Ch.5

Back at the Kaby's mansion, Lucy handed him the book. She stood across the client while Natsu and blue stood behind the couch with their Exceeds. "The composition and style of this book is so awful, that I couldn't believe it's one of Kemu Zaleon's works." she commented.

"So?" questioned Natsu.

"So that's why I thought it contained a secret." she answered.

Kaby took the book with hesitation and confusion. "What's the meaning of this?" he asked. "I'm sure I requested to destroy it." he said.

"Destroying it is a simple task. Even you could do that, Kaby-san." she continued.

His hands shook as he stared at the book. "Then I'll burn it. I can't even stand looking at it." he said.

"I figured out why you can't allow that book to exist. It's to protect your father's honour." said Lucy. "You're Kemu Zaleon's son, right?" she asked, causing Natsu and Happy to gasp. Blue and blossom  watched the scene silently.

"How do you know that?" asked Kaby.

"Have you read this book?" she asked.

"No, but I don't need to. It's a poor work. My father said so himself." he said.

"Is that why you want to burn it?" asked Natsu angrily as he took a step forward.

"That's right!" replied Kaby.

Natsu snapped. He went towards him and held him up by the collar. "Burning it just because it's a poor work isn't reason enough! Your dad wrote that book!" he yelled.

Lucy held her arm out between them and pushed the pink haired boy away from the client. "Natsu, I told you, didn't I?" she asked. "It's to protect his honour!" she shouted.

Blue went up to him and gently placed her hands on his shoulders. "Natsu." she said his name comfortingly. The said boy snapped his head to look at her. She gave him an understanding look, which managed to calm him down. She understood what he felt. Igneel had left him, just like how ryuu did. But before he disappeared, her foster father told her not to lash out her anger whenever there was a problem between a child and their father, which she successfully did.

"Yes, he was ashamed for writing Daybreak." said Kaby. "31 years ago..." he trailed off as he began the story. After three years if imprisonment, Kemu returned to his house to find his son. He decided to never write a book again and cut off his own arm. At the hospital, Kaby confronted him for writing the book and for leaving his family. Shortly after that, Kemu committed suicide, leaving an angry son. "But as the days passed, the grudge turned into regret." continued Kaby. "However... Even though I want to apologize to him, he was already... At the very least I wanted to destroy this last and worst book of his, in order to protect my father's honour." he took out a match and lit it up. "And now, my father will be..." he trailed off, not bothering to finish his sentence.

"You're wrong!" stated Lucy with a hand on her hip. Natsu turned around with confusion when the flame of the match was blown out. "It's begun!" she said.

Suddenly, the book glowed with a bright purple light. "What's going on?!" questioned Kaby, shielding his eyes from the bright light. A giant purple magic circle appeared and disappeared. The words 'DAYBREAK' floated above its position

"Kemu Zaleon... No, his real name was Zekua Melon." began Lucy. "He cast a spell on that book." she said.

"A spell?" repeated Kaby. The words rearranged to form 'DEAR KABY', even the author's name rearranged from 'KEMU ZALEON' to 'ZEKUA MELON'. "Dear Kaby..." he read out loud.

"Yeah, to his beloved Kaby." she said with a smile as all of them looked at the glowing book floating in midair. "He cast a spell that repositions the letters! Every single one of them!" she shouted as words appeared in the form of films, rearranging the words.
