xXJayfeatherRocksXx... Thank you for your kind words, I really appreciate them. I love the Lucy leaves stories. For some reason they always make me think... "HMM! What if!" I'd also like to thank those of you who have favored my story and are now following it. It makes me happy that there are people out there like yourselves who are enjoying my story. For a while there I was considering dropping this story, but I just couldn't. To me if just one person likes it then I want to write it just for you and now my audience is slowly growing so thank you... THANK YOU VERY MUCH! It means so much to me.
I'd like to apologize for my spelling and grammar. I've noticed some errors along the way... I'll try to improve those aspects of my story... I'll TRY! LOL
OH and one final note... I've tried and tried but I just can't seem to reduce the size of the chapters. As I read them and re-read them I want to cut stuff out but it all has some relevance to the story. Either it reinforces/clarifies something from an earlier chapter or it gives hints/builds for the future, so I will just let the story unfold as it may. COOL!
So here's the second part of yesterday's chapter... Enjoy!
Disclaimer... I do not own Fairy Tail.
Chapter 15
At Sabertooth's Training Grounds... Cont.
Morgana's POV
"I really want to believe you but that story seems way to far fetched... I-I watched them die with my own eyes... I don't know... I'm too confused," Angel said as she hung her head as a lone tear trickled down her cheek.
"Girls would you mind standing for a minutes... Thank You! Angel, Yukino please kneel in front of Emrys for a moment..." I said as I watched Lucy and Minerva rise to their feet and Angel and Yukino shrug their shoulders and move in front of Emrys, kneeling before him.
"Like this!" Yukino said as I smiled and nodded.
"Wendy dear, would you please sit in Emrys's lap for a few moments... he's going to show your sisters what you remember of your parents... Okay?" I said as she looked back up at me with trepidation. "It's alright sweety he would never harm you," I kissed her cheek and she got up and sat in Emrys's lap.
"Wendy! My dear precious girl... I've known you for so long, so I would never hurt you," Wendy smiled at him and Emrys reached out and placed a hand on Angel and Yukino's head and then lowered his head and rested it against Wendy's head. "Don't worry girls this won't take but a moment and it won't hurt at all, okay!" He said as they smiled at him.
Emrys began to glow a faint white color at first, as his mind reached out and connected with all three girls. As the seconds passed the white glow intensified and then after another moment it slowly dissipated as he smiled and released his hold on each of the girls. "Little ones... do you understand now?" He said as he grinned before being knocked over as Angel and Yukino sprang at Wendy, hugging her.
"AHHH! That's just so cute!" I squealed as I imagined I was in Emrys's position right now. All three girls were crying now as they squeezed each other.
"M-Mom! Help Me," yelled Carla who was now caught in the middle, crushed by three girls.
"STOP!" I screamed as I quickly reached over and pushed them apart and pulled Carla into my arms. "I'm so sorry my dear... are you alright!" I said as I cradled her in my arms while she trembled.
"I-I'm Fine! That was scary!" Carla said as she snuggled close to me.
"Sweety, they didn't mean to scare you, they were just happy... they now know what I said was true," I smiled and motioned for Lucy and Minerva to sit by my side. "Angel! Yukino! Do you understand now?" I said as they both looked up at me with tears in their eyes and smiled.
"Y-Yes... Wendy really is our sister. That was Mom and Dad we saw!" Angel said as she and Yukino sat up and wiped their tears.
"Yes she is... but there is more... SO MUCH MORE!" I said as I sighed and took a deep breath as Emrys and Wendy sat back up and turned towards me. "Girls I need your complete attention for a moment... I have something very important to tell you!" I said as I looked at everyone sitting around me. "Well here goes!"
"Yukino, Angel, Wendy... I'm your real mother!" I said as I sighed with relief as this has followed and haunted me for eons.
Angel sprang to her feet. Placing her hands on her hips, she glared at me and spouted... "Cut the crap Lady... I just saw my Mom and Dad die and you're not her,"
I slowly rose to my feet and stepped in front of Angel. My nose only inches from hers as I snarled, "DO... NOT... EVER... DISRESPECT ME LIKE THAT AGAIN... NOW SIT YOUR ASS DOWN AND SHUT UP!" I screamed at her as my anger fumed. I looked around and stretched out my hand and released an energy blast at the barrier around the training grounds... blowing a hole in the shield, which quickly healed itself.
Emrys jumped up and tried to calm me down... "SIT DOWN!" I roared as both Emrys and Angel fell to the ground. "That's better! We don't have time for this foolishness," I said as I stared at my children and Emrys, who all looked very frightened.
