Konnichiwa minna-san! Ogenki desuka? Let's start!
Before that...
"Speaking"
'voices inside of head'
Past/ memory
Lucy was floating into a space full of films. She views at the sight, eyeing at the films if recognize even a single sight. She saw seven... It involves Natsu, Gajeel, Laxus, Wendy, Cobra, Sting, Rogue, dragons and lacrimas. She saw their teared faces when the dragons left the first generation dragon slayers. She saw the pained face of Laxus and Cobra when the lacrima was implanted in them, too. Of course, she saw Sting's and Rogue's hurt expressions when they killed their dragons at their young age...
Looking around once again, a film ran through her head.
"What shall we do, your highness?" a black dragon asks.
"What do you think? Of course we shall teach her all our elements." Crystal, the water dragon, says.
"No, you shall not. I am fading in both worlds and she shall be the only one who can keep you all one." a familiar voice, that makes Lucy's stomach flutter, says
"My life ends at Month seventh, day fifth, year X777. You shall disappear on the seventh day of the seventh month on the same year. You shall let my child know at the right age" the queen, which was also the familiar voice, says.
The queen was sitting on her rightful place with a cloak surrounding her body and face.
"But my queen... Will we ever come back?" asked by a fiery red dragon
"I am afraid not. But I am not saying that you shall not glance at them for the last time in the sevens. There is still hope" the queen says.
Rejoice from the dragons filled the air.
Secretly, the queen smiled at them.
"Well then. If anyone disobeys the rules... We'll see." the queen says, finally removes her cloak, revealing a reflection of Lucy.
No...It was Layla Heartfilia, Lucy's mother.
Layla was smiling at them which makes the dragons smile.
The lost memory ended and Lucy just floated there, frozen.
Another two films came through Lucy. However, it didn't go through her last the first time, it stopped two meters away from Lucy. It was to show that Lucy shall pick between those two.
Follow what her body was screaming for, she went with the left.
"Hello, my dear. This is me, your mother."
Indeed, it really was Lucy's mother, she had the splitting image of Lucy, as they was, which happened to be correct.
"I am here to tell you about your Celestial Magic. Celestial Magic is something you should be proud of for it contains the half percent of the life of magic. Now, why? Why, indeed. Celestial Magic is the reason of the dragon's disappearance. It is the reason we live now. Our magic made us the royal blood of the dragons. You see, there was a legend... But I am afraid it is not my story to tell. I am here, now putting this in your blocked memories, hoping, everything will come back to you." Layla says, smiling. Then, she heard Lucy's crying voice. She gasps before looking at Lucy, like her daughter really was there, smiling. "I'm sorry. I am afraid I have to go. Just...Beware. For name and love might break you like glass. It is your must to seek further to which might shed and which shall succeed. Love or reputation."
Love? Yeah, right. Lucy doesn't believe on such foolishness. She shall not taint the name 'Vermillion'. Yes, apparently, her mother's full name was 'Layla Vermillion'. One of Mavis's younger daughters.
Yes, she used to love someone...Someone she could not point on...
Looking down, she saw her younger self running happily on a forest while laughing. Curios, the present landed on the ground to watch this little show.
"Haha! You can't catch me! You're too slow!" Little Lucy says, making left and right turns on trees.
"I can!" a boy says.
This catches Present Lucy's attention. She wondered, who is the boy who responded to her? Little Lucy passed the Present Lucy like Little Lucy was some kind of a ghost. Well, it is a memory, is it not?
A black haired boy, older than Lucy with a year it seems, with red eyes ran towards where Little Lucy passed, every left and right turns, he followed.
"I'm going to catch you!" he says, grinning.
"Find me first!"
Sniffing, the air the boy grins knowingly.
Behind a tree, Little Lucy was leaning against a tree with her left hand covering her mouth to keep herself from laughing.
The boy grinned, hearing her muffled laugh quite clearly.
He then shouted, "Lucy-chan! Where are you?"
"I'm right here, you God boy!" Little Lucy shouted
Tiptoeing, he reached Lucy's hiding place and hugged her.
Little Lucy gasped before hugging back.
Suddenly, the boy whispered, "Tag, you're 'it'."
Little Lucy pouted. "Unfair! You're a God Slayer, I'm a Dragon Slayer!"
"Well, it's not my fault you're a Dragon Slayer." the boy says.
"At least I slay dragons!" Little Lucy says.
The boy sighed, no one sure if Gods exist but they sure were sure dragons do. Everyone knows.
"With 'that'? You're so small to even slay a dragon, Lucy-chan!" the boy says.
"Mou~ You're so mean, Ryos-kun!" Little Lucy says.
Who... Who is Ryos? Is that not what Gajeel calls Rogue? Lucy wonders if so.
"Lucy..." a soft voice says. Lucy looked up to see a ball of light.
"Lucy... I'm afraid you time here is done. You need to wake up."
She looks at the light as it envelopes Lucy.
Lucy shoot up, gasped and panting.
"What...was that?" she asked...
"So that was my hidden memories..." she mumbles.
'So I assume you got your memories back?'
"Yes." Lucy answered Skiadrum.
'That's good...' hummed by Yuki.
"Not all, actually. I did get most of them. I have ninety-one percent of it." Lucy says, sighing.
'Ha! The Great Weisslogia is here so do contain your excitement!'
Lucy rolled her eyes.
"Oh great, your here." Lucy says, her voice dripping with sarcasm.
'I'm glad you appreciate my presence, Princess.'
"When will you be out of my brain so I don't sound like an insane person?" Lucy asked.
'At twelve o'clock, Princess' Skiadrum answered.
Lucy nodded, smiling.
"You guys, help me find those Dragon Keys...Or should I say... Gems?" Lucy asks, smirking.
'Yes, Hime!' Yuki chimed, happily.
Of to go to find these sort of gems, they shall reveal why dragons disappeared on 7 7, X777!
