Chapter XIII: Unexpected Meeting
Previously on The Man without a History
"Deliora...." Erza said. "I still don't understand what anyone would want with it?" She asked looking at the demon encased in ice.
"Better question, how did it get here?" Y/N asked. "From what, Silvia told me, it should've been in Brago, not here," He said. His eyes squinting, knowing he must do something to reverse this, otherwise countless lives would be lost again.
"How the hell were they even able to find it?" Silvia asked, with a shaky voice.
"Was it hidden somewhere?" Lucy asked in a soft voice.
"It was sealed away," Erza said.
"Inside a glacier of the northern continent," Silvia chimed in, "A decade ago, some immortal demon ravaged the Isvan region, countless people lost their lives," She said in a shaky voice. She felt warms arms wrap around her, looking back to see Y/N hugging her and giving her a sympathetic smile. "The woman who taught me how to use my magic, my master, Ur, sacrificed everything to seal it away," she said, her hands trembling. Her left hand then went to grab Y/N's arm for some comfort, she was confused and lost.
"I don't know if this has anything to do with the curse on this island," she continued, her right fist was shaking. An icy mist forming around it, her element running wild, "But I do know is that it doesn't belong here," she said. The icy mist now running wild, Y/N having stepped back to let her anger out.
"This cold emperor, we have to find out who it is," she continued, "If they tarnish my masters legacy, they're gonna regret the DAY THEY WERE BORN!" She yelled in anger, gritting her teeth.
~Present Time~
~Third Person POV~
"You're saying this was brought here from the northern continent?" Happy asked.
"Could this demon be the cause of this island's curse?!" Lucy asked. There was a silence, nobody knowing the answer.
"No," Y/N said.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Silvia asked.
"It's the Moon Drip, I remember reading about it in one of the books of Lost Magic from a Library in Magnolia, whatever's happening to the Island is not because of this demon, but because of the Moon Drip, those three were talking about," Y/N said, pointing to the passage the three came from.
"Yeah, it has to be the Moon Drip, it can unseal any kind of spell," Y/N said, Silvia's eyes widen.
"You mean?...." Silvia asked him with her eyes wide open.
"Yes, whoever, this Cold Emperor is, is trying to unseal the very demon your master sacrificed her life to seal," Y/N said, his hands clenching.
Silvia was in a state of shock and rage, she was staring at the Demon with hatred in her eyes. Her gaze so cold, that it could freeze anything.
"In that case, let's go up to that glowy mountaintop," Nashi said excitedly, waving her arms in the air.
"It makes sense now, all the talk about 'gathering moonlight' could only lead to this," Lucy said, slamming her right fists onto her open left palm as if the information finally clicked.
"We must get to that mountaintop now!" Silvia said, they all now and start running to the passage. However, one of them stays behind. It does not go unnoticed by Erza who stops and turns around.
Y/N was standing there, looking at the demon encased in ice.
"Y/N? Are you coming?" Erza asked. Y/N just shook his head, he looked towards her.
"There's something I must do," Y/N said, "Don't worry I will join you shortly," he said. Erza was hesitant, but she nodded and followed the group.
Once Erza was out of earshot, Y/N turned to the demon.
"You know you're not very good at hiding," Y/N said aloud. There was silence before he heard footsteps approaching.
Y/N turns around and meets a masked figure, it looked like a man. The man had green hair, with an olive cloak over him. There was a mask on his face, it was red in color, with four horns protruding from the sides.
"Oh? Mysterious~," Y/N said, looking at the masked individual, however, something was fishy, it smelled like a woman instead of a man. "You know you really reek of a woman," Y/N said.
The figure froze, and Y/N grinned, knowing he hit a nerve. Suddenly, a strong wind current blew inside the cave system.
Then a wave of electricity came out of nowhere and went towards the whole cave system. It struck the individual, making the mask catch on fire. The figure quickly grabbed its mask and threw it on the ground, watching as it disintegrated into nothing.
