I'm back with another chapter! :D

Seriously, I'm surprised to see this fic get 10 reviews! I didn't think this will get more than 3! I'm happy now :D

All right, this chapter will explain more about what The Sinistrals is, and will move a bit. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: Still, I don't own Fairy Tail, it's character, and the plot. Hiro Mahima owns the first two, Masahide Miyata owns the last. Maybe I'll try to bribe them somaday? hehe...


PREVIOUSLY ON LAST CHAPTER

"We have to go back to our room now! We've seen enough!" Amon said.

'Last chance, huh?' Erim said inwardly before all three of them teleported themselves to their own chamber.


Morning rays broke through Lucy's windows. The gentle warmth and light grazed her soft skin, as if the sun was trying to wake her up from her peaceful sleep. She hummed at the comfy touch as she groggily rubbed her eyes with both hands, not wanting to wake up from one of the best sleeps she had, especially after the nightmare. However, the sun didn't give it up that easily since the warmth turned hotter and hotter.

'Huh? How come the heat turned hotter in a flash?' Lucy's eyes were still closed, so that she didn't know what happened. When she opened them, she was surprised at the position she was in.

A strong pair of hand was encircling her waist. The person's legs were tangling her legs. The person's heat kept increasing. Her mind screamed because judging from the heat, she immediately knew that the person caging her was Natsu. She slowly tried to break free from the hug, but his hands were too strong and her own hands were too weak for this. Instead, Natsu moved his right hand to her head and pressed the head against his wide chest while he pressed his head on her hair. His body heat grew intensely. If tis continued, her house would be burned in instant. She freaked out imagining that she needed to live on the street without a roof to stay. Finally, she tried to break free again. But, she became quiet after she heard him mumbling on top of her head in his sleep.

"Don't... go..." he mumbled. Lucy's eyes widely opened.

"Please... don't..." his voice became hoarser. She could feel a deep hurt and agony from his voice. The voice told her as if he'd lose everyone in his dream, everyone, including her? She didn't know, she awsn't the one experiencing the dream so it was just a guess.

"Natsu? You okay?" Lucy asked. She knew that asking someone in his sleep was a not good idea, but it's worth the try.

"Mmmm..." Natsu mumbled something incoherent. Instead of giving an answer, he pulled her head closer and closer, until there was practically no gap between his chest and her head. She knew it, it was not a good idea in the first place. In the end, she didn't have a choice but to break through with force. She collected her strength and in a single push she broke through the human cage. Natsu was pushed toward the end of the bed and fell down, creating a loud thump. He got up holding his hurt head from the impact with Lucy's house's floor.

"Uh, what happened?" Natsu mumbled. He rubbed his fingers to both of his eyes, while he scratched the back of his head with his other free hand. He was still sleepy at the moment.

"I'm asking you what's gotten to you?" Lucy frowned. Her voice was still loud as always.

"What's happened, Natsu? Why is Lucy mad right now?" Happy said. He was awake from loud noise Lucy made.

"Dunno, Happy. She's screaming out of the blue! She's weird!" Natsu answered. He was still sleepy though.

"Aye... she's a weirdo." Happy quickly responded.

"Don't call me weirdo, you two!" Lucy retorted. "Anyway, now you're awake, so I can ask you to go-HEY!" Lucy couldn't finish her sentecne as the two ran past her into her fridge to raid her foods.

"NO! Not my food again! That's supposed to be my one-week supply!" Lucy groaned.

"Mph mph?" Natsu tried to said something, but his mouth was full of foods.

"Whatever! Now stay away from my fridge! I'll cook you something istead!" Lucy went to the duo and pulled them from the fridge.

"Yghaaaay!" both cheered, food was still on their mouth. They were placed on her dining table while Lucy took her food supply to start cooking.

"If you two take anything from my fridge without asking me first, you'll be sorry!" Lucy pointed her fingers at the two, making them shiver.

"Natsu, Lucy's scary..." Happy said in a low tone so that the said blonde couldn't hear.

