That night,after everybody finished packing, Wendy and I sneaked into Rogue's room. It looked similar to any boys room except for the fact of how unnaturally dark everything was. Wendy snuggled into his bed while, I opted for sitting at his desk. Originally we had come in here to check on the boys, however upon not finding them here we chose to snoop around. That plan had also backfired since Rogue would probably chast Wendy and murder me for doing that. So here we were bored out of our minds waiting for the boys to come back. After what felt like eternity Rogue walked into his room carrying two tired exceeds.
He eyed us warily then sat on his bed beside Wendy. "Rogue we have to train or else Master will be angry with us. Do you know any spots that can handle being demolished?" He tilted his head back, a habit that he took to doing when racking his brain for an answer. When he found the solution he smirked at me and informed us we would be leaving tomorrow. I trusted Rogue to take care of the preparations so I just nodded my consent and gave Wendy a good night kiss. I turned off the lights on my way out so Rogue wouldn't have to get up.
In my room I found an already passed out Sting in my bed. After Wendy had joined us we moved into a bigger house. Everybody had their own room but people rarely slept alone in this house. I pushed Sting aside a little so I could Climb in. I turned facing him allowing myself to study his features and how relaxed he looked. Without my permission my fingers started tracing the shape of his lips. I had never intended on falling in love with the stupid blonde, At first he had seemed like an annoying little brother. Then, when he learned that I was Lucy Heartfilia from Fairy Tail he comforted me from the pains still in my heart. He also soothed away the nightmares that still plagued me from my childhood. Thinking back it was plain to see that I would fall in love with the man before me. 'He probably only sees me as a sister like Rogue does.' I huffed out a defeated sigh and went to bed.
The next morning I woke up to absolute chaos. Sting was running around like a madman trying to pack, the exceeds were cooking no scratch that burning something in the kitchen, and Wendy was yelling at Rogue who obviously wasn't listening. I closed my door on the scene that awaited me outside, and got dressed for the day in my signature hoodie and jeans. After my routine was finished I had Rogue say sorry to Wendy, the exceeds help Sting pack, and I managed to salvage what was left of breakfast.
When breakfast was finished Rogue lead us on a three hour long journey that lead us to the heart of a forest. Everybody had plopped down when we arrived, too tired to even think about setting up camp. I played with the key around my neck until I had enough energy to stand. " Open the gate of the maiden, Virgo. Please set up the camp." I had to voice my command directly after summoning her or she would request punishment. I turned to the tree dragon slayers before me already forming a plan in my head on how to wipe them into shape.
"Princess, do I get punishment now?" "Virgo if you can beat Sting and Rogue I'll give you punishment." With a glint of determination in her eyes she disappeared beneath the ground. At this point the boys had already took off running in fright of the maid on a mission. Wendy eyed me with a little fear in her eyes. Chuckling I motioned for her to sit besides me. We spent the rest of the day working on her sky-dragon slayer techniques.
After I had eaten and was about to go to bed Virgo brought two bruised and tired dragon slayers back to camp. She placed them down by the fire then made her way to me. Once in front of me she turned and bent down. "Virgo you did very good here is your punishment." I ran one hand through her short hair then smacked her really hard on the disappeared back to the spirit world in a puff of pink smoke. The silence that followed was deafening. All three companions had ceased their previous activities to stare open mouthed at me. "She likes to be rewarded with punishment, it makes her more efficient." I explained. Poor Wendy her cheeks couldn't possibly get any redder. At least she wasn't like the boys who were both sporting nosebleeds. I chuckled at the sight and just continued on to my tent, finally feeling the drain of energy and magic hit me.
That's how the next month and a half went by, I would pick one dragon slayer to train and the other two would battle my spirits. On the last day of training I had all three spar with me at the same time. Wendy was the first to make a move, she went her roar my way and followed with an iron fist. Rogue and Sting had launched into a Union Raid of holy shadow roar when I had thrown Wendy aside. I braced myself for the impact not wanting the belly ache that swallowing union raids gave me. As soon as the attache hit the three used their secret dragon technique I had taught them. The trees and ground shook as the blast from the attack echoed through the forest . As the smoke cleared I picked myself up from the ground. I had been swallowing almost all of their attacks to measure the power behind them and see how much they progressed. I was very surprised to feel some of my joints ache from the hits.
I was even more surprised when Wendy ran into my arms crying while the boys followed her with tears in their eyes. I comforted all three with promises that I was completely fine. This is why I never flat out fought any of them, it always brought them great pain to try to hurt me. It was because as their Queen their instincts told them to protect me not go around doing the exact opposite. Once all the tears were gone I smiled at them,"Fairy Tail does not stand a chance if that is how ya'll faired against me." That afternoon we packed up our campsite and headed to Crocus to meet up for the Grand Magic Games. 'I will destroy you Fairy Tail for using me and showering me with false love.'
