"Amira?" Lucy called, waving to the beautiful woman. Taking in her gesture, both her and the captain walked towards the excited pair.
The celestail wizard and dragon slayer stared down at the earth in the center of the village. Lucy had traced the lines surrounding the village and ended up where she was now. The lines randomly dug into the floor of the village which Lucy had noticed as strange earlier, where centered around a small circle. Inside the circle was a small star shaped symbol. In contrast to the deep lines, the star was very lightly drawn on, almost faint. The dragon slayer burned the ivy which must have crawled over the symbol. Curious as to the mysterious symbol, she had called the ship's mother over.
"What is this? Does it have something to do with the legend?" Lucy, who was bursting in over excitement, asked. Amira crouched down to the star, running her fingers over it gently, grazing the dirt dusting over the lines.
"This was the village which the star key came from." Amira nostalgically sighed, withdrawing her fingers and standing up once again. Captain James stepped forward as Amira dusted off the dirt from her knees.
"The Star key used to stand right here," James smiled, pulling Lucy by the arms until she stopped just before the small circle.
"...and the knight protector here," Amira joined, guiding the pink-haired boy to stand on the other edge of the circle.
"Wait, there's a gap in the middle of the star, it's like some kind of slot." Lucy reached down to touuch the edges of the thin rectangular slot.
"Wait." the beautiful woman hissed. Lucy reclined her hand in surprise, rising to stand again, eyes watching the woman in shock. Quickly regaining her posture, she smiled comfortingly. "I remember, it's the knight protectors sword." Lucy smiled back, relieved from her shock.
"Natsu, here." The captain stepped forward, handing Natsu a plain, golden sheeth. "Put this on your belt." As instructed, the dragon slayer attatched the sheeth to the black belt he had recieved from the pirates. Natsu felt the silk delicately glued around the strong sheeth's body as his hands ran across the fabric. Next, the large pirate pulled a breath taking blade from behind him, passing over to the dragon slayer.
As the cool metal was laid in his palms, they began to tingle. Ivory white lines coiled around the blade, engraved deep within the metal. Twirls, flicks and swirls decorated the stunning weapon. Even the golden handle fit perfectly in his hand. It was strange, the weapon felt almost weightless and Natsu spun it in his hands, exerting a fabulous show of swordsmanship.
"I never knew you knew how to handle a sword Natsu," Lucy stated with pure surprise over her face as she admired Natsu's smooth blade cutting through the air.
"I don't, It's just it feels so...Natural," the boy's mouth also open in surprise as he, too, was mesmerized by the weapons effortless gliding through the wind.
"Now..."-Amira interviened, clasping her hand around the slayers to stop him from swinging the sword- "Step into the circle."
As she commanded, the two stepped into the circle. A tingling sensation powered through their legs, running through their bodies. Amira released her hands from Natsu's leaving the sword in his hands above the slot.
"Put the sword in the slot." James commanded, as the pair began to slowly step away. They stopped at the outter edge of the village, in front of the crowd of soldiers behind them. Natsu slowly slipped the sword into the crack in the middle of the star. It slipped in smoothly, fitting perfectly into the gap. The atmosphere fell silent and tense. An anxiety filled the pair in the circle.
A weak rumble began to vibrate across the ground. Stones began to skip lightly on the floor. Slowly, it began to increase, the rumble growing louder, pebbles jumping against the dirt floor, houses shaking. Lucy's brown eyes darted to Natsu then back at her surroundings again, as did Natsu's. "Natsu, What's going on?" The celestial mage called of the loud rumbled.
"I dunno!" Natsu bellowed back, eyes spinning around him.
Suddenly, the lines began to glow with a blinding white light, starting from the edge of the circle, they filled the lines. Like an infection, it stremed down the lines. As they reached the middle circle, the light grew brighter. Finally, all the lights glowed.
A burst of air, magic and light erupted from the lines. Lucy's hair blew widly along with Natsu as magic began to explode from their body. Ivory white tatoos glowed on the stellar mages body. Tatoos matching the sword. Natsu stared at her in confusion, the celestial wizard returning the same gaze. Around them the village had been emersed in a pale light and the pirates were no longer visable. Only the two of them remained visable in the ashen glow. Brown orbs stared at the forming shapes on her body in confusion. Glancing back up to Natsu she saw similar ones appearing around his forearms.
"Natsu! Your arms!," Lucy called. Natsu lifted his arms and did the same examination as Lucy as they crawled over his body.
"Lucy you too!" he called back in a strangly excited tone. They felt amazing, a beautiful, gentle magic soaring through out their whole being. "Your eyes too!" Natsu watched as the brown leaked from her eyes replaced by a heart-stopping hazel. The power was emense, such pure magic funneling through their mind, soul and body. For such strong magic, it was strange how they felt almost as light as a feather. Bathing in the light made them feel like they had fulfilled their whole exsistance. All they wanted to do was shine.
The light began to dim, the power slowly weakening inside of them. It was coming to a end. Soon things became visable against the dying brilliance. Brown began to sponge over the silver in Lucy's eyes as the swirling tattoos began to fade from their skin. The exploding gales settles into a gentle breeze. Figures around the edge of the village came into sight, along with houses and the lush forest behind them. The pirates glared at them in awe, but the two didn't notice. Instead, their eyes just watch each others. Rapid breathes filled and escaped their lungs as their hearts thrashed against their chest. The exillerating feeling still tingled in their veins.
"Natsu, that was..." Lucy gasped.
"I know," he gave a weak grin. The celestial mage could hardly stand, her knees knocked under the weight of her body. Unfortunately, the feather-like wieghtless feeling had gone and her true weight surprised her knees. Natsu's legs trembled along with hers. The fire mage looked deep into his friends eyes. She looked surprisingly weak, especially at how amazingly strong she looked just previously. Something else in her eyes confused him. They looked almost faint. The warm headstrong personality of hers always reflected in her warm orbs. But the heart in her eyes began to fade, like she was about to faint herself.
The boy spoke to soon, the girl collapsed against the earth. "Lucy!" Natsu gasped moving towards her. As Natsu began to move, a light headedness clouded his thought and made his body sway. The slayers body dropped next to the girls. "Wh- What the hell?" he mummbled, looking down at his chest. The necklace Lucy had given him. The green blades of grass stuffed inside the black claw had turned black. A charcole black as if it had been burned. A musky, thick scent filled his nose. It weighed on his mind, causing him too slowly fade from consious too. The last thing he saw was the beautiful blond mage laid beside him, with voices blurred in the background. It was hard to make out who's voice was who's, they all seemed to merge into one fussed sound.
In the last few seconds, Natsu's warm managed to entwine his finger with Lucy's soft hand before it all went black.
Whats going to happen to Natsu and Lucy? oo!
