His Icy Past--Gray Fullbuster

(Still Gray's POV)

I will never forget that day. The day my village was destroyed.

I remember lying there seeing everyone die. I realized that I was going to die soon as the rubble crashed on me. I saw my father lifeless on the ground with a scared expression etched across his face, blood running down his forehead.  My mother in the same condition. Slowly, I faded into unconsciousness.

*****

"Hey, Ur! Ur! Someone survived this wreck!" I heard as I slowly regained consciousness.

"You are right Lyon! Let's help him up, he's injured!" a woman's voice said with worry.

I was helped out of the rubble by a purple-haired woman and white-haired boy a year or two older than me.

When I remembered what happened I was so horrified.

"No, Mom! Dad! No!" I sobbed.

"Let's go, you need to see a doctor!" the woman told me.

"Can I at least bury my mom and dad?" I pleaded.

She looked at me with pity. "Okay. But what is your name? I'm Ur."

"Gray. My name is Gray Fullbuster, lady." 

A few hours later I sat staring at the grave made of wood from one of the fallen houses.

RIP 

MIKA AND SILVER FULLBUSTER

I thought of only one thing. Getting revenge on whoever killed them.

***

I never wanted it to be like this. Sure, Ur was kind, but I was still convinced that revenge was the way to go.

I only benefited from staying with Ur because she was very athletic and made Lyon and I run and do stuff like strip in the snow to 'enhance our resistance to the cold. And so, my stripping habit was born. And nobody has time for clothes, at least not me.

But I wasn't happy.

I set off to go challenge the people (yes, because if there is no magic there must be a few more people, right?) who killed my parents.

"No, don't do it, Gray! It'll get you killed!" Ur protested.

I didn't listen. I wish that I could go back in time and tell myself not to. It would have prevented a ton of heartbreak coming.

***

I failed. I couldn't defeat them. Ur and Lyon had chased after me. 

Lyon tried to go after the people who I tried to kill for killing my parents but he ended up unconscious.

Ur did everything to keep us safe. She defeated the criminals but ended up sacrificing her own life.

"Tell Lyon, I'm dead and that I'm sorry it had to be this way. Right now, just go south. I'm sure you'll find happiness there, Gray," she had said. "I love you both!"

***

"This is all your fault, Gray!" Lyon snapped at me.

He was right it was my fault. But I didn't need to worry about what Lyon felt. I just needed to go south. Unfortunately, I knew I wouldn't let go that easily.
