Chapter 2 is here! And can I say thank you for all the support and excitement this story has gotten. Now I won't hold you up any longer. Just know that I don't own anything, but the plot. Also sorry for all grammar and spelling mistakes.
Lucy's breath hitched when she heard the familiar voice. The blonde looked over Loke's shoulder and her mouth dropped in shock, and a slight blush dusted across her cheeks.
Standing in front of the spirit, and mage was a tall blond man. He was shirtless, and his black sleeping pants were low on his waist. A lighting shaped scar on his right eye.
But what really caught Lucy's attention was the differences that the blonde now had.
His already spiky hair seemed to be even more so. The pupils of his storm blue eyes were silted, like a reptiles. He had gold scales on the corner of his eyes running down to his jaw. The same golden scales were on his arms. She could see a head of a golden dragon tattoo in his right side of his chest, the tail was at the bottom left of his waist
Lucy bet if he turned around the rest of the Dragon was on his back.
"Laxus?" She squeaked out. Confusion evident in her red face.
Laxus raise and eyebrow. "How did I get here Blondie, and what are you looking at?" he asked as he narrowed his silted eyes. As he talked you could see that his canines were longer.
Laxus furrowed his eyebrows as Lucy just continued to stare are him.
He noticed a mirror on the vanity in the corner he walked over to it and then let out a string of curses.
"What the? What did you do!" Laxus shouted as he turned from the mirror to look at the celestial mage.
"Me!" Lucy squeaked out, "Why do you think it was me!"
Laxus gave her an annoyed look. "I'm in your room am I not?"
Lucy fiddled with her fingers nervously as she noticed the small sparks coming off him. "Well you see...funny story really...Hey! how do you know this is my room?" Lucy asked trying to put off telling the usually intimidating man...who was she kidding he was always intimidating...even with his shirt off, and practically naked...
"Natsu, now quite stalling." he said.
With a silent promise to Lucy Kick Natsu in the face later she started explained the new key and how it summoned him.
Lucy glanced up from the floor to see Laxus sneering at her. "So what? I'm now a slave like those other spirits of yours!"
Lucy snapped to attention and the glare she gave him would have made any lesser man, or the destruction trio, cry.
"Excuse you! My spirits are my friends. I would never treat them as anything less." she hissed out debating if she could get away with a 'Lucy Kick'
Laxus growled "Well I don't want to be your 'friend' now fix this!" he pointed to himself and nearly jabbed himself with the claws he notice his nails had turned into.
Lucy opened her mouth, but was interrupted by a throat clearing. The two shifted there glares to the forgotten lion.
Loke raised an eyebrow at the hostility.
"Okay so education time!" he said as he clapped his hands. Virgo appeared with a handful of big cue cards, and chairs appeared behind Lucy and Laxus. Once the to were seated Loke started.
"So as we all know I am Leo the Lion from the Zodiac, so my key is a Zodiac key, a golden one to be specific." Loke explained as if talking to children, and Virgo turned over the first card showing a picture of Loke's key.
The two blonds looked annoyed at the tone Loke was using one them, but nodded none the less.
"Now we have the Draconic Keys." Virgo showed a pictured of the Lightning Dragon's key. "They are different from other Keys. Since as soon as you summon them the contract is...sealed." Virgo help a picture of a person shaking a a dragon's claw as if agreeing to something.
Lucy paled at the implications of that, and Laxus started to sparks some more as he glared at squirming blonde next to him.
Loke continued before the blonde slayer could explode.
"Now the rules are also different for the Dragon Keys. One as I just said, once summoned the contracted is sealed and is show on the key."
Lucy looked interested at this and pulled out the Key that Laxus was now eyeing. The key now felt warm to the touch with an undertone of electricity. She also noticed that the yellow tourmaline was now glowing, and as she brought the key closer she noticed little sparks flashing off inside the stone.
"Whoa." she breathed out, it was really pretty.
The next thing she knew the key was missing from her hand. She turned to see a smirking lightning slayer tossing the key up and down, but a moment later he yelp and let go of the key. Lucy caught it before it hit the ground.
