Woohoo to day 3 guys! :)

Freed and I had been sitting in the conference room for a few hours now. The rest of our team opted to go to the inn we were recommended, to set up our rooms for the night.

Not making very much headway no matter how much we looked. It made me thankful for bringing in the other books for cross referencing. And that's when I felt like the ultimate stereotype. I stood up hard enough to where the chair I was sitting in had scraped across the floor.

"Is everything alright Miss Lucy?" Freed asked with a concerned look on his face.

I sighed as I placed my hand on my keys to feel for the one I was looking for. "Just feeling like a stereotypical blonde at the moment Free." I found the key I was looking for and pulled it off the key ring before saying the incantation. " Open Gate of the Southern Cross, Crux!"

I heard the telltale sound of a doorbell and then there was a poof of smoke as one of my favorite spirits came through the gate of the Spirit world to this realm. "Hello Miss Lucy, what do you need help with today?" Grandpa Crux asked politely.

"Hi Grandpa Crux! I was wondering if you had any information on the Temple of Athena. Our Client needs us to find it's location so that we can gather more knowledge from her Temple." I smiled when he nodded and stated that he would take a look.

I went back to looking through some more of the books while Crux went through his endless library back in the spirit realm while still here. "Uhm Miss Lucy, Pardon my intrusion of your looking."Freed made a hand gesture towards the book then towards Grandpa Crux. "But I do believe your spirit has fallen asleep on you."

I looked over at Freed, then towards my spirit and then started to giggle. I could tell Freed was starting to become really confused so I had to explain to him what Crux was doing. "He's not really asleep Freed." I looked back down at the book in front of me before continuing. "When I call for Grandpa Crux, I'm bringing him from his library in the Spirit Realm. But instead of going back to the Spirit Realm when I've called for him, he stays here and searches through all of his knowledge on the books from here. So I can promise you right now, he's actually searching for any valuable information on the Temple of Athena."

As if he had been listening to Freed and I's conversation Grandpa Crux had startled awake and looked right over at me. "I do have a few books strictly on the Temple of Athena Miss Lucy. As well as any information she may have left regarding the location of her Temple. Would you like for me to bring them here for you to go through?"

I smiled brightly at my spirit and nodded. "Yes Please! Thank you so much for doing this Grandpa Crux!" I wait patiently as he nods and poofs the aforementioned books into his arms and hands them over to me.

With one last thanks Freed and I watch as Grandpa Crux dozes back off to sleep. "So is he in search of more information again?" Freed asks while looking over at me as I place my gale force reading glasses back over my eyes.

"Nope, he's actually asleep this time." I giggle as I place my hand over his key to send him back to the Spirit Realm. "These books he brought for us are ancient." I turn the pages as I try to identify the words written and sigh when I can't. "Freed would you mind checking this book? I can't understand it at all"

I pass the book over to Freed for him to look at for any clues. "I've seen these symbols somewhere before, but I can't recall which book or language it is." He set the book down on the table before picking up one of the books that had brought for us up and flipped through its pages until he found whatever it was he was looking for. "Here it is!" He states while walking over to me and holds the book out towards me, so I can see the page. "It's written in Ancient Grecian. Which sadly is a language I have not had the privilege of studying up on." Freed sighed sadly and I smiled.

"It's alright Freed, if you give me a couple of days, I should actually be able to figure it all out. One of the many reasons Levy and I get along so well together is because of how easily we can pick up on languages." I giggled before pulling out a notepad and bringing a couple of the books over to the other side of the table to start translating and working on dialects.

We worked in complete silence for a few more hours until we heard the door open to the room we were working in. I heard a low whistle when I looked up and saw Bickslow walking into the room with a bag of who knows what. "This definitely looks like a nerds room." He laughed and let his tongue roll out before continuing into the room to set the bag down on the table. "Bossman thought we should make sure you guys actually eat something while you guys are studying. Find anything yet though?"

I looked back down at my notes for translating and sighed then looked over at Freed who gladly took the initiative to explain what's happening. "Miss Lucy had one of her spirits bring out more information so while I'm studying with the books the library had to offer, she is working on translating and ancient language neither of us had studied."

