LUCY POV

Stretching my muscles both Ali-chan and i started running along the now familiar tracks of the forest. The last few days was muscle killing but it was so satisfying to work out, to let go of all the pent-up frustration. Ali-chan even taught me soul meditation and i have to admit i look forward to it every single day.

(Day One)

"Sit down with your eyes closed and relax, the reason i am teaching you this is that when you see your soul Lucy you become familiar with yourself... it is like escaping reality to check in with yourself. So close your eyes and take deep breaths, let your thoughts wander, think about the unhappy events in your life, your failures, the problems you faced and think about how you overcame them." Her calm voice floated in my mind and i do as she said, thinking about my mother's death, how my father shut me out, how i never saw him until he had something to do with his business, how he wanted me to marry anyone who was ready to invest in his business. How, because of me, my guildmates were hurt during phantom lord, how i was so weak during every battle when my friends won each one with pride.

The feeling of worthlessness settle over my heart and i found it so difficult to breathe.

"Now push those feelings out of your system and remember the happy memories, the things you accomplished, the family you have waiting for you out there." The unhappy memories were replaced with happy ones in an instant. When i spent time with mom as she taught me magic. When i was finally free from my prison so-called home. When i met Natsu and he brought me to fairy tail. I finally had a family, the time Levy Cana and Evergreen came to surprise me on my birthday and the guild held a party for me. When we teased each other for everything and nothing.

Then i felt it, myself falling deep into my thoughts that i was surrounded by the light and flickers of memories. It was like i was in another dimension. I was vaguely aware of my breathing, of my surroundings. The white light surrounding my memories seemed to reach for my hand and i was face to face with myself, Being pulled into the depths of my own existence. The white light changed into gold and i knew what Ali-chan meant. I saw my soul right in front of me, shining so bright i could not help but reach for her. But as soon as i made contact with her i was back into reality, falling back on the ground and breathing deeply, still in shock over the turn of events.

I sit up straight and see Ali-chan smiling at her as she raised her eyebrows at the silent question.

(Week Two)

"Come on Lucy, concentrate on your surroundings, every force of nature is a clue to whether you are in danger or not." I hear her voice but i don't see her. Crouching down i close my eyes and hear the sir shift to my left and jump back in reflex. There was an arrow right were i had been standing. I raise my hand and stop the impact of her punch and saw her smirking. Her feet raise to kick me but so does her hand, i crouch down and hook my elbow around her kneecap and jerking it forward making her fall, but not before she grabbed my neck in locked it with her elbow and wrapped her limbs around mine disabling me from moving.

Growling low i tap the ground and stand up. "Again."

This goes on for half a day as she makes me dodge, punch kick, work on my reflexes and teach me the working of proper art of combat side by side.

(Week Three)

Swinging the sword i launch myself forward face to face with Ali-chan. She pushes me back with force before going airborne and bringing her sword towards me, i crouch down and slide on the ground just in time to miss her attack and do a roundabout kicking her in her back.

Both of us look at each other when her sword disappears and she launches arrows in my direction and i dodge them, slicing the rest.

She had been working on my weapon training and said that they will help me in the future. Over the course of time, she taught me to use daggers, swords, still learning how to use the bow and arrow perfectly, spears and for some reason a staff.

I even started noticing the changes in my body. My stomach had been tone before but now the lines of perfect abs started to appear. My thighs lost whatever fat they had and were just muscles. I improved my upper body strength.

My spirits have been helping me with my training. Gimini would sometimes change forms and come at me looking like Erza or Mira and even Laxus. Loke helped in hand to hand combat, Capricorn has been helping me expand my magic barriers and now that i have been soul meditating i found it much easier to call out three spirits at a time.

Capricorn even started my training on star dress form. I am so excited to learn more now that we just started.

(2nd Month)

"Star dress: Scorpio!" My body is engulfed in the similar magic as i quickly change forms. I rise my hands and create a sand wall, meanwhile summoning Virgo and Gimini. Gemini changes into me and Virgo digs holes in the ground. I know it is quite useless against her since she could sense who was who easily, but i needed to get the flag within a minute. I Jump up and slice the first monster i see, using Scorpio's Enhanced speed and twist around, exploding the sand wall around me making the nearby monsters fall back and disappear into dust.

Gimini turned into Laxus, for a moment making my heart skip a beat and swallow a gulp. I shake my head and run ahead only to see three giants standing in my way. One of them slams their hand on top of me but i close my eyes and free fall to the underground and smile at Virgo who nodded her head and continued building a pathway towards the flag. we both come out next to the flag but someone kicks my stomach making me fall backwards.

I gasp at the impact and see Ari chan standing there looking at me smugly. I look at the time clock and grit my teeth, 'Only 30 seconds left' Mentally making a plan i channel Taurus's power in my hands and slam them down creating an earth wave, then summoning Sagittarius's bow and arrow and shooting it in her direction while she dodges the rocks that flew around her. I run again and a huge grin makes way on my face as i grab the flag.

"OH mY GoD! I did it!" i squeal out happily and clap my hands making Ari-chan laugh.

" Yes Lucy, and now you are a classifies Fairy tail mage for destroying half the area." She laughs and i blanch and look around sweatdropping at the amount of destruction i did.

" Now we can start your Angel training." She pats my back and walks away while i stand back gasping. I can't wait.