"Angel we sacrificed alot to get you out of your prison. We got you pardoned and we even sent here to be with your sisters... Do you really believe I would lie to you about being your Mother... ARE YOU THAT STUPID!? Perhaps I should put you back there... because you have one hell of a chip on your shoulder," I said as I stared her down and turned to Minerva. "Minerva! You the oldest! When I leave they are your responsibility... love them, protect them, train them and if they cause problems discipline them... Understood?" I said as she just nodded. "Good!" I said as I sat back down and tried to calm my nerves, as I heard mumbling from Minerva and Lucy. "WELL! What is it?"
"Dad is whipped," Lucy smirked as she turned to Minerva and they both burst out laughing. I shook my head in disbelief as I looked at Emrys who was turning red. I felt a smile grow across my face and I started to laugh, as well. Within moments everyone was laughing except for Angel and Emrys.
"Okay... Okay! Let's get back on track here! We only have a little time left and I still have some things to say and something to give each of you three... So no more interruptions!" I said with a deadly serious face as I glanced around at everyone who was now intently focused on me. "That's better!"
"Angel! Yukino! Wendy! I've already told Lucy and Minerva this whole story so they can fill in the blanks that I leave out..." I paused to organize my thoughts. "I'm not Human... I'm a Goddesses!" I smiled proudly and continued. "Sorry Emrys, I have to say it!"
"That's fine my dear, say what you need. I will always support you," He said as he rested his hand on my lap and smiled.
"Thank you!" I said as his words comforted me and gave me strength. "Girls! When I was very younger... I fell in love with a man, who later turned out to be the Egyptian God of the Underworld. He left me and I never saw him again. I did get one unexpected joy from my painful love... I had you three! I raised you in Mother's Palace and you grew into three very beautiful young ladies... I was so proud of you three and we were very close. We did everything together, you even followed me to the human world when I was performing my duties... I loved you three so much that it hurt when we were separated even for a moment," I smiled at them as tears fell from my eyes. Through my tear filled eyes I could see Angel's gaze had not once left me.
"I know you asked us not to speak but that feels so familiar... It reminds me of a dream I've had since I was little. I'm running down a long hallway and a beautiful woman embraces me. I always felt warm and happy whenever I had that dream," Angel said with a tear in her eye.
"See dear! You do remember me! Every morning from the moment you could walk we followed that routine. That happened everyday, even when you became an old woman and could barely move I still waited for you to come up to me and hug me good morning. That was our special routine and if I wasn't there you would be contrary all day... You were very needy!" I grinned and laughed.
"You each had you're own little quirks and it's what made you all so special. Angel was needy and craved attention... Yukino you were very independent and outgoing, always getting into trouble and Wendy you were very loyal. When you found a small dragon you nursed it back to health and you two never parted ways until you..." I sighed as Emrys motioned for me to continue. "Died!"
"Died!" Wendy said with confusion.
"Yes dear my three beautiful children, who I loved more than life itself... Died!" I said as I fought back the urge to cry. "Girls when you became adults you should have become Goddesses but for some unknown reason you never... you remained mortal. We tried everything to help you become immortal but nothing worked. No one had an answer... that was until we figured it had to be your father's unique power, the power of reincarnation. I watched my three bright beautiful daughters grow old and die," I said as my tears fell and Lucy leaned in and hugged me. Minerva came out of nowhere and wrapped her arms from behind me for support.
"Mom!" Lucy said as she held me tight, comforting me.
"We're here for you Mom... We always will be!" Minerva whispered in my ear.
"Thank you my babies... You have no idea how much that means to me!" I said as Wendy also came in for a hug and settled in my lap with Carla.
"You're my Mom! I can sense it. The moment you showed up I could sense it... my training with Grandeeney helped me sense you," Wendy said as she buried her head into my chest.
"That may be true Wendy... But you spent your first life with a dragon so that may be why you are so in tune with your senses and with dragons," I sighed a little and ran my hands through her hair and looked at Yukino who had been quiet all this time.
"Child this must seem very confusing to you but..." I said as Yukino interrupted me.
"It's a little confusing... we died! I'm confused, if we died how do you know that we are your children?" Yukino said as Angel looked on with the same confused look.
"WELL! After you three died, I was lost. My pain was too much to bare and I took it out on all those around me. I even tried to hunt down your father. Then one morning I woke up sensing your presence and ran to the hall waiting for Angel's morning hug but she never came. So I followed my senses and ended up in the human world and happened upon a house with three newborns. Although you looked different it was you three, I had no doubt of that. Those three new babies were the reincarnation of you three... my daughters. I never once left your sides. I remained invisible to everyone except for you three and as the years passed... I watched you grow up and eventually die... Again! The process repeated itself... I'd find you, watch over you and watch you die. This happened over and over..." I said as I felt the pain all over again and I cringed.
