Lucy The Everqueen
Chapter 7: A deep secret
Lucy rested against the door to the tower of shadow as Belenus, and the members of Tartaros who were present stood watching the lord of shadow step forward. He wore black with silver trimmed pants with black shirt with silver stitching and long coat in the same design and detail of silver with a mask of pure silver.
Looking like a twisted form of nobility the lord of shadow extended his hands towards Ezel "Shadow impaler!" Concentrated shadow magic erupts from the ground in the form of immense and dangerous spikes emerge impaling Ezel, as Ezel screams in agony from the attack as Torafuzar charges. "Shadow Prison!" clinching his fist the lord of shadow wraps Torafuzar in a ball prison made of shadow Lucy smiles as she gets to her feet however she gasps and covers her ears a the screams of Ezel and Torafuzar vanish in an explosion of shadow magic. "Shadow soul oblivion."
Kyoka and Seilah look at each other and immediacy retreat as Belenus drops Jackals body and the lord of shadow wraps it up in a shadow prison. He drops Franmalth and Tempester and the lord of shadow two wraps them both in his prison of shadow. Lucy then joins the two of them as the prisons along with the occupants vanish from sight.
Belenus steps forward and both twins clasp arms in greeting before giving each other a hug as well to which Lucy was surprised to see but thought happily of it none the less. They both grin and turn towards Lucy the lord of the shadow kneels before her.
"I Abyss Lord of the tower of shadow and protecter of the Everqueen accept your request for help."
He extends his hand to Lucy and she takes it as both of them shake before Abyss takes a seat on a nearby rock and Lucy could feel his gaze upon he makes gesture of creaking his neck before getting off the rock.
"Well we best get moving, the next tower can not be reached travelling the ways and I think Tartaros won't try anything any time soon, we can actually gain a bit of time of a head start in seeking out the tower while they report in failing to keep me locked in."
"I suppose do you have anything new to tell us about their plans or actions you can see what goes in the world correct?"
"I do indeed Lucy I have good news on that front, you boyfriend was saved by a what I believe is a nothing short of a thunder spirit or god I guess. He took out most of your old guild with a simple nod of his head and saved Laxus and everyone else present who needed to be taken away. Oh stop looking at me like that when he nodded his head your guild mates got hit by lightning blast them back and had them stunned so he got everyone out using his lightning bolts. Too think he is someone that you brought to life."
Lucy looks down at her feet and shuffles them as Belenus shakes his head as Abyss takes a few steps forward and takes Lucy kneeling down and looking directly at her with those eyes behind the mask.
"Look Lucy there is something else I need to inform you about, it will be better to get this out of the way before we proceed." Abyss leads Lucy to a flat smooth rock and Lucy sits down nervously. "Well, you remember the talk the stone singer had with you right?" Lucy nods. "Well there is more to his story. Your mother was searching for the Everqueen and when she was found in the ways she had put a direct request to the very flows of the magic in them and they forced the door of the Everqueens tower open with out needing any of us. The truth about the Everqueen is Lucy that she is not a person in the sense like me and Belenus or any other guardians are, she was once a person but now she is something much more now."
"Your mother was able to enter the her tower and asked for help the power of the Everqueen, she agreed but told your mother that if she accepted the power it could shorten your mothers life and she accepted and became the new Everqueen but as you well know your mother passed away when you were a child at the time that is because of the power it shortened her life. Now the question is do you still want to awaken the power there which could shorten your life and can you handle the power taking the form of your own mother."
Abyss felt Lucy's grip of his hand tighten, and in truth he really did not want to let her know about her mother but felt it was best she should know or at when the time came she may back out while they were actually at the tower, the grip on his hand lessens and he looked in to Lucy's eyes and saw sadness yet a resolve with a crushing presence glances back at him he knew then that Lucy had made her choice.
"Well lets get going then it appears you have made you choice Lucy its very brave."
"My family is in danger and I will do what it takes even if it means dying younger than I should."
Belenus smiles at Abyss and he returns the smile even though it will go unseen. Abyss then turns towards his tower and signals his twin and Lucy to follow and they both follow him around to the back of the tower in which a large stone archway sat a staircase which led to what Lucy was assumed was the surface. Now Lucy was on the way to the third tower with the thoughts of her mother running through her mind.
On the surface however there was chaos as the void dragon Natsu had summoned has carried out its orders to destroy, swooping low the dragon opens its mouth and unleashes its roar attack another village, the villagers flee for their lives as the void dragon destroys their homes many try to leave the injured were they lay as the fled others tried to help those in need as the dragon continues to terrorise them. Watching with joy as the human shout out that Acnologia has come to destroy them he ignores the fleeing bugs and takes off into the air again to strike th next town.
