Five months have passed and finally, I've become a fully fledged dragon slayer of the Heavenly Beings. Since my generation was unheard of before, I've decided to call it generation X, the generation of the powerful dragons. My training was finally completed but it did cost an arm and a leg, figuratively speaking. Now, it was time for me to return to Fairy Tail where my family was waiting. I currently stood by my window watching the ocean waves being blown by the breeze.
"Are you ready Lucy?" my mother asked. I turned around and saw my mother still looking elegant as always.
"Yea, I'm just thinking what everyone will say when they see me…after all, it has been seven months since I've last seen everyone." I whispered slightly. My eyes glanced towards the mirror that stood behind my mother where I examined my figure. I've matured a bit, with my hair now reaching towards my hips and a suitable figure meant for battling. My face glowed in radiance due to my mothers magic and her amazing skin care products. I chuckled at my reflection before looking at my mother. She arched one of her eyebrows.
"Anyways, I'm ready when you are." I quickly spoke before heading towards the bathroom to change my current attire.
"I'll be waiting for you in the garden. Try not to take long, Lucy." I rolled my eyes as she left my room. I was wearing a flowing white dress but I was gonna change it since we were about to travel. I selected the outfit that consisted of a fitting black suit. I slipped on a white dress shirt before placed the black jacket that hugged my body, comfortably. I carefully slipped on the matching pair of black pants that stopped around my ankles. I slipped on a metallic pair of boots that had a bit of a heel. I placed on two black fingerless gloves to complete my outfit. Finally, I placed on a white cloak to hide my outfit. I fixed my slightly curled hair before walking out of the bathroom. I quickly packed the last of my things before sending them off to my storage realm. I quickly ran out of my room and made my way towards the garden where my mother, in her dragon form, was waiting for me.
"You sure took your time," she spoke with a little attitude hidden in her voice. I chuckled and quickly hopped on her back.
"Time to go. I can't wait." I exclaimed while looking at the vast sky.
"Hang on tight." She spread her wings out before flying towards the sky. I held onto her as she quickly ascended into the air. Mother started to fly away from the island that once served as my home, but now I'm returning to my true home. I turned my head and stared at the island and watched its size slowly shrink the farther mother flew.
"What's Earthland like, if I may ask Lucy?" my mom suddenly asked. I peered down at her before smiling.
"Earthland is a wondrous place, sure, there are those who try to ruin the peace Earthland has but there will always be those who'll stand up against those forces of evil." I contemptuously replied. My mom let out a small snort before quickening her pace.
"What? Was it something I said?" I looked at my mother, puzzled.
"No, I am simply amused at your remark. Perhaps I still have my mishaps with Earthland but if you do say it is as you said, then I will give Earthland a chance." my mom calmly stated. I smiled and laid my back down gazing at the stars as mom continued to peacefully fly amongst the gentle breeze.
"How long till we reach Fiore?" I asked.
"Fiore?" mom replied, confused.
"Right, you're unfamiliar with the landmarks of Earthland…" I whispered. I sat up and closed my eyes.
"Keep heading straight mom, we'll arrive at Cedar pretty soon," I stated before opening my eyes.
"Aye aye, miss." I laughed at her sudden change of tone. It was a quick five minutes before I spotted the docks of Cedar. I felt the excitement bubble within my stomach as my mother shifted her direction towards a patch of forest to avoid detection. Once on the ground, my mother transformed into her human version, wearing the same clothing. I stared at my mother.
"What?" she asked.
"You need to change your outfit. You'll definitely attract unwanted attention." I bluntly stated only to receive a light smack on the back of my head.
"Itai! Hey, I'm telling the truth!" I pouted at my mom.
"Fine, but please make it look nice." she sighed out. I snapped my fingers and changed her outfit into one that I found suitable, maybe. Her outfit was somewhat of a military-style outfit. It consisted of a snowy white top that barely reached her thighs. Her legs were covered in a tight, yet fitting, tights that had (partially) thigh high boots. She had a collar that covered her entire neck and was attached to her top. She had black sleeves that were decorated with a metallic gold brace around her slender wrists. The outfit did contain some metal parts on the side of her top to accompany the black and white colors. She finally had a white coat that hung from her shoulders. The coat extended down to her knees and it had a dark fur collar sown into the jacket. I was generally impressed by how my mom rocked the outfit.
