"How did you get to Mount Hakobe and back so fast?" Mirajane asked curious as she stared at the tall woman who made her way back to the bar.
"Trade secret right Natsu?" Lucy asked smirking as she looked at Natsu who looked up at her and then grinned. So it'd just be a secret between them for now? Okay! It wasn't like it would hurt anyone and maybe if he didn't tell anyone she'd let him ride on the cloud again!
"Yeah it was awesome! We got there in like twenty minutes and I didn't even get motion sickness!" Natsu said pumping his fist while Happy gave an 'aye' in return.
"No motion sickness? That's saying something!" Cana said having done a few jobs with Natsu and knowing what his motion sickness was like.
"And if you want an example of my soul magic I got the perfect thing." Lucy said glancing at Makarov who nodded his head with a wary look in his eyes.
"Show us." Makarov said and Lucy smirked as she reached into the duffel bag that she had left here earlier and pulled out a simple hand made doll. Everyone watched curiously as Lucy reached into the pocket of her jeans and pulled a small white orb out.
"Hey isn't that the thing the Vulcan became when you were separating it from Macao?" Natsu asked curiously and Lucy nodded.
"Yes. This is a soul, a Vulcans soul to be exact. It was trying to take over Macao but since he was fighting it pretty hard it was easy to remove the Vulcan's soul from Macao's body. My magic turns any soul I collect into a standard white orb." Lucy explained and everyone stared at her wondering what she was going to do.
Lucy just put the white orb to the doll and watched as it sank in, a small flash of pink going over the dolls body before it's face and body became more defined and it began to move and look around on its own.
"Thanks to my magic I can take the souls I collect and bring inanimate objects to life, sort of like animation magic except I don't have to keep it up all the time. I just pop the soul into whatever I'm putting it in and then that's it." Lucy explained as the doll looked up at her.
"Mama!" The doll spoke as it moved forward and beamed wrapping its small doll arms around Lucy's pinkie while she gave it a patient and kind smile.
"Since I am the one bringing them to life this way, they all view and call me Mama. It's just a side effect. Stronger souls make for stronger…well some people I've saved called them homies so that works, but since this was just a simple beasts soul it's not too strong compared to others. It'd be a great scout or last line of defense for protecting a child though." Lucy said letting the doll play with her finger a bit, looking like a fond and patient mom to the others.
"What's my name mama?" The doll asked beaming brightly up at Lucy as it clambered into her hand and she smiled fondly as she brought it closer to her face to examine it. So it was a male doll? That made sense considering the Vulcans soul was male.
"Hm…how bout something simple like…Chester?" Lucy asked and the doll grinned up at her, nodding his head.
"Chester! I'm Chester!" The doll said and Lucy gave an amused chuckle as she set it back on the counter.
"You can walk around and talk to people and play a bit if you want Chester but stay in this building. I'll take you the apartment I'm going to rent in a little while." Lucy said patting the doll gently on the head and making it beam and run off.
"They are still technically their own beings with their own thoughts and personalities. They just answer to me and do as I say." Lucy said as everyone watched the doll run over to play with Happy and Natsu who just blinked before grinning and playing gently with Chester, careful not to set him on fire.
"My that's quite impressive." Mirajane said staring at Chester and wondering Lucy could do with stronger souls and she had said that the Vulcan had used Take Over magic on Macao but she separated them…so did that mean that the blond could take away the demons that Mira had absorbed back when she still had her own Take Over magic?
"It can be useful. I limit myself on the souls I take though. For instance those who are on the Most Wanted list in whatever kingdom I'm in or beasts or even dark guilds that attack me are fair game. I don't take the souls of random civilians however even if they do annoy me." Lucy said making Makarov relax a bit at hearing that. So she wouldn't just steal the souls of people who annoyed her, she had some self control and morals. That was good.
"So you can just take souls and use them to bring things to life?" Cana asked watching Chester curiously as he ran over and started to play with Loke, tugging on the playboys hands and inspecting his rings and then pulling a face at the playboy before running off.
"Well I have a few other abilities that come with the power. For instance I can feel the souls of everyone around me and see peoples souls almost all the time, it's passive and can't really be turned off but I can focus on someone and intentionally use it to read their souls. I can also project my soul outward as pure will power without even using magic energy and if someone with a weak will is in the radius of the blast so to speak then they'll pass out. Those with strong souls can remain conscious however but it might be harder for them to move or breath." Lucy said and Mirajane, Cana and Makarov were a bit stunned at how powerful Lucy's ability was.
"And since he's a part of my soul given the form of a sun, I'm immune to being damaged by Prometheus' fire even if I didn't have skin like iron." Lucy added casually as Prometheus immediately began dancing upon her fingers, close enough to burn her but there was no damage done at all.
"Skin like Iron?" Mirajane asked making Lucy nod her head.
"That's not even magic. I was born like that. My skin is tougher than iron or steel. I've almost never gotten more than a few bruises from any of my fights, never a broken bone, and not once have I ever bled." Lucy said smirking slightly at that and no one really said anything about that yet. After all while they had heard her say she traveled around before they didn't know who she was or what all she had done.
"So you found somewhere to accommodate you?" Cana asked looking the woman up and down and wondering where in the city would be big enough for the tall woman.
"Found a nice sized apartment for cheap, I have to curl up a good bit but I'm used to that. It'll work until I have my house built out in the woods." Lucy said and Mirajane blinked a bit.
"You're going to be building yourself a house in the woods?" Mirajane asked just to verify that and making Lucy nod.
"Of course. Not many places are big enough for me to stretch out so I'll just have my own built. I've already got some contractors working on it and pointed out the spot of land I've bought to them. They said that the earliest they can have it done is two or three months so until then I'm renting a place." Lucy said and the others had to admit that she had a point. There weren't many places where Lucy could stretch out indoors.
"You're kind of weird." Natsu said but he was grinning at Lucy who grinned back.
"You don't know the half of it." Lucy said not offended in the least as she tilted her hat a bit to the side so she could brush her hair behind her ears.
She wondered how long it would take them to figure out just who she was since she knew that rumors about her and her title had spread far and wide.
Their reactions were going to be hilarious when they learned that "Big Mom" Lucy was in their guild.
