29 Brandish Myu 1 Part I (1/2)
X777
This was a very significant year in the canon Fairy Tail as this was the year the Eclipse plane truly began. This year, Layla Heartfilier opened the gate that connected to the past and brought the dragon slayers to the present, completing the 400-year plan of the Heartfilier Clan. This was also the year Makarov found Natsu and brought him into the Fairy Tail guild.
But all of this doesn't really have much to do with me right now. Maybe in the future, I might play a supporting role or something but at the moment I have no intention of going to the center of the future, namely Fairy Tail. Right now I'm at the current year for only one reason. And that is to grab ahold of my next target.
I am currently at the border between Alvarez Empire and The kingdom of Fiore. And I'm currently walking around a small village which is housing another one of my future wives. One of the future Spriggan 12, the future Country Demolisher.
Brandish Myu.
A month has passed since her mother was killed by that psycho Zoldeo. Of course she doesn't know it was him and thinks it was Lucy's mother. During the time I'm going to spend with her, I have the option of telling her the truth but I won't. because the interaction she had with Lucy and Aquarius in the canon during the war was necessary in my opinion.
I mean, Aquarius was supposed to be dead or something at that point but she suddenly came back after all. I think if Brandish knew the truth and didn't try to kill Lucy, Aquarius might not have been able to come back. Even if that is not the case, I don't want to take the chance. And besides, it would be more convincing if Aquarius showed her the truth than me just telling her with words.
Anyway, I have investigated her situation for a couple of days now and she had closed herself off inside her house when she learned that her mother was dead. My first task is to enter her world and bring her out of the darkness, even for a little bit of time.
So, I made my way in front of her home and knocked on the door a couple of times. I repeatedly knocked not hearing an answer and this continued for about a good ten minutes before I heard the door unlock and open just a tiny bit showing me one eye of Brandish.
What was supposed to be filled with joy, innocence and curiosity about every new thing it saw, was now filled with sorrow, despair and hopelessness. Her eyes were swollen and red, probably from crying too much and you could see exhaustion in it.
”Who are you? What do you want?”
Her voice was coarse from crying so much and from being dehydrated. It looked like it took a lot of her strength to even talk considering the gasping voice I am hearing from her. I decided to take care of it later and focus on first getting inside. I gave her a smile and gently spoke to her.
”My name is Ray Cross. From the looks of it, you have already heard the news so I won't say it. My condolences but your mother asked me to take care of you and teach you in order for you to be stronger in this world. I know you aren't able to trust me since I'm basically a stranger but I mean you no harm.”
