Ok this is the first spirit in this little group of stories, they will come in no particular order, and hopefully there will be one for each of the spirits, although i may have to wait for the final two spirits to be revealed before then. Most likely these stories will be released in threes. each one is going to give a little insight into the lives of the celestial spirits that Lucy uses, cause they are one of my favourites parts of the manga. So please enjoy, and lets start with the latest, Capricorn.

Capricorn

It had been a while since Zoldeo had last summoned capricorn, he was ready to face whatever danger his master faced, But something troubled him. Zoldeo, or Master as he now liked to be known had been summoning him less due to his increasing skill in human suboordination magic. This was not neccessarily a problem, but the few times he had been summoned. The last time had been amongst a Dark guild, Capricorn had attacked the moment he had seen their surroundings, quickly incapacitating dozens of the enemy mages. Expecting his master to join him in battle he had been surprised when he found himself pinned to the floor by his masters other summons. Zoldeo had forced his gate closed and sent him back to the spirit world, and now he waited and worried. What had happened to his master. a day later by his guess he felt the pull of his golden key once more and stepped quickly through the gateway into earthland. His Master was once again surrounded by Dark guild members, but this time Capricorn held back his attack, he wanted answers.

"you summoned me master"

All around him he could hear the dark laughter of the mages, some of whom he recognised from the previous day. None of them were particularly impressive, but sat on a throne risen above the rest of them was a man of power, of this Capricorn had no doubt.

"You spirit are indeed powerful to incapacitate so many of my mages, indeed with your power under his control Zoldeo would make a fine addtion to my kin"

Capricorn felt a rush of anger at the mans words. His master would never join a Dark guild.

"but that presents a problem, you're power will not belong to Zoldeo much longer, soon you will be obligated by your word to aid the Heartfillia girl"

His anger was quickly replaced by surprise and he couldn't stop the name of his former summoner slipping over his lips. He turned to Zoldeo who looked upon him full of scorn.

"Master why did you not tell me that Layla had a child? why keep this from me?"

Just the thought of his previous owner left Capricorn feeling a rush of emotions that had been buried for a long time. It wasn't love as Leo had often teased, and it wasn't simple respect as Virgo had suggested. He couldn't find a word to describe his bond, but it was there.

"Because the girl is not deserving of your power Capricorn, now break your contract with Layla and join me permanently, with your power and mine Hades will accept us into the ranks of the most powerful guild there is"

Letting loose a snort of anger capricorn took his stance

"Fine then i'll simply take it for myself"

Within a second Zoldeo summoned several of his knights spears raised high to attack

"this will not be master"

with one sweeping movement the knights were knocked aside by capricorns attacks. In panic Zoldeo summoned Hero of Rubengard, San Jiao Shin, the wicked dragon spear was a dangerous weapon but not enough to stand before one of the most powerful spirits of the Zodiac. It pained Capricorn to fight his old master, but he had clearly ventured down a dark path, one that Capricorn couldn't save him from. after a few frantic moments of fighting all zoldeo's summons lay defeated, and Capricorn stood over his master.

"I will take my key back now Master"

with a cry of frustration Zoldeo tried to force the gate closed. This time however Capricorn stood his ground and shrugged of the attempt. Reaching out his hand Capricorn took the key and turned his back on his master.

"Very good spirit, but a being as proud as you should not be bound to masters or keys, kill him, and join my kin, I will allow you to escape the bonds of the celestial kingdom"

The man on the throne was the one who had spoken. Despite the danger of this mans power Capricorn smiled

"you are a big a fool as my master, no spirit would willingly take the life of the mage holding his or her key, even one who turned from his path like my master, and I certainly have no desire to join a guild that reeks of such darkness"

Many mages in the crowd shared worried glances, nobody had dared to speak to Master Hades like that in a long time.

"You aren't leaving Capricorn, your power is mine, if you won't give it then i'll take it!"

Capricorn felt the familiar flow of magic, but the warning on his lips was too late. Zoldeo reached out with his human raise magic to take control of Capricorn, but the old spirit knew it wouldn't work. Both Master and spirit felt a surge of pain, and Capricorn lost track of sensation for a while, when he could focus once more Hades stood before him, but his master was nowhere in sight.

"Interesting, what has happened now i wonder"

Caprico tried to answer, but found his body refusing to move the way he wanted it. His head moved on it's own and soon he was looking down upon Hades from his full height, Worse was that his mouth had begun to move on it's own.

"You said you wished for the powers of Capricorn and myself, well now you have both in one place, I will take my place among the kin"

hades let out a laugh that contained no trace of the emotions that should be in a laugh. no happiness or joy. Ignoring the sound Capricorn focused and soon found himself face to face with zoldeo deep inside their mind

"Not what i had planned, but your power is mine Capricorn, as it should be"

Zoldeo was little more than a shade in front of him, but Capricorn could not fight free of the magic that bound him inside his own mind. Giving up on fighting he sat down and folded his legs, and took a position of meditation that he had learnt from Layla.

"Clearly I was not enough to keep you from a dark path master, perhaps here I can be of more use that i was as a seperate being, if you wish to give up this path, you know where to find me Master"

With that Capricorn made a slight effort of will and disappeared from Zoldeo, keeping just close enough to be aware of his surroundings. Little did Zoldeo know that the pact he made with Layla was more than just words. His pact would draw him to her daughter, sooner or later, he just had to wait.

After the time gap in the manga this was the sort of vibe i got off Cparicorn. a calm sort of spirit, patient and loyal, hope you enjoyed, next up is Taurus
