Lucy couldn't hold the smile back from her face as she left Blue Pegasus and the Thunder Legion. She has originally come here only looking for a little guidance from Freed and and asking for an ingredient from Bix, what she had not expected was the wild night of deliciousness she experienced. Not only that but she felt herself so much closer to the seith mage, Lucy knew without a doubt she could always return to him and he would greet her with a crazy grin and hopefully a fun time. Bix had always been so boisterous and loyal, she didn't have to worry about anything when it came to spending time with the man. He would keep her secrets, and their adventures to himself while making sure they have a blast together.
Wandering he way back through the town of Herc Lucy was mindful to keep an eye out for the door she originally came through. She wasn't entirely sure but had a fair guess that there was a requirement on which door could access the transportation magic of the key. Passing the news stand and once again waving to the older man as she passed Lucy's eyes locked on a dark woooden door with gems imbedded in the wood near the golden handle. Spreading her magic a bit Lucy could feel the thrum of power seeping from the door, pulling out her keys Lucy took a deep breath before picturing the spacial room and entering the key into the nob and twisting. Entering the doorway a smile pread across her face as she took in the room she was in eariler. Elegant, simple, something she could enjoy yet knew she wouldn't want to spend a bunch of time here unless she was recuperating. Most of the furniture and decorations white or an ivory accented by of course a sparkly gold, fuzzy white rugs on the ground and golden silk sheets on the bed.
Humming Lucy made her way into the bathroom once again, this time taking a quick shower and redressing. She had a breather to actually ask the questions that had been plaguing her mind since finding herself here. Sitting in front of the vanity Lucy took the golden brunch to her still damp hair, the instrument being damn near the same color as her locks, before softly calling for her loyal lion. Without a seconds delay the primly dressed man with a wild mane of orange hair materialized behind her.
"Yes my Princess?" Loke asked as he deeply bowed to her.
As he rose again to meet her gaze in the large mirror a warm smile took over Lucy's face, Lokes mirroring right after.
"I've missed you, you pesky Lion." She said with humor in her voice.
"I'm just a call away Princess, you can always summon your knight in shining armor and I will be at your side. You should know this."
"This I do." She said before bursting out in giggles, the lions own laughter joining with her own.
"Now silly kitty, please explain to me all of this." She said motioning to the room around them.
"Ah yes..." Loke said loosening his tie just a bit. "This room was specially made as an escape and recovery room for celestial mages, believe it or not there was another time long ago that celestial magic was largely hunted and only a few mages wielded it."
Nodding Lucy urged for the spirit to continue. Sighing Loke came up behind her to take her brush and continue what she had stopped while listening to him speak. She watched the saddness and weariness that really brought his age to her mind as he continued.
"It was actually durring the age of your great grandmother Anna. Celestial magic has always had a tie to obviously the heavens and thus many dark mages believed it could control gate opening and closing if the mage was strong enough. In a way there were correct however hardly back then was there a celestial mage so capable. Anna was the exception and she knew it, often she found herself hiding here in this exact room. As you can guess it was the Celestial King that had gifted her with the key you now have in your bag. The King no matter the strength and authority he holds he does his best not to interfere with Earthland happenings, unless it was very dire. In that moment in time, it was Anna was one of two celestial mages alive. If they had both passed on too soon our magic could have really become lost. Right now in your generation there are more celestial mages than you really believe, although I am not at liberty to tell you their names, besides lady Yukino and yourself there are quite a few in Bosco. After the situation with Anna the King put precautions into the blood lines of certian magics, like a heavenly body mage could have an offspring that could wield celestial magic, or a normal light user, sometimes even space users. It is still a rare magic for the King does not want it to expand too much, however he has made it to where it hopefully will never die out."
Lucy sat with her head down thinking about Lokes explination, it made sense. Actually she is very happy that there are more Celestial summoners out there than she originally knew about however she still had many questions and he had not answered the one she wanted most.
Chuckling Loke could sense his masters thoughts going a mile a minute and the deep concentration as she nibbled her lip told him he had more explaining to do. Finnished with the brushing of her unsually long blonde hair he set the brush down before pondering how to style it her continued before Lucy could ask.
"The King transported you here that night because although you had physically healed back on Earthland your magic resverves were still greatly diminished and needed an constant flow of magic in order to return to a healthy level as soon as possible. On top of that don't tell the King I said this but we all know he has a soft spot for you Princess. I think if he had his way he would scoop you out of Earthland all toghter and keep you forever in the spirit realm at his side as his daughter. Not even Anna left that kind of impression on him durring her life time. You are so pure and so full of love, even if he is not your spirit he is the King of us and he feels what we feel from you. Whether it be your feeling towards us or in general, of course not on the level we do having a direct link to you but he still does a little. He honestly wants the best for you and knew this room would be in good hands if he gave you the key. Think of this as your own sweet escape, where you can rest, refresh, replenish, and even keep an eye on the human world all from here and when you're ready leave whenever or return as you wish."
