Lucy was so excited as she held a completely white key in her hand she had gotten it for her birthday from her aunt who had heard she joined Fairy Tail the key had a bow and arrow with a wolf sitting next to it Lucy couldn't have been any happier Natsu noticed
"Lucy why are you so happy?"
"My aunt gave me one of the rarest celestial keys it's a key made of Opal it's a key and the spirits are said to be Gods and goddesses" Lucy said Natsu and Happy were staring at the key with an excited sparkle in their eyes in an instant
"What god what god?" they asked quickly Lucy shrugged
"I'm not sure I've never seen these keys I've only heard of them" Lucy said
"So summon the spirit" Gray said to her simply Lucy nodded and did so out came a young woman she looked to be around their age she had long wavy black hair and a pale skin color she had round, midnight blue eyes she had freckles across her cheeks and was about the same height as Erza she wore a dark blue shirt that only reached her elbows and a matching color mini skirt with black flat shoes she had a bow and quiver of arrows on her back and a necklace with a rose on it
"Wow!" Natsu and happy said together with a starry eyed look the girl giggled a little
"You must be Miss Lucy I've heard much about you" The girl asked Lucy smiled happily she couldn't believe she was known
"How do you know me?"
"Leo speaks quite fondly of you" The girl said to Lucy happily Gray and the others all looked
"Leo?" practically the whole guild asked
"I believe you all know him as Loke" The girl replied everyone understood then it was hard to remember that their once complete ladies' man member had been a celestial spirit all this time
"SO who are you?" Mirajane asked clearing Lucy from getting the spirit upset with her
"I am Artemis, goddess of Hunting, nature and animals" Artemis replied smiling a little
"Shouldn't you have an owl on your shoulder?" Gray asked Artemis closed her eyes it was clear that what he had said bugged her greatly but she slowly shook her head clearly trying to keep her patients
"Shouldn't you be wearing pants?" Artemis asked in response Gray looked down and realized he was once again in his underwear
"Damn it!" he shouted and hurried away Artemis shook her head a little bit now seeming much calmer
"The one he is referring to is Athena and we are nothing alike" she added quickly to them"
"Does Loke miss us?" Happy asked Artemis nodded
"Yes he wishes he could come back he loved having friends like all of you but I'm afraid I am in a bit of a hurry I was actually on my way to visit Loke he's still recovering from being in this world for so long and I've been helping him when I can" Artemis explained she had grown feelings for Leo long ago and loved him very much she had been so upset when the celestial spirit king had made him stay in the human world and had tried to get him to change his mind when she had heard that Lucy had managed to get the spirit king to change his mind and allow Leo to return she was grateful
"Alright well why don't we work up a contract?" Lucy asked Artemis shook her head
"Don't worry Miss Lucy you may call upon me any time you need me" Artemis said smiling at her Lucy blinked she was surprised by the answer she had expected a goddess to be worse than Aquarius and stuck up wanting to be treated like she ruled both the worlds
"Oh alright then thank you" Lucy told her Artemis smiled a little
"I should be thanking you Leo is one of my best friends and I thank you for convincing the king to let him back into the spirit world" Artemis said Lucy nodded smiling a little bit
Artemis was allowed back into the celestial spirit world after the contract was made Artemis smiled and headed to the palace of the lions she just walked in ignoring any and all security she walked straight to Loke's room and sat on the bed next to him he was asleep but she knew he'd wake up soon when he realized she was there sure enough he opened one eye and saw her
"Can I help you?"
"Lucy got my key" Loke sat up and smiled at her
"That's great!" he said hugging her Artemis blushed and hugged him back she hated hiding her love but she wanted to make sure he didn't cheat on her or anything
"So have you spoken to Aries yet?" Artemis asked Loke nodded
"Yeah she came to visit earlier she practically hugged me to death" Loke said Artemis laughed a little bit
"She's so sensitive but she does appreciate you helping her so much even when it cost you so much" Artemis told him Loke nodded
