"Whoa." We are standing outside of Fairy Tail and I have to say it is pretty impressive. We push open the front doors "Minna we're home!" Lucy proclaims as we walk in. Everyone greats Lucy and looks at me curiously. Lucy grabs my arm and pulls me over to where a tiny blue haired girl and a giant black haired man are sitting. "Levy-chan I want you to meet someone!" The blue haired girl, Levy, turns around "Lu-chan you're back!"
"Yep and I want you to meet Sophie-chan! Sophie this is Levy. Levy this is Sophronia." Levy smiles and extends her hand "Nice to meet you Sophie!" I reach to take her hand but the black haired man growls and bats my hand away. "Gajeel! Why did you do that?" Levy asks fuming. "She smells funny." He replies eyeing me.
"Why do people keep saying that?!" I wonder aloud.
"She does not Gajeel apologize right now!" Levy scolds. Gajeel just shakes his head.
"Shrimp you know you can't smell like me. She smells like that Loke guy." Levy looks a bit surprised and then smiles. "Lu you didn't tell me she was one of your spirits!" Lucy shakes her head. "She's not. That's why I came to you first do you know of anyone ever smelling like a spirit but not being one?" Levy looks perplexed but then gets a gleam in her eye. "No I haven't but I can do some research and see!"
"Okay thanks Levy-chan!" Lucy kindly replies.
"No problem!" And with that Levy grabs Gajeel and runs out of the building. As I am watching them leave Lucy taps my shoulder. "Okay it's time for you to meet everyone else now." She walks to the nearest table and stands on it. "MINNA! I have an announcement!" Everyone quiets down and she beckons to me "Come up here!" She whispers. I comply and jump on top of the table. "This is my friend Sophie and she is going to be coming around here now! I expect you to treat her like nakama got it?" A chorus of "yeahs." And "okays." And we get off the table. As I get down a red haired girl and a dark blue haired guy approach us. "Hello I am Erza Scarlet." The red haired girl states crushing my hand in her version of a handshake I smile and tell her my name. The guy comes up and shakes my hand "Hey, I'm Gray." I nod and introduce myself. We are making small talk when suddenly a cloud of gold sparkles appeared and out pops an orange haired man. "Princess! As always my heart soars just at the sight of you." He says bowing before Lucy and kissing her hand she pushes him off and laughs. "I've told you a million times Loke there is no need to call me princess." He is about to reply when he stiffens and looks at me. His eyes widen. "What in the name of the celestial king are you doing here?!" I am perplexed who is this guy and how does he know me?
"Loke you know this girl?" Lucy hopefully inquires.
"Yes princess I do though she won't remember me." He looks almost sad as he says this.
"Why won't she?" Erza asks sternly.
"Well…umm… you see she is also a celestial spirit wizard just not the same kind as Lucy. She is a kind of mix between a Celestial spirit and an Elemental magic wizard. The spirits she uses are different but she is able to call upon the same ones Princess does. But when Sophronia here was little one of her spirits, a water nymph by the name of Vela, went rogue she started spouting off this nonsense about how she was done with being a spirit and how she was going to kill all the celestial mages and then all us spirits so we would be free. She decided to start with her own master first." He hesitates and then looks directly at me "You were eight and playing outside by yourself. Vela showed up and said she had a new game she convinced you to go to the creek that's behind your house and was drowning you. Another one of your spirits, Aquila, showed up and tried to stop her; Vela wounded her and she was sent back I happened to be with Fawn before she went to you but when she came back so quickly I knew something was wrong she begged me to go and save you. So I went I fought Vela and trapped her." He stopped and started looking at his hands "I thought I was too late you were lying on the bank not moving. I picked you up and took you to the celestial world. We went straight to the infirmary and I was yelling for help someone finally came, took you and put you on a bed then asked me to leave. When the healer came out I expected the worst. She said you survived. I took you home and thought it was over. But for months after you would scream at the sight of any of us spirits. Shouting at us to go away to not hurt you. The Celestial King heard of the event and dealt with Vela. But with you he had no idea what to do you were so broken. We decided it was best to seal your memories of what happened. And that's it. " He looked at me then searching for reassurance that it was okay that what he did was right. But I didn't know how to feel. "But that doesn't explain why I smell like a spirit." He looks sheepish "Aww well that would be because to heal you umm well we kinda had to fuseyoursouldwiththatofaspiritsoyouarenowhalfcelestialspirit." I look at him.
"You what?"
"Umm we fused your soul with a spirit's essence so you are now half celestial spirit."
"Ah well nothing we can do about that now." He looks surprised.
