I give thanks to all you beautiful readers! Sorry this is a shorter chapter.
Thank you: booklovinkitten and Kerripi for the reviews! You are amazing!
I do not own Fairy tail even though I am obsessed with it.

Also, I apologize ahead of time for any grammatical/spelling errors as I do not have anyone helping me edit and as we all know, we writers tend to read our work as it is in our brain instead of how it was actually written. I do try to catch things, but some do fall through the cracks. Thank you all for still reading it in all its glory and flaws. :) Also sorry for the rush through the fighting scenes. I've realized that I am not very good at attempting to write fights.
Hope you all enjoy the story

Previously from Chapter 8
The men laughed a bit, "Lucy, I would like to introduce you to my brother Zen. After talking, we realized you are his mate as well as mine."
"Oh. I was figuring that was it, but now I definitely agree. Hi, I'm Lucy, Lucy Heartfilia."
Chapter 9
The group of mages started to file out of the Boscan restaurant they just enjoyed with full stomachs and smiles on their faces.
Vander slipped behind Lucy and ducked his head low, his mouth so close to her ear, she could feel his warm breath and the smell of cinnamon. "So little kitten, should we enjoy some drinks at the bar next door?"
Shaking her head at the shadow mage's flirtatiousness, she continues walking back towards the school.
"Tomorrow night will be better. I need to meet with Capricorn and Crux at the training grounds for meditation tonight. You all are more than welcome to come watch. I know that Erik and Bix will be watching. They always do."
Coming up to her left, the poison slayer wrapped his arm around his kin's shoulders.
"Don't you know it, Tink."
Bickslow came up on her left and wrapped her in his arm on the other side.
"Hell yeah Cosplayer! Guys, you really should watch."
Farron continued to follow the group and smiled.
"It sounds really interesting. I think I will join."
The rest of the men agreed and followed behind the little blonde towards the school.
Once on the training grounds the group of Pradesh men sat at the far side of the field waiting for their little celestial mage to start meditating.
Glitters of silver and gold left behind Lucy's spirits Capricorn and the southern cross Crux, the duo talking to Lucy. After what seems to have been at least ten minutes, Lucy sits on the ground with her legs folded in front of her and her eyes closed.
After a few deep breaths a gold sphere starts to grow around Lucy. It spins as it engulfs her and starts to lift her from the air from the force of the magic lifting sand from the ground in small puffs of clouds. Smaller silver and gold spheres start to surround and spin around the larger sphere. Twenty-Six small spheres in all, one to represent each of her keys. Sweat could be seen slowly going down her face as she concentrated her magic.
As the spheres spin faster and Lucy is six feet off the ground, twelve additional spirits come out of their gates. All twelve zodiac spirits with Ophiuchus start to surround Lucy in a circle bringing their own magic to the surface.
Suddenly the door to the left entrance to the training grounds crashed as the five white porcelain archangel keys flew to the blonde mage and floated around the sphere as all fourteen spirits went back to the celestial realm.
The porcelain keys began to glow until both they and Lucy were engulfed in a pure white light that nearly blinded the group. Though the light was only seconds, it felt like minutes as it died down and there floating in the air, wrapped in white wings with glitters of gold and silver, Lucy's unconscious body floated down back to the ground as five archangel spirits stood around their new key holder and discussed their next steps.
The archangels that had appeared were Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Raguel, and Raziel. Zen had pointed each angel out to his brothers. The other men were amazed in his knowledge of the archangel spirits that had appeared. Kaleb took note to ask his brother later about his knowledge of the keys.
Michael is a large framed six and a half foot man wearing a chest plate with brown leather trim, red leather pants, and red cape. His wings, a beautiful rich brown and red encompassed his being. His green gold eyes were framed by shoulder length dirty blonde hair. He is the protector and warrior.
