Chapter 7
Lucy POV
I looked satisfied at my property, which is a wide forest area with a stream going trough the middle, and clutched the blueprint tight to me. The party last night was fun and I finally had my plan ready to build the house.
The house will be three floored, the ground floor will have a big living room and a large kitchen with a dining room. A spiral staircase leads to the second floor, there will then be six rooms, three bathrooms and a lounge. On the top floor will be another four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a master bedroom (my room) and a library. Under the house is a wine cellar, four bedrooms and two bathrooms.
Outside will be a training facility and a pool.
"So that's the plan, Lucy?"
Asked Laxus, his eyes looked at me amused.
"Yes, that will be the house of the Dragonslayer."
I replied, his eyes went to the blueprint
"Will there be a room for me?"
"Of course you can pick a room, you're always welcome here."
His eyes showed a trace of confusion and a smile, as he pointed to the third floor, the room next to the master bedroom and said:
"Then I want this room."
Surprised, I looked at him, he knew that the room was next to mine. I had actually expected that Natsu wanted this room, that the mighty Laxus wanted to stay with us here surprised me and I just nodded.
"Okayy."
I said, clearing my throat, I took a few steps back and rolled the plan back .. His eyes followed me, and he just grinned mischievously.
Today had Laxus and Gajeel service, the two had to follow everything Thor and I said. But Natsu followed us either ways. We all and Wendy stood there on the property and we had previously purchased all materials and brought it here. Thor, Natsu and Gajeel were just about to create the outline while Laxus and I went though the plan in more detail.
At the end of the day we had already done a lot, but it will take several weeks till the house is habitable. Thor and I sat in my hotel room and talked about the blueprint. He wanted that we'll take on the second floor two rooms together, so that there will be enough space for him and Saphir.
I liked the idea.
I sighed and fell exhausted on my bed, since a while the new senses were too much for me. Especially because I could not place some smells, it confused me. Again, I sighed and looked at Thor with tired eyes.
"Oh what actually happened yesterday, as Wendy fell off her chair?"
I asked, Thor laughed lightly. I grabbed my water bottle and looked at him expectantly.
"Well, I've told her she's half a dragon."
he answered calmly. I froze and choked on the water.
"What !? A half-dragon?"
I asked stupidly while coughing. Thor laughed amused.
"You're also a semi-dragon, Baka."
My eyes were huge and Thor sighed and told me everything.
"Dragonslayers are the children of the dragon, adopted Dragonslayers as example I, Natsu or Gajeel are actually the 3rd generation. Then there is the 4th generation who got the dragon Lacrima like Laxus. Wendy, Saphir and you are the 2nd generation , you all are half dragons, you are born from the love between dragons and humans. The first generation are the children of two dragons, but they are very rare. "
"But that makes no sense! I was told there are only 3 generations. And the second are the who had killed their parents and are so much stronger? And the first generation, wouldn't that be just normal Dragons?"
I asked confused , as many questions raced through my head and Thor shook his head.
"No, that's just a mistake of the people. Of course, we can kill our parents and become stronger, but we are much stronger when we fight with them."
I nodded slightly and processed the Information. It made sense.
"Also the first generation, dragon have been here for several thousands years coming out of nowhere.
They can't have Dragon babies which have the same strength because that would be devastating. Also Dragons do not Age, meaning the Population would grow to an huge extent. Well there is still a chance were two Dragon could actually have Children, but the chances are nearly to zero.. So they started to adopt Children or mate with humans."
"What would be the difference between the generations?"
I asked, trying to expand my knowledge.
"Well, we, the third and fourth generation are mortal, but the first generation is immortal, and the second half mortal. So you can still be killed, but you won't age."
My heart stopped a beat when I tried to understand the information he was giving me.
"And that's not all, the first and second generation could become a dragon their self. Acnologia was also once been a Dragonslayer from the second generation, which could transform himself into a dragon, but his greed of power made him go insane and he couldn't transform back. "
When Thor finished telling, I had hard times breathing. Fear constricted my throat , I felt fear of the unknown, but my fear was rather directed to something else. What would happen if I'll lose all my friends, as I watch them die. I tried to hold back the fear, the agony and the pain which was going trough my body. Thor looked at me calmly and smiled slightly.
"I know you're scared, I know this is all new to you. But do not forget, you're a queen, you are my Queen.
