Chapter 1

Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here. Here comes the sun, and I say. It's all right.

Lucy's head was sitting on the table as she gazed around the guild. Just watching everyone pass and go through the building.

She found the guild odd today since there was no one noisy and fighting. It felt odd and kind of relaxing in some way. Although, it didn't feel the same.

"Lucy, can I get you something? You look down." Mira asked her while wiping the glasses in the counter. Mira looked the same as ever, charming and elegant.

"No worries, Mira. It feels odd since there is no one noisy. Anyways, how is Lisanna?" Lucy felt a pang of jealousy. She had no more ideas on what to talk about. Don't get her wrong, she likes Lisanna, and she considers her as a friend and a comrade.

"Hmm. That's weird. She said she was going on a job with Natsu and your team. Wait, why are you here? Shouldn't you be with them?" Mira stopped working and looked at Lucy with wide eyes.

Lucy lifted her head up and fixed her poise. She replied, "One strawberry shake, please."

She ignored the fact that she was left behind by her comrades. Yes, she did feel betrayed but maybe she needs to gather her thoughts.

When she received her shake, she was silent the whole time that she didn't realise that someone was talking to her.

"Earth to Lucy." Loki, a.k.a Leo appeared behind her and suddenly hugged her.

Lucy, out of the blue shrieked in surprise and kicked him. She panted and looked at him in a strange way. Loki looked charming as ever, wearing a tuxedo and looking fresh. The girls in the guild started to approach them but Lucy interrupted.

"Loki... How come you're here?" Lucy felt happy when he saw Loki visiting her. It was unusual since she didn't open his gate.

"I have a favour. I'll be busy for the whole week so please refrain from opening my gate." Loki gave her a weak smile and broke the eye contact. Loki soon left with a puff of smoke.

Lucy didn't believe what she was hearing. She could only respond 'oh, okay'. After giving their farewells, Lucy made up her mind.

She is going to find a job

She looked over the bulletin board and looked over the requested jobs. After about 20 mins of looking over hundreds of request, she saw something that captured her attention.

PLEASE HELP ANDROMEDA TEMPLE!

NEED SOMEONE WITH HIGH INTELLIGENCE AND GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH OTHER PEOPLE.

PREFERABLY A CELESTIAL WIZARD!

REWARD: 1,000,000 JEWELS!

"Hmm.. This sounds fishy. Mira, I'll get this job." She gave the request paper (whatever you call it) to Mira and she gave her a hesitant reply.

"Are you sure? Andromeda Temple is located  near the border of Fiore and the country of Seven, the city of Ortus. There is a lot of Vulcans there. Are you sure you want to take this mission?" Mira mumbled, she sounded like she didn't want Lucy to take this mission.

"Who else can take this job anyway? It wants a celestial wizard." Lucy boredly replied, changing her tone.

"The journey going there will probably take a week. Take care of yourself." Mira sighed to herself and looked over the request. Her eyes widen in surprise and took the request.
