His head was not clearer, if possible it was more claustrophobic a headache forming, so when Lucy approached him he was not ready to face her.
"Are you ready to tell me now what is wrong with you Natsu? We are all worried" her voice was worried but it only added to his already growing problem.
"I'm fine Luce. It's nothing to worry about" he tried to consol but to whom, the lady or himself he was unsure of. Dark spots were already entering his vision, but he tried to hold on to reality.
"Really flame brain, cause it doesn't look like it" It vaguely sounded like Gray and he felt his body weighting him down, buy he desperately hold on. The fatigue from the fight with the Gray smell alike was finally catching up with his headache.
"Shut up Gray" he snapped, voice irritated.
"Oh. Not striper or ice princess? Bow definitely something is wrong" Erza was observant you have to give her that. She knew for a long time that Natsu was hiding something and now was her chance to find out.
"I told you, nothing is wrong" seeing Natsu cornered Gajeel decided to step forward before any incident could occur. Stressed salamander was not good for anyone. And by the facial expressions Natsu looked quite panicking, so without further wait he moved across and cut in.
"Stop questioning him. Everyone of you have secrets, even you. If he doesn't want to tell you he doesn't have to." The iron slayer said diverting the attention on him and away from the fire mage.
"No. I won't let it go. We are nakamas. We should-" Erza's ranting was cut short by a thud. A shout of "Natsu" almost followed it. She rushed toward the fallen wizard ignoring the voices that commanded to bring Wendy. She only moved to make room for the blue haired mage who worked her magic on the fallen slayer.
"Is he ok Wendy?" Lucy's voice broke the tense atmosphere. The girl looked quite confused.
"I-I don't know what is wrong with him. It's like he is asleep but something is blocking my magic from taking any effect, just like that day his scarf turned black." She explained worry and guild at not being able to help weighing her down.
"It's alright. We will let him rest and get him proper treatment after the games are over. Or maybe the first knows something about it?" He asked to which the girl mearly shook her head in a no, causing many to frown.
"Anyway. Lets continue in the games and win. For Natsu's sake" the crowd repeated after him, determined to the core to win for their friend.
"We got the book Mard Geed-sama." A black hared women said, bowing in front of a man sitting on thrown.
"Is that so. We finally got it. The book of Master END. We will achieve our mission." He cracked with glee.
"You mean to say he was not there. I thought for sure. Let it go" the man finished with a sigh.
"I'm sorry my lord. It seems like he was not there" he said just as a green haired man entered.
"It's no problem. I know exactly where my son is. Now tell me what is Tartarous is doing?" He asked amused.
Natsu had retreated or rather forced to retreat into his mind. The landscape was of a Sakura garden with a lake in front and moonlight reflecting and illuminating the whole landscape. A crunching sound echoed inn the landscape breaking it's selenite feeling. Natsu turned around to block an attack from behind only to see a pair of emerald green eyes boring into him. The figure in front of him jumped back and the guy standing in front of him could have been his twin if not for his hairs long till his knees and having bluish-black colours with pink highlights and his eyes. His build was slender, surprisingly void of showing muscles and a yukata covering his form.
"Who are you. What are you doing in my mind?" Natsu only received a small laugh in return irritating him.
"No matter how much knowledge you gain, you are still oblivious to your own self. I am you, or more specifically the demon sealed inside you. END." He explained causing Natsu to tense.
"What do you want?" Natsu asked voice strained
"You know when Acnologia attacked it caused our seals to come undone. Because a body can't contain two souls it is dying. We are going to perish. This would have not happened for a few years but due to your run in with that demon slayer the whole seal collapsed. It should not have happened till the book of END opened, but somehow it did. We have to find that book" the demon said and Natsu panicked.
"Wasn't the book in-" he ranted only to be stopped by the look on the others face.
"In Lumen Histoire. Yes. But someone took it." He finished and Natsu gritted his teeth.
"Zeref. I knew there was a motive why he joined for a purpose. At first I thought it was Mavis, but now" Natsu ran a Han through his short hair.
"He might have opened the book. The thing is we are dying and there is only one way to stop it. The thing is do you want to continue living? Our existence will be a painful experience, if any. Like a monster. Do you still want to?" The question stopped Natsu in his tracks.
Gajeel's words echoed in his mind. 'Do I still want to?' The wondered and then opened his mouth to answer.
End. So what do you think will happen next. Please read and review.