Each dragon king which were before you was never a real Dragon and that is what made you all so strong. All your ancestors had done this through, even your mother. so do not cry. "
His words calmed me and as he wiped my tears, which I haven't even noticed. We hugged briefly and went back to his room, leaving me alone with my thought. Alone I looked in the hotel room around, I did not cry, but I still felt cold. I wrapped myself in the blanket and closed my eyes.
"I need to be stronger .."
I whispered and fell into a dreamless sleep.
Gajeel POV
I jogged through the cold forest and followed the trace that Natsu had left behind. Past trees and bushes as I found finally the clearing Natsu had meant.
"You're late."
Laxus said, who was standing in the middle of the clearing, looking at me with calm eyes.. I snorted and looked the other Dragonlsayers angrily.
"Why the hell are you calling me out and what are you all doing here!"
I asked angrily. Wendy winced and wrapped her arms around her small body. Natsu snorted and my eyes fell on the other two Dragonlsayers Sting and Rougue which were also here. They stated only that they just made a stop here and would continue their traveling.
"Well, now that we finally all here we can Start."
Said Natsu, who was standing next to Laxus. I snorted again but I let him talk.
"So, I have summoned you all here because I have something important to discuss... so .. There is an 'all you can eat' shop, and you can't believe there is a sign that Dragonslayer are not allowed! I was planing to eat there since weeks ...! "
Natsu's complaint was interrupted by Laxus fist, he then growled:
"That's not the reason why we are here!"
Natsu snorted, but he got Stings attention.
"What, Really !? The hung up a sign! Damn, this racism! I will .."
Growled Sting, but was now interrupted by a hit from Rougue.
"Well, we have called you all here, because we need to speak about Lucy, Thor and the Death Kings."
Said Laxus and it went silent in the clearing.
"We were already warned about the Death Kings, we're careful."
Said Rougue, but his interest seemed to be awakened. Laxus just nodded and continued.
"Yes, this isn't the problem, but when Master told us about it, he also mentioned to look after Wendy, Thor and 'Lucy' "
"Wait, why Lucy? And who is Thor?"
Asked Sting and Natsu replied:
"Thor is a childhood friend of Lucy, a Dragonslayer like us, but his father is the god Dragon Odin. And that with Lucy ... we have no idea."
I looked at Natsu quietly, but I saw that made him mad because Bunnygirl was his best friend.
"And that's not all, the two know more than they admit."
I said and the Laxus nodded. As Wendy rose her voice.
"He said I'm a semi-dragon ..."
We all froze, looking surprised at the youngest Dragonslayer. Then she told us about the conversation with Thor and what he had said to her.
"I was completely speechless. I asked him what that meant and told me that the system which we know was completely wrong .."
She told us the right system and also the difference of the generations. When she was finished, it was quiet again, and they all looked at Wendy with different eyes.
"That means you could become a dragon .."
Said Laxus into the silence, Wendy shivered slightly at his words. Natsu seeing her discomfort, stepped beside her and squeezed her hand. I was surprised by his gesture, well I think everyone was surprised.
"We are all Dragonslayers, no matter what generation we belong to and to be a dragon is super cool, right?"
He said with his usual grin.
"Right."
I just said, and you could see that a large burden was lifted from her. She smiled slightly and said:
"Well, thank you all for listening to me, but didn't you call us here to talk about something?"
Natsu nodded and said with a smile:
"I think there is a way to get our parents back, or rather a way to find all dragons!"
Everyone looked Natsu surprised, but he seemed completely happy with his plan which he had created.
"Thor told us that there is a dragon queen, who could sense all the dragons, if we find her, we find the other dragons!"
"But the Dragon Queen disappeared several years!"
I said, but I felt a glimmer of hope. I could finally, after years see Metallica again.
"Yes, but if we find the Death Kings, we can also find a trail to the queen."
"There is a dragon queen?"
Asked Rougue, Sting and Wendy simultaneously. Natsu told them the story that Thor had told us and when he was done, they had all an expression of hope in their face.
"Are you really so foolish to build on such a plan .."
Said a voice from the forest. All Dragonslayer straightened up and focused on that point.
Thor came out of the forest and his fiery red hair shone in the moon light. We all frozen. We had not smelled, nor heard him. This despite his abilities were blocked.
"Who are you!"
Growled Sting, his magic building up.
"I am Thor, son of Odin the god Dragon."
Stings power left went out and he stepped back.
"How do you know from the meeting?"
