"Magic used to exist, we call it the magical world. A place where wizards, dragons and everything you never thought existed was real."
"Thats where my mother came from," Lisanna breathed.
Natsu nodded. "It was peaceful. I never really knew my parents... I grew up with foster parents. Dragons."
The door opened and Gajeel and Gray spilled in. "You were raised by dragons!" Gray spluttered.
"So was Gajeel, only he doesnt remember," Natsu said. Gajeel said nothing. "Though the magic is coming back, so should the memories."
Gajeel looked down at his palms. "My life... was a lie?" He muttered.
"What about the dragon wars? What happened to my mother?"
Natsu sighed. "The wizards were greedy. They wanted more magic, and the source of it was hidden in the dragon caves. A dragon crystal."
"But Lucy's dad said that he was the one who created it," Levy puzzled.
"He rebuilt it... after it was destroyed," Natsu corrected.
Lucy shook her head. "No this doesnt make any sense, why would my father try to create something dangerous again?"
"Why was the crystal destroyed?" Juvia asked.
"During the wars, the dragons decided it was best that rhe crystal was destroyed as magic seemed to be too corrupt," Natsu explained. "My father, Igneel, was the one who decided to get rid of magic once and for all."
"They burned down the villages, destroying the wizards home and magic."
"Thats awful..." Erza muttered.
"Lucy's mother was one of the survivors. But it was too late by then. Gradually magic began to disappear." Natsu continued. "Only her father didnt agree."
"So he rebuilt the dragon crystals?" Levy wondered.
"He rebuilt them, and they absorbed the last essence of magic left in the world. So now we live in a world without magic."
"Memories fade. People forget."
"But why do we have powers?" Gray asked. "Why can I do this?" He presented an iceflake in his palms.
Levy's eyes lit up. "I believe this school used to be a guild for wizards," she piped. "And not just any guild, Fairytail was the strongest wizard guild there was!"
"The dragon crystals were stored in the guild, until it was rebuilt as a highschool."
"When that happened, the crystals dispersed and became lost," Levy finished.
Still confused, Lucy shook her head. "Whats this got to do with my mother? And Natsu's arm?" She spluttered.
"Your father told me that when she died, the magic was passed onto you," Levy explained. "But Layla was a powerful celestial wizard."
"Celestial..."Lucy repeated. "I read about those. They have special keys."
"Those keys were to be inherited to you but magic was scarce and you were too young, so the golden keys were absorbed by the crystal."
Natsu turned to Lucy. "Golden keys are zodiac keys, they are most poweful, turn back time or-
"Bring back the magic," levy finished. "If the keys are released, that amount of magic could easily bring it back to the way it was before."
"My mother could come back," Lucy breathed.
"But so would the dragons," Natsu said.
"Wait? But wasnt Lucy's mother dead?" Gray interrupted. "She cant just come back to life."
"Layla fought in the dragon war. And we won, by using the crystals. But it came with a price."
"She was absorbed into the crystal," Juvia said. "That was her price."
Lucy nodded. "But by releasing the magic my mother will be free."
Natsu's eyes lowered. "But we would also be creating another dragon war."
