The flames of Fiore.

Attack of Fairy Tail pt. 2

1203 , 12th of April. 10:31 pm.
Guild grounds of Burning Thorn.

Blood dripped slowly off Cains fingers as he strode through the horrific scenes of death and destruction. 17. He had claimed 17 lives already. All were from the guild that called themselves Fairy Tail , and he wasn't anywhere near done yet. He stood on top of the hill that once held the dormitories for the students of Burning Thorn's academy. Only three had survived the attack so far , two of them , himself included , might not make it through the night. But he'll take as many with him as possible. At his sides were a few other members of Burning Thorn , people who had feared him because of his power , now they were thankful to be on his side. A silver aura radiated from him , showing his power for all to see. Looking down the hill Cain could see mages scrambling up the hill , wasting precious energy they would need in battle. But Cain understood this battle. Fairy Tail was using basic tactics of over power with sheer numbers. It was a tactic that was heavily flawed yet could prove effective. Cain would have no problem wiping the pawns of Fairy Tail off the face of the earth if he wasn't in the condition he was. A large piece of wood stuck out of his lower back , just above his hip. No doubt it had shredded much of his insides , but he had to fight. He had friends to protect and he would fight till the last breath to do so. The first member of Fairy Tail to reach the top soon stood at eye level with Cain , which was a surprise cause there weren't many as tall as he was. His opponent grinned and charged into battle , green flames building up around his fist. Cain simply took a deep breath. "Death Dragon's Roar!" He shouted and a magic circle appeared in front of him. The Fairy Tale member quickly stopped and tried to run , but it was no use. A bright silver light erupted from the circle with sound of a powering down machine and engulfed the helpless man and continued on until the light stuck a mountain , and went straight through the other side. When the light died and the magic vanished , all that remained was a red mist that quickly dissipated. 18. "Well well well , a dragon slayer." Came a seductive voice from the shadow to Cain's right. "And a Death Dragon slayer at that. I didn't know there was such a thing. Tell me , can you defy death?" Cain tried , but couldn't pick up a scent or heart beat. It was as if the voice had no origin. Which frustrated him immensely. His anger at everything was finally boiling over , Cain's magical energy surged and he released a massive pulse of magic that covered the entire hill in silver magic , lighting everything up like it was midday. All shadows were instantly vanquished , forcing the girl into the light and caused her to scream in pain. She had long black hair and wore black clothes. That was all Cain was able to see before the light his magic had created died a second after its birth. Screams could be heard from all over the hill in that one second , only Cain was spared as even members of Burning Thorn cried out in anguish along with those from Fairy Tale. "What was that?!" The woman demanded from the shadows. Cain didn't care to answer as two others had managed the climb up the hill to challenge him. He lunged into battle and began to unleash his anger , all the hatred that had built up inside him was finally let loose on the world. "Death Dragon's Claw!" He cried , and his fist was enveloped in the silver light of his magic in the shape of a dragons claws , and brought it down upon whomever was closest. A scream ripped thought the air as Cain dragged his claws through the mans torso , slicing through flesh and bone with ease. The man collapsed onto his knees , hands trying to hold together his body as blood spilled from multiple gashes. He fell to the ground , as blood began to make its way up his throat and out his mouth , his choking quickly ended with a sickening crack as Cain brought his boot down upon his head , crushing it like a pumpkin and spraying his brains across the bloodied grass. Cain had a wicked smile on his face as he looked up to see the other challenger vomiting. He shook the intestines and blood from his hands and slowly began to make his way over towards what would be victim number 20. His eyes become entirely silver and glowing in the dark , with black reptilian slits for pupils. Glaring down at the young girl who had emptied her stomach at the sight of her guild-mate being gutted and then crushed like an insect. He raised his fist to strike , but was stopped when pain exploded through his body. In his blood lust , Cain had completely forgotten the woman that had hid herself in the shadows. She had crept up behind him and grabbed the wood that stuck out from his lower back and pushed it further into his body and blood gushed onto the ground below him. He screamed as the searing pain burned its way through him and he fell to his knees in front of the girl he had just been about to slaughter. Fear began to eat away at him. He hadn't expected to survive this fight , but he hadn't condemned himself to death. He was scared of dying , he was scared that his friends would die because of him. Looking down at his blood splattered body , he saw a lump growing just above the right side of his hip bone as the wood was pushed further into him. He started coughing up blood with each breath and his fear took full control. He looked up and found the girl he had been about to kill. She looked to be slightly older than him , and he was caught off guard by how pretty she was. Her eyes were bright blue , almost white. They reminded Cain of stars , as if he had gotten close enough to reach out and hold one in his hands and her pale skin seemed to glow in the light of the fires that burned the hill side. Her full , round lips were a distinctive red and her blunt nose was rather small. If he had to guess , she was around eighteen , but she was beautiful. The woman behind him leaned down and whispered in his ear. "You , mister Grim , have caused quite a lot of damaged to our ranks. And we can't have that now can we." He was jerked back into reality at the mention of his name and his fear was soon replaced by curiosity. Trying his best to turn his head to see her face , Cain spat out blood and glared at her , eyes full of resentment. "What do you want?"He growled. The woman just laughed and patted his head. "Want? Why , we want your power, of course." She got up and looked over to the young girl in front of Cain. "Zoe , be a dear and keep him alive , will you?" The young girl , Zoe , nodded but still looked rather sickly. She then bent down to grasp the wood one more time and ripped it out , letting Cains blood turn the dirt into a dark , crimson mud. She sauntered off towards the guildhall and discarded the bloodied piece of wood. Cain tried to stand , which only caused more blood to flow from his wound and his vision to be come blurry as he collapsed onto his stomach , making him cry out in pain. He tried to claw his way over to her disappearing figure , grabbing at clumps of grass. "N-no , S-s-sam , Az-azeal , no."he muttered before his vision went black and he faded into unconsciousness.
