Chapter 3 for you all! I'll try updating every other day.

Lucy wiped her tears. "New magic? What do you mean?" She touched her keys for comfort. She was still confused. Her friends were stuck on an island and will stay there for the next seven years, but they are actually alive, while everyone back at the guild will believe they are dead. And now she is told she can learn new magic or enhance her current one by Fairy Tail's first-founding Master who is dead. Things are really confusing.

"Lucy, you can learn a new magic and master it within the next seven years or learn to grow in your Celestial magic. It is your choice. Personally, I would want to perfect my original magic and learn a backup just in case, but that is my opinion." Lucy was thankful about Mavis's opinion. Using that, the blonde made her decision.

"I want to be able to continue my Celestial Magic. This is one of the last connections I have to my mother." She said the last part quietly.

"I understand, my dear. And we have the right person to help you," the First Master said. Lucy wondered who was coming. She looked around, trying to find out if the person was here, but instead she saw the dragons in their dragon form milling around. She really couldn't believe it. Igneel, Natsu's foster father, the one who Natsu spent so long looking for, was right here in front of Lucy. And not only Igneel. Grandeeney and Metalicana, too.

Lucy felt she should say something to the dragons on Natsu, Wendy, and Gajeel's behalf. She slowly walked toward them. Igneel noticed her first.

"Ah, Lucy. We were just talking about you. You're the first human in many centuries to come to the Dragon Realm. It's also been a while since I've been to the Earthland Realm. The one small glimpse on Tenrou Island wasn't enough to quench my curiosity. So tell us, how has it been there?" Igneel and the others, bar Metalicana, looked on with eagerness.

"Well, uh," Lucy began. "It's fine there. There are a lot of guilds, and I'm in Fairy Tail with Natsu, Wendy, and Gajeel. Natsu and Wendy really miss you guys. Gajeel does, too, but he hides it better than the other two. Natsu has been looking for you, Igneel, ever since you left him, and Wendy now goes with Natsu every time they find new leads about the dragons," she finished.

Igneel chuckled sadly. "Good to know he still cares," he said quietly. Grandeeney looked towards Igneel sadly.

"You know, Lucy. We never really wanted to leave, but we had to. I would tell you why, but I'm afraid that I can't," the Sky Dragon informed. A few feet away, Master Mavis watched Lucy and the dragons converse. Footsteps were heard as they walked to where Mavis stood.

"Is blondie over there the one I have to teach?" a silky voice asked.

"That blondie is possibly one of the most strongest Celestial mages that ever existed," the First responded.

"No need to overreact. I can feel her power rolling off her in waves. Just didn't expect her to be so young," the mysterious voice said calmly. "I'll go introduce myself." The speaker walked quietly to Lucy and the dragons. "Hello," he said, surprising Lucy with his sudden appearance.

"Kya!" She turned around, almost falling to the ground in the process, and saw a man who looked only a few years older than her. She blushed, knowing she embarrassed herself in front of the stranger.

"Oh. Sorry. Did I scare you?" His voice was deep and soft, but held authority in it. He was around the same height as Lucy and was slim in build. He had jet black hair so dark it looked blue, and gold colored eyes. He wore a black shirt and a dark blue jacket over it and gray jeans topped off with black shoes. He had a small smirk on his face, as if he didn't really mean his apology and was only saying it for show.

"U-uh, y-yeah. But i-it's okay," she said. 'What the heck? Why am I stuttering? Maybe it's because I was surprised by him.' "A-anyway, I'm Lucy. What's your name?" she asked, getting over her stuttering.

"My name, you ask? Well, I am Corvus, the Raven. And in case you haven't known, I am Corvus as in the Celestial Spirit," he told a rather shocked Lucy.

"Wait! I've never heard of a Silver Key that holds the constellation of the raven!" She was sure she knew of every single type of Silver and Gold Key, but maybe she forgot one.

"That's because I'm neither a Silver Key nor Gold. I am from the Platinum Keys," he said smugly, as if he were special because of it. Maybe because he was special. And maybe because he was also rather rare and legendary.

"W-wait. T-the Platinum K-keys? I-I thought those were a-a legend." 'Great, Lucy. Back to stuttering!'

"Well, they're real. And I'm here to train you for the next seven years," he said nonchalantly.

"What? How?!" The dragons were watching this with amusement dancing in their eyes. Lucy, however, was getting more and more confused. Luckily for her, Master Mavis understood what Lucy was going through and decided to intervene.

"Lucy, I'm sure this is really difficult for you right now. We will continue in the morning, and you can think about everything overnight. Grandeeney can show you to your room," First Master said kindly.

"Alright. Thank you," Lucy said gratefully.

Grandeeney appeared by her side in her human form. Her blue orbs locked with Lucy's brown ones, and she said, "I'll take you to your room now." She walked to the large palace and entered through the elegant gates, the blonde not far behind her.

I'll try to add the fourth chapter today. I'm almost done writing it. Thank you for reading!
