(Lucy's POV):
When it got to Igneels training, I found that it was harder than I thought.
I had to wake up at 3:00AM every day, travel to Igneel's realm, then begin a series of Hard tests that improved my basic Skills, Such as;
Agility, Endurance, Cardio Vascular, Mobility, Pace, and Reflexes.
So far, Igneel has informed me that my Agility, Reflexes and Endurance is improving rapidly. Igneel had turned into his Human Form, in fear that during his Dragon Body, he'd unknowingly cause harm to me.
Gosh, Who knew he was such a worrier sometimes? Despite his incredibly annoying, smug, cocky, annoying, dumb attitude towards everything, I can't help but think that he's probably one of the most Loyalist Dragons you'll ever meet. His human form attire consisted of a black vest, orange cape, beige knee-length trousers (Like Natsu's trousers), and some Gladiator sandals. His firey-red hair was like a mop on his head, and hung loose on his shoulders. An adrenaline-pumped grin was plastered on his matured face.
"So, Lucy-Chan. Today we will focus on elements, and Push aside the Basic training. If you wish to surpass the low expectations of the Public from Earthland, you have to believe and push yourself. Okay?" Igneel said, sending me a supportive smile.
"Okay. Though, what spells?" I asked, accepting the Supportive smile with a grin in return.
"Obviously, there is the Dragon Slayer spells, and then there is the normal Fire casting spells. Such as Fire manipulation, a spell that can turn any fire into a colour, that represents an element. I'm certain that maybe after, 1-3 hours, you'll be able to Master it. Layla was able to manage it within two!" He smiled, baring many sharp Canines, ones that resembled daggers. "Before we start, do you have any Questions?"
"Yes, actually." I nodded my head. "What type, or types, of Magic does my Mother wield?"
"Well.. During the time when Layla-Chan was in Earthland, she was able to perform Celestial Dragon Slaying magic, Ice-Make magic, Fire magic, Sky Dragon Slaying Magic magic, Earth Dragon Slaying magic, Water Dragon Slaying Magic, and Celestial Priestess magic. When she returned to the Dragon Realm, Electra began teaching her Lighting Dragon Slayer magic. After that, I began teaching her Fire Dragon Slayer magic, along with Metalicana who taught your mother Iron Dragon Slaying magic, and then Weisslogia taught her Light Dragon Slaying, and then Skiadrum came along.. All in all, Layla is the Queen of Dragons for a reason." Igneel replied.
"I can see where I get the awesomeness from, then!" I laughed.
"Alright, since I've seemed to sum up the Question in one big go, how about we start training?" He suggested, taking me over to Lava Pools.
"Uh~ Okay then." I nervously agreed, standing by his side.
"Now, the Lava Pools have an Unbelievably high amount of heat, if can't tell. I want you to go in there, relax, and until you can feel at peace with Fire, don't come out." He ordered, pointing towards the Bubbling, sizzling hot oil oozing out of the pools. "Go on."
"I can feel reluctance within me, yet I have a feeling that I'd end up being put in the Lava either way." I pouted, making my way over to the Lava Pools.
I quickly took off the clothes that I had, leaping into the Blazing hot Lava, shrieking as it came into contact with my skin. I didn't know whether to complain or not, but, all I know is that it brought back some painful memories. When Natsu had used his magic to attack me, I could actually feel it Burn my skin off, and when I had checked my wounds.. They were all fleshy and gross.
If Igneel had been calling me, I don't know, because right now all I felt was a void.
A void of Solitude.
A void of Nothing.
A void of Betrayal.
A void of... Hate.
My eyes, turning black once again, did not return to their Normal Chocolate brown colour. I didn't feel such warmth inside of me, and all I knew was that I hated Fairy Tail. Everyone, Everything inside of it.
Except Makarov, and Mavis, and The people who enjoyed my presence.
I felt, emotionless, in a word to sum it up. 'I will only open up to the ones I care about. I will never show weakness around the ones that hate. I can only show love around the ones I care about. I cannot show weakness around the ones that I hate.' I kept telling myself.
