Six months passed

Summer was during an end, Jellal and Erza had decided to have one last summer day out in the garden with their babies.

Jellal had finished cutting the long green grass just a few days before but the smell of the freshly cut garden filled the air. The sun sat in the perfect pale blue sky, the clouds had taken a day away from hiding its beauty.

Tiny bees rushed around the scented roses, collecting pollen for the hive. Kiyoshi sat on the patio in his shorts and denim cap. Erza had given him an ice lolly which now covered his white vest top, he sat content, mushing the ice into his hands.

Jellal stood at his hand made stoned barbeque, the smoke from the coal drifted up as he flipped the half grilled burgers. Erza entered the garden with a tray of freshly made drinks in her hand; she placed them onto the wooden bench at the side of the patio. Jellal admired her beauty from where he stood; her long scarlet hair was neatly tied back. The dark black swimsuit top covered just enough of her to imagine more, her denim shorts fitted perfectly around her lower half, she turned to the smell of burning meat.

"Jellal the food!" she laughed.

He quickly turned to his grill, the burgers were destroyed, he frowned in frustration, cooking wasn't his strong point; he thought he would try it this once to give Erza a break.

"Good job I brought extra" she smiled, as she handed him another pack of fresh burgers.

Jellal smiled as he started over.

"No getting distracted this time" she grinned as she walked away.

Erza knelt down in front of her son; she gently wiped his sticky mouth before rearranging his hair, brushing it away from his eye.

"Do you want to come in the pool with mummy?" she smiled.

Kiyoshi stood up and reached for her hand in response to the question.

Erza tried daily to get him to talk, she knew he could but he just chose to be silent, withdrawn.

"Ayoko do you want to come in the pool?" Erza shouted out to her daughter who was sat at the bottom of the garden under a tree.

"Not yet mum" she replied.

Ayoko watched from where she sat, her dad concentrating intensely on cooking the food while her mother splashed around the pool with her brother, she watched as he learned the motions he needed to become a swimmer.

"You can go and join them" Hera encouraged.

"No, I want to understand what you are; I need to make my magic stronger"

"But your mother can see me now, all you need to do is repeat the actions from the bedroom"

"That only lasted for a few minutes"

Hera sat herself next to the child, the leaves from the trees swayed as the wind gently pushed through the thin branches.

"I want to be able to show you to my parents for longer than that, so you can talk to them, so they don't question my strength"

"Ayoko they would be proud of you for what you have already accomplished"

"I know they will, but I want to be strong, the strongest I can be so they realize I'm no longer a baby, I have magic now, I'm going to get to kingdom hall and be a famous wizard, just like Lucy!"

Kingdom hall is a place where the strongest wizard's train, only the wizards who have great strength are able to enrol here. Once they have joined their skills are built to the highest they can be. To join this organization you need to go through a number of test before you battle with other wizards who are competing for a place, the last battle to these tests is the hardest, so hard only a hand full of wizards have passed it. Lucy Heartfilia is one of them wizards.

"Mum won't even let me try for a place if I just show her what I can do now" Ayoko sighed.

Hera nodded in agreement.

"First I need to understand my magic and then I can train and get stronger" Ayoko frowned, her thoughts raced as she planned how she would reach her goal.

"This book will help you in understanding who I am, but it is important that you learn from me too not just these words"

Ayoko nodded as she took the book from Hera.

Kiyoshi held to his mother's arm as she guided him through the water, she whispered reassuring words to him as her grip on him loosened.

"Foods almost ready!" Jellal called to his family.

Kiyoshi pushed away from his mum, as he attempted to swim on his own, Erza looked up to answer Jellal's call for a moment.

Kiyoshi kicked his feet; the bands round his arms kept him a float. He pulled from them in frustration, if his sister could do it why couldn't he. This was his moment to show his parents he wasn't weak, that he could do everything she could. His body began to bop up and down, going into the water and then coming back out. This was it he was swimming; he continued to kick, getting further away from his mother's arms.

"Kiyoshi!" Erza screamed.

She scooped his tiny body into his arms, the small boy chocked from the water which had rushed into his breathing system.

"What's wrong?" Jellal rushed up the path towards them.

"Nothing, his ok, his ok" Erza brushed the small boys hair back.

"What happened?" Jellal questioned again, handing her a towel.

"I looked away for a second, I'm sorry" Erza eyes rushed with warm tear.

Jellal wrapped his arms around the pair.

"He was drowning Jellal, if I hadn't looked around at that moment" Erza words stopped as the ears rushed down in their hundreds.

"Is alright, its ok, his fine, his fine" Jellal guided her into the house.

"Ayoko come inside now please" her dad called to her.

Ayoko stood at the bottom of the garden; she watched as her family vanished into the house, tiny tears trickled down her cheek.

"His ok, nothing bad happened" Hera placed her hand on the child arm.

"If I was strong enough I could have done something to help, I should have been able to save him"

Hera stood at her side, as Ayoko wiped away her tears.

"I need to be the best I can not just for my own goal, but to protect him Hera, he needs me"

Ayoko turned, taking her book, she looked down on the golden cover, she slowly closed her eyes.

"I promise I will protect him, from this world and the next" she whispered into the wind.

The book shone, beams of glowing light escaped through the sealed pages, Ayoko watched as the golden cover slowly opened, the wind gently blew the pages before the book rested in her arms once more.

Ayoko turned to Hera for an explanation as she realized her name had been imprinted into the paper.

"It was made for you; it's a book from the heavens"

Ayoko's lips trembled as Hera walked forward.

"My name is Hera, I am the wife of Zeus, and I was brought here to protect you"

Hera stood calmly, her whole body shone; Ayoko clung to the book as her tiny body shook.

"Ayoko…I am your goddess…"
