I don't own Fairy Tail!

Chapter 4: Oración Seis

Cobra P.O.V.

I can't stop myself from looking at the young girl laying on the grass besides me. Her light blonde fanned out around her beautiful diamond shaped face. Her eyes are closed but she isn't sleeping. My eyes travel down to her lips, soft pink lips graced in a small smile. I can't believe I'm fucking up my task. I'm supposed to watch her and keep her safe, not fall in love with her. But it seems highly impossible not to love her. I take a deep breath and turn my gaze to the small flower garden. She told me that this was her mother's special place to just sit and relax. Taking in the different scents from the flowers. He can't help himself from smiling when some sweet scents hit his nose. He has never liked anything sweet, but this was just magical.
"Hey, Erik?"
"Yeah?" I turn my head to see Lucy looking at me with a cute look on her face.
"Well considering we're all alone now. Would you like to tell me a bit about your magic? Over the last few days I got really curious, to be honest."
"Yeah, sure. Well first of all, I'm a Poison Dragon Slayer. Dragon Slaying magic is a lost magic. But unlike first generation Slayers, I was not raised by a real dragon."
Lucy's mouth drops open in shock. "A real dragon? But dragons are extinct, aren't they? But anyway, how did you get your magic, if not from a dragon?"
"Curious blonde." Erik shakes his head lightly and chuckles. "I got my magic though a poison lacrima. They infused the lacrima into my body, giving me my magic."
"Did it hurt?"
"At the time it did, considering I was just a kid when they infused the lacrima."

Another look of horror crosses the blonde's face. 'How could they do that to him at such young age?'
"They did it to make me stronger."
"But Dragon Slaying magic is not your only magic is it?"
Erik shakes his head smiling at the blonde. "Indeed it is not. I also have Soul Listening magic. Which is often confused with mind reading."
"It is something completely different, right?"
Erik nods. Finally someone who understood. "Soul Listening is not just being able to hear the voice inside your head. It's all about the voice of your soul really. Although I can also hear thoughts." He adds with a smirk and a wink.
Lucy giggles softly. "Must come handy in case of secrecy or something."
"It does."

"Lucy dear, time for dinner." Mrs. Spetto walks up to us with a small smile on her face. "You're lucky, he's in a good mood today."
I stand up and dust myself off, before holding out both my hands for Lucy to grab onto. She takes my hands with a gentle smiles and I pull her to her feet. Before walking inside with her maid.

I rub my eyes with a deep growl. What the fuck is wrong with me? Why are my memories with her coming back now? Did Brain not lock them away well enough? However, considering he locked away all my memories, I wonder why only the memories with Lucy return now. I sigh deeply before getting out of bed and grabbing my coat. It's time for a guild meeting after all. As I step out of my room, I'm immediately met with the sight of my sleeping guildmate. A reflector mage named Midnight. Why that name? Well because his magic is strongest at midnight. We walk together towards the main hall.
"It's too cold for this shit."
I growl in agreement. "You don't say."
As we reach the main hall, the rest of our 6 people guild is already waiting for us at the round table. Our guild master, named Brain, opens his arms with a smirk.
"Now that everyone has arrived, this meeting is officially opened. Apparently everything for our canon is ready, except for 1 essential thing, am I correct?"
Midnight nods at his foster dad and stands up. "That is indeed correct. The only thing missing now is a strong mage. A Celestial mage to be specific." Immediately memories of Lucy start flooding my head.
"It seems that Sabertooth has a Celestial mage. She possesses 2 golden Zodiac keys, the 13th Zodiac key and a few silver keys." It has been Racer's task to observe the Sabertooth girl, so he should have pretty much information on the girl at this moment.
Midnight shakes his head with a small sigh. "She is not strong enough."
My eyes shift to Angel, who seems to be in deep thought. "What about Fairy Tail?"
All heads turn towards her with questioning eyes.
"What about them?"
"A new girl joined recently. Some high class blonde bimbo, who seems to be a Celestial mage as well. 10 golden Zodiac keys and a few silver ones."
I dig my nails into the palms of my hands to suppress a low growl. 'How dare she call Lucy that?'
"Rumors are not good enough, Angel. You know that as well as the rest of us." Midnight sends her a small glare. She pouts and turns her head away with a 'Hmph.'
"Fine, then I'll just leave tomorrow to see if it is indeed true."
Brain shakes his head at her words. " No need for that. I'm sure by now people would have heard about our canon, meaning they will probably combine powers to destroy us. Or try to destroy us at least." Everyone chuckles darkly. "If she is strong enough, she will accompany them. If not, then we will just have to keep looking. Our plan will succeed."
"Would there be another option, besides those 2."
"Considering the Zodiac are split between those 2 women, there will be no other option."
I nod my head slowly.

Midnight P.O.V.

Something about Cobra is different ever since the subject about the blonde Celestial mage came up. Does it have something to do with her? 'He better sticks to the plan. We simply can not afford any screw ups.' Cobra turns his head and sends me a deadly glare. I just smirk internally. I knew he'd hear me.
"I think it's time to set the plan in motion once and for all. Wouldn't you agree, Brain?" I can't stop the satisfying grin on my face when my foster dad looks at me and nods.
"Just a few more days and the Balam Alliance will rule this world." And with that the meeting ended. Immediately Cobra jumps up from his seat and marches back to his room. I follow him, until I reach my own room. I smirk and chuckle.

"We're coming for you, Lucy Heartfilia."
