Chapter 9: … The Moment of TRUTH
~Third POV~
Rushing deeper inside the forest memorizing his original shelter Rou rushed ahead to see it hidden he quickly enters inside seeing Mavis as her gaze looks at him and rushed towards him for a hug.
When she hugged him, she gripped tightly feeling that Rou managed to survive hiccupping of his safe return trembling, "Rou… you-u made it… I was so-o worried that… that something bad happened and –"
Before she could speak more Rou returned a hug back tightly calming her as even, he was shaken up by the events today reassuring themselves, "I came back as promised… I refused to leave you. And I came just as promised…"
The two held each other together as they finally let go Rou closed off the entrance with his Alchemy of Reconstruction as he goes towards his person taking out flint and stone with a nearby troche lighting it up.
*Fzzzz*
With fight acting as their light Mavis followed closely behind Rou they hold hands as he talks to Mavis in a quiet tone, "Mavis I bet you have many questions now but for now how about we do leave that for another day… but…"
*Splash*
Holding in his tears as they began to fall off Rou's face Mavis understood immediately what was happening as she held in her tears but couldn't because of what was happening in Tenrou Island as they began to finally reach the innermost part of Rou's private shelter.
Stored books, packaged food, fruits, sheets, beds, and trees he planted to create oxygen along with some hidden holes to breathe underground Mavis looks at the shelter wondering why Rou made it but when her mind wanders towards what was happening it clicked in her head to why…
Doubt entered her mind but with everything Rou did for her, she gave him the benefit of the doubt waiting for the chance for him to explain another day as he saved her life.
Mavis wasn't aware she would've been fine if she fled on her own but how would she know the future as the present by Rou's actions she considers him a valuable friend in her time of need and will believe his words just wanting the madness outside to end.
Going towards their respective beds they could only cry for the night silently waiting for the chance for the Blue Skull mages to finally leave as the two both settle their own grief in their own way.

~Rou POV~
Turning around on my makeshift bed I couldn't help but not sleep after what happened today looking at my hands wobbling at my first human kill.
The screams and pleas for help still ring in the back of my head along with the guilt however, I push them aside because the reality is, I'm a kid.
A kid that knows alchemy along with a Philosopher Stones that could do something but couldn't because the chances of me dying against multiple opponents of different sets of power would more than likely get me killed if I tried to play the hero…
The mere thought makes my stomach sick, but I did what I had to do to survive and went ahead to save Mavis despite me knowing she would be fine and yet did so without hesitation to get her to safety…
I really have changed over the course with her…
But if I didn't though would things be the same or different…
No.
Shaking my head I will do what I can to help her as to not leave it up to fate to decide and follow the plot… for now at least.
But just for this case though I need to wait until we finally encounter Zeref to teach us Magic and considering he's been in this world the longest along with Acnologia he would probably know a lot of Lost Magic and hopefully, the one I need…
However, before that though…
Turning around slowly approaching Mavis I see she's knocked out cold probably tired from the Blue Skull members attacking Tenrou Island and by than them no survivors taking the orb along with them.
My parents and everyone I knew…
Sigh…
No Rou.
The attack already happened on my way to Mavis there was no way I could've warned or saved and gone back for Mavis at the same time without revealing how though.
Shaking my head I began to take out my close encounter rewards for confronting the Blue Skull Wizards from my pockets away from Mavis…
The Philosopher Stones.
The ultimate power booster to alchemic abilities and bypass biological changes to the body needed to make everything work out in the end at the cost of using live human souls for them to be used up like batteries.
Despite being this small I can tell by looking and feeling the alchemic power of the soul of the WIzards it can boost my abilities call it my instinct telling when I look at the stone…
With this, I just got what I need to be sure I can make a deal with TRUTH or GOD of Alchemy but for that, I need to pay a Toll from using my own body or use the Philosopher Stone in my place to bypass entering the Gate of Truth.
Time to use this philosopher's stone would make things quick.
But first the magic.
And who else would donate more than Mavis Vermillion arguably one of the strongest Mages in Fairy Tail?
Carefully taking in one strand of hair from Mavis's DNA containing the genes needed to make myself have Origins in my body might as well fuse them to have the best chances of becoming a strong Wizard.
And who else but the First Master of Fairy Tail to help provide me the means of obtaining the same biological Magic Power potential as her?
