I was writing an essay for school, when I got a brainwave. Instead of writing my essay, I would write a new chapter for this story! Yay! (Trust me, it was much more fun to write this chapter then an essay on history) But sadly, since I finished this chapter, back to my essay I go. Hope you enjoy this chapter!
There, standing in the giant hall was a tall and lithe woman, poised with gracefulness and sophistication as she stared serenely at Lucy and her spirits. The woman was wearing a long billowing silver gown that glowed and glittered, moving with the light as if it was dancing with it. Her hair was dark, almost midnight blue with silver streaks in it, not making her look older, but wiser. But it was her eyes that were most captivating, staring into them was like staring into endless space.
Lucy stared in awe at the beautiful woman, who radiated such power. She looked at her spirits to see their reaction, only to see them kneeling down before the woman. Lucy quickly joined them in kneeling, not wanting to offend the person who obviously held a lot of power in the Spirit World.
"Nice to finally meet you again, Dareios" the woman said with a slight accent.
"Dareios? Who's that?" pondered Lucy, before realizing in embarrassment she had said her thoughts out loud.
"Why, that's me. Did you really think my name was Celestial Spirit King? That is merely my title." replied the Spirit King in good humour.
"Well..." stuttered Lucy, with a bright red blush covering her face. She, in fact, did believe his name was Celestial Spirit King.
Noticing Lucy's embarrassment, the Spirit King chuckled to himself before saying "It matters not. The person who I wanted you to meet, Lucy, is..."
"I can introduce myself" huffed the woman, before turning to Lucy and giving her a slight smile. "I am Caelicola, and I will be your teacher and mentor. I will not only be teaching you how to gain a bigger magic capacity, but I will also be teaching you different kinds of magic, and building up your fighting skills and physical prowess, so if your magic level is either too low or cancelled out, you would be able to rely on your combat skills. So, would you agree to be my student?"
Lucy's jaw dropped. This was the moment she had been awaiting for, a chance to prove to herself and everyone else that she will get stronger, thats she's not just another pretty face. Snapping back to reality, she noticed everyone was staring at her expectantly, before suddenly realizing that she did not yet reply to Caelicola. "Yes! Oh gosh yes!"
"We will start tomorrow at dawn" replied Caelicola, inwardly smiling at Lucy's enthusiasm.
"Okay!" Lucy readily agreed, though slightly disappointed at starting so early in the morning. "Oh, and I have one question for you. What are the other types of magic I will be learning?
Caelicola decided to have a little fun. After all, it had been a long time since she had a pupil. "Why, you, my dear, will become a Celestial Dragon Slayer and a Celestial Goddess Slayer."
"Does that mean you are a Dragon slayer, and a Goddess slayer too?" gasped Lucy.
"Close, but no. I am the Celestial Dragon, as well as Goddess of this realm." said Caelicola demurely.
"You don't look like a dragon" blurted Lucy in shock.
"Of course not. This is my human form. Now this is my dragon form." and with that, Caelicola transformed into a gigantic dragon, scales forming on her body, dark blue with stars and planets shimmering in the distance. Giant gold talons grew as well as extremely sharp canines. On her head, her hair turned into a crown which had razor sharp points. Only her eyes stayed the same.
Lucy was in complete shock. "B-but you're a d-dra-dragon" she stuttered, before fainting into the ground, vaguely seeing the worried face of Virgo above her before blackness shrouded her vision.
.
"Princess wake up!"
Lucy groaned, opening her eyes slightly to see Virgo above her. "Five more minutes" she groaned again before turning over in her bed.
"Princess!"
"What, Virgo? I was having a good, but crazy dream in which I went over to the Spirit World, and I met this lady who turned out to be a Goddess, and then turned into a Dragon."
"Princess, that was not a dream!" Virgo replied in slight exasperation.
"If it was not a dream, then why am I still in my ro..." Lucy started, before fully opening her eyes, looking hazelly at her surroundings. "om? Virgo, this is not my room! Where am I?"
"You are in the palace of the Celestial Spirit King, currently residing in one of the guest rooms. What you were 'dreaming' was not a dream." Virgo said, before cutting Lucy off again, knowing the question she was about to ask. "Yes, it means that you did in fact see a real Dragon."
"But, I though all dragons left Earthland?" questioned Lucy.
"That is true that all dragons left Earthland. I, however, am not one of the Earthland dragons. I am a Dragon on the Celestial Spirt Realm. Thus, as you can see, I am here." replied Caelicola.
Lucy whipped her head around, to see Caelicola standing in the doorway. "When did you get here? Were you here the entire time?"
Caelicola waved the question away, before saying "I am not the only dragon in the Celestial Spirit World. There are others, some who disguise themselves in human form and others who prefer their Dragon form."
"Which form do you prefer?" asked Lucy.
"I prefer my Goddess form, alas, I cannot be in my Goddess form around you, because you would not be able to survive after looking at me in my Goddess form. Only other divine beings, or those belonging to the Spirit World would be able to look upon me and not turn into stardust" replied Caelicola nonchalantly.
"Turn.. into.. stardust? Just how powerful is this woman?" thought Lucy, before shivering. She did not want to get on this woman's bad side.
Caelicola turned around and headed out the door again, pausing in the hallway before saying "Lucy, remember tomorrow we will start training. I will meet you in the Giant Hall. I expect you to be there at dawn" and continued down the hallway.
A few minutes passed before Virgo also left, after some reassurance from Lucy saying she could go and no punishment was needed. Now left alone in the room, Lucy thought to herself that this was the moment she had been looking for, it was time to leave old Lucy behind, and become a newer, stronger, better person. It was time for new beginnings.
With those ending thoughts, Lucy snuggled back into bed and dozed off with pleasant dreams. One thought crossed her mind, and she bolted upright in panic. "Wait, oh no! When's dawn in a place where there is no day, there is only night time?"
