Tragedy Between Us - [Acnologia x OC]

Chapter 4: Heart Warming End

The rubble was everywhere as well as some flames surrounded the place. All of the towns were destroyed and the dragon Acnologia that once protected this place actually attacked them.

Masaru for him laying under the beam of their now-destroyed home healing himself with his healing magic, lifting it off him despite her injuries she helped him up to his knees, looking at the dragons who were supposed to protect them take down more humans was horrifying.

"Why...I thought..." Masaru shook her head.
"Masaru! Look out!" He called.

A dragon's roar was heard which Masaru quickly used her ice magic and tried to create a wall of ice, however, the breath of the dragon was too much for her and ended up hitting her on one of her sides forcing her back a bit.

"Masaru!" He shouts.

Picking her up into his arms he ran off escaping the town with her in his arms, looking back for a moment as they were on a higher area of the town he could see all the destruction the dragons caused...

He felt such hatred for the dragons now, the powerless feeling was unbearable. Not to mention his love was injured because of those beasts! To make them pay he'd have to become a dragon slayer himself so that each dragon could pay for their actions on humans.

And that's what he became, picking a cave to live in as he took care of Masaru's wounds and new illness that prolonged her pain, he searched for a cure as well as slaying any dragon he came to pass. Each village he helped with dragons he asked if there was anything he could to cure his love of her illness, each time he came back with something but nothing ever worked.

He felt useless, powerless even now that he had so much magic power that he couldn't get rid of the pain she was going through, anytime she felt cold he wrapped her up in a black cloak changing the cloth on her forehead from time to time.

"Masaru...hold on a while longer. I know I'm close to finding a cure." He says.
"Heh, I know. I'll...do my best." Masaru whispered, yelping in pain as another attack came forth.

Acting quick he used some herbs that despite only being helpful for a short amount of time it did help her not cough out blood which was happening as of late. Giving her some water and helping her eat some food.

"Masaru, get better soon love." He sighs.
"Hopefully one day I will." Masaru smiles a little.
"I love you..." He frowns, laying beside her with her in his arms.
"I love you too." Masaru smiles tiredly, falling asleep.
"I'll be back, just wait here." He whispers, putting up a barrier around the cave.

Sadly that would be his last moment with her as she would then pass away in her sleep, only for him to find her laying there unresponsive to anything he tried...thus his sanity snapped, his last line to his life and everything else was gone.

She was all he had...and since she was gone there was nothing stopping his hatred now, taking the cloak she used to warm herself up and placing it around his shoulders it still held her sent, he then buried her under a tree she loved so much and soon his anger took hold of his mind...he bathed in the blood of dragons he came across each time, soon turning himself into a dragon as well.

Acnologia had his eyes closed remembering those horrible moments of his life, Masaru was everything to him, the love of his life and to suddenly lose her all because the dragons they trusted came for their deaths forced the poor man into insanity.

'I won't fail you, every single dragon shall perish under my hands. Then and only then shall you and I know peace.' Acnologia thought.

Unknowingly to Acnologia his lost love believed to be dead had followed him into the time rift, only for the moment she was a little ways away from him as he had quickly sent out his flesh form - Dragon to escape out and destroy the world while he brought the remaining Dragon Slayers to his human form inside the rift
