######## Chapter 2 ####
She looks up in the sky when she saw a black bird with her keys at the beak. "Wait! That's my key!" Lucy hurriedly pick up all her silver keys and run to the direction of the bird. Until she lose the site of the bird.
"ok! Silver keys! Lets' save the others!" Lucy picks one of the silver key "Gate of the Compass key. I open thee! Pyxis!" the silver key glow and a weird looking bird came out with compass at its head.
"now Pyxis, tell me where are our friends!" Pyxis start searching the location of the golden keys and the thief bird. The compass on tops of its head spins until it stops. "Good job Pyxis! Lead the way!"
They started walking in the darker part of the forest, when "Rooaarrr!"
"'what's that' she says" Gate of the clock key, Horologium saves Lucy from surprise attack of a big boar. "'Let's get out of here' she says" Horologium start walking away from the boar, that chasing them. "Horologuim! I need to get out' she says" Horologium open himself and lucy rush to the other side and holds her whip.
"Lets' see how strong you are Teddy bear!" she wraps the whip at the neck of the boar and pulls the bear towards her. When the boar stumble in front of her she gets the dagger, a gift from Erza "Any last word Teddy bear!"
"Miss Lucy, that's a boar not a bear" the gate of southern cross key points out through telepathy.
"I don't care grandpa crus. This one looks like asuka-chan's teddy bear after gray and natsu used it as target" poor asuka she can't forget how much the child cried. "don't worry teddy bear I gonna used your fur in fancy way" and she smash the dagger to the head. The handle of the dagger. She is not gray, natsu erza or anyone from guild to kill this, she'll just leave it here and let Capricorn or Loke to take care of it later.
She gets another silver key " Gate of the Canis Minor! I open thee! Nikora!" a weird looking snowman slash bug came out "Okey, plue I please guard this teddy bear until I came back! I trust you to protect our foods ok!"
"Pun~~"
"great! I'll be back!"
Lucy and pyxis continue their search, Horologium already sent back to the celestial words. They end up in the front of a cave "A..are you sure Pyxis?" Lucy feels a magic inside, she doesn't know what it is. But she feels bad about this. She improve her Magic sensor when she discover this at the battle between three tartaros. "um.. you may go now Pyx! Thank you for your assistance"
"Everyone here I go!" Lucy steps inside, the magic gets more heavier and more powerful. How can a simple bird live here? Lucy continue to walk until she slams to an invincible wall. 'what's this?' she touch again the invincible wall, the wall shows some text 'a magic rune huh? But it's black unlick freed's runes which is violet'.
Lucy touch the rune again, ang a black shine text came out
What Am I?
I can be looked through but I'm not a window
I have your eye pressed to me but I'm not a door peephole
I help you see things that are far away but I'm not a pair of binoculars
I'm often pointed at the sky but I'm not a lacrima satellite dish
'A riddle? And who put this one? What will happen if my answer' lucy thoughts so hard for an answer, she don't want to call grandp crux, 'I want him to rest'
"hm.. lets' see, help me see thing from a far..but not a binocular" Lucy think har for an answer "AHH! It's Telescope!" the rune disappear and lucy continue to walks another rune and riddle came out.
These are giant balls of gas
Many light years away
Most are only seen at night
Although one's seen in the day
"tsk.. this is easy.. STAR of course !" lucy jumps when the rune disappear. "this is so much fun, too bad Levi and Freed isn't here, they'll both love this challenge!" she acontnue walking and she ends up with 2 hole in the wall that serves as door, the first door has sun at the top, the other one has moon. She almost call pyxis for direction when another rune shows.
The answer to this will lead you to my nest
What Am I?
I'm spherical but I'm not a soccer ball
I can be full even though I haven't eaten anything
I have craters but I'm not a volcano
I have a dark side but I'm not a dark mage
I can be seen at night but I'm not a star
I affect tides but I'm not the wind
Lucy walks toward the door with moon at the top, the next thing happen is the other side of tunnel-like cave collapse. 'i… I'm safe' she advance until she saw a magical dark wave aiming her. Her eyes widen.
"'thanks horologium.' She says" Lucy looks down, at some point horologium end up at the celling. She saw a big crow.
"Miss Lucy" Granpa crux calls Lucy's attention via telepathy "that crow is a celestial spirit"
"whaaatt!" lucy look at the crow closely, its feather is shiny black, the beak is gold color and the eyes are silver 'what an eyes, so pretty reminds me of stars at the sky'
Lucy summon Lyra mentally. Lyra start singing song and the crow starting to close his eyes. Lucy came out from Horologium. And walks to the crow, based on the books she reads this is the crow celestial spirit, also known as corvus. The trickster, manipulative and mischevious. One of the smartest silver keys.
Lucy touch the feather and the crow opens his eyes "Hi! I'm Lucy, I'm a celestial mage" the crow looks at her. "don't be scraed, I'm only her to get my friends" the crow is tall as her, and gets smaller and smaller 'oh.. so he can change his size, makes sense why I thought he is an ordinary bird' "don't worry I won't do anything"
"you are a celestial mage?" the crow ask, his voice is smoothing. He is now flying and looking at the eyes of Lucy, while Lucy nods as a respond "Celestial mage is so rare now, and you are her to get you friend? Is it the golden keys?" Lucy smiles and nod again "why is the aquarius key is broken?" Lucy gives he crow a sad smile and didn't answer him. The crow look at lucy's eyes and reads lucy's memories. "I see, I don't mind helping you to find her new key"
"really! You'll go with me! That's awesome!" the crow turn into a silver key. Corvus key is unique, the body is silver key but the handle is black with crow picture.
