It had been a long two days of nothing but meditating and being with her spirits. While Lucy did enjoy the Boscan airship she was ready to be on solid ground. Tomorrow she would arrive and it was nerve racking not knowing who was going to meet her. Her magic had grown as had her bonds with her spirits; it was amazing to learn just how vast her magic was along with all that her spirits could do. Every spirit was special in their own way and come to find out even some of the myths about them had a bit of truth to them. Crux was at a meeting currently with the King so she couldnt summon him. After last night she had asked him if she could publish a few books on the lesser known ways of Celestial magic but Crux said he'd have to speack with the spirit king as to what information could be shared. That found her in her current position,meditation again, while trying to find where the odd feeling was coming from.

For as long as she was on this ship she had felt an odd presence that seem to follow her, she didnt know if it was connected or not to the increasingly difficult meditations or not. Lucy knew she was having trouble but was almost too prideful to admit it and the meditating only seem to put a magnifying glass over the issues. after some time she stoppped to read a book on Boscan culture and another on their laws.

Meanwhile in the Spirit world

"Give her the basics and how the magic reacts with the mages social life. You should know well enough what not to let her write. As a precaution let her write with this paper so if she does happen to put down something not ment for all humans to have access to then it will dissappear. Also, yes, I do agree she is nearly strong enough for the bindings but it will be a long painful process and the ruins will need to be set up properly before she starts."

After crux got his approval need for the writing and the bindings he desided to wait til she landed to speak with her about things. Crux made a beeline for Leo when he saw just what was hanging onto Lucys magic. Fearing it might not get done quick enough he told Leo to get to the Mindbender wizard saint and tell him to have Lucy put through their Lacrima they put the knights through and to also have the odd shadow mage watch for the thing once it detacted. He could only hope this would work as the last resort would be a tough one.

Lucy POV

She tossed that night trapped in a nightmare full of memories. Trying to get out was increasingly futile so she braced herself and rode it out. Knowing sleep wouldnt be peaceful tonight she surrendered.

Her mothers voice called to her but never from a solid form. lashed at from all sides as the memories floated by she cried. There, the night she ran crying into the forest...it was the first night on the run and it ached terribly being away from her mothers grave. Next was the time a bit after joining Fairytail irritated and guilty over not being able to figure out about lullaby til the end after people were hurt. The island with the moon and almost having her head crushed...yea those memories made her ache physically. Then the guilt from watching Natsu get beatten during Phantom Lord crashed through and sent her reeling. Desperately clawing to wake up knowing what was coming the mightmare went right to the end of the games, she screamed trying to open her eyes only to see she was watching her future self die in her arms. Was this what it would have been to hold her mother while she was dying? Bile rose into her throat as tears streamed down her face. Why...WHY WAS IT HER...always her, why cant it end, why cant she be left alone? No more kidnappings or having to look over her shoulder. Then the final stretch...Aquarious and the disbandment.

Numb is how she woke up and being held by Loke. He called out her name desbrately but all she could here were the wispers. let go they told her, just close your eyes and you'll be no more. Wont that be nice, the taunted her by telling her she wasnt strong enough to keep going. Something inside her stirred though, a wall shoved up infront of her mind blocking the wispers. All she knew was being rushed off deck in the arms of her loyal lion with him yelling to someone to get her to some lacrima. Grabbing onto her bonds between her spirit and pulling hard at her broken one she let herself sink into darkness.

Day before at White Sea

Kaleb had Zen in his office with him so he and Farron could give Zen a run down of Boscan culture while Kaleb got his work done. Zen was impressed but glad that people would take no offence to a declination of sharing pleasure. After growing up in the pits he didnt want to persue sex right now but a sudepha sounded like a good place to start. As him and Farron discussed possibilties for work for him Zen spoke up and asked if it might be possible for a private tutor for learning the basics until he was good enough to go to a school. While he was assured he would not be looked down upon for not knowing the basics Zen said it would make things easier and would be less of a distraction. Arman had joined them shortly and they all sat for a short chat before Arman left saying he would meet them at home for dinner.

The rest of day was filled with intros into what guild life was and the possibilities for one such as Zen in Bosco. At dinner during a lengthy conversation about work and life in general Arman shot up from his seat and walked swiftly to speak with Mrs.Ellan about setting a temporary room up for Lucy. As Arman sat back down he quickly explained to Zen about Lucy coming here and gave him a quick description of who she was. At the mention of the type of magic and its explination Xally wondered out loud how great of a stratigest she was and prodded Kaleb that he might have met his match. Arman told them it was a possiblitiy because of the way she grew up and who her mother was. As pressure in the room grew Loke appeared and dove right into exexplaining why he was here and his request. The room was quiet for a moment before Vander spoke up saying he could be there while Kaleb and Arman left to speak with the General.

Morning came quickly for the Pradesh family so while Kaleb, Vander, and Christoff got ready to go meet lucy Zen opted to stay with the two girls for the day. Kaleb and the chosen team waited at the docks axious to meet lucy but what the did not expect was a breathless Loke to sprint from the Airship deck shouting at them to get lucy to the lacrima now. Waisting no time Christoff made the jump with Vander and lucy as the rest followed in a rushing sedan hope that the deathly looking girl would be alright. Becks struggle with his beasts caught kalebs attention but after some reassurance they were under control they all settled in for a long wait not knowing what they had just gotten themselves into.
