Heyo guys. I hope you've all had a nice week, and look forward to the newest Fairy Tail episode on the 14th (I think?) of March. I AM. Like, I've been so bored, that I read a Gratsu fanfic and watched Fairy Tail episode 1- current (Which is 223, I think? Again). Well, anyways, I hope you're all enjoying the story so far/enjoyed the story so far. Enjoy this next part!~
(Lucy's POV):
It was some time between 8:00AM and 10:00AM, that I noticed a change in my appearance. Some time between 12:00PM and 2:00PM, I had understood the change in my appearance. I had mid-thigh length hair, with Black and Silver streaks in it, Highlighting the Shimmery-golden glow of my Locks. My eyes had become a harsh, emotionless tone of Black, showing an endless orb of Oblivion in my features. I had reverted back to my exquisite self. Manners, dressing elegantly, and perfecting my skills, were all I cared about. If I wasn't with my Family, I was training, I was pushing myself, I was destined to do so. If I had stayed with Father, maybe I wouldn't be like this? I think that all the time, but then I think of the positive side. If I hadn't of gone to Fairy Tail, I wouldn't of been able to do this. See my mother once again, meet my true Nakama, and have the strength that is Required, to protect my close ones.
One of the Maids in the Palace, had informed me last month, that my Corronation was today. I had woken up at 4:00AM, in preparation, to rule over the Dragon Realm.
I had chosen an Outfit that consisted of,
A black, floor length dress, with a White shawl, and White stilettos. On the dress, it had a Vine-design on it, that sprouted into a Golden flower. Silver jewels, and Amethyst jewels decorated the stem, complimenting the features. I had personally asked the Head of Maids, Freya, to style my hair, for this day in particular.
My fringe was pinned to the side, forming the first part of my Hairstyle. One half of my hair was clipped back to the Far side of the back of my head, with the other half hanging over my shoulder. A small Lotus flower was clipped into my hair, finishing up.
Several minutes had passed of me laying in bed, so I decided to get up, changing into my ceremonial outfit. Glade and Miako had arrived shortly after my changing, and were dressed in Matching Black and Gold outfits.
Miako was wearing a black frilly dress, with a Golden shawl, and a small White bow wrapped around the tip of her tail.
Glade was wearing a Black suit, and Golden tie.
I was not nervous, surprisingly. If anything, I was quite proud, and Honored. Such title it to be held with Pride, and Elegance.
A light knock on my bedroom door, distracted me from my thoughts, Mother's petite figure appearing.
"Lucy dear, I have some news to share," Mother grinned, seating herself at the Beige sofa that was pushed to the corner of my room.
"Might it be good, or bad?" I asked, mimicking mothers actions.
"Indeed it is Good! Now, do you want to hear it or not?" Mother smiled.
I eagerly nodded my head, staring intently at my mother, waiting for her to tell me.
"Lucy, I am expecting a child. You will be an Older sister!" We both squealed in excitement, shocking me at first, then embracing the emotion. I instantly placed a hand on Mother's slowly-developing stomach, feeling the slightly rounding of Maternity. "Alright, enough about me. Time to shine!"
She quickly left the room, the sound of feet slamming against the ground heard outside my door, signalling the action of Running.
I gently smoothened out the creases on my Dress, wrapping my shawl around my shoulder once more, then slowly made my way towards the Royal Hall.
Lights illuminated the halls, beautifully outlining the crystalline features of the Palace. Each Dragon, respectively waited outside of their own Department. Metallicana and Tsuki grinning, Igneel and Grandeeney smiling, Erin and Spectra Grinning, Skiadrum and Weisslogia smiling, Mizuko and Winter chuckling, Paulius and his mate, Galatea, the Sound/Music dragon grinning, then finally, Delphine and and a Mousy-brown haired man smiling.
I had to dig further into my memories, processing the being that was currently not acknowledged in my mind. Draco?
I think I remember him. He used to come with Delphine, every thursday and saturday, training me.
I nodded at each of them, parading my way through the Wide halls, the Dragons trailing behind me with their mate. Opening the Grand Hall's door, many other Dragons- I assume- were seated around many tables. Young elves and Nymphs smiling and throwing Flowers around me. Mother and Father were standing side by side, arm in arm, on the Left of the Three golden thrones. I walked down the aisle, stopping before Mother.
"Stand, bless, return." Mother ordered, and at once, the Dragons stood and waited in a line behind me.
"You have our Blessing, Princess." Igneel and Grandeeney bowed, then returned to their seats.
"You have our blessing, Princess." Metallicana and Tsuki smiled, bowed, then returned to their seats.
