CHAPTER 3: Selene's Element
NORMAL/POV
Lucy and Selene waved good-bye as they head out of the guild. They walked to Lucy's apartment chattering about girl things. Both of the girls paused in front of a large building.
"I live here." Lucy pointed to the door. "Follow me."
"Okay." Selene stepped into the lobby and continued up the stairs behind Lucy.
Lucy stopped in front of her apartment door as she took out a room key from a compartment in her pouch. While unlocking her door, she pushed it open to show Selene her home. "Not bad for 70,000 jewel a month, eh?"
"Woah it's beautiful Lucy." Selene gasped as she entered the apartment.
"Oh thank god, Natsu isn't in here." Lucy stated as she pretended to wipe a sweat off of her forehead.
"Isn't Natsu the pink haired dragon slayer? And why would he be in here?"
Lucy didn't know how to explain it, so she just went the straight forward route. "Yeah and well... He has a tendency to break into my apartment. And sometimes he stays here for the night."
Selene couldn't help but chuckle. "Oh I didn't know it was like that between you two."
"I swear! It's not what you think." Lucy bursted out nervously. "He always comes here uninvited and I just deal with it."
"Okay, I believe you Lucy." Selene grinned while taking a seat onto Lucy's bed.
"So uh Lucy, what kind of magic do you use?" Selene questioned, smiling contently as she couldn't hold it in.
"Well, Selene I am a celestial wizard, so I have keys to summon spirits from another world." Lucy points to her side pouch as she grabs a key ring, revealing a bundle of keys. "See? The gold ones are from the Zodiac collection. I have ten out of the twelve spirits. There's also bronze keys. These are more common than the Zodiac keys." Lucy takes one of the bronze keys off the ring. "How about I show you one?"
Selene gave a quick nod, anticipating which spirit Lucy was going to show her.
"Open! Gate of the dog! Nicola!" Lucy chanted as a bright light surrounded her and the sound of a clock chime filled Selene's ears. Out of nowhere, a little snowman like character appeared, shaking like a little chihuahua.
"Aww! It's so cute!" complimented Selene as she giggled.
"These spirits don't take much magic energy to summon, so wizards keep their gates open as companions." Lucy explained. "This is Plue. Plue, meet Selene."
"Nice to meet you Plue." Greeted Selene looking at it next to her.
"Pun pun." Plue went, giving an adorable wave to the girl in front of it.
"Hey Selene, you want to borrow some clean clothes for the night? You can take a nice bath as well."
"That would be awesome. Thanks Lucy." Selene stood back up.
"The bathroom's that way. I'll get you some pajama's out of my closet and I'll meet you in there." Lucy pointed at a door across the room as she walked to the closet on the other side.
Selene opened the bathroom door to see a small bath tub with elegant towels folded next to the sink. Lucy followed Selene into the room holding carefully folded pajamas. She placed the clothes on the counter and gave a soft smile to Selene while walking out and closed the door.
She was grateful to have met such kind people. Selene turned the water on in the tub and looked for some soap. Once she found it, she carefully squirted some into the tub and mixed it around to make sure the soap was evenly distributed. When the water became warm, Selene stripped her clothes off and stepped into the water. She sank into the tub in relaxation and sat there reminiscing about her new friends at Fairy Tail.
'Everyone is so nice to help a stranger. They helped me get better. And tomorrow I'm going to be officially part of this amazing guild. They're all connected like family. No wonder I sensed such great magic power. It's the power of their feelings.'
After a few minutes of scrubbing in the tub, she got out and wrapped herself in a towel, drying her body as well. When she finished drying her hair, Selene looked at the white and red striped pajamas and put them on. Lucy's clothes were a bit baggy on her, but Selene didn't mind one bit. A sigh left her lips as she stared at her own dirty clothes.
Lucy was sitting at her desk reading a book as she turned around to see the girl in her pajamas. "Sorry if it's a little big, but you look cute though."
Selene smiled. "It's no big deal, you don't have to apologize. I am thankful to meet and soon be a part of such an amazing guild."
"Oh I almost forgot where you are going to sleep. I hope you don't mind sharing a bed with me." Lucy's cheeks grew a little pink.
"Oh not at all. After all, we're both girls right?" Selene cheerfully agreed growing a little pink herself.
Selene climbed into the bed followed by Lucy who closed her book. It was a little awkward, but they didn't face each other while both of their eyes grew heavy and they fell asleep.
The early morning sunlight lit through the window of Lucy's room and hit her face, waking her up along with Selene. Lucy sat up in bed and yawned, stretching her arms and legs as she normally did. Selene got out of the bed and sleepily made her way to the bathroom. Lucy got onto her legs as well and made her way to her closet. She grabbed her clothes and did her daily routine while helping Selene along the way.
After Lucy took her morning shower and dressed herself in a blue skirt and a shirt with a cross over it (Like her first outfit in the anime), she walked to the door and waited for Selene to finish catching up. Selene wore her outfit from yesterday, but she washed it earlier, so it was just a little torn up now.
"You ready to go shopping? Then later we'll grab something to eat at the guild." Lucy smiled motioning Selene to follow her.
"Yeah." Selene went after Lucy as she closed the door behind her.
As the two left the building, Lucy and Selene met up with Erza, Wendy, and Carla who stood waiting for the two.
"Hey guys." Selene waved gently at the group.
"Hello." replied Erza.
"So Lucy do you know any spots that have clothes for Selene?"
"Of course. There's a market near the guild that sells some really cute fashion items. We can go there." Lucy suggested with a grin on her face.
