"286... 287... 289... 290..."

I breathed heavily. One arm extended to the floor, sweat dripping down my face onto the training room floor. I was doing my daily one handed pushups, each arm doing 150.

"291... 292... 293... 294... 295..."

It's around six in the morning. I had woken up early as I do often, the usual nightmares always haunting me to the point of sleeplessness. And like always when I can't sleep, I go to my training room.

When mom died, I took over a large guess room and turned it into gym/training room. When I did not have enough room for my equipment, I emptied out the two rooms next and connected it to this one to make a larger room for me. Father never questioned what I did, or anything I ever did at all. Now I came here whenever I wasn't training with Kiara, pushing myself until I pass out from exhaustion, then only to be found by my favorite maid, Paige.

"296... 297... 298... 299... 300..."

I collapsed and rolled onto my back, staring at the blue ceiling. The training room was really big. Painted neon blue and black, with dark gray rubber mats as flooring. The first part of the room had many different kinds of exercise equipment like weights, a bench press, treadmills, dumbbells, ellipticals, leg presses, pull-up bar, punching bags, and more. The second part of the large room was empty, meant for sword training or hand to hand combat. Connected to this part of the room was a closet that held all of my weapons like swords, daggers, whips, bows and arrows, etc. The Third part of the room was filled with targets, they were along the ceiling, walls, and some swung down when you hit a button on a remote.

I got up from the floor and headed towards a table that was in the workout room. The table held a towel, a strawberry smoothie, a dock, and my Lacrima IPod. Taking the towel in one hand I wiped my face from sweat and took a drink from my smoothie. My clothes were sticky from the sweat. I was wearing a green sports bra and gray sweatpants, my black key shoved between my boobs.

Dropping the towel and drink, I took up my IPod and scrolled though my workout playlist. I picked a song and went to the closet. I strapped on a belt that held sheaths and I shoved several throwing knives in them. Picking a black quiver up with pink arrows I strapped it to my back and slung a gold bow on my back as well.

I walked to the target room and stood in the center of it. Taking out a remote from my pocket, I clicked the button and I put it back into the pocket. The music was picking up and I got into my battle stance. The music suddenly dropped and then jumped back. I threw a knife at the farthest target from me. I turned to my left and threw three knives into targets in waiting. I spun around and did a role forward. I stopped and crouched down to throw to more knives at the two targets. I jumped up and ran for the wall. Running up the wall I yanked out one of the knives I threw at the target and flipped off of it. I landed on my feet, facing the wall. I heard something unlock from behind me and felt the wind of something swinging. Taking another knife from my belt in each hand I chucked them behind me. Thunk! I did a backflip and ended back in the center of the room. I crouched down and spun with my leg gliding against the floor, as if sweeping someone legs out from under them. As I was spinning I let two other knives fly.

The music dropped down some. Reaching over my shoulder, I took my bow off of my back. With my other hand I reached back again and took a pink arrow from my quiver. Notching the arrow on the string, I drew it back. The music picked up and I let the arrow fly into a target near me. I strung arrow after arrow, each hitting a new target with a satisfying sound.

The music dropped to a slow and steady beat and I only had one arrow left in my quiver. I drew it out and took my time notching it. I looked around the room, looking for an empty target, but all had a arrow or a knife. I decided to take on a target that had an arrow in it. Bringing the bow up, I drew the string back, feeling the string lightly graze my cheek and the corner of my lips. I brought a breath of air in and held it, aiming at my prey. The music began to pick up once again rather quickly. I released the arrow. Watching it soar through the air, the arrow neared the original arrow. The tip split through the notch and spit through the shaft straight down the middle and sank into the center of the target. It was almost like a Robin Hood moment.

A toothy grin streaked across my face as the music started to pick up. The base jumped back to life and I jumped up and down, fist pumping the air, my bow hung loosely in my hand.

The song ended and I walked back into the training room towards the table. I grabbed the towel and draped it around my neck, taking out my IPod and tucking it in the waistband of my pants. Taking my strawberry smoothie, I walked towards the call box and I asked one of my butlers to clean up the training room. I shifted my attention back to the target room and went to the arrow pierced arrow and carefully took it out of the target, making sure to keep the arrows conjoined. The butler arrived with a clear long skinny box in hand. Opening it, I rested the pink arrows on the holders in the clear box and closed the lid.

"Put these with the others on the trophy wall in the weapons closet. When you are done can you clean up the target room, polish the knives, and put all the stuff back into the closet too, please?"