Lucy couldn't help the happy tears fromn escaping her eyes as she smiled at her spirit that was so focused on his task of her hair didn't realized the immense happiness he just created by telling her Stache Faces feelings. If every came to the time where she no longer wanted to be on Earthland or was getting close to passing away she would be more than happy to join her spirit family in the spirit realm. The pride and honor she felt as the words really sunk in had Lokes face snapping up to meet her slightly gold glowing gaze in the mirror. The bobby pin in the spirits mouth fell as he took in her beauty, she truly was a golden goddess. He was left speachless as her feelings continued to flow through their bond filling him to the brim with love and power. What Loke had not told her during this whole discussion was that as soon as she passed from the human realm she would become one with the stars, it was a part of her destiny. Besides that she was also to become one of the greatest celestial wielders of all time. It had been woven into the history of the unvierse by the fates, destined by her blood line, and confirmed by the stars. Lucy in her human life time would learn and do so much than anyone thought possible. Although unavoidable there was a reason she ended upin awful situations like she did, to be tested and grow. Even thought Loke didn't agree with all the trails and tribulations she had to experience what she gained out of every event was on purpose. No matter what was done the the moment she would come out the other side better than what she went in. The unfair reality of being her, but unlike Yukino who was never attacked for her magic or abducted, Yukino would also never gain the magic or flexabiltiy of her magic that Lucy will. It was only a matter of time before Lucy would realize her importance in this world being as smart as she is.
Pulling himself from his awed suppor Loke finished pinning the intricate braids to the back of her head before straightening himself back up to pull his master from the stood. Enjoying the simplicity of the moment Loke snapped his fingers before a soft tune started and he started an easy waltz with her aorund the room. Loke was so happy to see the light flickering back in the depth of her eyes, all of the spirits had been worried when her soul bond with Aquarius had orignally broken. Little by little she was coming back and would hopefully be back to herself by the end of this adventure.
After the impromptu dancing and discussion Lucy figured she would head to bed in the morning continue on her adventure.
Like clock work Lucy woke at six in the morning to do some quick stretches and a small work out before another shower and leaving the room. Taking a deep breath she placed trhe key in the door handle and picutred herself of the edge of Haregon. Easily Lucy stepped out into the crowded streets of the peer taking the beautiful water and wonderful fresh sea salt smell. Since it was still early there wasn't many tourisits more fisherman and boats people walking around, feeling nippish Lucy purchased some fresh apples and a small pastry before looking along the docks. Lo and behold after searching for a bit Lucy ran smack dab into BoBo himself. Righting herself Lucy let a warm smile take over her face before apologizing.
"Oh BoBo! I would say I'm sorry for running into you but honestly this is the best thing to happen for me!"
"Miss Lucy! Long time no see!I am quite glad to run into you as well! What brings you to Haregon?" He asks.
"Honestly I was looking for passage to Galuna Island! I wanted to meet witht the cheif and ask for a favor, I'm looking for an ingredient that I can find on your island."
Nodding Bobo responded. "Well no problem Lucy, I'm sure the cheif would be more than happy to help. It might even get a smile out of the old man by seeing a friendly face."
Smiling herself Lucy could only nod at him before Bobo turned back around and headed to a much bigger boat than the last time they had seen one another. Taking her raised eye brow Bobo laughed.
"Yes the boat is much bigger, ever since you and your team..." Lucy tensed at the words but luckily he didn't catch on. "We took your advice and started reaching out and doing trade. You wouldn't believe how popular the nectar of the Wambacha fruit is. These beauty gurus go crazy for the stuff, and the wild Caratan meat and pelts sell pretty well also. So more travels, needed a bigger boat." He finsihes with a smile.
Lucy was happy for the little island, although the memories that came along with the trip were bitter sweet her conversations with Bobo brought a happiness that overrode and dark feelings she had. Before she knew it the pair of them were at the islands boat dock, the evening light just starting to cast a warm glow to the sky. Bobo ushered her to the cheifs hut right away, along the way asking some people to unload the boat. Smiles and waves were sent her way as they passed through the village, although it was more of a town now in her opinion. The buildings were still more like huts but in a refined way, they had gotten ahold of clay stones instead of mud or small random stones thrown together. The weather itself was still warm and a bit of humid side, but still enjoyable in her breathable training clothes.
