" So what are you,"I ask the person that looked like me that was standing across from me.
" I'm you I'm every dark desire you have from your greed, to your wraith even to your lust. One day we will be one and the same and then nobody will stop us. Just give in to your hate and accept the power running through you!! I hate everyone too just like you I want to destroy everything also , we are a lot a lot alike we could end these world's like it was nothing. Just take my hand , " he says holding out one of his hands.
" no I'm nothing like you !! I fight to protect everyone I care about !" the other me laughs with sadistic smile. As his words were hitting home.
" You hate your sister for leaving us to defend ourselves for years. You want her dead the most that's why you train so hard every day . Just like how you don't love that white haired bimbo she sure has developed very well in all the right areas over the three years we known her. You want to ravish her and Make her your personal play thing or you want to slit her throat when you had your fill." He says with a shit eating grin .
"SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP!! ITS NOT TRUE !!!" I scream at the top of my lungs in pure anger before lunging at him blades drawn he blocks every swing like he knew what I was thinking.
" that's it keep telling your selfish that it's not true . We know you love it penetrating defenseless people over and over again. That's exactly what you want to do to me isn't it? You live for battle you're a battle crazed fool .you don't care what happens to anyone else you just want clash against someone stronger. Your like a drug addict you can't get enough so you need more " every word he says hits deep knowing he's right which made me hate him more . Soon everything starts going black myself getting swallowed up my darkness. I open my eyes with a start screaming dripping with sweat . I look around and with my swords in hand panting ready to fight I lower my guard and sit as I start wondering if he was right… no he was wrong I'm nothing like that ….. I'm not a monster. I say to myself before getting up to go inside the guild Hall.
I get some local jobs around town from Mira before I left to get to work she could tell that something bugging me and tried to get me to talk about it but I was to stubborn to talk to her about it. It's my problems and I'll deal with them.
By the time I get done with the Jobs I had the sun was setting. Everything looked a lot more beautiful when the sun was setting. I look down at my clothes and decided to get them fixed or at least better clothes. He walked out of the store in a red and white button up shirt and black baggy pants feeling good that he had new clothes and had his old clothes getting repaired. One thing I kind of like about my new clothes is that they looked like the clothes I wore under my armor back when I was a knight.
Later he stood at the of Magnolia gates of the city thinking back to the time I was reunited with my sister.
( Flashback two years ago)
I was at the capital I was a Royal knight in training at the time I took up a guys offer to me who was impressed with my skills. One night I was out with Eve, Edward, Dronzo and Nox who arrived in Town. When suddenly an army of demons attacked. We spilt up to protect the city . Me and Eve had the west side Dronzo and Nox had the east, Ed was helping evacuate people. it was Nox plan that him and Dronzo can handle the east side while we fought with the royal knights on the west side.
His plan worked for a while but the demons got stronger and stronger then the last one I killed. Eventually I was the last standing in my sector I was getting overwhelmed I kept getting hit by very fast and strong mana arrows.
I blocked a incoming arrow before cutting a charging bull demon in half and kicking away another one. Just to be hit in the right shoulder.
" fuck !! I can't .. I can't move my arm," things were looking bad when Dronzo came in and completely destroying the attacking force with a powerful magic attack. Before grabbing me and taking me to the east side where everyone was but they were injured. We tried making a escape through one of the Gates when I stopped.
" Guys go get out of here I will hold them off , " I shout knowing they would probably kill us if they followed us like this. Someone needed to stay back and stall the demons who were on our heels. They protested but before they could do anything I shoved them through the gate and cut the rope to the gate closing it in their face. Eve was crying calling me a fool I just chuckled at her as they called me a fool I walked forward ready to get my fate not looking back. I fought for several minutes the others being determined to help me tried destroying the gate but it was protected by special magic.
I was getting hit by the same Mana arrows from earlier after taking several of them I collapsed coughing up blood. I saw a demon she was dressed in royal clothes she had a huge evil grin on her face looking down at me .
