Chapter 1: Contracts
Lucy opened her eyes, and only found darkness. As she tried to sit up, a wave of nausea flew over her. She took a few deep breaths and found herself able to think again. 'W-where am I?' The girl thought to herself. "…" She tried to speak out loud, but her voice could not be found.
"Let me help you with that," a gentle voice spoke above her. Light surrounded the girl, and healed her wounds allowing Lucy to speak. "W-who are you? Where am I?" Warmth came over her eyes, and she slowly opened them. Light flooded into her vision. Then she saw him. "A-a giant! With… a mustache?" The girl sat in shock. "Hello Lady Lucy. Please do not be alarmed," the mustached man said to her. She gulped and felt a knot of fear lodged into her throat. "My name is The Celestial Spirit King."
"C-celestial? You mean like the ancient legends?" Lucy stared at the King in awe, losing all the fear she had moments ago. "We are no legends Miss," the King spoke to her. "Wow that's amazing! Oh yes. Why am I here?" The girl asked the man, curious. "I brought you here because I felt your sorrow," The King replied. "My sorrow?..." Lucy reached to her chest as her heart tightened in pain. "Yes, you probably don't remember the reason of your pain, but your soul is broken."
"B-broken?!" Lucy sat dumbfounded. "What do you mean I'm broken?" The King sighed heavily, "You have gone through a tremendous tragedy that has affected your soul." The girl nodded, "I-I see…" "A broken soul can disrupt balance, so the universe tries to counter that disruption," he took a long pause. "The soul disappears. Never to exist."
"So… I'm going to disappear?" Lucy muttered as she stared at the ground. "Not necessarily." "H-huh?" She stared at the King in shock. "What do you mean?" He closed his eyes and nodded, "I believe you can do it." "What? Do what?!" She yelled at him. "Please tell me, Celestial King." He sighed, "You can live if you make a contract."
"A contract?" He nodded once more. "Yes. If a contract is made you can live again in the world." Lucy shone brightly after hearing his few words. "Then tell me King, how do I make this contract?" "You must make a wish. A wish that will seal your fate for all eternity. You cannot change your wish after it is made."
"A wish…." Lucy muttered to herself. "I would like to make a wish!"
The Celestial King nodded and entangled the girl in his magic web. "You must complete 1,000 missions in a new land and your soul will be healed. If this is not done, you will disappear into the air. Do not worry, you will be accompanied by the twelve spirits. Now make your wish and live in the new land!"
Lucy nodded and closed her eyes, "I wish…"
MWHAHAHAHA.
I just had to.
Anyway, I hope you enjoyed chapter 1!
Sorry the chapters are so short.
