Pairing: Cobra x Lucy

Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail, it is own by Mashima Hiro.

Darkness surrounds the silent town of Metrolis, dark clouds looming above the starless night sky. The present night was a good time to start a theft, or to another individual a murder attempt.

This individual was named Cobra, crimson hair spiked up all over the place, a distinctive scar on his right eye making him half blind. His sharp elf-like ears enables him to hear anything within a mile radius, to him even whispers of the mind can be heard. His eyes looked reptilian, just one glance at it can leave you petrified in fear. He wore upper crimson robes and a black sash holding around his body with loose black pants, black lining collar and white cape draping onto his shoulders.

He is from a notorious guild called Oración Seis, they are the most villainous guild throughout the whole country of Fiore. Rumors said that they would do anything for money whether if it was for stealing or killing. Their status in the high society frightened the rich nobles, even with the resort to have the tightest security in their homes it doesn't seem to help. If one of the evil-doers of the guild were managed to get caught, the citizens only had a short-lived moment of peace before they found out they had escaped the following day. Those who had locked them up were hanged on the doors of their homes, showing that those who oppose them will suffer.

This guild was hidden in the thick woodlands where no one would be able to find them. Even if one dared to search, they never return back out. Many such incidents occurrence was the same, the King's knights tried to get them out of hiding. If they ever did make it out, they were already on their way to being dead within the next few minutes. People have said that they had cast dark magic in the forest where only the guild members were allowed to enter.

What they said was true, their master had cast dark magic to their surroundings to prevent intruders or knights into their forest. This magic was only pass down to the generation of the master's next kin. In this medieval era, those who weld magic were called beings of the devil incarnation. That maybe possibly true, the unknowns and unknowledgeable tangibles which they dare not seek for the answer.

This did not intrude the young man at the age 19, a ripe age for anyone to get married. However this man had no thoughts about thinking of such ludicrous things. He was an assassin in his youth, such a young age to be one in fact. Other assassins were much older, over 25 perhaps, were more experience with the art of killing. Cobra was different from the rest of those old geezers, he had started killing when he was 12.

As a young boy his parents were the cause for his misfortunes, he was once a noble, a high standing rank in the society. His parents treated him like a tool for their future successes, never looked at him like a son, punishing him terribly if he ever did a miniscule mistake. His mind had snapped one day, stabbing them repeatedly with a butcher knife. A maniacal smile adorned on his face as the blood splattered his body and face. As the knights marched into the house he still hadn't stop his madness. They had to restrained him and thrown him into the dungeons as he screams loudly like a lunatic.

What was like hours pass by, he finally calmed down. His state of mind however was in turmoil, his mind was still at the crime scene and the death of his parents in his both small hands. The stench of blood was still there even when it has dried up. A child of his age should be enjoying the wealth and playing with children of his age, not stuck in a dungeon adjacent with other prisoners who are older and dirtier looking than him.

It wasn't long until something pulled him out of his thoughts. He heard the sounds of clashing, there was a fight close by. He moved himself closer to the prison bars and tried to get a better angle of the fight. He suddenly saw a body flung to his dungeon cell with a resounding thud and a groan coming from the man's lips. The knight slid down to the ground, a leg came out of nowhere kicked him away and a dark needle from the ground stabbed him directly to his heart. The knight spewed out blood from his mouth and died in an instant.

His eyes was filled with fascination as the needle slowly descends to the ground and disappeared into the shadows of the dead body. He heard footsteps gaining closer to his cell. He saw a man walked out of the shadows and stopped in front of him.

This man had sliver shoulder length hair, black eyes showed his dark nature, wearing a black coat and black pants. He had a tanned body with strange blue markings and lines on his face as well as his body. He was holding a strange staff that looked like a skull, strange leaf-like crown attached to it.

The man look at the boy in wonder, how he must have been curious of such a small child to be held in a prison and covered with dried blood stains on his body. Cobra did not show him any weakness of his gaze, he glared at him with his slit eyes and hissed at him. That man gave a smile towards him.

"You have quite an interesting look you have there young one. Would you like me to take you out of this disgusting prison you are in?"

Cobra looked at him like he was the crazy one. Why would he want to let a murderer, much less a child out of this tainted dungeon when there were other people he could have taken with him? The man probably knew what he was thinking and continued his speech.

"I can see that you have more potential than these insects here. I can help you discover that hidden potential. You won't be caught or will be killed, I will supply everything you need even a home. Join me and I will give you everything."

The boy looks at him with distrust. He doesn't trust anybody especially the adults after what his parents had done to him. The man gave a light chuckle.

"I know what you did young one and I can see why you wouldn't trust me. What if I said that I can give you a better life? A life much better than what you've been through with your parents. I can teach you even greater things and you will grow stronger. Strong enough to even kill anyone easily without detection of anyone knowing that you did it. Those who made you do things that you do not want, you can kill them off. Would you agree to follow me then?"

The boy flinched, to kill off those who was forced upon him. It made his body tingle with delight. He gave the man a crazed grin and a nod. The man gave him the same grin and chanted a strange incantation. Shadows rose from the ground turning into tentacles, it tangles itself onto the bars. Cobra moved away from them and saw the shadows pulled out the bars with ease and flings them elsewhere. It disappears back to the ground and the man held a hand towards him. He took his hand without hesitation and followed him into the darkness.

The man finally led the boy out of the shadows and found themselves in the dense forest just outside of the town. Cobra gave him a puzzled look to the man beside him.

"Do not judge everything you see with your eyes young one. This could all be an illusion, a different space of matter. Nothing is as they seem even in reality."

Cobra stares at the trees and saw nothing change, he heard a chuckle. He turns and frowned at the man.

"You are an intelligent child however you're still too young to understand it just yet. One day you will understand the meaning of my words."

The boy growls at him and continued to follow the man. The next words he spoke however had shocked him beyond belief.

"Oh where are my manners, I have forgotten to tell you my name. My name is Brain, the master of Oración Seis."