" I have you now the brother of the crimson witch, " she said in a voice of rage taking my sword pointing at my throat. Eve and Ed were frantic on trying to destroy the gate. Nox was trying to quickly come up with a plan to save me , Dronzo glared the women down gritting his teeth ." Got anymore words before I end you and send your severed head to the crimson witch." She says raising the sword above her laughing at her success. I noticed something in the sky moving in the distance it looked like a shooting star so I made a wish.
" I wish I could have seen my sister one more time, " I say weakly if on cue I hear the words " FIRE MALESTORM!!!!" Everything was burning even the demon who I would learn was a demon princess .
" NOBODY HURTS MY FAMILY AND LIVES !!!! " I hear seeing something come crashing down into the city.
I saw him he was about to die I had to step in the pain of losing another family member was something I couldn't bear especially if I could stop it . I cut my way through dozens of demons until I saw her the sister of the demon prince I killed. Now she was trying to get her revenge by killing my brother.
My sister's crimson eyes turned emerald shining brightly as her hair seemed to ignite into raging wild fire the ground was shaking as if a earthquake was happening. She swung her broad sword with ease and Grace slicing through the other demons before attacking the princess She overpowered the princess quickly killing her .
I ran over to him quickly after dispatching the bitch who tried to kill him. I saw other people run up The white haired girl they called Eve started using healing magic. He looked at me smiling weakly as he was loosing lots of blood.
" thank you sis you're the best big sis….." he said with a smile before he passed out.
( Present)
I sigh depressed now feeling more alone then I ever have . A tear runs down my cheek using my bangs to hide my face so nobody can see it I return to the guild Hall to get something to eat.
Meanwhile in the demon temple Eve had just killed the last guardian demon. Nox and Ed were in the library.
" I found it let's get going ," Nox said as he closes the book Ed Stopped and put up his book. They reunited with Eve who was covered in demon blood" did you enjoy taking put your frustrations Eve ?" Nox asks knowing the answer. Eve nodded smiling as she put up her blade staff.
" I feel amazing thank you for asking. , " she says with a sweet Innocent smile "now let's get out of here and head back!!!" Eve cheered as she has been working almost non-stop trying to find Draco. She's barely slept since he went onto the vortex she even blames herself for being to weak to stop him so she asked Ireis to train her after they get him back.
"Eve are you alright you haven't slept much since this started I'm getting kind of worried. ," Ed said kind of worried about one of his close good friends.
"I'll be fine Ed I'm just determined to find him, " she says yawning fighting to stay wake. When Nox had enough of this Eve trying to do to much past her limits and knocks her out in one hit. Nox picks her up as they headed back to his place so Ireis and Dronzo can start getting gathering the stuff Nox would need to open the vortex.
"If she keeps this up she won't be help to anyone she will be more of a hindrance", Nox says carrying her sleeping body in his arms. Ed could only nod in agreement understanding his point.
In the fairy tail guild Hall Draco was sitting at the bar slowly eating as he was lost in thought trying to remember a legend his sister told him. " Draco you ok ?" Mira asked seeing him deep in thought with a frown on his face.
" Huh oh yeah Mira I was recalling a legend my sister told me about why the Fireheart family had such a strong affinity for fire." I say catching her attention since It was quite day since the guilds rambunctious members are out on a job they shouldn't even have took something about lifting a curse on some island.
"Care to tell me it? It's quite slow today," she says coming around the bar to the side I'm on and sits next to me." Sure it's kind of hard to remember though but I'll try my best. ." I say when levy pulled up a chair wanting to hear it also.
" So the legend goes that a wizard wanted to be the strongest fire wizard in history . So he went to The volcano of purity to learn from the creature that gave humans the ability to use fire magic the Phoenix. The Phoenix put the wizard through many trials to test him if he was worthy of the knowledge the Phoenix held. The trails tested the wizard's soul, and purity and his intentions. The wizard learned there was much more to life then being the strongest as he did the trials. When the world needed him he rose to the challenge but when the threat was defeated the wizard died leaving behind a stone that is now called the stone of the phoenix . Since then the stone disappeared though it's Said that the Stone will call up upon a strong Fireheart to use the stones power to save the world," He finishes as levy writing it down.