Gabriel is a shorter man of five foot one who was wearing white and blue robes matching his white and blue wings. His skin a pale alabaster color that contrasted his dark blue almost black hair. His eyes are a pure gold color. He is the messenger of god and can send messages as far as their key holder can imagine or any person they know.
Raphael is a man of average height and a swimmer's body, large curly green afro, deep chocolate skin, golden brown eyes. He was wearing a green pinstripe suit just a few shades lighter than his green wings. He is the healer of the keys.
Raguel has a tall curvy body and mocha skin. Wearing a lavender a-line dress made of chiffon, golden jewelry and a crown of colorful flowers in her hair. Her golden blond hair was braided in a long braid down her back. Her amethyst gold eyes matched her golden amethyst wings. She is the harmonious angel. Her tactician skills are unmatched as her unbiased position helps her see the battles from both sides, having a better idea as to what the other side may be thinking.
Raziel is a shorter curvy woman with lightly golden skin. She was wearing a blue pantsuit,along with sapphire jewels in her ears and hanging from her neck. Her royal blue hair fell down her back in waves and her blue gold eyes shone brightly. Her gold and blue wings were tucked against her back. She is the angel of wisdom and works best with the accompaniment of the Southern Cross Key, Crux.
The angel spirit now known as Raphael, was bent low and had his hands checking into Lucy's magic containers and to make sure there were no physical injuries. The celestial mage's wings disappeared into gold and silver wing markings on her back similar to Zen's. After a full assessment he nodded to Gabriel who walked over to the group. As he approached he eyed the mind bender mage. He hadn't told Zen of his brother's potential yet, because Kaleb would need to release it himself.
He changed his attention to his princess' kin.
"You'll want to take our princess to rest. She'll need a lot of it as her body needs to heal from releasing the archangel magic we have bestowed her with."
Gabriel then looked at his new keyholders two mates. "I know that you are concerned for your soon to be mate. She will be just fine. The stellerium in the school will help her magic containers fill quickly. I imagine she should be up no later than morning."
Gabriel then looked over to Kaleb. 'You haven't released it yet. It'll happen soon enough.' Kaleb became wide eyed that the spirit would know he could mind link with him.
The archangel spirits poofed out of existence after Erik had Lucy in his arms bridal style. He looked over to Kaleb. "Is there somewhere we can take her so she can get some sleep? I guess all of us actually since we're staying the night."
Having his attention pulled from his thoughts, Kaleb nodded and looked over the little blonde in concern. He could feel his magic rise as she was engulfed in the white light. It was like he was pulling at something that wouldn't come loose. Maybe the spirit was talking about his magic.
"Yes, I have a suite large enough to sleep at least ten people. We can take her there if you'll follow me."
After putting the small blonde in a bed next to the master bedroom, the men all joined together to share conversation before they themselves went to bed.
Vander pulled out some spiced apple wine and a deep walnut flavored whiskey with seven glasses.
Farron poured the drinks and handed them out to all of the men, taking a sip of the whiskey and smiling.
Cris then turned his attention to his older brother Zen.
"While we wait for our mate to wake up, I think we should talk."
Nodding his head, Zen took a sip of his wine. "Agreed brother."
"I am so happy that her other mate is you. I really wasn't sure how I would feel about sharing her with anyone else."
"It does help that we have shared partners before, I just wonder how this changes things now. I've never really allowed myself to get close to anyone due to being a slave in the pits fighting for my life."
"It's ok. I'm not really sure either since I hadn't had a mate before, but now, even without the full mating, I can feel her."
"I can too, like there is something trying to soothe me all the time."
Kaleb started to zone out from the conversation. Just the thought of her not being his hurt. He didn't want to be anymore envious so he would just ignore them for now. He'd rather engulf himself in her dreams while she slept.
He entered her dream hiding behind bushes so he wouldn't be seen. The scene was a beautiful rose garden with a rainbow of colors. He recognized Lucy and her mother, almost looking like twins, and a taller blonde man in a suit he assumes is Lucy's father. He was unable to hear their conversation, but could see and feel her happiness in the moment. He then saw his mother come up behind the trio and start to speak with Lucy as well.
