NOVEL NEXT Chapter 100
*
The construction of Aidan's mansion was in full swing, after a short observation of the workers, he returned to the guild. After talking with Macao and Wakabe, the wizard found out about Gildarts, he decided to leave by the end of the week, that is, tomorrow. Erza's two days flew by pretty quickly, so soon the famous and strongest wizard of Fairy Tail will go away for a century and at least three years will not be visible. In fact, logically, such news should be upsetting, but, Aidan was even encouraged. After all, the closer the beginning of the main story, the faster he will be able to put an end to his main problems.
- Will you have a drink with us? Macao asked chuckling.
- Excuse me, maybe later ... Now we have things to do.
`` Well, whatever you want, '' Wakabe exhaled smoke and said:
- You will go somewhere again, heh ... I remember you as a boy, on your first day.
Aidan smiled and looked towards the exit, although there were a couple of chatty wizards hiding the view of the street, the guy still smiled:
- It was a long time ago ... - he remembered that day, so warm and bright. Still quite a young man who barely mastered magic.
"I didn't even think about that before ..."
Turning around, Aidan waved his hand.
- Okay, be there.
As the opportunity presented itself, he decided to immerse himself in the library again. Even in the past, he rummaged through many books in this place, although he was looking for something completely different. Once upon a time, he too underestimated the influence of his magic, and indeed treated everything in his usual light-hearted manner. In the past, he liked to drink and spend money on women - his whole life was reduced to simple wanderings. Even before joining Fairy Tail, he envisioned his path as a wizard just like that. He even liked the thought. But in the end, everything did not go according to plan ...
The meeting with Wendy was the first moment that influenced the future, although basically he remained the same guy from the past - in the end, everything started from that time. Then as now, he considered it his duty to help his mother and sister. Not because of some sudden feelings, but rather from the realization of how bad they really are. Slowly, this feeling only grew, gradually filling the future. He was the only one capable of allowing them to reunite and find a family.
Ultear is forced to believe in an impossible dream and make one mistake after another, slowly sinking deeper and deeper into darkness. While Ur was stuck in one place with a hideous demon - even her soul could not find peace. Each time he remembered this, Aidan became more and more immersed in dark thoughts. Even if they were ordinary strangers, he would still like to somehow make their life easier. But, these people were his relatives, the same family that he never had. How could he not think about it? How could he just sit and do nothing? But this is exactly what he had left ... Without the Moon Drop it is impossible to get the fragments of Ur's soul, and without it it is unlikely that it will be possible to somehow talk to Ultear. Somehow to prove to her that her mother did not leave her. How could she believe her brother who suddenly appeared out of nowhere? He simply could not do anything without proper preparation. Aidan was not one of those people who hoped for feelings and words, from that he kept everything in himself and waited.
All these thoughts, the influence of friends and close girls gradually forced him to accept reality. Accept that he is no longer the same mercenary from the past, now he is Fairy Tail's wizard, Aidan, son of Ur and brother of Ultear. Feelings only intensified, and magic continued to show its dark side.
When the first call happened, Aidan self-confidently considered that he could control it, and it also happened the second time. He even used the magic of life for granted, absolutely not thinking about the consequences. He did not try to find a solution, because he, as before, decided to let everything go by itself. Ironically, because he considered "The Power of Friendship" to be just a naive dream, but at the same time he thought magic was something kind and useful for a wizard. And so, he found himself in a situation where almost every six months he was forced to face another appeal.
Meeting Mavis further influenced Aidan. He had never seen such a smart, beautiful and at the same time sad girl. She attracted him with her dazzling radiance, kindness, childish naivety, pretty appearance and at the same time with the mind of an adult, even a brilliant girl. Even if Mavis tried to hide it, it became clear that she herself was not happy with her position. But, she was never discouraged. In those days, after two years of torture in a trap, Aidan no longer knew what to do. She became a ray of hope for him, but even Mavis did not know a way to solve his problem. Was Aidan thinking about books, a way to find some kind of magical seals? He did not even know about communication lacrima, even with his talent, he still thought like a person from another world ... Mavis helped him completely become himself. To understand that the magical world is not the same as it was described in this children's fairy tale.
Now, Aidan didn't indulge himself in the hope of finding a solution in the books. Even if Zeref was not able to deal with his curse, if Mavis could not, how could he, a newbie at this, suddenly dig up the secret of his problem in books? Its magic comes from the curse of Anxelam - the first of its kind magic of the God Slayer. Aidan didn't even know what his problem was, how can you look for a cure if you don't even know what to treat?
Even so, he continued to read anyway, planning to visit many libraries around the world. In the end, you won't try or know. In any case, he has long prioritized - he wanted to get his mother and sister back, and thought about himself last. Of course, he wanted to feel and love, to live on like everyone else, but he never intended to depart from the main goal. Mom, sister and Mavis - he wanted to free them all, while maintaining something selfish, believing that it is possible not to be alone ...
"I feel like the moment has come to touch the grimoire again. Who knows what will happen ... Perhaps there will be at least some important information. It would be too strange if this dark magician left nothing behind. If I were a great wizard, I would hardly have allowed magic to dictate its terms. Perhaps he miscalculated somewhere or the point is generally in me ... It is unlikely that I am the chosen one, I do not remember that my karma was so good. Although, I would not say that now I am in paradise. It would seem that such a force is life and death, but this path is rather gloomy ... If I did not have close people, who knows how I would have ended. If it hadn't been for Wendy, I wouldn't have joined Fairy Tail. Only because of her, I decided to accept that naive goal, I wanted to share my future with these people "
As he continued to rummage through the books, Aidan sighed.
"Still, it is probably worth visiting the council, I can't do that ... I want to see Ultear, I can't sit still!" - with a stern face, the guy nodded:
"Mavis said that I'm unlikely to find an answer in books, but the council should also have knowledge. It's wise to visit their library ... I would have floated in Bosco, according to Derek, they have an excellent library. It is also worthwhile to study the Moon Drop and the magic of souls, about which there is nothing really in the guild. I don't know at all what to do with my mom after I get her out. According to Mavis, her soul will most likely arrive in chaos and will need to be restored somehow. Yeah..."
Aidan pondered and read until evening. Even though his Illusion, Teleportation, and Rearmament skills had gone up significantly, he would occasionally glimpse the magic of Flight or even the magic of Telepathy. There is still a very long way ahead ...
