“Rei-chan don’t do it!”, Reliza warned. Reimonbeth’s magic exploded.
Reimonbeth didn’t know what just happened. When he opened his eyes, he saw Reliza hugging him protectively. He thought he made an explosion but when he scanned the room, everything is alright like nothing happened.
“Wha…what happened?”, he stuttered as he looks over to his sister. Reliza was looking tiredly at him.
“Reliza!”, Maru was looking worriedly at her as he held Reina in his hands.
“Mama….”, Reina cried to her.
“Did I wake you sweetie? I’m sorry”, Reliza apologized before looking at Reimonbeth. “Rei-chan, I told you not to use your magic. It will kill you if we didn’t stop it on time”, Reliza coughed blood after saying it.
“Big sister”, he held her worriedly.
“Dear, take Reina away from here for a moment. I’ll be alright. Don’t let her see this”, Reliza said. Maru did what he was told.
“Sister…don’t tell me you…”
“Reimonbeth, promise me you’re not going to use your magic for something like this. I love him, I already explained it to you”,, Reliza panted.
“Sister….look what he did to you! That man…I’ll kill him!”, Reimonbeth was about to chase after Maru but Reliza stopped him.
“Rei-chan. Stop now. I’ll get angry at you if you hurt him or anyone from my family. Rei-chan, I love you so much since you’re my brother. Please don’t make me hate you”, Reliza cried on him.
“Why do you care for the wrong people? That man is from the family who killed our parents for money! Why can’t you understand why I’m doing this! Why do you have to make a family with him! We’ve always been together!”, Reimonbeth screeched in anger.
“Rei-chan, that man may be from the family who murdered our parents but he’s not the one who did it. He’s gentle, kind and he loves me very much. Don’t you see how he makes me happy?”, Reliza soothed him.
“That’s just it. You’re the only one who’s happy. What about me? You forgot about me already”, Reimonbethsadly said.
“No. Never, I will never forget about you. I looked for you, Maru even asked wizards to look for you. Now that you’re here, we can be a family again. Please Rei-chan, don’t leave….”, Reliza said.
“Sister, sometimes I really can’t stand your ideals. I’m sorry for making you worry for me. I’m sorry if you have to use your own powers to stop mine from killing me. I already know our magic kills us. Take care of yourself sister. This is where we’ll part ways”, Reimonbeth stood glumly as he looks at her without any expression in his eyes. It was blank. None at all.
“Rei-chan……don’t leave…ARWPH”, Reliza suddenly gripped her stomach as she threw up on a nearby bin. “Rei-chan…..please, I don’t want you to leave me again. Please, I don’t want any family member to leave me again, for this child as well”, she caressed her stomach.
“Sister…..I see; you’re expecting….I don’t know if you can make it up until then. I don’t even know if you’ll still be alive to deliver that child. The magic you used to save me will kill you both. When I leave this night, you’re already dead in my thoughts. That way, I will be charged guilty forever”, Reimonbeth turned to leave by the window.
“Rei-chan….don’t leave please….Reimonbeth!”, Reliza tried to stop him but he’s really determined to go.
“Goodbye Reliza”, with one final glance, he leapt with a sad smile.
“NO!!!!”, Reliza shouted out.
After two years…..
“Master….”, Tenma approached him with many others behind him.
“What is it?”, Reimonbeth asked. He was now the master of Advent Ghoul.
“We gathered all the thousand under your command. Hell’s Thousand Warriors is complete”, Tenma bowed.
“I see. Good. How’s the deal on the north?”, Reimonbeth asked.
“We successfully shipped the clients’ request”, Hotaru said.
“That’s great to hear. You may leave”, Reimonbeth dismissed.
“Yes”, Advent Ghoul bowed as they leave.
Reimonbeth looked over to some newspapers when he was all alone.
“So she managed to give birth after all. Good thing to that girl, she’s not a wizard”, Reimonbeth smiled. His eyes widened when he saw the baby’s name.
Elizabeth Marjolette Callimar
“Hey Rei-chan! When you had children what will you name them?”, he remembered Reliza asked him once.
“Why?”
“Just tell me!”
“Hmmm…maybe Rupert?”, he said.
“Hmmm? That’s sounds so cool! What if it’s a girl?”, Reliza asked.
“Maybe….Reina?”, he replied.
“You want to name her after our mother?”, Reliza asked with a smile.
“You asked me and I just answered”, he pouted with a blush. “So, how about you? What will you name your child if it’s a boy?”
“Nope, I’m pretty sure I’ll bear a girl. A beautiful baby girl”, Reliza smiled sweetly.
“Why? Don’t you want a boy?”, he asked. Normally, someone would want a boy as their first born.
“Because…..that way, I can name her beautifully”, Reliza laughed.
“You’re so weird. So…what’s this beautiful name you’re thinking?”
“Elizabeth!”, Reliza smiled again with a glowing atmosphere surrounding her.
“Elizabeth? Your name starts with an R though”, Reimonbeth said.
“Hehe. I created it while playing with both our names”, Reliza said. Reimonbeth looked at her with surprise for a sudden but smiled when he realized what she meant.
“That would be a very beautiful name indeed”, Reimonbeth smiled at him.
“See? I promise I’ll name my daughter Elizabeth and she’ll be the best blessing anyone could ever have. She will be the most treasured girl”
“So you’re planning to spoil her?”
