Five years before Lucifer goes missing
Lucy and Lucifer had been in the middle of a sparring session when all the sudden, "DUCK LITTLE DEMON!"
"There's a du-ahhh!" Before Lucy could register what was happening a sharp pain erupted in her left eye a warm liquid seeping down her cheek.
Jumping to action the fire demon hurries to his protegy clutching their eye which now seems to be bleeding heavily. Moving her hands, he sees a small but deep gash beneath her eye. I mean... it doesn't look that serious.
"Well everything looks A-Okay no need to worry." Lucifer assured the girl.
Lucy nodded. "Ya sure Luce cause it's a lil hard to see."
"Little, not a lot?"
"Yeah."
"Then your fine. I'm sure it'll go away soon."
A few weeks later
"So, did your eyesight come back?" Luce coughed.
"Uhm, well I can see dark shadows, does that count?"
Lucifer nodded. "Sure does, bud! But for the record this coulda been avoided had you ducked."
"That's true. Now I'm half blind!" Lucy laughed, Lucifer cackling alongside her.
On the sidelines stood Capricorn and Cancer holding back Aquarius, currently trying her best to extinguish the fire demon.
"He made my damn brat blind in one eye, I'm gonna kill em!"
"Aquarius-Sama no!"
"Ebi!"
"Hey Luce, does the scar under my eye look cool?" Lucy asked, leaning back on her father figure.
"Are you kidding me, you look super bad ass. Humans love scars", Lucifer says, winking.
Lucy sat up, her one eye shining, as her other was currently out of commission until her and Lucifer found a healer. At first, she was hesitant to believe her father figure but given that he hadn't led her astray yet, she decided to give the demon the benefit of the doubt.
"No way! You think with I'll be a hit with the boys and girls with this scar?" Lucy asked intrigued by this newfound information.
"Swing both ways eh, nice. Yeah, I don't see why not. Besides, you're my daughter they'd be dumb not too" he scoffed. "Plus, when they ask how you got it you can brag and say you got it from the strongest demon of Earthland."
To be honest he wasn't entirely sure, seeing as he was a fire demon he didn't scar, and he didn't really have any contact with humans but from what he heard during his travels he was partially right about woman liking scars.
"You're right I can! And with how much you scar me humans won't be able to keep their hands off me!" Lucy cheered, unaware of the killing intent behind her.
"Smack!"
"First off, you're a human too brat! Second, you are not going to be a little harlot!" Aquarius yelled. "So, don't even think about going around getting scars just because the damn demon says people like them got it!"
"Yes Aqua!" Lucy saluted.
"Swear to god I'm raising two toddlers", she mumbled going off to the lake to rest.
One year later. Age 14 after Lucifer has left.
"You said if we take a right here, we'd be in in Alvarez already!"
"No brat, I said we should've been in Alvarez already, but you've managed to get us lost in this damned forest!"
"Liar" she grumbled.
It had been a few weeks since Lucifer abandoned Lucy in the middle of a random forest in Fiore. After taking some time to recover her father leaving her Lucy found a new objective in Alvarez where she planned to destroy all the dark guilds there. If only she could get her sense of directions straight.
The next few hours Lucy's trip to Alvarez went in silence as she tried her best to get them out of the forest they were wandering aimlessly. Since Lucy was never good with directions, she had always relied on Luce to lead her. The demon had traveled all over Earthland before he met Lucy, so it was only logical he be the one lead them to wherever new place they were headed to.
The next morning
"Hey, Loke, you've been on Earthland for a while you got any idea how to get to Alvarez?" Lucy inquired.
"Sorry princess, but I've never actually been that far out but I'm sure once we get to a train station, we can get directions there." He said apologetically to his savior.
Loke was extremely lucky that during one of Lucy's annihilation's of a dark guild in Balsam Village, before Luce disappeared, she had run into him before he was overrun by a group of dark mages. When she found him, she quickly figured out he was a celestial spirit, banned from the spirit world for killing his last master.
"Not technically Loke! It was your master's fault but stachface, "the spirit king Lucy!", said it was yours, so he banished you to the human world until you just sorta began to shimmer away.
"Yes," Loke chuckled, "Cue one loud conversation with the ruler of the spirit world about how ridiculous their rules are and an apology later and I now, happily, serve as her loyal spirit."