"Lucy, you may step out now. It's been four hours." Igneel said.
"Is that good or bad?" I asked.
"Well, it's neither really. I have to admit, that I usually fall asleep in the Lava Pools after an Hour!" He began to laugh, tears forming in the corners of his eyes. He looked over at me, and coughed, then turned back to me. "Lucy-Chan, you let it take over?"
"Trust me Igneel, I'd rather have my Brown eyes, but this is the only way that won't remind me of what Fairy Tail did. Everytime I go somewhere, something is there to remind me of them." I replied.
"Ah, I see. Well, at least you can trust us Dragons! We all love you like our own, so you need not fear about our bonds. You seem to remember Delphine, Mizuko, Constellar, Metalicana, Grandeeney, Erin and Myself well, so, I guess your fine." He smiled, leading me over to a Large space.
"I'm glad I remember you guys," I mumbled, following after him.
"Okay, Lucy-Chan. We will practice the Dragon spells first, and then normal Fire spells, and finally, some hand-to-hand combat." He informed me. "Repeat, after me. FIRE DRAGON ROAR!" He roared, an Orange beam shooting out of his Mouth.
"Should I repeat it in the Tenjin no.. blah blah?" I asked.
"Yosh!" He nodded his head, wiping his mouth.
"ROAR OF THE FIRE DRAGON!" I roared, an Orange beam shooting out of my Mouth.
"Amazing! Now Lucy, I'm sure you know of the rest of the Spells, so I'll sit back and watch!" He cheered, sending me an Annoyingly smug smirk.
I continued to do the Spells, such as;
Roar of the Fire Dragon, Fire Dragon wing attack, Fire Dragon brilliant flame, Fire Dragon Wing slash... etc.
We got onto basic Fire spells, and truth be told, they were quite hard.
"Now Lucy, when I spoke about the Fire Manipulation spells earlier, I didn't say much detail. If I fire an attack at you, Fire Manipulation will turn it into any Element that can be devoured by the Dragon Slaying type." He explained. "FIRE DRAGONS BRILLIANT FLAME!"
"Fire Manipulation!" I yelled, holding my palm out, releasing an Orange Energy. "Celestial!"
My hands were covered in Golden Flames, and I quickly ate it.
My eyes widened in awe, amazed by this simple act of Wizardry.
"Well done! Now, on to a different Spell.. Hm... How about, Fire Whirlwind? It's both Air magic and Fire magic put together. With the attack, you can produce a Tornado that can cause minor distruction, but enough to slow an Opponent down." He said. "Try it."
"Fire Whirlwind!" I yelled, throwing my arms up in the air, creating a giant tornadoey thingy.
"So Cool~~!" Igneel cooed, clapping his hands in excitement.
"You act like a child sometimes, yet your like 300+ years old!" I mumbled, destroying the Tornado.
"There's nothing more I can teach you after this. You've learnt and trained everything I've taught. Plus, you knew some other attacks anyways. We can head back to the palace after this!" He said. He transformed back into his Dragon form, then raised his head, signalling me to get on.
"Okay~!" I smiled, hopping onto his Scaley back.
When we arrived at the Palace, I could vaguely make out the sight of the other Dragons, waiting outside for my arrival. Excitement bubbled up inside of me, as I felt a rush of Determination and High authority. I was beginning to accept the feeling, that I tried so hard to ignore and leave. If my emotions continued to Reject me, I shall do the same.
"Hello everyone!" I smiled, flipping off of Igneel.
"Bunny-Girl! That was fucking amazing!" Metalicana gawked, praising me for my awesome skills.
"I learn from the Best!" I cheered, patting Igneels back, earning a Grin from him. "Where's my mother?"
"Layla-Chan is in the Palace Study, with Iroshiya, Lu." Mizuko replied, pointing towards the Arc-Doors of the Palace.
"Okay. Thank you, Igneel-San!" I called.
