Chapter 5: Training

Lucy's POV

We spent a few minutes walking as far into the forest as possible so we don't run any risks of hurting anyone. I'm exited to start training but also kind of nervous because Laxus said that he wouldn't go easy on me.

"Come on Lucy. We'll start with some running. We'll be running for two hours non-stop." Laxus said.

Did he just say to run for two hours? I must be hearing things. "Excuse me Laxus, did you say that we will run for two hourse straight?"

"Yes I did Lucy." "Are you crazy, I can't run that long without stopping. I'll end up dying by the end of it!" I said, no more like screamed at Laxus.

"Don't complain Lucy. This is so that your stamina increases and you don't get tired so easily. I told you I wasn't going to go easy on you. Now let's go!" Laxus said looking at me straight in the eyes. I suddenly started heating up, and just stared back into his orange eyes with my brown ones. Why am I heating up so much. Snap out of it Lucy. It's time to get training. "Fine, let's go Laxus"

For trained until sundown, which at that time, I was completely exhausted. Somehow, I was able to do all that Laxus asked to do and I felt proud of myself. I actually think that this training won't be so hard. After running, Laxus had me climb trees for a long time, over and over again, then he made me run around while at the same time making me carry a boulder. He then made me try and spar with him, but he would only defend himself, while giving me some tips about how to improve my strength.

We were just sitting resting when Laxus spoke up, "Lucy, I'll be back in a bit. I need to go get some stuff from town. Just stay here and be careful." "Alright Laxus, don't take too long."

About a half hour passed before some guys walked up to me and started messing with me. "Hey there miss. How about joining us and spending a good time with us." "Get lost creeps." These guys are getting annoying. "Come on, don't be like that" They started cornering me and pushing me toward a tree when I decided to teach these guys a lesson. "Open gate of the lion, loki!" A few seconds passed and nothing happened. "Loki? Why aren't you coming? What's going on?" I was very confused as to why Loki didn't appear. "Did you think you were the only mage here. We know how to use magic as well, and we cast a spell to cancel your magic while you are here." "Damn you! Get away don't touch me!" They were beginning to touch me when an explosion caused them to jump back.

A mature looking woman wearing the same type of robe like Zeus but arranged for women showed up out of nowhere and began to speak, "Well, well, what do we have here. What do you think you're doing to Lady Lucy. I think it's about time I punish bad people like you." Out of nowhere, the earth around the mages began to tremble and the next thing I knew, the mages were sent flying away from the forest.

'W-Who are you? What do you want?" I asked afraid that she would do something to me.

"Do not fret milady." She then knelt down in front of me and said, "my name is Gaia, I am the goddess of the Earth and Zeus's grandmother. I am here to serve you milady. I trust you met my grandson Zeus right?" "You're Zeus grandmother! You look so young. As for your question, yes I have him right here. O God of the Gods, Beckon my call, Come to my side, Zeus!"

Out of nowhere a lightning nearby and when it cleared, Zeus was standing there. "Hello there milady. I see you met my grandmother. Hello grandmother. It is nice to see you again."

"Hello Zeus. I am here to join you in serving Lady Lucy." "Of course grandmother. You are lucky Lucy, my grandmother is about as strong as me."

"Wow, amazing. Well it's a pleasure to meet you Gaia. I hope we can be good friends." I said exited to have not only a new god but also a new friend. "As do I milady. Now if you'll allow me. I, Gaia, Goddess of the Earth, hereby swear my loyalty and strength to your cause and swear upon my life that I will follow you through any and all obstacles you may face in the life of my new master, Lucy Heartfilia."

Gaia then turned into a gem that was automatically attached to my necklace. Her gem was a beautiful chocolate brown color with the picture of a rock in the center.

"Well milady, I think it's time I go. Take care." Zeus said and with a flash of lightning, he went into the gem and now that he was gone, I could finally feel the amount of magic that summoning him used, which caused me to fall down on the floor and try to rest. Out of nowhere, Laxus came back and came running. "Lucy! Are you alright? I saw a lightning strike nearby from where I left you and I got worried." Laxus asked with an evident worry in his voice.

"Don't worry Laxus, I'm alright. Some guys attacked me and canceled my magic, but a new god showed up and saved me. Turns out she is Zeus's grandmother and she looks so young for being a grandmother. Must be a difference in the way years work for gods." I said first reassuring him and then telling him about how I met a new god and made a new friend.

"Huh, a new god. Well that's good. What's her name?" Laxus asked.

"Her name is Gaia. She is the Goddess of the Earth." I said exitedly. Laxus's face then got serious all of a sudden and he said, "I swear if I even see the guys that did that to you, I will kill them." "Don't worry Laxus, Gaia gave her a good lesson for me. I doubt they will mess with us any longer."

"I'm just glad you're okay Lucy. I'm never leaving you alone anymore. You will come with me wherever I go." "Thanks Laxus, you're so nice. But I doubt that will be neccesary. I can take care of myself, especially after all this training." " I guess you're right but until the training is over, I will look after you myself."