Laxus looked at his hand to see a burn mark that was already healing.
"Yeah, number two the Dragon can't take away the key. Also there healing factor goes up." Loke stated trying repress a smirk, and Virgo held up a picture with don's touch written over the key.
Lucy put the key away again just in case, as Laxus crossed his arms and started to brood.
"Number three, and you'll like this one Laxus. The dragon get to chose when he wishes, or is able to be summoned." A picture of Laxus crossing his arms in an X was shown.
Laxus seemed to relax slightly at that. Lucy looked curious. "How does that work though? When will I know when I can summon him?"
Laxus glared at her. "If I have my way never."
"You will know by the key. The stone will stop glowing, the sparks will also stop. Finally it will be less warm to the touch, and the undertone of his element will not be there."
The two blonds looked to Virgo for the picture, but she shrugged with a sly smile and turned over a picture of Lucy in a bikini. Loke shot back from his nose bleed, and Laxus had on a huge smirk. Lucy blushed a brilliant red, and touched Virgo's key which caused the mischievous maid to disappear along with the pictures.
"So then why does Laxus looked like this?" Lucy coughed and tried fight off her blush motioning to some of the scales on his arm.
Loke popped back fixing his glasses as if he had been defeated by a picture."Ah, that I am not one hundred percent sure. I think the key makes them have more dragon-like traits because the keys were originally for dragons."
"Oi, I have a question. Why would dragons want to do anything a human has to say?" Laxus demanded.
Loke smirked, he was wondering when that question was coming.
"Well firstly out of all humans dragons have been fond of Celestial Mages the most. Plus both parties get a power boost."
The two blonds sat up at that. "What kind of power boost?" Laxus asked finally intrigued in this whole thing.
Loke's smirked widened, "That my friends is where I am going to let you find out. Also before I go the facts I stated are only what we know. So will there be surprises later? Who knows, but the answer is probably."
Loke turned to Lucy and bowed. "Well my Princess it has been an exciting night, so I will leave and let you get some sleep." with a kiss on her hand Loke looked to Laxus "Oh, if you want to go back to normal try having Lucy cutting the magic connection."
The two blonds watch as the Lion spirit disappeared.
"Don't call on me." Laxus was the first to brake the silence.
Lucy glared at him. "As if I would ask for your help." They glared at one another.
"Whatever, and it goes without saying that we mention this to no one. Now cut the magic or whatev-"
Before Laxus could finish his sentence Lucy cut the connection, and the tall blond disappeared in a crack of thunder and left over sparks of lightning.
Lucy gave one last look at the spot, and trudged over to her bed for the second time that night she turned and flopped down onto it bouncing slightly. She stared at the ceiling for a moment before a defeated sigh left her lips. Why couldn't it be the Fire Dragon's key she found?
With that thought in mind Lucy began to drift off asleep once more, as sleep took over she couldn't help to notice that her magic felt odd ever since Laxus left.
_With Laxus_
"-er" once the word left his mouth he noticed he was back in his room.
He looked around his room before rushing to the bathroom. Looking in the mirror he touched his cheek which was now scale free, and checked his eyes which were now normal. He let out a sigh that he didn't know he was holding and walked back to his room.
The blond kicked off his sleeping pants as he walked to his bed and face plated on to it. He let out another sigh as he felt the familiar cool silk. His stormy blues eyes grew heavy and he slowly fell asleep. All the while ignoring what something felt off.
So there you have it. Now you have an explanation on how the Draconic keys work. I tried to keep it entertain and not just a truck load of information. I how it didn't bore you. I have to admit thought I really enjoyed writing this. Even the back ground info.
Please leave a review (if you want) and tell me what you thought of the explanation of the Dragon keys.
Finally who do you think the next key should be? Not Rouge, and Sting though I have a plan for them...Which I am sure most can figure out...
Also for the couple I not to sure who it will be, probably Laxus x Lucy, but I will think on it more.