"Who was Lucy-Sama and Loke-Sama telling that story to?" Capricorn asked.
"Who knows?" Aquarius answered enjoying the popcorn Cancer had made.
Lucy was passing through a dense part of the forest in search a good spot for her to stay at but so far having no luck. She realized despite having enhanced senses, her partial blindness was hindering her from being able to see the entire forest to the best of her ability. Unaware of the spirit behind her making sure she didn't get in anymore trouble then she was probably going to get herself in.
It was nearing evening when Lucy discovered what looked like a tribal guild. Looking to see if anyone was around, she quickly noticed a tiny blue haired child. The discovery of another child was exciting since Lucy had such rare interactions with them. Lucy may have left her parents when she was nine, but she was very sheltered never having met any other children to play with...well there was Michelle but Lucy's not sure if she technically counts.
"HEY, YOU TINY BLUE KID!"
"AHH!"
When Wendy woke up, she felt like something amazing was going to happen. She wasn't sure what that would be, but she knew it would be a nice-
"Child pay attention to where you're going you almost tripped!"
Wendy looked to where her best friend Charle was talking about and indeed saw a giant root was sticking out. "Thanks, Charle that would've hurt if I fell."
"Tch...yes that's why I warned you."
The two continued walking towards their guild Cait Shelter after going for a walk around the woods. Nothing out of the ordinary really. Well until now.
"HEY, YOU TINY BLUE KID!"
"AHHH!" Wendy screamed at the loud voice screaming at her. Turning to see the voice she saw a tall blonde girl with a goofy grin running to her at such a high speed she wasn't sure she would be able to stop in time.
"HEY, HEY, MY NAMES LU-AHH" Incidentally Lucy was running so fast towards Wendy she failed to notice the root that Wendy had just dodged causing her to trip and tumble all the way towards her. However, it seemed that despite the harsh fall she was unaffected, immediately jumping up and greeting the younger girl.
"My names Lucy, but Luce called me little demon! What's your name? Do you live around here? I'm headed for Alvarez that's in the west in Alakitasia, but I'm kinda tired and looking for a place to stay at for now. Hey, is that a flying cat? I've never seen that before! You're hair's cool."
"LUCY!" Aquarius shouted.
"Oh yeah anyways, can you help me find a cave or something to stay at?!" Lucy finished, grinning at the girl goofily.
Wendy and Charle looked to each other both overwhelmed by the girls' hyper attitude and at the sheer amount of questions asked. Nevertheless, they were able to get the gist of what she was asking, and while Charle wanted to consider the unknown girl a threat, just hearing her speak and seeing the goofy look on her face, made Wendy seem more like a threat than her.
"Um, I'm Wendy and this is Charle. As for a place to stay well, I'm not sure about a cave being anywhere for you to stay at but, uh, if you don't mind my guild is nearby so you could stay awhile till you do... if you want of course", Wendy muttered shyly.
Lucy tapped her chin in thought shouting, "Alright let's go, I need a nap Windy!" then hugging her. The little girl smiled widely at the sweet gesture; it has been awhile since such a thing has occurred. Then blanching at what the older girl had just called her.
"Windy?"
Both mages were headed towards the smaller child's guild, chatting excitedly about what they should do when they get to the guild. Well one of them was, the other one was happily listening to the older one talk about any and everything.
"Yeah so when we get their let's take a nap then eat, you're a mage right, Windy, let's spar! I'm super strong but I'll take it easy on you! I'm headed to Alvarez because I was told if I want to be the strongest slayer than I must go there and defeat all the dark guilds by my dad. He left me a few months ago and I've been tryna get there but I'm not the best at directions-
Wendy smiled at the blonde speak, it's been awhile since she had any interaction with someone close to her age. Granted she knew Lucy was still older than her by a few years it was till nice knowing another kid
"It's Wendy, Lucy-san and wait why did your dad leave you?"
Lucy stared at the little girl who interrupted her and shrugged. "Beats me he's a jerk like that. I mean one second we're napping in the woods like usual the next second I'm waking up to him gone. Stupid demon. We were together for five years then he just up and disappeared…but I know he's out there somewhere, he would never just up and leave me without a reason."
Wendy gawked at the older girl, a demon…her father was a demon. Then it hit her Lucy-san was also a slayer!
"Lucy-san you're a slayer also!" the girl squealed excitedly.