I heard the gasp from Bickslow and looked up to see him with a small smirk before I continued on with my translating and listening to them speak. "You mean to tell me, out of all the dead languages you both studied up on before we left for this mission. There is one language that's needed for this mission that neither of you had studied?"

I peeked up to see Freed nodding with a sad expression on his face and I decided to speak up. "It couldn't be helped Freed. Neither of us knew that this language would be the one we would need to know. It also doesn't help that neither of us could understand it." I then look over at Bickslow and ask "So what's in the bag Bixy?"

I watched as he grinned and pulled out a couple of containers. "Bossman said that this was your favorite. And he got Freed his favorite as well." He passed one of the containers over to the rune mage then another to me before pulling one out for himself as he took a seat in the chair. "There's also drinks for you guys too. Cosplayer has the strawberry milkshake and Freed your Earl Grey tea with two things of sugar and a little bit of creamer."

I smiled brightly as I looked down into the container of food Bix had brought for me. 'I cant believe Laxus actually remembered what my favorite food was.' I grabbed a plastic fork from the bag and took a bite out of the creamy fettuccine noodles and moaned softly at the taste. "This tastes heavenly." I smile brightly and look over at Bix to see him staring at me. "What?"

"If I had known that's all it takes to get you sounding like that Cosplayer, I would have been bringing food to you a long time ago." Bickslow laughed and I'm almost positive my face was the same shade as Erza's hair. Which then led to him laughing harder and clutching his sides. I look over at Freed to see him in the same state as me only he's trying to cover his laugh by coughing.

"So not funny Bix." I look away from him and take another bite out of my food and suppress the moan that almost escapes my mouth. I look back at my notes and go back to looking through one of the books while continuing to listen to the conversation between my other teammates.

"So what language did you guys not study up on that we need here?" I heard Bix ask Freed as I found a clue in helping to translate everything.

"Ancient Grecian." I heard choking and I looked up worriedly to see Bickslow now choking on his food and I stood up quickly to walk over to him and pat him on the back softly and ask if he's okay. He nods slowly and looks back up at us. "Are you sure Freed?"

"Is that even a question Bickslow? Would you like to take a look and try to figure all of this out yourself?" I'd never heard Freed make such a snarky comment before and I couldn't help the giggle that escaped from me as I watched.

"Can I take a quick look? Because if it really is Ancient Grecian, I could easily call Kaleb or even Farron since I know they've studied that language already." I gasped and pouted softly thinking about having to give up my precious studying time. "Don't give me that look Cosplayer." Bickslow sighed and looked up at me. "We need to figure out this mission and the riddles that come with it. And if you want we can ask the head librarian dude if he can keep this room locked up so that you can continue your studying of the language when we finish this mission."

I sighed and nodded slowly. "Alright Bixy." I go and grab one of my books and bring it back over to him so he can take a look at the pages. "So can you confirm that it is Ancient Grecian?" I ask softly.

He nods his head slowly and I watch as his face scrunches up as if he's having another conversation we can't hear. "It's definitely Ancient Grecian. And I just contacted Kaleb and Farron to see if either of them can pop in to help us with translating for you."

I nod slowly before what he said caught up with my brain. "Wait, what? How did you already contact him when you only just now found out?"

"Because I'm a Mindbender mage and I have a personal link with the entire family set up for in case of emergencies." I look up from staring at Bickslow only to have my entire brain shut down as I stare at the beautiful Adonis standing in front of me. "Thank you Thane. Could you return back to the Sea and make sure everything else gets completed?" I watch as the other man simply nods and disappears.

I'm sure my mouth is hanging open and I'm staring as the man walks over towards us and Bickslow stands up to hug the man. "Kaleb! It's so good to see you bro! Thanks for coming all the way here to help with this. I know you can get pretty busy."

"No problem Bickslow." The man now known as Kaleb chuckled.