"Right away, Madam Heartfilia." The butler said.

"Call me Lucy." I smiled up at the older man.

"Miss Lucy," He said with an amused tone.

Smoothie in hand, I walked back to my room. Taking a quick hot shower and dressing into a forest green tank top and camouflage capris, my key tucked in my shirt. I put my damp hair in a side pony tail and tugged on my light brown combat boots on, with my black and gold pocket knife secured on the inside of my right boot. I put on my mother's belt and hooked my celestial keys on it.

I walked out of my room and headed for the kitchen for breakfast. Before I even entered, I smelled the wonderful aroma of pancakes and bacon. Striding in there I greeted the cooks with a morning and a bright smile.

"Ah! Miss Lucy! You look as beautiful as ever! Come and have breakfast, I made your favorite," one of the older male cooks said. This was Robert, my favorite chef.

Robert was Italian, so he had the Italian accent and the classic Italian look. Robert was a older man, he had smile wrinkles and gray swept backed hair. He was a wonderful cook and always told me to eat a cannoli because I was a twig.

Handing me a plate and silverware, I sat on a stool near him and ate my chocolate chip pancakes and bacon. He poured me some pink lemonade for me too. When I finished my food, I asked him, "Where is Paige?"

Paige was his wife and I hadn't seen her all day. She usually was with me when I would train, but she wasn't there this morning.

"Paige? Oh, your father asked her to send in some documents this morning. She will be back later this afternoon."

I hummed an 'ok' and turned to leave. "Imma leavin' for Kiara's. Bye!" I called to him.

"It will storm later on today, so stay indoors."

"Got it!"

Walking out of the kitchen, I went to the back door of the large manor and stepped out, closing the door behind me. I looked up to the sky and saw dark thunder clouds over head and coming in fast. I began my walk to Kiara's cave as light rain came down.

Thunder was roaring close by and the flashes of light were near. I was walking faster to Kiara as the rain intensified, messing up my dragon like senses. Better hurry otherwise Kiara will be mad that I'm out in the rain. The cold rain came down in a down pour, drenching my clothes and hair and plastering them to my skin.

I finally saw the meadow through the break in trees. Suddenly, I got a bad feeling in my stomach. My instincts told me to hurry and fast. I broke out into a run for the cave, the feeling in my gut getting heavier. I reached the large underground cave of Kiara's. I ran down the large down-sloping corridor. I lifted my hand and made a glowing star-like ball of light to light up the corridor.

Reaching the end of the hall way, a large roomed opened up. Rock was chipped away to form a dome shaped room. While the walls were rough and jagged the floor was smoothed down and littered with dry grass, making a make-shift nest. An object was in the middle of the nest but I didn't notice it, for tears were streaming down my cheeks.

"KIARA!" I screamed.

I ran out of the room and corridor, back out in the rain to the center of the meadow. I looked to the sky with failing hopping to see the winged beast soaring up there. "Kiara!" She wasn't there either. I fell to my hands and knees, sobs racking my body as the thick cold rain drenched me once again.

"Kiara..." Hurt and sorrow started to bubble up inside me. I felt a burning sensation on my chest. I reached in my shirt and pulled off mom's black key, the key burning and humming in my hand.

Getting up on my feet, I gripped the blank back key firmly in my hand. The rain poured off my body and mixed in with my tears. Thunder crackled overhead and light struck the sky angrily. I shoved my left arm out to my side with the key in hand. Golden light swelled around me and the magic pressure around me increased heavily. I began to chant sacred words that weren't my own, as if someone else spoke them.

"Oh thy King,

Lord of thy spirit,

Grant thy wish.

A wish to create thee a new solider,

A solider to thwart evil,

Bringer of a new legend among ye stars.

Allow thee to create a consolation in thy name.

If thou is worthy enough,

Bring thee.

Dragon Spirit,

Kiara, Queen of the Celestial Dragons!"

The light around me was almost blinding and the same blinding light was in a large circle in front of me. A large shape started to form in the circle in the light. First wings were formed then the body, legs, tail, and neck. The last part to be formed was the head. Large glowing slitted green eyes were formed. The figure was Kiara.

Kiara's body was exactly the same and her colors were exact, but she was translucent. The only thing that wasn't translucent was her fearsome slitted eyes, which glowed.

