- I am know as: Erza Scarlet
- You may know me as: The Titania
- What I am: Human (...?)
- My trade: Sword Mage
- The years I have seen: Twenty-Three
- My history: I was imprisoned as a child and forced to help build a tower called the R-system. Over time, I made friends with other slaves, among them was a young boy whom I quickly came to know as Gérard.
I don't know how long we spent in that hell hole; I lost track of the days quickly. One day seemed like a week, a week appeared to be a month... The guards never told us what day it was. The younger children had a game on who could guess the month. The adults there would play along, offering their slice of bread if they answered correctly. No one ever took the bread "won." One of the guards caught us playing this game of ours once while we were working. Talking amongst slaves while working is taboo, and he immediately reported us. When one of the masters came down and demanded to know who made the game, everyone was silent. Rob, an elderly man I looked up as to be my grandfather, had made the game to keep our minds at ease. If he spoke up he would be forced into the punishment chamber. No one ever spoke of what happened there, it was a silent scream for all of us. There was a rumor that the punishments changed every time, that the masters didn't want to get bored. Some of the girls were even...
Gérard stood up and claimed that the idea was his. I still remember everything that happened after that. Everyone looked away from him in mourning, but I, no, I looked up at him and tried not to cry. A guard stepped forward to take him away, but the master stepped forward and grabbed someone else by the arm, pulling them to their feet. From then on, everything is a blur. Gérard's scream to let me go, that I hadn't done anything wrong. Rob's shoulders shook as he cried, his worn hands digging into the dirt ground. Gérard struggled against two guard's hold, fighting to get to me, begging for them not to take me. One of the guards punched him, hard. As I was dragged away I saw him fall to his knees, collapsing to the ground in a defeated heap with his arms around him. The guards followed us as I was dragged away, shaking with fear.
They had a new idea, they said. It would be fun to hear me scream, they giggled. My wrists were tied and bound behind my back, the ropes cutting into my wrists. I was pushed into a chair and tied to it, three ropes around my chest and three for each leg, tying my legs to the chair's legs. I could see a hold in the wall. The ground inside the hold looked like it was on fire, and there were small black stones in it. They stuck a piece of metal into the fire rocks and waited until the tip glowed a bright orange. When they pulled it out I saw that the end was a circle. Then the circle got closer to me.
I don't think I screamed. I don't know what happened after the orange circle touched my face. I remember waking up wet though. I was really cold, shivering alone with no one around me. I sat up when the door opened and someone else was tossed in. Or I thought they were tossed in, but when they started to untie my hands I started to hear the screams. The rebellion had started. Gérard helped me up and out of the cell, but not before tearing the lower part of my dress off and making a bandage for my eye. He told me it would all be okay, that we were going to get off of this island once and for all.
There was so much blood everywhere! Bodies, blood, death...it was hell outside. The guards were overwhelming the other slaves, they had magic, weapons, armor...we had sticks and stones! Some of the slaves could use magic it looked like, but it was easily repelled by the guard's mages. Gérard and I ran out to join them in combat, but I was still weak from my time in the torture chamber. I fell behind, tripping and falling to the ground. I couldn't do anything as a guard fired a blast of fire at me. If I had blinked I would have missed it. One second, there was death flying at me. The next, Rob's back was to me.
I screamed then. A loud, shrill scream. It was the first time I had screamed in the nine years I had been there.
Something clicked inside of me as Rob fell to the ground. I don't know what happened, but I just got so...angry! The numerous weapons on the ground floated around me in a huge circle, and as Rob's last breath left his smiling face, the weapons impaled the guards.
No one really knows how I did what I did, but I became our trump card, winning our battle and setting us free. With the battle won, I went to find Gérard, but he was no where to be found. One of the other slaves told me that they had seen him run to the chambers, and when I got there, I couldn't believe what I was seeing. He was standing in the torture chamber, surrounded by the masters bodies, in a circle of blood. It was creepy...almost as if it was a ritual. I can only remember him turning to me and saying sorry before he rushed forward, and then, blackness...
I awoke several hours later on some shore. I didn't know where I was or what had happened to the others, but laying there wouldn't get me anywhere.
Nine years later, I find myself traveling in search of the others, though mostly in search of Gérard. I don't know what has become of him, or if he is even still alive, but I desperately wish to be reunited with him once more...
Until then, I use my trade to aid others, sometimes for a bit of coin and sometimes for a warm place to sleep. I've heard a rumor about a golden dragon. From the townsfolk, I've heard many things, though the most common two are that it's scales are worth more than a lifes worth of gold, and the other is that, if slain, the beast allows the one who slayed it to have anything their heart desires. It's a stretch, but if I can find the beast, perhaps I can see Gérard and the others again..
My weapon of choice: Unlike most swordsman, Erza is a Sword Mage. She uses a magic called Requip, a type of magic that allows her to swaps weapons and armor at will. Her certain Requip is called, "The Knight," and she is noted for her ability to exquip quickly and is the only sword mage capable of exquipping armor while fighting, earning her the nickname "Erza the Titania."
A little more behind the Fire: When Erza was in the punishment chamber, her right eye was injured and she became blind in her right eye. Two years after escaping, she met a mage named Porlyusica, who created an artificial eye for her. After the procedure, Erza began to cry once she saw it, however she was unable to cry out of her artificial eye.
* The artificial eye can absorb magic that affects Erza's eye.
Easy way to explain this is by giving the example of Erza and Medusa fighting. Medusa's stone eyes would not affect Erza, as all Erza would have to do is close her eyes and fight with only her right eye open.
