Chapter 6: Next in line?!
Laxus's P.O.V
I heard the demon that tried to kill Lucy say someone's name, " CELESTIA!". Hmm that must be the dragon's name...it sounds familiar somehow...celest...celestia...CELESTIAL! She must be the celestial dragon! wow good job Laxus you figured out her name and what type of dragon she is!... I smiled smugly and proceeded to climb on top of Celestia's tail until I could finally make out Lucy's sleeping figure, I suddenly quickened my pace since Lucy was just about to fall off the dragon's back. I tackled her just in time before she fell off completely and landed in the middle of nowhere, suddenly another blinding white light appeared just a couple of metres away from us. I closed my eyes so that I wouldn't go blind with all the light attacking my eyes an hugged Lucy closer to me as if to protect her from the light.
Soon we came upon grassy meadow lands that stretched farther than the eye can see, the meadow was teeming with dragons of every colour, red, white, yellow, blue...you name it! However they were not scattered in different places like I thought they would be, they all stood in rows one by one hoping to see a glimpse of...what exactly?! I carried Lucy and started running up the dragon's neck causing her to stifle a giggle. Once I reached her head I laid Lucy down carefully as if she was made out of glass though sturdy it can be easily broken, I whispered something quietly in her ears. "Oi Celestia or whatever your name is! why are they all here?!" I asked her curiously. In response the dragon grunted and replied back with a hint of annoyance to her voice,
" My name is Celestia thank you very much! you should show more respect to me boy or you'll end up served in a platter for me and the other dragons!" she roared.
" All right, all right! sheesh!"
" Anyway... all the dragons you see before you have gathered from far and wide to see their queen." this time I was really confused... who was their queen?! Seeing the confusion on my face the golden dragon sighed.
" Seriously! Why couldn't Lucy-sama have gotten a better mate?! At least one who was smarter!" she said to herself while a vein popped on my forehead, " It's Lucy you imbecile!" the dragon replied back her voice sounded frustrated while I had a disbelieving look on my face. How is this possible?! Is she really the Dragon Queen?! Well if she is then I'm proud to call her my mate! I smiled smugly proud of myself. I went back to were Lucy was and tried to wake her up but to no avail, so I just went back to my spot and started asking some more questions to pass the time.
" But how is she the Dragon Queen?! I don't get it! it just doesn't add up!" I answered back, I could see the dragon going into a state of depression as if recalling some painful distant memory. I was about to take my words back when she spoke in a hushed voice full of pain and depression, just hearing it made me cringe.
" I'd rather not talk about it...yet. It's better to say it when Lucy-sama is awake... that way I don't have to repeat it again. We came upon a big castle... It's size easily towering over Mercurius, I gawked at the sight in front of me. There was a golden crest embedded in front of the door that looked somewhat...Draconic?! And not just the door it was all over the outside of the castle. The palace was a sight that took your breath away...literally! There were 4 towers situated on each corner of the castle each in different colour. The tower on the north-west was coloured blue, that must be the element Water. On the North-East was coloured red, for Fire. The North western one was coloured green symbolising Earth and finally white symbolising Air.
The large wooden doors opened giving us entrance to the finely built castle, when we entered I immediately spotted a picture of Lucy but she was wearing a beautiful red gown with frills snaking around her waist in a beautiful pinky-purple colour. Her hair was tied up in a bun and she wore a red hair band to match with her dress and that was not all there was also a man beside her, there was also a picture of a little girl with a striking resemblance to Lucy...wait...is that Lucy!? So that must be her mother! And the man is her father!
"Why do you have a picture of Lucy and her family in here?!" I asked Celestia my curiosity growing.
" I'll explain later for now we have to get Lucy-sama healthy!" She replied in a firm voice though that depressing tone earlier was still visibly still intact. What could have caused her all this suffering?! Hmm... We went past more pictures of Lucy's mother and some of her as well though it was getting rarer and rarer and soon there were no more pictures. We came across another large wooden door with the same Draconic symbols engraved on it but there were also some rune marks. I heard Celestia chant some words under her breath and the rune marks moved across the door as if lifting an enchantment...which it probably was. The Draconic symbol stayed where it was but it shone brighter until all I could see was the light. Once it died down there was a huge glass table a few metres in front of us and around it were dragons. They must be important dragons! Before we stepped into the room Celestia whispered something to me.
