Hours.
I spent hours at that one spot. Looking at the bodies created by my carelessness and reckless actions. Looking up I noticed that the sun was already down. So I continued on the path.
I was walking for so long that it came apparent to me that I was slipping in and out of sleep. I looked around two hills on either side of me. I went right. I continued for hour before coming across a tree on a hill. This happened to be the same tree from earlier that day.
The sky now being dark I lied down and slept.
~~~~~
I was suddenly back at my old college. The place where I learned the basis for everything I know now. My brother was walking next to be on an open hallway. I stopped and looked at him. He realized I stopped and turned around.
"Big brother? Why are you crying?", Natsu asked.
"Na...ts.." I couldn't get the words out. I was looking at my brother. Suddenly a lightning bolt struct down from above. Killing Natsu.
Why does this always happen? Every night! The same dream. Walking with him again only to watch him be killed.
The dream shifted. This time I was nowhere. Blackness all around. My little brother appeared n front of me. "Hey, big brother!" He called out
I couldn't help it. I started crying again. I told him to stay away but he didn't listen. My heart beat fast every time he called out my name.
"Zeref!"
"Zeref!"
"Zeref!"
"Zeref!"
"Zeref!"
"Zeref!"
He wouldn't stop. What kind of torture was this. The gods must hate me if this is what is yet an extension to my punishment.
"Go away!" I yelled. I cast a very dangerous spell. Knowing he isn't real. But when I looked at him he was lying there dead.
Suddenly I was awake. I was so angry and sad I summoned so much magic energy that when it was released the landscape was destroyed.
I looked up. For miles there was nothing but grew and black. Everything was dead.
