Chapter 14

The Lacrima on my hand was blazing. It was getting brighter and brighter. Whats going on. I touch it but nothing happens. The brightness is to bright. I close my eyes. Then I open them when it seemed like the light had dimmed. I'm near a cross section hallway now. Teleportation? Where am I. I look around in horror. There were soldiers everywhere in mid air. Its as if time had stopped.
"Tartaros. Where my books reside.." A voice says in the open hallway, the hallway I'm in meets. My eyes grow wide and my face burns. I peek past the wall. And turn back after I take a look. My heart was beating. My father and Natsu. My father. I was sweating. I fall onto the floor. Time has stopped, it was my fathers doing. I just sit there and hear their conversation...
"Of course I didn't create the guild myself.. Master E.N.D has." My father says.
"END.. the guy who Igneel wanted to kill.." Natsu says. "In that case.. Ill defeat him... in my old mans place."
A crash happened.
"I want you to remember, Natsu.. Igneel couldn't kill him.. in fact some part of him can't.."
"Huh?"
"Natsu, when the time comes.. you have to make the same decision. The most powerful demon that I created, END... Life or Death? The choice is yours.." there was a pause. Zeref was right.. but Natsu is unaware the true identity of END is Natsu himself.
"I don't get what you're saying." I hear Natsu.
"Anyways I'll take my leave."
I peek again just to see my father disappear.
"Next time.. will it be you or END that will reach me? Until we meet again." He disappears. A hologram? My wrists burned like crazy. The magic I had sealed was attracted to my fathers magic. It brought me here. I'll keep Natsu from being END. There has to be another way to defeat my father.. or there is. I look at my hands. I didn't want to stay here and took off down the hallway I was in, away from Natsu.


I ended up outside. My hands went on my knees as I catch my breath. I thought at first that my father would be here but Tartaros is just a guild filled with his books... or so he says. That's why I could sense a lot of my father's magic relating to Tartaros. 400 years ago, my father created demons and had a book to seal all of them. Those demons make up what Tartaros is today. Nine of them are the strongest and their master is presumably END. Did Natsu previously wake up to be END when he passed through the Eclipse gate to this time period and create Tartaros? Did Igneel try to stop him.. but couldn't which led to Natsu being raised by Igneel? Anyways, my father was just a hologram. I believe he's still in Alvarez. I guess its to early to destroy my father. I sigh and look up. Where even is this guild stationed at?
I looked up at the clouds.. they were moving, fast. My eyes widen. This slot of land is moving. The guild is constantly moving.
I get on my Eathernano Scythe and fly up. The Tartaros guild is on a floating cubed island. It wasn't just a normal Island. It was a monster who I knew 400 years ago, Alegria. Alegria must have been Tartaros's base for a while. I fly under the floating Algeria  and see some of my guild members. I catch master flying down to the ground away from Tartaros. What is he up to? Suddenly something hits me. No way. He can't. If it is seen by the world, it'll only catch the eyes of the Alvarez Empire. He has to keep it hidden no matter the cost. But if Tartaros is really weighing on us.. then we have to use it don't we? I don't want to loose Natsu.. or Lucy or Gray or Erza... or anyone else.


I slap my cheeks.  I'm completely useless to my friends. I just- i just don't know how to help. I never had friends before. I cant hide myself any longer. I must help the master with my own power. I trust that everyone will be fine. I meet him on the ground. Magnolia was in rubble. Algeria must have sucked up the magic power from the town. There was no one in sight.