"Aye..." Natsu said agreeing, still in the low voice. Several minutes of waiting, she came to the diding table with a plate full of fire chicken on her right hand, and a plate full of fish on her left one. A delicious smell could be smelt throughout the room, even before she arrived at the dining room. Happy and Natsu's mouth started watering.

"Here, I hope you won't raid my fridge again after this!" Lucy put the plates on the table with a little bit force, showing that she was still irritated at their act. Natsu and Happy didn't care as they started gobbling the food. Despite being annoyed, she could only smile at them. They could be cute at a time like this, as a child. Good thing that she got that fire chicken recipe from Mirajane and Lisanna, she could prepare if something like this happened. After the small 'meal', Natsu and Happy lay on the floor. Their stomach was really full, although the food they ate was usually not enough for them.

'Fortunately I put a drug to make them full easily from Mira-san, this is helpful!' Lucy said inwardly at how well the drug worked on those two. Happy then got up.

"Natsu, I want to go to Charle and Wendy's house now. See ya! Enjoy your time with Lucy!" Happy snickered as he started to spread his wings, ready to fly from the window.

"Hey!" both of them shouted, but it was too late because Happy had flown outside.

"Sigh, What's Happy planning to do?" Lucy crossed her arm. Both of them fell on an awkward silence again, until Lucy asked natsu.

"Hey, Natsu." Lucy asked plainly.

"Huh?"

"You didn't remember what you did just now before I pushed you from my bed, right?" Lucy asked him.

"Um... no... I guess?" Natsu grinned. Lucy face palmed in her mind at that nonchalant expression.

"Then did you dream of something?" Lucy asked him further.

"I can't tell you that!" Natsu stuck his tongue out. An anger vein popped out of her temple.

"What? No fair! If you don't want to tell me then give me back that fire chicken!" Lucy grabbed his neck and start choking him. Natsu who was suffocated finally give up.

"Geez, you're no fun at all, Lucy!" Natsu pouted.

"Whatever! Just tell me!"

"Well, about that..." Natsu's face turned serious at this moment. Lucy became more curious at his act. Was his dream that big that his face needed to turned serious? "I got a dream where I woke up in an all-white place-"

"WHAT?" Lucy said, interrupting his story. 'The same layout as my dream? What's the meaning of this?'

"Hey! You wanna hear it, right? So, let me continue!" Natsu roared. When Lucy gave a signal to move on, he continued anyway. "I called for everyone, but nobody answered so I ran to find everyone..." Natsu continued. 'Again, the same as what I did in my dream...' Lucy said.

"That's when I found a big black gate, emanating an evil aura. But I found a girl was having her magic drained to open the gate," natsu took a deep breath before he continued. "I saw the door opened. A long, white haired man with a black armor stood beside the girl, mumbling something about taking over the world again. I tried to help her but something was blocking me to reach her..." Lucy bit her lips. How come his dream was like her own dream, but a little different?

"And then...?" Lucy asked.

"The man said something about a castle or something. Dunno, but suddenly a big castle appeared out of the blue. The girl was released from the magic absorbing, and fell down to the open area. I rushed to the girl only to find that the girl was you..." Natsu gradually lowered his voice. Lucy's eyes widened when hearing the last part.

'What...? Me? No way!' Lucy said inwardly. She managed to ask him a question between her suprise. "Then does that have something to do with you hugging me?"

"Huh? A hug? Dunno about that kind of hug, but in my dream, I brought you away from that damn island's attack, but the attack was too huge. I could only run while holding you closer." Natsu ended his story. Overall, Lucy was a bit surprised. However, she tried to keep the normality by teasing him.

"What the... hahaha! That's quite a funny fream for an idiot like you!" Lucy laughed. She smashed her fist on the dining table continously.

"Don't act! I know you're surprised and worried about it! I bet you even had the same dream as me, right?" Lucy stopped. She was really surprised right now. How could he be so sharp at a time like this?

"See? You didn't talk back! That means what I said was true, right?"

"Ah! Anyway, if you know that our dream is the same, why didn't you think it's strange? Do you think it's just a coincidence?" Lucy retorted.

"Don't care about that same dream. I'm going!" Natsu turned his back to face him and waved his right hand a little, signaling that he would go to the guild. He walked toward Lucy's window.