"See that gold dragon over there?! You would want to train with her if your willing to...she could help you improve your lightning dragon slayer skills...after all you only obtained the power from a lacrima...do you want to know what it feels like to really be trained with real dragons?! You'll be a third generation dragon slayer though..." She questioned me playfully. She chuckled and greeted the other dragons.
" Celestia! Have you found Lucy-sama?!" A red dragon asked her.
"What do you think BAKA?! I called all the dragons all over the dragon realm for a reason you know! Sheesh put some more faith in me Igneel!" She roared back a vein visible from her forehead. The red dragon grunted back in response. Ah so that must be the dragon that Natsu was looking for!
" I was just making sure Celestia! No need to snap back at me!" Igneel roared back. Celestia just smiled and walked over to a white dragon who smiled kindly back at her. For some odd reason I thought she was smiling at me too...odd?!
" Celestia! old friend! How have you been?!" The dragon asked joyful at their reunion.
" Great Grandeeney! Anyway I need help with something." Is that the squirts dragon?! I could feel Celestia tense up.
" Sure Celestia anything for you!" She replied back.
"Can you heal Lucy-sama?!" At this all the dragons in the room looked furious all except Grandeeney. She looked deathly pale.
" CELESTIA! What have you done?! If Acnologia found out about this he'll surely kill you!" All the dragons in the room screamed furiously all except one...a metal dragon. Is that Gajeel's dragon?! It must be! Hmm...
" It's not my fault!...it's...it's..." I felt Celestia shiver. " The corrupted one"
Everyone in the room gasped even Metallicana.
"She should be locked away! Far far from Earthland and the Dragon Realm!" The golden dragon screamed at Celestia giving off sparks of lightning here and there. She must be the Lightning dragon...I should learn from her I guess... She seems powerful...
" I know! I guess when L-the previous queen died it must have weakened the seal a little bit...though its been 21 years now... She must have gathered a lot of magical power while she was trapped there... Though I thought it would have been until later until she broke out..." The dragons grew silent until Grandeeney spoke reminding us of an important fact.
" we'll take about that later! For now I need to heal Lucy-sama!" I ran to Lucy and carried her then ran back to Celestia's snout. Celestia laid us gently down on the ground and I placed Lucy in front of Grandeeney. Igneel came up to me.
" Are you Lucy-sama's mate?!" I looked up at the dragon and shrugged.
" I think so... But I don't think she will believe me... I don't think she even likes me...any more" I finally replied. The dragon laughed his voice echoing throughout the room.
" Then you need to make her fall in love with you! Simple as that!" He patted me on the back with his claw.
" Not really I screwed up...now she hates me" I glared at the ground angry at myself for my previous actions. The dragon just laughed again this time more softer.
" Listen to her boy! Listen to what she's saying..." I looked at Igneel like he was crazy but he only have me a look that clearly said. Just-try-it. So I did, I listened closely and heard her mumble a few words as Grandeeney healed her.
"L-Laxus...why...why would you say that... I don't care...anymore...just comeback...I don't want to be alone...please comeback...comeback..." My eyes widened. Lucy... I'm sorry...this is all my fault... If only I was man enough to confess...if only I thought about you for once instead of my pride...I'm sorry.
" See boy...she wants you...she might not realise you're her mate but...atleast that's better than nothing. If Natsu hadn't broken her heart then I wouldn't have approved of you two together but...seeing as how Natsu screwed up... I'll give you a chance... don't mess up like Natsu did...and remember put her first instead of anything else...even you're pride...or you might end up losing her... And if you break her heart well then the whole of the dragon realm will be after you" Igneel grinned at me showing all his sharp canines. I visibly cringed, but I was happy. After a few minutes Lucy woke up. I ran to her eagerly...too eagerly. The rest of the dragons chuckled at my actions, in their eyes they must have seen a lovesick boy running to his mate...
Her eyes fluttered open and tears sprang to her eyes at the sight of me...
"L-Lucy"
Lucy's P.O.V
Darkness...am I dead?!No...I don't want to be! Not yet! I heard voices, I recognised Laxus's voice and I immediately felt relieved. He found me! Wait shouldn't I be angry at him?! Yes...he said I was weak...he wouldn't want to date weaklings like me would he... Why is the world against me... I love my spirits as much as my life but why couldn't I have gotten a better...more stronger power?! Like Erza's for example...Requip magic...or Natsu...Dragon slayer magic...Gray... Ice-make magic... I'm just plain old Lucy...a plain old celestial mage...nothing special nor powerful just...plain and average... This might be the end...the last time I see Laxus... Ever again... Would he mourn for my death?! I guess not... He doesn't even like me... Well I guess this is good bye...Laxus.