"Second Child Of The Great, I am the spirit of Kiara, The Queen of the Celestial Dragons. I am not the true form of Kiara but I do hold her memories. I shall answer a few of your question but not many, for you are low on magic from creating me and opening my gate." The voice of Kiara spoke in my head

I stared up in awe at the dragon. Did I just create a new spirit? And not any new spirit, but the spirit of Kiara? A new question popped up in my head and I had to ask...

"Where is the real Kiara and why did she leave me?"

"Those answers that you seek are not of my knowledge. But... what I can inform you of is that she is not gone. She resides with in you and your memories. Neither she nor I would ever leave you," the spirit said lovingly.

I subconsciously place the key in my hand near my heart, felling comfort and sadness in the Dragon Spirit's words.

"My time in this world grows short. I have something for you in my cave. They will take care of you in my stead and protect you with their life. Call upon me whenever you are in need, but until then my child, remember that I and Kiara will always love you. Good bye for now... Two..."

With that Kiara disappeared.

I looked up to the sky to find the sun shining down on the wet grass of the meadow. Looking back down at the key in my hand, I notice that it had changed shape. The once oval bow and cylinder shaft of the key was now in a form of a black Chinese Dragon with two slender wings to match. The dragon had horns adored all around its head; scales where edged on its back, while the underside was smooth. The blank black pearl was held in the dragons open toothy mouth and its tail ended with the bit attached to the side, a shooting star cut into it.

I clutched the key in my hand as I knew I was slipping out of consciousness from being drained of magic. I fell onto the floor of the meadow in a big exhausted pile of heap. Darkness took me under.

"Lucy."

"Miss Lucy, you got to wake up." I heard someone's voice, bringing me back to the land of the living.

"Miss Lucy, wake up!" The person shook my shoulder.

Slowly I peeled open my eye only to be greeted by the son. I groaned and sat up, looking at the person who woke me. It was Page. Her brown hair hung loose around her shoulders and she had a look of worry upon her face. She had on a dark cloak that hid her body, only her shoes and face to be seen.

"Are you ok?" She asked.

"I'm fine," I said as I slipped the key in my hand back to its rightful place on my neck.

"Why in the world are you out here sweetheart? And does it look like you've been crying?"

Not feeling up to talk about what happened, I told her I would tell her later. We got up to our feet and she was trying to usher me back to the manor to get cleaned up. When we got to start of the trees, I remembered something. "Wait here, I'll be right back. I jogged up to Kiara's cave and entered, traveling down till I reached the large room.

In the center of the domed room was a large make-shift nest. The nest was mostly composed of dried grass, branches and leaves. It was like a birds nest, but larger. In the center of the nest laid a large black rock with red swirls painted on it. It was practically the size of my 11 year old body.

I walked up to it and rested a hand on top of the egg. It was warm and smooth to the touch. What was weird though was that I could feel the heartbeat of the creature inside of the egg and I could feel the emotions of the creature seeping through the hard egg shell. I scrunched up my brows in wonderment. The feeling of the egg was joy.

Shaking my head out of my thoughts, I bent down to wrap the egg in my arm and picked it up. It had weight to it, but nothing I can't handle. My fingertips could just barely touch each other with the egg squashed against my chest. Peering over the egg, I began my trek back to the surface to Paige. I found her at the entrance waiting for me patiently. When I reached her, she looked at the egg then to me. "What ya got their Miss Lucy?"

"An egg, I'm going to care for it and hatch it," I said with a big grin.

Paige didn't question it any further and accepted the egg. We journeyed back to the manor together. Just me, Paige, and the egg. Little did I know the creature inside the egg was going to be my family.

Hay Dragonlings,

So sorry I haven't updated for a while. I've been super busy with concerts, sickness, fairs, school projects, and more. But today is my birthday! 17 bitches!

But any way back to the story. I was going to make two events happen in this chapter but thought it would be over crowded, so I'm splitting it up into two different smaller chapters to hurry and go onto Fairy Tail. Also instead of updating on Sundays, I will be updating on Mondays instead because I plan and write a bit of the new chapters on Mondays and Wednesday, then finish and edit the chapter on Sunday. So now I will spend all day writing up my chapters on Sunday and then edit and post them on Mondays.

I would like to thank yall's encouragement and love for my story. Please tell me if im doing thing ok and don't hold back the cirtisim :)

I would especially like to thank Circus Monster 2002 for suggesting the Circus Monster song. Thanks a bunch! If you wanna request a song please do so I love to hear it (no rap please though)
