DISCLAIMERI DONT OWN FAIRY TAIL HIRO MASHIMA DOES
*3 DAY LONG TRAIN RIDE LATER*
XxLUCYS POVxX
I stretched my arms as I walked off the train and I finally understood Natsu's motion sickness from being on that train for 3 whole days non stop. I had taken the train to the city of Blackthorn. It was a large city surrounded by forests so there weren't many visitors. I walked around the city which was very beautiful it was a mix of historic and modern houses and buildings. For such a small populated city it had a lot of cool attractions like the library, the museum the shopping centre and other things
I spotted a nice park and decided to take a break. I sat down on the soft grass right under a giant sakura tree. I looked around taking in the scenery, there was a river and a bunch of kids were playing by it, I got up to take a look at the old sakura tree and I noticed a sign on it. It read 'Tree of memory, to remember what was once forgotten..'
"how does some one remember what was once forgotten?" I wondered out loud.
"It is rumoured that if you ask the tree something that you have forgotten about in the past when it blooms you will find the answers... or something like that." surprised, I turn around to find a blonde girl standing right behind me. A strange feeling of nostalgia washes over me as I stare at the blonde. She had messy long blonde hair, a bit lighter than my own hair colour. She had streaks of blue In her fringe and she had pink eyes. She was wearing a blue hoodie with black denim shorts and she had navy knee length socks and black ballet flats on. She had a weird black pouch on her left thigh and over all she was shorter than me.
"Didn't your mommy tell you its wrong to stare?" she smirked as I felt my face heat up from embarrassment and I stuttered out "i-i-i d-didn't mean to stare!" I looked up waiting for a response and then she cracked up laughing.
"aha, im just joking hehe im Kuro Mizumiya and you are?" Kuro extended her hand toward me, I took it and we shook as I replied with "im Lucy Heartfilia nice to meet you." suddenly she had a serious expression.
"well Lucy.. have you seen my friend? She's a pink and gold talking cat with wings."
"No I haven't seen an exceed around here since ive just arrived in this town" I said and her face fell from hope to despair
'must be an important friend I know how Natsu wound feel if Happy disappeared.. wait, she couldn't be..'
"are you by any chance a dragon slayer?"
she raised her head with a confused look on her face "hmm yeah I use celestial dragon slaying magic how did you know?"
"just a lucky guess, why are you looking for an exceed?"
"well..."
*THE DAY BEFORE*
XxKURO POVxX
"Kuro get up or I am leaving without you!" Celeste poked me. I managed to get up and a whole new wave of nausea hit me and I was back on the ground once again. I somehow managed to crawl out of the train as Celeste swiftly flew over the top of me. Once I was on solid ground I yelled to the skies "CURSE ALL MOVING VEHICLES!" the people around me just stared and I got up and walked over to Celeste.
We had travelled to the city of Blackthorn to check out the tree of memory. My whole child hood was a blur. The earliest memory I could recall would be when I found Caeruleus but that was when I was 6. every time I tried to remember further back I would hit a wall of darkness and I would end up with a splitting headache
Celeste and I spent the whole day investigating the tree and its powers. We went from the library archives to asking the towns folk. From what we've learnt the tree only returns peoples memories when it blooms but, due to a mysterious incident it hadn't bloomed for the last 5 years and people doubt it would bloom ever again.
It began to get dark and I was getting pretty hungry but I had used all of my jewels on the train. "stupid death carriage on wheels.." I said bitterly.
"what on earth are you complaining about now Kuro?" Celeste asked as we approached the tree in question. I sat underneath and leaned my back against the bark.
'what are we supposed to do now?, we came all this way and its a bust. I wish someone knew just what to do.. hold on, why... why didn't I think of this sooner?'
I stood up and took one of the cards out of my pouch and chanted "Game of the clock tower I play thee, Julius" And my smartest spirit came out in a flash. "hello Kuro-sama how may I help you?"