"Hey! I'm not finished! Use the door!" Lucy screamed. She pointed at the door to make him use it, but it didn't work. He climbed at her window, but before he jumped down from the 2-story-house, he took a glance at Lucy with a worry look.

"What I care is that if you're in danger, I'll save you no matter what..." He whispered before he jumped down. The saying made Lucy blushed a bit.

'Okay, this isn't funny! The same dream, and then Natsu changed his attitude! What's wrong with all happened to me lately? I guess I'll check it out...' Lucy said inwardly, while walking to her bathroom to take a bath since she hadn't take one before cooking for those two.


Meanwhile...

Figure of The Three Sinistrals could be seen again, sitting in the same position, in the same room, in the same castle, and on the same eerie island as before. They were doing exactly the same as what they had done the day before; monitoring Lucy Heartfilia's house for some 'purposes'. This time, Gades looked displeased at the result.

"Why did you do that unnecessary thing, Amon?" Gades said. A hint of anger could be heard from his slightly high voice.

"I was trying to test whether the pink boy is truly the 'Fire Dragon', like that 'Stellar Maiden' blonde girl. It seems like that boy is truly one," Amon smirked.

"You implanted another dream to that pink haired boy?" Erim asked.

"Yes you're right, sister..." Amon said, still smirking.

"I hope you won't do the same for the rest of them..." Gades grunted.

"I won't. This is just a test for these two." Amon said.

"Putting that aside, If we look at that boy's reaction, it seems like that that boy is truly the 'Fire Dragon', like what we thought about him before," Gades simply stated.

"Yes. This really brings back memories. The 'Fire Dragon' and 'Celestial Maiden', such a good story of them..." Erim mumbled.

"Don't forget 'Frozen Smith' and 'Armored Valkyrie'. We will defeat all four of them again and claim this world again!" Amon added. This time his smirk was replaced by evil laugh.

"Erim, have you send 'that person' to the designated place already?" Gades said between his brother's evil laugh.

"Thank you for reminding me. I haven't done that, but I planned to do that now. Come here!" Erim shouted. A 17-year-old male teen with a cloak entered the room from a door in front of The Sinistrals. The teen walked calmly, as if he had known that place and 'master' of that castle. He quickly knelt down as soon as he got near The Sinistrals.

"What can I do for all of you, masters and mistress?" He said, bowing his head.

"You know what you have to do. You have to go to that place and do the task as we told you before!" Erim ordered.

"Don't mess up with this time, or you'll be sorry!" Amon threatened the boy.

"Understood." The boy said without any objection.

"Good. You may go." Erim said. As soon as she said so, a light surrounded the boy, teleporting him to the designated place. A smirk on The Sinistrals' face grew wider. The second-step of their plan had been a success.

"Brother, wait for us!" Erim whispered while looking at the empty throne beside her.


She had finished her long bath. Her body was still wrapped in her towel, but she didn't care. She had a thought to asked Grandpa Crux after the bath, and she wanted to do it right now. Without wasting any time, she grabbed her keys on the drawer.

"Open! To the door of Southern Cross, Crux!" she swung her key and released her magical power. A poof appeared in front of her, revealing the stellar spirit crux in his usual position.

"Grandpa Crux, i want to know something about The Four Sinistrals from 1000 years ago. Can you help me finding that information?" Lucy asked. The said spirit stayed quiet for a while, until he let out a scream, indicating that he had found the answer.

"The Four Sinistrals are four evil beings of Destruction, Chaos, Death, and Terror. These evil beings once had tried to conquer the world with their castle; Doom Island. Doom Island floated in the sky as their throne, eradicating those who opposed them with laser from Doom Island." Lucy gulped. The eradicating part was the same as her dream!

"The only ones who can defeat them are 'Four Heroes of Light', along with their 4 helpers. They challenged The Sinistrals at Doom Island as their final battle. The Four Heroes of Light gained the victory, and finally restored peace for 1000 years. However, The Sinistrals will come again for revenge, trying to claim this world again." Crux ended the story.

'Why are all the information fits my dream? Is it coincidence? More importantly, why me?' Lucy bit her lower lip. All these things about Sinistrals and Heroes made her worried.