"that's amazing ….. you must miss your home " she says giving off a aura I remember my sister always giving off and nods while I look down at the ground." Yeah I do…" she gives me a tight hug reassuring everything will work out. I hugged her back tightly before breaking the hug. " I'll be in my room Mira". I say heading to my room for a shower. As I run my hands through my crimson hair I get lost in thought thinking about my dream I had with the other me. It's been making me question my existence in general .
I was brought out of my thoughts when I heard a knock on my bedroom door" doors open" I shout before stopping the shower and grabbing my pants before answering the door "hello?" I say opening the door with only my pants on dripping wet.
" with you running around so much I forget to give you your guild mark ." Mira says with the stamp in hand. " guild mark ? What's that ?" I ask her with a confused look. She then explained to me the importance of the guild Mark " so where do you want it and what color?"
" I want it on my bicep in dark red like my hair." He held it out his right arm to her and she stamps the mark on my arm.
" There you go now your officially apart of the family." She said with a sweet smile as she put the guild mark on my right arm.
"Don't say that I'll going soon I'll be forgotten ." He says before closing the door then proceeding to dry myself off and flopping on my bed." Ugh why are people here so friendly it makes it so much harder to keep my distance from them." He groans putting his face into his pillow. Getting lost in thought before falling asleep.
When sleep over took me I am suddenly in a church .I look around seeing everyone I know is there and some people I don't know. I look to my right and see what I think is a priest. I realize I am at a wedding I only ever been to one wedding and that was to be security. I look around and see a beautiful array of a light red and white everywhere. I hear a song on a piano I look down the aisle and see four women in beautiful wedding dresses. I couldn't see their faces but I could see there hair one had a scarlet colored hair , one had a beautiful blonde hair, the next one had White hair that made me think of Eve, the final one had azure blue hair. They slowly came towards the alter I felt my heart racing wandering what's going on I look around to see who the groom was.
I get a elbow in my side to see Dronzo and Nox next to me. Dronzo lean's in and whisper's " focus hot head this is your big day ." he says that as I blush as red as my hair and is speechless upon hearing that . I always saw my self dying as no big deal everyone would just throw me in the ground and forget about me and not care . I never even considered marriage even with Eve I always figured it would be like a short relationship because I'm to much of a idiot to keep someone as wonderful as her. The priest finally asks the I do part of the ceremony it got to me I didn't know what to say I go to speak when the four women spoke in unison " we are waiting for you Draco your not a monster your fire burns brightly with passion and love . Use your fire to create instead of destroy we believe in you . Use it to protect instead of harming others.".
I could see them smiling through the veils." We love so much don't let us down. You still have time to go down the right path. You can still escape the darkness and make this a reality. Don't you want to spend the last of your days with people who will love you no matter what." My heart feels so warm I want to keep this feeling in my heart forever. I go to answer them when suddenly I'm brought out of my dream when a steel pillar crashes through the wall smashing me through the other Wall and into the main guild hall.
" ah son of a bitch what the hell was that !!!" I groan in pain as nobody was around. To help me up I crawled to a chair and use it to help me up. Before sitting in the chair rubbing my right arm since it took the brunt of the attack. I look up and see several more huge steel pillars that were launched into the guild Hall." What the hell is going ." I say out loud when my eye lids started becoming heavy and I just gave in letting sleep over come me.
I feel someone gently shaking me " Mmm Eve let sleep a bit longer." I still mostly asleep as I grab who ever was shaking me and pulling said person to me and wrapping arm around them before dozing off holding the person.
" Draco you should wake up Now your groping one of the female guild members." I heard knowing the voice belonging to Mira. I groan opening one eye to see a breasts plate and long red hair I look confused. " Ireis???" I say as I yawn before the person grab me by my neck choking me slightly.
"I'm letting you off with a warning you are new here . So I'll say it once don't ever do That again." I wasn't paying attention to what she was saying I was to busy lost in her eyes. For some reason the second I looked into them I was in like a trance. Something about her eyes made me spellbound like I seen her somewhere before.
" I'm sorry to cut you off miss but what ever I did In my sleep I apologize for it. I slept out here when a steel pillar came through the wall upstairs and knocked me down here." I say in a calm voice not noticing the looks of awe everyone had at how just cut her off as she was telling me how things run around here.
