanities at the unknown man.
"I SWEAR TO GOD THAT I WILL KILL YOU! WHAT DID YOU TO MAVIS?! ALMOST A WHOLE GODDAMNED YEAR AND I SEE HER LIKE THIS?! THE HELL DID YOU DO?!"
The black haired man frowned, "I'm sorry, young woman. Mavis won't be waking up again."
"YOU SON OF A BITCH!" Eilenoise escaped Yuri's grip, going for the black haired man once again.
"No, you must stay away from me!"
STAY AWAY?! I'LL KILL YOU!"
The black haired man shied away from her, a black aura came off of him, every plant in sight withered and died. Eilenoise was unfortunately hit by the blast, she was sent flying into Yuri, black circles underneath her eyes as her body shaked and shuddered uncontrollably.
The black haired man sighed, "I warned you..."
"EILENOISE? EILENOISE!"
"CAN YOU HEAR ME? EILENOISE?!"
"YURI?!"
"YOU GUYS!"
...
...
The brown haired woman was unconscious for weeks, staying at the guild's Infirmary, being taken care of some of the guild members. When she finally woke up, the guild was rejoicing for her awakening. Eilenoise surprised everyone when she said she wanted to leave immediately, she said she needed to get home.
And here she was, standing in a puddle of her own blood that leaked from her neck, the kitchen knife in her hands.
"Why am I not dead...?"
Was she insane?
She created a slit in her throat, an attempt to commit suicide. Wasn't she supposed to die? The pain was there and it lingered for some time but that didn't seem to have bothered her as much as her ability of not being able to die.
"No... no, no, no, no, no! I don't want this! I want to be with Mavis!" She cried, taking the same knife and stabbing it into her chest, directly into her heart. She let out a silent hiccup, blood going down her chin that came from her open mouth.
"Why?!"
Eilenoise threw the knife on the ground, "WHAT IS THIS?! WHY CAN'T I DIE?!"
Maybe she was cursed...
...
A few weeks later after getting medical treatment for her wounds, medical staff were baffled and amazed that she didn't die. They kept her in the hospital for months, Yuri and the other occasionally checking up on her and bringing the baby along to comfort any sad thoughts she had too. Eilenoise felt like she was driven to madness, everyday was a nightmare. Everytime she closed her eyes, she would see Mavis's face, the way her blonde hair flowed in the wind, her green and pupil-less eyes would always brightened when she smiled.
The Doctors attempted to put hospital shoes on her but she always said no or had mental breakdown when they would try and force them unto her. Mavis was always barefooted and from being around her so much made Eilenoise pick up the habit of not wearing shoes.
After she was out of the hospital, she had plenty of time to read up about that mysterious man that had Mavis.
His name was Aruis; The Black Wizard.
He is said to have been the darkest, most evil Mage in the history of the Magic World, mastering the Black Arts and creating many Demons, some of which still wreak havoc in the present. She had to wonder, this is the person that Mavis was so bashful and fond about?
Eilenoise then found old and dusty books about a curse named; 'Ankbseram' and the wore she read and read about it, the more her mind got warped. Eventually, the madness have driven her to a state that we could no longer partake in the guild anymore, she didn't want to burden her fellow guild members and so, she left and never looked back, the Fairy Tail guild mark tht was adorned on her chest disappeared the moment she said goodbye.
But before she did, she had studied a Lost Magic called, 'Arc of Illusion'. She could only get a rarity of books that specialized in that but tried to best she can. She wanted to make Mavis proud, despite everything that had haplened, she thought that Mavis was always looking down on her and seeing her accomplishments. After she spent countless months of studying and Mastering the arts of it, she burned all of the books after to make sure that nobody could ever use or learn that type of Lost Magic.
Then, she left society and isolated herself deep within a Forest that was away from everyone. She stayed there without any food or water, thinking that she didn't do those things that it'd make her body die.
She wanted death badly that she craved it...
Dark circles remained underneath her red eyes, looking tired and sleepy.
Its been years since she's been wandering around aimlessly in this forest, she never left once. Her body didn't age at all but she became extremely skinny and dehydrated. She thought that if she was so skinny, she could throw herself off of cliffs and moutain tops and tried her beat to kill herself but she failed. Her broken bones and bruises healed over time and the cycle was never-ending.
She felt miserable every second of the passing day.
She felt like a empty and hollow shell to her usually loud and bubbly self.
The brown hairs girl didn't even like hearing her own name; Eilenoise. Not after all that had happened, she'd break down in tears and cry her eyes out every time she remembered Mavis or the life she use to have. She always knew she was a cursed child...
Animals that dared to go near her died, including predators like wolves or wild dogs that were looking for food. Hunters and hikers that saw her and tried to help her, giving her water and food that they brought along for their trip, she would always deny it, but they died when they pryed more. Some just being away from her and dying within her radius. The ecosystem died around her, the plants and tress withering as turning black as midnight.
She wasn't able to feel the emotions she could before, not sadness, anger, happiness. She didn't value or feel like there was any point in caring about life. She lost her humanity to the hands of madness and insanity.
This went on for decades and decades, she lost track of how long she's been alive.
Her friends at guild were probably dead by now.
It didn't matter.
She didn't care anymore.
Eilenoise thought that Humanity was the worst thing on this planet, this world was the worst thing in this universe and galaxy.
She didn't bother...
Why care anyways?
...
A Century and a decade later.
...
"Oi, you."
The brown haired woman looked up to see a woman with straight, white hair that reached her neck. The only reason she acknowledged her was because of her eyes, they were red like hers.
