Celest's Call

Lucy POV

"And so, that's what happened. Oh and Ash Face? Your son's a real bakka" I said finishing my tale and adding an amusing but, true detail.

"Not news to me" Flame Brain mumbled rubbing the bump his mate had just made on his head. I laughed making the two male dragons stare at me. This made me roll my eyes at the two male dragons' confusion.

As I did this I remembered something "Oh yeah why did you call me here Iron Head?" I asked with a sickly sweet voice grabbing Iron Head by the hem of his shirt. I saw him shiver and I smiled a sweet smile knowing I could make the 'great' Metalicana afraid and shudder in fear, not only that but, thinking of Gajeel's face if he knew how I scared his father so. I saw him almost relax thinking I wouldn't do too much and then I smirked...then threw him through the wall.

"Now you, how about you tell me Flame Brain why I'm here" I demanded doing the ever so feminine pose where you jut out a hip and place a hand on it. As I did this pose I glared at him with an intent to kill if he didn't tell me. Now this is where I got my nickname of "Death's Angel" among the dragon realm.

I saw squinty eyes sweat bullets a he stuttered out "W-w-w-w-well t-t-t-there w-w-was s-something Celest wanted to tell you." He gained more confidence as he spoke losing the stutter. I just had to smirk at that.

"Thank you for telling me" I said in that ever so, despicable sickly sweet voice. I then punched him into Metalicana just as the Iron Head was getting up. "Thanks Iron Head for nothing!"

I walked towards the meadow of Eternal Night(Not an original name I know but, hey!). The meadow was only lit by starlight and the moon. The perfect place for the Celestial Dragon would stay. I smiled at the thought of my mentor Celest. She reminded me a lot of my birth mother.

I thought about the hill she watches the stars on. It's a pretty good for a stargazing position. Now that I was thinking so, much about Celest I wonder what she has to talk to me about... Maybe she just wants to catch up since we haven't seen each other in a month since I was training with Grandeeney so, I could heal myself and others while Celest was on one of those Dragon-missions-that-you-aren't-good-enough-to-go- on things. I was getting bored of just being in my own world so, I looked around at the other Dragon's 'territory' or whatever they call them.

I saw the Igneous Lands. An area made entirely of igneous rock with a few still active volcanoes here and there. Flame brain likes it hot!

There were also the ore mines that had iron, and assortment of other metals. That wasn't Iron Head's realm. No his was a junkyard of sorts that had every single shape and size of things all steel.

There was Fairy Hills. No not the Fairy Tail people apartment or whatever. This is Grandeeney's territory and it has REAL fairies that dance around there. It's a truly magical place there. It's nice to sit there and read with the wind blowing around you. Ahhhhh... Now I want to go! Ah well though! When Celest calls she calls and when she calls you answer the demand.

I had finally reached the meadow of eternal night my home for the first eighteen months of my stay in the dragon world. I had trained under Grandeeney, and Celest for eighteen months each except I only stayed with Flame Brain's and Iron Head's a year each and I meshed their time together so, that was for two years. Guess from which eighteen or twelve months I got my monstrous attitude from? The deadly one from Celest, the strict one from Grandine, and my barbaric, I'll kill you side from Iron Head and Flame Brain. So, trick question it was all of the five years I spent in the Dragon Realm. Oh plus my total exterior, my own pain and strength throughout those years.

I kept on walking and finally came upon the Meadow of Eternal Night'. I saw a lady with whitish silver curly hair. Her eyes were a golden amber and her skin was fair being anything but, tan. She had a white chiton sort of thing on and I almost said "What the h*** are you wearing lady!?" But, I instead said "Hi?" I facepalmed mentally at how stupid I sounded. The lady smiled at me and I realized who it was.

"CELEST!" I yelled and then I ran up to hug her. Good thing she still had her dragon strength in human form or else I probably would've knocked us into the next territory -no joke I mean it-.

"Ah hello Lucy!" Celest said hugging me back.

"I missed you" I whispered into her neck.

"I missed you too" She whispered back.

Celest's POV

My -or at least adopted- daughter's keys burned in the pocket of my chiton. I had taken Lucy's keys when we had begun training because it would hard to learn the magic we were teaching her. She obliged but was reluctant to do so and then I knew how much these keys meant to her.

I smiled into my daughter's hair. "Lucy you know why you are here right?" I asked quietly.

She pulled away and looked up at me before saying "Kind of but, it's pretty vague. 'Cause Ash Face only told me you wanted to see me after I threatened him and punched Iron Head into the wall."

