As I got on the streets of Crocus, there was a lot of cheers from the stadium. I looked around for Crime Sociere and found them on top of one of the statues near the stadium. I guess they are monitoring the games to see where the evil is coming from. I get on my scythe and fly up there. I think its safe to let a little of my secret spill especially if I want some answers relating to my father. Ultear and Meredy were looking into one of Ultear's Arc of Time glass balls. The games can bee seen inside. Looked like a personal TV to me. "Woah you scared me," Meredy says scooting back.
"Sorry," I say back.
"Cirki right. You're that weird stranger that was watching Grimore Heart back in the day and now you have joined Fairy Tail," Ultear says.
I was shocked. "How did u know I was there?" I ask. I couldn't believe she would recognize all those years ago. I underestimated Grimore Heart.
"I guess back then I would have ratted you out and Hades would have eliminated you but I get you were just keeping tabs on the second master of Fairy Tail right?" She says.
"Right."
I look around.
"Where's Jellal?" I ask.
"He's late. Either his cover is blown or he's side tracking," Meredy says. But just then Jellal appears on top of the statue.
"There you are," Ultear says.
"They are making Mistogan fight Jura today so I have to go later." Jellal rolls his eyes.
"Don't blow your cover thats all," Meredy says.
Jellal looks at me and his eyes widen.
"You recognize it too," Ultear says to Jellal.
Jellal come closer to me. "Something about you reminds me of Zeref. You're Cirki right? I heard from Erza that you are a new member of Fairy Tail. Our goal here is to defeat these Dark Magics and especially Zeref in this guild. But now that we are face to face, you are very suspicious." Jellal states.
I sigh. How can I keep secrets from people who were heavily influenced by my father. My eathernano stone on my wrist cant even conceal that.
"I recognized it too when you first appeared," Meredy says.
I look at them. I did not want to show pity. These people had most of their life stripped away because of their hatred and their influence from my father. Now instead of being a normal mage, they are devoted in defeating my father and prevent events similar to what happened to them. I felt sad. Jellal is probably refusing to love Erza because he still believes he is evil. Ultear as well, cannot be friends with Gray for the same reasons. I have no choice to tell them the full truth about myself. It's good that a few people other than Larcade who should know that are at least, maybe on my side. They deserve it the most. But first I have to take some responsibility for my father.
I get on my knees and place my head on the floor. "Sorry," I say. "I am so sorry." I look up. They look at me confused.
"That was the first thing I want to say before I explain myself." Jellal and Ultear look at each other.
"I can recognize the dark magic seeping through the castle walls. I can actually pin point where it is coming from if I can have a chance to go inside the castle. That's how close I am to Zeref. But, I don't have the right to say I was influenced like you guys."
They look at me. "So you know where the magic is coming from? How are you connected to Zeref?" Jellal asks.
"Yes. Natsu and everyone just know that I know Azuma's ancient tree magic but thats just a cover to the real magic I harbor. You see, I developed Azuma's magic by watching him as I was observing Grimore Heart. I know Ultears magic aswell," I say.
They listen.
"The real magic I harbor is Eathernano Godslayer Magic. My mother passed it down to me. It lets me eat eathernano and any magic type and it allows me to learn any magic type. It's very powerful because it renders me unbeatable." I just say everything.
"But-but how is that possible. I don't know anyone who has this type of magic." Ultear says.
I sigh. "It's because my mom was one of the greatest mages 400 years ago before my father killed her," I say.
"400 years?" Jellal asks.
This seems like a lot to take in. "My father is Zeref. I am his daughter." I explain to them that I have the same curse as my father: the Ankhseram Curse and explain what it is. I told them that I am immortal and with my Godslaying powers I have gained Curse Control Magic 300 years ago so I can control my curse unlike my father. I bow.
"My hatred for him may not equal yours but I do wish to destroy whatever he is for he took my mother and many people away 400 years ago. Only dark magic can defeat any magics even mine. That's how my mother died that day. But, I believe I was born with both Dark Magic and Eathernano Godslayer magic to get rid of the evil of the world," I say. I point at my two eyes: the red and the blue coloring shows my two halves. Jellal, Ultear and Meredy just stare at me. First their eyes showed disbelief but I could see some hatred in their eyes. "Fairy Tail does not know this and I am in Fairy Tail for other reasons but they are strong and I believe they also can get rid of evil in this world." I choose not to tell them about my relationship with Natsu and Mavis. I look down. "It's okay to show me your true feelings about me. I understand your hatred because of how I am the daughter of the very person this world hates."
"We wont do that. Sorry. You are very different from your father. Now I understand why you were looking at Grimore Heart, you feel responsible because of your fathers actions," Ultear says. I look up. She must have seen me spying on then when she was apart of Grimore Heart. Yes.
"What was in the past was in the past. We wont tell everyone about who you are. If your goal is to get rid of evil and the works of your father than we can help each other, especially now since we sense this dark magic near the castle," Jellal says.
"This magic is similar to the magic 400 years ago at the beginning of the Dragon Festival," I say. "That's the name of the Hundred Years War which started with my father burning many villages with my village as the first. 400 years ago, dragons were everywhere feasting on humans as food. Many dragons were against that and gave their powers to humans which is later called Dragon Slaying Magic. These dragonslayers would fight dragons, The good dragons would fight bad dragons and humans like us would fight my father. My father was the center of it. He was the one who turned Archnologia into a dragon. The dragon who attacked Fairy Tail once was a human, a dragon slayer. My father created demons who would cause havoc. All of this happened for 100 years. Crocus, here, was the center of it all. This place was a wasteland of blood, human corpses and dragon corpses. Maybe there is a connection to that to what is going on here." My memories of walking through crumbled towns and red wasteland come rushing back. "Those 100 years were the worst. It's a memory I want to forget," I say.
"How are we supposed to go inside the castle?" Meredy says.
"We have no chance since we are runaway criminals," Ultear says.
"If that even is connected to here, then we need to figure this out quick. I have a bad feeling about this," Jellal says.
"For now Jellal can go fight Jura and we will decided tomorrow." Ultear looks at me. "Thank you for the information."
"You're welcome. I also am going to go search for a way inside the castle."
With that I brought out my eathernano scythe and flew up in the sky. I crossed the top of the castle and looked down. This magic seemed to be coming from inside and it was massive.