"The process seemed to change over time... The first few times you were born as triplets, then it was twins and a single birth a year later. Over time you were all born at different times until I couldn't sense you at all. That's when Emrys and I moved to Earthland to search. We found nothing and then we had Minerva and Lucy. They will tell you all about that. We never found you three... that was until Emrys found you... Yukino. That is why he gave you the Phoenix key. He knew it was you the moment he saw you," I smiled at her.
"If you knew who we were why didn't you tell us?" Angel said.
"The first time I found you all those years ago I did tell you everything... but it went really bad so I never interfered with your lives again. I just watched over and protected you three. Also it was difficult because I kept finding you three and watching you die over and over again... It was really hard to do... So do you understand why it hurt so much when you called me "lady" my heart broke. I've sacrificed my entire existence for you... my precious daughters! I was lucky to meet Emrys who has supported and loved me and you as well... he is what a real father is. Please treat his as such," I smiled as I leaned over and kissed him. "I love you my dear!"
"I do as well my dear," he said with a grin.
"It's a nice story! Is there some way to prove it," Yukino asked.
"Well yes there is... Lucy! You're staff please!" I said with a grin as Lucy held her hand on her pendant and a staff appeared. She handed it to me with a smile as Yukino jumped back.
"What's wrong child?" I asked curiously.
"Keep that away from me... I remember what it did to Minerva-san and Sting-kun," she nervously said as I tossed it to her and she caught it without even thinking of the consequences. "HUH! Nothing! BUT! I watched them get hurt... what's going on here?"
"That staff was coded to only Lucy and anyone else would be harmed if they picked it up... Lucy's new staff is coded to my family's bloodline... So anyone who has my blood running through their veins can handle it. Even though you have two human parents, your power comes from me... you still have my blood coursing through your veins... you are still my children! No amount of time or reincarnations will ever change that!" I said with a grin as I motioned for Wendy, Angel, Lucy and Minerva to touch the staff. "Girls touch it!"
As they held the staff it glowed until they all released it. "See nothing bad happened," I said as I looked at Emrys who sighed as he knew what was coming. "Please dear! Just this once!"
"Fine! You owe me big time for this!" He said as he slowly reached out and grabbed the staff. After a moment he screamed in pain and dropped it. As he rubbed his hand he turned to me and said, "Never ask me to do that again!"
"Sorry dear, it was the only way to prove what I said was true," I apologized and reached over to rub his hand. "Sorry!" I softly whispered as he smiled back at me.
"Now do you believe me... everything I said was true. You are my children!" I smiled.
"So why tell us now, if the process will just repeat itself. Why suffer through that pain again?" Angel said.
"That's easy... something has changed this time and I believe it's because of Lucy. Angel those tests that the Council did to you showed that you're not mortal anymore. I believe that you're now immortal... a Goddesses and if you are then it's very likely that Yukino and Wendy will also become Goddesses as well, once they get older,"I said as they seemed to be even more confused. "Minerva will explain it all to you."
"Do you still not believe me?" I said as I started to get a little frustrated. "Fine! Let's end this here," I said as I reached out and placed my hand on Angel's head and my hand glowed white for a moment. Then I did the same thing to Yukino and Wendy. "I just placed all of my memories of you three into you. Now there should be no doubt as to who you are and who I am," I sighed as they looked at me with puzzled looks.
"Is that still not enough... Fine!" I said as I laid Wendy and Carla down and rose to my feet and turned to Emrys. "I've had enough of this today... Let's go!"
"I'm sorry Morgana, I thought it would go better than this. We'll leave for now and give them some time to absorb what we've told them," Emrys said as he stood up. "Lucy, Minerva, I want to warn you... do not trust the Magic Council. No matter what they say or do. Do not trust them!" I said as the both looked at me with a look of confusion, but nodded. "Good!"
I pulled Minerva and Lucy in to a hug and said, "Protect them for me okay? I'm gonna miss you two so much," I said as I started to cry. I whispered to Minerva, "Minerva... will you tell them I love them very much!" She nodded and hugged me tighter, then I slowly let them go and held Emrys hand for support before I took one final look at my girls who were very quiet. As I looked down at Angel sitting on the ground I said, "Girls I'll see you again someday... Goodbye!" and we started to disappear.
"S-T-O-P! PLEASE STOP! M-Mom Please Stop! Don't Go!" Angel said as she looked up with tears streaming down her face. She quickly jumped up and flew into my arms. "I-I'M So-rr-y Ple-as do-n't go!" she said as she cried. "Don't leave me again!" she whispered in my ear.
"My precious Fea... my dear sweet child I thought you would never remember me. Angel you were the light of my life. As much as I love you're two sisters, our bond was so much greater that it hurt the most when you rejected me. I thought I would die," I whispered to her as I nearly crushed her with my hug.
