Okay so you know my oc Lena is playing the role as Lucy, well in the anime Fairy Tail Lucy's has Celestial Spirits that's from the Zodiac signs. Well for my version it'll be a little different compared from the anime since I'm trying not to make it too similar but at the same kept the original concept. You'll see for yourself as you kept on reading.
Anyways have any of you Fairy Tail fans seen the 100 year quest!?. I literally can't stop screaming like a crazy fan girl the moment I watched the first episode!. I love it already even though I already know what's going to happen since I read the manga, but I can't wait to see different the anime it'll be. I just wished people would STOP comparing the anime and manga and just enjoyed the good damn show. I mean seriously judgy much?. But whatever...
So enjoy this chapter. Remember I don't own anything or anyone except my OC's.
"Remember this Lena. Just because we're members of Fairy Tail, it doesn't mean we have our own personal issues. We've all had our fair share of sadness and loss". Shu Kurenai.
Those words kept repeating in Lena's mind as she wonders if the other Guild members have their own secrets and personal problem.
Then again hypothetically she was no different than they are. Especially when that secret could ended up ruining her new life here in Fairy Tail. Which is why she still hesitant to open up to them.
Yet for some reason being near Aiger makes her feel safe. Like she can talk to him about anything and he probably won't judge her for anything.
Then again she could be just thinking that because she owed him for saving her life but she even so she just met the guy and doesn't know everything about him. So she tries not to put too much trust on him yet.
'Ugh why this is so complicated'. Lena groaned to herself. 'Why am I such a trust issue person that can't make up her mind?. Probably because I've never been around that much people before in my life?'.
"Oh so I don't count as people for you huh?. Talk about rude girlfriend. I may be a Celestial Spirits but I am just as human as you are too".
Gasped Lena recognize that voice all too well. "Aqua". She said as she picked up something from her pocket that she managed to keep hidden from everybody that they don't even realize she's a Celestial Wizard.
And as a Celestial Wizard. Her specialty in required to summon a Celestial Spirits are with Gatekeys. Right now she took a golden key in her hand that has the symbol of a water barrier before stuck the key in a water of river she happens to be passing by and turned it.
"Okay I know I'm still new to this but I think this is how I summon her". She mutter to herself before calling out one of her spirits. "Open, Gate of the Water barrier, Aquarius!".
And just like that a girl with long coral dress made of a mermaid tails, diamond and pears jewelry, and sea shell made of shoe, long aqua hair with silver streak, ocean eyes, wears seashell and star hair clip appears before her. She is one of the Zodiac spirits known as Aquarius the water barrier.
But for some reason Lena likes to nickname her spirits. Which is why she calls her Aqua instead.
"Well it's about damn time you actually call me on your own!". Aqua said in annoyance before glaring at her master. "Why did took you so long to do that when you could've done that when those wizards were chasing you?. Instead you let some boy you don't even know saved you like a damsel in distress".
Lena just sighed looked only slightly offended. "I'm sorry, but I'm still pretty new at this". She said in a sad tone. "Normally my mom would be the one to summon you or the others. But since she's...You know. I'm still getting the hang out if it. I promise I'll do better".
Her spirit may be strict and a bit bossy. But Aqua knew what Lena's going through right now and understand how hard this is for her. Especially since she's now her new master.
Aqua just sighed and apologize. "It's alright and sorry for snapping like that. I was just looking out for you". She said reassuringly before pull out a smirk. "So where are you going huh?. Off to see where your new boyfriend lives?".
The mood quickly changed as Lena's face turned red as a tomato's. "I-It's not like that!" She flustered defensively. "I just wanted to check up on him cause he look pretty upset before. Plus I never got the chance to properly thank him for saving me and bringing me here to the Guild".
"Suuuree". Aqua says it in a teasing way as she's messing with her. "Well anyways I don't want to get in the way of your relationship so I best be on my way. I got a date tonight with a new boyfriend".
"What happened to the last spirit you were dating?, actually you know what?, I don't want to know". Lena just sarcastically replied before Aqua just disappear into the water returning to the Spirit World. "I still don't get how spirits are able to date each other".
However Lena decides to continue on making her way to Aiger's house. And according to Shu he lives in a small farm in the middle of the woods not too far from Magnolia.
...
"Oh my god finally!". She exhale in exhaustion relief she finally made it. "That took longer than I thought. Can't believe Aiger had to walk all the way from his place to the Guild that took almost an hour to get by".
Finally Lena made it to the Akabane's resident which was a farm house with animal barn, work shed, huge flied, and a house. A really nice place surrounded by nature.
"Wow, Aiger lived here?". She said amazed and impressed. "Pretty nice. I never thought living in a place with forest and animals could be so peaceful".
Then something caught Lena's eyes and turned toward statues and sculpture in front of the work shed. Many caught her interest but the one that she's looking at most is the one that look like a warrior holding a sword and shield.
"This guy looks pretty cool". Lena said to herself gazing with awe. "I wonder who he is?".
