*At the house*
The star tapped on the door gently. The door opened to reveal Porlyusica. "So you finally made it back? Come in" she said. The star walked in with Musa floating behind him. "Is she okay?" Porlyusica asked. Star laid Musa on the bed, "Yeah, she just has a couple of injuries on her body. She's also hasn't eaten or had anything to drink ever since we got her. Musa has also managed to get another spirit along the way" the star explained. "Which one?" Porlyusica asked. "Yveltal," the star said. "How did she manage to get his key?" Porlyusica asked. "He's been hurt and turned back into his key," the star explained. "Bring him to me, I'll figure something out," Porlyusica told him.
The star disappeared shortly after. Porlyusica tended to Musa in the meantime. About 10 minutes later, the star came back. "Where is he, Staryu?" Porlyusica asked. "He seemed just fine when I went to check on him. There were no internal bleeding or injuries. Also he said he didn't feel like coming here" Staryu explained. All she could do was sigh and go back to treating the girl. "You do realize that you can't stay here for long," Porlyusica pointed out. "Where are we supposed to go?" Staryu asked. "Someone that I know lives not too far from here where you can go," Porlyusica said. "When do we leave?" Staryu asked. "Whenever she wakes up and gets something in her. When was the last time she ate and drank anything" she asked him. "I think it was about 2 weeks ago. Though it wasn't much of a meal, she did eat some berries along the way but not alot" Staryu answered. Porlyusica didn't respond back to back him.
*The next morning*
Musa was able to wake up and was confused on where she was. She sat up, "Where am I?" she asked. "You're in my home, I'm Porlyusica," she announced. She had a tray with her and placed it on Musa's lap. Musa pondered on whether or not to eat what was in front of her. Her body was already adjusted to not eating anything. "It's okay, you're able to eat it," Staryu appeared next to her. "How do I know that I can trust it?" Musa asked. "Because I know that she wouldn't do something like that," Staryu said. "After you're done with that, your stuff is over here" Porlusica said. She gestured over the chair that was close by. All Musa could do was just nod in response to that. She sat and cautiously ate what was in front of her until she was done with it. "The bathroom is right over there to wash up" Porlusica pointed out. Musa carefully got up and went to the bathroom. She took notice of the bandages on her arms and legs.
*Time skip*
Musa came out wearing a light blue blouse with red pants that had white flowers printed all over. She wore red and white sneakers. A red beaded bracelet on the left and a green beaded bracelet on the other. "Are you ready to go Musa?" the harpy asked. This humanoid bird like creature had two forms. A normal form, she had small green feathers covering her body. She wore beige fabrics that covered her chest and waist. She had a brown belt, golden armlets and golden bracelets. She had larger green feathers that ran from her upper arms to her wrists. Her eyes were completely purple and had yellow face markings. There were wing-like feathers behind her ears. Her hair was a mix of dark green and yellow. She had on a beaded necklace on. Some of the beads were extended from the necklace by a thin metal piece. Her nails were long and sharp. Her legs were bird-like with claws. Harpus had golden bracelets on her ankles. She had sharp fangs. While the other form was a marble sized ball. "Yeah I think I am.." Musa still didn't know what to call her yet.
"You can call me Harpus" she said. "Before you go, take these. If you follow the directions on this map, you'll get to where to go" Porlyusica said. She gave the young girl the map and an anchor bag. "Thank you Porlyusica. Bye now" Musa said before leaving. "I guess this will be a new beginning for me," Musa said. "I guess you're right. Come on now, let's get going to where this lady is" Harpus told her. The trip for the trio only took about almost an hour to get there. "Do you think this is the place?" Harpus asked. "It looks like. It's the only place that's marked on the map," Musa said. She knocked on the door gently. There wasn't a response for some time, so Musa decided to knock again but much louder this time. It took a couple of seconds before an elderly lady opened the door. "Why hello there, how might you be?" she asked. "I'm Musa, I just came from Porlyusica. I don't know if you know her or not" Musa said. "Yeah, I know her but what are you doing here?" she asked. "She sent me over here because you might be able to do something for me," Musa told her.
