Fuyu's POV

Its been a few days since I last left Wendy and the pain in my chest still refuses to go away. I manage to ignore it all this time as I traveled. All this wondering trying to find the magic council is getting me tired. I pass by a wanted poster for Tartaros and smiled a little as it brings up memories of how the guild got started. It begin when I met Mard Geer all those years ago.

Past...

I wondered through the forest, dragging my body to the nearest town. I manage to find a cloak to wear that covers my horns from humans. I just took END's power for myself and in turn, big brother was taken from me by a dragon, unable to defend himself. What a mess. Upon reaching the nearest town to get food, I find a newspaper that talked about something called a 'Guild'. Its name was Magia Dragon. What a strange name. The store owner smiles at me as they clean a cup. "That's the new guild that was formed. A guild is a place for people to work together for jobs and find comrades of like mines. Or so I've heard." he shrugs. A common goal huh? "Then I should make my own guild then." I grin. "Ha funny kid. The Magic Council would never allow a little kid to make a guild. Try joining a guild. " the bartender suggested. Tch, yea right.

Sure enough, the Magic Council rejected my plea to make a guild Tch I don't need them, I can make my own guild filled with other etherious like me. I grin as my horns start to grow a little. That's when I going from town to town following rumors of demons. There were so many from other countries. However I start with the one rumor about a demon in Fiore. I grin at the thought of my first comrade.

It didnt take me long to find the town that claims to have a demon. The smoke from a town in the distance tip me off. Once reaching the town, one step foot and all I could see were overgrown vines everywhere from streets to on top of rooftops. The place was pretty much empty and destroyed.Walking over vines, I kept walking until I stumbled upon a guy sitting in a throne made of thorns and vines that sat on top of the largest house in town. He glares at me as I look before him. "Are you a Etherious?" I question looking around. This must be his curse. He scoffs at my question. "What would a lowly human insect want with Mard Geer?" He stands up. "Mard Geer is the great Underworld King and do not have time for you." I roll my eyes. He must be an Etherious. "I'm am no human insect. I'm an Etherious as well!" I reply back moving the clock's hood to reveal my horns. Mard Geer chuckles. Tch. "I'm here to ask you to join me in making a guild. To make humans suffer." I balled up my hand into a fist thinking back to the humans who have wronged me. "Why should Mard Geer join you? A lowly Etherious?" He scoffs as he sits back down. "Mard Geer has no time to play with babies.Now leave." He makes a shooing motion. "I'm not just some lowly Etherious." I growl. He leaps down with a smirk on his face with his arms crossed. "As weak as you look, there is no way for you to fight our great master Zeref. Mard Geer will put you down right here,foolish half-pint." He smirks before swiping his arm out towards me. What is he trying to do? I start to feel the ground to shake under me and on instinct, I leap up; dodging a large vine that bursts from the ground. Landing on the partially damaged rooftop,my eyes locked on Mard Geer. This must be his curse. "Mard Geer commend you on dodging but that won't save you. " he ends with a laugh as he gives out more hand gestures. More vines burst from under the roof I was standing on, making it collapse from under me. Before the vines could grab me, I swipe my hand to use my wind curse to crystallize the air around the incoming vines. I created my own spikes to rip the vine to shreds.

As soon as I landed on the ground, I made a mad dash towards Mard Geer with wind surrounding my fist. He simply grins towards me. "What's your curse, kid?" He starts doing more hand gestures by slashing his arm about.

"Thorns!" He chants as the ground starts to shake again. I stop in my tracks and look around for the vines. My ear twitches hearing the ground crack and out shoots a vine. I leap back as more shoot out and manage to slash my arms and legs. Shit. More vines start to head my way and I slash my arm before me; creating a small dome shape tornado around myself as a barrier of wind.

I start to pant, looking at the blood coming from my wounds. It wasnt too deep so I shook off the pain and look towards a frustrated Mard Geer. The thorns try to drill through my wind dome with no success. Ignoring the pain, I make a hand gesture towards Mard Geer and send the wind that was my barrier towards him. At the same time, his thorns were able to grab my limbs; trapping me. I watch as my attack strikes Mard Geer's shocked expression to create a blast of smoke; blocking him from view. As the smoke clears, however, I could hear panting and a pair of wings moving the smoke. "Mard Geer has never needed to take this form before. Now Mard Geer will kill you painfully." Mard Geer threats as he walks from the smoke looking different. What happened to him?

