A Celestial Mage's Dragons

From Chapter 7

After much convincing and finally Lyra playing a song to put them to sleep, Loke and Virgo take the trio to a nearby hotel while Lucy profusely apologizes about their behavior.

Chapter Eight: Gifts and Interviews

After finally getting the slayers sorted out at the hotel he goes back to Blue Pegasus to speak with Master Bob as he promised. Walking into Master Bob's office he could see the he had remodeled it. There was a large antique couch with white trim and blue velvet fabric in the center of the room, 2 matching chairs on either side, an antique large desk with blue trim and his chair which has a high back and blue velvet. To the back left corner was an older styled gazebo with a white marble hot tub built into the floor. There were blue skies with clouds painted on the walls. The office is absolutely stunning. He's never seen a place so beautiful in his life.

After taking a seat on the couch and loosening his tie he looks up at Master Bob who has his elbows on the top of the desk with his head sitting in his hands smiling and excited. He needs to know more and since Karen would never let Loke tell him anything of the spirit world, he feels like he has a front row seat.

"So where do I begin. Hmmm."

"At the beginning of course I shouldn't say child considering your beyond years. At the beginning of this new adventure for our sweet Lucy."

"Of course. Well as we were in the battle of Tartaros Lucy was put in a very difficult position. As she was fighting Jackal she realized that she was running low on magic but still continued to keep calling each of us out one by one until she had finally done it. She had opened three gates at one time. It was Virgo, Aquarius and myself when Virgo and I begged her to close our gates for her sake. Well Lucy is not as weak as everyone thinks, she is one of the most stubborn and dedicated celestial mages I've ever known. After Aquarius got caught off guard by another demon Jackal blasted us closing our gates. The three demons started to surround Lucy so Jackal could use his blasting curse on her when Aquarius goes to Lucy's aid. Aquarius knew she couldn't defeat all of the demons she convinces Lucy to break her key to summon the Spirit King since she was now strong enough to. Lucy didn't want to, she'd rather die than to harm any of us but she wouldn't be harming Aquarius, only locking her in the spirit world until a new key would be forged. To save Fairy Tail and everyone else, she broke the key of her longest held spirit. She always saw Aquarius as a mother and it broke her to break her key."

Sniffling and pulling tissues out of his top he looks at Loke. "That poor sweet Lucy is so strong. She really loves you spirits doesn't she."

"She does. She even saved my life and became good friends with the Spirit King as he saw that she showed true loyalty to all of us spirits. She has gone well past surpassing her mother Layla."

"Wait, Layla of Love and Lucky?!"

"Yes, do you know of her?"

"Oh my of course I do. I was very intrigued with her since she is a celestial mage herself.

She was so beautiful. She had joined with her husband Jude but left so that Jude could continue with his business ventures. How has Layla been?"

Sighing and having a pained look in his face, "She passed when Lucy was very, very young of magic depletion. Aquarius was actually Layla's spirit but was passed down to Lucy. Lucy opened her very first gate as a small child."

Master Bob's tears ran heavier hearing what Lucy had gone through for so long but now understands her love for her spirits. She truly is her mother's daughter. "Please continue about how Lucy ended up with three slayers."

"Yes. Well after being able to open the third gate and summon him, and the simple fact that he has a soft spot for Lucy, he decided to give her an offer no celestial mage can refuse. She has been honored with the offer of becoming a celestial spirit after her human life ends."

"Oh my, she's going to become a spirit?"

"Not just any spirit though. The spirit king sees her as a daughter and has decided to make her the Spirit Princess which all of us are very excited for. We all call her princess now so it won't change anything."

"That is wonderful, but it still doesn't explain the slayers."

"Well, because she only has this lifetime left on earth, she will be mated to all unmated dragon slayers this lifetime to make up for the lost matings in her future human lifetimes."

"I just hope she can handle all of this clashing personalities. I have read articles about them and heard the stories from Makarov, his grandson is stubborn; Natsu is a hot head and Rogue is quiet and subdued."

"Lucy will probably be driven insane but she can handle them. They all want nothing but to keep her happy. As long as she is happy they will do as she asks."

"And you Loke, how has your heart been seeing her with all of them?"