She dropped me on my butt" just be careful next time.. what's your name anyway,?" she asked me giving an observing look as I got back to my feet." I'm Draco Fireheart I'll only be here until I can find a way home . Now I'm going to go get dressed" I say as I'm in nothing but a pair of shorts. After a quick shower I head back down in my want to be knight clothes.
" but they attacked us why don't we fight back Gramps !! " a pink haired teen about my age says as everyone watches. I look to my left to see the women who was choking me earlier .
" So what did I miss?" I lean over and asked her what was going on. She told me about how Nastu was upset that Makarov isn't doing anything in retaliation of the attack. The old man basically tells us to be careful and watch our backs for awhile . I head upstairs to. The huge pillars and starts messing with one of them by carving into it with my swords when I coat them in fire. I am just slicing into the pillar using my instincts letting this bright flame inside me guide me . When I finished it was a statue of me and Eve together I was shielding her from an attack of dozens of spikes as they turned my back into a pincushion.
"Then I look into her eyes and tell her I love you before dropping dead from the spikes." I say to myself as if I told a story for no reason. Not knowing I was being watched by Lucy. I then use the rest of the pillar and start carving into it ." hey Erza , Lucy why are you guys watching the new guy? " nastu asked them seeing them watch him carve into the huge Steel pillar.
Lucy brushed as she snapped out of it as she was checking him out ." I was just um looking for something that's all. " She lied terribly as happy chimed in ." Lucy has a crush on the new guy master told us to make him feel comfortable here during his stay.."
" that's not true happy I don't like him." Lucy says trying to convince the two she's didn't find him physically attractive while Erza approached him wanting to know more about Draco.
" Hey Draco." She said with authority in her voice while Draco was to lost in his instincts as he carved the steel pillar into another statue. Erza grew a tick mark thinking he purposely ignoring her she grabbed his shoulder yanking him away the pillar.
" Ahh what the " I turn around and see Erza" oh hey what's up ." I say smiling at her. While Erza had a serious look on her face " what magic do you use?"
" I'm a fire warrior who uses fire magic." I say leaving out my ability to summon infinite number of swords. Gray groans hoping Draco isn't like nastu and destroy everything when he fights.
I ask her "is that all you want ? " she nods I smirk and lean in and whisper" if you want to choke me again buy me dinner next time." I say chuckling as Ezra's face turned bright red before I left the guild hall to go train for the day.
After a long day of training I head to the guild to with my shirt tied around my head as I am dripping with sweat I hope there aren't many at the guild hall right now since it was late and around dinner time. I don't want them asking to many questions about the scars on my chest and arms. I open the door and see the guild is Alive with people. I just walk up to the bar and order some food I sighed wishing I had the necklace Eve gave me on my fourteenth birthday . It was a silver necklace with a gold half of a heart attached the chain. Eve had the other half of the heart she told me it's supposed to help us find true love. I laughed at her and called her ridiculous that I would never find true love. But now that I'm away from her I miss her so much …. I never missed her that much when I left everyone to go training for a few months on my own. I can hear her voice as if she was falling from the ceiling right now.
I looked up and gasped" EVE !!!"I said before she landed on me followed by Dronzo.
Everyone gasps " Eve !!!"I shout hugging her tightly while Dronzo is on his knees looking around " where are we ?" he asks. " I'll explain it all later let's go the vortex is closing!!!" I grab them and goes to jump into the vortex when suddenly I hear my full name " Draco everflame Fireheart !!!."
He goes pale " oh God save me my sister looks pissed !!! " before I could finish I felt a fist connect to my face as I am sent through the bar and past Mira who was shocked."
"Ugh fuck what did I do sis ??" I say quickly getting up standing in front of her." You had me worried you reckless idiot." She said trying to hold back her tear's as her hair was up in a braid so she couldn't hide her tears " didn't I save the world from demon king ?" I ask her confused.
" yes but you could have done it in another way besides making me worry sick about you !!" she said hugging in a Bone crushing hug crying . " owe that was my back !!!" I cry out in pain as my sister shows her love for me as Eve looks around after getting bonked in the head with several luggage bags that came through the vortex.
