"Hey Layla, there's a girl here to see you, she says her name is Lucy. What do you want me to do with her?" Kieske Varian, a tall man with fair skin, black hair, blue eyes, and wore a basic t-shirt and jeans every day with an open hoodie, called to her from the front entrance of the guildhall.

"Oh, it's alright, I'm coming." She called and got up, she walked to the entrance and there stood her little cousin, Lucy Heartphilia. "Lucy dear, why didn't you tell me you were coming girl!" She said happily and they hugged each other smiling. "Well what brings you to Abyss Angels?" She asked and Lucy pulled out something from her bag she had over her shoulder and handed it to her. "Hm? What's this Lucy-chan?" She asked and Lucy smiled happily.

"It's a Celestial Spirit Key, I bought it thinking of you, it's a perfect match for the other keys possess. It's a key similar to mine; it's the key to The Canis Minor, Nicola, I have mine right here, his name is Plue." Lucy said and looked down at the miniature snow-man like spirit; Layla smiled and took the key, hugging her little cousin.

"Thank you Lucy, I'll form a contract when I get home, oh yeah, how's the other spirits doing? Is Leo, or Loki, doing fine, I heard he just returned to the spirit world again?" Layla asked quietly and Lucy had a face that told Layla to not remind her of that. "Anyway, how do you like it at Fairy Tail? Are they treating you well? How about food and a place to live? Are you sure you're fine Lucy-chan?" Layla asked searching her over but she looked fine.

"Yeah I'm totally fine you don't have to worry Layla, honestly, beside I've met a lot of new people lately and in fact I've teamed up with the one who saved me and brought me to Fairy Tail." Lucy said defensively but smiling nervously, "Oh yeah, his name is Natsu Dragneel, he's a Dragon Slayer, but everyone outside the guild calls him Salamander." Lucy said matter of factly and Layla's eyes went wide.

Tears streamed Layla's face and Lucy looked shocked, "…..Natsu….. Dragneel …." Layla said through her tears and she cried into her hands softly, "So … he's alive… thank god….. Igneel…" Layla looked up to the sky still crying, "So you truly have disappeared… leaving Natsu like that is pretty selfish don't you think? But he's grown up splendidly… you truly have a great son…. Igneel." Layla said and Lucy was dumbstruck, she asked what she meant by that and Layla wiped away her tears, "I've met Igneel once, when Natsu was off doing something for him, I had to leave early though because Natsu came back, but I've been able to hear Igneel's voice, and many other dragon's voices ever since I was attacked by that black dragon, Acnologia. I absorbed his power when he blasted me, and now for some reason dragon voices come to me, they ask how they're children are doing, but Lucy-san, you mustn't tell Natsu or any other Dragon Slayers. It's really sad though, have you ever wondered where those fallen stars end up at? I mean, they can never go back once they've fallen, being a star way up there… is like a double edged sword don't you think?" Layla said looking out just as a shooting star streaked across the sunset, "Well Goodbye Lucy-chan, I'll see you later." Layla told her sadly and hugged her, she saw her little cousin off smiling and when she was gone Layla fell onto the wall of the guildhall, panting and she looked at her left hand, it started to disappear and it reappeared. "Damn….. I don't have much time….. Please Ryousuke… I just need some more time and then I'll disappear for good…. I promise." Layla said and she collapsed, Kieske rushed over to her and tried to wake her up, the guild master told him to take her to the clinic through a door under the stairs.

