Chapter 3-
Lucy's POV:
"Asterodea?" I ask, "Doesn't that mean star goddess or goddess of the stars?"
"It does. I'm glad you know the celestial names and meanings, because you will change yours sooner or later. Am I right? Now, please follow me will you?" she replied gesturing with her head, towards a huge cave on our right that I didn't notice before. We walked to the cave and then we went inside. Inside the cave it was pitch black and I couldn't see anything. I swear I almost tripped while walking because of it.
"Keep walking straight ahead Lucy," Asterodea told me.
"OK, but where are we going?" I curiously asked her in response.
"We are going to the 'Casa di il Draghi,' which means 'Home of the Dragons' in Italian," she responded.
"Why are we going there?" I questioned her.
"You'll see. We're almost there," she sighed happy. We walked for another few feet when a bright light surrounded us. This time I couldn't see because it was too bright. After a couple seconds though the light faded away and I could see again. It was beautiful, we were in a large meadow with the healthiest green grass I've ever seen. There were flowers blooming everywhere and really tall trees. I would estimate them at about almost 200 feet tall. It took my breath away. You could hear the birds chirping and in the distance a waterfall. The sky was the clearest blue ever, there wasn't even a cloud in the sky. Asterodea gripped the back of my shirt lightly with her teeth, picked me up, and put me on her back. Then she spread her wings, gave them a few hard flaps, and next thing I know we we're flying in the air. From up here the view was even more amazing. I could see mountains, valleys, an ocean, and different areas with different weather or different items.
"Asterodea, what are those areas that look different than the others?" I asked her.
"What you are looking at are the other dragons homes. Each of their homes relate to what type of dragon they are," she said.
"Cool! So that means the one with all the lava and fire belongs to Igneel, the one with all the herbs and plants is Grandine's, and the one with all of the metal belongs to Metallicana!" I exclaimed. Asterodea whipped her head around to look at me.
"How do you know their names?" she questioned me cautiously.
"Oh well I know the people they taught dragon slayer magic to. Their names are Natsu, Wendy, and Gajeel. They always talk about them and how they miss them," I said sadly. She nodded her head in understanding, and turned her head the other way again.
"Look ahead Lucy. There is the castle I will bring you to," she announced.
"Castle? What are we going to do at a castle?" I stated.
"You will learn more about your mother there," she added. I was astonished and my mouth was gaping open. Ten seconds later we landed near the castle. I carefully climbed off Asterodea's back and landed softly on the ground. I turned around to ask her a question, but what I saw was not a dragon, it was a beautiful woman. She had blue and silver hair and was wearing a white and black gown. She also had glitter on the dress making it look like stars and different colored gems woven through her hair, which was piled elegantly on top of her head. Once again my mouth fell open on it's own, and the lady walked over to me to shut my mouth.
"Lucy it's not polite to stare," she joked. It was Asterodea's voice. I shut my mouth.
"Why do you look like a human? I thought you were a dragon?" I pointed out.
"All dragons have a human form except for the regular ones," she explained. I nodded my head up and down. Then she started to walk towards the castle gesturing for me to follow, so I did. Once we got inside she led me down a hall and towards a room. The room was a bedroom with a separate bathroom and sitting room.
"This will be your room for however long you decide to stay," she implored and then said clapping her hands excitingly, "Now let's get you properly dressed!" She had me take a bath and when I came out after drying up, laying on the bed was the most beautiful gown I've ever seen. It was like similar to Asterodea's in color, but not in design. While her dress was long and form-fitting with straps, mine was strapless, hugged my upper body, and then flared out like the dresses my father used to force me to wear back at the Heartfilia estate. The dress was black and had small, silver gems tightly put together at the top, but as the dress went down the gems became fewer and fewer. At the bottom there was barely any gems only a few here and there. The dress also had two layers of lace over the fabric, the back of the dress dipped low to just above my butt. I tried it on and it fit perfectly. I then zipped up the side to hold it up of course. At the end of the bed I found silver shoes that tied up my legs to my knees. When I was done Asterodea came back in to do my hair and makeup. For my hair she curled it and pinned it up on my head with some pins. To keep the curls in place she sprayed on some hairspray. We were both silent the entire time. Just like in her hair she wove some gems here and there. For the finishing touch on my hair she put a little tiara on my head that had dark blue jewels in it. Then she did my makeup. She ended up putting on mascara, a little bit of blush, and a light pink lipstick. The whole time I was turned away from the mirror and when she was done she squealed in excitement.
"Ooooohhhhhhh, you look so gorgeous!" She turned me around and I gasped when I looked in the mirror. She was right I did. I jumped up and gave her a hug.
"Thank you so much!" I exclaimed.
"It was no big deal," she shook it off. All of a sudden a puff of smoke came out of nowhere and there was Loke/Leo the Lion standing there. He came over to me and gave me a hug. Then he backed up and looked at me from head to toe.
"You really do look gorgeous Princess," he observed. I blushed at this.
"Thanks," I mumbled, "Wait! What are you doing here Loke!? Get out! Go away!" I shrieked, picking up the closest thing to me and chucking it at his head hitting him smack dab in the middle of his forehead. That "thing" so happened to be a hairbrush.
