Cursed destiny (Fairy Tail x Reader?)

Chapter 19: Past II: Fate

~(y/n)'s P.O.V~

How much time has passed since I was trapped here? How much years have passed since I was taken away from my parents? Even I can't say it with certain. Why? Because I never get to see the faces of my parents.

Since I was born until now, I've always been locked in this room. I never have had the opportunity to live a normal life like other girls of my age and the fault lies with the enormous magical power with which I was born. ¿Infinite magic? I really hate this power, but if losing my freedom can protect all from the attack of the dragons, I don't mind being locked forever in this room who day after day it absorbs my magic energy to keep up the barrier covering city.

Every day was the same, people came to the temple early to make offerings hoping that I'll comply with their wishes. That made me happy, really happy to know that people wanted me and needed me. But then why do I feel this empty inside? Why does it seem like something is missing? I asked myself that evening after everyone had left the temple while tears ran over my cheeks.

"Why are you crying?" I heard a voice coming from the other side of the bamboo curtain

"What are you talking about? I'm not crying" like usually I tried to hide my tears while speaking normally and drying my tears with sleeves of my kimono

"I am aware that you were crying, my smell don't fool me. I asked you a question so you need to answer it. Why were you crying?" I heard him a little angry when he say the latter part while he sat in front of the door of the room.

Should I answer even though I myself don't know the answer? I was really surprised. It was the first time someone asked about my problems, it was the first time someone came without any desire so much that I no longer knew what do in this situation.

"I ... I really do not know. Since I was born I have always been locked up in this place. I never cared that while the people would be safe, but lately I feel like if something is missing and that makes me feel a great void." I replied to him.

"You've never left the temple, right?"

"Yes..."

"Then it should be. You might only want to get out of here and see the world with your own eyes, to know someone you can consider a friend or just you need to know what 'love' is" he answered without hesitation in his voice.

Love? It is the first time I hear about that word. What is love? I wondered as I started to analyze several possibilities. A kind of magic? A strange food dish? Is the title of a book? Maybe an animal? A plant? A type of clothing? If love are those things are, then I do not need it, because the people always brought that kind of objects among the offerings.

"Love?"

"Yes, love"

"What is love?" I asked a little confused

"Love is ... um ... How could I put it to you into words ... let's see ..." let out a big sigh as he tried to find an easy way to explain that word "To be sincere to you, I'm not very familiar with that term but I'll try to tell it to you in the easy way . When you love someone so much that you do not stop thinking about him and want to stay by his side, when you want to drop everything to be with him forever, rest assured that it is love"

"Why do you say that I need love?" I asked him nervous after hearing those words.

"Eh? Well ... that would be because you have always been alone in this temple. You've never seen your parents since you were born, much less to have someone you can also trust. Even you know that you was being used as a mere tool, but you refuse

to accept that fact. Or am I wrong?

"No, you're not wrong at all" I said as I felt my hands shaking.

Everything he had said was true. Since childhood I always wanted to embrace my parents, I always wanted to go out there and make friends, but he never let me. "You're the priestess who protects the entire village. You're not like the other children, you are

special. So understand it at once! " that was the words who the priest always said when I asked for permission to leave the temple. I knew he raised me only to use me as a tool to protect the people because my magic was infinite, but still, a part of me was lying in the fact that he really care much about me and that was why he did not want me to stay away from the temple. A moment of silence took place, the boy had said nothing since I answered and the sunlight began to set. Apparently it was getting dark.

"By the way what is your name?" He broke the silence "Because I do not believe that your name is "Priestess" like all the people call you" he laughs after saying that last.

"(y/n)..."

"Well then (y/n) it was nice talking to you. It is getting dark so I'm leaving" he stood up from where he was.

"Goodbye..."

"Why do you say that as if we weren't going to see again?" He replied angrily as he moved the curtain sharply to enter the room and walk in my direction. I frightened and closed eyes expecting the worst but only felt his arms around me. I opened my eyes only to see that the boy was hugging me "You idiot. Do you really think I would leave you? The reason why I decided to become a dragon slayer was to return the smiles that were stolen by those dragons, including yours"

"See you tomorrow then?" I ask a little nervous.

"Yes, see you tomorrow" he replied undoing the embrace and look into my eyes while one of his hands was placed on one of my cheeks. I looked at him a little confused "You're more beautiful than I imagined. I did not think it would come to exist such beautiful and pure (e/c) eyes like yours"

I blushed at such comment, after all, he was the first person to be with here without it being the priest, in charge of caring me.

"See you then (y/n)" he kissed my forehead and then walk towards the exit. Before leaving, he turned to me one last time. "By the way, my name Acnologia, the God Dragon Slayer. It was a pleasure to meet you (y/n)..."