*Zzzz*
Alchemic power flashed over me in an instant with the intent of adding my biology of Mavis DNA entering inside of me while going over the anatomy changing it to fit my genetic DNA with the addition of changing the code to fit my body needs.
In a blink, I was deconstructed and reconstructed all at once instantly as I blink lightly at the Philosopher Stone wondering if it really added what I wanted getting Origins that are the same as Mavis.
Hmm…
If I remember correctly…
In the Fairy Tail ZER0 Arc, Zeref said to Mavis and her friends that you need to concentrate to get Ethernanos magic particles in your body, then you can train and eventually be able to wield magic!
That's how Yuri, Warrod, Precht, and Mavis can perform magic!
Guess I have to see and find out…
Focusing the magic on the air I began to try and concentrate to get the Ethernanos into my body…
Whew…
…
Wait…
I think…
Feeling something near my chest I didn't know if this was it or not, but I can certainly feel something enter my body as I couldn't help but smirk thinking this is really magic.
I couldn't be sure now…
Maybe Mavis could help once she figures out her Illusion Magic by teaching herself of course or…
Well…
I mean technically I could always reconstruct the Red Lizard Guild for their knowledge but a part of me disagreed because of the fact I hate those guys.
I know I'm being irrational here but after hearing the crap they did to Mavis mistreating her or hardly treating her right fuck that guild.
Although I shouldn't consider anything right at this moment since I myself am not in a very good state of mind to determine such actions maybe after I have cool off from what happened I'll try to repair the Wizard Guild…
But I'm getting off-topic though…
With the stones, it's time to meet HIM.
Now was the time to meet GOD or TRUTH to any FMA fan that knows this.
The Gate of Alchemy also called The Gate of Truth, The Portal, and most commonly The Gate is a metaphysical and possibly metaphorical structure and is the source of alchemical knowledge and the entrance to God's domain, where no mortals are meant to tread.
But what I'm going to do is need to get knowledge of alchemy to help me.
Fortunately, enough as an anime fan I know in the series there are a few ways of meeting God.
According to the series, the Gate can only be opened using three different methods:
Using Human Transmutation to cross into God's domain.
Activating the proper Transmutation Circle on the body of an infant, as infants do not have a strong bond between mind, body, and soul and are, therefore, closer to the nature of the Gate.
Sacrificing a human or Homunculus in the proper Transmutation Circle.
However, I'm using the first method to do it as I already began to draw the human transmutation circle with the two Philosopher Stones in my hand at ready to pay the toll opening the Gate of Truth.
Truth is cunning and merciless but fair and wise.
It believes in the upholding of alchemy's laws and rules by any means necessary and disobedience of them results in harsh punishment. Truth always does what it believes is fair in trade and will forcefully take from offenders.
Truth holds no bias, options, or prejudices as it sees all who break the rules of alchemy as equal in their offenses and thus receiving equal punishment by losing what they value. Truth shows no favorites for victims and no mercy or exceptions.
Despite his ruthless personality, Truth is trying to uphold the laws that bind the universe and thus punishes any trying to perform acts that cannot happen.
As shown in the end however, it is shown that Truth's brutality has a reason: It wants to teach humans that alchemy isn't everything, that alchemy can in fact be devastating and crippling to those who are not good enough, that they mustn't let themselves get arrogant no matter how genius they may be, to learn to accept life and death as it is and to continue on with their lives via the loved ones they still had.
While it brutally punishes those, who tried to acquire his power, it is fair enough to actually give them the knowledge and power they wished in exchange for the punishment.
Finishing drawing the transmutation circle I began to pray for this and hope for the best.
Seeing the shadowy tendrils getting near me as I see the gate of EYES OF GOD in the center I was being dragged in and prepared for the worst with me offering up the weak Philosopher Stone along with it.
And then I vanished.
/////
Traveling through a black void I managed to see the Gate as it opens up to reveal a singular eye and shadows of arms began to come near me as I let it happen as I see the 'TRUTH' of alchemy before my very eyes learning everything and the methods involved in the process of bypassing the Transmutation Circle and more…
The body and the soul are connected to one another by the mind a portion of its body now hurtles towards the portal of truth so there's no point in struggling I have to let my mind guide me into the portal.
Ensuring I memorize it to what I can be of use as I was dragged further inside I offer up the Philosopher Stone as it takes it as payment for the Toll to enter inside the Gate of Truth further and further inside…
Nearing the end of this freefall sensation I see a Gate way then next came a flash of white along with the sounds of doors closing…
