Gray X Reader (The Puppet Maker)

Chapter 34: Cult

Chapter 34: Cult

"Where have you been Gray?" Erza asked when he saw Gray entering the guild.

Gray hasn't been present in the guild since you are kidnapped by Soluna. The reason why he's not active to the guild is because he's searching for some information about Soluna.

Soluna is an unofficial guild who is popular of having a reputation about raiding guilds. As what people knew, they don't have any mercy and won't hesitate to kill. But the on that ticks on Gray's mind your relation to them. They are saying that you are the chosen one and for what reason? That's what Gray is figuring out.

"I'm searching for some information about Soluna" Gray said to Erza.

Gray sat and looked at the team Natsu with a serious expression.

"What infos did you gathered?" Erza asked.

Gray has tried different ways in gathering information. he went to some of the libraries and to the places where guilds has been raided. He also searched for witnesses and asked them if they knew anything about the relation of the chosen one and Soluna. For all the information he gathered, one thing clicked his mind and this has a legit evidence because this came from one of the guild raiders.

"The one thing that is confirmed about is Soluna, not only as a guild raiders but they are also a secret occult that is built by their leader" all of them was surprised to what Gray said. It has no legitimate answer of what is their belief, but it would be a big problem if they spread more evil.

"That explains everything about their term of saying things. It make sense" Wendy appeared while carrying Carla in her arms.

Carla seems to understand the situation now. Every move they made is only indicationg for searching the person who was known as their chosen one. If they are an occult, that only means they believe on that chosen one to be a sacred item for their cult or maybe she is a sacrifice, that's what Carla thought.

"It makes total sense" Carla is talking to herself and after mumbling those words, she looked at Gray "Where did you get that kind of information?" Carla is starting to get suspicious on how Gray got that info.

"I went to Blue Pegasus and asked Hibiki about it. They captured one of the guild raider and started to question him to spill some beans for them but it didn't take long when his last breathe came. You should know already how cruel Soluna is, they don't trust anyone other than themselves" Gray explains everything.

"He died because he became a traitor. They play dirty games" Erza said while gritting her teeth. She's mad just thinking how Soluna can solve their problems.

"I also tried searching about cults that may be connected to the chosen that they are saying but nothing appeared" Gray said with an exhausted tone. "I don't even think that (y/n) is qualified to be one. If she's fake, she can't escape alive from them" He added

"The only thing I had in mind right now is to rescue her before that happened" Gray said to them.

They looked at each other and they are pretty satisfied to everything that Gray said. Even if it's just a little info, it already gave them a part of the missing puzzle to figure out what is really going on.

"But first let's find their base" Erza said. "Do you have something in mind?" She asked Gray.

Gray shook his head in disappointment. "I'm still finding it"

"You're the one pushing this so badly huh" Natsu said this words in a teasing tone but Gray only looked at him with his serious expression, not cracking anything to his jokes. "Someone gave me this obligation to do so that's why I'm only doing the right thing" He answered him.

Natsu didn't talked back to him knowing how serious he is. There's no place for a joke right now, this is a serious business, no one know what might happen next.

While on the other side where you are currently inhabitant with the people you also known as your puppets, everything you wanted and everything what a human being needs, they gave it to you like you are some kind of a princess.

"My lady" Nikolae called you.

You looked at him and asked him why he called you and he answered their is someone outside that's wanted to talk to you but before you can completely leave, Nikolae stopped you by putting his hand on your shoulders and whispered "Be careful" and he pulled out his hand and smiled at you.

You smiled back at him but you started to get nervous as you walk away. 

When you finally got outside, you saw Ura beside Arez. You started to sweat knowing that your visitor is Ura. 

You slowly walked towards her and when Arez noticed you, Ura looked at behind her and saw you. She bowed down to give some respect.

"W-what are you doing?" You stuttered when she bowed down.

"I'm showing some respect for our chosen one" Ura said not straightening her body up.

"Y-you should stand up straight first" when Ura heard those words, she took it as a one of your commands and looked at you with her serious face.

"I'm sorry about what Heros did to you" She apologized and was about to bow down again when you finally stopped her from doing that.

"If you felt sorry then you should say sorry to my friends first. You hurt them the most not me" you said to her but she shook her head declining the fact of hurting your friends.

"And if you could let me go then maybe I could accept your apology" you added.

"But you should be grateful as you are chosen by our Lord" She said confused.

What's running on Ura's mind right now is being a chosen one is a chance that cannot be slipped by. You are chosen because you are favored by their Lord and you shouldn't waste that opportunity.

"I don't know what you are talking about but if he's related to my lost memories then I should meet him" your voice started to get louder but Ura still answered you in a calm tone "You cannot talk to him right now"

"But why?"

"Time will come and he will appear right in front of you" Ura said "but that's not the reason why I am here" 

"I'm here to get you and meet someone who might answer any of your question" 

"W-who is it?" you asked her with a little nervousness in your body but she didn't answered your question instead she grabbed your hand tightly and pulled you forcefully.

This doesn't seem right that's why you are trying to pull yourself away from her but she's too strong. Even if you don't want her pushing you around, you can't help it but try to go on with what's happening.

First of all, this chapter might be a bit of a sensitive one because this has gone out to the boundaries. I can't help but write this because this is what I wanted to happen. I'm pretty sensitive to stuffs like religions because I don't want anyone to think that I am a person who doesn't believe in God.

Well I believe in one and he's greater than anyone else in this world. So what's my point? I just wanted to tell you that I don't think of this story to be connected on some religion, I made stuff all by myself and tried my best to be able to write anything without stomping anyone.

I'm an open minded person that's why I'm able to write this chapter even if it's a bit difficult to go on with it. I tried my best so I hope everyone can understand my situation when I write this. Thanks for understanding.