“No. I think it’s better if she will go through challenges and struggles. To cry for something she tried so hard, to feel the pain of the world. That way she’ll be a stronger person. I don’t want her to end up having our magic because if she does, that will be very, very sad. But if she does, I hope she will find it a blessing rather than a curse”

“That girl…..”, Reimonbeth cried as he remembers it all.
“That’s right. Mother always thought about you. Elizabeth and I are the proof of it! Can’t you see? She never wanted to leave you. You’re the one who left her! Elizabeth….almost suffered the same fate as you two did! We almost had the same thing you and Mother had but Mother didn’t let it happen!”, Reina cried harder.
“I remember…..what Mother….told me…before she died”, Elizabeth panted as she struggles to breathe.
“Elizabeth!”, Reina ran towards her. Reimonbeth stopped from attacking since he’s also struggling to breathe. The magic he’s been using is already taking a great damage on his body.
“Reimonbeth-san….no….Uncle, Elizabeth looked at him seriously. “She told me…about you”
“What? What nonsense are you talking about?”, Reimonbeth eyed her with fear.
“She told me…”, Elizabeth started as she reminisced everything.
Flashback…
“I used to devote myself to only one person before”, Reliza told Elizabeth when she was still so little.
“Is it Father?”, young Elizabeth asked.
“No. His name is Reimonbeth. I love him so much. I loved him before I loved your Father. Your name was taken half from him. You see, he’s so difficult to deal with but I love him. He suffered a lot so….”
“You mean there’s someone who you love more than Father?”
“No. They’re equals, but that man is special to me. You’ll understand when the time comes. You have the same power as him. Elizabeth, you’re special too like that person. You’re power is far too great so don’t use it recklessly alright? I love you so much. I love your Father, I love Reina, I love Lucy too, and I love him as well. He’s our family. When you meet him, please shower him with the same love you give to us alright? Please don’t let him feel alone. He’s been alone for so long. Let him feel that he’s not alone anymore”, Reliza told her as she hugged her tightly. Reliza cried to her so much. “I can’t be with him anymore. That man hates me but I still love him. I can’t be with you for a long time as well. Elizabeth, I’m sorry you have to carry such a heavy burden”
“Mother, why are you crying?”
“Nothing. Don’t mind me. Just remember, I will always look out for you no matter what happens alright? I will always love you”
“Mother…”, she hugged back.
“Lucy?”, Elizabeth saw her mother reach out for Lucy. She was with her all this time.
“Auntie?”, Lucy childishly walked towards them.
“I leave my daughters to you”, Reliza smiled at her as she patted Elizabeth’s head.
End of Flashback
“That’s the first time……I saw my Mother’s tears”, Elizabeth cried.
“You’re lying!”, Reimonbeth was too ignorant to believe it. A slap stopped him from saying any more. All eyes widened when they saw Lucy with his head face down and her right hand that made the impact.
“The Legendary right hand”, Natsu remembered how hard she was slapped by Lucy too.
“When will you believe it? Why can’t you believe it?! Stop being so ignorant! Are you happy with everything that has happened? Look! What are you trying to achieve with all these?!”, Lucy was crying as she pointed all the wizards on the ground. “Do you think all of this is worth it? So many lives were messed up! Don’t create any more problems and sufferings! What is it that you truly want huh! What are you trying to prove?! Do you think Aunt Reliza would want this from you? You wanted revenge but after that, what? What will you do? Your life will just be messier. Do you think she will be happy seeing you like this?! Look in front of you! Open your eyes damn it! Aunt Reliza is already dead but these two are alive! They’re trying so hard to reach you! Aunt Reliza is living in them! Aunt Reliza is living in you too!”, Lucy angrily shouted at him.
“Lu…cy”, Reina and Elizabeth gasped.
“Do you want them to end up just like you? What’s the point of dying? You’re just making an excuse to run away from everything! If you have problems so do we! Dying isn’t a solution; you have to face those problems head on. If you die, everything will just continue to crumble but if you live, you may find something….something that can ease up all the pain…as long as you’re alive….you can struggle to break free…..you just can’t keep on running away from your problems…..it won’t solve anything…can’t you understand….how painful it is to lose someone important…..Aunt Reliza….Mama…Michelle…my Father too…..they’re all gone….They won’t return…no matter how hard I try…..I’m sure you feel….how sad it is to be left behind….how painful it is…..but….no matter how painful it is….there will always be someone….to take the pain away….I’m sure you’ll find…someone to stop you from being someone you shouldn’t……don’t ignore them…..don’t push them away….there is always someone…who will always be there….to help you…I have Fairy Tail to help me….Elizabeth has Reina and everyone else…you…you have comrades too….don’t forget that…..no one is alone…no man is an island…..all of us…has someone by our side”, Lucy cried so hard as she says it. “Don’t let yourself to be consumed by the darkness in your heart……that’s what Mama told me”
“Rei-chan, Mother and Father are already dead…but we’re alive…we’ll live….we’ll definitely live okay? Sister will always be here for you….don’t let these darkness cloud your heart. I will always be here for you….I will always love you Rei-chan”, he remembered Reliza when they were kids and survived the attack on their home.
“I’ve been such a fool…consumed by hatred….forgive me…..”, Reimonbeth cried as he apologized to his comrades, to Reina and Elizabeth, to Fairy Tail, to all the wizards who witnesses everything and to Reliza.
