Chapter 3: When In Doubt, Ask Levy! (Naranja)

"Aaaah..." I sighed, "Remind me to NEVER increase my so called 'magical' abilities, as it will just cause pain and suffering for everyone." I moaned loudly.

"And tell me why Erza and Neithan are apparently immune to it..." Lucy joined along and we both collapsed on the ground in pain and agony.

"It wasn't THAT bad." Natsu says happily. Yes it was Natsu, because unlike you, I'm just a simple human being from Earth that has done nothing to deserve the excruciating pain I got. To be quite honest I don't even think it did anything. Talk about a rip-off. I want all the pain you caused back Ultear! I felt like I was going to die, and that my body was being torn apart very brutally, and I saw stars in my eyes when I suffered through that!

Yes, I need my pain back, as the reward for that seems to be nothing. It didn't unlock a so called 'second origin', it just made me very, very, very sore.

But even if that happened, I figured out amazing things about myself. I stood up and started walking again, reminiscing about my discoveries...

***Flashback go!***

Front Slash. Alex blocked it. I spun on my heel but instead of landing a hit on him, I fell flat on my face. I stand up brutally, sand in my mouth.

"Who thought it was a good idea to train at the freaking beach!?" I yell loudly. "Seriously though... the sand is burning my feet, and I'm fighting you in a freaking bathing suit! What if I randomly swing my sword and it cuts my arm off or something?!" I started to rant.

Yes, the training had took place at the beach which was fine in its own right, but trying to fight in sand was Hard with a capital H.

"Listen Naranja, training on the sand is a good idea as-" The light blonde started to say but I interrupted him.

"Yes, yes, I know, since sand is the hardest surface to train on, if I can move fast and accurately on that surface then I'm good to go for every other surface." I chanted.

"Then try again." He waved his hand at me, "Come." I dashed towards him and tried to get behind him to strike, but he caught my movement, moved right in front of me, shocking me, and used the pommel of his blade to hit my stomach, sending me backwards in pain.

"Ooww..." I groaned, then painfully sat up, wishing I could send an arrow through the guy's face, it would seem much easier to use arrows rather than attacking straight on.

Just for fun, I mimicked the position of a bowman while Alex looked at me quizzically, one eyebrow raised, then his eyes grew as large as saucers (never got why the expression is wide as saucers, couldn't you say wide as pineapples or something?).

The bow I imagined looked like it was right there, so I imagined an arrow knocked in it and mimicked the release of the bowstring.

The arrow whizzed through the air and scraped the requip mage's cheek, causing a faint line of blood to trickle down. It was my turn for my eyes to grow wide as I stared at the line of blood on Alex's face.

"Wh-what...?" I could barely speak. I heard Alex murmur something faintly.

"The...? Is ... no... that ... died...Great Chaos ...?" I didn't pick up every word, and decided to play it safe and not ask any questions.

I stared at the weapon in my hands. It was definitely a bow with a white bowstring and beautiful limbs (the wooden part): that part was a also white but with intricate patterns in a golden yellow.

I walked over to Alex and shoved the item in his face making him flinch.

"Wh-what is that?!" I sounded half-super excited and half-scared, "D-did I summon it? Does that make me magical?" He looked at me, with an unsure look and suggested to ask Levy as she probably had answers.