"What do you think?" I asked. My mom scanned her outfit before flashing me a thumbs up. I grinned and started walking towards the given path for travelers.
"Now that we've arrived...where do we go?" she asked, curiously.
"Hmm, perhaps we should stay at an inn. Let's head over to Cedar and rest for the night. I've got lots of jewels stored here somewhere." I opened a portal and entered my storage void. When I came back, I had an envelope filled with jewels, 5,000 jewels to be exact.
"Alright, you're the expert here in Earthland, so lead the way." my mom pointed at the road allowing me to walk ahead. I gave a silly bow before rushing down the path with an angry mother chasing me.
"Can you slow down! You know the outfit you gave me came with heels!" my mom argued. I stopped in front of a hotel before feeling someone bump into my back. I turned my head to see my mother panting heavily. I chuckled and wrapped one of my arms around her waist.
"Come on mom, we're here." I gestured towards the hotel doors. She gave me a slight glare before sighing.
"Fine, you win this time," she muttered making me laugh out loud.
"Quiet you! It's late already, I don't want so much noise entering my head." she rubbed her temple in annoyance. I stifled my laughter before I could make her madder. I covered my head with the hood of my cloak and entered the establishment. Luckily, we rented out a room and settled in for the night.
During the morning, we had a delicious breakfast before we headed off to the kingdom of Magnolia. The journey wasn't quite as rough since my mother and I was able to finish off foes at a quicker rate. I seriously loved being a dragon slayer. Defeating enemies was way easier than summoning from keys, no offense my celestial spirits, I still love you like family. We passed through an overview of Magnolia where I saw the bustling city still active as usual. I could feel the tear slowly form from my eyes.
"Let's go Lucy." my mom spoke in a gentle manner. I looked at her and nodded. Both of us traveled through the forest and entered through the gates of Magnolia. I'm home, finally.
Time skip brought to you by Happy -
While walking through the town, I spotted people happily going along their way doing what needed to be done. I continued walking and paused when I spotted a cafe. I looked through the window and stifle a gasp when I noticed two former tartaros members, alive and drinking tea!
"What the hell! How are they alive! And why are they drinking tea!" I angrily whispered. My mother grabbed my shoulders and pulled me close to her body.
"Hmm, you say that they were dead?" she asked, attentively.
"Yes, I remember that Natsu and Gray finished Mard, or well Zeref defeated him in the end," I replied, unostentatious.
"Something must have happened...who else would have brought these guys back to life," I whispered. I quickly directed my direction back on the path and continued walking towards the guild hall. I recognized some enemies happily living their lives in the town. What the hell is happening?
When we arrived at the guild hall, I stared at the guilds crest and felt my heart beating against my chest. I'm finally back. I looked at my mother and nodded. She nodded back and looked at the doors of the guild. I slowly headed towards the doors and carefully pushed one of them open to scan the area. To my surprise, no one was inside the guild hall. I opened the door, my cloak still concealing my figure. My mom followed me into the guild and carefully closed the doors. I looked around and saw that no one was inside the hall at all.
*Where did everyone go?* I thought while continuously scanning the room. I closed my eyes and used my dragon sense to detect any anomalies but found none.
"Was your guild always this quiet?" my mother asked. I shook my head in response.
"Where is everyone?" I whispered. The doors suddenly opened causing me to turn my head towards the sound. I noticed a man had opened the door, he looked fairly young. I turned around and looked at the man.
"Can I help you with something?" I asked, sternly.
"Oh are you apart of the Fairy Tail guild?" he asked.
"Yes, do you need anything?" I asked in a calmer state of mind.
"Well, the guild members are busy fighting amongst the other wizards in Oak-town. We haven't heard from them since yesterday," he stated. My eyes widened at the sudden news.
"Have you all returned?" he asked, warily.
"No, I've just returned from a journey. I'm about to head off as a matter of fact." I quickly responded before running out of the guild hall with my mom behind me.
"Where are we headed now?" my mom asked.
"To Oak Town!"
