The next morning he found Lucy's face hovering above his. Jack did not jolt forward and hit her head, instead he moved it over while he sat up. He looked at the girl, not necessarily annoyed but definitely not pleased,
"And you've entered my house without permission why?" Lucy stared at him angrily,
"Leo came back and apologized for not being able to act as he normally does around me because he's afraid of the consequences! He told me you threatened him, along with my other spirits!" Jack's eyes glowed coldly,
"Allow me to correct you, Lucy-chan. I did not threaten your spirits. I merely reminded them of the Celestial law. It is hardly my fault that they forgot the consequences." Lucy growled,
"And exactly what consequences are those?" Jack looked down upon her, before Jokul surfaced.
"Girl. You have no idea how much your Spirits could suffer if they get too close to you. There is a reason they are either treated as toys, pets, or weapons. It is what they are meant to be. Should they become too attached they will either lose their memories, given another personality, or go into a grief induced rage and then get stripped of their powers, banished, but remain immortal. It has been done dozens of times before when a Spirit's master has died that the King had to take extreme measures, because the Spirit was unable to do their duty." Lucy stared at him in disbelief,
"What?! But I've never heard of such a thing!" Jokul looked at her mercilessly,
"That is because Celestial Spirit Mages have become less in number and thus many teachings have been lost. And besides, the Heartfilia line was the only line ever to treat Spirits as their equals. As their friends. They were fools that did not know the consequences. Your line is responsible for the creation of the Eclipse Zodiac. Anna Heartfilia owned all of the Zodiac, including Ophiuchus. And when she died, the Celestial Spirit King was forced to give the Zodiac different personalities so they could continue their duty. Because after her death… They just cried. They wouldn't stop. And the King did not have the heart to banish them. But their original selves never forgot their beloved owner. They just want to be free so they can join her. That is all." Lucy was in shock. She had never read about any of this. Jokul snorted, to think, this girl didn't even know her own history. Jokul found it incredibly ridiculous. Jack found it to be sad. And North, also known as Old Man Winter, thought it to be a shame.
AN: Don't own Fairy Tail or Rise of the Guardians, do own the idea of Anna Heartfilia's death creating the Eclipse Zodiac though.