"Oh you must be Aiger's new friend". A voice of a woman caused Lena to turned around before meeting with Aiger's mother Kana Akabane.
She long orange hair with peach highlights which she wears in a braid down the side of her shoulders. She has a button-down red checked flannel shirt and mint jeans, plus tan boots. She also wears a straw hat on her back.

However looking at her reminds Lena of her mother who she tries not to let it get to her and be all emotional about it while trying to keep it together. "Um...Y-Yeah". She shutters trying stay calm and positive. "I'm Lena. I just came to see how Aiger's doing since I noticed he looked pretty upset after watching his sister ran off".
Kana immediately frown a little but tries to keep a smile on her face. "Yes. Can't say I don't blame them for being worried about their father". She said in concerned. "But i know Taiga can take care of himself, so I'm going to take the Master's advice and have faith he'll return safe and sound".
Lena wanted to argue how if someone went missing they should be looking for him instead of doing nothing. Unfortunately it was not her place and remembers Shu's words to her.
"Anyway Aiger's getting ready to go out again so-". Kana then look up to see Aiger and his sister Naru coming out of the house with Aiger packing his backpack on his back. "Oh there he is now".
"Everything's going to be ok Naru". Aiger reassured his younger sister who looked even more worried that her older brother is going to look for their dad. "I've been going on dangerous places all the time on my own. I'm a wizard after all".
"I know. I just wished I wasn't such a baby back there in the Guild". Naru said honestly feeling a little embarrassed by her little tantrum earlier. "Just promise me you'll be careful still".
"Always will". Aiger chuckle before patting his sister's head and look at his mom. "I'm heading out Mom. Don't worry I'll be coming home with Dad before dinner".
"I have no doubt you will Aiger". Kana said hopefully knowing her son will be okay. "Good luck".
By then Aiger just noticed Lena's presence and was surprised to see her here. "Hey there Lulu. Surprised to see you here". He said casually not realizing he said her name wrong. Again.
"It's Lena. Honestly you're doing that on purpose or what?". Lena said In annoyance before sigh. "Anyway I just came to check on you and...Well. I wanted to say thank you for saving me and bringing me to Fairy Tail".
As she said Lena can't help but blush as her face turned red. 'Pull yourself together Lena'. She thought trying keep herself together and not make a fool of herself.
"Oh is that It?". Aiger asked before shrugging. "No problem. Just glad you feel right at home there. Anyways you want to come with me and Spyro to Mount Hakobe to look for my Dad?".
Lena wasn't sure if she should consider she doesn't know how she could help. But she felt like she owes Aiger a huge debt for what he to help her. "Sure I guess". She just shrugs before noticing Spyro isn't here. "Where is he by the way?".
"Right here Sir". Spyro said out of nowhere appearing behind her that got her jump in surprise. "Wow you're pretty jumpy and scared easily".
"Shut it Dragon". Lena grunt angrily and giving a threatening glare that got Spyro scared a little.
Naru look a few feet apart noticing the girl who she doesn't know talking to Aiger before leaving with her brother and Spyro that she couldn't help but smirk a little. 'Aiger's got a girlfriend now'. She thought amusing as she can't help but giggled at the picture of her older brother being with another girl.
"Hey um Aiger...I know this is out of nowhere for me to ask". Lena said seriously while looking at him. "But I just got to ask because I'm curious. Who taught you Dragon Slayer Magic?. Cause from what i can't tell no one's been able to master it for centuries as it is known as a Lost Spell magic".
"Oh yeah. She ask me about it too but I told her it's best she heard it from you". Spyro said to Aiger. "It's okay buddy you can trust her".
Aiger stopped his walk before looking down trying to convince himself that he can tell Lena his secret. Which was rare since she's the first-well second person first one being Spyro he was about to tell his big secret that no one would ever believe him. Not even his parents.
"Promise you wouldn't laugh or think I'm making it up?". He asked Lena to promise she wouldn't judge. Which she promised as she nodded her head. "Okay I'll tell you about it on the way".
Aiger took a deep breath before beginning to tell Lena how he learn Dragon Slayer Magic from the one person that no one would think he's real.
I was 3 before a year I joined Fairy Tail. I was playing in the woods when I accidentally got to far from the farm and ended up getting lost.
I spent hours trying to find my way back but I was unfamiliar with the forest so I couldn't figure out where I was going. All I remember that day was being scared and alone.
Until I heard a loud stomping nearby that nearly shook the earth to it's core. It felt like a huge earthquake. Before I knew it I felt something was standing behind me. Or rather someone.
When I turned around I saw him...A onyx-plated humanoid clad in red armor, a burgundy cape, and wields a sword shield with a symbol. The armor has silver sections on the shin guards, an armor kilt with blue-raspberry stripes and silver borders, pauldrons and thorax plate, blue-raspberry and yellow highlights, and four blue gems: one on the shield, a triangular one on the thorax plate with a large yellow frame of a' symbol, and one orb on each knee. The shield is red and silver, and sports a yellow border. The sword is onyx-colored with a silver frame, silver hilt and handle, and two blue gems: one on the hilt and a small one near the sword's tip.