"Ouch! I just came to say hello since you haven't called me out in a while and I get hit by a hairbrush? Jeez, Luce I'm using my own magical power, no need to get worked up," he says rubbing his forehead.
"Yeah, but I hate it when you just pop in like that! I'll say it one more time go away!" I yell.
"Nope not unless you say please," he sings.
"I'll make a deal with you. If you leave now I will call you and Virgo out later to catch up. Deal?" I ask.
"Yep! See ya later princess!" he smiles and goes back to the Spirit World.
"Let's get going before we're late!" Asterodea ushered. We walked out of my room, down the hall, took a right, and opened two huge doors that led to a room with a gigantic table in it. Seated around the table were many people that I've never seen before. When I walked in all of the people stood up and bowed or curtsied to me. I looked at Asterodea in confusion wondering what was going on.
"You'll have to tell them to stand up," she whispered to me. I nodded in understanding.
"Please stand up, you have no reason to bow or curtsey to me," I say in a calm voice. Asterodea leads me to sit down next to a man with slightly darker hair than Natsu's, and herself. 'Oh how I miss the guild,' I think to myself. When I sit down Asterodea speaks to me.
"Lucy I, well we, decided to bring you here to tell you more about your magic, heritage, and mother." Everybody nodded their heads in agreement.
"My m-mom?" I stuttered. The man on my left spoke up, he had a smooth voice not a gruff one.
"Yes your mom among other things," he responded. His hair... Wait! Is that Igneel?
"Wait a minute. Is your name Igneel?" I ask him.
"It is, but how do you know me when this is the first time I've met you?" he asks right back.
"Well I know somebody you know," I hinted.
"You do?"
"Yep! Natsu Dragneel, the name you gave him yourself," I said enthusiastically giving him a thumbs up.
"You know Natsu? How is he? I bet he has been looking for me for the time that I have been gone," he taps his fingers on his chin. I saddened at the 'How is he?' question and start to cry.
"Well I was on a team with him and h-he..." I couldn't finish that statement because I broke down even harder. Now I was glad I had waterproof mascara on.
"He what dear?" Igneel asked me softly rubbing my back. Igneel felt like the father I always wanted while he was comforting me. I stopped crying to finish my statement.
"He kicked me off of the team just to replace me with somebody else and called me weak. After that was when I decided to leave Fairy Tail to become stronger. I went to Clover Town for a little while, but then went to the meadow and waterfall near my old house, the Heartfilia estate. Then Asterodea found me and now here I am," I finished with a gesture of my hands. Everybody was wide eyed and staring at me because of my rant. I decided to ask another question before Asterodea and the other dragons told me about my mom, heritage, and magic.
"Oh yeah. Will Grandine and Metallicana raise your hands please?" I questioned looking around. Two people next to each other raised their hands. Grandine had light blue hair like the sky done in a simple bun with feathers woven through it and was wearing a white dress that crisscrossed in the front. She had one simple piece of jewelry on and that was a simple necklace made out of silver. Metallicana looked similar to Gajeel, only he had more iron piercings and short spiky black hair.
"I also know Wendy who was taught Sky Dragon Slayer magic by Grandine and Gajeel who was taught Iron Dragon Slayer Magic by Metallicana. Natsu, Wendy, Gajeel, and I are all in the same guild. Well I was in the same guild," I shrugged. If everyone wasn't surprised earlier, well then they are now.
"OK. Anyway Lucy I'm sure that by now you heard from Wendy, Natsu, and Gajeel that their dragons left on 7-7-777x right? Well all of the dragons had to come back here that day Lucy because that was the day your mother died, which you also know," Grandine started. Her voice was soft yet carried throughout the whole room. I nodded. Asterodea continued instead.
"Well Lucy we had to come back because our Queen died. That Queen was your mother. She was able to control all of the elements and any other magic in the world. Now that she has died though we have been waiting for you to become 17 to lead us. Even though you were stuck on that island for seven years you haven't aged so therefore to us you are still that age." Metallicana spoke up.
"So therefore, Lucy you will become our Queen and learn every type of magic there is for the next seven years. You will be able to come and go though." Metallicana's voice was gruff like Gajeel's, they are so much like each other it's funny. I start giggling and nod my head saying that I understand. After that the dragons all leave and Asterodea leads me to my room giving me a bronze gate key. I look at her in confusion.
"It will help you send letters to your guild or friends if you want to. To open it you need to know the name of the spirit right? Well his name name is Nestor," she tells me. I thank her and start writing a letter to Levy to tell her about what has happened so far after I get changed into a tank top and shorts.
