Fairytail: E.N.Ds Awakening

Chapter Five: the book of dragneel

Natsu and Levi both took a 30 minute break before hitting the books again.

"Hey you know how the demons had those special magic spells we never heard of, well they're not actually spells. They are curses. This book said that each curse was created by Zeref's strongest demon E.N.D."

"Curses...? Hmmm..." Natsu started thinking intently. 'I wonder if I'm truly a demon. Would I be able to use that power?' He makes a plan to try it out tomorrow morning.

Levi was still talking "that explains so much..." She stops suddenly at something written on the page. She couldn't believe her eyes, 'Zeref Dragneel...' She looks over at Natsu, reading that book with his last name on the cover. 'Dragneel... Do you know, Natsu?'

"Why are you staring at me?" He asks her, throwing her out of her thoughts.

"Nothing... Just thinking. How's the book?"

"Interesting I guess...." He looked nervous. It was strange.

"Think I'm actually done for the day. Is that okay?" Levi asks.

"Yeah, that's fine. I'm going to stay here though and read some more."

Levi nods and leaves for her house.

-----

It's been two hours since Levi left.

"Hey, sir. We close in 5 minutes."

"I'll be out then." He grabs the book and heads out into the woods.

He sits against a tree and opens the book once more. He finally has reached Zeref. The blood from his face disappeared. 'Zeref is mentioned in this.... Is it true? Is it all true? It can't be....' He reads on.

Then his eyes start to tear up as he reads about the dark mages little brother who died named Natsu Dragneel. He started to feel sick. It was true but, was he really a demon?

He closed the book. 'Maybe I'll see if I can do curse magic right now but, what if doing so, if it's true, what if I lose myself?'

He has to know the truth. He has to try.

"Natsu has been gone all day. What is he up to?" Erza asks Lucy.

"He was at the library with Levi," grey comes up and tells the two.

"With Levi?" Erza asks herself.

"Wait, the real question is, why is he at a library?" Lucy laughs but is in shock.

"I heard a little bit of what they were reading. They were reading about Zeref and trying to find more information on E.N.D. They found out that Zeref used to have a younger brother who died when he was little.

"What?! Zeref had a brother?!" Lucy yells.

"They talked about curse magic. Something demons use." Grey claims.

"Curse magic... Hmmm..." Erza is thinking hard.

"Ever since Natsu talked to Zeref, he hasn't been acting right..." Lucy almost whispers to her friends.

"Yeah, you're right..."

"I hope he's ok..."

-----

Natsu stands up and stares at the stars in the sky. Trying to calm himself to pursue a curse magic.

He stuck back into the library and grabbed the book Levi had about it. It had each spell that was created in it.

There was a fire one that seemed the most interesting to him. Cursed golden flame. He looks at the spell in the book and moved his hands to perform it.
He noticed that it was how Zeref performed a lot of his magic. His hands against each other, parallel, his pointer and middle finger up on both hands.

He closes his eyes to concentrate. Trying to get rid of his fear. Trying to get rid of any thought. 'Clear your mind...'

He opens his eyes, picking a tree as his target, "cursed golden flame!" He yells.

A tiny gold flame forms in front of his hands. It intensifies and shoots towards the tree. It knocks Natsu to his feet and he watches it turn the tree to ash and every tree behind it for miles.

His eyes were wide with fear. He did it. He managed to do curse magic. Demon magic. He couldn't deny the truth no longer. He was E.N.D. Created to defeat Zeref. His life was now beginning to change and all he wanted to do was run away from it.

He felt really weak all the sudden. That spell took a lot of his magical power. He was exhausted. He eventually stood up. It wasn't easy and he wondered if he could even walk to Lucy's place. He didn't really want to sleep out in the forest. He slowly and carefully walked to the apartment. His bandaged arm was burning and he held onto it tight.