I felt myself being picked up and soon getting laid down on the cold hard floor again. I felt massive amounts of power merging within me...I thought this was another attack and unconsciously said a few words out loud. " L-Laxus...why...why would you say that... I don't care...any more...just comeback...I don't want to be alone...please comeback...comeback..." I felt myself being reawakened and soon I was face to face with Laxus.
Tears sprang into my eyes at the mere sight of him as my stomach did enough back flips to reach all the way to the other side or Fiore. My heart almost leaped out of my ribcage, why does he make me feel like this?! It's obvious that even Natsu couldn't make me feel like this... With Laxus...I feel a million times better... He makes my heart as light as air itself...he does these unimaginable things to me... I'm also drawn to him by some mysterious force... Could I possibly be his mate?! But the books I have read on dragon slayers and their mates say that the dragon slayer and only the dragon slayer feels these things... So why am I experiencing it?! I'm so confused.
"L-Lucy" his voice made me snap back to reality. I looked into his eyes and found worry and happiness written all over it. The eyes are the windows to your soul! My tears dropped down my cheeks as I wrapped my arms around his neck and buried my head in the crook of his neck.
"L-Laxus I thought I'd never see you again! I-I missed you! Even though its only been one day! I still do! God I'm so emotional!" I chuckled and he just hugged me back tightly.
" I-I'm sorry Lucy... I chose pride over your feelings...and I shouldn't have... I thought I would never have seen you again...don't scare me like that... You nearly gave me a heart attack you know?!" He hugged me even tighter.
" This is the 3rd time you've apologised to me! I think you're getting soft!" I smiled at him he just smirked and leaned in closer.
" Well at least I know that you missed me Lucy Heartifilia...I missed you too... More than you could ever know..." If possible my smile grew even wider I was about to reply something back at him when suddenly a cough interrupted us. I looked around me for the first time and took in my surroundings. I tilted my head.
"Eh?!" I said before giving Laxus a death hug and screaming for dear life. A golden dragon as beautiful and as golden as my celestial spirit keys approached us cautiously it's scales giving off a radiant glow.
" Don't worry Lucy-sama. We will not harm you" the dragon assured me.
"Wait how do you know my name?!" I asked the beautiful dragon. It was about to reply until I interrupted it.
"Celestia?!"
*FLashback*
Lucy's P.O.V
I was crying as mama started dying on her deathbed. She took my hand in hers and smiled weakly.
" Don't cry Lucy... I'll be alright...don't you worry and keep your head up high like you always do" Mama told me
" But mama...I don't want you to go..." I cried
" Don't worry Lucy you'll see me again sometime..." She assured me he voice hoarse
" But I need you now... Who will teach me more magic?! Please mama... I don't want you to go! You will help me with my magic and who will take care of me?!" I argued more teas streaming from my face.
" When you grow up into a beautiful young girl you might meet a...dragon" mama said her voice bringing warmth and happiness as she spoke of the dragon.
" a dragon?!" I asked confused
" Yes a dragon honey. She will be as golden as your celestial spirit keys, her scales shimmer in the bright sunlight and she will teach you... Just survive while I'm gone okay Lucy?! Just remember... I love you!" She smiled at me but the usual sparkle in her eyes when she smiles was gone instead was lifeless brown orbs. Her eyes slowly closed and soon more tears cascaded down my cheeks.
"MAMA!" I cried and cried in agony, my role model and my reason to live was gone...from my life never to return again... I was lonely in the world and my dad and me never talked like we used to when mama was still alive. He isolated himself from me with the help of his work and so did I... Sometimes I felt like giving up on life... Nothing seems to be worth living anymore... But then I remembered... I had to live... To see the dragon mama was talking about... I just have to survive till then... Don't worry mama I won't let you down...
*FLASHBACK END*
The dragon nodded her head, " May I ask Lucy-sama but how do you know that?!" Celestia asked politely. I gave her and the rest of the dragons a pained smile as I felt Laxus squeeze my hands gently.
