Chapter 3: Celestial Weapons
~Ever's P.O.V~
I swivelled my head around; attempting to find the source of the glare but I couldn't locate anyone in the near vicinity. And then I looked up… a sad yet angry looking man with headphones was watching me, he arched on pale blonde eyebrow, causing his lightening shaped scar to become disfigured. I swallowed slightly and turned my back to the snarly man, my dark skirt fluttered around my thighs; I quickly shut the door behind me and sighed when I heard the audible click.
I leant against the door my heart rate slowing down after my miniature panic/stare down with a random, scary man I had never spoke to before but I knew who he was. After all my sister had told me every detail about these people, he was Laxus Dreyar and my sister would never admit that she was afraid of this man but I knew she feared his power.
I glanced up to see Mira press a stamp onto Luna's neck, when she withdrew it a silver Fairy Tail guild symbol shimmered back at me from just below her left ear. I watched Mira as she walked towards me a gentle smile upon her face, but I freaked out when she pulled up my dress and pressed the strange stamp against my right hip bone, I gasped as power seemed to radiate from the area, the mark glowed back at me royal purple.
"Now you truly belong to the guild!" Mira exclaimed, I shifted away from Mira and my skirt resumed to its usual position, I scooted away from her a little concerned about her sanity.
Luna had a happy smile on her face, one filled with content and the knowledge of the good things to come. I cannot begin to remember the last time I had ever seen her this joyful for so long, perhaps three years ago? My attention was directed elsewhere when the dwarf-like Master walked into the room, an amused expression on his face.
"You two seem to have stirred up the guild a little." He said his tone wasn't serious but I felt reprimanded.
I flinched slightly as his heavy gaze shifted to me, "My apologies, Master. Our arrival was strange and quite sudden." I grew thoughtful, tapping my fingers absentmindedly against my hip, I paused when I realised I was tapping my guild mark.
"Oh no, not that," the Master waved his hands around dismissively, "All the young men are stirred up," he laughed casually.
I heard Luna snot derisively, "Typical."
"Anyway on to business," the Master said while jumping up onto the seat, "Now, two rooms have been prepared for you in the Female Dormitory; Fairy Hills. Loke has taken it upon himself to transfer things between dimensions but 'adding a little more style'; I believe was his way of saying it."
Luna and I stared at the Master in equal parts; shock, excitement and one my part alone fear and something else, perhaps trust? Master continued to speak about the guild, and such as he did an emotion I hadn't felt in a while began to swell inside my heart- protection, happiness and the knowledge that a parent like adult was watching over us.
"The first month's rent of 100,000J has been taken care of, and…" he placed two small satin pouches on the table, "Each of you is being given 50,000J for food and whatnot until we can get each of you a suitable job. No complaints!" he demanded when he saw I was about to protest.
I slowly closed my mouth, I silently took the bag offered to me and securely tied it to the belt already fastened to my thigh, I gently brushed my fingers over the pouch holding my Keys. "Thank you, this is amazing. I mean I don't know how to…" my voice was disjointed and strange, tears began to fill in the corner of my eyes, Luna was speechless beside me, holding her own pouch of money.
Makarov shifted uncomfortably, "It's nothing." He said gruffly.
I scrubbed the heal of my hands against my eyes, getting rid of the tears brimming in the corners of my eyes, Mira smiled at us sweetly; her own eyes shimmered with unshed tears.
"Now I must leave for now but Mira needs to give something else to you two." The small Master slid off the seat and left quickly, perhaps embarrassed about our female hormones that instigate crying.
Mira reached under the table and placed two long wooden boxes in front of each of us. Confusion filled me but I slowly reached for the box in front of me and flicked the lock off. I slowly opened the box and gasped as I stared at the weapon nestled in black velvet; the gleam of gold awoke something powerful within me.
~Luna's P.O.V~
My mind was still in shock, processing all that had been handed to us, somewhere to live, money to start out with and a new family, which I knew to be Fairy Tail. Master had just told us all about the guild, stuff I already knew but it seemed to surreal but real enough that I was beginning to feel hope again for the first time. Hope that I could feel something like happiness again and hope that I may see Ever smile like she used to, all warmth and love.