Asked Laxus, you could feel his hostility.
"My strength may be blocked, but my senses are still sharper than all of yours and I have trained years to become the guardian of the Queen."
He answered and smiled slightly. I winced, I had nor heard nor smelled him. Was this the abilities of a dragon-god slayer? He stepped closer and smiled cheerfully at Wendy, she smiled shyly back.
"Why do you find our plan so foolish?"
Asked Natsu, he looked at Thor with anger in his eyes. Thor smiled and answered.
"You want to march into the camp of the Death Kings and ask where the queen is?
Do you really think that they won't kill you, or torture you?"
I lowered my eyes and I felt like all the other did the same.
"The Dragon Queen, they experimented on her, they made her stronger, but she was a child at that time. Her mother, the former Dragon Queen, had managed to save her, but the mental pain the child had experienced broke her. Her mother put a spell on the girl, she let her forget everything, the pain, the hate, the magic. "
Thor now also lowered his eyes and it went quiet in the clearing.
"But what else can we do ?! We have to find the dragons, and don't they have Saphir, your mate! Are you such a coward that you won't try to safe your Mate!"
Growled Natsu angry. The Fist of Thor met him unexpectedly. Natsu flew into a tree, but he jumped up and his fist were now surrounded by his flames. He ran up to Thor trying to hit him in his face. He growled as Thor caught his fist. The smell of burning flesh, let me intervene. I went to Natsu and threw him away from Thor. He saw it coming and landed on his feets.
Thor laughed softly, his hands were completely burned, but the chains on his wrists were still in tact. His eyes stared at Natsu quietly, his voice was deafening.
"Do you really think you could defeat me, foolish little dragon! Even if my powers are blocked, I have lived longer than any of you. The god-dragons are not without reason, the Queen's Knight."
Natsu growled slightly. But he let his powers escape. Thor also lowered his fist, his burned hand didn't seem to bother him.
"I know you want to find the Dragons, as I want too and so I ask you, on behalf of the Queen, Do not fight against the Death Kings."
Said Thor, again it was quiet in the clearing. I felt Powerless, damn. We all knew we were still weak, we had to become stronger.
"Then train us, son of the god-dragon. Make us stronger so that we can fight against the Death Kings."
Everyone looked at Wendy surprised at she smiled and looked straight at Thor.
"If you're as good as you say. It would it be good if you train us .."
Said Sting, he seemed to like the new plan as he was pleased with the thought of becoming stronger. Thor smiled and nodded.
"If you want that .."
I saw Wendy, Sting and Rougue nod, they all wanted to be stronger. Natsu, looked at Thor with Hate in his eyes, he growled and walked away. Laxus snorted, but he followed Natsu in to the forest. I clenched my fists, as I turned around and also left the clearing.
Natsu POV
I stomped furiously through the forest. I could hear how Gajeel and Laxus joined me and were following me quietly. I was angry, so angry at Thor, but also angry at myself.
"Damn, wait Salamander!"
Growled Gajeel, his steps were faster and he pulled me back on my shoulders. I turned around and growled angrily:
"WHAT!"
I was surprised about my growling, but Gajeel looked at me calmly. I was the youngest of the three of us, but we knew all why I am so angry about everything.
"I hate to be so weak, I hate to do nothing and I hate that he knows Lucy so well.."
I said quietly, Gajeel let go of me and stepped back.
"Yes, I hate these all too."
I looked at him slightly surprised, but suddenly I winced. I knew what was wrong with me, but if Gajeel felt the same ...
"Lucy is my mate .."
Laxus said, my muscles tensed and I lowered my head. My fear came true. We all were Lucy's Mate.
"A mortal can have only one Mate."
said Gajeel and sighed. Everything was simply too much for me. I laughed without a reason, I laughed like a maniac, laughed and laughed. The woman I love, has two other which are interested in her, my best friend was hiding something from me and I found finally a way to find Igneel but I was to weak. I cursed myself that I had not said anything to Lucy, that I haven't claimed her as mine earlier. Why do I put myself always so stupid, even though I knew exactly what she felt.
I had tears in my eyes as I stopped laughing and my eyes fell on the other two which stood there silently. They looked at me calmly, I felt stupid next to them, but I would never show that side to them. As I finally spoke the words out which tormented me.
"We're all Lucy's mate .."
"Yeah, but only one can have her.."