" That was was what the last thing mama said before she died... She said you could teach me..." I looked at the ground as I felt tears pool my eyes. The dragon smiled kindly at me and advanced closer.
" Well since we're on the topic of your mother lets talk about your reign" Celestia lead me to the table she laid us on it and began to speak. " You're mother believe it or not was the Queen of this realm. She had been chosen to lead us into a new era and she did... She was close to all of the dragons but more particularly us." Celestia pointed at every dragon in the room before continuing.
" she was also very close with Acnologia, the apocalypse dragon. He had taking a liking to her and helped her rule the dragons fairly and justly. It may seem hard to believe since Acnologia is a ruthless killer but he had a soft spot for Layla like the other dragons with their foster children. Though she only ruled over the dragons not the dragon slayers at first it was no big deal but soon chaos ensued, dragon slayer turned on their dragons and killed them though many dragon slayers were killed themselves. Weisslogia and Skiadrum were one if the few that were killed by their own children, Layla then had enough she banished all the dragon slayers from the dragon realm and made a seal for the portal. Peace was soon followed after the banishing but it did not last long, though I can't tell you that part. You'll have to ask Acnologia that yourself, it's a sore spot for him and he's in grief because of it anyway. Layla died and the seal for the portal was broken we dragons took the opportunity and escaped the dragon realm and caused havoc among the humans considering them as food and pests. We went on a 5 year long rampage because of your mothers death, we were gravely wounded with her dying and leaving us so suddenly. I'm sorry Lucy-sama but I can't tell you the rest, it's up to Acnologia now." I was shocked and saddened at the same time. Why did mama not tell me about this?! She ruled a realm by herself and don't tell me about it...I guess she couldn't really tell me all about it...why though?! Did she not trust me enough?!
" Anyway since your a direct descendant to Layla you are next in line to rule over the Dragon Realm. Originally if you had any siblings all of you would fight to the death to gain the kingship, or in this case the queenship. So...Lucy Heartifilia can you lead us into a new a golden age?!" Celestia asked me, she turned her head to face Laxus.
" What is your name boy?!" She asked Laxus.
" Laxus Dreyar" he replied bluntly. Celestia looked at me again.
" Do you accept Lucy Dreyar?!" I paled while my jaw touched the floor. Laxus only laughed and slid his arm around my neck.
" I like the sound of that... Lucy Dreyar... It fits perfectly..." He smiled a genuine smile... I blushed a deep scarlet and bit the bottom of my lip.
" First of all my name is Lucy Heartifilia... Not Dreyar! And second... I accept! If mama did it then of course I will!" I replied enthusiastically. It was Celestia's turn to be confused.
" Is he not your 'mate' Lucy-sama?!" She asked me innocently her smile turning into a smirk
"What!? He's not my mate! I'm not even a dragon slayer!"I argued back denying everything Celestia just said.
" Technically you are Lucy-sama, you see your mother was one. She was originally a celestial mage like yourself but we taught her dragon slayer magic as well. You cant become queen without actually being a dragon slayer. So dragon slayer magic is in your blood whether you like it or not!" She lectured me.
"Please just call me Lucy" I asked while sweat dropping.
"How about Princess?!" She asked
" Any is fine just lose the honorific" I replied.
" Aye Princess! Anyway let's get started on training! Since you already know celestial magic you get to train with me first!" I got lifted up and above Celestia's head.
"What about Laxus?!" I asked worriedly.
"Oh your mate don't worry he'll start training with Elektra!" Ja'ne Minna!" Celestia was out of there like a bullet and our into the meadows in a blink of an eye.
" Oi!How many times do I have to tell you he's not my mate! " I screamed at her causing her to giggle. The meadow was full of dragons and as soon as they saw me they bowed down.
" Stand! You don't need to bow down to me. Just treat me as you would have treated my mother!" I said cheerfully. The dragons roared in pleasure and soon dispersed. First me and Celestia started training by battling each other, I summoned two of my best spirits Aquarius and Scorpio.
" Aquarius! Scorpio! Unison raid!" I ordered them
" we are!" Scorpio replied while doing the his usual sign
" don't order me around!" Aquarius screamed at me but nonetheless did the attack. It hit Celestia perfectly causing a small sandstorm.
" Don't call us again Lucy! Me and Scorpio are on a date! Because he's my boyfriend! Boyfriend!" She repeated
" I know! you don't need to say it twice!" I yelled back at her clearly annoyed as both the spirits vanished in a golden light. The sand cleared and revealed Celestia still standing,
" You need to control and gain dominance over your spirits Lucy! You need more training than I thought!" Celestia sweat dropped.
