Skyrim and Fairy Tail Cross

"Why were you gone for so much longer than us? Why'd you end up somewhere else?" Natsu asked frowning as he looked at Lucy who was sitting at a table surrounded by everyone drinking a beer as Wendy looked her over to make sure her scars healed correctly. Lucy's new friend, new to them at least Tamariel was standing slightly behind and to the right of Lucy ready for any orders from her liege while also watching to make sure none tried to threaten the blond.
"I can answer that." Mavis said appearing before them like she always did. While everyone else jumped startled at her sudden appearance, Lucy didn't even bat an eye. She just continued drinking her beer, which really illustrated how much she had changed. Before she would have jumped and told the First Master not to scare her like that and wouldn't touch beer, but now she didn't even bat an eye and drank the beer as easy as if it were water.
"When Acnologia appeared like he had, for some reason he seemed more focused on Lucy and the Dragon Slayers than the rest of you. Whereas the Dragon Slayers were quite literally raised to be able to handle it, Lucy was not. When I protected you all from that last blast, Acnologia had hidden a smaller blast within it that was aimed right at Lucy. I was forced to split my attention." Mavis said sitting upon the bar and swinging her bare feet like a child.
"By splitting my attention I couldn't focus completely on either group but Lucy was in the most immediate danger and it was coming much faster than the main blast. I had to send her away as fast as I could, which is why I was unable to concentrate upon her in order she got somewhere where she'd be protected and could grow stronger. I sent her to the first place I could find where I could tell she would grow stronger and survive until time to reunite with the guild. Because I had to be quick about it, I couldn't tell where exactly I had sent her nor could I sense any time dilation to make time pass faster there for her than it would pass here for us." Mavis said frowning slightly as she looked at Lucy who looked unbothered by it as Wendy had tears in her eyes from some of the scars.
"Wendy… don't cry. Yes I was injured badly but I survived. I survived and came back so don't cry." Lucy said softly as she pulled the smaller girl close and ran her fingers through the girls hair.
"But I should have been there. I could have healed some of these up so that they didn't leave any scars if I had been there." Wendy said tearfully and making Lucy smile at her fondly.
"I'm fine with the scars I now wear. If there's one thing my time in the other realm has taught me… it's that scars are basically tattoos with better stories and are nothing to be ashamed of." Lucy said gently and making everyone wince slightly, another example of how much Lucy had changed when she had been gone where they couldn't follow. Lucy hated the thought of scars and tattoos other than the Fairy Tail mark before the S-Class trials…and now here she was proudly bearing most if not all of them for any and everyone to see.
"But they had to have hurt you so much." Wendy said tearfully and making Lucy shrug slightly.
"Yeah they hurt. They hurt a hell of a lot but I survived. Honestly after the cuts to my and after being burnt and frozen I barely even noticed some of the other wounds until Tamariel was freaking out because I was bleeding." Lucy said smirking at Tamariel who flushed slightly but didn't look ashamed.
"Of course I reacted strongly my lady. You didn't notice that your stomach had been cut open or that you had several arrows in your body." Tamariel said making the entire guild recoil horrified at hearing that Lucy's stomach had been cut open.
"To be fair I gave those bandits just as bad if not worse. I got back up after all and yet they did not." Lucy said with a rather twisted smirk at that while quite a few eyes widened in horror at the implications.
"A fairy does not kill." Makarov reminded Lucy sternly, earning a wave of dismissal from the girl.
"At the time I wasn't a Fairy. My stamp had vanished when I had awoken in that world. You won't believe how long it took for me to find someone who could tattoo the mark back onto my hand. Speaking of which can I have my mark reapplied if you don't mind?" Lucy asked making Mira look at the Master who hesitated for a moment before nodding slowly. She hadn't broken any guild rules or laws after all…at least not any in this world.
"Where and what color Lucy?" Mirajane asked pulling out the stamper and making Lucy think for a moment.
"Where do I have a clear patch of skin not covered with clothes?" Lucy wondered as she looked down at her body.
"The easier question would be where you have a clear patch of skin at all, my lady. Most of your body was damaged at one point in time or another." Tamariel said casually and making the Fairies wince at hearing that while Wendy whimpered a bit.
"True… ah here's some unmarred skin!" Lucy said finally finding a spot near the junction of her elbow on her left arm. It was right in between a harsh knife scar on her forearm and what looked to be a burn scar on her upper arm.
"Alright. What color?" Mirajane asked even though she looked sick when she got a closer look at the scars on her friends body. There seemed to be several fainter scars crisscrossing underneath the one on her forearm and that's not even counting the faintly seen ones under the burned part of her arm.
"Whatever color the marker decides. As long as it's not pink I don't really care." Lucy said making Mirajane wince as she pressed the mark into the skin and then pulled away to show a pitch black mark with tiny golden and white spots on it like stars in the night sky.
"Huh an almost celestial tattoo. Ironic since I couldn't use my keys a lot in the other world." Lucy said more amused than anything as she examined the new tattoo.
"You couldn't?" Gray asked concerned for the girl he saw as a sister. She almost never fought on her own without a spirit or two to help her!
"It was a different world remember? The gateway to the Celestial spirit realm was different, longer and rougher. It was dangerous to call them out and with all of the dangers in that world it was too much of a risk of them getting hurt." Lucy said making quite a few people relax since it seemed that she wasn't completely different. She still cared more about her spirits and other people than she did herself.
That's when Tamariel caused all hell to break loose with her next words.
"Especially when you were fighting against the dragons my lady. They nearly killed you two or three times and you are literally born to kill them."
