The Dragon Queen 3

The Royal Throne

Lucy's POV

After a night of celebrating, we decided to stay in the castle for the night. Everyone from Dragons to mages, was drinking to there hearts content. Cana seemed to be enjoying herself more than normal. Mostly everyone in the guild ended up drunk or passed out. A couple of my soldiers took most of the guild home, leaving; Juvia, Gray, Erza, Jellal, Levy, Gajeel and Cana. I am with Dilla, feeding Phoenix, who is trying to eat the meat that is sitting out in front of him. I left Natsu's side about 3 hours ago, I have no idea what he is doing, or if he has gotten himself drunk.

"He sure does eat a lot, almost like his majesty Natsu." Lady Dilla places a clean towelette on my shoulder. "The master kitchen has had to prepare 20 wild Dorithons (as big as an elephant but they will kill you.) in order to keep everyone well fed." She positions herself next to me, playing with Phoenix. She is playing peek - a - boo with him. His smile and his laugh are contagious, his chubby cheeks make for an even bigger smile, his rosy red cheeks on each cheekbone. However, I do see Eon in him sometimes, mainly when I have dreams about our first encounter. I do wish I had him here, being able to have both of my boys. My train of thought was shortly interrupted with a sound of water splashing. I look up to see Dilla drenched in water, I can her Phoenixs' infectious laugh.

"It appears his highness loves to play with water." She says cheerfully. I watch as she reaches from the nearest napkin: causally glancing at her flexible thumbs. From her eyes i can see how much she craved being human, in the past 5 hours she has loved every minute of it. When she had to use the restroom, it was awkward. I ended up having to potty train her and change her dress, twice. 

"That and Fire. His personality is just like Natsu's which scares me." I add handing her the towelette she gave to me a moment ago. "I am so sorry about that. He normally only does that to people he doesn't like, which is a majority of the guilds males." He is very fond of Erza, he likes when she shows him the different armor she has or the ones she gets him. However as soon as Jellal comes into the room he is hostile towards him for a second, then warms up to him. 

"Well if he is going to be a Future king, I think it would be best to have His majesty's personality. Goofy at times but knows what he is doing and protects his comrades. That is someone who is a powerful leader. That is why I am thankful to have such an amazing King and Queen to take the throne." She smiles at me, drying her silky dark purple hair. 

"What happened here?" A masculine voice injects into our conversation. Phoenix glances over and starts bouncing in my lap, blowing fire balls at the Nighteye. He quickly dodges them and slightly smiles. "You won't be able to land a hit on me yet, tiny prince." He ruffles his pink hair. His focus leaves Phoenix and lands on Dilla. She is completely unaware that his gaze has landed on hers. His cheeks are turning a light shade of pink. I cough to get his attention. His ears turn red from embarrassment and he looks away.

"Your not out partying with the rest of the men?" Dilla smirked, as she continues to dry her damp hair. 

Nighteye sighed and pulled a chair next to us. "No, I have to stay on guard. Anything could happen, at any moment. I have to stay on high alert, always expect the unexpected." He said with a hint of sorrow in his voice. Perhaps the memories of the last battle he and his brother ever faced together. When I went to heaven I did not see him up there, though I wish I had just to make sure his journey was successful. 

Dilla laughs, "Of course. Your as uptight as always. Why don't you loosen up a bit?" She laughs. Folding the damp towel to a nice fold. 

"LLLLUUUU *hiccup* UUUUCCCYYY!" I look towards the ceiling to find a drunk Happy flying towards us. I am surprised that he isn't hitting the walls or anything else in the castle. The way he is flying resembles a broken butterfly flying into the silent atmosphere. He was headed in my direction until Nighteye caught him just before making contact with my face. "Lushy." He says as he is constantly hiccuping. I have never seen happy like this, and it is quite amusing.