"You have our blessing, Princess." Skiadrum and Weisslogia smiled, bowed, then returned to their seats.
All of the Dragons repeated after each other, showing their respect and Gratitude towards me. Once all that was done, we had moved onto a more serious matter, and on a Pillow (A fancy one), a Large Diamond thingy was produced.
It's shaped in a 'V' arch thingy, and Hangs off your head, hooking around the ears. In the middle of this Crown or Tiara, whatever you might call it, was a Topaz Jewel, shining with such radiance, that I couldn't take my attention away from it.
"And now, we applaud, in celebration of Your new Queen! Her majesty, Queen Lucielle Miele Heartfilia of the Dragons!" The crowd cheered in happiness, grins and beaming smiles present.
I bowed down at my nakama, allowing the Crown/Tiara thingy to be lowered onto my head. It fit perfectly, and described me in just one word.
Important.
Because I am needed,
and must be needed.
I am wanted,
and must be wanted.
I will overcome my fears,
and no more shall my fears be.
But I have no worries of my state right now. I have changed, changed for the better. No more will people annoy me, no more will people use me for their own selfish needs.
I am the Emotionless, the Monotone. The stern, the cold. I will not show warmth towards all that stand in my way,
There is no way to revert back. Not at all.
Or is there?
I don't want to know. I have no time to think about the Pro's and Con's of my Situation,
Mother walked to my side, planting a kiss on my forehead, then cuddling me tightly.
"My baby.. I'm so proud of you!" Mother screamed into my ear.
"A-Ano.. Arigato.." I chuckled, mentally crying in pain as my ear rang violently.
"I'M SO PROUD OF MY LIL' GIRL~!" She was now crying. Mumbling something about hormones and other things. Oh well.
I had noticed a vacant table, in the center of the room, and quickly walked towards it. Many Elven children and Nymphs gathered around me, asking several Questions about royalty, and my Magic. I saw a group of Teenagers in the Crowd, and immediately recognised them as the Four main nymphs.
A child that resembled Iroshiya walked over to me, placing her hand over mine, with a smile on her face.
"Queen Lucielle, I want to congratulate you on your corronation. I look forward to having you as a Queen." She said. "Gomen, I didn't introduce myself, did I? I'm Aria, the Nymph of Air."
"Arigato, Aria-San. I deeply respect such Gratitude," I smiled back at her, instantly taking a liking to the young girl.
"Hi!" The other three teenagers greeted, bouncing with every step that they took, grins plastered on their faces.
"Hello." I waved at them.
"I congratulate you on such amazing achievements, my Queen. I am Flames, the Nymph of Fire." A blood-red haired boy smiled.
"Congratulations, Queen Lucielle. I am Waves, the Nymph of Water." An ocean-blue haired boy greeted.
"Congratulations! And to Lady Layla-San aswell. She's expecting a child, right? Well anyways, I am Elvira, the Nymph of Earth." A lime-green haired girl grinned.
"Arigato, all of you. It means a lot. And yes, my mother is indeed expecting a child in 9 months time. Maybe you could all be my Baby brother's/sister's God parents?" I grinned back at the Girl, patting the young nymph on her head.
After that conversation, I called over the Dragons, Elves, Nymphs, Mother and Father, and Minato to the table. We celebrated with several types of Wine, main courses and Desserts. Mother was stuffing her face with the Toffee Cheesecakes, where as I, was eating all of the Strawberry cheesecakes.
The classical music started booming around the Hall, thanks to Galatea, and I was immediately asked to dance by many men in the room. I agreed to each of them, enjoying the time whilst I had it, and then stopped to take a break.
A jet-black haired boy entered the room, walking over to Mother, saying something in her ear. She eagerly nodded, with a faint glint in her eyes and grin on her face. The boy sat in the seat next to me, occasionally giving me a glance from the corner of his eye. I met his glance once with a glare, and he blushed, then turned his head away.
"If you keep looking at me from the corner of your eye, it'll stay that way forever~" I sang, flicking the Boys head.
Everyone burst out in laughter, excluding me and the boy, tears gathering in their eyes. The brunette-(I'm referring to someone with Black-hair)- continued to Blush, stuttering as Metallicana whispered something to him, then nudged his side playfully. I simply ignored the silly comments, and returned to my eating.
"Lucy dear, don't you remember Minato?" Mother asked.
"I do not." I replied, sighing. "I wouldn't of met him often, considering I was kept in Earthland by Jude. I never visited Draconia when I was a little girl."