Dear Levy,
I know you're worried about me, but please don't be. I am perfectly alright and in good hands. Now what I'm about to tell you you can't tell anybody except Master. Not even Natsu, Wendy or Gajeel can learn of this at the moment. My mom was apparently Queen of the dragons, so now that she's gone I am. I met Natsu, Wendy, and Gajeel's dragons today during a meeting. They were in human form though. If you can find a book about dragons maybe you can look that up. I also apparently am able to use any magic I want to just like my mom. I will be training with each of the dragons to learn every type of Dragon Slayer magic there is and learning every other magic on my own or with the dragons in their human form. I really miss you and the others you know. I hope I will see you at the end of my training if I go back to Fairy Tail. If you are wondering who the man was that gave this letter to you, I wouldn't be alarmed. He is one of my new spirits. His name is Nestor and he is the spirit of Traveling. Remember don't tell anybody except Master about this letter. I also hope that this letter gets to you safely. XOXOXO
Love,
Lucy Heartfilia
After I finished writing the letter, I called open Nestor's gate so he could give the letter to Levy.
"Open Gate of the Traveler, Nestor!" I called out. A man with brown hair wearing a tan suit like Loke came out.
"Nestor instead of doing the contract now could we do it tomorrow? I know I should do it tonight, but I need you take this letter to my best friend Levy at Fairy Tail in Magnolia. I also still need to talk to Virgo and Loke before I go to sleep. Oh and please do not tell anybody who you are or who you work with meaning me. I don't want certain people knowing that I'm contacting certain people. I explained to Levy in the letter who you are and what you do for me, so after you leave and she reads the letter she'll understand," I told him. He nodded his head.
"Yes princess I understand," he said taking the letter from me.
"Also after you are done giving the letter to Levy you can return straight to the Spirit World," I added. He once again nodded, disappearing through a white portal to Magnolia. After he left I opened Loke's and Virgo's gates.
"Open Gate of the Maiden, Virgo! Open Gate of the Lion, Loke!" Both spirits appeared in front of me. Loke with a huge smile on his face and Virgo saying what she usually does.
"Punishment time princess?" She asked me bowing.
"No, no I just called you two out because I made Loke a deal that I would call you guys out to catch up," I explained to her.
"Oh OK," she stood up straight and both of them came to sit down with me on the bed.
"So guys what was it like not seeing me for seven years?" I groaned.
"Oh Lucy. I missed you so much!" Loke drawled dramatically. I hit him in the face with a pillow.
"Jeeze Luce. What's with you and hitting me with things?" he whined.
"It's fun, and it's the only time I get to do it too! Virgo what about you how have you been without me?" I inclined still laughing.
"It was boring. I mostly spent my time cleaning my house or doing yard work," she admitted shrugging her shoulders. I nodded agreeing with her about how that was all she did.
"OK I know this hasn't been a long talk, but I'm getting tired and it's getting late so you guys need to go back," I told them.
"Awwwww, but Luce. We didn't talk for long at all," Loke protested.
"Sorry Loke, but you didn't say for how long I had to talk to you, plus I'm about to pass out. Now go back to the Spirit World please," I stated. He huffed and crossed his arms. Then both him and Virgo disappear with a poof, leaving me in the welcomed silence. I got under the covers and fell asleep five minutes later.
Levy's POV:
Just before I left the guild a strange man came out of a white portal and walked up to me handing me a letter with my name on it. I asked him what his name was, but he wouldn't answer me and just shook his head saying no. It was strange. I didn't take a good look at the letter until the guy disappeared out of my sight, like a "poof gone" type of thing. The letter had Luce's handwriting on it! I decided to go sit in a corner and read it so nobody else saw it. I was glad she wrote to me. I started to read the letter and it said,
Dear Levy,
I know you're worried about me, but please don't be. I am perfectly alright and in good hands. Now what I'm about to tell you you can't tell anybody except Master. Not even Natsu, Wendy or Gajeel can learn of this at the moment. My mom was apparently Queen of the dragons, so now that she's gone I am.

Lucy Heartfilia
Oh so that's who the strange man was that gave me the letter. Wait! Lucy is Queen of the dragons!? Did I read that right? I was shocked so I decided to go show Master the letter before I went home. I walked up to his office knocked on his door and heard him say, 'come in.' I opened up his door, walked in, and handed him the letter so he could read it. No words were spoken between us though. His eyes grew wide while reading the letter and when he was done he handed it back to me smiling. I could tell he was happy about hearing from Lucy. So I put the letter in my pocket and walked out of the guild to my apartment in the girls dormitory, Fairy Hills. When I got there I walked in my apartment and I quickly changed, fell asleep on my bed.
-Timeskip next morning-
Lucy's POV:
I woke up in the morning to the sun shining through my window onto my bed. I smiled and stretched getting ready for my first day in the dragon's world. All of a sudden a few maids came in with breakfast for me and to help me get ready. I ate the scrambled eggs, bacon, and toast before drinking the orange juice. After I was done one maid took that out of the room, another made me a bath, and the other was picking out what looked to be training clothes. I got up and went into the bathroom after all the maids left and took my bath. I had a few aches and it helped to get rid of them. Then I got dressed and walked outside into the castle courtyard. There I found all of the dragons in their natural form waiting for me so we could start training. For seven years this will be my routine along with gaining more gate/spirit keys and learning all of the other types of magic. Once I was in the center of the courtyard the dragons changed to their human forms and came forward one by one to give me their gate key. It was a silent process and in the end there was so many keys I needed a gate wheel or spirit wheel to store my keys on which is kinda like Erza's requip magic. The only keys I kept on me were my zodiac ones in the end.
