Chapter 2
"QUEEN?!" They yelled.
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. My half transformation fading, wings, teeth and claws melting back into my skin. My human visiage coming forth once more.
"Our Queen. Lucy of the Celestial Guardians." Grandeeny intoned whilst the humans and other dragons were enraptured with my transformation.
"Wait a minute" the other cute blue one said, "Celestial Guardians? What do you mean?"
"Lucy is the Queen of the Celestial Realm." Igneel answered.
"What about the Celestial King?"
"He was merely the caretaker." Metalicana said.
"But Lucy summoned him. She didn't seem to recognise him at all and he didn't say anything to her that could have indicated that they knew each other."
"Lucy has always been the next in line to the throne. She did not know of this until she went on her 3 year quest. In fact, she was fully human until that quest. Part of the reason for our... distaste... with the shifters question was that our Queen was fully human when she accomplished those amazing feats. Fully human including limits and unaware of her powers, heritage and destiny. During her quest she discovered all of these things. She underwent the transformaton ritual which unlocked her true nature. If she had not been strong enough she would have died. Lucy may be much stronger since the ritual, but she was abnorally strong for a human before. With a little bit of training she would have easily defeated the strongest of your mages. Her mother was our last Queen, she has now placed herself in the position of regent as Lucy is of age yet still unable to serve."
"Why is she unable to serve?" The redhead asked.
"All the dragon slayers would know that their dragons left on the same day. What they wouldn't know is the cause of the disappearance. An evil mage attacked a dragon and put our entire race at risk. So the Queen was forced to call all dragons to the Celestial Realm and close the gate behind us. This meant that we were forced to leave our children; Natsu, Gajeel, Wendy, Sting, Rogue, Lucy. You all thought that we had either abandoned you or been taken. We weren't allowed to take you to the Celestial Realm as you wouldn't have survived the trip."
"But why can't Lucy serve?"
The dragons looked at eachother uneasily, "One may only pass through the gate if they are... deceased... Regent Layla died in childbirth and was immediately taken through the gate, healed, and returned to her family."
"I don't understand... If one must have died, why was Lucy's mum able to live with her family?"
"If you are a celestial being, you may pass back through the gate and exist as before. Celestial beings are forever. We can survive as not quite human, our bodies being dead are suspended in time for eternity. You may think this is perfect, however, once a celestial being dies, they become a spirit; they get a key and a master and a limit on the time they are allowed to stay in Earthland. Lucy has not died, she may not for many many years, but when she does this will be her reality. The dragon slayers must abide by the same rules as the celestial beings."
As the mages of Fairy Tail stood overwhelmed by this new information, Lucy began to feel more in tune with herself - enough that she could feel her connection with one of the other mages in the room. A bond - a mating bond...
