An Elf Called Fatry

The Day it All Began

Okay so I checked on the Black Clover FanWiki (Inwhich I do not trust after reading some of the pages and finding Anime only stuff rather then what really happened in the manga (See Finral's page (Vanessa did not dye Finral's hair!!!! His magic did!!!) for more details, fans of both the anime AND manga... or the Hage Village page that says that there is a school that used to be an old building that they stopped using (That was all filler and should have been stated that it was filler and a change on the anime's part to prevent the wiki from missleading fans who want to know what really happened (I'm a bit of a stickler for the auther's original work...)) anyway the wiki did not list an age for Latry so I'm going with... he's the same age as Langris... because I need an age for plot perpuses of this chapter and possibly latter in the story.... Anyways! I hope you all enjoy!!!

WARRNING THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS MAGOR ACCIDENT AND DEATH!!! (Sorry for the spoiler but for some people it had to be done.)

******

Five hundred and one years ago, in the Forsaken Realm of the Clover Kingdom two young Elves ran threw the Elf village.

"Latry! Fatry! Enough with these stupid races!" Rhya yelled after them when Latry nearly knocked him over.

"Sorry, Rhya-san! But I have to beet Fatry home!!"

"What a pain."

"Latry! I never agreed to this race!"

"Rhya, they are still young. Let them have their fun," Licht smiled at his friend.

"It's not my fault you run so slow, Ni-san!"

"Young? They're not that much younger then us, Licht. I mean it's such a pain. They're nineteen and twenty years old and still acting like children. Not to mention, Fatry has a hard enough time keeping up with Latry's magic. Is it really necessary for Latry to force him into random competitions just to prove that he's better at it then his older brother? Having a competition all the time is such a pain."

"Latry is a bit arrogant when it comes to his magical abilities but he does love Fatry, and only competes with him everyday to help him get stronger, they are brothers after all and nothing can break the bond of two brothers. He knows that there are things that Fatry is better at then him, such as his spell casting spead and the accuracy of his spacial magic. I don't know a spacial mage who is as accurate as him. And his capability to calm down a situation is incredible. Everyone like's Fatry and his constent good spirit, despite not being as blessed by the mana as the reast of us, lifts everyone elses spirits the moment he walks into the room."

"I feel bad for the kid," Vetto said, walking up to them with a chipmunk on his shoulder, Fana at his side. "His mana level is the strongest humen royle at best."

"Yes and I get the feeling that Latry's antics are going to get Fatry hurt one of these days," Fana agreed. "Layla (Fatry and Latry's mother) worries about him too."

"I'm sure he'll be fine," Licht reasured with a smile.

"Hurry up, Ni-san! we're losing daylight!" Latry said standing outside his familey's house.

"But the sun's barely risen. How could we possibly be losing day light when we're just gaining it? Why do we have to go this early in the morning?" Fatry complained as he struggled to walk out of the house carrying a bag. "What all did you pack anyway?"

"Food, a change of cloths for each of us, just incase we're gone all night, a couple books... oh, and a few bricks."

"Bricks!! Latry, that's mean!"

"It was sarcasem. Why would I pack something we don't need. Here let me carry it so you can open a portal to the mountain."

"I can only take us to the base of the mountain."

"That's where we need to go anyway. we're climbing it. It would be good training."

******

"Come on, Ni-san! You're doing great! We're almost to the top! then we can stop and eat!" Latry said as they continued to climb with only a few more yards to go until they reached the top.

"Really?!"

"Yup! See?" He said pushing a few tree branches out of the way for Fatry to see.

Fatry walked up to the edge of the mountain where there was a ledge that dropped off. "Wow! you can see the entire kingdom from here!! Look, Latry! It's the Noble relm! That's so far but you can see it from up here!"

"See! I told you the long hike would be worth it," Latry smiled at his older brother.

"Yeah! Thank's for..." Fatry cut himself mid sentence.

Latry could barely comprehend what was happening. One moment Fatry was standing on the edge, thanking him for something, that Latry couldn't figure out. And the next he was lunging to grab Fatry's hand as he fell over the edge but it was too late.

"NI-SAAAAAN~!!!!!!" Latry yelled helplessly in horror.

Fatry's body fell to a ledge on the mountain side with a thud. Luckily the ledge looked like it had a path leading up to the top of the mountain. Latry ran to it. It was steeper then he thought it was but he carfully slid down it with one leg out in front of him and the other curled under him, his right arm stretched out behind him for added friction so he hopfully wouldn't slide to fast and fall off himself. He got down to the ledge and nelt beside Fatry.

"Ni-san?! Ni-san?! Are you okay? Please say something! Ni-san! Please!!"

"I... It... hurts," Fatry managed to force out before coughing up some blood.

"Shhh. Don't talk. I'll get you help. Do you think you can open a portal home?"

"N... No... I... can't... move.... It... hurts."

"Okay. The village isn't that far from here. Can you at least try to open one at the bottom of the mountain where we started climbing?"

"Ma... Maybe... I... can... try."

"Okay. I'm going to put you on my back. I'll get you to Fana, she can heal you with her flame magic, okay?"

When Latry stepped out of the portal it quickly vanished. Just that small use of his magic caused Fatry to go unconscious. Latry moved as fast as he could without putting Fatry's body under to much unnecessary stress and he soon reached the village.

"Fana! Fana! Help! Please!"

"What's the matter Latry?" Licht asked before Latry reached them.

"Fatry fell and got badly hurt!"

The four Elves looked at each other before rushing over. Rhya and Licht took Fatry and layed him on the ground. Licht had a bad feeling. He placed his hand on Fatry's forehead and it was cool to the touch.

"Latry...," Licht said after placing two fingers at the side of Fatry's neck. "...I'm afraid Fana can't heal him."

"What? What do you mean she can't? She has to!!!"

"Latry," Ryha said calmly, his voice lacking the usual tone of boredom and was replaced with sorrow. "He's gone."

"No! You're wrong! He was talking to me! He's just unconcious!"

"Latry...," Fana quietly said, wishing she had been wrong.

"No! H-he can't be.... We were just doing some training.... We were just.... What have I done...?"

After the funeral, Latry began to change.
