Damuda No Shiro was peaceful. Despite the negative stories and history it has. The people there are very nice. Then again, everyone would have to be nice if that's how they were going to spend their lives together. Let's ignore that though and focus on Avaron.

Avaron means island of apples. Thus, her bright red hair was no mystery. She is a very sweet person. But all good things must come to an end. That's probably why she is also a host for Teumessian.

…

Lucy sweatdropped at the sight of Avaron dancing. Sometimes she was so happy that it made her(and the others) sick. The red haired woman wasn't doing a dance for fun though. It made her work easier. You'd think being trapped in a castle would have stopped her from doing work.

Allow me to explain. Layla Heartfilia's spell prevented Lucy from coming to Damuda No Shiro at the right time. If Layla hadn't done it, Lucy would have been there by age thirteen. There was one major problem with the spell though. The celestial wizard would have also had complete control over Teumessian at age thirteen too.

Luckily Avaron is a master at things like this. Avaron's magic is called Heart Lock. It allows the user to own spells that involve anything to do with locks. Simple and easy. The red haired wizard, Avaron uses her magic to create positive energy against Teumessian's negative type. Lucy must wear an amulet at all times so her inner fox doesn't randomly lash out.

Team Natsu approached Damuda No Shiro with caution. The request, clearly states that they didn't want another member of their village getting injured again. Whoever they were up against was dangerous. Before Erza, Wendy or Charle could step into the castle, a woman knocked them down.

"Are you insane?!" A beautiful woman with pale green hair rudely said. They didn't even hear her run; she was fast.

Before Erza could say anything that she'd regret, Gray spoke.

"Why can't we go in?" The ice wizard was preparing his magic.

The woman kneeled in front of them. "I apologize," she stood up, "My name is Chara. I'm simply worried for your wellbeing."

Erza helped Wendy up. "Why is that?"

"The legends surrounding this castle are true. Recently one of it's inhabitants have died. That means another member of the Laelaps is welcome now. If any of you are them then I wish to spare you now."

Lucy walked around the corridor on the castle's upper level. When she saw the wide window she froze. Team Natsu was talking to Chara. The blond hadn't told any of the other hosts about her past in Fairy Tail. If they exposed her...

Lucy began to sprint to her only hope. The nymphs Hoshi and Shinju. They were gifted with the power to erase memories (*ahem* chapter 1). With their help she could send Team Natsu back to Magnolia with little trouble. Then what would she say to the other hosts?

Tears were now streaming down Lucy's face. She didn't like lying to anyone. Then again it is for her friends safety...

The blond reached the main staircase just in time to see Team Natsu enter. More tears came down at the sight of her friends. She really missed them. Lucy knew it was too late now.

The halls she had grown used to in three years became a mess. She couldn't tell up from down anymore. She was having a panic attack. They started happening in year two away from home. Lucy could no longer see anything properly. Everything lost it's color.

"Sleep." Lucy knew this was the voice of Teumessian. Worry was evident in her tone.

"Lucy take a deep breath."

Someone caught the blond before she hit the ground.

"Pathetic wimps like you don't deserve my help." Lucy still couldn't see. Her breathing had evened out but she was still scared.

There was some noises before she realized someone was carrying her. At one point, Lucy was listening to two people argue.

She could barely make out a word they were saying. Soon a male figure approached them and took Lucy. One of the girls arguing turned to follow them.

Someone hit her hard and everything went black.

...

Team Natsu reached the foyer to meet two people. Chara turned and waved at them.

"For some reason they believe we are evil. Soooo~ they will stay for a month to confirm that we are safe." Chara smiled.

The shorter girl with curly purple hair waved. "Hi! I'm Parisa." She half sang.

The much taller girl with straight black hair spoke too. "My name is Maura pleased to meet you." She bowed respectfully. Parisa is only eleven and Maura, her older sister is twenty-three. (They're not actually related. I'll explain that later)

Chara's smile fell like she saw an enemy. "I'm afraid I must leave now. Maura please show them around and explain 'it' to them. Then she turned on her heel and left the foyer.

Maura led them up the stairs and to the left. They reached a small room with a fireplace and red chairs.

"Please sit."

Erza had ordered the rest of her team to remain silent. They couldn't trust these people yet.

Maura began "First off I'd like to apologize for the future behavior of my comrades. Before you call us monsters allow me to explain. Three hundred years ago the gods killed beasts. Laelaps is the giant dog destined to catch everything it chased. Teumessian is the giant fox destined to never be caught. Those two were actually in love. They were forced to follow the orders of the gods. Zeus told Laelaps to kill Teumessian. Naturally, he tried to only injure her. He convinced a demigod (One of Zeus's kids) to save her. This demigod betrayed Laelaps quickly. He was a power hungry maniac trying to get Teumessian. Zeus turned the beasts to stone and cast them into stars."

"The demigod used his magic to retrieve Teumessian's soul. Instead, she used her ability and combined with a human. The first person Teumessian or Laelaps abducts is the heart. The heart leads the group into battle. The gods and goddesses pitied us, they allow us to fight a group of demigods during the Summer solstice. No generation has won."

Wendy shot up. "But that's not fair!"

Parisa tried to enlighten the situation. "C'mon guys it's nothing we can help so let it be."

Natsu stood up. "It really isn't fair to the others. We'll stay and help you defeat them!"

Do you like? Review please! I feel like I mess something up in every chapter...

I will need your help in later chapters. The next update should be around 8:00 on thursday.

BTW The story of Teumessian is actually in Greek mythology. I will write stories based off of Greek legends. If you have one you want me to write about PM me and I might do it after this story! :D bye~
