As a child Erza was enslaved and forced to build The Tower of Heaven. She lost her eye sight in her right eye after being injured while building the tower.

He became influenced by the dark mage Zeref and became evil. After knocking Erza unconscious he sent her flying across the ocean, and forced the free slaves to continuing building the Tower of Paradise again.
After gaining regaining conscious she went looking for the Fairy Tail Guild in hopes of asking them for help. When she arrived at the guild she was welcome in with open arms.
