Fairy Tail: God Slayer - The Path of Life and Death!

Chapter 84

***

A few months later. Tenrou Island.

The sun was going down, a lot had happened in these relatively short months.

On one of the sandy shores of the island stood a guy, naked to the waist - the Fairy Tail mark on his broad back was barely visible because of the long hair that fell to the very shoulder blades. The dark orange lights of the setting sun touched the red mark quite a bit and made it even brighter. Suddenly, not far from Aidan, a beautiful petite girl landed. Mavis smiled sweetly and touched his palm lightly with her thin fingers. The guy was distracted from contemplating the sunset and turned, looking in surprise at Mavis' playful attempts to pry him.

"You know, if I didn't know you, I would think that you've already started to miss me.

- Hey? What does it mean? Mavis feigned a pout. "Can't I miss my student?" Here you are forever!

The guy shrugged his shoulders and grabbed her soft hand abruptly. Mavis flinched and looked up sharply.

- What are you doing ?!

Aidan grinned.

- You always tease me, because you understand well how I look at you ... Besides, didn't you say, be decisive and not give up?

"W-well," Mavis replied lightly, "I was actually talking about your magic!"

"Anyway," Aidan shrugged. "If you hadn't noticed my looks since our first meeting, you wouldn't have been Mavis Vermilion! At the same time, you continued to behave this way, do you think I'll leave it like that?

"Hmm," Mavis looked at him thoughtfully, and then shook her head, smiling.

- It's not that simple ... Do what you want. Better tell me, where are you now?

- In the guild, I will temporarily return to understand the situation, and then I will go to Galuna. I need to prevent her soul from scattering.

Aidan has shared a lot with Mavis in recent months. After she found out about his magic and saw him in his worst condition again, he hid little from her. Of course, he did not talk about his reincarnation, but he did say about the grimoire and his family. He attributed the knowledge of Zeref to this grimoire, and he attributed the knowledge of the Fairy Heart to his unique ability to feel life. True, even so, he strongly doubted that she believed all these hastily invented tales.

During these months in the company of each other, a lot has changed - Aidan learned enough about Mavis and Zeref, learned about the formation of the guild and many wizards of the past. It also applied to magic ...

Glancing back at the huge tree raft, shrouded in tree branches, Aidan looked back at this wonderful girl. She, as always, smiled like a child and continued to be sweetly silent, studying him from the side:

- I'll leave in the morning. Will you stay with me?

- Hmm, when I was not with you? - Smiling tenderly, Mavis waved her hand.

- Let's go inspect your gold. You promised to give me something!

- Ha, okay, right after the cute princess.

- No no no! I don't need a crown, I want a beautiful necklace!

- What?! I gave you that thing made of flowers ...

Mavis rolled her eyes in displeasure.

- And nothing that the flowers wither?

- I do not fade! Come here!

- Never! When you come back, make a new one! Now give me gold!

- You are a greedy girl ...

Mavis laughed sweetly and whirled around Aidan.

- It's you who are greedy, and the island is actually mine. Pay for your stay!

- Oh, I'll pay you back!

- Hee-hee, you can start right now ...

Under the arch of bright stars that night, the crackle of the fire mingled with Mavis's ringing laughter.

She and Aidan had fun all night. Dancing around the fire, he playfully grabbed the girl and often made fun of him, as always - this had long become a habit. She laughed joyfully, running away from the insolent trying to catch her, trying to steal for a dance. Even without drinking, Aidan, as always, gave himself up to the fun to the fullest.

The entertainment quickly turned into light-hearted stories of the past. This has happened very often in recent days. Mavis constantly asked to tell her something new. She seemed to try to get him to say at least something, while she herself always starting first.