Gildarts is still with his prisoners as they make slow progress travelling form village to village on several occasions Gildarts had to knock out his prisoners again he already been on the road over a day but progress was slow an ambushes by magical creatures sent by Natsu also slowed his progress. The beasts pulling his prison cart along however were once again becoming afraid as they approached the next town. Gildarts tried to calm them and assumed they sensed magical creatures waiting in ambush.
"Sigh not again I will never get these rascals to the magic council this way."
Gildarts stands still as a bellowing roar is heard in the villages direction and he sighs again as people flee towards him, as a large dragon rears its head and roars into the air shooting magical energy in to the air, he briefly turns back towards his out cold guild mates in the cage and realizes their aura and the dragons are similar. With another sigh he watches pretty young mother and her son stagger and fall as the dragon takes notice of them and with a grin on its face starts moving forward.
"Here we go again what is it with me battling dragons."
Gildarts bursts into action easily closing the space between himself and the dragon as he grabs both the dragons intended victims and easily gets them both out of the dragons way. "Get out of here quick, I will fight the dragon now run!" The two flee as the dragon now notices that someone is standing up to it. The dragon takes a deep breath and unleashes its roar attack. Holding both his hands out with fingers outstretched Gildarts uses more powerful form of his disassembly magic. The immensely powerful dragons roar attack is dissembled and with powerful attack he strikes one smaller fragments of the roar using his crash magic and sents along with the rest hurtling skyward.
"That is impressive human deconstructing my attack using crash magic to launch so that when it reassembles it will blast itself of to the stars. I wonder are you human?"
"I am, I lost my arm and leg clashing with a dragon stronger than you. What you are doing right now is bad and this old man is going to have to teach you a thing or two about doing things that are wrong."
The earth starts to rumble and small pebbles begin to rise from the ground from the strength of Gildarts magic power, the dragon hesitates as Gildarts walk forward as the dragon takes a crushing step back stepping on top of some ones home. The dragon snarls at Gildarts as if in warning and Gildarts knew what he needed to know using his crash magic Gildarts launches himself at the dragon but does not attempt guard itself, despite it hesitating before Gildarts knew it still believed he could not hurt it unfortunately that was wrong. Gildarts fist strikes against the dragons head and the dragon feels an incredible overwhelming crushing like pressure. Gildarts magic pushes it back further causing the dragon to stare at him in utter shock.
"How?!" Roared the dragon in fury, "You are not a dragon slayer and you actually hurt me time to die little man!"
A large claw sweeps down and catches Gildarts intent on crushing him as the dragons immense claws slam into the earth using his magic Gildarts cushions the blow before countering send dragon scale shattering punches each blow on the dragons front right leg send shattering pain causing the dragon to fall back holding its leg up unable to put it full weight on it, regardless the dragon spun with speed and struck Gildarts with its tail sending him flying.
Soaring through the sky Gildarts shows of the master of his magic as he uses to crash through burning homes using each of them as a cushion to soften to take the strength out of the attack. Crashing through four more houses Gildarts hit's the ground with a grunt he hoists himself back to his feet and quickly dusts himself off. Looking up the sky suddenly darkens as the pales of thunder and lightning go off over head and Gildarts strains his eyes as something emerges from the dark clouds and slams into the dragon with a thunderous roar. Gildarts watches as the skies turn on the dragon as several lighting bolts strike the dragon in several places cause it for in pain or frustration or anger Gildarts was not sure the wing creature circles the dragon and more lightning erupts from those dark clouds striking the dragon and sending crashing into the ground. Even over the sound of the of the thunder and body crashing into the ground Gildarts could hear the smaller winged creatures voice ringing out.
"Leave dragon of the void, and tell your master that we come for him soon but for now we let you go if stay however me and Gildarts will crush you."
Gildarts magic aura again causes the earth to tremble and for loose rock and stone to rise from the ground as Liger causes the pales of thunder to sound louder, the dragon looks at each of them in turn and takes in consideration though attacks form both of these bugs had hurt him and decides to retreat.
"I will return and when we next meet I will destroy you both.
With a powerful beat of his wings the dragon takes to the and flies off into the distance. Gildarts watches as the other wing creature lands before him, and he was surprised to see a winged lion before him which stood taller than which was pure white with a black mane and large black wings.
"My name is Liger and I come on behalf of Lucy Heartfilia"