" What's that supposed to mean?!" I screamed at her annoyed and a vein visible on my forehead.
Laxus's P.O.V
"What about Laxus?!" Lucy asked the dragon worriedly.
"Oh your mate don't worry he'll start training with Elektra!" Ja'ne Minna!" Celestia replied and bounded off in a matter of seconds. The door was closing and I was about to run out of the room before the door sealed shut but the group of remaining dragons surrounded me.
" I approve " all the dragons said one by one. I sweat dropped.
" Eh?! "
" We all approve of you being Lucy's mate. Though you are not officially our King yet until you mark her as your mate." Metallicana said. I blushed at his comment and awkwardly coughed.
" um yeah so what do I do till Lucy gets back?!" I asked all of them.
" What element do you use?!" The golden dragon asked me curiosity evident on her facial features.
" I had a lightning dragon lacrima implanted in me when I was a kid so lightning" I replied to the majestic beast. She grinned.
" Well then you'll be training with me kid!" She roared her excitement no longer contained.
" Wait a minute Elektra! He does get to train with you but he can also choose another element to fuse with lightning!" I was really confused now. Igneel turned to me and brightened up after seeing my confused face.
" You see Laxus, as much as I hate to say this dragons are selfish beings as well as majestic and beautiful. They are possessive of anything belonging to them including their own adopted child. Dragons don't like to share anything that is theirs so that is why ordinary dragon slayers only have 1 element but you will learn another one. Naturally the adopted child learns how to fuse with another element by himself if he gets taught another element from someone but it takes years for the lone dragon slayer to fully master. We have been watching our children for many years through this crystal lacrima and I saw that Natsu had launched an attack on one of his members in a 1-on-1 battle. It was a fusion of Lightning dragon slayer magic and Fire dragon slayer magic, it was powerful but he couldn't control it and he ended up using all of his energy. It will take many years for him to master but, you should be able to learn it within 3 years!" He grinned cheerfully.
"But I'm confused why would you just watch Natsu and the others instead of just opening the portal and talking to them yourself?! They have been looking everywhere for you!" I pointed out. The dragons immediately saddened.
" The Dragon King ordered all of us to never make any contact with our children or even step foot in EarthLand." Igneel said
" Wait?! I thought I was going to be the Dragon king?! " I was growing more and more confused by the minute.
" You are but before we found Lucy we needed a king or queen to rule the Dragon Realm. The dragons scattered everywhere around the dragon realm met in front of the castle and one by one prepared to battle each other for the kinship or queenship. Acnologia had declared himself the dragon king many many years ago and he did rule the dragon realm that is until the Heartifilia family took over. All of us had no intention of fighting since we believed no one could take Layla's spot on the throne. But Acnologia decided to compete proving everyone that he is truly the dragon king. So Acnologia won and took the kingship and ordered all the dragons not to step foot on EarthLand or contact our children." Grandeeney replied still bubbly and cheerful as usual. Though it had a hint of sadness to it. I nodded showing I was following so far.
" Anyway which other element do you want to fuse with?!" Metallicana asked me. I thought about it and suddenly a bright light bulb flashed above my head.
" Water " I said simply. It was really effective especially if you want to paralyse your opponent! It's a really powerful combination! All the dragons had a look of impression on their faces.
" I didn't think you were this smart Laxus!" Igneel said as he patted me on the back again. I glared at him.
" What's that supposed to mean?!" I asked him angrily. All the dragons laughed.
" Well it seems you'll be training with me and Aqua!" Elektra said though it seemed a bit...dull. " I warn you though, don't get too close when me and Aqua when we fight." I nodded heeding the warning.
"Well then let's get started!" Elektra picked me up and dropped me on her back we sped out of there as fast as lightning itself while closely being followed by an aqua blue dragon. We stopped in a meadow not far from where Lucy was training, I was about to go to her when Aqua stopped me.
" Now now Laxus keep your head in the game you wouldn't want to look weak in front of you mate now would we?!" She explained to me while grinning. I blushed and nodded but my eyes still following Lucy's every move.
Me and Elektra stood in a battle stance. " give me everything you've got boy!" She taunted me, I gladly accepted. I launched at her and we started exchanging blows both of us grinning like a madman.
