Rouges pov

After I realize what the spell is I immediately run back to the FairyTail guild, there has to be someone who can help me break this spell. Rushing through the doors, " I know where she is but I need help!" I pant as I rush into the crowded hall.
" Anything we can do to help we will do it." Says someone from the back but I'm not sure who.
" Does anyone have any information on black magic spells? shadow magic specific." I ask out to everyone, giving a small smile to Sting as he puts his hand on my shoulder.

" I have a few books here about black magic, Lucy come help me look through them. Rouge is there any specific information you have of the spell?" Levy asks already looking in her books with Lucy across the table.
" Yes, I believe it is called the Maze of Shaded Memories. I know its a very rare spell and from what I know from what Skiadrum told me is that it has only ever been broken once." She instantly puts her nose into her books and reads a a very quick speed. Even the green haired rune mage Freed has picked up a book to start helping. I hope they can help me, I can't live without her.

Your pov

Looking around all I can see is shadows, dark ominous shadows that scare me. I haven't been afraid of shadows for a very long time but there is something not right about these ones. I reach out and touch the closest one, I scream in agony as I relive a past memory of the first time the Devils Haste guild took me. Yanking my hand back I feel my side getting wet, looking down I see its blood the injury from the memory opened!! " these are living memories!" I whisper to myself. Looking to the other side there is a shadow with a silvery gleam to it, curious I take a deep breath and brace myself as I reach out and touch this one. I get a warm happy feeling all over my body as I relive the first morning I woke up in Rouges bed to see him looking at me with a smile and a small blush. As the memory ends the shadow moves away. " So good memories are silver and bad memories are gloomy black...but...there is hardly any silver memories....oh!!...no please no...don't let this be the shaded memory maze spell....no!" I say to myself feeling the tears fall down my face as fear and sadness take over. I remember Gortana telling me about this, I can't get out of this alone I need someone who knows the spell to help me from outside. " But I can't do that when I can hardly move a foot before I am trapped by horrible memories...Rouge...I'm sorry." I bring my knees to my chest and put my head down letting the grief take me.

Levys pov

I have to find this! I know I've seen it somewhere, poor Rouge he seems so sad he must really love her. "Oh! Here it is!!" I jump up with the book still reading as I move towards Rouge. " the spell called The Maze of Shaded memories. Its spells effectiveness depends on who it is cast upon. The spell activates a massive aura around the person surrounding them with their own memories. The spell effects all magic users but is highly effective and most deadly to users of shadow magic." I pause and look up to Rouge and he nods with tears in his eyes asking me to go on. " The aura surrounding the victim is filled with hundreds of shadows each shadow is a memory, silver memories are good warm happy memories..safe memories..gray are dull boring memories..safe memories..dark gray are unhappy depressed memories..potentially dangerous depending on the victims memories...black shadows are bad memories very dangerous..and finally these shadows are black but they seem endless and gloomy these shadows are why they are more so dangerous to shadow magic users as they are unlocked by their magic. These memories are ones that the victim has blocked and tried to hide from, examples are torture, confinement, self inflicted injury, etc. These are the most dangerous but normally only seen once or twice in a single aura. All these memories are living memories so when you touch them you feel them, which is why they are dangerous happy memories will make you happy but any memories of any harm will be relived so a cut will be re opened the wound will be real again. The darkest shadows MUST be avoided." I look back up and I am shocked Rouge has falled to his knees and has his head in his hands. " Rouge Im sorry do you want to hear anymore or do you want me to stop?" I ask him worried.
" Just tell me if I can break the spell and how" he mumbles back at me. I flip through a few pages," here it is..ohh...to break the spell you must walk through the aura to the victim and walk them back out, but you have to be able to withstand the possibly malicious memories that you will walk into. Any memory that you touch you will watch and it will inflict on you aswell, you have to go through the entire memory but it will change it will act like your memory and you have to hold a good memory a strong memory in your head and be able to make it out of the memory knowing its not yours. ( think of like in harry potter when he is learning the patronous spell that same concept ) when you walk back out with the person the memories will try and attack you and latch onto you. You have to do your best to make it out with you both alive."

"Thank you Levy" I say to her, I get up and walk out of the guild trying to think of my best and strongest memory. I only have a few that arent tainted by the evil shadow lurking in me. " Hey Rouge! You cant go in that thing you know the shadow thingy in you will try and take advantage of the situation. I know you like her but you can't do this." Sting says worry laced in each word. " Sting I am going to do this, the memory I have to do this is untainted by the shadows I am going to save her" I say determined as I walk to the chery tree. " Its too dangerous Rouge" I sigh I know he is worried but I can't let this take her from me " Sting I am doing this if you like it or not..oh and I don't like her I love her." I tell him and walk up to the edge of the aura.

" hey Rouge is it just me or is this thing like pitch black....like aren't those the repressed memories or whatever?" Sting asks and I see what he means this thing is pure evil its all the never ending shadows, I start to lose hope when I see a glimmer of silver deep within, I can also hear a faint wimper and I cant stand there any longer. " Yes they are Sting, but as long as I know she is alive and there is at least one silver memory in there I will save her I will do anything to save the girl who I love." I reach out and pull myself into the aura, fully comsumed there is no turning back now as I am dragged into the first memory of many, the memory starts and all I can hear is a scream.