Meeting the cheif again was wonderful time, they sat and enjoyed some local delicacies before she told him of her advenutre here for an ingredient for a spell she was going to do. She was happy that the chief wasn't pushy and allowed her free reign of the island in order too look for what she needed and even set up a hut for her if she needed one. Touched Lucy hugged the little man before once again thanking Bobo and decided to start her hunt now. Unaware of the furrowing of the cheifs brow as if he needed to tll her something important but forgot.
The evening light cast wonderful rays of purple, pink and orange on her surroundings. Hopefully even after the years that had passed what she would be looking for would be exactly where she remebered it, if not she would have to trek back from the island and travel all the way to Seven to look for their very rare very hunted diamonds. Lucy only shuddered at the thought, she didn't want to deal with the desert lands or the somewhat snobbish people there if she didn't have to. It didn't take Lucy nearly as long as she once remembered the hike up the summit of the islands only tall hill to the temple that resides unpon it. However along the way Lucy couldn't help the feeling that not only was she being watched but goosebumps raised upon her skin at the foreign magic power that caressed her being. Yet theusual alarms that blair in her head at the incomming danger did not come so maybe a curious demon was watching her as she went. Shaking her head Lucy continued tot the entrence of the temple, old memories trying to overwhelm her however pushing those to the back of her mind she had a task to complete.
Weaving her way deeper and deeper into the temple the feeling of smooth magic only seemed to increase, her body was tingling and a haziness started to make her mind wander to the most recent events of her life, particularly the steamy ones. It was going to be dark soon and Lucy knew it, shaking away the pleasant buzzing from her thoughts she continued to her destination. Entering the main room of the temple unaware of the glowing silver eyes watching her every move Lucy took in the still shattered ice that seemed to be down more like decorations around the room. Some hanging from the celing others places upon shelves or maiking some sort of designs on the walls. A smile took over he face at the thoughtfulness of the island, after everything that had happened during their mission she had told the cheif about who the ice had belonged to and incredbily proud of the way he took her words to heart obviously and regarded the last pieces of Ur as a part of the temple. She made her way to a nook that had small pieces of ice surrounding a large chunk, leaning over to pick one up Lucy could only nibble her lip as she thought of Gray and what he would say about what she was planning to do with a piece of Ur's ice. Again Lucy shook her head to get rid of the bitter thoughts, she hoped that Gray would understand and get that Ur would help her reunite with her first spirit once agian. That is if Lucy ever saw him again or had the courage to tell him about everything that had happened. Grabbing the smallest piece she could Lucy quickly shoved it into her pack before straightening up. Waving her hand over Horologium to find it was only a minute til midnight, she may as well make camp here so she didn't have to hike in the dark.
Turning around to find the best place to set up what she was not expecting was for a tall adonis to be standing in the way of the only entrance or exit. He is tall had to be well over six foot, dark black locks falling to his shoulders with braids in them, rich tan complexion, built like a mountian with muscles upon muscles, chiseled jaw, strong straight nose, full kissable lips, and eyes that could suck out her soul. She was facinated as they fluctuated rapridly between a softly glowing silver and deep midnight blue with silver specs of stars captured within them. Before Lucy could really open her mouth to questions the very attractive stranger a strong wave of magic slammed into her. Causing her breath to catch as she watched the mans eyes flair bright silver and let out a deep rumbling growl. All of Lucy's nerves were on fire, her blood pumped faster and her breath came out in quick pants. Arousal so strong burned thorough her causing her knees to almost give way. However she couldn't tear her gaze away from the man who started stalking her like she was prey, his nostrils flaired and Lucy knew without a doubt this man was a dragon slayer. The closer he got, the more of his clothes fell off of him, by the time he was within arms reach her hands were shaking with so much pent of need to be ravaged by this man. Lucy knew withint the back of her mind this may not be a good idea she couldn't help the dirty little voice that spoke up saying just go with it, this man was obviously going to make her blow her mind in pleasure.
Slowly Lucy felt her muscles relax as she accepted giving into this man, who watched her like a hawk recognizing each muscle himself that loosened. When she finally was relaxed his hand shot out to caress her cheek, the touch firm but gentle she rubbed her face further into the action causing a deep rumble to come from the man. He must have took her action as an okay as suddenly his firm defined body pressed into her as his lips sealed over her own. Lucy couldn't help the moan that quickly excaped, he felt like heaven and tasted like fresh mint and smelled like a summers night. Before she completely lost herself to the man trying to devour her she pulled her mouth back to take a deep breathe and ask.
"What is your name handsome?"
"Cris star goddess." His voice deep and smooth as silk responded.