"Grandpa Crux, does this have any relationship with Spirit World?" Lucy asked. Unfortunately, The said spirit feel asleep before she even asked the second question. Grumbling, she force-closed the gate.

"I think I have to look for the information in all Magnolia, no, Fiore bookstores and libraries for this one..." Lucy mumbled. She didn't realize that her strange dreams made her busy. If she had time, she would probably write down this story in one of her novel's chapters or even make another novel based on this one. This time, she was too intrigued, or could be said worried about it more than her novel. Quickly she wore her usual outfit and went out for her little 'hunt'.


Three hours later...

Lucy arrived at the guild's door, carrying (or dragging) a sack of books from every bookstores in Magnolia about Fiore history, Earthland, Legends in Fiore, and many others. She even borrowed several books from libraries in Fiore. She had planned it thoroughly, hoping that she would find the answer for her dream. The reason why she took such a short time to explore Magnolia was a mystery even for her. The only thing she need is to find Levy so that she could help her for this, although she won't tell her the reason why she asked for her help. Carefully, she dragged the heavy sack of books, hoping that she wouldn't damage the books she spent all of her money for or she would have to pay for the book's damage (the library one).

As soon as she opened the door, she found that the guild was as rowdy as ever, with chairs and magic thrown everywhere. Some of the noted men were fighting: Natsu, Gray, and Gajeel. Elfman joined because the three accidentally hit Lisanna who were lying unconscious on the wooden floor with a chair. He yelled "Man!" every time he landed an attack in a fight, strangely 'attracted' Evergreen to join the fight, solely to hit Elfman and his muscle brain. Erza? Don't ask! She joined the fight instead of calming them down, much to Lucy's surprise. When she saw Erza's armor and face were full of cake, she knew the reason immediately. She sighed at the normal condition at the guild. Trying to keep her precious book from getting destroyed in the fight, she walked slowly to the counter to meet Mirajane wiping the table.

"Ah, good afternoon Lucy!" Mirajane greeted her happily.

"Good afternoon..." Lucy sighed. "When will those people stop fighting?" She groaned. She slumped heavily on the chair and placed his head on the table. She was really tired and frustrated.

"They will stop, Lucy. Don't worry!" Mirajane said with a mile, while she evaded some stuffs thrown into the counter's direction.

"I think this is the worst place to read some books..." Lucy mumbled.

"Books? The one in the sack?" Mirajane asked.

"Yes! I need to read all of these books, and I need Levy-chan's help for this one." Lucy said, still in the bad mood.

"Don't worry, she'll come here soon after her mission with Shadow Gear. I can prepare you an orange juice while you wait and read the book, okay?" Mirajane winked at her before she went to prepare some. Lucy began to put some books on the counter, wear her Gale-force reading glasses, and took one book to read. Not long after that Levy came with Jet and Droy.

"Lu-chan! How are you?" Levy ambushed her with a hug. Lucy returned the hug with a full smile.

"Levy-chan! Good timing! Now you're here, can you help me with something?" Lucy said, still hugging Levy.

"Uh, I think I need to take a break from this mission..." Levy sighed as she released her hug. A look of tiredness could be seen from the blunette's face.

"Huh? What kind of mission you, Jet, and Droy had?" Lucy tilted her head.

"A mission to kill a monster in Clover Town..." Levy said as she sat on a chair near her.

"What? It's a rare thing for Shadow Gear to accept a killing-monster request! Are you all right?" Lucy gasped. She then checked her friend's body, trying to check if her bookworm pal had a bruise, scar, or anything from the fight.

"No, I'm okay. Thanks to Jet and Droy, we can do this job perfectly!" Levy smiled. Somehow the smile convinced Lucy to stop checking at her body.

"Thank God! But, why don't you take another safer job like catching a robber or something?" Lucy asked again.

"There isn't any other job besides killing monster. We haven't received those kinds of jobs since yesterday." Mirajane said. She placed the orange juice beside Lucy on the table. The thirsty blonde grabbed the glass and started to drink all of the content.

"Really?" asked Lucy between her drinking session.

