Past, Present, No Future
by Shigure Hakuya
Lucy was greeted by the rays of the greedy sunlight. Wasn't it annoying for one who's relaxing being disturbed by a freak of nature? But then...Lucy remembered that she must practice her Celestial magic and fully advance to another.
She now did her morning rituals and went to the library, of course not forgetting to eat breakfast. She then pushed a chair to the section of Celestial magic. Many books are lined up and Lucy can't believed what she's seeing right now.
Smiling gleefully, she now choose a book named Origin of Celestial Magic. Lucy wondered what really is the root of all magic. Some say its the ancestors who recognised their potential and honed it 'till the latest generation. But some said its from the One Magic. But really, Lucy doesn't know what do this One Magic means.
Then she started reading...
Lucy yawned upon reaching her bedroom. Wow, it really took a toll in her body to read many books. But its fulfilling. One can learn many things just by reading. Also, reading improves and enhances Lucy's memory now. Just by starting from a seed, one can grow to a tree no one can grow. Leaves and fruits hanging from the branches and dancing gracefully with the wind and fully nurturing 'till death make it apart.
But then, Lucy's lately having insomnia due to over-fatigue. Her schedule was really not for a five-year-old girl. Wake up, eat, read, eat, read again, and sleep. Wasn't it hell to have a schedule like that right?
She now twisted and turned 'till she felt herself in the grip of Hypnos.
Weeks have passed since Lucy started her session for her Celestial magic. She still kept her meditation and fortune telling session at hand. But mostly, Lucy's scheduled was duly noted for her main magic.
Breathing in and out, Lucy kept a still posture while doing her meditation, solely focusing in controlling her own aura. Mainly meditation only dedicates the user for keeping one's mind and controlling its stabilities so it will not corrupt.
'Focus...'
Then she found herself inside a void space. Everything was black. But she still felt the wind hugging her and she can feel the movement of the grass. Then, a swirl of magic swell inside her. She thought that she can see gold...and rarely, green. For others, it mostly looks like she was just sleeping and keeping a serious face.
But it's entirely different.
Lucy now feel her power flowing through her veins. A feeling of the Celestial magic rushed inside her, add the fact that she quite felt a feeling of the nature. And that weirded her out.
Then Lucy can hear the buzzing of the insects around her. The flapping of the wings of the colorful butterflies. The chirps of the birds up in the air. The graceful waves of the green, green grass. The slow crawls of the worms under the ground. Lucy can feel it.
A golden aura surrounded her. Then a sudden rush of another magic dwell.
The once-golden aura turned into a nature green one. She thought at first that she's only half-awake. But this...this is entirely different.
Slowly but surely, a single drop of her sweat flow down. Down to her neck, to her arms, to her knees and at last, it reached the ground. And a miracle happened...
A green light surrounded the green garden, despite of its color. A glow surrounded Lucy as she felt herself being replenished by nature energy by the nature itself. She smiled serenely. She slowly reminisce her memories of being in Fairy Tail. Coincidentally, she remembered that one of the Team Shadow Gear have also this kind of power. But hers...it was the nature itself.
Then she named it...NATURE.
Lucy at first was reluctant at finally accepting that Nature was truly real at first and only seeing it as a dream but this...this really approves it!
She slowly reached out her tiny hand through the thorny stems of roses. She winced at the pain it caused, causing bloody red blood flow from the mild-deep scratches. Then tiny drops of blood are now on the ground. And what happened next surprised Lucy. The soil seemed to seep through the blood and it glowed forest green. Tiny forms of leaves at first. Then small buds of red roses next. And finally it bloomed!
The rose plant rose from life, wait, no PUN intended. It seemed...happy.
Lucy smiled but then it immediately disappeared when she again saw the red blood on her tiny hand. For others, just seeing a sight of blood maked them panicked, shaking and others, fainting. But for Lucy...how ironic it is. She's supposed to be shrieking in fear for now but...she's just looking calmly at the bloodied hand and slowly placed it over the leaves and it glowed green until its finally healed.
This proves it.
Layla looked at Lucy lovingly as she saw her daughter meditating in the garden. She never really thought that Lucy will act maturely and literally, like an adult. Lucy really have Layla's features but the only difference is...Lucy's eyes. At birth, Lucy's pupil are chocolate brown. And now...it has its forest green color. She's more like a nature and wild person rather than a proper lady and etiquette loving person, just like Jude Heartfilia. Her husband really doesn't approve of Lucy of being a mage.
But the blood of a magician really flow through Lucy's veins as she saw how powerful Lucy is, despite being a five-year-old girl. Maybe Lucy might be a powerful S-Class wizard if her daughter will train and train for weeks, months and years. But Layla wanted Lucy to be in the Konzern for long.
Then Layla went back to the reality as she saw her daughter slowly making a rose plant live again. Layla's eyes widen.
Wasn't Lucy only having the Celestial magic? But this...this is certainly a miracle!
That kind of magic was originated from Lucy's great, great grandmother, Flora. Great Grandma Flora was a Nature mage. Her magic makes plant grow and nurture itself by Flora's power. But in case of Lucy, Lucy is the one who gave life to the plant.
Well, her daughter was really an extraordinary one.
Jude Heartfilia wasn't happy at what was happening for now.
He looked horrified upon seeing at the sudden change of Lucy's power. At first, Jude only knows his daughter to have Celestial magic. But this...this is entirely unapprovable!
He only wanted his only daughter to be a proper lady, not this kind of...Amazon.
Well, Jude precisely cared only for the wealth and fame the Heartfilia family have, not for magic this and magic that.
And then he turned his hand to the telephone and dialled a number.
Layla wasn't really happy at what is happening to her husband.
Jude was now slowly being drowned to the waves of fame, money, power and business. And Layla was not happy at that. She slowly rose from her seat and went outside, walking the mansion's corridors gracefully. Layla entirely know the maze-like hall of the mansion so she came to her destination in time. The door showing a 'Office' there and she slowly turned the knob without knocking. For others, this action will just be a rude, bad action but for her, this was nothing.
"Jude...stop this treachery!" Layla shouted at her husband with his telephone at hand. He just looked at her and shook kis head in disapproval. No one will stop his plans and no one can nullify it.
Layla kept asking him to take back what he did and he just replied it with a glare and she broke down, running outside and going inside her room. Unknown to the two, pretty, little Lucy was at the slightly opened door, currently eavesdropping.
Months have passed since the sudden appearance of Lucy's magic happened. And also, a month have passed since Lucy finally knew what is currently happening to both of her parents.
She's now currently at the edge of her bed and she sighed. Thinking won't do anything.
Then she went to her mother's room. She knocked first. Then nothing came, so she tried again.
Until no one answered, she now barged in, only seeing a horrifying sight to see, making Lucy's tears started to appear.
To be continued...
A/N: Just edited and re-posted the Chapter 3 so this came out next. At the part where Lucy has her new magic...just...don't criticise it. Again, sorry for the wrong spielling and grammurs.
