Lucy Pov.

I slowly closed the book and sighed, amazed after what I had read. I looked at the books cover and admired the jewels that were embedded. I also admired the white dragon with golden features on its body. Elara was certainly a beautiful dragon but I wondered if she was that powerful. I looked down at my keys and brought it up to my face. I took ahold of Aquarius key and gazed at it thinking of the power Elara had. As I let my mind wander, I was unaware of Mira calling my name.

"...ucy...lucy...LUCY!" I snapped out of my thoughts and looked at Mira who chuckled at my reaction.

"Sorry I was...thinking about stuff." I giggled and took a sip of my milk I ordered.

"That's alright, oh, the master was calling for you by the way." I looked at Mira then nodded. I finished my milk and headed toward the master's room. As I approached the wooden door, I gently knocked.

"Come in." I slowly opened it to find Makarov sitting on his leather chair. Judging by the look on his face I knew something serious is going down. I politely bowed and headed to one of the two chairs placed in front of his desk. I sat down and looked at Makarov who was still eerily silent.

"I wanted to let Erza or Laxus in on this, but it seems that it falls on you..." Makarov slowly spoke. I tilted my head in confusion as I continued to listen to the master.

"Apparently on your last mission, located in Bellum, I believe, you encountered your enemies in a forest am I correct?" I straightened up and nodded.

2 days ago...

No one's Pov.

"UHHH WHERE ARE THEY! I'M ITCHING TO FIGHT ALREADY!" Natsu screamed while punching a tree causing it to collapse and fall on the ground. Lucy flinched at the after-effects of the impact of the tree. An irk mark appeared on her head as she turned around and marched towards the salmon-haired boy.

"WHAT PART OF STEALTH DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND IDIOT!" Lucy kicked Natsu into a tree before turning around and continuing down their path.

"Ohhhh you got in trouble." Happy giggled as he flew beside Lucy. Natsu groaned and got back on his feet and continued to follow Lucy without causing any more ruckus. Lucy, Natsu, and Happy were tasked on finding the bandits campgrounds while Erza and Gray stationed themselves at the entrance of the forest to block people from entering and leaving.

Lucy slowly approached a nearby waterfall and decided to take a quick break to rest her feet from walking. Natsu and Happy decided to goof off in the water whilst Lucy sat at the edge of the lake. Nothing extreme happened with the exception of Natsu and Happy splashing large amounts of water towards each other.

-sigh- *idiots* Lucy thought to herself as she listened to the waterfall's flowing water. She sighed and smiled before standing up to stretch her upper portion of her body. She looked at the waterfall and noticed something sparkled behind the falls itself. Lucy took a couple of steps backward to notice a cave hidden behind the falls. She glanced at Natsu and Happy to see that they still were playing around.

"I swear these idiots will be the death of me." She muttered to herself. She sneaked off and wandered into the cave entrance. Lucy got out her Leo key just in case something were to attack out of nowhere. As Lucy got deeper and deeper into the cave the more she realized that there was something off about the cave. The feelings swelling deep within her were just bursting to get out but she couldn't quite tell what these feelings were.

Lucy soon discovered a hidden pool that was glowing a light iridescent blue. Lucy slowly approached the pool and looked at her reflection. She made a couple of faces before noticing another reflection which was in the shape of a dragon. She looked up to see a large circular image of a dragon whose neck and the head was bowed in an elegant way. The dragon had its wings tucked in and its posture was also a bit elegant. Surrounding the lone dragon, were different stars and other things that seemed to relate to space and the celestial beings. Then Lucy spotted a figure that looked like a human, to her surprise, it kinda resembled a girl but with the cave's unknown age, it was hard to tell what it looked like.

Lucy's Pov.

I had a strange feeling like I need to step into the water but I was being hesitant since I don't know what could be in the water. Quickly taking off my clothes (she's wearing a bathing suit don't worry) I stepped into the ice cool water and made my way to the center and stared back up at the image. Then the image slowly illuminated letters which were covered in soft golden lights. It looked like an ancient text, but for some reason, I was able to understand it.

"By the guidance of the willow dragon, shall you be free, look to the sky and seek Elara. When you've sought the spark, awaken will she be." I squinted in confusion.

*sought the spark? Seek Elara? Could it be that dragon?* I thought before the image above started to shine brightly. I gasped and quickly covered my eyes with one of my arms until the intense light vanished. When I slowly removed my arm, I was shocked to see that the image changed. The dragon was gone but the other things still remained intact and untouched. What happened to the dragon?

I quickly got out of the pool and changed back into my clothes and sprinted out of the cave to find Natsu and Happy still playing in the water.

"ALRIGHT YOU TWO LET'S GO BEFORE ERZA GETS MAD!" I yelled out.

"YES MA'AM!" the two ran out of the water and quickly changed before heading back into the forest.

Current time...

"Yes after we caught the bandits we sent them to the nearby town for them to be arrested. Other than that, nothing much happened." I spoke in a questioning tone.

"Are you sure nothing happened?" Makarov asked arching one his eyebrow.

"..." I remained silent.

"Two days ago, I recalled seeing a bright light being shot straight up towards the sky. So tell me again my child, what did you really see?"

Note - There is chapter two for you guys, hope the story is going well. I will soon add links to music so that you can enjoy reading with some background music. Don't worry the romance will be built up later in the future chapters.