He says his name is Achilles.

"Whoa whoa whoa hold up!". Lena interrupts for a moment when she heard Aiger say the name of the one he encounter. "Did you say Achilles!?. Why does that sound so familiar?".
"You mean the fact that the name Achilles, known as the greatest warrior in ancient Greek mythology, is a figure who is recognized for his heroic complexity, unparalleled fighting skills, and tragic fate!". Aiger sarcastically points out before letting out a sigh thinking she doesn't believe him. "I knew it. You don't believe me".
But Lena quickly shook her head trying to reassure him she wasn't think that. "No no no that's not it!". She said in rush hoping he doesn't get the wrong idea. "I was just shocked at the name that's all. But I don't get it, Achilles is just a legend. How can a 3 year old just had an encounter with him in the middle of the forest?. What was he doing?".
He wouldn't tell him why he was there and what was he doing. He told me he saw me walking through his territory and offer me a way back.
He carried me on his back and while on the way he told me he was looking for an apprentice with a potential to be a great warrior. He also told me a secret power he had been learning for centuries but kept it hidden, Dragon Slayer Magic.
Yeah I know crazy and unbelievably made up. But it's the truth cause he told me that I was the choosen one and he wanted to offer me the chance to be a wizard using Dragon Slayer Magic. And that I'll become a Dragon Slayer that can take on anything and anyone. Even taking down dragons.
"Expect for you buddy". Aiger said smirking when he saw the worried look Spyro's face before feeling relief to hear that. Then he continues.
Anyways after he offered me that choice I was hesitant at first because I wasn't confident in myself yet. What if I'm not strong enough to become a Dragon Slayer?.
Luckily Achilles didn't push me to make my choice. I was given three days to decide before he drops me at my home and just disappear like he was ninja.
When I got back home I told my parents everything that happened to me. But unfortunately they didn't believe and that I thought I was making it all up due to my shock and stressed experience in getting lost.
Not to mention the description of his appreciate looks similar to the statue my dad made the day I was born.
Unfortunately my parents weren't the only ones, everyone thought I was just imagining things and I was going crazy. They laughed at me, judge me, dismissed me. No single person believe me.
But I know what I saw. That's why I came back to the place I met him three days later. Then he told me.
"Tell me, do you have what it takes to fight together with me Achilles?". Achilles asked Aiger with a very strict and serious deep voice.
"What do you mean by that?". 3 year old Aiger asked curiously feeling a little confused.
"Simple. Dragon Slayer Magic can only be wielded by the strongest wizard in the world". He replied by pointing his sword at little Aiger.
Young 3 year old Aiger felt a spark in his eyes as he had discovered a new purpose. "The strongest". He said in a whisper while smiling confidently. "Wizard".
"Aiger?".
"Aiger!".
"AIGER!".
...
"Alright then it's settled!". Aiger shout out confidently as he got into his memory while remembering what he said. "I'll be the strongest!".
Lena just blink her eyes and glare at him completely loss for words. "Uh... That's nice?". She said awkwardly. "So is that how you learned Dragon Slayer Magic?".
Aiger couldn't help but laughed in embarrassed at himself for getting distracted before continuing on.
Since then I began to learn a thing or two about magic and how to fight like a true warrior and a wizard at the same time. When my parents saw the potential of what I can do they decide to brought me to Fairy Tail. So I can put my magic and skills to good use instead of burning down everything in my path hehehe.
However. A month before I came to the Guild. It was July 7th. Achilles just... Vanished. Completely disappear without a trace. I've looked for him ever since hoping to find anything about what happened to him and why did he leave me?.
"Till this day nobody believe in my story and thinks I'm just imagining things as a kid and making it all up". Aiger ends the story with a sad look on his face. "But I know it was real. He taught me Dragon Slayer Magic and it's not something a 3 year old can learn on his own. That's why I'm never going to give up hope. Hoping he'll came back to me and proved everything that we did was real. I didn't made it up. I wasn't crazy or delusional. It.Was.Real!".
Lena couldn't help but feel so sorry for Aiger as she frown after hearing the story from him. As crazy it may sound she couldn't help but wanted to believe in him. But not because she feels sorry for him, because she just believe in his words.
"I believe you". Was all she said as she puts her hand on his as their Fairy Tail mark's glowed in red and pink as they resonate with each other.
Hearing that means a lot to Aiger as he almost felt himself tearing up hearing that Lena is the second person after Spyro to believe him.
And he could tell she wasn't lying or just saying that to make him feel better or feel sorry for him. But he can tell she was being sincere and honest because he can see it in her eyes.
No other words needed to be spoken to convince him. Just hearing those words was already enough for him.
"Now then... Let's go find my Dad". Aiger said smiling confidently after letting his story out before starts focusing on his mission again.
What do you think?. Stay tuned for more. Don't really have much to say right now so thanks for reading.
Next chapter: Me, Aiger and Spyro went to Mount Hakobe to rescue Aiger's dad Taiga. Though it won't be easy as we hoped.
