WENDY POV
As I exit the portal I feel two warm arms wrap around me and pull me close. Soon I open my eyes to see my self being cuddled by… "LUCY-NEE!" I scream happily I throw myself farther into her arms; I can feel tears coming and try to hold them in as she looks down at me, love sparkling in her amazing eyes.
"Wendy, my little Wendy. It's okay now, it's all okay. You can cry if you want, I wouldn't think less of you, after all I am already crying." Lifting my head from her shoulder I see silent tears flooding my beloved Lucy's face. I practically break down at that point a torrent of tears flood from my eyes and Lucy hugs me closer. We sit down, me in her lap and cry for the pain of separation, the sadness of a missing loved one, and the joys of being reunited until there are no more tears left. "Come on Imotou, lets go get cleaned up. There are some people for you to meet, and some for you to be reunited with, I will answer any questions you have once we are done with dinner okay?" I nod as we stand and I finally look around.
I gasp at the beauty of the land we are one, its so beautiful, a meadow filled with wikd flowers of every kind and color imaginable. When I speak again I can hear the wonder and awe in my voice, "Lucy-Nee, where are we! This place is beautiful…"
"I am glad you like it, this is the gateway between worlds, we call it The Eternal Garden. The flowers always bloom, there is one from every season, species, and realm, every flower in the universe has at least one growing here and they never die. The flowers started appearing as buds when Mom was born, but when I was born over 75% of them manifested and all of them bloomed."
"Could you please tell me why Nee-Chan?" My eyes are wide, I am trailing my fingers over the petals of Bluebells, Baby's Breath, and Mums. My favorites, I see a Sakura Blossom nearby and run to it, they are Mom's favorite since they dance on the wind like we do.
"I will later Wendy, but for now know it involves a prophecy… one about me and a few very special people. Now lets go!" Her smile is huge and bright, eyes sparkling in excitement, and shoulder length Blonde hair flying as she grabs my hand and starts running.
As we go small beings, seemingly made of lights and glittering gossamer dance around us with flowers. The weave crowns so intricate and beautiful it should be impossible, especially at the speed they do it. As we exit the meadow the crowns are placed upon our heads, the creatures bow and we continue on until we reach the castle. When we arrive Lucy-Nee takes me to her room, we bathe and head to her closets. She walks away to take a lacrima call and whispers so low even I cant make out more than "yes" "she's good" and "soon", but I am trying to not hear. I don't want to intrude on her privacy. I touch the crown that once again adorns my head, Lucy said not to take it off…
"Lucy-Nee, why do I have this crown, and why must I keep it on? Also why did the light creatures bow to me, I understand you but why me?" She had just re-entered the room.
Lets get dressed and eat, I will answer after remember?" Her voice is light and kind but I can tell theres no changing her mind on this.
We enter the closet and she pulls me to a section that is entirely full of clothes perfect for me! I turn around with questions in my eyes, but merely grin and throw myself into her arms again squealing with joy. After all SO MANY CLOTHES! She laughs and sets me down and we dive in. I end up in a dress that falls to just below my knees and has two ¾ sleeves that open up widely at the bottom. They look like kimono style sleeves. The whole dress is a blue so light it is almost white, with a sky blue sash and ribbons flowing around my neck and down my back like a scarf. The material feels like air, it floats around me as I move making me seem graceful and it is so comfortable! My hair has been put in pigtails like normal, but Lucy-Nee curled them into long spirals tied by matching ribbon and two small sapphires. I have a matching necklace on and the flower crown. My shoes match hers, Grecian style sandals but mine are sky blue. Nee-Chan has an elegant pale gold dress, it has a simple empire waist with what seems to be magical detailing on the trim and at the waistline. It seems to be almost alive, shifting and changing in scenes of… well I can't really tell with her moving but I think I saw her in it! The skirt is simple too, the same material as mine it is floor length and gently flares out from the waistline. Her hair is in an up do, with some left cascading down her back, she let her cloaking down when she was sure I wouldn't be freaked out by her Godly visage. She looks amazing, with that long hair, glowing skin, and brown eyes flecked with her magic in gold and cosmos. She wears a golden crown with a beautiful symbol in it, a sun containing a star and cradled by a moon. It looks so delicate and light on her head!
When we are ready Lucy speaks, "Alright Wendy lets eat, and I will explain everything while we do."
"YAY! Okay Lucy. Thank you for the dress it is beautiful!" I bow politely and blush a bit as she smiles at me. When I stand with a bright smile she snaps a picture quick and grabs my hand. We enter the dining hall and those present, mostly her spirits, bow or walk towards us. A few people introduce themselves as Lucy-Nee's Mom, Dad, and Birth- Father, I bow to them. "Hello, it is nice to meet you Layla-Sama, Jude-Sama, and Kami-Sama."
Layla-Sama steps forward "Wendy please stand up, you are a sister to Lucy, that makes you my child as well. We all feel that way! Welcome to the family dear." She gives me a gentle smile and hugs me close while the rest of the room nods and smiles. "Call us Aunt or Uncle. That is what we are."
I smile as we pull apart and we sit to eat, at the end of the meal Lucy stands. "Wendy it is time to answer your questions. Come with me we will go to a sitting room."