'Holy mother of Mavis please tell me I am not dreaming right now.' I stood still just watching the entire exchange before the mans head turned towards me and smiled.

"I can assure you that you are not dreaming and that I am in fact here. And not promised if you are interested in sharing pleasure later." He winked at me right before the world went black.

"Nice going bro, I think you broke our celestial mage." I looked over to my brother and laughed as I saw him staring at the blonde who was now in Freed's arms. The rune mage in question was struggling to place the blonde down. "Here Freed, let me lay her down for ya. Just clear that end of the table so we can lay her down somewhere that isn't the floor."

Freed nodded before handing Lucy over to me before going to the end of the table that wasn't in complete use to clear it off. "So this is your celestial mage?" I looked over to see Kaleb still staring intently at Lucy and I instinctively held her closer to me. "She's beautiful Bix, I don't understand why she would have fainted though."

I sighed before looking at my brother "Kaleb, meet Lucy Heartfilia. She's like Freed. Ran away from the high class aristocracy to be a mage. I don't know much else about her background, but she only recently found out that I'm from Bosco. So be careful with how you word certain things in front of her.

I laid the blonde down on the table and walked back over to where she was working before I had walked in with dinner. "This was where she was working on translating before I walked in and found out what language she was working on with Freed. Care to help us out until she wakes up?"

I look up from Lucy's notes to see Kaleb nodding and walking over. We look back down at the notes and I hear Kaleb hum in affirmation. "She did one hell of an amazing job with translating what she does have done. How long have you guys been working on this?" I watched as my brother looked over at Freed.

"We have been working on this mission for about six hours. However, we found out about needing these translations about two and a half hours ago. Miss Lucy has been working on the translations ever since then." Freed spoke up before walking back towards where his food was to take another bite and sigh. "We have yet to figure out where the Temple is actually located though."

"What exactly is this mission that you all are working on?" Kaleb asked curiously while still looking down at Lucy's notes.

'Are you just being polite and staying out of our heads? Or are you focused on Cosplayer and her notes?' I asked while looking over at my brother and saw him nodding.

'She's officially caught my attention Bix. She really got all of this done in only two and a half hours? I don't think even Farron would have gotten this much done in that time!' Kaleb replied back to me when Freed spoke up.

"We were asked by the head librarian here to find the Temple of Athena and to gather some books for them to be translated. We were also warned to be careful due to there possibly being curses placed here and there as well as booby traps within the temple. But as I stated before, we have yet to even find the location of the Temple. I believe Miss Lucy was onto something though before Bickslow showed up with a necessary distraction for us." As if to state the inconvenience we heard Freed's stomach growl and then saw the slight blush show up on his cheeks. "I'm going to finish my food now. Thank you again Bickslow."

I heard a soft groan come from the other end of the table and I walked back over to where I had laid Lucy down and chuckled. "Hey there Cosplayer. You all good now or do you need to lay there for another minute or two?"

'Maybe give her a minute she's trying to process everything. Her thoughts when she first wakes up are hilarious though. She's making a mental checklist of everything that she's had to do today and-' I heard my brother gasp and I look over to him to see him with an extremely surprised look on his face. 'Last thought I heard from her was how she remembered I was a mindbender mage and then I couldn't hear anything from her afterwards.'

I chuckled and looked back down at Lucy with a smile. 'Not too surprised there, she's been hanging out with Cobra a lot more recently and probably started learning how to do mental blocks to help him when he's around her.'

"Stay out of my head please. I can tell you're trying to push through." Lucy spoke up from her place on the table. "Thank you Bixy for laying me down. I think I'm going to finish my dinner now though and then get back to work on translating." She looked over at Kaleb and pouted "Unless you've already ruined my fun?"

I laughed. I couldn't hold it in and I laughed so hard. I laughed at the pout she was giving my brother. I laughed at the look on my brothers face. And I laughed because Freed choked and coughed trying to hold back his own laugh.

"I'll say it again, Kaleb, meet Lucy Heartfila. Cosplayer, say hello to my older brother Kaleb Pradesh." I managed to get out between laughs.
