Immortality. It's a good asset but also a curse. The curse of immortality came with the Ankhseram curse. Immortality is a curse of living a immortal life. In that, one never dies but ones loved ones and people around one who are mortal, will grow old and die. I stopped growing attached to people for a while so I don't have to go to the pain to see them grow old and die.
The Ankhseram curse I inherited is a curse where, if not controlled, will make people die around one when one learns the importance of human life. However, if one becomes inhumane, the curse will deactivate and people will live and not die around you. Fortunately, 300 or so years ago, I came across a mage in Bosco who inherited powers to control curses and thought me how to control mine. Her name was Deliria.
X478
The horrid events of the past 100 years have finally come to an end. The father I knew has disappeared and the talk of the many people around Fiore were mostly about relief. They believed everything's over and that my father, the root cause of the disasters, has finally died. Dragons ceased to exist now. Only a few remain. Often I would see a dragon appear between clouds and then disappear. The demons, my father created have been locked and controlled by some of of highest mages. Some demons disappeared. The dragon slayer population also ceased to exist. Most of them probably died during the horrid events and most of them went into hiding. 18 years after I was born, I inherited my fathers Ankhseram Curse and became immortal. Luckily I was in the forest but I could see trees and a deer nearby die and I knew I had it now. I was waiting for it. While waiting, I did my own research for a few years and found a way eventually not to lift the curse, but to control it. But I could obtain that power from that someone in a 100 years time so I went into hiding and here I am 100 years later.
I took a boat to Bosco, leaving Fiore, and set off on my journey to find one Mage. During my research I found about a family clan who had the power to control curses. My Eathernano Godslayer power lets me learn any type of magic since Eathernano stores every single magic type and style that exists. Put everyone's magic together and in solid form is an Eathernano. No one but me could eat Eathernano because it is deadly to everyone else since they only have one magic type and being exposed to a billion others would have deadly effects. I will be able to learn of this curse controlling magic once I meet this someone. The Licht clan lived somewhere in the forests of Bosco. Bosco was a weak country. It served as one of the battlegrounds during the fight between humans and dragons these past 100 years. As I get off the boat I see the dug up and scarred landscape where a town used to be. The villagers are slowly rebuilding. There are only a few people. I assume the others died.
I backed into a corner and bring out my double sided Eathernano scythe and use it to ride into the sky. People shouldn't see me. That's why I wear a cape and fly on my scythe then walk. I flew across many burnt down villages and reached the great forest. This forest was famous as in people feared it. Nobody wanted to go in this forest. The trees are the most unique. The leaves were black. I land into the grass and walk, carrying my scythe. This is where the Licht Clan lives. My senses tell me so and also the Eathernano detects magic I haven't obtained. It wasn't hard to find the cottage in the middle of the forest for me. My senses guided me there. There was a huge tree on top of the cottage. The roots wrapped themselves around the house and dug into the ground around the cottage. The tree was different. It's leaves were white. I made my scythe disappear and walked to the door. The door bursts open before I get there. A lady with long brown hair that reaches her knees stood right in front of me.
"This tree is going to die, Ma. It's different. Its turning gray. Look," a lady says she looks into the house and points at the tree above the house. She must be talking to someone inside the house.
A voice come from inside the house, "I have a bad feeling Deliria dear. We must go to the village to check if everything's alright. The last time this has happened was before Zeref's treachery."
The lady shakes, "Are you sure?"
The voice in the house says, "The tree changes when a great change is going to happen. Good or Bad. Last time it was a bad change. We have to see what will happen. Actually, Deliria, don't think about it. It's probably changing because of the good change that will happen after these past 100 years. You should wor-" The voice in the house stops abruptly. She screams really loud in horror. I fell to the ground in shock. I looked to see what happened. A face became visible from the house. It was the lady that was speaking and then screamed. She was looking in my direction. She was looking at me.
The lady outside, Deliria, turns around and stares at me. Her face turns horrid. "Who are you? People don't come here," Deliria says.
"Deliria, come inside now. That person is dangerous." The older lady says.
Deliria backs away and goes behind the doors.
