Chapter Eighteen: See You Later

Lucy's P.O.V

I lay'd on my bed early the next morning staring at the ring on my left hand.

I'm engaged.

To Leo the Lion

It's not terrible but it could be better. I only wish we didn't have to act like a couple in front of everyone. It feels so wrong and I know that it's going to hurt Aires. 

But I guess I have to do it.

It's my last day here in the Dragon Realm. I'm coming back but that's only after all of my training in the Celestial Kingdom and with the Gods and Demons. I am so excited to learn all of this new magic, but I've only just gotten my mother back and I won't be seeing her for basically another three years... It's sad and disappointing but I've got to do it.

I sigh and stretch my arms. I look over at the clock and it's only seven o'clock, a bit later in the day then I thought. I get up off of my bed and go into the bathroom to have a shower. After my shower I get dressed into a black skirt and pink singlet, then slipped into some brown boots that went just above my ankle. I put my belt on and then hocked my keys onto it. 

As I was tying my hair into low ponytails, I heard a nock at the door.

"Come in." I said to who ever was behind the door.

"Good morning Lucy. Don't you look lovely." Igneel said as he entered my bedroom.

"Oh, good morning to you too Igneel. I wasn't expecting it to be you at the door, I thought it was going to be Stella." I greeted, finishing off my ponytails.

"Stella is currently having breakfast down stairs. So I thought I would come and get you instead." Igneel replied.

"That doesn't bother me. Are we going down for breakfast?" I asked.

"Yes we are. Your mother is waiting for us so we best get a move on." He answered.

I nodded and walked through my bedroom door with Igneel following behind. We entered the kitchen and saw that stella was reading something on her clipboard and that my mother was sitting at the head of the table.

"Ah, good morning Lucy. how was your sleep?" My mother asked.

"Good morning mum and I slept just fine. How about you?" I asked.

"A little restless, but overall it was a good sleep." Mum replied.

"Thats good then. Now what are we having for breakfast?" I asked, as I sat down to the seat on my mother's left, Igneel sitting across from me.

"Bacon and eggs with toast." I heard Stella reply.

"Sounds good." I said.

My mother asked one of the butlers to bring our breakfast out. When the food finally reached the table we all dug in. After we finished our breakfast, another butler brought out some tea for all of us.

"So, Lucy." My mother said as she took a seep of her tea. "Are you excited for tomorrow?"

"Yeah, a little. I'm just a bit disappointed that I don't get to spend more time with you." I say as I bow my head over my tea cup.

"It's okay sweetheart... We will be together after your training. We'll have all the time in the world." She replied.

"Mum?.. I have a question.." I say to my mother.

"What is it?" She asks.

"When my training is over, will I ever be able to return to Magnolia?" I asked, finally looking up from my cup.
