Lucy Pov.
As I slowly stirred from my deep slumber, I felt a small weight on my leg. I jolted up before seeing Plume flying off from my leg and falling down to the ground. I quickly reacted and stretched out my arms and caught Plume causing me to fall off the bed and land on the carpet, face first.
"Sorry Plume," I say muffled as my face was still glued to the ground. I slowly got back up and placed Plume on the bed before getting prepared for the day. The ship was almost at the dock where an escort would be waiting for me. I quickly packed my stuff up and grabbed a quick bite on the ship's cafe before heading back into my room to wait out the rest of the trip.
The moment the boat stopped I sprinted out and did a quick spin before smiling brightly up towards the sky. I was wearing my usual blue outfit, the day I also decided I wanted to become a mage and join Fairy tail I was wearing the exact same outfit, well even though it was a dress but whatever! Somehow it gave me the confidence to continue this long journey.
I decided to sit on one of the large rocks near the docks and play with plume. I suddenly felt a light tap on my left shoulder. Glancing at my back I saw a girl with blue hair and was tied with a brown ribbon. Her outfit consists of a white cream colored blouse with sleeves that looked a bit poofy. She had a brown vest that hugged her whole stomach area underneath her breasts with straps hanging on her shoulders. Her outfit also had a couple of brown belts that would cross over one another, and striped pants that were also a bit poofy with thigh high boots. The boots had kept some of the pants giving that poof layer effect on it.
"Are you Lucy Heartifila?" I looked at the girl and slowly nodded.
She grinned at me and held out her hand.
"The names Lilly, a pleasure to meet you, Lucy." I stood up and shook her hand.
"Thanks the pleasure is all mine." I allowed Plume to return back to the celestial world to rest. I walked along with Lilly down a pathway to a secret dock area where Lilly had a boat to take us to the island where Makarov had sent me. Lilly explained how Makarov contacted her, and how she was a single sailor and loved to sail the ocean waves. As we approached the secret dock, Lilly and I quickly ran to her boat where she used her magic to prep it up for a long journey.
"Think we'll meet sea serpents on the way?" Lilly asked in an excited tone.
"Hopefully not.." I shivered in fear thinking of a large snake living in the ocean.
"Well, where's the fun in that! When you're in the ocean you have to think and act like an explorer!" Lilly quickly spun the wheel causing the ship to make a sharp turn. I jumped forward and tumbled down on the ground. I slowly sat up rubbing my forehead before glaring at Lilly who was giggling. I chuckled before standing up and walked to the front of the ship. I took a deep breath of the salty sea air and watched the waves push against the ship.
"So what kind of messed up shit do you have to be if you're heading into the Land of the Divines?" I turned to see Lilly looking at me with a serious face.
"Just going there to learn more about something," I replied back in a monotone voice. I can't let her know about Elara.
"Alright, but you should know that the Land of the Divines is surrounded by a serious magical barrier which no has been able to get pass by. They say the magic comes from ancient beasts that once roamed Earthland before us. If you're going to be learning about something you're luck may be thin." Lilly looked back out at the sea and focused on steering the ship. I looked at her before looking back out on the vast ocean.
*Magical barrier? Would Elara allow me to enter? Guess I'll find out when I get there.* I thought before a smirk was plastered on my face.
Back in the Guild Hall
No one's Pov.
"Master what do you mean she went alone?!" Erza raised her voice at Makarov. He sighed and looked at the scarlet-haired girl before taking a big gulp out of his beer.
"I said she has to do this by herself. Do not QUESTION my choices child." Makarov looked at Erza making her back down. Natsu, on the other hand, wasn't in the mood for Makarovs rules or what not.
"Where did she go." Natsu had part of his hair covering his eyes. Gray obviously saw his anger radiating off of his body.
"I cannot let anyone interfere with her journey, I'm sorry but I cannot tell you where she went." Makarov's glare made Natsu bite his tongue.
"BUT MASTER, SHE'S APART OF OUR TEAM WE CAN'T LET HER GO BY HERSELF!" Natsu yelled out. Rage filling his eyes.
"Natsu, I already told you...you must let her complete her journey. She will be safe." the guild hall went dead silent. Erza approached Natsu and patted his shoulder.
"Just...trust in the master this time. You know that Lucy is strong enough to take care of herself." Erza glanced at Gray who nodded back. Natsu let out a sigh before slumping back down in his chair. The guild went still for a while before people started to move around again. Natsu, Happy, and Gray decided to head out to have a brawl to take their mind off of Lucy's sudden absence.
Natsu was devastated by the sudden disappearance of Lucy. He can picture her smiling at him and scolding him every time she snuck into her apartment with Happy. Natsu growled as he punched a tree that toppled over by the sudden force. Natsu didn't care...he wasn't in the mood to even care.
Gray stood afar from Natsu and watched as he kept punching trees left and right. He too was also feeling very troubled that Lucy had suddenly disappeared but what could he do. He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists tighter as Natsu continued his tree rampage.
"Where are you, Lucy." Both of them thought.