Lucy looked to the smaller girl with a giant smile, "Yeah I am, I'm a celestial fire demon slayer. How about you?"
"I'm a sky dragon slayer. My dragon was Grandeeney and she also left me a few years ago." Wendy said, that last part whispered.
Lucy stared at the smaller bluenette, before a grin erupted on her face. "You were raised by a dragon…that's so cool" she whispered. "But don't worry I'll just search for your dragon while searching for Lucifer!"
"You will?" the younger girl asked shyly.
"Heck yeah and that's a promise and celestial mages never break their promises, Windy!"
"Thank you, Lucy-san, but it's Wendy."
"What's the difference?" Lucy asked.
Wendy looked to the ground in defeat and continued to lead the blonde to her guild. "It's nothing. Windy's fine."
"My goodness child, if you let people call you whatever you want, you'll never grow a backbone…then again I doubt you'll ever get through to her." Charle sighed, Wendy nodding in agreement.
It was a few moments later a hand landed on her shoulder scaring her. "Ahhh!"
"My apologies. I'm Loke one of Lucy's spirits. I just wanted to apologize for my masters…slowness. She's really nice underneath her obliviousness and I think you'll come to find you both have a lot in common."
Wendy looked to the blonde who was smiling happily. "Okay? Wait spirits…What exactly is Lucy's magic? I thought it was just demon slayer magic."
"Well it is, but she is also a celestial mage." Loke stated proudly. "She's quite powerful for her age."
Wendy turned to the older girl who was trying to get her foot unstuck from a hole she had fallen in and turned to the spirit.
"I said she was powerful, I said nothing about being smart."
"Hey so what can you do since you're a sky dragon? Oh man can you eat air?! What's it tastes like lil' dragon tell me tell me! Oh, is that why your names Windy, because your magic is air. That actually makes a lot of sense."
Wendy couldn't believe how...slow this girl was but at the same time found it nice to still be interacting with another teen. Well she's a teen, Wendy was barely nine but she's pretty sure out of the two she was the more sensible of the two.
"Uhm, well air is just kind of airy, I guess. And I can do a dragon roar and heal people."
"You can heal people like even really old injuries that might be per-ma-net?" she sounded out.
Wendy stared at Lucy confused trying to figure out why she had to sound out such a simple word before answering her question and even then, she's pretty sure she said it wrong. "Oh, I think it really depends on the injury really."
Lucy hummed at the girls answer, then bent down to the girls' eye level and pointed to her face. "I'm blind in my left eye can you heal me?"
"Oh my gosh Lucy-san how did that happen?" Wendy panicked.
Lucy waved off the smaller girls panicked worries. "My jerk of a dad stabbed me in the eye during one of our spars, but anyways do you think you could do it?"
Wendy swallowed nervously, "Um maybe?"
"If not it's whatever." Lucy shrugged. "My other sense is really good I just like having two eyes to see you know."
Wendy gawked at the young girl who shrugged off the fact she may be permanently blind in her eye, in awe that she would say such a thing. Taking a deep breath, she decided to take a chance and heal the girl she had just met. She seemed nice enough to help and who knows since she's also a slayer maybe she would be willing to help train her to be strong like her.
"Um, well, I'm not very good at it just yet, but maybe I could try to heal you?"
Lucy looked at the little girl then Aquarius, who was still out, before smiling, "AWESOME! You're our hero, Windy!"
Master Roubaul did not expect anyone to find the location of Cait Shelter any time soon, or if they did he certainly did not expect it to be a preteen with such frightening magical prowess. As much as he wanted to protest their stay, he knew having another child around for Wendy's sake would be beneficial.
"Yes, so I'm gonna need some food and a napping place." The girl said. "Oh, and Windy said she can heal my eye?" Lucy pointed to her scared eye.
"Uh...of course if you go pass those houses over there, you'll find space for yourself and as for our healer I believe you mean Wendy. She can heal you but only if she would like too."
Roubaul turned to his youngest member who was smiling happily, "She seems kinda slow master but she's very sweet. She even said she'll train me after I heal her eye."
"Well, if you trust her then I will allow her stay."
The next day
"Wow Windy, you healed my eye like it was nothing!" You sure are powerful for a kid."
Wendy blushed at the praise never having get such praise from anyone. Not even Charle had ever praised her before.
