3rd person P.O.V.

The dragon towered over Lucy, she was trembling uncontrollably at the sight of such a fearsome beast. It looked at her confused but slowly stuck his head out to examine her closely.

"Why are you in my forest human" it said in a masculine voice that was quite deep.

"Uhm... Uh... I-I-I'm h-here b-because I-I w-wish t-to t-train a-and b-become s-stronger, t-to p-prove t-to m-myself T-that I'm n-not w-weak." Lucy stuttered and fumbled with every word she spoke. She was petrified with fear that the dragon might eat her.

"Hmm...that seems like a logical reason to be here since not many come here in the first place. And I do sense something about your aura, do you by any chance use celestial spirit magic" the dragon said in a relaxed, kind tone as to calm the girl down.

Lucy nodded to the dragon since she was still too afraid to speak.

"Maybe I can help you grow stronger then young lady. I am Astraeus the Celestial Dragon, but you can call me Aster.

Lucy's eyes opened wide and her jaw dropped even more than it had earlier from what she was hearing. She soon closed her mouth and started to nod vigorously with a large smile on her face. "Thank you so much that would be great I would love too." Lucy chirped with happiness "my name's Lucy by the way"

"Nice to meet you Lucy. Now would you like to come with me now or do you have to get a few things." Aster said with a smile

"Nope I have all my belongings stored in the celestial spirit world at the moment, so we can leave now if you like. But where are we going anyway." She said with a smile on her face then ask quizzically.

"We are going to my cave so we have a place to sleep and be protected during the night" Aster said and crouched low to the ground and spread the length of his neck out straight so Lucy could hop on. "Well get on so we can go" he said plainly.

"WHAT! we are going to fly there I thought we were going to walk." Lucy exclaimed.

"It is easier to fly there and on top of that it is much safer and harder to get lost when you fly." The dragon said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"Okay if you say so" Lucy said and made her way closer to the dragon and slowly climbed up onto his neck. Once she was on Aster stood up straight and lifted his head, spread his wing and took off into the sky.

Lucy screamed at the sudden acceleration but slowly started to smile and laugh "this is amazing. Everything looks so beautiful from up here."

"Good to hear you like the view so much" Aster said with a smile and picked up speed and flew towards the base of a far off mountain within the forest. He soon landed in front of a large cave and Lucy slid off his neck. "Well this is it welcome to your new home" Aster said once Lucy planted her feet firmly on the ground.

"This is huge" she said when she saw the cave. The entrance was big enough for the dragon's body to enter but he had to keep his head down in order to get in without hitting it on the over hang. On the inside though it was a good 20 feet taller then Aster when his head was fully extended upwards. There were many caves that branched out from the main one probably for storing treasure and what not. The cave floor and walls were spotless and dry as though no leaves ever blew in and the rain never leached through the ground when it got wet. The walls were made of solid stone and the floor was made of dirt.

"Hey Aster why is this place so spotless it should be a little messy since it is nature after all." Lucy said quizzically.

"Well I do clean up the cave and this cave is up hill so when it rains the water follows its natural flow." Aster replied to her question.

"Oh that makes sense." Lucy said with a embarrassed smirk, she should have known it was that obvious.

"Well it's getting pretty late we should probably head to bed. You can use one of the caves as your room for now. We will start your training bright and early tomorrow morning." Aster said and walked inside and lay on the floor where he curled into a ball and slept.

Lucy went into a small cave at the back of the main one. It came to an abrupt end and that was when she summoned Virgo.

"Punishment princess" she said with a smile.

"Not today Virgo. But do you mind bringing my a sleeping bag or a bed from the Celestial spirit world so I can go to sleep." Lucy asked her estranged spirit.

"Yes Princess" Virgo said and vanished in a bright golden light. She soon reappeared with a small wooded bed, a thin mattress and a change of clothes for Lucy. She placed the bed along the wall and lay the clothes on top.

"Thank you Virgo that will be all for now you may return to your world" Lucy said with a smile as Virgo bowed and left once more.

Lucy changed into a pair of pajama pants and a pajama shirt then crawled into the bed. 'This is going to be interesting. But I'm glad I decided to leave for awhile.' She thought to herself before dosing off to sleep, for tomorrow will be the beginning of a new chapter in her life. Everything she knew about the world was about to change forever.
