The two angels had decended to stand before the guild master. Kaleb had a large smile spread across his face. He had been listening in on their pair as the flew above the other members. Zens thoughts swirled around pride and ecourangement for the little blonde, she now had decent control over her wings. Lucy, wow Lucy's thoughts were all over. Excitement, joy, freedom, thrill, and most of all love. Already the young mage loved having her wings, being able to feel the air currents through each individual flap. She also couldn't wrap her head around the idea that her wings would now defend her, something she had always struggled with. All in all the little mage was in for a wonderful day.
"Alright you two, enough fun for the afternoon. We have things to do and people to see." Kaleb says before turning and heading out of the training room.
Lucy sighed and turned to jog quickly into the changing room, she knew Kaleb is a patient man but something in his smile urged her to hurry up. You're right Lucy, I am feeling a little impatient today. Kalebs voice sounded in her head. Straightening up and whipping her head around her surrounding she could have sworn he had walked the opposite way of her to leave. Oh I did, I'm simply in your head. Taking a deep breath Lucy shook her head and hoped he meant that in the way he was telepathically comunicating with her and not her subconscious had for some gods foresaken reason created her inner voice duplicating the White Sea guild masters voice, no matter how smooth and rich of a timber he has. Hearing the hearty and deep laugh echo in her head she knew it was actually Kaleb, no way would her inner voice laugh at her musings. Oh Stella you humor me so, now hurry that cute ass up we have things to do. With that Lucy hurried to finish putting her genie outfit back on. She couldn't help but run her fingers over the beautiful material, it was better than anything she had ever bought in Mangolia.
Speaking of home, she really needed to get back there. Poor master Laxus is probably swamped in paper work and financial work. Not that Lucy didn't think the master could take care of it, but there was still so much he was trying to learn to manage she liked being able to lighten his work load. Maybe she should give him a call to check in, or possibly Freed. As soon as Kaleb is done dragging her wherever they're off to she needs to find Bixy and ask him when their stay is over. Gods and stars just the thought of leaving this wonderful place made Lucy's fragile heart almost break. She had come to love each and every one of Bixys family members, their chief Mr Elan included. Nothing was really waiting for her back there other than Laxus, not that she wouldn't miss Levy or Gajeel, Cana and Mira. Freed and Ever of course, but each and everyone of them is moving on in their lives and Lucy really really felt like she belongs here in Bosco... It could be something to consider.
Picking up her bag she rushed a little to get out of the training room, reaching the last set of stairs to the main level she practically ran smack dab into Umbra.
"Woah where's the fire Stellula?" He teases as holding onto her upper arms so she didn't fall back down the stairs.
"Hey Umbra, kinda in a rush Kaleb says we have places to go."
"Oh does he now? How about you and I take a little trip into town?" A mischievous smile streched across his handsome face.
Lucy attempted to get out of his hold however instead of letting go Van simply pulled her flush against him. "Ah ah ah, can't run away from the big bad wolf. How about we make the old grandma guild master chase the wolf who has the bunny?"
Before Lucy could try and respond they were consumed by the voids. She could feel the slithering of the shadows across her skin. She clung to Vander as much as possible, the cold emptiness not something she wanted to play with. Knowing what sort of creatures could reside there she kept her face buried in Vans chest. With a whoosh they were deposited in the middle of city center right outside of a clothing shop. Grabbing her hand the dastardly wolf decided to drag her into the shop.
Inside was lit by soft candle glow, helping set a calming atmosphere. All around were swatches of beautiful fabrics, ranging from all sorts of colors and textures. Lucy couldn't help but run her fingers along them as they passed. Obviously Van had something in mind and she was just along for the ride. He tugged her past the pretty fabrics to the back of the shop, through a doorway covered in hanging beads.
"Eden baby, you back here?" He called out.
"Don't you know it love." Responded a sensual womanly voice. Following some rustling a tall lithe woman with a dark Carmel complexion stepped out. She has rich dark chocolate locks, tied back with gems and in braids to her waist. Sage colored eyes lined in charcoal locked on Van, her body covered in a gauzy light green cropped off the shoulder top and billowy light pants. There is intricate dark leafs woven into the clothing covering her most intimate parts, along with small golden flowers through out. It was probably the most gorgeous outfit that Lucy had seen in her whole adventure here, especially the glittering emeralds and jade that lined the top of her pants and her sweetheart bust line.
"Ah! Is this she?" Eden asked as she all but ran up to Lucy and grabbed her face to plant a kiss. Normally Lucy would have pulled away as soon as it happened but Edens lips tasted like rum and exotic spice. Lucy let herself melt into the other woman for a second, it was the clearing of Vans throat that brought Lucy back to reality. Pulling away she could feel the heat in her cheeks and the dazed look in her eyes. Eden continued to hold her face as she licked her lips. "Mmm wild peaches, sweet and cute like you." She commented before poking Lucy nose and stepping back.
Eden circled Lucy slowly, once then twice. Lucy just stood still knowing just by the smile on Vans face she had to deal with this.
