Aquarius had been floating behind Capricorn while he spoke. When he had finished speaking she made her way in front of Capricorn. "Lucy, the monster that awaits you inside contains the hatred of Zeref himself. Know your enemy and remember one thing!" Aquarius gloated.
"What is it?" Lucy asked.
"You'll never get a boyfriend if you keep stripping for trash rags." The mermaid snarled. Lucy rolled her eyes and walked towards the door.
"Let's open this door!" Lucy commanded.
"Hell if you tell me what to do," Aquarius snorted. Cancer broke his seal, Aquarius broke hers and Capricorn broke his last. Lucy exhaled as her spirits returned to their world. She put her hand on the cold knob. A shiver ran up her spine. She turned the knob, opened the door and stepped quickly inside. She saw a dark room with a lone torch and a figure chained to a chair at the back of the room.
His hand rested on his head and he was slouching. "So you came back, Layla!" the cloaked man said with much excitement "I knew you wouldn't leave me here alone forever, because being alone with myself is so so dangerous," the man cackled in a wicked way.
Lucy took ten steps before she could make out the figures face or mask to be exact.
"I'm sorry, I'm not Layla, she was my mother," Lucy apologized.
"So Layla left me alone with out a home, the home she promised me, I have been good but the mistress thinks I must be better." the man said with a dark tone behind his voice. Lucy tried to think about what home a fallen spirit might have. She couldn't think of one. They belonged to no person and could not return to the Spirit World. Lucy didn't know what to say. The man got up and broke the chain with minimal effort. "You do not know what's inside of me!"he screamed "If you did you wouldn't tease me as such," The man opened his mouth and black fog poured out. Lucy backed up onto the far wall, searching desperately for her keys. But she had likely dropped them out side. She pulled out one of the granite keys, hoping it might have some significance to the man who was preparing to attack.
The man saw the key and sucked back all the fog.
"You have the key to end my suffering!" He cried. He ran towards Lucy, who held one hand over her eyes in fear and in the other was the key, she held this straight out. The man continued to run until the key connected with his chest. Light began to pour from his mouth and eyes. He began to swell until he exploded into gold dust. The granite shell of the key fell off revealing a beautiful diamond key. The walls did the same. Lucy was in awe, until she heard a voice.
"Thank you for sending me home, call me when in need but I ask of you save "Fairy Tail's Angel" from my kin.
