immortal

Sora left the guild with the whole guild, they all wanted to tag along. the ground headed all over the world, exploring new stuff and even picking up some new wizards and magic along the way.

Soon, Sora and the others headed toward the tallest mountain in the world.

"you guys ready?" Sora asked looking at everyone with their climbing equipment, and heavy winter clothing. this mountain was high, and many wizards have been known to lose their lives there. there was even a roar of dead bodies at the top of the mountain they could follow

"ice, the top gets so hold that it could freeze a person longs. you should have the last coat." Midnight said worriedly as he looked at Sora who was wearing shorts and a t-shirt.

"haha, good one. I'm immune to the cold. now, let's go." Sora said as he lead the way, everyone followed the end they were instantly hit with a blizzard after reaching a height. but this was no normal blizzard as every breath they took left their lungs cold. this forced them to use magic to keep their lungs from freezing up. and this was them being dragon slayers, other wizards would need more than just heavy coats.

Sora on the other head was no effect, but as they got higher, it got colder and colder. the blizzard turned into an ice blizzard, and the ice hurt like hell.

Sora frowned slightly as he felt his lungs also begin being affected by the cold. this was not a normal blizzard, even he with his current strength was being affected.

Soon they saw a cave which they went on to rest in, Sora started a came fairy as he sat around it.

"camp stories?" Sora with a smile, and everyone rolled their eyes slightly. how old were they, Sora smiled slightly as he went on to tell the story of a snow monster.

"The last time you did something like this, you ended up being injured by an assassin," Sue said with a frown, everyone was curious about what she meant. Sue calmly told what happened when they were kids,

"I have the power to bring stories into reality. now where was i... now, the group sat around a campfire, not knowing they were being watched. after resting... what was that?" Sora asked as he looked around, everyone quickly went on guard but saw nothing

"most have been my imagination... now, where was i. after they finished resting, they headed up the mountain, not knowing they were walking into the mouth of a powerful beast..." Sora suddenly stopped and looked around as if he heard something, everyone was alerted but they found nothing

But as soon as they looked at Sora, they saw Sora had turned into a monster. Sue and the others screamed in horror, while Midnight and the others jumped ready for battle. but they were annoyed as Sora began laughing as he removed the transform.

"thats not fun." Yukino who was almost scared shitless said softly, Sora just laughed as he ignored their enraged looks.

"... can I tell a story?" Midnight asked, Sora shrugged as he let Midnight tell the story. and So, a round of scary stories was told. laughs and screams sounded from the cave from time to time, and soon it. they went to sleep but flew slept together as they were scared. Sora didn't sleep as he didn't need to sleep, he watched the blizzard fall outside while in thought.

soon everyone woke up and the journey continued, the snow only got colder and stronger as they went up. but after they reached the top of the mountain, the whole guild saw the most beautiful view in the world.

"Ishgar should be over there, Alakitasia is over there. and we are currently on Guiltina." Sora said with a smile as they all looked down upon the world. the stop of the mountain was like a whole football field, there was more than enough room for a town on this spot, but Sora was forced on something else.

the space here was strange, Sora could sense something but he was too weak to hold on to that feeling. which was weird as with his current strength, what else could be other there that was dangerous to him.

"here," Midnight said as he gave Sora an extra coat as he for a while noticed Sora was using energy to keep himself warm. hr thought something like this might happen. Sora nodded slightly, he was freezing, this place was too strange

"... Sora. don't you think there's something off with this mountain?" Ultear asked softly, Sora nodded slightly. this mountain was not shaped like a normal mountain

a mountain should become pointy as one goes up, yet this mountain was shaped weirdly. Sora and the others closely tried the mountain, and after digging down Sora pulled out some white string-like things from the ground. just one of these things was as thick as his arm

"what type of string is this. so strong, even stronger than most dragon scales," Sora said softly, but everyone else heart skipped a beat as a wild idea entered their head.

"... they seed more like hair," Sora said softly as he lost his eyes and began mapping out the path he took to reach this spot.

"stranging, with all the curves. it barely makes out the body of something. taking in this, I believe we are all standing on the head of a giant. I wonder if it's head or something." Sora said with a smile, everyone's face paled slightly with Sora conforming there guess

"it will also explain why i'm freezing... the only thing I can think of that is stronger than dragons are gods," Ultear said softly, catching everyone's attention

"Gods are a species of magical beings that are known to be the strongest among all species in the world, surpassing the species of Dragons," Ultear said to which Sora nodded slightly

"I believe something similar to the dragons happened to the gods. you have heard of God Slayer Magic which is a Caster-Type Ancient Spell and Lost Magic used by God Slayers." Sora said calmly as everyone nodded slightly

"It is a form of Ancient Spell in which the caster is able to attain the abilities of a "God", using a specific element as their type. A certain elemental type of God Slayer Magic can be conjured from the caster's body and be used for various purposes, mainly in combat. It is said that the original usage of this Magic was to slay "Gods". In addition, the color of each God Slayer's element has a black tint, regardless of what it may be." Meredy said to which Sora nodded slightly

"This should be some ice or snow god, clearly we are no match for this thing... so I guess this is it," Sora said softly, all this journey and he didn't really find meaning in his life.

"master, you searched all over some a meaning. but is what you search for now in front of you? we are like a family," Midnight said with a smile, Sora was speechless for a second as he looked at all of them, and they all looked at him with a smile

For these 9 months they have been with him every step of the way, they laughed, played, a slept under the stars together. Sora had to admit... these 9 months were fun.