"Yes, short but curvy in all the right places. I mean look at this bust and that bottom. This will be fun indeed. Now hold on where did I put that.." She mumbled as she walked off further into the back of the room.
She came back not a second later with a measuring tape and some small square of fabric. Lucy could hardly open her mouth to ask a question before Eden was grabbing her wrist firmly and dragging her deeper into the dimly lit room. Through a couple of twists and turns that had Lucy second guessing how large this room actually was Eden stopped in front of a dark door. Putting a set of keys from gods knows where she unlocked the door and all but shoved Lucy in before her. The room itself was more lit then the first room in the building, yet still only held candles. This much smaller room has incense that smells like white sage, how fitting. In the center of the room is a round plateform maybe only half a foot off the ground, the far wall across from them is just mirrors floor to celing. Both sides of the room have beautiful tapestries with nature and animals, other than the floating candles and two end tables with a couple of cups and a note pad that was it. If Lucy didn't know any better it almost screamed summoning room to her.
With firm hands Eden pushed Lucy forward and up onto the platform, which was round enough with about a two feet diameter.
"Alright Peaches, I need you to strip I have some measurements to take." Sighing Lucy dropped her bag before once again undressing that day, and she wasn't even going to bed! Instead of her normal shyness Lucy felt empowered in the gaze of Eden. Her green eyes were intense and almost predatory, Lucy could of sworn for a moment there her pupils looked slit like a snakes. Instead of scaring her however she felt beautiful, there was a look of adoration in her gaze aimed at Lucy. It was strange how does one person make her feel so at ease in her presence in only a few minutes.
Eden again did her circling, this time however she came closer to Lucy. Ghosting her chilled fingers along Lucy's warm skin. "Eden.." She whispered getting slightly nervous.
"Hush darling, I just need a quick feel to have exact measurements." Eden mumbled back as her agile fingers deftly went across Lucy skin. A second later she stepped back.
"All done sweets, let me grab you something to just throw on quickly. I will have your clothes in no time." With that Eden left the room, Lucy grabbed onto a strand of her golden hair to play with in the mean time. Lucy couldn't help but wonder what Vans game was, drag her to the city center to buy her clothes from a woman who somehow already knew of her? Lucy's suspicious radar was suddenly starting to activate.
The door opened and turning towards it Lucy was expecting Eden however Van stood there poking his head is with a devious smirk. He waggled his eye brows and licked his lips. Instead of giving into the nerves inching at the edge of her subconscious Lucy let her arms drop from her breasts and a sultry smile spread across her face. Gracefully stepping down from the pedestal she swung her hips as she approached the door. Lucy loved every second of Vans unwavering starring at her body, it made her feel even more empowered. Van had straightened up as she got to the door, easily seeing the clothing in one of his hands. Lucy let one hand press on his chest as she looked up at him, while the other reached for the fabric in his hold. "Oh Van... thanks!" She said before grabbing the clothing and pushing against his chest to shove him out of the door only to slam it shut in his face. The smile never wavering as Vans face sombered once he realized what she had done.
Lucy bent over in a fit of giggle reliving what had just happened over and over. The look on Vans face just killed her, it was too good. Straightening she wiped a tear from her eye before unfurling the bundle of fabric. In her hands was a simple black halter dress, slipping it over her head it flowed down her body like rolling water. It was loose enough that when she turned the bottom swished this way and that, yet the top still covered the esensials, giving away a bit of lovely side boob. Still snickering Lucy sat on the platform and simply admired the tapestries on the walls.
They are simlar in look yet different pictures. Both hold a woman to had an uncanny resemblance to Eden surrounded by wild animals and flowers. In one the woman was nude standing under a tree and reaching up to grab an apple. There was a man with long reddish hair kneeling near her, and a snake up in the tree by the apple she was reaching for. Everything around then lush and full of life. A stream of water separated the two people from all of the animals that were roaming the grassland on the other side. The second one was of the same woman lying nude once again on a bed of flowers right next to water fall. There are animals surrounding and curled up next to her as she bathed in the dying sun rays. A beautiful sun set painted across the sky.
By the time Lucy was done admiring the art the door opened once again, turning to look she was met by the smiling face of Eden.
"Here were are honey." She said while handing Lucy a black box. "Inside you will find an outfit perfect outfit for tonight." "Tonight?" Lucy pondered. Eden covering her mouth let out an airy giggle. "Oh no, we'll never mind that sugar, let's get you out of here before the nanny catches up." Once again Lucy's suspicions raise up. "Eden..." Lucy said.
"Yes cutiepie?" She responded. "Were those tapestries that looked centuries old of one of your ancestors? There was an uncanny resemblance between you and the woman." Lucy asked. A humorous and dangerous glint entered Edens eyes as a secretive smile pulled at her full lips."What's a smart cookie you are Peaches, that's a story for another time. Off you go, Satan has more to do with you." Was Edens answer before Lucy is pushed into Vans waiting arms and one again swallowed by his shadows.