"Master."
He turns around. "Cirki? How'd you get here. I thought you went to visit your hometown."
"Yeah I did but I ended up up there." I say pointing at the Tartaros Guild. "Anyways Ill explain later but you're not thinking of getting Lumen Histoire are you?" I say. Its a bad idea to expose it. My father has been looking for it. But if it means to save our family then we must...
"You know many things." He says. I was surprised he wasn't shocked. "None of the guild members know about Lumen Histoire. Its Fairy Tail's ultimate magic."
"Not necessarily." I say. Lumen Histoire hold one of the three Fairy Magics, Fairy Heart. Its the most dangerous magic off all. Lumen Histoire is a crystal which holds Mavis Vermillion's real body. That's why Larcade believes that our father is just looking for his mother.. the real one in that crystal.
"I had sensed you weren't just normal. You must have had a long journey." I look at Master.
"You you recognize that even I.. am not apart of this time." That my time should've ended 400 years ago but my immortality kept that from happening.
"So you are her daughter." we stop walking and I face master. I was shocked.
"How can you know my mother?"
"I haven't met her but shes in Fiore's history books. Back when Fiore used to be called Ishgal, during the Dragon King Festival or what we say the 100 years war, your mother was famous."
"She was?" This was news to me. The 400 years I've been living.. nobody told be about how she carved Fiore's History so much.
"Yes she had a magic that was rare and powerful. Even when the dragons bestowed dragon slaying magic, the dragon slayers couldn't slay a single dragon due to inexperience and lack of magic. But your mother had power to eradicate dragons. She was marked as the lady who defeated 100 dragons. History said she even went in par with the dark puppet master himself, the Dark Wizard Zeref." The master starts walking again. We head to where the guild is passing Cardia Cathedral. "But, her death was questioned. Like you, your mother was immortal so she couldn't just die the normal way. History has left her death blank. People who study our history believe that when Achnologia finally turned into a full fledged Dragon, the first thing he killed was your Mother. Achnologias power was unknown so they just believed that."
I nod. I guess that I am the only one who knows the truth of her death. Master continues talking as we walk.
"But many others believed that on a certain special night where all the planets are alighted or something like that, her immortality disappeared for a few hours and a dragon killed her. That theory was crazy but still people believed it. The theory that was the most scariest was the one people did not wish to be the truth. That theory is that Zeref killed her. Death magic can kill immortal beings. That theory was pushed away because it felt real but its frightening that Zeref had so much power to kill someone as powerful as your mother."
I looked down. "Master, that last theory is the truth. Zeref did kill her. I was there."
Master stops walking. "That means we must defeat Zeref before he does anything else that may hurt Fairy Tail and anyone else." He says. I nod in agreement. "His guild, Tartaros has already got us involved."
"Tartaros is created by END and not him. END is the strongest demon from his books. Ive been living every day so that every bad thing Zeref has done can be eradicated. Tartaros is one of them. Fairy Tail has helped. You guys dealt with the Tower of Heaven, Deliora, Grimore Heart, Oracion Seis, and the Eclipse Gate. Master, I continue to get stronger so that I can deal with END and eradicate Zeref." I say.
"Cirki, seeing you use ur magic with those dragons makes me believe you already surpassed your mother."
I smile. "Maybe." We reach the guild hall. But all there is is rubble.
"Tartaros did this to our guild hall?.." There was a huge crater. "Everything of Zeref keep on bothering you guys." I look down. "I must help."
"Don't worry Cirki. We will fetch Lumen Histoire and use it once. Then I'll find out how to erase everyone's memories of it."
"We must use it quickly then hide it. I cannot tell you why we have to use it really fast but we must not keep it out for long. I have memory magic. I'll erase everyone's magic."
The master nods. "The Alvarez Empire had invaded Fiore before to get the magic which led to the Magic Council to use Etherion to stop them so i get your reasoning."