I cautiously tied the pouch of Jewels onto the belt of my yukata, careful to hide it behind the dark material. I was shivering in excitement as I stared at the box in front of me, excited to see what it was. Something ancient seemed to pull me towards it but I paused as Ever spoke her voice low yet filled with awe.
"So beautiful." She mumbled into the eerie silence.
Curiosity piqued I turned to my sister, I leant close to her, trying to see what was inside her wooden box; I wanted to investigate to see what was so beautiful. A golden cylindrical piece of metal lay in a bed of a black velvet cushion, decorated with beautiful matte purple flowers and vines. The artist in me fawned over the colours and patterns created within the flowers, it was almost like stars and planets shifted within their purple depths.
I asked Ever, my voice filled with confusion, "What is it?"
"An Artemis Rod, you know the Goddess Artemis, her rod was a gift from her twin brother Apollo. He was the God of the Sun and Stars, so the rod has special properties tied to him to protect his virgin sister." She said her voice shook when she mentioned the power over the stars and sun.
"So, you have a weapon that resembles your own power somewhat." I stated, my voice gentle, soothing attempting to calm her.
"Indeed. I can fight alongside my…" she paused, and then a half grimace crossed her face for about a second, "friends." She said while her fingers lightly brushed against her Keys.
I grinned at her, but her attention was elsewhere, perhaps her own mind. I turned my attention to my own box, I opened it to reveal two gleaming silver handles daggers inlaid in the hilt with ice- blue gems and glittering diamonds, but what held my attention were the actual blades- they were the same colour as moonlight made solid.
"Just like the moon." My sister said, I realised that she had paid attention to me and hadn't followed her own trail of though; some part of me was secretly glade- she wasn't becoming lost to me again.
"Yeah." I breathed never taking my eyes of my new weapons.
Mira spoke up then, having been silent most of this time, gaining both of our attention, "Loke was worried about you both so he chose weapons he thought you might like and be able to wield, if the need ever arise."
"I think that I may love that Spirit." Ever said with laughter in her voice.
Something curled in my stomach causing my smile to falter; confusion filled me to add to my inner turmoil, I was not going to be jealous.
"Here." Mira handed me two dagger cases, connected to belts and a strange looking holster to Ever, however, she appeared to understand how it works anyway. I strapped one belt and holster onto each thigh and I grinned in delight as the daggers slipped perfectly into place. Ever was still tightening the belt around her thigh while I was done but then I watched as she picked up the length of metal, she twirled it in her hand, it was about the length of her forearm, and a sense of peace seemed to radiate from her as she snapped it into place.
She removed her foot from the couch and stood up, her skirt fell into place, obscuring the Keys and her own satin pouch of money but only a small bit of her weapon peaked from beneath her tulle skirt.
"One more thing," Mira said while handing over to Ever a small black book, "Loke said this would help you."
Ever took the notebook off Mira and inspected it slightly, she glanced back up at Mira, "Thank you."
We both picked up our now empty boxes and exited the door with Mira in front of us; we passed down the hallway and entered into the guild hall. Chaos ensued as we become visible once again, the men of Fairy Tail began to call out to each of us professing their love, but each of them were cut off as another began and then another. It was pandemonium when someone finally threw a punch in the masses. The next thing I knew punches and magic were flying everywhere.
I felt bad for them, they were fighting over our heart but I wondered what they would do when they realized both of our hearts were still in pieces.
I glanced around for Ever but she was already gone, somehow she had navigated away through the masses of brawling men and ended up on the other side of the guild unscathed, something had captured her attention, I could see it in her demeanour and her eyes. I crossed my arms under my chest as I followed her gaze to none other than Gray Fullbuster.
The man in question was sitting on a ledge near a window, leaning against a wall staring off into the distance, uninterested in the happenings going on around him. I myself had a sense that Gray had not given up on Ever yet, I thought while I glanced at my sister in question who appeared to be trying to disguise the pain in her eyes. She turned away from him but I still saw the shimmer of more unshed tears in her eyes.
READ & REVIEW: Tell me what you think of the Plot so far. Loke chose wisely about their weapons, but I wonder how well they will be able to use them? Read to find out...
