04 Dogs
"So, what spirits do you have?" Leo asked her as he laid his head in her lap.
[Y/N] sighed to herself combing her fingers through his ginger locks. "I have quite a few. I have Hydra, Serpens, Lacerta, Lupus, Corvus, and others. Plus, there's Orion and Hercules and-."
"Orion and Hercules? I thought they didn't have keys." Leo interrupted her.
"Zeus keeps a few in Olympus, because he feels they're too powerful to be left in a mortal's hands." she explained.
"But he let you have them." Leo said.
"That's because I'm not the average mortal. I'm-."
"A demigod. Yeah, yeah, I know." He said cutting her off.
"Will you stop interrupting me, please?" She snapped at him.
He grumbled in response. [Y/N] had only been here in the ruins for two weeks, but she knew all of Leo's tells. What certain things he does that are silent responds.
"Anyway, I have a question. It is entirely odd, so don't judge me." She told him.
"Don't worry. I'll only judge if it's a little too weird." He told her.
"Well, I was thinking, Leo, that since your the constellation of a lion and a lion is a cat..." she drawed out.
"And your point would be..."
"Can you purr? Like a cat?" She asked.
Leo went quiet. Oh no. That can't possible be any good.
"I've actually never thought about that. To be fair, I've never been in a position where I would be able to." He explained. "Sorry to disappoint you."
"No, no. You could never, Leo. I was just curious, and isn't there a saying? Curiosity killed the cat?" Leo chuckled at her.
"So, what is this monster?" I asked turning to Lucy.
"We have to find a trickster imp and the money he stole." Lucy explained.
Wait. We have to fight a leprechaun? "Is he Irish too?"
"Huh?" Lucy questioned.
"Sounds like a leprechaun to me." Gray Fullbuster said.
"Wait a second. I thought you said we had to defeat a monster!" Natsu complained.
"Don't be fooled by their small, cheerful impish nature. They are devilish beings that are more horrid than anyone could ever imagine." Erza Scarlet said.
Who would have thought that Erza Scarlet was creeped out by Leprechauns? It was almost a laughable concept, and I almost did laugh, but I didn't want her to dislike me. She was part of Lucy's group, and if I wanted to be apart of it, I had to be on everyone's good side.
"But they're pranksters, Erza. Small and adorable pranksters. It's not like they are going to serious damage us." Lucy told her.
"That's what they want you to think. Don't ever be fooled by their cuteness." Erza replied harshly.
"But they're adorable!" Wendy gushed.
"I said don't be fooled by their cuteness! They're evil." Erza hissed at her.
Okay, so cute little green men are evil. Well, in Erza's book they are. Perhaps, she was right, but perhaps, she was wrong. I didn't want to be the person that would figure that out.
"So, we shall split up into groups." I said.
"Great. Me and Happy will go this way." And Natsu fled off in a random direction.
"Does he always do that?" I asked pointing to the salmon haired dragon slayer running off.
"Yeah. It's annoying." Gray said before Wendy and her cat, Carla, took off in another direction. "And they've grown the habit along with him."
"You and Lucy will go that way," Erza said pointing in front of us, "and me and Gray will go that way."
She was pointing left. Into a forest? So, she is afraid of Leprechauns. Interesting.
"Come on, [Y/N]." And with that Lucy pulled me off towards the area we were searching.
The area seemed to be greener than every other patch of the meadow. I wondered how exactly an imp would be hiding in here. But then again, they were small creatures full of illusion magic. They could be right in front of our noses, and we wouldn't even know.
"So, [Y/N], I know I've asked asked this, but could you explain to me your relationship with Loke? I didn't fully understand it before." Lucy said.
"Well, it's-. Ow!" I cried out.
Something had stabbed me in the foot. I looked down to see a gnome? I picked up the gnome to examine it.
"Are you sure it's an imp?" I asked Lucy showing her the gnome struggling in my grasp.
Suddenly, a dog jumped out. "Caroli! You can't just go opening your own portal like that every... time... you... feel... like... it."
A gargoyle was in front of the two of us and the hunting dog celestial spirit. I should have known it would have turned into this. Caroli only jumped out of the spirit world when she smelled something: an enemy or mortal food.
"Call on the cavalry, [Y/N]! I can handle this." Caroli growled.
"Cavalry?" Lucy screeched.
And with that, the gargoyle charged at us. Caroli charged at it bounding towards it baring her large canines. Cavalry? Serpens? Corvus? Lepus? Andromeda?
Andromeda and Lepus it is. "Open Gate of the Chained Lady Palace: Andromeda!"
"Chains are the windows to the soul!" The best way to describe Andromeda was she was basically Captain Marvel and Wonder Woman put into one.
"Open Gate of the Rabbit Palace: Lepus!"
"Thump-thump-thumperific." Lepus was a girl with blue hair that wore what many assumed to be a sexy bunny costume (even though no leather was involved and covered her chest, waist, ankles, and wrists with a tail in the back and two ears on her head).
I looked over at Lucy to see her deadpanned. "Your spirits have sayings for when they're summoned?"
"Yes, and it needs some works. I thought we talked about this. When will it ever get inside your thick skulls? I'm trying to be a fun and original celestial mage! It needs to be better. Go back! I'll call you again when I feel you are ready!" I shouted at them.
Andromeda and Lepus went back to the celestial spirit world. Lucy stood there with an agaped look on her face. My guess was Leo never told her about me or else she would have understood my actions although as childish as they were.
"Open Gate of the Big Dog: Sirius!"
"If only the world wouldn't get in the way."
"Open gate of fox palace: Vulpelca!"
"If only people would just let you play."
"Now that is how you make an entrance! Good work, boys!" I cheered for them.
"We knew you would call on us." Sirius explained.
"So, we planned that scene from your favorite movie growing up." Vulpeca replied.