Shocked that master Bob knew he blushed and sweat dropped. "I wouldn't be allowed to be with her anyways at this time. I can not get into a romantic relationship with my master. Karen broke the rule to simply sleep with me but I do love Lucy. I am just going to wait. Her lifetime is short compared to how long I have lived. Once she has passed and is welcomed into the spirit world, I have already been given permission to woo her as long as she agrees."

"Loke, promise me that you won't expect her to just be with you. Let her decide it on her own. But in the meantime as you wait, you might as well try dating that cute ram spirit. What was her name?"

"Aries. Ye she is beautiful but I don't know. We kind of been together before but Lucy. Lucy is so different."

"Just promise me Loke."

"I promise."


Lucy finally makes it to the hotel after spending time explaining her slayers' behavior and gently turning Hibiki down. Of course Jason couldn't wait to interview the foursome for next week's issue. Now she has to go deal with that tomorrow and she doesn't even know if the slayers would even be interested doing it.

As she walks into the room she sees a large bed in the center with three cots covered by the men she would now call her mates. They were all still sleeping and now all Lucy wanted to do was fall into the large bed and doze of herself. As she drifted into sleep she could feel a warmth cover her body. It wasn't too hot and it was so familiar. Then she could smell the scent of ash around her. She got her heater back and she couldn't be happier.


The next morning Laxus and Rogue started to wake up and realized Lucy wasn't in her bed but Natsu was sprawled all over it. What the hell does that wit think he's doing sleeping in Blondie's bed. We haven't even talked about stuff like this yet. When they hear voices outside and realize that Lucy was talking to her spirits. They are visiting to give her gifts for her birthday. The Spirit King granted all the spirits enough power to come to the human world on their own. So far Lucy had already seen Pyxis, Horologium, Plue, Crux, Aries, Gemini, Sagittarius, Taurus and Cancer. She was currently listening to Capricorn recite the poem that he had written for her. It was long and was starting to bore Lucy but she still loved it all the same. After a hug and goodbye, Scorpio had shown up with a beautiful Sand Castle Sculpture.

"Princess I have something else for you. It's from Aquarius." He pulls out a necklace with a water ball pendent. "She also gave me this letter for you. She said that I couldn't read it that it was for you." Taking the letter and necklace from him, she put the necklace on immediately, holding the pendant in her hand rubbing it. It was odd because it immediately calmed.

Stupid Girl:

I'm not your spirit anymore but my boyfriend is so here is a stupid gift for your stupid birthday. You better wear it all the time and not take it off. Now leave me and Scorpio alone for at least a week. We're going on vacation.

Aquarius

Shaking her head, smiling with tears in her eyes she looks up at Scorpio. "Thank you I love it and please tell Aquarius that I love her gift as well and thank you. I promise I will never take it off." They hugged and he was replaced by the last of her spirits, Lyra. She always went last because her gift always made Lucy cry and she doesn't want the rest of her spirits to see her crying.

Lyra sat in the chair with her harp and starts to play a beautiful song. Then she starts to sing a sweet song that a mom would typically sing to her child. As she sung the smell of salt from Lucy's tears wafted into the room. As Laxus and Rogue began to get up to comfort Lucy, Natsu stood in the doorway of the balcony. Nodding his head to the front door of the room, signaling them to go talk. Reluctantly they followed him to the hallway.

"Natsu, why are you just letting Lucy sit there and cry." Putting his hand up to keep them for asking any more questions, he hung his head and spoke firmly.

"Lyra is singing Lucy the song Layla use to sing to her when she was really small. Before she died. Lucy asked Lyra to sing that song to her every year on her birthday. I have attempted many times to comfort her but she insists that she needs this. It's the small moment that she can feel like her mother is there celebrating with her. Please don't interrupt them. This is for her."

Both Rogue and Laxus had felt guilty for attempting to interrupt such a sentimental moment for their mate. Nodding they decide to go back into the room. Lucy was already sitting on the large bed drying her eyes and rubbing the pendant. Calm washed over her again. I don't know why this keeps happening but I am happy it is. Feeling eyes on her she turns around to see the three men looking at her with sympathy. Blushing from the fact that they still hadn't stop looking at her she turn back around hoping that they hadn't seen her turn beat red. They did but they let her compose herself.