"You're not mad?" I shake my head. He looks absolutely thrilled and leans in to give me a hug. But I instantly stop him with a nice punch to the stomach. "What was that for?" He asks wheezing slightly. "Not asking my permission to make me half celestial spirit." I say simply. Gray laughs. "I guess I kinda deserve it." I give him a look like he is the biggest idiot in the world. "Well duh. Quick question though what spirit did you fuse me with?" Loke looks anywhere but at me and mumbles something. "Come again?"
"I said the spirit you are linked to it me." Lucy looks absolutely flabbergasted but anger quickly replaces it. "YOU ARE LINKED TO HER AND NEVER TOLD ME?!" Loke just nods his head "I'm sorry hime but I couldn't tell you. The King forbade it."
"Is there anything else you are hiding?" She asks sulkily.
"No my beautiful Princess nothing." Lucy nods her head in understanding but still looks a little peeved. "So what happens next?" Gray pipes in.
"Well we will train her to use her magic. I will teach her to use our connection, Lucy will teach her to summon and I was hoping that you, Juvia, Laxus, Natsu, Wendy, Max, and Laki would help teach her all you know your respective elements. Of course you and Juvia would form a pair for water while Max and Laki would form a pair for Earth." Gray looks surprised and a bit scared at being paired up with Juvia but he agrees and goes to let everyone know what's going on. "What am I to help with Loke?" Erza butts in wanting to be useful. "Well you can teach her to fight Erza so she can protect herself until she learns to use her powers."
"I know how to fight thank you!" I yell. I am more than a little offended I did after all put him on the ground with one punch! "I am sorry Sophie but compared to Erza you are nothing but an infant." Loke says. Okay now I am just pissed what the heck does he mean an infant!? I am great at fighting! "I AM NOT AN INFANT! ERZA I CHALLENGE YOU TO A HAND TO HAND FIGHT!" I scream. Everyone stops what they are doing and stares in shock at our trio. "Very well. I accept. Let us go to the training area." I nod curtly and follow her. I stop in the doorway "Are you coming?" Loke unfreezes and runs after us… along with everyone else. What the heck? I mean it's not like she can be that good.
As I step into the training room I see Erza standing in middle of the mats. "REQUIP!" She shouts and is surrounded by a blinding sphere of color. When she steps out she is wearing loose red pants and bandages wrapped around her chest. Okay so jean shorts won't cut it. I open my bag and pull out my workout clothes. I wander over to the changing room and get dressed. When I step out I am wearing a black sports bra and long loose cream colored pants with my long hair scraped back in a long pony tail. "Are you ready?" Erza asks. I nod step in the ring and get into position.
"Okay we go until someone taps." Erza nods and starts to fly at me. I dodge and block her attacks and retaliate with a swift kick to her side. She grunts and grabs my fist as it flies towards her head. I smile and use her grip on my hand to my advantage by grabbing her arm with my other hand and flipping my body so I kick her back. As she falls I rip my hand free and jump away. Erza is back on her feet with a very scary look on her face. "Looks like I finally have a worthy opponent." I glance at the crowd. They look awestricken I don't get it. It's like she's never been beaten before. "You're pretty good too." I say as I run at her she aims her fist at my face but I jump up and wrap my legs around her before she can hit me. We hit the floor. HARD. I groan as all her weight falls on me. The last thing I see is her head hitting mine. When I wake up my first thought is did I seriously just get taken out by someone head butting me? I open my eyes and see Lucy, Grey and Erza sitting next to me. "Are you okay?" Lucy asks anxiously.
"Yeah I'm fine. How long was I out?"
"Ten minutes." Grey says. "You fight extremely well."
"Thanks Grey. But I can't believe you knocked me out with a head but Erza! It was amazing! Will you teach me? Please!" Erza smiles
"Of course it is always nice to meet someone with as much skill as you!" Lucy and Grey look a bit surprised and kind of scared. "Where in the world did you learn to fight like that!?" Lucy questions.
I shrug "When you have an older brother it is kind of necessary and when we were fighting out in public this guy asked if I had training and offered to teach me."
"That is amazing! So you have a brother?"
"Yep! His name is Drake I also have a little sister named Jasmine." Lucy looks wistful.
"What about you guys? Any family?" They all freeze and stay like that for a minute. Did I ask something wrong? Lucy eventually nods her head. "We have fairy tail. Everyone her is our nakama." Ahh I see. I nod. "So what time is it?"
Lucy glances at the wall behind me. "It is 8:30."
"Kya! What?! I really have to go my mom is going to kill me!" I grab my bag and start to run towards the door. "Wait Sophronia! Let us walk you home!"
"Sorry no time! Gotta go! See you guys tomorrow!" I reply as I sprint off into the darkness. Huh I didn't notice until now but Loke wasn't there. Wonder where he went. I shrug and pick up the pace.
So not that great of a chapter in my opinion but I kinda lost my train of thought towards the end. Nevertheless I got it up! So any constructive criticism as always is appreciated. Check you later!
