Lucy, Natsu, Gray and Erza arrived infront of an old castle. The stone blocks it had been made of were covered by moss. The weather was chilly, because it was early March and the castle was on top of a high mountain.
"It's so cold here", Lucy complained, her teeth chattering against each other.
"Don't complain Lucy. Your rent is the reason we're are here, and you chose this mission after all", Gray said to her. The reward for completing the mission would be 120,000 jewels, which would mean everyone would get 30,000. Before they had gone to see Mr. Toshimoto who had told them about their mission. Team Natsu's objective would be to reclaim a book, which contained information about demons. Very dangerous demons. He had warned them that the thieves were mages of a dark guild. With this information they left to the direction the castle was in.
"I know. I guess this was my own fault for not taking a better set of clothes", she answered with a small smile. Lucy noticed that Natsu was taking a better look at her clothes.
"Waah! What are you wearing Lucy?", he said when he realized what she was wearing. Lucy was wearing a mini-skirt and a long sleeved white and blue jacket.
"I was in a hurry, because you all were ready for this trip much more quickly than I was. In the rush I forgot to change my skirt to trousers". She knew that it was a poor excuse, because everyone else had managed to dress in warmer clothes in a rush too. Since she was angry she decided to hit Natsu, who had fallen on the ground from shock, in the head. She left the others behind, and headed for the wooden double doors of the castle.
When Lucy reached the doors, she summoned Virgo, one of her Celestial Spirits.
"Open the Gate of the Maiden! Virgo!", Lucy called, while swinging one of her golden keys in the air. Virgo appeared from a cloud of smoke.
"Hime, do you want to punish me?", she asked.
Lucy hit her palm against her forehead while she mumbled "No I don't. Would you just dig a hole for me to the other side of these double doors, please?". After Virgo had done this she returned to the Spirit World. Lucy went through the hole and noticed that there was a cart infront of the hole which made it impossible to see this hole from the inner yard. She waited for Erza and the other two to catch up. When they did crawl through the hole, she suggested that they keep a timeout and think of a stragedy.
"Come on Lucy, why can't we go there and just kick their-", Natsu was whining until Erza hit him in the head to shut his mouth.
Erza glared at him, "Natsu shut up! Lucy clearly has a plan, and it would good if a block-head like you would listen carefully".
"This is how we'll progress from now on…", Lucy said in a quiet voice as the Erza, Gray and Natsu gathered around her.
"Now everyone should know the plan. Nod if you remember it", Lucy said in a tense voice. Gray and Erza nodded, but Natsu was scratching his pink hair with a confused look on his face. Lucy sighed heavily and begun from the beginning.
"I will make this as simple as I can, so that you can understand. I will go with Gray through that left door into the tower, and you and Erza will go through the one on the right to the other tower. After you get in start looking for the book.", she said slowly and calmly so that information could sink in.
"Yes I think I got this time. But what was the book's name?", Natsu replied to her.
"Of course you weren't paying attention when Mr. Toshimoto told us the name. Its name is Secrets of the Demons" Lucy told Natsu angrily.
"Time to go", Gray said before Natsu could answer.
Both towers would eventually lead to a central tower, so they decided to meet there. That was also the most likely place for the book to be in. The towers were across the inner yard and it was sunny, so they used the shadows to sneak in.
"Y-you go first", Lucy muttered to Gray. Lucy hated herself, because whenever they were approaching something dangerous she got scared and her legs started to shake.
"You really do get scared easily and we haven't even seen any of the dark mages. What would happen if you got separated from me?" he asked with a smile on his lips. As they were walking forward he continued "But I doubt that would happen". After he finished that sentence Lucy, who was merely few meters behind him, stopped suddenly. Now there were letters forming in the air: You can't go beyond this without defeating me. Both of them staring wide-eyed at the letters. It was rune magic. Lucy heard footsteps from behind and turned to see a person dressed in a black robe.
A clear woman voice said, "So you, young girl, will be my first opponent". The voice was so creepy that it sent shivers through her whole body. Lucy turned towards Gray and spoke reassuringly "You know that runes can't be broken with force so don't even try. I'll come to the central tower when I have finished this battle. You can't help me so go there and find the book. I think this same trap will be on the other side, so Natsu or Erza will join you there. I believe you will face another dark mage there. I will be fine so go. Gray looked hesitant at first, but as Lucy told him once more to go he turned with a 'be careful' and started to run towards the central tower. Lucy turned towards her opponent.
As Lucy had thought the same trap was on the other path where Natsu and Erza were travelling.
"Natsu you must head towards the central tower to find the book. This is rune magic. The same magic that Fried used during the festival. Surely you remember that you couldn't break through it. I will handle this guy here and after I've done that I will come there. You should meet Lucy and Gray at the central tower" Erza explained to Natsu.
"All right. I'll leave this guy to you. Make sure to kick his ass!" he yelled while running to the central tower.
Next chapter will propably come next week.