"So that's, how you really look like," Y/N said looking at the new figure, or well woman that was standing in front of him.
The woman is a pale-skinned woman with dark purple hair and brown eyes. She has a rather voluptuous figure.
The woman was wearing a tight fitting battle outfit. The battle suit is sleeveless and skin-tight, being divided into 3 sections; the main body of the suit and the legs of the suit from the thigh down are both white with black patterning, with the space between them being a deep brown.
The entire suit is trimmed with gold patterns, and Ultear sports a matching white headband. On her arms, she wears long black sleeves, with the section from her elbow down bearing chunky, gray wrist-guards.
"Huh?" Y/N said as he crossed his arms, "Fancy seeing you here Ultear Milkovich, The Time Wizard," He said. Ultear's eyes widen in surprise as she staggered back, confused as to how this figure even knew her name, scratch that, how he even knew she was using a disguise.
"Your scent was the key," Y/N said. "So, how's Jellal?" He asked with a grin.
"I don't know who that is," She said quickly.
"Oh, sorry, I'll use his actual name," Y/N said and paused.
Ultear was feeling nervous, 'Does he know his fake name?' She thought.
"Siegrain," Y/N said with a grin, putting his hands in his pockets, "So, he wants to control this demon, am I correct?" Y/N asked.
Ultear did not say anything, she couldn't, for the first time, she was lost and confused. 'How does he know about our plans?!' She thought in her mind.
Y/N walked closer to her, Ultear took a step back, however, she then took a step forward in confidence. 'I'm as strong as the Magic Council Members, he's nothing,' she thought in her mind.
"You guys really think you can control a demon, a Zeref's creation mind you," Y/N said, looking at the Demon. He then turned to Ultear and walked to her, he stood in front of her and started going around in circles, around her.
"Beautiful face, check Voluptuous body, check, Kind personality, uncheck," Y/N said, as he circled Ultear as if he was a predator and she was the prey.
"You do know who encased the Demon right?" Y/N asked.
"No, and I don't care either," Ultear said in a cold voice.
"Tch, Tch, Tch, that's not how you speak to someone Ultear, didn't your mother teach you better," Y/N said, Ultear grit her teeth. "Oh, sorry, I forgot that your mother "abandoned" you," he said, emphasizing on abandon.
"Look," Y/N said with a sigh. "You see that demon over there?" Y/N asked pointing to Deliora, Ultear did not respond. "Wanna know who sealed it?" He asked. Again she did not respond.
"It was your mother, Ultear," Y/N said. Ultear froze, her eyes wide open. "You really think your mother abandoned you, didn't you?" Y/N said to her.
"She did abandon me! Don't speak as if you know what happened, you insensitive fool!" Ultear screamed at Y/N with rage. "That bitch left me with those Magic Council people," She said, looking at the ice with hatred.
"You really believe that?" Y/N asked with a gentle tone, he was giving her a sympathetic look. A look she was unfamiliar with because most only admired her.
"Yes!" Ultear said with confidence. Y/N just stared at her, staring at her with those blue eyes. Y/N said nothing and kept staring at her, looking straight into her eyes. Ultear slowly felt her resolve breaking. "R-Right?" She murmured.
"You see, she didn't abandon you, she was told by the Magic Council that you were dead," Y/N said, crossing his arms. "She gave you to the Magic Council because you were very ill, due to the immense amount of magic power you possess," Y/N said.
Ultear froze, her eyes were wide open.
"YOU'RE LYING!" Ultear screamed.
"Am I?" Y/N asked in a calm tone. "This came straight from her mouth, which also came straight from her pupil's mouth, who is my girlfriend," Y/N said proudly.
There was an awkward silence, however, Ultear was deep in thought. 'But they said she abandoned me!? Is it really true!?' She thought.
"I think it's time, I show you a few of my tricks," Y/N said, removing his bomber jacket, and dropping it on the ground.