Sitting on the shore by the fire, the two admired the stars as usual. The girl was silent for a little, and then, looking back at Aidan, who had already begun to fall asleep, she began to quietly tell:

- Then, in the eighty-sixth, we just created Fairy Tail ... As I already told, wars and constant clashes between guilds were a common occurrence. There was an old organization in the east of Fiore, they even survived the first Trade War and were considered quite strong. We somehow had a small conflict ... - noticing Aidan's slight interest, Mavis put her hands behind her head and continued the story:

- So, one of the sisters, and at the head there were just two sisters. Very creepy ladies, I tell you ... Well, this girl possessed the magic of the Dark Writings. I already told you about the Letters, and some dark forms of magic, so you should understand the approximate consequences. Of course, she did not have the same side effects as yours, but she went crazy from time to time. This is exactly what happened when Precht quarreled with Ilica. This girl suddenly lost her temper and started ... - Mavis laughed and pressed against Aidan.

- Then, the fight began again ... Yuri was right there ... Oh, you should have seen his face! Haha, Ilika got them done like that!

- And how did it end?

- Well, - Mavis grinned: - Of course, drunkenness ... Only after that, we became friends. True for a short time ... The Second War spoiled everyone's nerves and Ilica lost her mind during the battle ... The outcome is obvious.

Aidan looked at the slightly saddened girl and hugged her slightly:

- You can tell.

- Not necessary, - smiling bitterly, Mavis closed her eyes. - She was my friend, another of those who died a sad death. I already told about Rita ... Do you remember?

Aidan just nodded, remembering the story. Mavis hid little from him, not even one of the worst moments of his life.

The situation became dreary again, so the guy stood up abruptly and held out his hand.

- Come on!

- Wh-where? - the girl strained slightly: - If you are going to make me swim again, then I refuse!

After admiring her embarrassed face, Aidan finally said:

- Let's climb the tree!

- Uh ... seriously?

- Well, of course, let's go closer to the stars, - Aidan shook his hand.

- So are you coming with me?

"W-well," Mavis smiled sweetly and held out her thin palm. "Come on!

The two spent the rest of the night in silence, calmly gazing at the stars. Only occasionally did Mavis tell Aidan the meanings of certain constellations. Aidan shared his knowledge of Celestial Spirits, which Mavis had surprisingly little. She, for example, did not know at all what the Spirits of the Golden Keys looked like. Then Aidan even showed his Virgo, this meeting turned out to be very memorable ...

Very quickly, the guy fell asleep, leaving the girl alone with her thoughts. As always, she could not sleep - she only had to admire the sky, and sometimes a cute snoring guy. His sleep very quickly turned into snoring scaring away animals. Mavis was already used to it, so after watching him for a bit, she relaxed and closed her eyes, pretending to be asleep.

And so this quiet, carefree night passed.

The hour of departure came the next day. Early in the morning Aidan descended to the beach and collected all his wealth on the raft. Mavis quietly, like a fairy, circled very close. There was a slight sadness on her face, but at the same time she smiled tenderly.

Having lowered the fruit into the water, the guy exhaled with a long breath - finally everything was ready!

Aidan looked around and their eyes met again ... For a moment, he didn't even know where to start. Mavis came down and stood by her side.

- What are you waiting for?

"I don't know what to say," with a wry smile, Aidan paused, continuing to stare at her:

- Can you come with me?

- It's not obligatory. I will always keep an eye on Fairy Tail. So you can consider that I am near.

- Yes? Aidan raised an eyebrow and replied in displeasure, "You just don't want to sail with me, do you?"

"I want to, but ..." Looking back, Mavis sighed sadly.

- I can't leave yet. I have a bad feeling ... If something happens, I have to protect them, you know?

`` Protect ... '' Aidan gazed into her determined eyes and smiled.

"She's as usual ..."

Calming down, he exhaled:

- I understand ... - turning around, the guy shook his head and raised his head to the sky, seriously speaking:

- Mavis Vermilion, one day I will take you!

Without turning around, Aidan jumped onto the raft and waved his hand.

- See you again, my beautiful fairy!

After a moment of silence, she smiled.

- I have no doubt ... - With a little grin, the girl threw a last glance at his red mark on his back and turned away with noticeable reluctance:

- I hope you can handle it ... Those were the best months ...

- Eh ... - Aidan sighed, mentally thinking about the same.

Turning around for a moment, he noticed her beautiful curls, sparkling brightly in the sun. She was about to fly away. This view, as always, fascinated ...

Suddenly Mavis turned around and waved her hand with an affectionate smile. He responded by simply waving back.

- See you...