" Lightning dragons roar!" Both of us launched the same attack at the same time creating a massive explosion and thousands of little lightning sparks to fall from the sky. I looked at Lucy and found her smiling and twirling around the falling sparks. She looked angelic, her laugh, her blonde hair, her eyes! I smiled when I caught her eye. We were about to run to each other when both our dragons attacked us with their roars.
" Pay attention to your battle boy! If you hadn't been so distracted with your mate then I mightn't have won!" She laughed.
" Oi! That's not fair!" Me and Lucy both shouted when both our dragons said the same things. I laughed and so did she. This is just the beginning of our story!
5 months later.
Lucy's P.O.V
I jumped on the bed tired from all the training. There! I've just finished doing a thought projection! Finally I can get some rest! Hmm I haven't seen Laxus lately I wonder how he's been doing... I've really missed him... I sighed and rolled over on my bed. Sure we see each other in the dining room but its really awkward and we don't speak to each other that much... When can I confess to him?! With all this training I don't think I'll be able to for a long time...oh well... This is one of the sacrifices the queen needs to make... Sleep took over and this time instead of a sleep filled dream a nightmare took over. There were two figures standing in the distance a few metres in front if me, I ran over to them my legs running with inhuman speed. When I got a clear view I stood in front of them as pale as a ghost and as stiff as a rock, my knees buckled and gave way leaving me in the ground in tears.
It was Laxus and Lissana...kissing...I screamed in agony at the sight. " How many more people do you want to take away from me before your satisfied...you took Natsu...The guilds attention and my spot in the team... Now you're taking Laxus from me... Do you know how much he means to me...did you know that he was my other half?!...that if you took him away I would be as good as dead... Is that why you take him from me as well... Do you not want me to have happiness... Even for a little bit?!... Don't I deserve at least that... But you...you took away my life and soul...now it's time to repay the favour..."
I stood on the cold hard ground laughing maniacally. This is not like me...it's not like me to hold a grudge...but any sane person can go to the brink of madness in an instant...it only takes the right person or object to to do so...and I have found her...
" Rise! Inferno!" I screamed in pain. My fringe covering my eyes. A large crack appeared in the ground and a red light glowing out of it, a tall scythe appeared out of the crack its blade already stained with blood, I heard a voice in my head.
Good Lucy! You have summoned Inferno! This blade has a darkened past, it was forged down in Hell. Made from worthless souls and molten lava, it was made especially for you... It's owner used to be the Grim Reaper itself but well he...went mad with the power. But you...you're different...with this you can harness the power and bring those who are guilty to Hell and the the innocent to Heaven...
I thought about it and decided to use Inferno only in desperate measures or in life-death situations. Before I could thank the unknown voice it had disappeared. I looked at Lissana and Laxus still currently in their make-out session, I grinned darkly and licked the blood off the blade. Who says I can't have fun in my own dreams?! Without thinking I skilfully balanced the scythe between my hands and proceeded to kill Lissana but before I could even get a tiny bit if her blood to spill I immediately woke up. Talk about bad timing. Celestia and all the other dragons were surrounding me and I saw Laxus gently squeezing my left hand worriedly. I couldn't meet his eyes and I looked over to Celestia.
" um Celestia what's wrong?!" I asked.
"He visited you in your dreams didn't he?!" She replied her voice frail and shallow.
" who's he?!" Confusion swept over me like a breeze, as quickly as it had come it disappeared. " well I did hear someone's voice talking to me" they all gasped and after a few minutes knelt down on the ground while Celestia presented me...
" Inferno! " The blade glistened and responded to my call. Inferno flew out of Celestia's claws and landed safely in my hands.
" Princess you were visited by the... Blood dragon...we haven't seen him in a while and this is his gift to you... The Queen...he must have acknowledged your coming. He will soon be here... Maybe in 3 years time, to train you. Inferno is a very powerful blade and it takes every bit of your power to control him though when you work together you can destroy mass amounts of land, that dragon is too obsessed with bringing the wrong-doers to their doom and the innocent to heaven. Your mother didn't survive long enough to be trained by him though if she did she could have rid herself from her illness..." Celestia looked at me and gave a forced smile. She must really have missed my mother... I ran my hands up and down the scythe admiring its beauty. All the dragons tensed up at Celestia's next words.