"Aw, that's unfortunate. Minato is like, madly in love with you or something." Winter grinned, nodding her head towards the Jet-Black haired boy, who had blushed once again. "Not even joking."
"Love? I do not understood such cryptic words." I said. "I'd like to excuse myself for the moment."
I pushed out from my chair, strolling towards the Arch doors that had access to the Royal Library. I reached for the handle, turning it slightly, then closing the door once I got it. A large table, with at least 20 chairs, was placed in the middle of the room, but was occupied with Messengers.
I grabbed a pen and Paper, then sat down an a Vacant chair.
And I wrote,
'Dear Sting Eucliffe, Master of Sabertooth,
Hello, this is Lucielle Heartfilia speaking. I would like to ask, that I have entry to Sabertooth? I am returning from two and a Half years worth of Training, from a Realm, of which I cannot say. I know what you might be thinking, "Blondie's too weak," or "Thought she's in Fairy Tail?"- Well, to answer them, I am not weak. If anything, I am overpowering. I have two golden chains around my arms, that restrict almost a half of my true power to come out. Also, I left Fairy Tail, two years ago due to a Brutal attack that Natsu had done to me. I couldn't be in a Guild that would hurt me, wouldn't you agree?
I wish nothing but to have my revenge, and that is all. I will not bother you, nor the other Saber's, I will only do my purpose as a member.
I also want to ask that Five other members join. Four nymphs, one human. The nymphs are named Aria, Flames, Waves, and Elvira. The other human is named Minato. They have accompanied me since the age of 17, and will accompany me for many years.
That is all I ask for now, Sting-San.
Hopefully, I will speak to you soon?
Sincerely,
Lucielle Heartfilia.' I sealed the envelope, and quickly gave it to one of the Messengers, who ran off towards the Delivery rooms.
Minato had entered the room, unexpectedly, and sat down beside me, picking up a book that was titled "Yami To Hikari". Darkness and Light?
An odd title, but Okay.
"Ne, Minato-San, what is that book about?" I asked, leaning over his shoulder as he silently read.
"A-Ano.. It's about a boy who's adamant that his life has no Light, but it changes when he meets this girl who is adamant that her life has no Darkness. She helps the young boy find his light, yet his Darkness latches onto the young girl. They form such a bond, soon falling in Love, having a child. Needless to say, it's a Moving story of how opposites attract." He replied, a small smile forming on his face.
"I'm afraid that I cannot feel such emotions." I ignored the falter of his smile, and continued to go about with my daily writing.
'Dear Master Makarov Dreyar,
Hello, Ojii-san. I haven't spoken to you in a long time, right?
I miss you, very much actually, and wish that I could return to the Guild that I once thought loved me.
I have decided to Join Sabertooth, though I am currently not in Earthland, and so will my Five companions. You might of heard of them. The four elemental nymphs? Aria, Flames, Waves, and Elvira. They are my closest friends, I think of them as my own. The fifth is a young boy, from my Childhood, named Minato. I don't really remember him that much, but he seems quite.. Interesting. How's the Guild?
I hope all is well for you, Master. Is Mavis alright? I really hope that she is good. Master, how is Iroshiya-chan? I have a feeling that she is not happy with the Guild. I don't want her to leave the Guild that she loves, just because of me, who was betrayed. I am far more stronger than before, possibly stronger than all Seven dragon slayers combined. Has Jellal returned to Magnolia yet? He and Antonia-chan were meant to be there by now. If not, please alert me.
I will regularly visit you and Mavis. I will return home, whenever I am ready. Whenever I am allowed, actually. I must train harder.
I hope to see you soon, Makarov.
Sincerely,
Queen Lucielle Miele Heartfilia of the Dragons, xoxo!' I wrote quickly, and pushed it in the Mailbox that transports letter to Magnolia, or it's destination in other words.
Minato tapped me on the shoulder, placing a stack of books infront of me, a small grin on his pale face.
"My mother was best friends with Layla-san, whilst she was alive. She used to read me these books about the link, between Dark magic and Celestial Magic, which ultimately shocked me. If you want, you can read them. They hold quite interesting information!" Minato said.
"Arigato, Minato-San." I added the books into my Literature segment.
Literature segment was like a Vein in my body, that absorbed memory and stores it there for many years. It's an advanced version of Archive magic, in other words. Thanks to Tsuki and my previous self, it was excessively easy to upload this spell into my body.
Minato's eyes became hazy as he stared at the door, then collapsed onto the floor in a heap.
I quickly ran to his side, scanning his body for any signs of an Inflicted wound from enemy.