"So you knew." Master was right. The country under my fathers rule had tried to capture Lumen Histoire before as a small attack mission. But according to Larcade, he's going to be more powerful in forces the next time he tries to fetch Fairy Heart. That is why we must be secretive and quick. I don't want bigger trouble. I don't want Fairy Tail to face that. I don't want them to suffer any longer.
"Its a good thing they stopped attacking. We must be quick though." Master starts clearing out some rubble and I go help him. A door appeared and we went inside and down the staircase till we reached a huge carved door. Master opens it and I see a huge crystal with Mavis Virmillion's body. 
"Its just like i thought it was. This is the first time I'm seeing it." I say.
"I never got to know how you knew of this magic." Master looks at me. "You've lived for so long but i dont understand why you are related to Fairy Tail at all before you joined."
I laugh and look up. "Its a long story. I know Mavis. We may not be close and I cant say why." I look at Master. "I knew Fairy Tail for a while. As I've tracked Zeref, he has history with Mavis aswell which is where I discovered Fairy Tail and all its secrets." It wasn't fully a lie. I just didn't tell the whole truth. My mother may have been famous for helping in the War but my father wasn't and I can't just say I'm related to Mavis or I'd have to explain my relationship with Zeref. It something no one from Fairy Tail should know. I allowed only Ultear, Jellal and Meredy to know because of our similar goals.
"Okay. I understand." Master walks up to the huge crystal. "We must use this to destroy the 3,000 Face before they are activated."
"Is Tartaros trying to use Face." I was confused. Is that why Fairy Tail is involved. I just appeared in the Tartaros GUild. I never got to know what made Fairy Tail be there.
"You weren't there.. or you were.. who knows. The council members on the Magic Council have been killed one by one. Tartaros is intending to activate face."
"It cant only be activated if the three council members who bound their life to it dies.." I knew Face was another weapon which sucks up all the magic in one country. "So why are they using it."
"They want magic to revive END and be one with Zeref." My eyes go wide.
"B-B-But thats not possible." They are mistaken. It ironic how they are fighting Natsu and everyone without any knowledge of END. Knowing Zeref, he's probably laughing at these etherious he created.
"We must stop face." The master says. He uses telepathy magic to relay to everyone that they must not give up.
"We have one more Trump Card." I say.
"Cirki?" I hear Cana.
"Cirki.. you're back?" I hear Mira.
"Yes." I reply. "Don't give up. Leaving Face to Master and I."
I help Master teleport the crystal up to the ground.
"Cirki... I'll take care of everything from now on. Knowing your magic, you can go help everyone else." I nod. Master bows.
"No. No. I'm nothing special."
"Cirki, your mother was considered a Ishgal's Goddess. And you are her daughter. I must pay my respects."
"Please dont." I look down. "My life is nothing special ass you think." I get on my scythe and fly up looking at the master and the big Lumen Histoire beside him. "MAKE SURE YOU HIDE IT AFTER ITS USE AGAIN. ILL DEAL WITH ERASING EVERYONES MEMORIES ONCE I REACH THEM."
"I HAVE ASKED THEM TO COME TO THE GUILD. ERASE THEM LATER." I hear him say. I nod and fly off. Alegria had fallen. Someone must have activated it and Fairy Tail must have defeated it.  I smile. I look at my hands and take off my eather crystal. Its time I help. Alegria is all crumpled right east of Magnolia. The sight I saw when I reached there was shocking. Achnologia and... Igneel were fighting. What? Igneel was a dragon who went with Natsu through the Eclipse Gate and raised him. He's how Natsu learned fire dragon slaying magic. Natsu had been searching for him his whole life. How did he just appear. I must have missed a lot. He's fighting Achnologia himself. I knew Achnologia. He had been the big player in the 100 years war along with my father. I dont know Achno's relationship with Zeref other than the rumor that Zeref turned him into a dragon and used him to start the war. I also know the rumor of how Achnologia could have killed my mother but i know thats not true.


After the events on my 18th birthday, I went to Atlas Flame and trained with him for 100 years till the war ended. I was kept safe and I lost contact with whats going on in the war. After the war ended, i went to get my curse control magic and thats when I first saw what my Father did. Achnologia is dangerous. He was the reason Fairy Tail was MIA for 7 years. I spot Natsu who is fighting someone on the ground. He felt fired up. I guess his encounter with Igneel caused that. I was worried he was shocked. I drop down beside him.