"you gave us 9 months we will never forget, the least we can do is give you something to live for right?" Boze asked with a smile. Sora smiled slightly,

"Thanks," Sora said softly. the group enjoyed the view for some time before heading back to Ishgar, but he first went to go see Irene as she had asked to come to see her.

"you took your time, Zeref wants to see you," Irene said with a smile upon seeing Sora. Jellal, Ultear, and the others instantly froze hearing Zeref's name. it was like lightning sounding across their ear

"what? he wants me to kill him?" Sora asked calmly to which Irene nodded slightly.

"not many could kill someone is who immortal, but you have Natsu power. so, you might be the only thing that could kill him." She said as Sora thought for a moment before agreeing to see Zeref.

Sora soon met with Zeref. Zeref was a young man. He wears high-collared red and tan robes with gold trim, along with a large, flowing white toga draped around his torso. He has short black hair, dark eyes, and abnormally sharp canines. He also wears a pendant, where he keeps a childhood picture of Natsu and himself.

behind Zeref was an old man who carried a staff, looking at Sora with a deep frown. but he didn't say anything.

"you really want me to kill you... it's under one condition. he tells you the truth." Sora said as he looked at the old man behind Zeref.

"what do you mean?" Zeref asked with a frown as he looked at the old man, his name was August, one of the strongest people in the empire.

He also had special magic called Copy. August is lauded as the "Wizard King" due to this particular kind of magic, which he can notably use instantaneously; with it, August can copy, master, and then nullify an opponent's Magic after encountering them. However, he is unable to copy Holder Magic as one cannot use Holder Magic without physically using the required tools

He was different from Sora who could copy holder magic, Sora couldn't nullify what he copied.

August frowned as he looked at Sora, before looking at Zeref who was waiting for him to speak. he was confused about what Sora meant, he had a theory but no one should know of such a thing.

"August, before I kill him. he is allowed to know what he is leaving behind, if he wants to leave after knowing that, then it's all up to him." Sora said as he made some distance between himself and Zeref.

Zeref has special magic called Ankhseram Black Magic. It is a Black Art that allows Zeref to kill any living thing he desires. This Magic seems to be uncontrollable at times, causing it to burst out randomly, killing anything within a certain radius around him. However, when Zeref forgets the value of and no longer cares about, a human life, he can fully control this Magic.

This Magic contrary to the nature of the Black Arts is unable to be learned, as Zeref only gained this curse-like Magic by upsetting the ancient God Ankhseram, who apparently bestowed this upon Zeref due to his making light of the connections between life, death, and people in his race to bring his brother back to life. The side effect of this Magic is immortality and the inability to age.

Sora didn't know how powerful this magic was, he knew there was some item that could perfect a person against this magic. but to be safe he made some distance, this magic also couldn't be learned, so Sora was not worried about coping it.

"... years ago, Mavis gave birth to me, you're my father," August said softly. Zeref's mind went blink before he shot off the seat he was sitting, he looked seriously at August, remeaning that little boy he picked up off the street that day.

August was conceived of Zeref Dragneel and Mavis Vermillion. he was birthed by the fairy tail second guild master, and had immense Magic Power, but was soon abandoned, and frequently stole as his means of survival. August's immense Magic Power granted him the ability to recall memories from his newborn days, which allowed him to learn of his parents and the one who left him to die.

After some years, August ran into his father by chance and became his disciple. Though Zeref never learned that August was his child, he decided that it was for the best, and went on to build a country with him. It was also Zeref that gave August his name, as during his childhood he looked very much like Mavis, which reminded Zeref of the time he spent with her in the month of August. However, due to his father not knowing he existed, August went unloved, wavering between the paths of light and darkness,

"Why did you tell me." Zeref said as he stepped towards August, but stopped as a dark aura suddenly appeared from him. everyone quickly blocked this aura, Sora stepped in front of those who came with him. easily blocking this aura with a deep frown.

'how did I copy his curse.' Sora thought as his eyes shrank, and the curse Sora got was even 10 times better. sure he mastered the curse and could use its power whenever he wish, but Sora was now immortal.

Sora stepped forward towards Zeref, placing his palm on Zeref's shoulder he began enchanting Zeref's body. since he had mastered the curse, he knew how to break the thing. Zeref froze as he felt Sora's action, they stood there for a few hours before the course was destroyed.

"You're also..." Zeref wanted to speak but Sora stopped him before he could continue.

"it's our little secret," Sora said with a smile before he looked at August, he had to copy this guy's special ability.

"I will give you a special magic," Sora said as he held his palm out, raging ice appeared on his flame which August copied upon seeing. Sora also copied him once he did this

"what type of magic is this?" August said in shock, Sora just smiled as he left with everyone he came with. Zeref was no longer an immortal, and he was now immortal. this made Sora leave now, it's not like anyone could poison him or something now.

if he wants today, he will have all his life to come with a way today. he is not like Zeref, unlike Zeref, Sora had a few ways to die.

Little did Sora know that his immortality was even stronger than Zeref, even if he remembered the curse since he was 10 times better. 10 times better was him becoming immortal even without the curse. 10 times better was him having even an immortal soul, and a mind would adapt to such changes.

so, he will not go crazy. but he was almost unkillable now, immortal almost to the extreme. it will be more thousands of years into the future until Sora finds a way to kill himself.