His right eye was an Icy-blue colour, whilst the left eye, was a Minty green colour. They were flickering red and white, confusing me, and also startling me. Unless his magic was doing this, then something is indeed wrong.
"Minato?! Minato! Wake up, Minato-san!" I yelled.
Mother rushed in, along with a small boy who had immediately rushed over to Minato. I looked up in confusion and annoyance as they silently waited for Minato's recovery, which didn't seem to be happening.
One of the Royal Guards, Yin, used his archive magic to inform the Royal Nurses of Minato's sudden state. Grandeeney and this young girl, had stepped forward, transporting themselves and Minato to the Infirmary. Mother did nothing but step out of the room after, along with the rest of the people. Except from the young boy that had originally entered the room, who was standing there, clenching his fists. I thought it'd be wise for me to check on him, but was pounced on, crushed in a hug. Tears stained the boys face as he rubbed his face into my Silk robes, mumbling words that I could not fathom.
"Tell me, young boy. What is your name?" I asked, cradling the child in my arms as he calmed down.
"M-My name is.. Zeta.." He replied.
"Is Minato-san.. related to you?" I asked, running my fingers through his hair, standing up as I walked towards the door with him in my arms.
"Minato.. is papa.." Zeta was crying once again, shaking my arms uncontrollably.
I soothed him with some reassuring words, and smiled as he ended up asleep. I carried him into my room, and tucked him into the Silvery satin sheets, then hurrying into the infirmary.
Minato was in a private room, that was surrounded by Guards. I opened the door, sitting beside the Older Black-haired boy as his ragged breathes beat against his throat.
I fell asleep beside him, my head resting on the edge of the bed.
Then, there was a vision.
I was in the Training fields, with Delphine, we were discussing about my soon departure. Mother was there also, with Father, caressing her Maternity bump as if life depended on it. Zeta was in my lap, eating what looked like, a Strawberry cheesecake. Minato was sitting next to me, engrossed within his book.
'Lucy.. you will learn in time, that the one you hate the most, is also the one that you love.' Delphine said.
'I've experienced romantic love, and I never want to go through it again. It's a big waste of time, and Hurts my heart far to much. The cracks will become more visible if I do so,' I retorted, folding my arms over my chest.
'But love is something that should be cherished, Lucy. Surely, deep down, you would like to feel it again?' Delphine asked.
'Maybe. Secretly, even the Darkest of hearts, wish to be loved. Albeit, mine is much to Tainted for that.' I replied, a sad smile forming on my face.
'I can sense that truly, there is someone who loves you. By the name of..'
The dream ended almost to fast, wakening me from my deep slumber, gasping for air in shock. Minato had not waken yet, but his breathing was far more calmer than before. Although he seemed okay, I truly wonder what happened. I placed my hands over his chest, closing my eyes, then began to heal him. His eyes fluttered open, revealing the Icy-Blue and Minty-green orbs that I hoped to see.
"Where.. Lucy?" He asked, turning his head around to face me.
"Minato-san, you fainted in the Messaging room, Grandeeney is unsure of what happened. Though I personally think it's because you have suffered a sudden shared vision. I wasn't affected by it, because I have complete control over my magic, where as you are only beginning to learn the basics of Heavenly Body magic and Forseeing magic." I replied.
"But.. I've mastered Ice-Devil slayer magic.. I've been able to use it since I was five.. How can I have three types of magic..?" He mumbled, staring at the ceiling, a sigh escaping both our lips.
"Iroshiya-Chan has 10 different types of Magic, Jellal-san has over 13 different types, and I have over 15. It's not impossible, but requires a large amount of training. When I return to Earthland, you can come along, and Jellal will teach you Heavenly Body Magic." I leaned back in the chair, groaning as my back clicked in soreness.
"You.. You plan on going to Earthland?" He asked. "I thought you came here to stay! And I overheard about what Fairy Tail did to you.. how can you just go back? What if they hurt you again?"
"I must return some day. I want to go back within two months, maybe three. That would be my full three-years promise, to Makarov Dreyar." I replied, grinning in happiness. "Minato-san, you would have to come with me. I've considered you my team-mate now, and Jellal-san needs to train you. The nymphs have agreed to come with me, aswell, and then I could convince Zeta to join us. If Fairy Tail want to hurt me; then so be it. I'll simply show them what it means to be me."
"Maybe.." He yawned. "Ne, Lucy-chan, do you honestly believe what Delphine said in that premonition?"
"I refuse to believe it." I said with a stern glare, leaning my head against the edge of the chair. "I will never believe it, I don't want to believe it."