The elderly lady opened the door wider for her. "Why don't you come in and we'll talk about this," she suggested. Musa went in and sat on the chair that was provided. "So tell me more about yourself? What can you do?" the lady asked. "I have these keys, I don't know what I'm supposed to do with them" she stated. "Are you a celestial mage?" the elder asked. "What's that?" Musa asked back. There was a brief silence between the both of them. The elder had gone to the kitchen before going back to the sitting area with Musa. "To put it in simple terms for you, celestial spirit magic is where the holder of the keys are able to summon certain spirits. There are different kinds of keys in the world, such as the 12 rare zodiac keys, the silver keys and blacks keys. The silver keys are much more common keys that you're able to buy from the shops that have them" the lady explained to her. "What about the keys that I have? What kind are they?" Musa asked. "Let me see them," the elder said.
Musa handed over the three keys that she had. The elder looked them over. "This key right here is in a collection of the 5 mythical keys. I assume that you have seen who is within this key right?" The elder questioned. Musa simply nodded. "Now for these two, I'm not completely sure on their origins. So I'm not too knowledgeable on what kind of keys they are" she said. "So would I have to find the rest of the four keys?" Musa asked. "That's only if you want too. You don't have to if you don't want" the elder asked. "If you don't mind me asking but what can I call you?" Musa asked.
These two ended up talking for the rest of the day and stuck together after that. Musa stayed with her to the point of living with her and considered her to be a grandmother.
Around the time Musa turned 11, she had this new found freedom where she was just messing around with her 'grandmother' watching over her. She was in the process of fully learning what her magic source was. Musa was picking a couple of flowers when she found something that sparkled in the grass. She picked it up and saw that it was a key. It was a yellow topaz key with a lighting bolt sign. She got back up and ran back to the house. "Grandma! I found a key!" Musa was excited about it. "Try to open its gate," Christina instructed. She placed her hands on Musa's shoulders. Musa started to focus her energy into the key, "Gate open!" she yelled. There was a soft yellow glow on the ground before it dimmed to reveal a small animal. It was a small rodent that had pale yellow fur. Its ear-tips, collar, and tail were black and angular. It also had pink cheek pouches and a tiny nose looks like a dot.
"Are you the one that summoned me?" It asked. "Yeah," Musa said. She started to scratch her arm a bit in anticipating. "What is it that you want?" it asked. "I was wondering if I could make a contract with you?" Musa spoke softly. "Is this your first time doing this?" the rodent asked. "I guess you can say that," she admitted. "Well remember this human, I'm only available on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Any other day, it's going to be a problem," the spirit left shortly after that. "Grandma, are all spirits like that?" Musa asked. "No sweetie, something must have happened to him when he made a contract with a different mage. He'll probably warm up to you in now time" Christina explained to her. The both of them headed back inside the small cabin.
Now that Musa had 4 keys in her possession, Musa finally knew that she had a thing for finding keys. She learned that the new keyish key that she had gotten was named Pichu. He was still rude to her whenever he was summoned though but it seemed to die down as time went on between the two. Anyway, since it was getting late out and Musa was still out collecting some herbs she was told to find, she ended up getting lost. "Where am I supposed to go now?" she thought. Her self awareness had gone up dramatically and was scared that she might run into those shadows again. Then she felt something crash into her leg. When she looked to see what it was, she saw that it was a small orange chick that had stubby yellow wings. There is an orange and yellow crest on its head that resembles a small flame. Its two thin legs and short beak were a light brownish yellow, and the feet have three toes in front and one in the back. From what musa could tell, the chick was scared but of what. Her answer shortly came when she picked up the chick.
"What do you think you're doing?" A voice asked harshly. "Who are you and what do you want from me?" Musa asked into the darkness. There was no response for a couple of seconds. Musa started to panic, so the next best thing was to run. She ended up dropping the basket of herbs on the way but didn't care. Behind her were the shadows from long before. They had been watching over, studying on their way of attacking. Musa turned back to see the shadows from before and approaching quickly. "Open! Gate of the Harpy! Harpus!" Musa yelled. Harpus appeared in a mint green light. "Just keep going, I'll stay here" Harpus said. Musa just kept running. Harpus held off the shadows as best as she was able to until Musa was far enough. It didn't take long but Musa was already home. She opened the door and slammed it behind her. "Musa, is everything alright?" Christina was coming into the room. "Yeah, everything is just fine" Musa said while dropping to the floor. The chick managed to finally calm down when it was out of danger. "Is the little one alright?" Christina asked. "Not sure," Musa said. The chick unfortunately had turned back into an orange topaz key with a small flame on it.
In the morning, Musa was just sitting by the window. It felt like she needed to stay inside, like it made every bad thing out. "Take this, you're going to need it if you're going to be looking for more keys in the future" Christina said. Musa was given a black key ring that had the 5 keys she already had. "Thanks grandma"
