Lost & Found

Ch. 4

Never realized how tired I could get from a few months of travel. Right now I'm in the outskirts of Hargeon and lets just say that I'm starving. Sure I've been taking jobs and such to pay for food it's just that I never get enough.

I've always met a few bandits and such, that always gave me practice and I've been training none stop to make my body stronger.

You won't believe how difficult it is just to summon a Zodiac Spirit. A Zodiac can take up more Magic energy than you think so it's possible for us wizards to die or have a Magic Attack. I never told any of my comrades this because they will probably stop me from using it then.

But now I can summon 3 without fainting and now I unlocked the Capricorn Star dress which is just a business suit with heels, sunglasses, and my hair in a fishtail braid down my back. I mean my powers are hand to hand combat at fast paces but that's about it.

I've also gotten a lot strong physical wise. I can withstand a whole lot more attacks coming at me and attack harder than before. I'm proud of what I've accomplished so far down this road but I'm still depressed about Aquarius.

Actually I started walking around the outskirts just to run into Crime Sorcière, which is made up of Jellal, Meredy, and the old Oracion Seis.

"Oh hey guys good to see you well after the war." I say and they nod, Jellal coming up to me. "Hello, Lucy, how have you been?" He looks at me strangely and I know why. He wonders why I'm by myself.

"Pretty good just a little hungry."

"Why? Don't they serve food at Fairytail?" He asks and I sigh dragging him away from the rest of the group and look at him. "Yes but just recently I have taken a vacation."

They was some clear confusion in his face. "What?! Why?"

"I- I just needed to look for something I've lost... A key I lost..."

He looks at my keys, "Aquarius right?" I nodded. "What happened."

"It happened 2 years ago. Everyone was stuck in that Alegria stuff and I was the only one there. The only way I could win was to summon the Spirit King. But, summoning him comes with a great price... A golden key that you have a strong relationship to." I mumble and not mention the rest. He got it and nodded.

"Wow the King, impressive but I hope you find her soon because I'm betting your guild mates worry about you..." He said. "Yeah I'm hoping that too. Well, you should get going don't want to slow you down or anything..."

"It's alright we need to set up camp anyway, you can join us." Jellal looked over at me and I nodded and mumbled a simple sure as I walked over to the rest of them. I talked to Angel about her sister, Yukino, and also about why she gave up Celestial magic when there are only a known total of 3 of us now. All she said is that she wanted to do Angel magic to become an angel so I didn't really talk about much else.

Also Meredy kept on asking questions about Juvia and how she's doing. All I said was that she was alright and still obsessing over Gray. She laughed at that of course.

Lastly I talked with Jellal and how things are going with their independent guild. He also asked me about a certain Red headed Mage and my guild. After that I went asleep and woke up leaving a note and started my search at the next town down.