She was packing her bag and getting anxious. "Well we should pack up and get going. I want to get home right away. I find out today if I was able to buy the Konzern."

Curious Natsu looks at Lucy, "Wait what is a Konzern?"

Shaking her head at his forgetfulness, "it's a property, the Heartfilia Konzern. Where I use to live."

"Why would you want to live there? You can just move into my place."

Sweat dropping, "Natsu you're place is too tiny. You just have hammocks for you and happy. Not even a real bed."

"Well then let's get home so Lucy can find out. Don't be too upset though if you don't buy it Blondie. It's a huge place and it took all of our s-class missions just to raise up enough money."

Stomping her foot down, "Don't say things like that. I need to get it. It's the only way I can see my mom again." Tears had filled her eyes at this.

Rogue being the closest to her at the moment immediately went to hold and comfort her. "Lulu, it's okay. We'll figure something out."

"Dammit Laxus why the hell would you say something like that to Luce."

"I'm sorry Blondie I'm not trying to bring you down, I just know how these things work."

After calming Lucy down they finished packing and left back to Magnolia. They were able to get some of Wendy's motion sickness pills from Gajeel the night before at. When Lucy had dozed off on the train Laxus decided to bring up his surprise with the two other slayers.

"I need you guys to know she won't be buying the Konzern. I already know who bought it."

"Wait, how do you know who bought it?"

Pulling out a beautiful yellow box with black ribbon out of his pocket he hands it to Rogue. Rogue looks at the box for a moment and then opens in. Inside are a set of keys with a keychain attached. "Heartfilia Konzern". His eyes widened and he looked at Natsu and then Laxus. "You bought it!"

"Yeah. I wanted to give it to her for her birthday/engagement gift. I was going to give it to her at the party, but things….. changed."

"Are you going to tell her before or after she gets the call that she didn't win the bid?"

"I was thinking about doing it after she gets the call but I don't want to see her cry again. I'm going to tell her as soon as we get back home."

"Lightening pole you better tell her right away. I don't want to see her upset even more than she already was back at the hotel!"

"Oi, fire breath I am NOT going to make her cry again. I swear you don't even listen."

Rogue thinking about what will happen when they get home made him realize they hadn't even discussed anything in regards to living arrangements or a schedule. Looking at the arguing men he clears his throat getting their attention, "I think it's about time we start to discuss this situation that we are in. Living arrangements, things like that."

Laxus sat back and crossed his arms in front of his chest. "I guess don't know about you two but Blondie and I will be moving into the Konzern very soon. I know as soon as she finds out she'll want to go there."

Natsu continued, "I told her to come live with me. Shadow boy over here doesn't even have a place close enough for her to move into."

"Well, let's wait for Lulu to wake up and talk to her then. We can always let her decide. I can always find a place out here easily. I am an S-Class mage after all. I will just have to leave Sabertooth and join Fairy Tail. I will follow Lucy wherever she goes."


As the train comes to a stop the four mages leave the train and go straight to Lucy's apartment to drop her off. She can't wait to find out if she was able to buy the Konzern. She wants to visit her mother so badly but can not until she is able to access the property again.

When she got to her apartment she was about to open the door when Laxus pulled her aside. "Blondie we need to talk."

"Okay can we go inside first though. No sense in waiting out side is there?"

"Um, y-yeah let's go inside." Turning to the other two slayers. "Stay out here."

"And why would I do that lightening freak?"

"Because flame brain this doesn't involve you. It is between me and Lucy."

"Laxus, I will talk to Natsu. Go ahead and discuss your matter with Lulu."

Laxus grunted and led Lucy inside, shutting the door behind them. Lucy immediately went to walk to her communications lacrima which was blinking, a sign that a message was left. "Lucy, please come here and talk to me before you check your messages. I don't ask for immediate attention often but this matter is really important."

Feeling concerned she walked over to the couch and both her and Laxus sat facing each other. Laxus pulled out the same box from before and Lucy started to smile and looked at him. "What's this?"