His wings folded behind him as he aims a finger toward me as I struggle to get free from the vines. "Die." He grumbles as a light shape like rose petals filled with curse power shoots out from his finger aimed at me. The thorns dig into my limbs causing me to shout in pain. The petals fired onto my chest and side, making me cough up blood as the vines start to stretch my limbs outwards as if trying to rip them off. Mard Geer snaps his fingers as a large flower rises up from the ground under me as the vines rise my body up high. I'm unable to move my body, still shivering from the pain of the thorns piercing my limbs. The spiked bulb of the flower opens up and swallows me inside.

It's just dark, that's all I could see as more vines stab into my body. Is this how I die? Being so weak even after taking brother's curse. Am I so weak to not be able to use his curse? So weak that I couldn't even protect myself from those humans. Is this why brother willingly left with that dragon? Because he didn't want to put up with a weakling like me? I cough up more blood as my mind start to fade from consciousness. I hate being weak. I hate being unable to protect myself. I hate those humans that left me an outcast. And I hate Zeref for separating me from what I'm suppose to be! A feeling starts to swell up inside my chest, burning intensely. It hurts so much. Tch. I don't want to be weak anymore. I want my brother back. If I can't have my brother,then I will destroy everything.Make it all disappear. The anger inside me becomes stronger and stronger the more I started losing myself in my thoughts.

Normal POV

Mard Geer grins once Fuyu was swallowed by his curse. "Heh. What a fool. Mard Geer didnt have to try." He turns away from the flower; walking away. A loud roar bellows from within the thorn prison causing Mard Geer to look back. The bulb of the plant burst into flames making Mard Geer look shocked as he steps back. From the smoke, a large demon claw reaches out and swipes the smoke away to reveal Fuyu with red glowing eyes and sharp teeth. His nose was morphing into a wolf-like snout as he gives a deep growl.  "Oh, so you decided to get serious." He grins doing a hand gesture towards Fuyu. "But Mard Geer will still kill you." He grins as vines shoot out from the ground behind him, towards Fuyu. Fuyu's claw grabs the vines as it reaches him. He gives a roar as his claw bursts into flames; burning the vines to nothing.  Mard Geer glares as he mutters a curse.  Fuyu continues to transform into his demon form as he steps towards Mard Geer, leaving a flaming footprint in his wake. Mard Geer aims his finger towards Fuyu. "Mard Geer will put you down like a dog that you are." he glares as he fires petal-shaped bullets at Fuyu. Right as the bullet reaches him, Fuyu swipes his other claw in front of him. A large crystal forms in front of him and absorbs the bullets.  He does a hand gesture towards Mard Geer and the crystal fires back Mard's attack.

 With a shocked expression seeing his attack being fired back at him, he flaps his wings and flies out the way."Tch." he mutters holding an arm out. A large spinning sphere forms in his hand as he flies above Fuyu. "No more games, child," he growls as an immense wooden beam is shot from the sphere and slams into Fuyu. 

Mard Geer lands before his attack with his arms crossed. "Heh Mard Geer is the strongest." However, the wood starts to burn from the underneath as a roar bellows from under. The wood starts to be lifted up by Fuyu in his full demon form, longhorns, fangs, claws and all.  He stomps his foot out from the crater that was formed form the attack. The flames turn black and engulf the wood, burning it into nothing like the vines. At this point, Mard Geer looked very shocked as sweat runs down his face.   In a blink of an eye, Fuyu dashes towards Mard Geer and appears in front of him. WIth a black flaming fist, Fuyu starts to rapidly shoot punches towards Mard Geer, who quickly responds by blocking the move with vines coming out from the ground before him.  With each contact made with Fuyu's fist, the vines would burn. Mard Geer flaps his wings to fly upwards and fire off more petal bullets at Fuyu.  Fuyu slams a foot and leaps towards Mard Geer while dodging all the bullets.  He punches Mard Geer in the face, sending him to slam into the ground to create another large crater. Fuyu does a hand gesture to create shards of crystallized air and fires it at Mard Geer, stabbing him everywhere.   Fuyu freefalls into Mard Geer; slamming his foot down onto the shard, making it stab further into Mard Geer's chest; making him cough blood. Fuyu growls as he grabs Mard Geer by the throat. Fuyu grips his head before his eyes start to turn normal. Surprised by what's happening, he drops Mard Geer how then bows before him. "Fine, you win. You have beaten Mard Geer.  Mard Geer will join you,.." he looks up towards Fuyu.
