X793

I stood near a big red tree looking at the sky. The sun was right on top of me shining through the leaves. I use my hand to shade my eyes. There was no backing out now. I guess this is our fate isn't it?
A big winged bat-like creature swept past. I reach out my hand and it landed on my palm. It was a golem. It opened its mouth.
"You are to come back for your promotion ceremony," A voice says from the golem.
I sigh. "Yes father."
"Do not call me father or Zeref. I am the Emperor Spriggan and you are about to be appointed the highest position in Alvarez."
I sigh again. "Yes Emperor," I say.
"You have three days to arrive here in Vistarion for your promotion. We will be waiting, Larcade Dragneel"
The golem catches on fire and falls to the floor, dead. I touch my cross and put my palms together and pray. The ashes disintegrate. I sigh again. It's been a month since I left her and now this plan of fathers is about to start. I get on my cross and fly up into the sky.

"It's about time you got here," Said Intel Yura. A polite, snow haired man was sitting on a table with the other guards of Zeref.
"Come sit, you are now promoted aren't you," Said scarlet haired Elieen Belserion.
"So this twerp is finally one of us," Says Demaria Yesta, the empress of time.
God Serena grunts. "Obviously because he is the 'prince'."
The others on the table just ignored me. Jacob Lessio, the assassin just looked out the window. Ajeel Ramal the dark skinned dude just tapped the table impatient. Bloodman the etherious did the same. Brandish a scantily clad woman, looked annoyed. Neinheart the armored man and Wall Ehto the human Machias (a species of machines) who's a professional in weaponry just sat there minding their own business. I sat by the chair next to the center chair. The door opens. He walks in.
"Starting today, you will all be called the Spriggan 12" The dark haired malicious man says.
"Yes Emperor," we all say. He sits at the center chair.
"You are to aid me directly in my plan. We are to be strong. Soon Fiore will crumble and Achnologia will be destroyed. I will obtain the one thing I need."
"Um can we leave now," Brandish says annoyed.
"Yeah this meeting is unnecessary," Demaria says. "We know Larcade would be one of us." She smiles at me.
"We knew of your plans, sir," Jacob says.
"Well can I go?" Brandish says.
"Where's August?" Father says. We all look around. It's true there's just eleven of us here. The leader of this group isn't even present.
"Don't ask me," Elieen says. "He feels like his old self has the freedom to do anything"
"Well he will be your leader and part of the 12" Zeref says.
Bloodman gets up and walks to the door and leave.
"Impatient as usual," Ajeel says.
"You all can leave," father says. As everyone leaves he looks at me. I was waiting for a smile or something a father would do next. But, he turns around and heads to the door. "You shall obey my orders and never be as rowdy as the rest," he says and then he disappears , just a plain hologram, as expected.
I walk to the balcony beside the castle. Vistarion, part of the Alvarez empire gleamed in front of me and the islands near the far horizon. It was an empire my father brought up and it has been successful. This is just the beginning of his huge plan. I'll get you back mom.
For me, family means everything. I just want my two parents my sister and me all together. But unfortunately, for the past 100 years I have lived, I have been trying to achieve that no matter what sacrifices must be made. Eventually. Mavis Varmillion is my mother. Her and my father, Zeref were friends and then I was born. I never spent much time with my father but always spent time with my mother especially at a guild she created and was a master of. Mavis would give excuses to where my father was but now I know he was keeping this whole empire under control. Unfortunately the days with my mom ended when her curse and my fathers interacted with each other and while I was looking from a far distance, my mother died in my fathers arms. That was when I met my revenge driven half sister. At first I resented Zeref and agreed to destroy him along with my sister because I believe he killed my mother. As I grew up and got my immortality, I learned about the curse both my parents and my sister had and the consequences of it. My father thinks I am really strong given that both of my parents are powerful mages.
The Spriggan 12 other than myself are also definitely strong. I pause as the wind picks up my clothing.
"That's too bad Cirki," I say looking at the sky. "We might be stronger than Fairy Tail." I lay my hands on the railing of the balcony. There I spent some time wondering what my half sister was doing right at that moment. My guessing is that she has also started her plan for revenge or whatever she called it and has joined Fairy Tail. I sigh and turn around to leave. But then some light caught the corner of my eye and I turned around quickly. A light blue dot above one of the far away islands caught one of the suns rays and hit my eye. Light blue as in the color of eathernano. I squinted but it disappeared immediately. Was that her? I shake my head. I was probably dreaming. I shouldn't care anyways. We have chosen our paths and we must face them. I walk back inside. This is our fate...

In order to get love, I have to give up love.
