A week Later
Lin sat at his table in the back of the guild when Erza walked up to him.
"I challenge you." Erza said when she walked up to him. This caused the rest of the guild to stop what they were doing. There was a collective scream of what from the guild as Lin just looked at her.
"Sure I could use a little exorcise." Lin said. Lin stood up and walked in front of Erza and put his hand on her shoulder and said "By the power of the Keeper, I hereby grant you access to Roma."
Lin walked out behind the guild and waited for Erza.
Erza had no idea what just happened. What did he mean he grants me access to Roma. What is Roma? Erza thought as she followed Lin.
Lin saw Erza come out of the guild and waited for her.
"You probably have questions about what I did before we came out here." Lin said
"Yes, What did you mean when you said you granted me access to Roma? What is Roma?" Erza asked
"In order for me to get you to Roma without the keeper killing you I had to grant you access. Roma is an alternate dimension kinda, It's my "Pocket dimension"" Lin said
"Would you like to see it?" Lin asked
"From this day till the end of nights, My heart beats as one with my sword, The hate burn to ash in my heart and love of my heart, edge of my blade and spine, the everlasting flame of hatred and war turns into steel and metal used by war, the Oaths of this world turn ablaze, Now rise as his everlasting flame burst into steel and burn us with war. We dance in immortal flames of battle as we are re-taken and judged by our very souls, immortal flame now it turns to sorrow. Awaken Porte di Roma, Reclaimed." Lin said.
Erza and Lin stood in a wasteland covered in weapons. Erza looked around in awe. The wasteland seemed to go on forever.
"This is Roma. I brought you here because I want to talk to you" Lin said sitting on the ground leaning against a giant sword. Erza sat down across from him.
"Do you know where the tower of heaven is?" Lin asked Erza while looking at the ground
"How do you know about that place?" Erza asked getting angry
"I was a slave there Red. I made a big speech about rising up and fight our captors after I killed a couple of guards. I'm the reason you got out remember." Lin said
Erza stared at him thinking back.
Flashback
Erza fell over from exhaustion. Two guards came over with whips and started hitting her. A boy her age come running up and kills a guard with a pickaxe. The other guard turns toward him and starts to pull the whip back to hit him. He pulls the pickaxe out of the first guard and stabs it in to the other guards stomach, and then he swings it into his head.
"People Listen to me. We need to rise up and Fight for our freedom. The guards are nothing. They can be killed easily. If you don't think you can take the life of one then remember everything they took from us. Our friends, our family, our freedom. We need to fight. Now is the only chance we'll get" The boy said. The people who heard him shouted in agreement and the rebellion started.
Flashback end
Flashback
Rob stood in front of the fire blast. When the blast ended he fell and died. Erza fell to her knees and started crying.
"Hey, Red we need to get out of here. Don't let the old man's sacrifice be in vain. You need to live on to continue his memory. If you die here you will dishonor his memory and he will have died for nothing." Lin said
Erza nodded and stood up. She followed Lin through the tower and toward the dock.
"Wait, We can't leave Jellal." Erza said
"Fine. I'll get him. Just get on a boat and stay down. If I'm not back in ten minutes leave." Lin said running back into the tower. The ten minutes pass and Erza leaves the tower.
Flashback end
"I remember now." Erza said to Lin
"Do you know where the tower is?" Lin asked. Erza shook her head.
"Erza before we go back there's something I need to tell you, but you can't tell anyone else. The master already knows." Lin said
"What?" Erza asked
"I was the leader of Serpent's sword." Lin said "To the world I was the Wolf."
Erza stared at him dumbfounded.
He was the master of Serpent's sword. Erza thought
"Before you say anything the people who I killed hurt my guild mates before they arrived at the guild. It's actually what lead most to me." Lin said
"There's one more thing I would Like to ask you before I close this Erza." Lin said getting a slight blush
"What?" Erza asked
"Would you like to go on a date with me?" Lin asked sheepishly
"W-Wha-what?" Erza said her face turning as red as her face.
"Sorry, I shouldn't have asked." Lin said getting ready to close the Porte Di Roma.
"I would like that." Erza said kissing Lin on the cheek.
