The Thunder Kings Girl (BOOK 2)

Part 17

Laxus
When Luke came in I was laughing as he was trailing behind him a mortified pair of duo dragon slayers who were with unhinged jaws causing me to laugh like a lunatic as Luke tossed them to Natsu who caught them with ease setting them down as a table while I was waiting for Lucy, however she didn't come in for fifteen minutes and could sense that Luke was worried to because he got up as well as their parents and began to look around confused so in return I got up trying to find her before I heard a shrill scream which I already knew.

My feet quickly carried me out finding after a ten minute walk at the source of it all. My jaw was tense to say the least as I could smell her blood instead of the monster she killed on the job not to mention there were mingling scents around here that had a strong magical power as well as one could say the smell of something human and yet not human. There was fear in me for good reason as I saw that Zeref himself, who was holding Mavis, looked at the scene in rage. Whatever did this made him mad and he was not fun to deal with mad.

"Who. Did. This." He and I looked at each other as I asked him that knowing that he knew. If he had less of a look of rage then I did then he knew who was responsible for this and oh was I mad at that fact. Honestly I don't know if he didn't know this would happen or he expected it, but whatever the case? I want Lucy back this very instant. Someone as cowardice to attack someone when they aren't able to be seen is no more than a bug if anything else in the retrospect of honor. Wizards are supposed to have honor but there is some times when we throw it out so in this case I think that it's okay for me to throw it out.

"My guess are the upper beings of magic. Most of the gods we know have a separate section of the powers. One's life which is why we live. There is also the whole thing with the powers each holds. Lucy is the goddess of magic meaning that well she has much more than any other god. I wanted to train her and make her strong because like the last god people are after her powers as well as her life which is bad since she can only give away her powers to the person she chooses to take as her apprentice so we just have to hope she's not dumb enough to though I don't think she would. She's a smart girl and I already explained to her the principal upon which she is trained for, the principal that she mastered. I just don't know how much time we have before they try to find a different way to extract that power." As soon as he said that we all went silent. "There is a way, but it's extremely painful and not a lot if any have survived it. It's that damaging to a person whose only had the role for a year! She's had it for almost twenty-two now. If she goes through it she'll die because her system relies on that magic to keep her alive and on the principal of her being as powerful as she is." My eyes pinched shut. "You're welcome to come with me, but I need to head home and find a way into the realm of the gods and no I can't use Luke. Of all realm users? No one can use the gods grotto realm portal without a god present to administer help. Anyone who wants to come is welcome though I suggest that someone stay to watch the guild and make it seem normal here." I looked at gramps who sighed.

"I'll temporarily take over. Team Natsu, Thunder Legion, Mira, Lisanna, Wendy, Gajeel, Juvia, Levy, Cana, and Elfman. You are all going. They'll need your help if your going up against gods of all creatures in the realms." We nodded swiftly heading out with Luke and his parents though Mavis seemed scared as she clutched Zeref.

"I'm scared Zeref. I lost her once. I can't go through that again." Zeref stroked her hair as a few of us listened in while Luke hung his head.

"And it won't. I won't let her get that far over again. She doesn't even remember it so the trigger shouldn't be much of a problem just yet." He sighed. "There are some major things you need to know before we go into this. Lucy as you know her has a real name. Luciana. As a young girl she loved exploring as they learned to speak and walk when they were only two. We knew that something was off with her. There was something dark inside of her. A demon more strong than even my strongest creation and he is believed to be the strongest which shows you her powers. We call her demon Aella. Her demon is cruel and vicious. It has no heart. When she was younger she was in an event where a criminal was bullying Luke. Since she didn't have good control her demon came out and took over not before removing Luke so he wouldn't get hurt. We aren't in any danger because she knows us but her demon may not know you. She killed a man. Brutally, without remorse, and full of fury. You must not let it be triggered! It's near impossible to get her back and if we can't? We'll have to kill her. She can't be let loose when she's in such a form. It would mean the end of everything we know since she's been topped off with the powers of a god. The trigger is when someone in her family is hurt in front of her. Don't let her see us getting hurt if we do. It's the rule we have set while on this mission. Do you understand?" Everyone was silent but nodded. "Good. Because you'll need these as well as some quick training if you want to learn to gain the powers of a God Slayer." As soon as he opened the doors we were greeted by walls full of weapons.

"You always were prepared for this Zer. I give you respect on that." Mavis pecked his cheek while my hands traveled to a sword with a most electrifying aura literally it was giving off electricity.

"So it choose you huh. Treat it with care. It's not often a weapon as rare as that let's someone like you handle it." We all looked at Zeref for an explanation.