"Nonsense Wendy is still a child despite her powers and needs rest. So, no more exerting yourself Wendy" Charle snapped.
Lucy not liking being scolded went up to the flying cat, apparently having a demon for a father caused things like this to not shock her. "Listen here kitty, when I praise someone it's because it's the truth. So, if I say my Windy is strong it's because it's the truth. Besides exerting yourself is the only way you can expand your magic container, so stop stopping Windy from making herself stronger. Oh, and test me with that tongue of yours and I'll cook ya for dinner."
Charle swallowed any retort she had and let the blonde pass on bye, patting the bluenette on her head before leaving.
Wendy watched as Lucy passed her by with stars in her eyes. She didn't need to see her fight to know the girl was powerful. She had mentioned at dinner that she was a demon slayer and celestial mage, explaining both powers. The fact she was able to have both impressed and made Wendy look up to Lucy so much.
She didn't know when Lucy would be leaving but she hoped she could get a little help from her before she left.
"Brat's got a point. If you don't let this brat strengthen herself how'll she become stronger?" Aquarius asked.
"Wendy is fine where she's at!"
"That's what you say, but what does Wendy think?" Looking to the little girl she goes to speak again, "Hit the damn brat up if you wanna get stronger."
"Charle I'm gonna get trained by another slayer!" Wendy smiled.
"Miss Lucy!" Wendy yelled.
Lucy turned around to see the little girl she was slowly growing attached to run at her. "Hey it's lil dragon!"
"Huh?"
"Oh yeah well cause your power and you're little. And you were trained by a dragon!"
Wendy thought back to their first encounter and blushed. It had been at least two months since the blonde had decided to stay at her guild, well over the time Lucy planned to stay at the small guild and rest. Although Wendy had offered the older blonde the option to join her guild she had refused, citing that her main objective of going to Alvarez and destroying dark guilds hadn't been fulfilled yet, therefore she would not be joining any guilds until she did.
"Oh yeah, I forgot."
"So, what do ya want lil dragon?"
Wendy looked away momentarily before asking her to spar. "I wanna see if my magics gotten stronger since I've started training with you!"
"HA, alright!"
An 2 hours later
"Sky Dragon ROAR!"
"FIRE DEMON WRATH!"
"Boom!"
The blow back to the two attacks could be seen for miles, if anyone were in the forest. Instead it was just the two occupants who were fighting each other, one currently sprawled on the ground on the verge of unconsciousness the other smiling at how far their lil dragon has come from the weak little roars they used to conjure up when they first sparred.
"I…Don't really...see…a difference" the smaller child huffed, sprawled on her back exhausted.
Lucy lifted the small child on her back smiling. Despite what the little girl thought she had grown immensely, well compared to her it might not seem like it, but she really has.
"Nah, you've gotten way stronger. You just gotta remember you're facing me the daughter of the strongest demon, course you're not gonna do well against me!"
"That and you have five years of training over her" Charle drawled.
It was night when Lucy and Loke had finally decided that it was time for them to leave and set off for Alvarez again. Since they had a better idea of where the closest town was it would be easier for Lucy to find a train station and get back on track to her main destination. By morning Lucy and her spirits had everything all packed leaving her alone to give the heartbreaking news to the little girl who had grown so close to Lucy.
"Lucy…why are do you have your cloak on and your bag packed?" a teary eyed bluenette asked.
Lucy looked away awkwardly but realizing that was unfair to the girl looked back to her to answer. "Uh well, remember when I told you I still had that thing I had to do for Luce?"
The girl nodded.
"Well, Loke and the others have agreed that it's time I move on and start for my original destination…I'll miss you lil dragon" she mumbled arms opened wide for a hug.
"I'll miss you to Lucy!" Wendy yelled before tackling the girl in what she considered a giant bear hug. It was like losing Grandeeney and Jellal all over again. Wendy couldn't stop the tears coming down from her eyes no matter how much she wanted them too.
"I promise I'll never stop looking for your dragon and plus I won't be in Alakitasia forever only for a few years, so we'll see each other soon and then you can show me how strong you got, lil dragon!" Lucy cheered, wiping the younger girls' tears.
Wendy nodded her head already counting down to the day she would be reunited with the girl she began to consider her big sis. Unable to stop the onslaught of tears that came when she watched the older girl disappear beyond the trees. The unspoken promise of getting stronger going through both their heads.
