~Chapter 18~August~
Lucy's Pov,
After some hours we started to move. Dimaria was leading us ahead as Larcade was staying to close to me, helping me when I nearly fell from the burn marks. Brandish shrunk them down but they was still there smaller but still as painful. Brandish had to help Juvia with carrying Gray as Happy was flying ahead with Dimaria as he was teasing her about liking Brandish. "How long until we get there?" Gray soon asked as Brandish started thinking. "Matters on Grandpa August" Brandish answered confusing Gray and Juvia.
"He could just use a spell to bring us all to him or he is thinking about it as well we did all meet in war zone" Brandish soon explained as I nearly fell again if it wasn't for Larcade. "These burns will take forever to heal, if they do" I mumbled annoyed as I was in pure shock as Larcade picked me up in a Princess hold. "EH?" I shouted in shock when he did so as my face went pure red as Happy and Dimaria were now smirking at me the same what scared me. Brandish held back a laugh.
"This should be easier than you getting hurt Lucy" Larcade spoke looking unfazed by his actions as I felt my face get more red. "T-thanks" I spoke stuttering at first as we kept going. I noticed Gray wasn't fully use to everyone but Brandish just yet. Juvia was giving me worried looks until I smiled toward her then she would smile and go to Gray 'see'. I knew he was worried about me being safe. I knew they all wanted me to come home with them to Magnolia after all of this. I was unsure on it.
I heard Natsu's voice before in that dream world. I couldn't move forward from it. It hurt me more than anything. From that I was unsure if I would of been able to handle the guild or Magnolia. It was an hour later as in a blink of an eye we was outside a tower that was surrounded by a destroyed castle. "Eh?" Juvia and I went confused as Brandish stopped helping with Gray and moved forward as we soon saw August the most power of Zeref's old 12 Spriggan.
"GRANDPA AUGUST" Dimaria and Brandish shouted with joy as he looked toward me and Larcade raising an eyebrow as my red face had returned. In the hour walk it calmed down as Larcade had smiled toward the older man. "Hello Master August" Larcade spoke as August moved his sights to Happy and then Gray and Juvia. He was slightly confused on why we was with Brandish, Dimaria and Larcade well that was what I thought. "What is it you all want?" he soon asked as Brandish walked up to him smiling.
"We need help Grandpa, we found out where Ankhseram is and we need Irene. On top some Demon King called Lucifer is after us and then we need to know about E.N.D and the Dragon Slayers that vanished" Brandish answered fast and excited as August closed his eyes using his free hand to play with his beard. I was slightly worried and scared of him but kept on a brave face. "Let us head inside, we can heal the two hurt humans there" he spoke turning around and slamming his staff on the ground to open the tower door.
Brandish walked over to help Juvia carry Gray as we all went into the tower to see many stairs and what looked like many floors. "Place them in the seats" August spoke as Larcade had placed me in a red chair and stood near by and gave me a smile. I couldn't help but smile back my cheeks burning up as Brandish and Juvia place Gray on a light blue chair. "Lushie likesssssssssss him" Happy spoke landing on my lap as I glared toward the flying blue fur ball, that I sadly did miss dearly.
"Shut up cat" I snapped as he laughed as Brandish smiled toward me and then walked over to stand next to Dimaria who was smirking toward me. August aimed his staff toward me and Gray as it glowed. Within some seconds I was unable to feel the burns making my eyes widen as I checked my legs and arms. "Woah, that's amazing" I spoke as I looked toward Gray who was staring at his own body in shock from the healing. He wasn't shock he was in his underwear.... He still had that stripping problem alright.
"Lucifer is alive then, I thought Layla and Anna Heartfilla locked him away for good with the help of Lord Zeref" August spoke as his eyes were now closed while thinking. Juvia and Gray were looking toward me as I got up walking toward August. "Thank you for the healing and for inviting us in even though you must not trust us but please I need to know how he has Dragon Slayer magic that senses like the Dragon Slayers that vanished" I then spoke in a begging tone as he opened his eyes looking toward me.
I was looking toward him with hope he would help as he had a slight smile on his face before it vanished as his face held no emotion. "He must have the book of E.N.D, it must of not fully vanished but was teleapoted away" he soon spoke as I stood there ins shock. The Book of E.N.D was Natsu's life source. With that there was a chance to bring him back. "The other Dragons must of been sucked in the book with E.N.D" August added getting Happy, Gray and Juvia to grow hope on their faces.
"Irene can track the book with my hep better than I can alone but I warn going after the book and fighting Lucifer head on can undo all the work your mother did to lock his full power away" August spoke looking toward me as I smirked slightly. "I plan on locking that bastard back up" I replied shocking him as Brandish walked over taking my hand. "You have my help on that one Lucy. I can look through Grandpa's files and see the spell your mother used" Brandish spoke getting me to look toward her and smile.
"Thank you Brandish really, you have been there for me this whole year and so" I replied as she smiled back. "We became sisters through Mistress Aquarius did we not?" she asked as I then nodded as Brandish let go of my hand walking up the stairs calling Dimaria to following. Of course the blonde listened as I looked toward the three Fairy Tail mages. I myself was unable to be called one anymore. I did miss being a mage but that would drag me back. Even if i brought Natsu, Wendy, Gajeel, Sting, Rogue and even Cobra back it would just drag me back.
I had grown so much thanks to Brandish and she had worked so hard to keep that so. I wasn't letting that go to waste. I had to think more on it. "Think you guys can handle this still?" I asked as Gray smirked along with Juvia. "Hai" the two answered as Happy was sitting on the chair I was once on. "AYE MA'MA" Happy then shouted as I looked toward Larcade smiling as he smiled toward me nodding. "Miss Heartfilla, tell me everything about Lucifer and how E.N.D vanished" August soon ordered as I turned around to face him.
"Hai" I replied as I then started explaining right away as he had his eyes closed listening. Larcade, Happy, Gray and Juvia would jump in with extra information that I was about to add or forgot, what I was grateful for.