Replied Laxus. Gajeel snorted, we saw that he also was angry at that fact. I took a deep breath, smiled my usual grin and held my fist against them.
"May Dragonslayer win, fair and square."
The others smiled and gave me a fist bump. I sighed, I couldn't show them how annoyed I was, of how angry I was.
"May the best man win Bunny girl .."
Said Gajeel, we all nodded and I leaned slightly exhausted against a tree.
"Do you still want to fight against the Death Kings?"
Asked Laxus us and I sighed again.
"We need to be stronger ... We need to excuse our self by Thor and take his offer .."
I replied and the other Dragonslayers sighed only. But Laxus smiled slightly and replied:
"For Lucy …"
Lucy POV
It was lunch time as Thor and I were in the guild and ate our meal together. I had a simple salad, while Thor had a big plate of steak. We talked about the house plan, as Erza ran into the Guild and looked around frantically. When our eyes met, she ran up to me.
"Erza .. What's the probl ..?"
I asked, but before I could finish my sentence she took me by the hand and ran with me to the kitchen, passing by Mira. She had huge eyes and followed us into the kitchen.
"Damn, Erza. What's wrong?"
I asked in horror, it seemed like she was in the middle of a nervous breakdown.
"Erza, what's wrong?"
Asked Mira, who just entered the kitchen and ran over to Erza.
"Oh Mavis, I think I'm going crazy! I'm getting married in three days, I .. I'm scared. What if he doesn't love me !?"
"Oh, he's crazy about you!"
I answered and squeezed the scarlet haired hands.
"Oh come on Erza! I've never seen you run away from a challenge!"
Said Mira, I could see the sparkle in her eyes. She was knocking on her old rival string and challenging her .
"I .. I'm not running away! Not from a challenge!"
A smile played on my lips when I heard this. The breakdown was over as soon as it started, but I looked at Mira knowing that this could possibly happen again. I sighed and said firmly:
"Do you love Jellal?"
This question let Erza wince, but she responded instinctively.
"Yes ... yes I love him."
Mira and I now grinned both. Even if she doubts everything, they were destined for each other.
"Hehe, sorry. I was just so ... Um yeahh..Lucy how's it going with your house?"
Said Erza, we both noticed that it was embarrassing for her. So the Big Titania was just a normal bride in the end. We all grinned at each other and I answered:
"Actually pretty good, all Dragonslayers are helping me and we're progressing well.
Thor and I wanted to go after we ate to the property, would you like to join us? It always good to have another mind and ideas with us."
Erza liked the idea, she seemed happy with trying to get her mind being somewhere else. I smiled and together we went out of the kitchen to Thor. He had already eaten his plate of steak but he was just eating my salad.
"Thor!"
I cried in horror, but he just grinned innocent. Erza laughed at my face, as I watched the remnants of my salad disappeared into Thor's mouth. I muttered to myself, but I was not angry. I was happy, so happy to be with everyone.
Lucy POV, by the house
I grinned and looked satisfied at the first floor and the basement of my house. Erza and I went through the first two finished floors and we were looking that everything was according to the blueprint, while Thor leaned satisfied against the wall.
Today was the third day where the three Dragonslayer should serve us. Today should be Natsu and Gajeel turn, but it looked more like as if they all, even Laxus, helped voluntarily. My eyes fell again on the three, their naked torso took me to other thoughts. I desperately tried to concentrate, but I watched with the corner of my eyes, as Gajeel raised a large trunk up. I watched him as his muscles tense as he lifted the heavy load.
"Earth to Lucy! Damn, you look like you're about to drool"
Erza's words brought me back to reality. My hand automatically went to my mouth, hoping it wasn't true, but I got only redder as I wiped it away.
Laxus POV
I stared Gajeel angrily, we all noticed Lucy looks, But as she started to drool at Gajeels sight, brought me out of my mind. (Although, he wished that she would drool at his sight.) The worst of all was Gajeels grin as he knew of Blondies look and he enjoyed it very much.
I sighed and continued work.
My eyes fell on Thor, which was leaning completely relaxed against the wall watching Erza and Lucy. Yesterday we went all to him, asking for forgiveness, we felt humiliated but we knew that we have to become stronger. His gaze was intense, was knowing as he noticed that I was staring at him. It was a staring competition and I needed this win ... If not for the smell of something powerful went trough the plot. Horrified, I could only watch as Lucy fell down like a rock ..
Lucy POV
"Where am I..."
