"...Ugh, where am I?" Luka wakes up from his 3 days slumber.
"Oh! You're awake. How are you feeling?" Mirajane says still worried on his condition.
Luka would look at the approaching woman and looks at his surrounding. It was something like a patient room.
"Ah, I'm feeling fi-uunh!" He would feel his body like tearing apart and his right arm was in immense pain, but only for a moment. "Not as fine as I hope so... Is this what Aunt Mikaela was talking about?"
"Then you should rest a bit more then, let me brought you some warm soup" She would leave until Luka called out to her midway.
"Ah, where is this place exactly?"
"Oh sorry, I forgot to tell you. You're in the guild of Fairy Tail at Magnolia Town. Let me call the guild master to tell you about it." She would continue to leave through the door.
"Fairy Tail? Magnolia? Where the hell am I? There's no place named like that as long as I remember... Ugh!" His head would a massive headache and he remembers something.
"If people forgot their God, and don't require one any longer... Then what would I be? What reason does a Goddess need, if they she isn't wanted? A world that needs no God... I can't allow that..."
"...This reminds me when I spoke to Alice. When I was obsessed with the idea of what it meant being a 'Hero' and Alice was tied up with what it meant to be a 'Monster Lord'..."
"The meaning of my existence was wrapped up in the thought of being a 'God'. Was it all a mistake...?"
"If you wanted to be a God, there was no reason to rule with force... Simply watching over would've been enough."
"...Luka, look at your hand."
"...Yes, I know. I knew before this battle started this would happen." He would look at his hand, already turning into pure holy energy. His body is slowly being eroded away, and in turn being covered with the pattern of the Angel Halo. The price of using all of those power.
"My existence will fade... But I have just a little power left... With the last of it... I'll stop the erosion of Holy energy on your body."
"You... Will help me?"
"In the end, I want to do something God-like... Congratulating the Hero who saved the world... That's a duty a God should perform..."
"Illias..."
But then... The world was shaken once again. But this time, the magnitude was much larger than their clash. The heaven and earth was shaking violently, not stopping anytime soon.
"You! What are you! Did you did this?"
"Illias? What is it?" It seems that only Illias could see what it was and Luka see that she is sweating, trouble. Which makes Luka ready his stance, but couldn't. He's powerless right now.
Then, Illias would quickly take me to her side as Luka would feel the 'force' of something unknown to him would grab his cape. It seems Illias saved him.
"What do you want with him?" Fury would be seen on her face.
"W-what the...? Illias what is it?" Illias would ignore him and her face would focus on the 'being'
"...Behind?!?!" As she says that, she would exchange places with Luka.
Her Stomach was pierced and blood would be seen where the piercing was done and she would cough up more blood.
"L-luka..."
"Illias, n-no. What is it? Please tell me, let me help you!"
Illias would smile and look at him just realizing who Luka is. It feels like time would have stop between them. The son of Lucifina, her second ever creation after Mikaela. Her first ever grandson. Tears would swell up in her eyes, how could she ever be that horrible to her own grandson. The journey he took must be horrible.
As tears and blood would continue to flow from her eyes and mouth, they would drip down to Luka.
"Luka... my sweet, s-sweet, grandchild." She would grab his head closer to her where both of their forehead would meet. "I'll put you somewhere save... I-in a world different from t-this... And remember, _______________"
Light would cling to him. It was warm and soft... Like how her mother would embrace him when he was little.
...
"Young'un, are you there?" Makarov was holding Luka on the shoulder. Luka eyes is full of tears flowing through his face.
"...huh? Y-yeah, sorry. I remembered what happened..." He would wipe his tears.
"That so? You got me worried there. I called you multiple times, but you weren't responding. So how are you doing now?"
"Ah... Not as good as I hoped, but I can still fight."
"Haahh... You shouldn't be thinking about fighting but focus on recovery right now." An exasperated sigh was heard.
"Sorry... But I truly am fine. Physically anyway. The rest are spiritual harm, like this hand of mine. It would take a long time to recover from my erosion... A few decades probably, unless there's something that can help me recover."
"That so? Hmm... What were you doing anyway to have to push yourself like that?" Then the door would open and Mirajane would enter with a bowl of soup.
"Oh... Thank you! And to answer your question.... I was defending my home from a war...."
"War? What war, son? As far as I know there's no sort of war anywhere."
"Well... You might not believe me, but... I come from another world. That's why you wouldn't know any."
The both of them would look at each other in skepticism.
"You sure? It's hard to believe, especially you have just woken up."
"Master! Can't you say that in a nicer way?" She would be angry at Makarov which makes him nervous.
"Hahaha... Well, I don't blame you. If I'm in the same situation as you I also wouldn't believe myself. But I'll stand tall on my answer. Either way, thanks for having me here. Also, can I ask you on how this world works?" Luka would look to the both of them with determination in his eyes.
They both would still be skeptical of him but obliged anyway. They would tell him about the world of Fairy Tail and they would ask him about his world. They would continue to exchange stories, there's even times where Luka would be embarrassed on how his world works since it's quite vulgar but continue on.
"Wow... Can't believe there's a world like that... I would happily live there hihihihi~"
"MASTER!" She would push Makarov away, making him fall from the bed.
"Gunununu... Mirajane, my back is acting again because of you! Ehem, I would believe you for now since you don't seem to be lying. Though, I still can't believe you're 17 years old with how small you are Mr. Hero~"
"S-stop that! That's my naive self okay. Anyway, can I ask you to keep my sword away for now? Knowing with how magic works in this world, my Angel Halo would be really dangerous in this world as you also know why."
"Hmm... You sure, young'un? We're strangers you know. What if my guild misuse that sword?"
"From what I hear, your guild aren't like that. Besides, I'm planning to join your guild after hearing your stories about your guild. Sounds like a charming place to stay"
"Haha, great! Then I'll leave the rest with Mirajane. Oh! If you can walk, you might want to go outside. There's gonna be a big spar today between our strongest guild member" With that, He jumped out of the bed and leave the room.
"So where do you want the mark to be on?"
"Hmm... Let's go with left side of my shoulder, I usually don't wear clothing that would hide that part so people would know where I'm from."
"Nice reasoning, how about the color?"
"Let's go with the same color of my hair"
"Alright, please stay still..." She would carefully hover the stamp beside Luka's shoulder and press on it firmly. "And there we go, all done~"
"Thanks! Hmm?..." He would close his eyes as he feel his body is being supplied with mana, but a different kind he's used to. Nevertheless, he still is being re-energized from it. "I see, so this is how mana felt from another world..."
"Is it really that different? Let's talk about that later, we should go and see the sparring match. It's gonna be good since it's between our two strongest mage! And welcome to Fairy Tail~"
Luka nods and they both would leave the room.
