Lucy POV

After I had gotten back from the Association headquarters, I locked myself in my room and carefully opened the box. Inside were thirteen keys made of jade and silver; twelve of the keys were pale jade while the last one was made of black jade. They looked to be in perfect condition, not a single divete or scratch on them, and that struck me as odd. I mean, I take very good care of my keys and polish them all the time, but they still get scuffed up here and there and they're metal. Jade, even when formed into a key and protected by magic, is a soft crystal and can be easily damaged. This led me to believe that these keys had been dormant for a very long time.

I tried to get some idea of which keys they were but I couldn't identify any of the symbols or shapes that were displayed. The best that I could come up with was that the first key was either a mouse or a rat, the third key looked sort of like a tiger or a lion, and the eleventh key was a dog. I tried to have Grampa Crux look into it too, but all he could do was confirm that they were spirit keys and that I seemed to be in possession of the entire set. Other than that, he couldn't tell what spirits were attached to them, how long they had been dormant, or how they had even ended up in this world.

The next day, I took the time to polish the keys and sang to them. This seemed to alleviate the lost and sorrowful feelings that were coming from them, and that made me happy. I had a feeling that these keys had suffered a lot of pain in the past and I silently promised them that I would do my best to make sure that wouldn't happen again... if I ever figured out the right spell to summon them. I had attempted the same spell that is used for my Zodiac and silver keys, but it didn't work. In a way, it made sense since they weren't normal keys. And since Grampa Crux didn't have a clue either, I'd have to keep trying until I found the right spell.

When Monday came around, I almost forgot that I made Zero promise to have lunch with Yuuki and me. Though I had to throw it together quickly, I knew it was something that Yuuki and Zero would both enjoy.

By the time I got out to our usual meeting place at the fountain, I was surprised to see that there weren't as many of my fan-club waiting around to see me. But then, I hadn't had lunch with my friends in over a week. When Zero and Yuuki got there, the brunette automatically hugged me while Zero gave me a nod.

"I have so missed your cooking, Lucy! The food in the cafeteria just can't compare to what you make!" Yuuki said between bites of food.

I couldn't help but giggle. "Thanks, a chef always loves hearing that her talents are appreciated."

After a while, Zero asked the question I knew was coming. "How did things go at with the Association?"

"They tested me to see if I was a threat. Three hunters versus me and I came out on top, didn't exactly help my standing of 'Yes, I'm different but I mean you no harm,' but they were going for kill shots and I wasn't going to just stand there and let them kill me so I could prove that I wasn't a threat."

Yuuki nearly choked on her food while Zero nodded. "Thought so. Anything else?"

"They wanted me to join, I told them 'no.' They wanted to marry me off to a hunter right away, I told them 'hell no.' Then they basically asked me to be a mercenary for hire for them when they really needed someone with my talents, and so long as they don't try to force me to join I'm fine with that."

"The headmaster said that they gave you a peace offering too. What did you get?" Yuuki asked as she continued to eat.

I couldn't help but smile and lean in closer to them. "There was an old store room that no one had been in for a while with relics inside. A box in there called out to me. When I got it back to the dorm, there was entire set of spirit keys inside!"