"That woman has a lot of magic power. I sense Zeref." The older lady says. Her voice was shaking.
"Zeref? She's not Zeref, Ma. That black mage died," Deliria says to the older lady. She then looks at me, "Stranger, why are you here?"
I stood up and pulled back the hood of my cape. "I want to learn your magic. You are the last of the Licht Clan, right?"
The lady called Ma shuts the door immediately. "Don't come here. We shall never help you" She said. I stood there. These people can sense my connections to father. I wouldn't be surprised if they already found out that I had the Ankhseram Curse. I was persistent. I knocked on the door. "Please. Teach me your magic. Please," I say. I get on my knees. Anyone I meet will definitely despise me because they sense my black magic hidden in my genes. This shouldn't be a surprise. "Please!" I beg. I have no choice. In order to defeat my father, I have to control this curse or ill end up like my father himself. I need power. Tears start running down my face. "Please!" I plead again.
The door opens and Deliria stands there looking down at me. "Deliria dear, don't let her in," the old lady inside says.
"She's crying, Ma," Deliria says back. She looks back at me "Stand up, you probably had a long journey here. Ill feed you," She walks in and I follow her.
The cottage is actually humongous inside. The proportion is large... must be some type of magic. Deliria guides me to a couch and goes to fetch water. I see the old lady more clearer. She was in a chair with wheels. Her legs have a lot of bandages. Her hair was long and white. She was old. Very old.
"Who are you? You have to at least tell us that young lady." The old lady said.
I didn't want to spill much about me. "My name is Cirki Dra- AheM. I have the magic to be able to learn any different type of magic. I need to learn your clans," I say in short.
Deliria walks back with three cups of water. She hands one to me, one to "Ma" and sips the last cup. "My name is Deliria Licht and thats my mom over there," She says.
"Call me Mary," The old lady says. She takes a sip, "Why do you want to learn Curse Control Magic. It's a useless type of magic because curses are rare these days. During the past 100 years, curses were common but now they are scarce," Mary explains.
I had no choice to tell them about Ankhseram. "I have the Ankhseram curse. I want to control it."
Deliria drops her glass. It shatters. "Just like the Black Mage Zeref," She says and backs away.
Mary backs away too. "Child, your curse is dangerous. It could kill us right now."
"I know," I said desperately, "It hasn't had any outbursts lately and I'm making my self think that all humans are worthless. I don't want to think like that anymore so please teach me. I have the magic to be able to learn someone's magic so I want to learn Curse Control."
"How did u get Ankhseram?" Mary says.
I hesitate. I cant say its because of genetics. I learned that Mavis Varmillion got her curse by doing a difficult magic that was illegal when her body wasn't ready. "I got it by doing a supreme legendary type magic that was illegal in a fight and my body wasn't ready," I say.
"Poor child. I'm sorry I related you to Zeref. Now I know its just the curse." Mary says.
Phew. She now thinks its only the curse that links me to my father.
"Ma has lost her curse control magic but ill teach you," Deliria says. "Will you be able to stay here for a year?"
I brighten up, "Yes Yes!! Thank You."
Every day since then I grew to learn Curse Control Magic. In a years time I left Deliria and Mary. Their tree grew taller and older. The gray leaves meant a change. Deliria says its probably me as that change. Mary's legs were crippled because a dragon bit them and cracked them but I secretly healed them for her with my Eathernano Healing Magic. In year X479 I left Deliria and Mary while they were sleeping. "Thank you," I whisper as I close the door.
I didn't ride a boat back to Fiore but just flew on my scythe. Now I can talk to people and appreciate life. The curse control lets me use Ankhseram when I desire it. I reach an island off a port with a huge tree in the middle. This is where ill stay while I learn more about the world throughout the years. I don't need just knowledge but power so I practiced my Eathernano Godslayer Magic aswell. I also created a Eathernano crystal and embed it into my wrist. It will conceal the magics I don't want people to recognize such as the dark magic I got from my father and some deadly Godslaying Magic.

Its been 300 or so years since then. The island I stayed at was called Tenrou Island. I saw Fairy Tail form. I met my half brother and I grew strong. I think I'm ready to fight my father.