Her name was Layla Kamiko, she had shoulder-length light crystal blue hair with hair longer under it that was a light crystal pink, she had really light crystal blue eyes, she wore a leotard that showed a lot of skin, a cool almost web-like pattern on the stomach that was white for the top part, blue on the middle then white again. She also wore a belt of light pink that had light pink chains attached to it that went around her breasts and met in the middle of a light blue chocker and it had light pink shoulder armor. One sleeve on her right arm that went a bit past her elbow that was light blue, and an elbow-length glove with a floral pattern on the ends, light blue mini shorts, a white floor-length sort of loin cloth that was a bit torn at the end. Layla had light blue metal twisting around her upper legs and ending just past her knees, shoes with a light blue base and light pink straps twisting up her ankle from the middle of her foot. She carried a scythe that had a light blue handle and a light pink blade on her back, a staff with a light blue handle and a light pink crystal ball on the end she always carried in her right hand, a small gun with a light pink hand and a light blue barrel on her left hip on her belt. And she also carried a sword with a light pink handle and a light blue blade on her right hip, in her hair she had a light pink crown-type thing, light pink eye shadow, and she also had tattoos on her body and a scar across her face diagonally. Layla is an s-class member of the legal guild that is a woman's only guild except for the employees, all of the employees are men, Abyss Angels, and every one of the members hold a painful past, all have either been rejected by everyone, or have had lost their family.

Layla however, is a special exception; something not even one soul knows about her, is that she is actually a Celestial Spirit, her stellar spirit name is Angelina of the Abyss, meaning that she is a spirit that controls the darkness and is the embodiment of the guidance of the stars. 5 years ago, in the year X779 she killed her owner, though not directly she caused his death indirectly, she stayed in the human world for 8 months from her own power and endured excruciating pain, all to save her friend Aries, one of the Twelve Zodiac gates. Back then she wore a bikini-type top that was black with gold straps, also she wore gold short shorts with a sort of half skirt that started at her side and was floor-length and it was black. She wore gold sandals and carried with her the same type of staff she has now but it was black with a gold crystal ball and also her hair was black and much longer, and her bangs were gold, and her eyes were a lovely gold too. After 8 months her owner, Ryousuke Jiromaru, died on a job, she knew he shouldn't have taken it, and he didn't listen to her or the master of Lamia Scale, he thought he was powerful enough to summon another spirit with Layla, or Angelina, still in the human world. He died on the job; Jura Nekisis, one of the ten great saints and a member of Lamia Scale, came to the abandoned church and told her, Layla screamed and punched a crater into the floor, she cried and cried, she didn't like Aries being abused by him and she was also being abused, but she could handle it, since she was Angelina of the Abyss, the 2nd most powerful stellar spirit besides the stellar spirit king.

"I just wanted him to realize that he was wrong! That we Stellar Spirits aren't just tools; we have hearts, feelings, and emotions! Ryou…. Why?! Why did you have to die? All I wanted was for you to terminate the contracts between me and Aries, why did it have to come to this?" Layla yelled crying to Jura as she knelt there with her fist to the ground, she screamed to the sky in sadness, guilt, grief, and sorrow.

"The master told him not to take the job, but he did anyway, and he paid the price for his arrogance. Angelina, what are you going to do now?" Jura asked and Layla looked up at him, kneeling on the ground with tears streaming down her face.

Layla sniffled and wiped her tears away, "I'm leaving, although I don't know where, I'm going somewhere else but here, sorry Jura-dono, tell the master that I'm off to bury my guilt, I'll come by for a visit in about a year or 2. Take care of yourself Jura." Layla said and left Lamia Scale, she cut her hair and gradually it turned to a light blue and light pink, she changed her clothes to her current one and over time tattoos appeared on her skin, representing different guilds she'd been in.

She came to be an independent wizard a few times and tried to drown her guilt by hanging around with her followers, they all followed her, and she picked up guys and dated them for a while then dumped them. Even though she hung out with guys and laughed and drank, she was always followed by the lingering guilty feeling of killing Ryousuke, therefore she was banned from the Stellar Spirit World for all eternity. Layla woke up and sat up, looking around her, she sighed and got up, went out into the guildhall and drank more, the master, Master Goro talked to her about a mission and she declined, saying she wasn't taking any more jobs. Layla got up and told the master straight out that she was quitting the guild, she then disappeared, removing her guild insignia and she went to Lucy's house, leaving a not saying she quit her guild and told her that this was goodbye for good. Layla stood there at the grave of her former master, Ryousuke, and looked passed it, to the beautiful sunset, Lucy spoke up behind her and Layla looked back at her surprised.
