Hiya everyone! Before we begin I need everyone's opinion. I'm considering making this into a M rated fic, but I need some input whether I should or not you guys decide! I do not own fairy tail, and here we go with chapter 6!
LUCY POV
In total I had gotten 6 of my spirits to agree to help train me, Loke, Taurus, Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Scorpio, who'd promised to help when he wasn't out on a date (which, apparently, was almost every day.)
Aries wasn't comfortable attacking her key-holder and decided to help teach me small celestial defense spells instead. With my team ready to teach me, my training began.
[DAY 1]
I know I said I needed training… but didn't expect it to be like this! A quick bolt of light zapped me from behind, knocking me to the ground. Aries sounded a buzzer, signaling I'd just died if I were in a real fight.
That darn buzzer had gone off countless times by now and Loke wouldn't let up with the sneak attacks. Frustrated I yelled, "That was such a cheap shot Loke and you know it!" Afterall, I was currently in combat with Gemini, not Loke. The lion spirit smiled and said, "You have to be prepared to handle any foe, in any situation, princess! It's all part of your training"
He ended his explanation with a wink and seemingly vanished, unsurprisingly showing up behind me again. This time I was prepared and swung around in a swirling Lucy Kick. I heard a laugh and felt my leg grabbed by another Loke.
"Now now princess, that won't work on us". I connected the dots and exclaimed, "Gemini! That's not fair!" Gemini popped apart and laughed at me in sync as I fell to the ground and pouted.
The real Loke chuckled and lifted me up. "Sorry Lucy, your training session for today has barely even gotten started," he said. My mouth fell open as I yelled, "EHHH?!"
[After training]
GENERAL POV
Lucy lowered herself into Aries's ginormous bathtub, wincing at the hot water touching her exposed fresh wounds.
"Ahhh… this is the life" she sighed. After finishing up with her bath she decided she needed to study up on this so-called "perfect guild for her". She asked Aries for information and was directed to the celestial library, which could have some info if she was lucky.
The celestial mage took her time on her walk, admiring all the surrounding houses and small shops. There were spirits she'd never been able to find in the human world wandering around the plaza, going about their lives. She'd been told that some of these spirits' keys were lost to humankind, or simply didn't want to form a contract and stayed in the celestial world.
There were small animals rushing about hurriedly and to her surprise a few fairy-looking women wandering around the clothes shops. Only one spirit she saw really stood out. A tall man wearing all white was sitting on a nearby bench flipping through a magazine. Curiously she noticed he had a nearly identical scarf to Natsu's… Dragon Scales.
The second she made that connection a large bird spirit walked in between herself and the man. After the bird passed, the man was gone. Lucy made a mental note to ask Loke about him and see if he knew who he was.
[At the Library]
The blonde lied her face down on the table and let out a huge groan of frustration. There were no books anywhere about a guild called 'Sabertooth'. The old lady had to be wacky! She was starting to pack up when she noticed a book glowing pure white up on the 3rd floor.
It was so bright she could see it from the 1st floor, yet nobody else seemed to notice it. She began making her way up the stairs to the third floor when a large sign painted "RESTRICTED ACCESS" blocked the entrance to the 3rd-floor staircase.
Even more determined now the blonde looked around and decided to sneak upstairs later, and hid in between rows of books until closing time.
After everyone had left the library, she took out her whip and used it to grab onto the 3rd-floor railing, deciding to mountain climb up a pillar like a badass.
She'd almost made it up when a loud voice screeched, "What exactly do you think you're doing?!" Startled by the sudden voice Lucy lost her grip and began to fall. The person ran over and caught her, when Lucy opened her eyes she recognized it to be Lyra.
"Lucy? What the heck are you doing here?" she asked as she was setting the blonde down. Lucy shook her head to chase away her nerves and answered, "I saw a glowing book up there, I really wanted to see it. Sorry, Lyra…" The mage visibly slouched and twirled her thumbs in worry. Lyra huffed.
"Lucy those books are off limits, you need special permission from the King to see them! If you had touched that book, the spell placed over it would have sent you straight to the King's jail." Lyra shook her head and led her key holder to a table.
Lucy was flabbergasted, "Oh my god, thank you for stopping me! I'd be toast if you didn't show up!" the girl laughed.
"But, why are you here Lyra? Do you work here?" Lyra nodded her head, "Yes I do. I'm supposed to place all of the books back into order with my magic."
Lucy gave her a confused stare. The singing spirit laughed. "Here, watch". With that, she began to sing and all of the surrounding books started to float and wiggle into their proper places. Lucy looked on in awe.
"I didn't know you could do that!" she exclaimed. Lyra laughed again, "You never asked Lucy!"
[Lyra walking Lucy home]
"So, can you tell me anything about that book? It was glowing brighter than anything I've ever seen but nobody else seemed bothered by it."
Lyra shrugged, "No idea. But if you really want to read it that bad you need to go through the King."
Lucy perked up remembering how good of terms she was on with the King. "That shouldn't be too hard! Why's it up there anyway?"
"I couldn't tell you. They were all sealed off year 777 with no explanation."
Lucy's eyes widened. "777?" Lyra nodded. Her curiosity on full detective mode she knew she had to go straight to the king.
That's all! I felt super inspired so here's the next chapter super soon! I'll try to post the next one tomorrow but honestly doubtful. Please review! If you want to answer my question in the header you can message me 3