I laughed. Yes my daughter was definitely a mini-me mixed with a bit of Layla Heartfilla and Grandeeney. I smiled at the thought before being brought back to reality by me daughter's voice.

"So why did you want to see me?" She asked me.

I took a deep breath and showed her her keys "I wanted to give you these." I saw her eyes light up and I smiled at her weakly "But, it also means your training is finished and you have to decide whether you want to live on earth or here."

Here beautiful chocolate brown eyes darkened and she looked at me sharply "If you live here you gain the traits of a dragon slayer and..." I wanted to stop but, I saw her raise an eyebrow and I knew she wouldn't let it go if I didn't tell her.

I sighed and mumbled "You have to get a mate..."

"WHAT!?" She shrieked I put a hand to my right ear. "Oh sorry" she whispered looking guilty while also wincing, because even though her hearing wasn't dragon slayer or dragon level she could hear better than a normal mage while having their hearing enhanced.

"Don't worry about it Lucy" I whispered back.

"But seriously?" She asked. I nodded and she groaned "This is possibly the stupidest thing I have heard of in my life." I giggled. Such a straightforward daughter...

"You could also go to earth land and stay the same" I whispered softly.

"Ugh" She groaned "Both horrible choices" she grumbled. I laughed again and smiled at her before patting her shoulder.

"Don't worry you still have three to two days to decide" I said hoping to comfort her. She blinked owlishly at me before bursting into a cackle.

"That's just can't be a coincidence!" She said "I gave the guild three days to guess my name other than Master M! Plus I was counting today!" It was my turn to blink owlishly.

"You're making them guess your name?" I asked suspiciously. I was almost certain my daughter had an ulterior motive with this.

"Yep!" Lucy replied

"Why?"

"Because..." She said smiling deviously "They're fun to toy with." I stared at her not in disgust, anger, or bewilderment more of a confused emotion but, then again not quite... I just kept on staring at her wondering where and when did she begin thinking of humans of playthings.

Lucy POV

My mother kept on looking at me as if she was searching for my soul. I know this sounds creepy but, she can actually see your soul. Since I'm in a pretty nice mood other that stupid mate or earth thing...

Well ok so, there are five main colours for five types of souls.

The first type is the basic neutral type that is coloured foresty green. They have either done nothing special in their lifetime or they are children's whos paths have not been chosen yet. That colour is usually found from new borns to one year olds.

The second type is a white mixed with silver and grey. These souls have done many good things but, are still tainted with acts of misbehaviour as a child. They can be found usually in the middle of a person's life if they have done more good than bad.

The third type is a purple with strands of white mixed in. These are souls that have done more bad than good but, are not truly evil. They would probably be petty thieves or someone who has murdered one person.

The fourth and fifth are the opposites. The fourth is a pure white. Someone who is untainted with the misbehaviours of a child even! There have been a few souls scattered across the centuries that have managed to obtain this status. The souls who have obtained this status of purity have been priests who have gained favour from Celest. Oh and my mother who was the purest human soul to have ever walked on earth. Guess I'm a disappointment huh? The fifth was just recently been discovered or turned completely to evil. Their souls are pitch black. The two have gained the status of completely and utterly evil are no other than the dark wizard Zeref and the evil dragon Achnolgia.

What's worse is that Achnolgia is a dragon and all dragons are at least supposed to be neutral to remain in the dragon realm a pure place untainted from the presence of humans. Oh well except the few souls who have been allowed to see the Dragon realm. I think I might be the second human -the first being my mother- to ever live in this realm for any period of time.

There are also other souls like the ones of monsters who are black since they were mostly created out of pure black magic. They don't really count as souls though apparently. Also celestial spirits have gold souls as they are pure and made of starlight. I asked Celest a while back why they were pure seeing as Loke had been anything but, pure. She had just laughed and said "They have pure hearts. They are made of the purest substance known to dragons, starlight. Although their actions may not always be pure they're pure at heart... I think." We laughed after that and since I still had my keys at the time we received angry thrashing from Loke's key, that had only made us laugh harder.

I was brought back to reality when I heard Celest's voice asked me something and what she asked made my heart stop and my body freeze.

She had asked "Have you been in contact w-w-w-with A-Ac-Ach-Achnolgia?" She stuttered and I saw the tears starting to well up at her mate -oops did I forget to mention the purest soul and the blackest, evilest, scummiest, I mean the darkest soul were mates?-. I could only give her a horror struck gaze.

And start playing that Piano piece from episode 32 was it?