"Are you the one killing all the people?" The woman tisked, "A small and fragile woman like yourself? Why did Taskimada do this to me...? Making me come up to see what all the fuss is about."
"Woman..." Eilenoise let out a raspy whisper, "You must stay far away from me. Don't you dare take another step."
"Ho? Is that so? Wanna try and stop me?"
"I beg of you, leave me alone."
"I came here to see what the fuss and commotion was about, and that so I shall."
"You disgusting human..." Eilenoise growled, her red eyes narrowing, "I'm warning you..."
"Aren't you human too? Oh, wait, are you one of those people who think that they're the top of the World?" The white haired woman laughed, "Darling, you're funny."
"Go home, turn back and go home..."
"Nah."
"Human..."
"So listen, lady, how did you kill all these people?" The white haired woman pointed to all of the skeletons surrounding her that has their backpacks laid next to them, their clothes remained. The plants that surrounded her were withered, she sat underneath a withered an leafless tree that was crooked and twisted in all directions.
"You got some skill. Killing people just like that without weapons, how do you do it? That must be some gift you have."
Eilenoise flinched, bending her head, "This is not a gift... Not even in the slightest, this is a terrible curse I have in my possession."
"A curse? What, a witch did witchcraft on you or somethin'?" The white haired joked, expecting at least a chuckle but only got cold and dead eyes staring at her.
"The Ankbseram curse is nothing to joke about, woman."
"But that curse is just a fairytale! Are you saying that it's real?"
"Indeed it is... I've lived for countless years, probably over a century by now... Because of this damned curse..."
Eilenoise narrowed her eyes, "You think this is a gift? You have no idea what pain I've went through, all the suffering and torment... I will give you one last chance... Leave, or I'll make you leave myself, you won't just be walking away..."
The white haired woman nodded to herself, smirking smugly, "Yes, yes indeed. This is why he wanted you. So here's the thing, My Master sent me here to recruit you as a member of the Demonic Flame Guild since this supposed curse is like a killing machine."
"Tell you what, if you come and join me then you don't have to suffer and be in torment anymore. I've read about this curse in books, you probably feel alone since everything around you dies." The white haired woman smiled, "Name's Minami Futakowa, and you are?"
Eilenoise stared at her for a while before answering softly, "E-Eilenoise..."
"Eilenoise? That's a strange name. Who have you that name?'
"A friend of mine..." Tears pooled up in the brown haired woman's eyes, "Mavis-san..."
Minami gasped, "Mavis? I heard that name before..." She snapped her fingers, "Ah, yes! Mavis Vermilion, the First Master of the Fairy Tail guild... But if you know about that and myself as a great hacker had to look everywhere for it then you must be the real deal..."
"A hacker? What is that? And how did you acquire knowledge of Mavis?"
Minami sighed, "You have no idea what technology is, do you?"
"Techno... What?"
"Just come with me." The white haired woman extended her hand out, gesturing Eilenoise to grasp it within her small and weak hand.
"You'll die."
"I won't."
"I can kill you with the curse."
"That's a risk I'm willing to take."
"You'll suffer if you get hit by the curse."
Minami grunted, "Just take my hand already! We'll be safe at the guild."
'You're safe here!' Eilenoise hesitated before reaching out her skinny hand and placing it into Minami's warm one.
"Let's go home, Eilenoise-sensei."
...
The day before the Invasion of Fairy Tail
Demonic Flame Guild
...
The brown haired woman stood at the balcony of the guild, her long hair blowing in the wind. Her red eyes seemed to have worry in them as fuffow buried itself between her eyebrows.
"Mavis, I hope you can forgive me... I'll let them off easy by trapping them inside an illusion and make them think that they died... It'll be good, I'm not actually hurting anyone... Right?"
"I'm doing this for your sake... I would never kill any of them..."
Eilenoise smiled gently, "We still have to go find the fairies together... I was thinking if waiting this guild and rejoining Fairy Tail... Would that be good? I think it might..."
"Eile?" A voice called out from inside the guild. Eilenoise turned around to see a white haired woman standing there before her.
"It's almost time to leave."
"I know..."
Minami smiled, "You'll do great tomorrow, I know it."
"Y-yeah..."
"Come on, we don't want to keep Master Taskimada waiting."
...
...
Staring at the blonde who laid unconscious before her, Eilenoise couldn't help but feel peace in her last moments, finally, her sweet death came to her. Decades of torment and suffering finally came to an end in the hands of a Celestial Assassin. Perhaps, people didn't forget Magic after all...
She was glad for at least that...
The brown haired woman closed her eyes, seeing a pale blonde haired girl standing in a field if golden grass, wiggling dr barefooted toes as she smiled at Eilenoise.
"Nice to see you again, Eile."
"You too Mio-chan..."
This was SUPPOSED to be a short chapter but it wasn't.
This was actually fun to write and I even did a drawing of Eilenoise using her Illusion Magic!
And Aruis is basically an alternative to Zeref. But see, me and my dumbass decided to go out Zeref as Crystal's brother and I couldn't go back on if. This story was not planned for the few beginning chapters, looking back on it now, I kinda wished that I could've thought it out more thoroughly. But what's done is done.
And get it? Mio? The alternative Mavis for the last chapter of Fairy Tail that Mashima wrote. I thought it would be nice just to had that in as a nickname for Mavis!
And Eilenoise's name. The 'Eile' part actually came from the game, 'The Last of Us' and there's a character named Eile. 'Noise' because in the earlier stages of sketching Eilenoise, she was supposed to had like a stuck up personality with pigtails held by ribbons. Her eyes were supposed to be blue and stuff too. I thought putting the two together would've sounded fancy XD. BJG HOOE YOU ENJOYED!