When I entered inside the Palace, I sprinted into the Study. Mother and Isis were talking and Laughing, saying something about 'Learning from the best'.
"Ah, Lucy-San. It's been a long time since we've seen each other!" Isis said, walking over to me, crushing me in a hug.
"Mhm! I missed you, y'know!" I weeped into her shoulder, comedically crying. "Why didn't you visit me?!"
"I had to train, again, and I also was waiting for Master Makarov to return. I noticed dark magic that wavered throughout the Guild, and it includes Lisanna Strauss." She said.
"Ooohhh.. Well, are you okay now?" I asked, checking her arms for any sign of Wounds.
"Lucy, I'm more than fine. That incident with me being attacked, occured 10 months ago. Don't you remember?" She raised an eyebrow, but didn't pry.
"10.. Months..?!" I shrieked.
"It's really hard to work out the Time zones from this Realm and Earthland. Layla-San, What is the difference?" Isis asked, turning to the Blonde-Haired woman, otherwise known as Mama.
"We are three months ahead of Earthland. In three months time It'll be January for us, but for Earthland it'll be October." Layla replied. "Now, Lucy, Iroshiya-Chan will be training you from today onwards. She will teach you the basics of Copying Magic, Requip Magic, Forbidden Spells, Ancient Spells, and Star Summoning magic, then she will move you onto the Advanced techniques."
"Cool~!" I quickly followed Isis out into the Training room, where she had drawn out a Diagram, using a Light pen.
"When using Requip, you must be able to Requip speedily. Otherwise the Opponent will attack during the Formation, which will most certainly lead to severe injuries upon the Body. Of course, I'm not as speedy as Erza, but nobody yet has defeated me with my Requipping magic. Except from..- Never mind me, but yes, you must be speedy." Isis explained, handing me a Light pen. "You like Drawing, right?"
"Yes.." I mumbled.
"I want you to draw out, any outfit, one that represents Battle clothing. After that, I'll tell you what to do." She ordered, taking the seat that I happened to be seated in.
I quickly sketched a rough drawing of an Ideal outfit that I'd wear; One with many Battle armour on it.
Starting off: I drew a simple Black bandeau, with a pair of Black shorts, Braces that would hold up the Shorts, floor length navy blue waist-coat with Golden outlinings, and Black thigh-high boots. Two Ivory and Gold samurai swords strapped on either side of waist, a Magic reloader gun strapped on the back. Gauntlets, and a Breastplate included.
"Lucy.. That's quite, Beautiful.." Isis smiled, tracing the marking of the outfit out with her hands.
"Thanks.." I muttered, pouting in embarassment.
"The spell that I want you to learn, is Requip Embodiment. A spell that allows you to configure hand-made Armour. It takes a month for it to be crafted, and then it will slowly be added into your Requipping selection." Isis explained. "I learnt that at the age of 10. It's been almost 5 years since then.. Try out the spell."
"Requip Embodiment!" I yelled, holding a hand over the drawing, flashing a Gold and Silver aura.
"Great! It'll be done in a Month, so make sure you contact Layla-San to remind me to come back. You have Erza's other Requip forms stored in your Mind, so, practice them." She nodded her head, a faint grin pulling at her Lips.
"Requip!; Morning Sun Armour!" I yelled, a magic circle forming underneath me, golden coloured.
My Requip was exactly like Erza's, except a Sun designs swirled over my outfit. My abilities with this Armour had Enhanced massively, making a surge of Energy rush through my body, setting in my bones.
"Requip!; Celestial Empress Armour!" Isis yelled, a magic circle forming underneath her, white coloured.
Her Requip was like the Sea Empress Armour, except that instead of having a Shell Crown, she had a Moon Crown with an overlapping Crescent over it.
"Lucy, I will battle you. Push yourself, and give it your all, as will I. We will continue to practice until you have mastered the Requipping system." She prepared in Battle stance, as Did I. "Ready?"
"Come at me!" I charged with determination, a grin appearing on both of our faces.
Our battle begun there, clashing our swords together, dodging and striking each other with strength.