"Yeah. It's creepy that more moster can be seen nowadays. We even had a report of monster attack two days ago at Magnolia's city limit," Levy shivered. Lucy stop drinking. Thoughts about the said incident two days ago swirled inside her head. She felt like that all of these monsters and her dream were related somehow. Levy, realizing that her blonde bookworm friend was lost in thought, moved her face closer to Lucy's eyeing her in worry.

"Lu-chan? What's wrong?" Lucy who didn't realize that Levy was eyeing her from a short distance yelped. She even almost fell from her chair.

"What? Um, there's nothing wrong with me. I swear!" Lucy said. Despite what she said, her face showed that something was indeed wrong with her.

"Don't lie! I know there's something you were hiding from us! Is it a boy?" Levy teased her, trying to ease the atmosphere.

"NO!" Lucy shouted suddenly. The sound was so loud that even the fight in front of her stopped.

"Huh?" Natsu stopped.

"Oi, what's happened?" Gray asked.

"What's in your head, bunny girl?" Gajeel snorted.

"Oh, you're so manly to scream, Lucy!" Elfman yelled, earning a hard smack from Evergreen. Everyone just sweat dropped.

"You're not shouting to attract Gray-sama's attention, are you? Juvia won't forgive Lucy-san!" Juvia who was eyeing the fight (as well as cheering Gray inside her heart) glared at the blonde.

Lucy, realizing that she had attracted too much attention from her scream, had sweat dropping from every part of her skin. Her guild mates' eyes mede her more nervous. With a quick idea, she tried to make the condition more normal.

"Uh, nothing, really! Just continue the fighting!" Lucy grinned sheepishly. Everyone stared at her blankly, don't know how to respond.

"What? Just fight already!" Lucy lost her composure. People's eye widened. They were suprised because their celestial spirit mage who was known for hating the fight in front of her suddenly asked them to fight.

"What? Then fight me, Ice Pick!" Natsu broke the silence. He punched the raven head, sending him flying to a wall nearby.

"Damn you, Fire Bastard! Wanna pick a fight?" Gray got up. He positioned himself so that he was ready to use his magic anytime.

"I am! Bring it on, chicken!" Natsu lit his right hand with flame, and then charged at Gray. Everyone seemed to go to their own activity again, but not for some people; Mirajane, Levy, and Cana who was nearby.

"Tell me, any good man lately?" Cana asked. Her mouth never leaving the beerkeg.

"Oh my, Lucy's in love!" Mirajane squealed.

"Really? Tell me, Lu-chan!" Levy shook Lucy's body lightly, demanding for an answer. Lucy was really confused at how to react to these overly curious girls.

"Oh my, this isn't a boyfriend thing. I guess I have no choice..." Lucy sighed. Finally she told them what actually bugged her mind. She told them about waking up in a strange place, finding an evil gate, a mysterious white haired person, and an island floating in the sky.

"That's it! No boyfriend thing!" Lucy ended her story with a pout.

"Doom island? Never heard of it," Levy rubbed her chin with her index finger.

"Me too, but that dream's creepy..." Mirajane said in a scared face.

"Yeah, and more importantly, Natsu's dream was similar too..." Lucy mumbled. Unfortunately, her mumbling was loud enough to be heard by the girls.

"Natsu?" all of them asked. Lucy face palmed in her mind. She's so stupid to mention that in front of a matchmaker like Mirajane.

"Um, well, he barged in this morning to get a free food with Happy and then-" Unfortunately, What Lucy said was heard by Natsu's sensitive ears. Knowing that she was lying, he jerked his hands away from Gray's neck (What? He had already stripped himself!)

"Oi! where are you going, Flame Brain? Giving up?" Gray growled.

"Of course no! Just stay there and don't go away like a coward!" Natsu pointed at where the raven head was.

"Huh! That's if you're brave enough to come here again!" Gray scoffed. Natsu only let out 'tch' voice. He immediately went to the girls.

"Why don't you tell them the truth, Lucy? We even slept on your bed!" Crap! Stupid dragon slayer for telling that embarrassing thing in front of Mirajane, and stupid her for not reminding him to keep quiet for what they had last night. She really wanted to slam her own head to a nearby wall. His loud voice didn't make it any better because it was so loud that it attracted people, again.

