I never had any friends my age. I never had the chance to meet any. I was born into the captivity of the Heartfilia mansion. After my mother died, the closest thing I had to a friend was Aquarius. She was always angry at me and she yelled at me a lot but I kept summoning her anyway. The time I spent with her made me happy because even though she was constantly grumpy or angry, she was company. She was a companion. I love her, whether she loves me or not. But now time has shown me it is my worst enemy. It has brought me to losing her forever. It stole her from my life. It has left me on the ground crying with an enemy standing above me. Jackal. He's yelling at me, saying he wants to give me a further reason to cry, calling me a stupid bitch. That's when he attacks me and I don't do anything to stop him.
Born in captivity, time's your worst enemy. Your face is getting older. You try to keep your rage, inside this golden cage. Your heart is getting colder.
But when I look up, there's a force field made of water. That can only belong to one person I know. "Aquarius! Where are you, Aquarius?" I yell out, hoping for an answer though deep down I know it's not likely.
Just a moment later, instead of getting an answer, I get something even less expected. A blue glow starts emitting around me, lifting me up slightly, and I can feel the magic surging into me.
"Aquarius' magic has turned into power for you, old friend," a familiar voice informs me.
"Celestial Spirit King!" I exclaim.
"Rise, old friend!" This has given me new spirit and with those words, I find myself on my feet once again, glaring at Jackal in front of me, who has been watching the events unfold before him. "Rise, old friend!"
The blue glow around me bursts and dissolves into the air but it leaves behind one thing. Aquarius' chest mark on my own. "I will!"
"May the stars guide you," Celestial Spirit King offers me.
"Thank you!" I scream and with that, my interaction with the Spirit King comes to end. That leaves just me and the enemy ahead of me. Just moments ago, I was slowly dying with the pain of losing a friend and I was allowing myself to get laughed at, to get looked down upon because of it. But now it's my time to fight back.
Day by day they treat you like an animal. You've gotta fight. You've gotta start a riot. So let's wake up your sleeping lion.
It's time for me to stand on my own. For Levy, Gray, Erza, Happy, Master, Mira, Elfman, Lisanna, Jet, Droy, everyone else in Fairy Tail. For Natsu. And for Aquarius.
With my eyes closed, I look down, silently thanking Aquarius for everything she's ever done for me. Her mark on my chest starts glowing a light blue.
Now Jackal is back to attacking me, asking me if I've forgotten his curse power. he throws explosions at me. "Die! Die! Die! I'll blow you to smithereens!" he threatens me. He thinks he's done the job, betting there's not a single trace of me left. But he's dead wrong.
When the smoke clears, he's surprised to see me standing behind a force field exactly like the one from earlier. My eyes are still closed and he's the last thing on my mind with this force field. You were right Aquarius. I can't keep crying forever.
Mad that I'm not reacting to his attacks, he throws another one at me but it results the exact same way. And I can always cry later! With that, the water falls to leave me exposed.
Right now, to save my friends...I have to fight!
It's my turn to catch fire. I can't let it get me down now.
Catch fire, catch, catch fire! Wake up the sleeping lion and use your mind. Catch fire, catch, catch fire! Wake up the sleeping lion. Do you feel alive? Don't let it get you down.
I've had many sleepless nights, kept awake by demons, both my own and other's. I've been left running around in circles, their cold fingertips always making my blood run cold. I'm not letting these ones keep me running any longer.
A yellow glow forms around me as the magic runs through me. "Sound out to the heavens, open the heavens. Stars across the universe, show yourselves to me with all your brilliance! Tetrabiblos, I am the ruler of the stars. My aspect is perfection. Open the savage gate. 88 stars of the heavens, shine on!" I shout and on the last tow words, my eyes shoot open.
Do you know the reason why? Why they never let you sleep at night and you're running round in circles. Their frozen fingertips against your burning lips. A fight without heroes. You've gotta fight. You've gotta start a riot. So let's wake up your sleeping lion.
The time has come to beat these demons and save my friends from their ice cold grasps.
The yellow glow continues to get brighter, its strength getting more and more intense.
"Urania Metria!" I scream as loud as I can. Now the light has morphed into beams of yellow. With amazing strength and power, the beams are shot toward Jackal.
My inner lion has been awoken and it's blazing with the fires of passion.
Catch fire, catch, catch fire! Wake up the sleeping lion and use your mind. Catch fire, catch, catch fire! Wake up the sleeping lion. Do you feel alive? Don't let it get you down.
I don't know if I did any good with this one. Please tell me what you think!