" I think you're ready to see... Acnologia" I grinned. I felt happy and frightened at the same time. This was the dragon that nearly succeeded in killing the core members of Fairy Tail, but still somehow I know he won't hurt me...what a pathetic excuse... I felt Laxus grip my hand furiously.
" No! Didn't you see Celestia Acnologia nearly killed me and Lucy on Tenrou island as well as Fairy Tail! How do you know he won't attack her again?!" Laxus snapped but Celestia remained unfazed.
" Well lets just find out... It's about time Lucy knows the truth" She said too calmly making Laxus freak out even more. I restrained him and smiled assuringly.
" Don't worry Laxus I'll be fine!" I assured him and after a lot of debating whether or not I go we separated into two groups. The group I'm against is Laxus's, his group were arguing against me meeting Acnologia while mine was the complete opposite. My group consisted of only me and Celestia and Laxus's were all the other dragons they might have the numbers but I am the queen I choose what I do! By the end of the debating my team won and we flew off to Acnologia's cave.
I felt as free as a bird when we were flying up in the air though I did get a little motion sickness here and there I did learn how to cast Troia on myself and Laxus but I still haven't got the hang of it. When we landed all the dragons tensed up, Me, Celestia and Laxus were up front while the others were behind us only by a metre. When we were in front of the gigantic cave all the dragons including Laxus took a step back. His face was full of worry and anxiousness, I tiptoed up to him and whispered in his ear.
"Don't worry I'll be fine! Just trust me! I'll live to see you again!" And as fast as I could I kissed him lightly on the cheek making him blush scarlet red, as I walked away he grabbed my hand.
" J-just be careful! " he stuttered. I chuckled.
" I thought I'd never live to see the day the great and powerful Laxus Dreyar stuttered" I joked, he blushed even more and looked away. I entered the cave and immediately thousands of lights guided me deeper and deeper into the cave. I looked back and saw that Laxus and the others were as pale as a ghost. Hehehe scaredy cat! I ventured deeper and deeper until finally I ended up in the centre of the cave. " Hello?! " I cried out. Suddenly a ghastly whirlwind started to pick up, I placed my hands in front of me trying to protect my eyes from any debris. When it died down a large dark dragon appeared before me, the same dragon that nearly killed me. I took a deep breath and stepped closer to him.
" I recognise you... You were the one I nearly killed on that small little island... How's is it that you are alive?! My roar should have killed you!" He asked me, this is a good sign. From what I had heard Acnologia thinks only of humans as pests and food not worthy to talk to him.
" The first master of Fairy Tail saved us, Mavis. She used her Fairy Sphere and saved us from death " I replied calmly. " Can you tell me why you were trying to kill us?! And I am sure you saw me during the fight...didn't you recognise me as Layla's daughter?!" It was my turn to ask the questions.He chuckled. My jaw-dropped...he laughed...he actually laughed! Wow didn't see that coming!
"I guess I have to thank Mavis for that. Anyway I came to Tenroujima originally to kill Grimoire Heart, I was called by Zeref. I had to repay a favour to him so I came, when I saw you I was enraged. I thought they were insulting me for having a soft spot,Layla, so they made a fake one. So I attacked. I enjoyed toying with your guild, it was fun when it lasted. Though I was stupid, I never thought about Layla's daughter. Even though she spoke of you many times, maybe it was because I didn't want to relive those painful memories any more. Every time I saw you I saw Layla, I couldn't take it any more so I used my dragons roar and killed everyone. It only occurred to me then that you must've been Layla's daughter, I grew guilty and ashamed of myself. I flew back to the Dragon Realm and his here away from other dragons repenting, I guess it's true that I have gone soft." He turned around and I took that as a sign of goodbye but I wasn't done yet!
" Wait! I'm not done yet!" I shouted loud enough for him to hear. He turned to look at me and grunted, he sat back down again. "Who's the Corrupted One?! That everyone is so afraid of?!" Acnologia's breathing hitched.
" The corrupted One...she's my daughter "
Dun Dun DUN! lol I know I'm horrible ending it on a cliffhanger I'm just plain cruel! haha lol :D But the suspense is one of my favourite parts in a story...without it it will just be plain boring! Anyway did you like it?! I know I know I went a little too overboard I guess.. it took me a really long time to type this surprisingly...not. Basically I did half of this on the computer and half on my phone and when the other half on my phone was finished I just mailed it to myself! clever right?!
