My english is very bad, I hope you'll forgive me that || I am a very big fan from animes, mangas and manhwas like Fairy Tail, Noblesse, Yuri on Ice, Akatsuki no yona... The list would be too long, if I would list them all. || Some time ago I dared to write fanfic. || Great thanks to Pandora-Twist for the support with the translation!
“Sorry…,” Tao presses out. M-21 says nothing and keeps walking. He walks, and concentrates on Tao’s haggard breath and the nails dig into his neck and shoulders. They are immaculately filed, yet painful like the ends of a wolf’s fine claws.

"I do not understand." Tao tried to calm the situation. "It certainly was not our intention to offend you somehow."
"It's my fault venerable mother," the Fee'rich intervened now. "I knew what they were looking for and have seen it before, but I did not realize it was one of them."
The Old Fairy raised her hand and silenced her companion. "I understand. Nobody saw it, nobody knew. You both seem very young," she calmly turned to Tao and Takeo. "And you magicians, you must have a pure heart. Keep it safe, because it has become rare these days."
"I ... thank you?" Tao did not know how he should react differently.
"Young and inexperienced. I forgive you and your companion because you do not know." The old eyes looked over at the demon. "Sit down and let us talk. It will be unconscious for some time." At her words, a murmur went through the assembled fairies and now finally came in motion again. The two human realized that they must have been waiting for their mother to tell them how to deal with them.
"Can we stop calling M an IT“? He is a friend of mine. Kind off." Tao and Takeo sat down slowly. Takeo kept a precautionary eye on the fairies, now that he realized that this people also considered the possibility of attacking them.
"I'm sorry to hear, but I want to explain it to you." The Fairy points with the stick at M. "You will not find a heartbeat, because in this chest beats no heart."
"What? The blood …"
"Blood, yes ... but no heart that drives it, no soul that holds it. Only dead meat and magic. Shaped to serve as a tool." The fairy sighed and a veil of sadness descended upon her as she spoke again. "Long ago, when our forests were still unbroken, I had made friends with a fairy. She was warm, always laughing and her wings ... ah her wings! They were so different from the ones I knew. We did not know where she came from and to which cord she must have belongs. But we thought nothing of it. The war with the magicians had flared up and many lost their homelands and homes during this time. Why should it not be the same this time? We did not notice her aura. We first realized that something was wrong when human invaded our forest and our tree was burning. Oh, I remember screaming at her. Why she betrayed us, why she helped humans invade our home. But her eyes were empty."
The old fairy cupped her staff tighter. "At that time, the magicians found a way to create something that resembled a magical being. A doll made of flesh and magic. Who only seemingly have a free will. They called it golem and smuggled them up by the hundreds in our forests."
"A doll?!" Tao clenched his hands into fists, desperately trying to get it. "I ... M is a demon. I have summoned him! He also quarreled with me all the time."
"A demon, human call all magical beings they do not understand, and golems are so called too." The fairy pityingly looks at the confused Tao. "My girlfriend also argued and laughed with me. But golems have no soul. When they are created, the magic in their body forms into something that resembles a soul but is not. They only experience emotions for as long as their creator allows them. I understand that you find it hard to believe, but mages can only summon items and that is why you could summon it."
"Then ... is he just an item for you?" Takeo points to M. "As far as I know, he helped you too without being ordered to! Does not that mean anything? "
"It means something and that's why I have not taken any action," the fairy replied, her tone sharper now. "Even my girlfriend meant something to me and I meant something to her! But it did not mean anything to her creator!" The pain in the fairy's voice was hard to miss. "Golem feel true emotions, real suffering. But as soon as you take control of them, everything will be wiped out. My girlfriend's love for me may have been so great, it did not count at the end."
Tao stared speechless at the fairy. His brain refused to even understand what this old woman had just told him. "M was ... terribly angry when I summon him, he tried to kill me immediately. I thought it was because of the mistake I began."
"Maybe," the fairy nodded to Tao, "I suppose it wanted to kill you before you extinguished his nature." The fairy frowned thoughtfully. "Such golems are the most painful. They cause the most tortures in our hearts. When we are forced to destroy lifeless flesh that has begun to live. Very, very often it became murder."
"How many are there?" Asked Takeo in a husky voice. He had heard from Tao some stories about magicians who committed atrocities on magical beings and also experienced ones himself. To hear that you even go so far ... "How many golem's are there?"
"The knowledge of their creation was lost centuries ago. After the mages achieved what they wanted, they did not create any new golem's and only a few passed on the knowledge. "The old fairy points to M That's why I'm very worried about it. There should be no Golem's anymore. Should."
"Could he not derived from ancient time?"
"Impossible. Golem's decay with time. At some point, even the magic in them can not prevent them from rotting. It ..." the old woman glanced into Tao's face and took pity. "He can not be that old yet."
"That means …"
"This means that at least one magician walked in this world, who dominates this abominable skill. It will only be a matter of time before the innocent are deceived again."
When Raizel woke up, he found himself at the bottom of the ocean. He gathered as much; it was hard to misplace the immeasurable weight of the water, of the world pushing onto his very being, the cold, soundless darkness all around him.
