After wandering for hours, they had finally found what they were looking for. They were only steps

away from their objective.

“That’s it! The Staff of the Ancients,” Lucy said happily.

The staff was placed firmly on a pedestal. Lucy ran towards the object, but was pushed to the side

by some kind of force.

“Lucy!” Loke yelled as he ran to her side.

“Show yourself!”

“I’ll be taking the staff,” said a voice coming from the darkness.

A young man with black hair and green eyes came into view. He had a beautiful looking face, and

wore a punk style of clothing.

“That staff belongs to the villagers,” Lucy declared. “Who exactly are you?”

“My name is Logan, and I’ll be the one leaving this cave with that staff.”

Lucy was about to speak up again, but was shocked when the man named Logan took out two

silver keys.

“Gate of the Hunter, Orion!”

“Gate of the Chained Lady, Andromeda!”

Two celestial spirits appeared instantly. Orion was a man full of golden armor. His appearance

looked almost like a gladiator. He wore a helmet that covered every part of his face except for his

eyes, while he also carried a sword. Lucy noticed that this spirit looked very intimidating, and had a

glare that could pierce someone’s soul. The spirit to the right of Orion was a woman with dark

purple hair. She reminded Lucy of Virgo, since she also had shackles around her wrists. However,

this celestial spirit had chains all over her body and a huge chain ball around her ankle. Loke

immediately got defensive, and went in front of Lucy.

“Why do you want the staff?” Loke questioned looking serious.

“It’s really none of your business. I have my reasons, and you have yours.”

Lucy knew that Loke couldn’t fight both of these celestial spirits alone. She had to call another one

of her spirits to help him.

“Open Gate of the Goat, Capricorn!” she shouted.

A goat-like being wearing black sunglasses and a tuxedo covering the top half of his torso,

appeared before them.

“What is it that you need Lucy?” Capricorn asked.