Makarov moved towards me and Sis " so Draco what is on your arm" she says poking my right arm where my guild mark is " that's my guild mark they took Care of me after I fell through the portal After the Battle with the demon king"
" Mind introducing us to your friends ." Makarov Said smiling at seeing Draco genuinely smiling and not a empty smile .
"Sure thing old man " he walked over to Dronzo a" this guy is what happens when people mixed human DNA and dragon DNA by force through science. His name is Dronzo" Natsu seemingly gets really excited ny hearing that. Next we have even an ancient warrior princess and finally my sister the crimson witch Ireis. "
I said pointing to Eve and Dronzo before hugging my sister. I noticed Eve was already chatting with Lucy and Erza while Dronzo was just standing looking around since he was never very social. I look to Ireis who was thanking Makarov for taking care of me. Noticed the vortex had closed and was slightly disappointed to not be going home but yet I was happy to get to stay . Seeing everyone having fun celebrating my reunion with my friend's. Seeing everyone smiling and having fun made my heart so warm like it was on fire I just wanted to capture this moment. I stepped out to let them celebrate I never was a big fan of Huge parties.
This feeling in my heart makes me want to get stronger so I can make more people smile and feel save. As I walk around town I clench my fist determined to get stronger so I start heading into the woods so I can try perfecting my dual wielding technique.
After a While of training he hears a voice " your time is coming your first choice on these bumpy roads The time is Coming The wheels of fate are turning. Will you be a destroyer ? Or will you be the protector? I have seen many civilizations rise and fall I seen many outcomes . I seen your beginnings and your ends and everything in between You pathetic barbarian. When you sacrificed your self to close the vortex you should have died yet the wheels protected you because of the role you still have to play . Your role is to bring peace or utter destruction. Will you kill those you hold close in order to bring destruction for what your sister did for leaving you alone telling you she would be back when she never returned? Or will you let go of the past and move forward and forgive her ? Only you can decide your own fate."
I looked at where the Voice was coming from I saw a beautiful demon who was as tall as Mira she had horns made out of black flames . Her dress was a blackish blue." What are you looking at barbarian did you forget who I was? I'm the observer I have seen everything since the beginning. " she said with a emotionless look on her face .
" why are you bothering me you nagging hag !!" he says growing annoyed with her already. " I wanted to tell you your fortune you stupid half-bred ." she said walking up to Draco with her emotionless tone.
" Why would I ." he was interrupted with a smack to the face." I'm not doing this for you stupid fire breathing battle manic I'm doing this because I feel terrible for the wife's you will have for having to put up with you. In my opinion will be crazy enough to love such a strange creature like you . But either way they will love you until your Dead. Maybe this time around you will not die." She says sighing with her eyes showing pity.
" What do you mean by that ? You not telling me something aren't you like always do . You and your cryptic bullshit!!! Why do you bother me so much why do you care much aren't you a uncaring being who just watches and records crap.!" I shout at her getting tired of being looked down upon for my mistakes.
" I don't need love it will only be a hindrance to me. I fight better when I let my dragon side take over " she cuts me off by saying." Is that why your chest is covered in scars ? Is that why you almost lost what was important to you because of your carelessness and savagery? Or am I wrong don't answer that because your to stupid to come up with a reply. Oh are you mad that I'm right?" she taunts me as I snarl in anger.
" I hope this time you don't go down the path of darkness it gets boring watching you give into your anger." She said before walking away From him. I head back to the guild as I for some reason feel like the whole world is on my shoulders. I don't think I can handle this pressure ... I return to the guild which was dead with almost everyone was a sleep or headed home. I used this time to slip by and go up to my room. I see Eve laying on my bed sound asleep. I sigh bummed that I couldn't sleep on my bed . I change to some shorts and was about to lay on the floor when I felt something Grab me And pulled me. I realize it Eve who grabbed me and wrapped her arms around me. I hear her whisper in my ear" I'm not letting my knight leave me again. You might not be a royal knight but to me your my knight " … is she nibbling on my ear !!!! I think my face is as red as my hair. Calm down I think she's just asleep. He told himself as he curled up next to Eve and falling asleep.
