Lucy Pov.
After telling the master what had really happened, he let out a sigh and got out of his seat. I watched him walk out of the room before coming back with a book in his hand. When he returned to his seat he gave me the book to which I was surprised.
"I've read this book, the Mother of Dragons and her daughter Elara." I ran my fingers gently across the front cover.
"That cave you visited was once an area where the people worshiped Aurora and Elara and vowed to bring her back. Many tried but failed to resurrect the daughter, but when you stepped into that water it reacted showing a sign that you may be the one fated in resurrecting Elara." the master folded his arms after his speech. My eyes widen and I felt my mouth drop as I tried to grasp the information thrown at my face.
"I can't be the one! I'm just a celestial mage and not only that, I'm not a dragon slayer." I replied in a hushed tone trying not to alert the people outside the room. Makarov sighed and shook his head before looking at me dead in the eyes.
"There is no doubt you are the chosen one, I also have read the book and was curious if a person like that can really exist. And being a celestial mage doesn't matter, it is the Dragon Willow's will that'll select the one deemed worthy to release Aurora's daughter back into this world." Makarov got out of his chair and approached me.
"You should head over to the Land of the Divines and learn more about Elara." Makarov handed me the book before pulling out a folded piece of paper out of his jacket. This map will help you get there and do not fret child, Elara is watching over you as we speak so if there is any harm expect Elara to be there to protect you." I grabbed the map and stuck it in the book before looking back at Makarov.
"How do you know so much about this? And how will I know if it's me?" I looked at the floor a bit sad.
"I have been researching her for some time. And Lucy, you must believe in yourself. Never doubt your abilities." I looked at Makarov and nodded my head. I slowly made my way towards the door.
"Will I see you guys again?" I asked as I turned my head to look back at the master.
"When you are ready my child. I will be waiting for you to return but for now, go. And one more thing Lucy." I nodded my head towards the master.
"Yes, master Makarov?"
"Do not let anyone know where you are headed, even your team," Makarov replied in a stern voice.
"...I promise." I turned my head and exited the room. As I shut the door, I had dozens of thoughts rushing through my brain.
*Not tell my team, my friends...if I really want to get this done I'd better keep this to myself* I made my way to the bar where Mira was at the side watching Natsu and Gray arguing. Most of the guild members also had their fair share of fighting. I quickly slipped out of the guild hall, undetected, and made my way back to my apartment. I quickly got out a bag and started packing up the essentials I needed for my long trip. I made a letter to the landlady before I left my room. I made my way to her mailbox and slipped the letter in before taking my bag along with the book and map and starting my journey towards the Land of the Divines. As I crossed the bridge leading into and out of Magnolia Town, I looked back and whispered out,
"Until then..."
As I made my way through the different parts of Earthland, I was amazed at some of the things the other places had to offer. Of course, there were places that didn't offer those types of things so I made sure I was on the move. I kept a small journal to record the places to visit when I return from this entire adventure thing. I had Plume out with me as we boarded a boat that would take us to Caelum where a private boat would be waiting for me.
"I wonder if Natsu and the others discovered I have left," I whispered softly. It wouldn't be until another 8 hours until we arrived. I made my way to the first class hallway where a room had been reserved for me. The room was a fairly large medium sized room. In the room contained a queen sized bed with an elegant design on the wooden frames. The bed was a canopy bed with two curved posts that would hold the fabric. The bed also had a roof design but instead of something like a wooden frame, it was replaced by a light and thin fabric. The bed contained elegant designs that screamed royalty. On the bed, laid three pillows each bearing different designs. The white and gold colored sheets were neatly folded and extended a bit on the hard wooden floor. Finally, there were tied cream-colored drapes that hung on the side of the bed. I placed my bag on top of a backless sofa which had a similar design like the bed. I scanned the room and was impressed with the quality and the details implemented in the room. I hopped in my bed and looked up at the light fabric overhead. I felt Plume shivering near my leg before making he made his way up before sitting close to my face.
"I know Plume, I'm a bit worried about heading off to a new land but I have to put more faith in myself. Who knows maybe I might become the strongest out of the guild. Wouldn't that be something." I whispered the last phrase as I turned my body to lay on my stomach. I placed my head on the pillow and slowly felt my eyelids drop.