Humming she didn't have a chance to let him know hers before their mouths clashed once again. Although rough in a purely dragonic way he handled her with care, smoothing her hair back from her face, trailing his fingers across her skin, stripping her of her clothes with precision. Between the kisses Lucys let out more mews and sighs of pleasure than she ever thought possible. There was a place on her body he didn't worship during their coupling, and she herself left quite the markings upon his skin. It was a wonderful mix of gentle and primal need between the two of them. The night wore on as they spent every moment enjoying one another, from gentle intimate sex with lots of kisses to rough hair pulling skin biting that had Lucy seeing stars all night long wihtout even looking outside.
The sun came before they finsihed with their activites, Lucy knew without a doubt this would mean they would have to stop soon as she felt the drain finally on her body. Cris had fallen asleep a few minutes ago with his hand wraped around her waist and his face nuzzled into her stomach, Lucy let her hands gentle thread through his soft hair while thinking about how she could get back to either the village or her spacial room. Taking another half assed look around the room the two were in Lucy felt her eyes widening before they locked on a small door that seemed more of an entrance for a child but she could see a handle an a smile curled at her lips. Looking down at the handsome man sprawled on her she could only kiss his cheek one more time before guiding soft finger tips along his side, making the sleepy man twitch and pull himself from her to roll over. Her smile fell just a bit at the thought that she had learned that from Natsu always sneaking into her bed and that was how she got him to release her in the mornings. As Lucy stood she could feel the intense ache in all of her limbs as she stretched her back up, stars above she needed a very hot, very long bath. Grabbing her thrown clothes and bag Lucy pulled out a blanket and draped it over the slayer curled up on the random carpet the two of them had found last night to couple on. Lifting her stil damp and sweaty hair off of her neck silent as a mouse Lucy tip toed to the little door before praying and puting the key in the handle, a little giggle leaving her as she crawled through it into her room.
Nude and not really caring Lucy threw her bag at the end of her bed before making her way directly into the bathroom, completely ignoring the wide eyed jaw dropped lion who had made himself comfortable in the chair in the corner of her room. Yes, she had known he was there, however she was way too tired to care. A long drawn out moan left her as she eased her aching body into the herb and bath salted water, it only took a few seconds before her faithful lion entered after her, tea cup and towel in hand.
"Thanks Kitty cat." Lucy said without even opening her eyes.
"I'll always take care of you Princess." Was his easy response.
Lucy took a long drag of the warm honey flavored tea that eased her sore throat as hands easily started washing her hair. Once upon a time Lucy may have been bothered by the lion spirits presence while she was in such a state however along the many trials and tribulations Lucy had come to see the Lion as her best friend and leader that he is supposed to be. Almost that weird siblingship was formed that didn't have the normal boundries, although he still flirted a bit becasue he is Loke after all they didn't see one another as different sexes nor did they sexualize anything about one another. They just had a connection to one another that pushed all normal boundries way far out of the picture. It was just them, Lucy and Loke, two former members of the same guild that had gone through so many things together, cried both in happiness and in sadness, shared their deepest fears and greatest dreams, sometimes the even shared their feelings in such a way they could tell what one another was dealing with. When they orignally made a life pact bond they never thought it would become to this level of a relationship yet it didn't bother one another, they were not in anyway romatically involved. Loke had Aries even though the playboy deined such things and Lucy was as free spirited as ever until she learned what exactly she wanted from life.
Finsihing with her bath Lucy thanked her spirit before getting dressed for bed, she felt much more relaxed and knew as soon as her head hit the pillow she would be out. Tomrrow she would think of her next course of action and start planning accordingly, was her last though before the looming darkness swallowed her.
Back on Eathland Cris had finally woken up sore but completely relaxed, having such vivid dreams of a golden haired goddess. He was not surpised to find himself in the nude, knowing the full moon always made him a horny bastard. As he dressed Cris pondered the dreams that he had, hell even his body ached like he had actually had sex and lots of it. Shrugging his shoulders he simple wrote it up to be a wild fantasy before getting ready to moon jump home. He would have to either send a thank you letter to the cheif or give him a com call later for letting him use ther moon temple to let him test how he did through a full moon without any actual sex. In all hoensty he felt completelty the same, maybe a bit less like he got runover by truck like he ususaly did we he fucked multiple people at once but all in all he now believed there was no reason to tuck himself away because in the end he turned out the same afterrwards.
So yeah theres that. Poor Cris thinks it's all a dream, I can't wait til your guys get to read the end of this story it's going to be so funny!
Also as you can tell I changed some aspects of Cris' moondrunkness if you couldn't tell, the midnight coming into effect thing was random but I needed a time frame to write what I wanted.
Please let me know how you feel this is going! I would very much appreciate the feed back!
On another note, with August being DESNA's Pradesh fam, and MadSoullessQueen hosting LahCy week in december how would my readers feel if I hosted either a GaLu or JeLu week in the mid to end of October?
