Lucy's hands dug into the cold earth beneath her . She was having another dream. Victoria sat in the corner of the room looking no different from her last visit.
"Hello again Lucy" Victoria signaled with her hands. Lucy didn't understand why she'd be here. There had been no dream like this in days. The heavy feeling in the air was new. It was like a funeral in there.
"You've noticed." Victoria's piercing green eyes examined Lucy before she continued.
"The demigods are coming and they're as powerful as ever. If you don't win I won't be able to show myself." For a split second, Lucy thought that maybe she had something to do with Teumessian. Impossible. Lucy had seen Teumessian before even if it was for a short time.
"That's a silly thought Lucy" Victoria signaled. The blond was shocked 'She can read minds!'
"I knew Teumessian but I'm not her. I'm in need of your help though. I'm the-" Lucy shot up. Natsu was sleeping on the floor beside her bed.
'He must have carried me here' Lucy smiled, a light blush on her face. Lucy ignored the tingly feeling her chest and left the room in search of Avaron
...
The red haired woman examined the amulet closely. It was cracked of course. The Summer Solstice is near and Teumessian is dying to fight.
'Such a rambunctious spirit.' Avaron giggled as Lucy tried to keep her head up. In order to keep Teumessina contained, Maura had to wrestle Lucy and force sleeping pills in her mouth.
"I'll get you for this!" Lucy shook her fist at her before passing out.
Avaron laughed and returned to making a new necklace.
...
Kimi winced when Saphire pulled on her hair. "You're hurting me you idiot!" Kimi's long hair was mercilessly combed through by Saphire.
"It's not my fault! Why is your hair so long anyway freak!" Saphire pointed an accusing finger at Kimi. The two continued to argue about hair. They make the weirdest of best friends.
"Hey what happened to those Fairy Tail members?" Kimi asked her black-haired friend.
"I heard they left to Magnolia and will be back soon. That Natsu guy is still here though. I want to fight him!" Saphire responded.
"You're so weird Saphire." Kimi said in a rather bored tone.
"What did you say!?"
"Did I stutter?"
"I'll kill you!"
"That's enough you two." The girls stopped and looked at the mysterious person standing in the corner of the room.
Then the explosion came and everything went black.
...
The sound made Lucy wake up. Avaron was sleeping on the floor beside her. The blond then realized she'd have to go find out what made that sound. Lucy jumped up and dusted of her skirt. Her new amulet remained on the table unnoticed. Teumessian had a chance to be free and she was going to take it.
...
"Are you okay Saphire?" Kimi dropped her ice shield.
"I'm fine. How come you didn't sense that person?"
Kimi grunted "She smells like bamboo after a rainstorm. I thought it was Parisa trying to scare us."
"Oh is that her name?" The cloaked figure was holding Parisa, a hunting knife resting on her throat.
Her hood fell revealing a woman with green hair braided and tied in a pony tail.
"Irra Vexo, daughter of Aprodite." Neiko Haguri entered the room with a sword in her hand. Neiko comes from the Laelaps group.
"Tell me where Lucy Heartfilia is or Parisa's head goes off." The purple-haired kid bit Irra's hand allowing her freedom for a second.
Parisa nodded at Kimi and the dragonslayer covered her ears. Then Parisa screamed. It was her one great ability. Her magic expands through the entire castle allowing her to alert everyone of danger. All the dragonslayers know to cover their ears when Parisa screams.
"You brat don't do that again or I'll-"
"You'll do what?" Lucy's magical pressure was getting dangerously high.
'When the hell did she get here?' Irra, oblivious to the possible consequences, glared at Lucy. "I'll kill this Parisa kid if you move."
"If you come quietly, I won't cause any trouble. All you have to do is come to Olympus with me." Irra was losing her patience.
"I'll go...but you'll have to drag my cold dead body." Lucy grinned when Saphire and Kimi rushed past her.
"Beast Call: A thousand tears!"
"Yin Yang Hex!"
The two attacks combined making it rain ice surrounded by black and white flames.
Irra cried out as the flames burned her skin. Now bleeding, Irra held out her hand. "Red Road to Hell!"
Bright red ropes flew out of the ground latching onto Saphina, kimi, and Lucy. Neiko sliced the ropes away from herself.
Neiko held up her hand. "Chain Cyclone!" It's exactly what it sounds like. The chains came down and forced Irra into a corner. They wrapped around her body so she couldn't move. Parisa was giggling now. All the attacks had gone through her. Other than her screaming, she can make magic avoid her body.
Irra struggled as the chains grew tighter and tighter. "Why are you here?" Lucy asked, angry that she didn't get to fight.
"Guess you wench." Irra smirked despite the vulnerable position she was in.
Lucy glared. "You didn't answer my question. Why are you here? The summer solstice is in four days."
"Even someone as pathetic as you should know! I came to warn you of what is coming. I held back today. My love wants your magic and I'll make sure he gets it! Even if I die in the process. See you in four days weakling." Irra's body vanished in a burst of light. The chains fell to the floor.
Chara was holding Lucy in a headlock. "Lemme' go meanie!" Chara sweatdropped. She was lucky though. If Neiko hadn't contained Irra, Teumessian would have killed her. Atleast the fox is nice and doesn't attack the defenseless.
The new amulet was now on the sleeping Lucy's head.
Neiko walked over to Chara. "We're lucky Irra didn't cause any major damage."
"We're lucky Lucy here was fighting Teumessian's power. If she hadn't we would all be dead by now."
Chara nodded. "Yes but we will have to worry more about how Irra got in and out so easily. Next time we must kill her before she kills us."