"What?" All three of them asked in disbelief. Cana was chocked from the shock. Levy squealed loudly. Mirajane? She had fainted.

"What? You slept with her?" Gray came out of nowhere, probably interested in what Lucy and the girls were talking.

"Any problem? You're supposed to be there! Why are you here?" Natsu snorted.

"Who cares? You're not my master anyway," Both of them were having a glaring contest now.

"Oho! Bunny girl and salamander finally slept together! Gihihi!" Gajeel smirked.

"That's a man, Natsu!" Elfman yelled again. Evergreen smacked him, hard.

"Congratulation, Lucy! If Natsu do anything bad to you, you can tell me so that I can teach him a lesson." Erza smiled. Natsu shivered from the image of Erza giving him 'lesson'.

"Natsu-san and Lucy-san were sleeping together? Then Lucy-san is not Juvia's rival anymore! Juvia's so happy Gray-sama will be hers forever!" Juvia held both of Lucy's hand with teary eyes. Fortunately, the tears were not big so that the whole guild was not drown by them.

"Whoa, congratulation! I've slept with him on a same bed and now it's with you this time? it's so sweet!" Lisanna who was awake now squealed in front of Lucy. She blushed at the image of Natsu and Lisanna sleeping together. More members gathered around the stressed blonde. Some people awed, some people congratulated her, and some other only stared at disbelief. Lucy couldn't keep up with the raid so she screamed to stop them.

"Stop it! I and Natsu were not doing anything! Understand? Now go back to your position!" Lucy panted. She gave all of her power (well, not all) on her scream and yell. Everyone went back to their own activities. Lucy the turned her head to, Natsu, Gray, Gajeel, Erza, Elfman, and Evergreen.

"All of you, continue the fight and don't bother me! Especially you, Natsu!" Lucy pointed at the pink haired teen.

"What? Why me?" Natsu asked. He was still oblivious at what happened.

"Don't ask. Now get move!" Lucy pushed all of the fighters to the arena (OK, this sounds stupid).

"What's wrong with her? Are you sure you didn't do anything bad to her, Natsu?" Gray grumbled.

"Who knows?" He shrugged. He was now focused on his fight with Gray, Erza, Gajeel, Elfman, and Evergreen.

Lucy turned her head to Levy, Cana, Mirajane, and Lisanna. "For all of you, please be serious! I'm tired from going all around Magnolia for these books!"

"Why don't you go to another place, Lucy?" Lisanna asked. Lucy couldn't answer that. She had the point actually. Why did she keep staying here while she knew that Fairy Tail was the worst place to read?

"... Forget it. Since you're here, you can join us in our small talk, Lisanna." Lucy didn't have any willpower to shoo her away. Lisanna cheered happily and sat on a nearby chair.

"So, what's the topic, girls?" Lisanna asked.

"Lucy had a strange dream about someone locked in a gate, claiming that he was The Sinistrals, and so on and so on..." Levy explained (sorry, I was too lazy to explain)

"Oh my, that's a scary dream..." Lisanna covered her mouth with both of her hands.

"That's scary indeed. By the way, did you say your dream and Natsu's dream were the same?" Levy asked. Lucy breathed in deeply.

"Yes, and it's not a fate or something we're a match!" Lucy pointed at Mirajane. The oldest of take-over siblings only looked around with a confused look, not knowing the reason why she was pointed at. The rest of them chuckled.

"This is weird indeed. So you went all over Magnolia buying books from all of bookstores and borrowing books form Magnolia Library to find a clue about this Sinistral thing?" Lisanna asked?

"Yes! That's why I came here. I need to ask help from all of you guys!" Lucy pleaded.

"What can we do? We're not the one having that dream here, Lu-chan!" Levy said.

"Cana can predict what the meaning of my dream is by using her tarot cards, while the rest of us can read all of these books." Lucy pointed at the pile of books near the party.

"Oh my! Do we need to read all of these books, Lucy?" Mirajane gasped.