"It's your birthday slash engagement present. It took me a little while to get it, but I knew it was exactly what you would want." Lucy slowly opened the box and as soon as her eyes hit the set of keys she knew exactly what they go to. "Is that why you told me not to get my hopes up. You're my competing bid?!" Laxus smiled seeing how excited that she was and was almost knocked over when she lunged at him, attacking him with a tight hug and kiss. After a few moments she released her hold on him and pulled back to look at him again.

"Laxus. Thank you. This gift is the most amazing gift. I can't believe you'd buy it for me knowing I was already trying to."

"Lucy, I wanted you to finally be able to see your mom whenever you wanted. Not just once a year when you get permission. Visiting her isn't a privilege it's a right. She's your mother. Also, I'm having your father moved in next to your mother. I know that they both would have wanted this." Her tears ran down her cheeks and she held the keys close to her chest. She didn't need to say anything. He already knew that this is what she needed. Closure, a way to still be close to her parents without them actually still being alive.

Regaining her composure she sat straight up with her most award winning and adorable smile, "So when do we move in?"

"As soon as you want Blondie. The staff has been there for about two weeks now making preparations for your return. Oh the stories I've heard about a little Lucy." Blushing, she sheepishly looked away for a few moments then back to Laxus. "What about Rogue and Natsu. Since I'm mated to all three of you I'm sure that we all need to be close. I don't want to have to travel from place to place to be with all of you. I know there is well more than plenty of rooms for all of us to live there together. Would you be okay with that?"

His eyes showed how unhappy he was about the request. His chest growled but he knew he had to keep his composure. He wasn't going to disappoint her but he really didn't want them there. He knows that they are all mated to her but this wasn't the plan. None of it was. He was suppose to be mated and marry Lucy Heartfilia, making her Lucy Dreyar, his loving wife. They would move into the Konzern, have children and live out their lives together. He wasn't suppose to have to share his Blondie with anyone else and now he has no choice. Thinking about what Lucy said about having to travel upset him even more. He didn't want her far from him as no mated slayer does. Looking into her beautiful chocolate eyes that seemed to be begging him to say yes he lifts her and puts her on his lap.

"If you can promise me that we will figure out how this whole sharing thing works, I'm sure we can work it out having them move into the Konzern with us. I don't know how the last group did it but I think we need to start researching and figuring it out before the three of us try to kill each other." With a giggle she wrapped her arms around Laxus' neck and kissed him on his mating mark sending shivers down his back. "Thank you Sparky."

After their conversation, Lucy opened the door to find the other two slayers sitting on the ground keeping to themselves. "Hey why don't you two come inside. I'll make us all some tea."


After much begging and convincing, Lucy got the slayers to do the interview with her at Jason of Sorcerer Weekly's office. They're going to be the front page news this edition and Lucy was beyond excited. Not only was she going to be in Sorcerer Weekly but so were her trio of mates.

"Cool, cool cool!" Jason was so excited about the interview. He knew that this weeks edition would sell even more copies than ever. Having the hot Celestial Mage Lucy and three dragon slayers would really pull people's attention. He will definitely be following them around a lot.

"So Lucy, when did you end up mating with three dragon slayers? I mean this is a big deal and no one even knows yet."

"Well, at my birthday party a couple nights ago."

"Cool, Cool, Cool. But I thought dragon slayers didn't share a mate. How did you end up bagging three of them?"

"Well, I was granted the honor to become a celestial spirit when my human life ends. Because of this any unmated slayers would immediately become my mate. I just so happen to be very close with Natsu, Laxus and Rogue so it is a big bonus." She smiled looking at the three sitting on the other side of Jason.

"Laxus, I know you and Lucy have been dating for sometime now. How do you feel about the situation?"

Grunting he scowls his face, "Whatever ment to happen for Blondie it will. I don't like it but no dragon slayer would."

"Oi, power plant, you think I want to share Luce with you either. I fucking hate this shit." He stands to get into Laxus' face.

"Yikes, well Rogue you haven't said much. What are your feelings about this?"

"I don't like the idea honestly, but I will respect anything and everything that comes with Lulu's mate. She will always have everything that is owed to her."

"Cool, cool, cool."

After the interview was over, Jason decided to do the photoshoot since he actually had all four in his office. Taking them all to the room he had them all posing together and then a photo of each dragon slayer alone with Lucy.