That was until his mother looked straight at him and smiled. He never got to meet her but knew her by sight, always seeing her face in his childhood home. He loved her dearly, knowing it was her wish for a large family that gave him the father he had the privilege to be raised by.
She mouthed her words to him 'my son, release your magic, magic deep down inside you, and the wish you want most will come true for you.'
Kaleb gets pulled from Lucy's dream with the deep bell sound as Virgo pops into the room.
"Master Cris. Master Zen. I have prepared a bed for you in the same room as our princess. You will need to stay closer to her now that she has found both of you."
"Thank you so much Virgo. Just Cris and Zen are fine. We are not your masters. How are you here if she is still asleep?"
"Fine, Prince Cris and Prince Zen, princess gives us free reign to do as we please on our own magic. She is the first key holder that has let most of us enjoy ourselves. She said being locked up and not enjoying all that we can is like taking our freedom away and she would never wish that on anyone."
Farron wanted to know more. He really enjoyed learning more about magic, especially celestial since it was now more rare than ever.
"If I'm understanding correctly you come out on your own magic, but usually a keyholder needs to feed magic to their spirits."
Loke pops out to give more explanation and to allow Virgo to go back to check on their princess.
"Yes that is true, but our princess is a very strong celestial mage and because of that, we golden keys have been able to start opening our own gates quite a bit of time ago. Once our marks were placed on her body sealing our keys to her, it gives all of us a constant flow of her magic so now even her silver keys can come to earthland when they wish."
Zen was truly amazed, the archangels had explained some about celestial magic but not all.
"Holy stars. I haven't heard of any other celestial mages that can do that and I've been at the school for quite a while. Is this common?"
"Our Princess has quite a bit of first for our own realm as well so no. She has made it her mission to make sure that spirits have keyholders that respect and love the same as she does. Because of this, even we spirits are learning what potential she will have."
"It really is an accomplishment with how far she has come. Her celestial magic knows no bounds, along with her dragon slayer magic, she is quite strong magically."
Farron was more impressed the longer he knew Lucy. He was very happy for his brothers to find such a wonderful person, excited to have her joining the family.
Vander wanted to understand what the hell just had happened to his little sister in law.
"Is anyone going to explain why the hell Lucy now has fucking wings like Zen's. They even disappeared into her back like his."
"As the archangels had stated, she is now bestowed with archangel magic as well. It's the rarest form of magic only being three mages in the world with it currently. Zen, Lucy, and a mage that needs to still release his magic."
Farron was surprised as the family wal already having a difficult time figuring it out.
"Wait, Zen, you have archangel magic?!"
"Yes, I was just wanting to see you all again to tell you. Surprise?"
"What does this new magic do for her? Did any of you even know this was happening?"
"We found out when she received Aquarius' key back. The archangels said she has completed all that would be needed to know that Lucy is the one that was destined to be given the magic. That they were sent by their old key holder Ganier. With this new magic comes another mate. I'm sorry Cris and Zen, but there will be another person added to your little harem."
Both men slouched in defeat of there being another mate to add to their little threesome, while Kaleb sat there his mind in a swirl. He couldn't help the hope he had that maybe his mom was telling him he was her third mate.
Getting out of his seat to head to his room next to Lucy and his brother's, Kaleb looks at his family.
"I think I will go to bed. I have to get my lacrama computer and see how much I need to catch up on work. Thankfully Thane has been in charge and hopefully able to keep up with the workload. It's been nice actually taking some time away from guildmaster duties."
Zen and Cris agree and decide to go to bed also wanting to be close to their mate, Farron was just tired himself and ready to go to bed.
Bickslow, Vander and Erik decided they would stay up for a while to drink, plus the mated couple wanted to discuss a few things with Vander with the rest of the brothers out of the room.
