|Chapter 19| A Promise
Left side of the ice wall:
Nashi, Storm, Sylvia, Jellal, Wendy, and Grandine.
Right side of the wall:
Reiki, an unconscious Nova, Gale, Rosemary, Asuka, Miza, Zeke, and an almost dead Romeo.
|Nashi's POV|
It's pouring, pounding even.
"Sylvia... did you bring this?" I ask Sylvia, who is looking at the strange, thick, ice wall.
She just whispers, "no..."
I look towards Storm, "Did you?"
He simply nods his head. I don't think he's ever done this before. The weather I mean.
It pains me to hear Grandine crying into Wendy's shoulder. No child should see her dad in that state. No. One.
I hear a mini explosion abruptly, I look to see where it came from.
Jellal had his right hand out, I guess he'd sent the blow towards the way he sent his hand.
"What's the matter Jellal?" Wendy asked, comforting Grandine in her shoulder.
"Eileen..." he muttered. "Wendy, Nashi, get away now! Hurry!" He puts his hand down and looks at me with a stare that can kill, "I'm dead serious Nashi, go. Now."
Is he serious? I can't just leave them.
"GO NASHI!" He yelled, very angrily.
I don't know what to say. He said it so angrily, I'm not even sure...
Wendy grabs my hand and starts running for our lives.
"Nashi, we don't have time to rebel, just come along," she tells me as we're running.
And then.... another freaking wall cut us off.
I heard a voice, one that I heard before, "idiots, I'm not stupid enough to let you guys get away."
I look around to see walls covering all four side of our team. I look towards where Jellal is, there's a wall that's right behind Eileen, who is in front of them.
Damn it.
Storm has a wall of ice right in front of his face. Looks like it almost cut off his nose.
There's that wall that Sylvia is looking at, it hasn't moved.
Then there's the one that almost killed Wendy. She was grabbing my hand while carrying Grandine, the wall slid up from the ground into an about 200 foot wall... I think it's 200 feet.
"Fire Dragon's Fist!" I punch the wall, there's not a dent. And it hurt my hand, bad.
"Ouch ouch ouch!" I say, putting my gist in my mouth. "That really hurt..."
"Water Slicer!" I hear Sylvia yell.
I turn around to see Rin taking Sylva and Storm on. Wendy gives me her daughter, "Nashi, please take her, and don't do anything, ok?"
AW GREAT! NOW I CAN'T FIGHT!
I sigh, "Ok..." Oh well. Nothing I can do now.
Grandine is freezing when Wendy gives her to me, I use a bit of my magic to warm her.
"It's so cold..." she shivers and puts her arms close to her chest and puts her head into mine.
"Hey..." I say calmly, she lifts her head.
I look into her black eyes... they're not distant. They look a lot like Romeo's...
She doesn't speak, just looks at me with her red nose and cheeks. Hearing the rain pounding on the already muddy ground. The cement and carpet that was here before has disappeared... I think it was an illusion. Possibly a work of Alex's.
"We'll be alright... you don't have to worry, ok?" I reassure her. "And it's only raining... why are you shivering so much?"
"I-I d-don't know... " she stammers.
"Your dad will be ok... I promise you that."
She nods lightly before putting her face in my chest again.
I rest my back against the wall behind me and sigh.
I'm so tired. Sick and tired of all of this. I'm tired of these people. I'm sick of this necromancy. After this battle, if we lose, I'll just hand myself over. This isn't alright.
After only about 2 minutes of resting, I smell something unfamiliar... no. I've only smelled it once.
I tighten my grip on Grandine, and roll over so now she's under me. I hear a sword swing at the same time.
I turn my head to see a woman with thick red hair in a braid, and is about as tall as Jellal. Her clothes were quite revealing. Kinda like Erza's.... her...
Armor.
Eileen.
"Found you," she said with a grin.
"Eileen!" I hear a man's voice yell, he then punches Eileen out of the way. He had azure colored hair... Jellal's here. Along with another bluenette.
"I thought I killed you two!" She yelled before attacking Jellal.
"It's gonna take a lot more than that to kill us!" Wendy screams.
Grandine clutches my shirt, "please don't get hurt," she sounds like she's crying.
I pull her head up to look at me, "Do you even know who you're talking to?" I smirk.
She sniffles, "Y-you're..."
I finish for her, "Nashi Dragneel of Fairy Tail... Fairy Tail. The strongest guild in Fiore. You know what that means right?"
I hear Jellal and Wendy's attacks and Eileen's sword blocking their spells. The rain is still pounding at its loudest. We're starting to sink in the brown mud.
Grandine shakes her head, meaning no.
"It means..." I look up at the sky, rain falling on my face, I then look back down at her, "that us being hurt, is not even an issue. We'll win this. And we'll get your dad, he'll be fine."
She smiles lightly, "Promise me..."
My brown eyes meet her black onyx eyes with a questioned look.
"Promise me that my dad will be ok! You won't bring me a lifeless body! Promise me!" She says, tears and water droplets running down her cheeks.
"I promise," I say calmly, we then hold each other tightly in a hug.
I've never seen her so adult like... she's only 10. She's just like Romeo... so mature at a young age. Well, so I've seen.
I don't know if I'm allowed to use my dragon slaying magic, so I'll use my celestial spirits for now.
"Leo! The lion!" I summon Loki.
He already knows what to do. He knows me so well.
"On it!" He says to me before going towards Eileen.
"You again," I hear her scoff.
"Spirit number two..." I whisper to myself, I see a puddle from all the rain.
Oh she's going to kill me. I'll just have to deal with it for now.
I sigh heavily as I grudge toward the puddle, "Aquarius! The water bearer!" I summon her.
The first thing she says to me is, "You're just like your mother!DON'T SUMMON ME FROM A PUDDLE AGAIN!"
"Would you stop complaining?!" I yell, "Just go over there," I point towards where Storm and Sylvia are fighting Rin, "and kick some ass!"
|Aquarius's POV|
She is like her mother...
But more like her father. I hope they find him soon enough...

Sigh. The world may never know.
