chapter sixteen
*flashback*
"Don't worry, Eliza, you'll get the hang of it." Elizabeth's big brother, Kaito Yuuki, grabbed her shoulder firmly.
"Okay. Fire Make: Wolf!" She produced the wolf, but it was still cold as ice. "Kaito, why won't it be warm like Ashtyn's? It's fire! It shouldn't be cold!"
"Eliza, look, nothing can penetrate your skin. No attacks can hurt you. Your fire is cold as ice, you're a strong wizard. You're going to be okay. You don't need to be like Ash. Be like Eliza." He smiled at her.
"Okay!" She fist bumped the air. "It's time to be the best Eliza I can be! Let's go, Ash, fight me!"
"Woah, no, no. Family doesn't fight each other." Kaito grabbed her arm.
"Why? Afraid your imouto will beat you?" She smirked at him.
"Onii-san, onee-chan, come quick! There's a big monster!" Young Ashtyn Yuuki grabbed his older siblings' hands, dragging them out of the alleyway.
"D-Deliora?" Kaito gasped, and pushed his younger siblings behind him. "Get back in the alley. Elizabeth, keep Ashtyn safe, promise?"
"I promise. Why?"
"I'm taking Deliora down. And if I don't make it alive, I want you both to run. Fun far away from here, and don't look back. Promise?"
"Promise! But, I know you'll beat him, big brother! You're the strongest wizard in all of Fiore!"
"Thanks, but that's not true. There are plenty wizards stronger than me. Okay, listen. Go to Magnolia, and join the guild Fairy Tail."
"Yes, I will! We'll wait in the alley." Liz grabbed her younger brother's arm, and ran into the alley.
"Okay, Deliora, Fire Make: Bullets!" Kaito gave the demon his all. But it wasn't enough. Deliora roared, and shot and energy beam at him. "Fire Make: Shield!" He blocked the hit, and ran up for a more closer battle.
"Onii-chan, look out!" Elizabeth yelled, as Deliora shot a beam at Kaito. "Kaito, no!"
It was too late. Kaito Yuuki was gone.
~a year later~
"Give us everything you own, and you might make it out of here alive." Elizabeth Yuuki held her blade to the old man's throat.
"I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't do that, miss." He said, shaking his head.
"Do it right now!" Ashtyn yelled, causing the man to sigh.
"I sense strong magic energy from you. Instead of robbing people, why don't you come join my guild?"
"Wait, really?"
"Of course! Now you don't have to go stealing from people."
"Cool!"