The group of girls made their way to the market.
"Go ahead choose anything you want." Erza encouraged, looking at Selene.
"Are you sure? I mean, I don't want to make you spend too much." Selene asked.
"It's fine. Go on and choose some new clothes." Lucy nudged.
While looking at the vast amounts of clothing, Selene picked out an outfit that she just adored. Because she was a dragon slayer, she decided to stay in the theme. Her new clothes included a white one sleeved top (just like her old one) with black ruffles, a white scale patterned skirt, black boots that went up to her knees, and a large white bow that held the side pony tail on her head.
"How do I look guys?"
"Wow Selene! You look so cute." Cheered Wendy.
"I think so too." Agreed Carla.
Both Erza and Lucy nodded while looking at Selene.
"Great! Now lets head to the guild for breakfast!" Lucy said joyfully.
Meanwhile, at the guild...
"Man, what's taking them so long?" Natsu wondered out loud.
"Why are you so worried Natsu? They said they were going clothes shopping yesterday. Don't you remember Salamander?" Gajeel replied as he sat at the bar chewing pieces of iron.
"I'm just curious to know what element she is. Aren't you wondering too?"
"Well yeah, but there's no need to worry them not being here."
"Whatever."Natsu scowled. "I'm bored."
The doors of the guild open suddenly to let all the guild members see the group of girls.
"Finally!" Natsu exclaimed. "Are you gonna show us your element now?"
"Natsu!" Erza shouted. "You idiot where are your manners! At least let her have breakfast first!"
"Jeez, sorry." Natsu muttered turning away and lying down to take a nap.
Selene walked to a table along with the rest of the girls and sat down.
Lucy called to a girl with long white hair in a brownish red dress carrying a tray. "Hey Mira! Can we order please?"
She approached the table and smiled as she pulled out a notebook. "Of course! What would you like today?"
"I'll have a slice of strawberry cake.", went the red head.
"Me and Carla will have waffles." Wendy ordered.
"Um I'll have the omlet please and Selene what do you want?" Lucy asked.
"The soup sounds good." Replied Selene.
Mira scribbled down the orders gave them all a gentle smile. "Your orders will be ready soon."
While they waited, Lucy decided it was the perfect time to introduce Selene to the rest of the guild. "Ok so let's see. You know the master and me. I guess you don't know much about everyone else." Lucy chuckled.
"Well I didn't get a proper introduction from everyone I guess." Selene said scratching her head.
"I'm Wendy and this is Carla. I'm the sky dragon slayer." Selene looked at the long blue hair girl and her cat.
"I'm Erza and I use requip magic." The red head said.
"Natsu is the pink haired fire dragon slayer. The long spikey black haired guy is Gajeel, the iron dragon slayer. The shirtless guy over there is Gray. He's an ice-make wizard..." Lucy continued to tell Selene about each Fairy Tail member as she tried to remember everyone's names.
"Food's ready!" Mira sang as she placed the plates on the table.
"Great I'm starving!" Selene boasted as she and everyone at the table ate their meals.
As she consumed her last bite, Lucy reminded the group about the Fairy Tail insignia. "Hey, when is Selene going to get her mark?"
A voice from behind interupted. "Right now actually."
The girls turned around to see Mirajane holding a stamp with the guild's insignia on it. "Where would you like the mark to go and in what color?" She asked, smiling at Selene.
Selene thought about it for a moment. She pointed to her left shoulder. "Black please." She confidently stated.
Mirajane nodded as she pressed the stamp onto Selene's shoulder. With a little bit of sparkle, the Fairy Tail insignia appeared, making Selene an official member of Fairy Tail.
"Yay! I'm so happy!" cried Selene as she jumped up and down. "Now... It's time for me to show you my element."
"Finally!" Natsu perked up as he jumped from his nap.
"But I'll need the dragon slayers to help me with my demonstration."
"Are you serious?" Wendy asked curiously.
Selene nodded. "But we'll have to go outside."
The three dragon slayers stared at each other for a second then followed her out along with the rest of the guild.
All the members stood behind Selene, waiting for her to make her move.
"Alright guys." Selene looked at the group of three. "This is what I need you to do." She pointed up. "You all are going to use your dragon roar and aim it up towards the sky."
"What the? How's that gonna show us your power?" Natsu shouted.
"Hey Salamander. Would you just shut up and do what she says. You were the one who was the most curious after all." Gajeel smirked.
"Fine." grunted Natsu as they all circled around Selene.
SKY DRAGON!
IRON DRAGON!
FIRE DRAGON!
ROAR!
The guild members awed at the three spirals fired into the sky in unison. Selene smirked as she then began to inhale all three elements through her mouth. The three dragon slayers' jaws dropped to the ground as the saw her completely consume their magic.
"Wait a second! If you consume other types of magic other than your own won't you get sick?" Lucy yelled, worrying about her friend's health.
"I probably should've told you this earlier. My element. I have mastered... ALL OF THEM." She stated as she wiped her mouth. Selene's remark froze everyone completely as she chanted.
SKY IRON FIRE DRAGON!
UNISON ROAR!
A white magic circle opened before her. She release a huge spiral of flames surrounded by air and iron into the sky. The magic could be seen miles away. Natsu felled to his knees while shocked and astonished by Selene's attack. Everyone stared with their mouths wide open and eyes huge from shock.
"H-how's that even possible?" Lucy stuttered, her eyes wide open.
As the spiral soon disappeared, Selene turned around and gave a childish smile, "Because I am from the Dragon Realm."