I follow her and once we are settled she motions for me to ask my questions. "Lucy-Nee, why do I have this crown, and why must I keep it on? Also why did the light creatures and others all bow to me? Where are we exactly, and who are you. I mean I know you are a Goddess but you seem to be more than just that, and Goddess of what?" I let all my questions out at once in excitement and curiosity. Until the last question to ask enter my head and a frown tugs at the corners of my mouth but I ask anyway, "Oh and… and when do I have to leave? Levy had to leave…"
Lucy just giggles as I do all of this and thinks for a moment. "Well I won't answer those quite in order, but all will be answered!"
I nod and she continues, "Okay we are in the Gods' realm, my first home. I am the princess of the Gods, and I have a different name but I rarely use it. The symbol on my crown is my mark, it shows my rank and who I am. I am the Goddess of magical creatures and those who use their magic. Are you okay so far?"
"Yes, I really want to know the rest though if that's okay? If you can't or don't want to tell me its fine Nee-Chan… WAIT! LUCY-NEE YOU'RE MY GODDESS!?"
"Hehehe yep! You my dear Wendy have your own Goddess as a Big Sis. Now then the rest of the questions, here we go, hard part. You Wendy, are a princess in your own right. Your Mother is the Sky Queen, that is why you have people bowing to you and that crown. When you accept this as truth and decide to take up the position the flowers will change to reveal a crown that suits you and your station. It will bestow your insignia to you. Sky Maiden Wendy, Dragons' Princess of the Air and Winds, that is your proper Title. Welcome to your home, you need never leave unless you want to. This is where dragons came from, and Aunt Grandeeny is waiting for us, shall I call for her?"
I am in shock, I heard what she said but… me, I-I'm a princess? My Mom is here, I have my Godess as a sister… MY MOTHERS HERE AND IM A PRINCESS, AND I AM HOME! "Lucy-Nee! Is it all true? I am a princess, Moms here and you call her Aunt?" My voice is timid, I want to be sure.
"Yes Wendy, I am so sorry I wasn't able to tell you sooner!" She seems panicked so I jump up and hug her.
"It's okay Nee-Chan! I accept, I accept my titles and heritage with joy. I hope you can help me learn to be a princess." As Lucy grins and nods I feel something on my head, tingling and shifting, my own magic is doing this mixed with the feel of the Meadow's power. When it is done Lucy smiles and pulls me to a mirror.
I look at Lucy quick then into the mirror, seeing myself in the fancy clothes; that now that I think of it are befitting a princess and upon my head is a circlet no longer made of flowers. It seems to be silvery-clear as if made of wind, the base is simple and clear but in the center it has a beautiful and wild latticed design with a delicate H inscribed over a medical cross. My insignia, it does describe me so well, a being of wind and healing with a taste for simple things like laughter or joy.
"I approve, this suits you." I spin around at the sound of the familiar voice, tears in my eyes and smile on my face. I hope it is who I think it is!
"Mom!" I run to her as fast as I can and spring into her arms, Lucy leaves as Grandeeny pulls me closer to her. She coos to me and rocks us, warm winds caressing as I cry into her telling her of how I missed her and what I've been doing, my Fairy Tail family and my sisters Lucy and Levy. When I calm down she calls for hot chocolate and we sit like we used to and talk until we fall asleep in each other's arms. I have only one thought as I fall asleep, Mom, Lucy-Nee, I'm home.
FAIRY TAIL GUILD HALL
GENERAL VIEW
Levy walks to Carla and pulls her to the side. "Carla Wendy figured out who Lu-Chan is and went to see her. Due to her true identity Wendy can stay there, and probably will."
"Thank you for telling me. I have always known who Wendy is, I am glad she will now have the chance to take the lessons I tried to teach her and use them. I expect I will be going soon as well, I already have a guess as to whom Lucy is, or rather what she is." Carla responds as formally as ever and Levy nods in acceptance.
"Bye Carla, I have some work to do for Lu-Chan!" Levy waves as she runs off, gathering the Thunder God Tribe, Laxus, and Team Natsu as she goes. She drags them to the library before speaking. "Alright do you all have my items?"
The group nods and pulls things out for her as Gajeel arrives. "I got your tickets Shrimp. GiHi we can go when you are done with these idiots." His insults done he melts into a shadowed corner to watch over his girl.
"Where are you going Levy?" Erza asks first while the others nod.
"Clover Town, it's the first location I need to work at. I can't tell you more until you have this mark on you. It shows you know and accept Lu-Chan as who and what she is." Levy holds out a paper with Lucy's insignia on it, then her own hand which has the mark. Signaling Gajeel to get her stuff she exits quickly before the group can spaz out.
ON TRAIN, PRIVATE COMPARTMENT
"GiHi, so why'd ya let me come Shrimp?"
"Gajeel, I know you know. You have for a while, right?"
He nods and pulls her blushing into his lap. "Yeah, I could sense it when she projected to the guild and had my suspicions before that. Bunny Girl could never lie to me GiHi. She actually got rid of my motion sickness for me, said it was caused in all slayers due to the removal of their stem magic or some smart shit like that. Tch. Stupid Bunny usin' huge words." He munches on his iron as Levy giggles and relaxes into him and rests her head on his shoulder, falling asleep with a smile.
Levy mumbles his name with a happy sigh and snuggles closer in her sleep while he smiles down at her, a satisfied and loving look in his eyes. "I'll tell you when you wake up, I know you feel the same, so when you wake up you'll be mine officially." He whispers in his gravelly voice and settles in to keep watch over his Shrimp, no one would ever hurt her while he's around.