"I'm sorry I was confused, but deep down I knew you were someone special the moment I saw you," she said as she rested her head on my shoulders. "Yukino, Wendy... she's really our Mother. I just know it," Angel quietly said as Yukino and Wendy quickly joined the hug.
"I'm finally holding my three beautiful daughters... Fea, Babd and Macha. I can't believe this is happening after all these years. Thank you for believing me," I said as our hug seemed to go on for an eternity before we released it.
"Mother," Yukino said with tears.
"Momma," Wendy said as well with tears running down her face.
I turned to Lucy and Minerva and said with a proud smile, "Girls, I would like you to meet your half sisters... Fea, Babd and Macha... Angel, Yukino and Wendy. Please treat them kindly!" I said with a big grin as they all introduced themselves, smiled and hugged one another. I felt so proud, I had all my girls together for the first time in my life.
"Okay! We really do need to go... but before I do, I have a few gifts. Actually it's some things that you all held dear many, many years ago," I said as I pulled my staff out from my cloak and tapped it on the ground and a small pink dragon appeared.
"Sollum!" Wendy yelled and rushed over to her friend. They hugged and laughed as if they had never been separated. I smiled!
"Yukino, It's weird but you actually ended up with the Phoenix key that we were going to give to Lucy on her birthday. It was your most treasured possession and it actually found it's way back to you. Train with Lucy and she will teach you how to get stronger and then you will be able to summon it. Don't worry... you used to summon it in the past, so I'm sure you will be able to do it again. Remember, it's very powerful... so be careful," I said as Yukino held her key close to her heart and softly said, "Thank You!"
"Angel! My precious girl... my shadow," I laughed as I held out my staff. "I've wanted to give you this for so long and now I can." As she reached out and held it, my staff, no... her staff glowed a bright gold as it slowly changed. When the light disappeared my staff had changed into a short pink staff with a small white pearl at the top, framed by two white wings. I smirked and laughed. "HAHAHA! It matches your outfit." A moment later my staff reappeared which left me a little confused but somewhat happy as well. "I guess you're still mine... Thank you!" I said as I placed my staff back in my cloak.
"What is this supposed to be?" Angel huffed.
"You look like a Magical Girl now," I said as I couldn't contain my laughter anymore as everyone looked at me like I had two heads. "Sorry! Earth joke!" I smiled as I turned to Lucy
"Lucy that night of your Birthday when we gave you your gift... the accumulation of all of our knowledge and all of my powers... I hope you will share that knowledge with your sisters," I said as she happily smiled and nodded. "Use it wisely and lead your sisters well."
"I will Mom... thank you," Lucy said as she hugged me.
"Girls we have to leave for a few months, so please love and protect one another. Now how about a family hug before I leave!" I said as I was attacked by my girls who happily smiled as they enveloped me. I looked at Emrys and said, "you too dear... these are your girls as well." He quickly joined in the group hug. After a few minutes we parted and Emrys and I were ready to leave.
"Oh! I have one final gift for you three. This is from your Grandmother," I said as I touched each girls head and a necklace with a gem appeared around their neck. Wendy's necklace was a large red ruby... Yukino's necklace was a black diamond and Angel's wand reduced in size and became a string of white pearls. "Hmmm! I guess that wand was in someway Mother's doing," I smiled as I looked up and mouthed, "Thank you! Mom!"
"If you have any questions ask Minerva or Lucy... Okay," I said as they all nodded. "AH! One final thing! The five of you are not only sisters but you are also Celestial Mages and because of that you also have inherited some of my powers... So be very careful and ask Lucy for help with it. She knows what you need to know," I said with a smile as I stepped back and held Emrys's hand.
"I love you all... Goodbye!" I said as we started to vanish.
"We love you too!" They shouted and smiled.
"KEEP LUCY SAFE!" I shouted as we vanished.
AN POV
"I wonder what she meant by that?" Wendy said as she picked up Carla and turned to her sisters. "So what do we do now?"
"Well Wendy how about we get something to eat and we have a little party tonight so we can all get to know each other better," Minerva said as she put her arm around Wendy and walked to the fire-pit. "So! Everyone want to that... I mean eat, party and relax!?" I asked as everyone just smiled and nodded.
"Minerva-san what did Mamma mean by "Keep Lucy safe!" So does someone want to hurt her?" Wendy said as she looked up at we with a scared look.
"Don't you worry sweetheart we will protect her... okay!" I smiled.
"So someone does want to hurt her... Who is it?" Wendy said as she stopped and stood in front of me.
"Zeref!" Minerva said as she sighed. "Let's worry about that another time... let's have some fun... shall we!"
Well it looks like Sabertooth has a powerful new team... wonder how that will work out for them? LOL Poor Sting and he just became the new Master.
I hope you are enjoying my story. If you are... then I'm happy.
Until next weekend, Take care.
