Chapter 11
Lucy POV
Igneel had been right, the trip the the mountain had been far worse then the trip to the castle.
It seemed to go on for forever, every now and again I would see something that reminded me of my old home. The fire in the distance hurt the most.
A few days after our departure we arrived at the mountains. It was hot, it was painful.
"It's to hot, in. I'm not sure how much further I can go," I said to Igneel as I placed me hand against a rock for support. Igneel stopped and turned around to look at me, then he smiled.
"No need to complain princess. We're here,"
I glared at him," My name is Lucy," I said for the hundredth time. Then his words hit me. We were there. It was time for my new life to begin.
2 years later
"One more spell and you'll be done," Said Stella to me. It had been 2 years since I arrived in the dragons realm. I had trained with all the dragons and was learning my final spell from the celestial dragon. The spell Night Shimmer was hard. More then hard it was nearly impossible. I closed my eyes to help concentrate, a familiar memory started to play like a movie. It was Natsu, before Lisana came back. He was smiling at me, beckoning me towards him.
"You can do it Luce," That's what he had said to me as I tried to cross a broken wooden bridge. Naturally Natsu was the one who had burnt it when he crossed. A smile stared to form on my face at the memory.
" Come on. You can do it Luce," I opened my eyes and said the spell. A dark mist started to form around me, blinding my view. I held the spell for almost 10 minutes before having to stop in fear of passing out.
"You did it, you did it," Cried Stella when we could finally see each other again. I laughed.
"Of course I did, I've been taught by the best," I replied. Stella looked at me and we both fell over laughing.
"Can you believe it?" Stella asked, " It feels as though it was yesterday when your mother introduced you to us,"
It was true it seemed not long ago that I was swept into the war between dragons and demons. My thoughts continued to turn dark. The demon is we're getting less and less frequent. My mother and I were worried they were planning something big. Something that would take out the last of the dragons. I refuse to let this happen, I would die before I let Grandeea pass away without seeing Wendy one last time. Wendy, I wonder how she is. She would be a young lady now. 16 years old, I hope Romeo gained the courage to ask her out. I know how badly they were crushing on each other. I sometimes wondered about the rest of team Natsu. How were they, did Grey suck it up and ask out Juvia. Had Levy admitted to herself she was in love with Gajeel. And Natsu, oh Natsu. Were he and Lisanna happily together, mabey even married at this stage, he seemed in love with her last I saw of him.
"Lucy, Lucy, LUCY!" Yelled out Stella,"I've been trying to get your attention for the past 5 minutes, it's time to head back to the palace,"
Stella smiled at me, she knew how much I loved it there. Contrary to popular belief I didn't get to visit my mother very offen, I was to busy learning magic for holidays. I stood up of the ground and dusted myself off. I looked down to Stella and helped her up.
"Come on," I said as I started walking towards the nearest portal, which reminded me to kill Igneel next time I saw him, he made me walk miles and when I found out that you could portal almost anywhere I was furious.
Portaling was actually very boring once you got used to it, which I had. The guards waved us in without a second glance, they knew who we were. The walk to the place was short but I still took every opportunity to look at all the buildings, the designs were always so beautiful and you never got used to it.
After arriving at the palace Stella and I made our way quickly towards the grand hall where my mother and the rest of the leader dragons were meeting us. I could here everyone arguing before we arrived at the door. I couldn't make out what they were saying but it was enough to make my mother start to yell. I quickly opened the door and walked in, silence fell upon the rowdy dragons as soon as they spotted me. I quickly found my seat and sat down. My curiosity was eating away at me.
"What were you all arguing about?" I asked.
"Don't worry Princess it's nothing," Said Grandeena, I shot her a look. She was the only one who insisted on calling me princess, except for Igneel of course but he did it less out of respect and more to mock me.
The dragons looked around at each other and started to murmur. We have to tell her whispered one dragon while another said it would be best for her to leave. Did they mean me. A stabbing pain shot through my chest. Was I not good enough to be the princess of the dragons. Was it because I was human. Was I not powerful enough. What was wrongs with me that made everyone leave. My mother turned to me and noticed my discomfort.
She stood up suddenly, her chair scrapping harshly against the tiled floors.
" My decision is final," she said looking at me, "My daughter will be sent back to earth and return when the threat of demons is over,"
What!" I yelled looking at her. "What do you mean your decision is final. Why did nobody bother to tell me" I looked around, nobody, not even Igneel, would make eye contact with me. I was pretty sure the hurt was evident across my face. My mother continued.
" Lucy its to dangerous for you here, the demons are planning something big and if something happens to me, you will need to take my place,"
Take her place, be queen. Did she plain to die. I was furious but saw her point of view, but I also needed to be here. I could fight. As if reading my thoughts Igneel said
" We know you can fight Lucy but we need you on earth, please,"
Igneel never said please. Ever.
I looked around to everyone faces, some held guilt, others held sadness.
"I'll do it, I'll return to earth."
Natsu I was coming home and you better be ready.