I asked in to the blackness that surrounded me. I was back in the Void, only this time I did not feel so hurt. The Void turned suddenly into bright light and I stood in a cave. I did not know where I was, it was cold and still dark. But I could smell it ... dragons. I turned around frantically, trying to find them desperately, them... My people, my race...
"My queen..."
Said a weak voice, suprised I turned around as I saw them finally .. I felt like I couldn't breath, as I saw 12 dragons chained to a wall ...
Thor POV
"You damned hormone controlled dragons, give her space to breathe!"
Growled Thor, the three hormone-controlled dragon growled back angrily. I looked anxiously back to Lucy. Erza had cached Lucy in her fall and now she was lying unconscious in Erza's arms. Distressed went my view between the unconscious Lucy and the Three Dragonslayers.
"Why did that happen!?"
Asked Laxus, he seemed to be the quietest of the three. I winced slightly, but thank all the gods , as a bright blazing light appeared. Surprised, I stepped away a few steps when a man in a suit stood in front of me.
"Do not worry Laxus, Lucy is okay."
Said the man in the suit, I smelled him. He wasn't human, as I remembered. He was one of Lucy's Spirits, Loke! She told me that he was from all sprits one of the strongest and whenever she felt bad he appeared by himself.
"What do you mean by good!"
Growled Natsu angry:
"Is collapsing something good?"
Natsu looked like he was losing his mind.
"Calm down Natsu, Lucy is strong."
Answered Erza, she was completely calm and held her friend firmly. As she finally began to slowly move. All eyes watched Lucy as she straightened up slowly.
"Lucy? Do you remember what happened?"
Asked Erza quietly, Lucy looked at her and tears were falling down her cheeks. A quiet sobbing came from her and she clung herself to Erza. Erza just held her friend and rocked her back and forth slightly. I knew nothing more ...
Lucy POV
"Are you feeling better?"
Asked Erza me, we were in the guild and my friends were all worried about me. I nodded weakly. I still felt the terror in my bones .. By all gods.
I had to talk to Master and Thor, I thought, as my eyes went to Thor who just came up to me with a strawberry milkshake. I smiled gratefully and took the cold drink with my trembling hands.
"What Happened Lucy? Talk to us, please."
Said Natsu, I looked at him with tired eyes. They had brought me to Wendy, but she hadn't found anything. Natsu, Wendy, Erza and Thor all looked at me anxiously. Laxus and Gajeel, sat at the other side of the guild, but I felt their eyes on me.
"I'm fine, Minna. I think I haven't eaten much and my body was protesting, since Thor ate my lunch."
All eyes were now on Thor, he only whistled innocently. Mira sighed and disappeared to fetch me something to eat in the kitchen.
"Maybe she's pregnant!"
Replied Thor as a joke and it went quiet. Gajeel, Natsu and Laxus stared at me in horror , but I only chuckled at his joke. Mira just came back with a delicious looking plate filled with spaghetti. I ate my food, hoping that my friends would calm down.
? POV
I grinned when I finally found her. I smelled her, she was inside this building. Fairy Tail stood there in big letters. I smiled as I entered the big building. My eyes fell immediately on the four Dragonslayer, I didn't know three of them, but I smelled fire, lightning and iron. My eyes went to the other Dragonslayer with the red hair, Thor. It has been a while since I've seen him. As finally my gaze went to the girl sitting beside him. Blond hair, eyes as dark as chocolate and a smile which saved me many years ago... Lucy ..
Thor POV
We all looked surprised at the person who had entered the building. I immediately smelled her, it was a Dragonslayer, and not just any Dragonslayer, but a First Generation Dragonslayer and I only knew one 1st generation Dragonslayer ... Saffire Sanguis.
The Dragonslayer smiled as I saw her gaze fall on Lucy, I winced.
"Lucyy, my Q …"
More she couldn't say, because I ran up to her and pulled her away.
"Thor!"
Shouted Lucy shocked, but I pulled the Dragonslayer up to the office. Lucy jumped up and followed me to the office. The eyes of all my nakames followed us when I went straight to Masters Office.
Cursing I opened the door and shoved the girl inside, Lucy who had followed us quickly went inside, as I closed the door behind us.
"It's been a while Thor ..."
Said the smaller girl, she sighed when she put down her teal hood, revealing her face. Lucy let out a little scream as she saw the girls face, falling down again as her memories over took her.