"Julius why isn't this tree blooming. Im so close to my goal and I cant just give up and go home!" I sat down on the comfy grass as he grabbed his big book of stuff (I called it that since it has a really long complicated name that I can never remember) and began flipping through the pages at the speed of light until he got to the page he wanted.
He cleared his throat which he did every time after his 'searches'
"there was a dark guild that was active around 5 years ago. They performed a ritual which sealed this tree's powers and stopped it from ever blooming"
he said in his 'as-a-matter-of-a-fact' voice.
"Whaaa h-how can we break the spell?" I said dumbfounded at this fact.
"it is possible that if you find the guild members and with a bit of 'persuasion' from you they may be able to reverse the spell, but..."
"but what?"
"but the guild has been hidden for the last 2 years. There are no traces of it at all."
"Fine! I guess we'll have to look for it the hard way wont we?" at that moment Celeste piped up. "NO!"
"what?"
she then appeared in front of my face "i said no. I have kept quiet while you and Julius have been talking but I will not let you go and hunt down a dark guild all by your self! Its too dangerous"
"since when did you become my mother? I'll do what I want when I want and I don't have to listen to you" I snapped at her.
"a-are you saying that you don't need me any more?" she said sounding hurt.
"yeah sure" I said sarcastically back.
She then started crying "KURO YOU MASSIVE, COLOSOL, MORONIC IDIOT! I HATE YOU!" she then flew away towards the city.
'god, take a joke why don't you. What ever, she'll be back before tomorrow she always does'
I sent Julius back the spirit world and this time I summoned Ikki my Nikola. Celeste is always asking me why I think the weird blue snowman thingy is cute but who wouldn't? Its just so freaking cute. I laid on my back underneath the tree and looked up at the stars and fell asleep thinking of when Celeste comes back I'll apologise and we'll look for the guild together.
I awoke to the harsh morning sunlight pouring onto my face and turned to see that Celeste hadn't returned yet.
But why?
she would always be back when I woke up unless she got lost but she wouldn't because she had a great sense of direction.
What if she got kidnapped?
'Oh no no no no no! This cant be happening!'
I shot up and ran towards the town area. Most people were already awake and starting their days. I ran around asking all of them if they had seen her but they hadn't. of course they hadn't, Celeste tries to avoid people when she is angry.
'Damn why did I have to pick a fight with her?
why?
Calm down Kuro, what if she is back at the tree waiting for me and we just missed each other?
Yeah that's it! I should go and check.'
but when I arrived all I saw was some blonde chick with a suit case checking out the tree.'ill go ask her if she's seen Celeste' As I got closer to the blonde I I overheard her say "how does someone remember what is forgotten?"
I instantly replied "it is rumoured that if you ask the tree something that you have forgotten about in the past when it blooms you will find the answers... or something like that."
the blonde turned around surprised that I was there and just stared at me.
I felt myself smirk as I said "Didn't your mommy tell you its wrong to stare?" she turned bright red and stuttered "i-i-i d-didn't mean to stare!" and began to stare at me again. That was when I lost it and cracked up laughing
"aha, im just joking hehe im Kuro Mizumiya and you are?" I extended my hand toward her and we shook "im Lucy Heartfilia nice to meet you." after that I suddenly remembered about Celeste and what I came over to talk for.
"well Lucy.. have you seen my friend? She's a pink and gold talking cat with wings."
"No I haven't seen an exceed around here since ive just arrived in this town" she said and I started to feel down again 'what am I gonna do where did she go?' Lucy interrupted my train of thought with a weird question.
"are you by any chance a dragon slayer?"
I looked up and replied "hmm yeah I use celestial dragon slaying magic how did you know?"
"just a lucky guess, why are you looking for an exceed?"
"well... I had a fight with her and she ran away last night. She usually shows up in the morning but she never came back so im really worried.."
"oh is there anything I can help with?" Lucy looked at me with a worried expression 'she's a good person.'
I took a deep breath and said "well do know anything about a dark guild being here 5 years ago?"
DONE!
sorry it took so long.
please put your pitch forks and swords down!
to be fair I got addicted to supernatural so I kinda got distracted.. sorry!