"We have to, or we won't know..." Lucy answered. And so the girls began their task. Cana positioned herself with her cards while Lucy, Levy, Mirajane, and Lisanna read all the books with the help of Gale-Force Reading Glasses. Fortunately Lucy and Levy each had a spare, if not Lisanna and Mirajane would never be able to read their huge share of books. Wendy, Charle, and happy came from the front door While the girls were working,.

"Lucy-san, Levy-san, Mira-san, Lisanna-san, what are you doing?" Wendy asked.

"Oh Wendy! Do you want to join us reading?" Lucy asked.

"You're asking her to marry books?" Happy asked.

"Of course no, you stupid cat!" Lucy smacked Happy hard on his head in midair, causing the cat to fall on the wooden floor.

"You don't need to be that harsh! You're cruel!" Charle snorted, but she still kept her calm personality.

"You're protecting him now? That's so sweet of you!" Lucy smirked.

"What? No! Don't try to change the subject!" Charle lost her composure, and began to blush.

"All right, everyone! We have to stop. By the way, what kind of book are you reading right now, Lucy-san?" Wendy tried to sooth the atmosphere.

"We're reading history and legend books right now. We're trying to look for something..." Lucy answered. Her eyes never leaving her book.

"Can I help you, Lucy-san? Maybe I know something about what you're looking for," Wendy volunteered herself. Lucy didn't really believe at her at first, but seeing the girl's determination to help, she finally told the blue haired girl.

"I'm not sure if you will know this, but we're looking for something called The Sinistrals," Lucy said. She knew from Wendy's face that she didn't know anything about The Sinistrals, but that's when something unexpected happened.

Charle's body trembled heavily. Her eyes widened in fear. Sweats began dropping from all over her face, even body. Her hands were at both sides of her head, holding it with all force she had as if all of her life depended on that. Images kept swirling inside her mind. She was entering her premonition mode, and judging at her condition, it was not a good one.

"Charle? Are you okay?" Wendy rushed to the white cat.

"Charle! What happened?" Happy's eyes widened. He ran to her side, trying to make her calm. It didn't work though.

"A big cave... big gate... a white haired knight... floating island... a ray... destruction!" Charle murmured, and screamed the last part. Lucy's eyes widened.

'Gate? White haired knight? Floating island? Ray? No way! How can-'

"Gah!" Lucy's thought was interrupted by Cana's scream. She threw her cards on the table in frustration. She placed her fingers on her forehead. A mixture of anger, fear, and frustration could be seen from that alcoholic girl's face.

"What's happened, Cana? Should I get you another barrel?" Mirajane asked. She stopped reading for a second.

"No, why can't I get a good card in this entire fortune-telling? I kept getting Devil, Death, and Judgment?" She screamed in frustration.

'What?' Lucy was even more surprised. She couldn't be calm as suddenly the guild door opened, revealing an average height young male teen with black eyes and brown hair with a pair of glasses. The boy wore a white travelling cloth and blue loose pants. The clothing was torn up. His body was covered by dirt. He panted heavily as if he had been into a big battle or he had travelled for days without foods and drinks. Everybody looked at them with mixed expression.

"Help..." He mumbled. "Open the gate... brother!" this time, he made his sound a little louder. It was so loud that it could be heard to the counter. As soon as the boy said that, he fainted. Some of the guild members nearby went to him to help and bring him to the infirmary.

'Open the gate... brother?' Lucy mumbled again. Images of everything in her dream rolled in her head; the mysterious voice, the white place, the evil big gate, the white haired knight, the floating castle, and the laser with its capability to destroy an area in an instant. She felt somewhat dizzy with all of these. Natsu's dream being the same as her, Charle's premonition, and Cana's fortune-telling only made it worse. Suddenly a realization hit her.

'Charle said something about destruction, and Cana said about Death arcana. Does that mean that this world will be destroyed? Does that mean that I'll die? No way! That's not gonna happen!' He let out a laugh but not because she was happy, but because she was scared. She began sweating. All of the pressure was too much for her. She couldn't hold it any longer. Finally, she fainted.

"Lucy!"


This is a long chapter, I know, I hope it can satisfy all of you a bit,
