~Lucy's Pov~ 

Gray carried Juvia as I was helping Eclair walk down another tunnel Eclair opened up. We soon walked into a place filled with carvings of different types. There was a giant pillar with a tablet of a hand print on it. "We are here" Eclair spoke coughing some blood coming out her mouth. "Eclair" I spoke worried as she was taking deep breaths asking to be put down. I listened putting her next to the wall so she could lean on it. "We need to wake Juvia, she is only needed for a tiny bit then she can rest" Eclair spoke.

Gray looked toward the sleeping hurt girl in his hands and sighed. "Juvia" he spoke as she snuggled her face into Gray's chest getting his cheeks to burn up. I sighed walking over with a limp and flicked her nose getting her to wake up and shout at me to stop being mean. "We gotta do the final spell and save this world so up" I snapped as she groaned as Gray carried her to the pillar. "Lucy much keep touch of the pillar while Juvia holds Lucy's hand, Juvia must feel like the world is worthy to be cured" Eclair spoke before passing out.

I looked toward her worried. "Juvia is ready" Juvia spoke offering me her hand as I took it about to touch the pillar util the ground was shaking badly making us all fall to the ground. Gray still holding Juvia close as she was huddled in his chest. Vines came out the ground grabbed Juvia and Gray pushing them both into the wall as Juvia screamed in pain as she was badly hurt before. Gray was shouting her name as Juvia was passed out some blood coming down her head. "Show yourself coward" I shouted slightly scared.

Soon a man came forward, out of the shadows smirking. 

"The new Priestess of the Stars correct?" he asked as I used what magic I had to heal Juvia

"The new Priestess of the Stars correct?" he asked as I used what magic I had to heal Juvia. The bleeding on her head stopping soon as I started. "Correct" I answered as I noticed Gray had gotten Juvia to wake up making me mentally sigh in relief. She was weak and struggling to stay awake as she was watching me and this unknown while Gray was trying to get free. "I am Mard Geer, you and your friends have broken into my home you see" Mard Geer spoke as a wind current was soon coming into the temple room.

My hair going to the right as Mard Geer's hair was going right as well. His hair was longer than my own. "Well sometimes to save the world you have to sin" I spoke as he laughed slightly at my words as I was still next to the pillar. I was unsure if it was safe for me touch it alone. "I am here to offer you and your sister Juvia a way home" he soon spoke making me freeze up looking toward me as he made a magic seal matching the one me and Juvia was pushed through before. 

There was soon an image in the center of the seal showing out apartment. "You both can go home, I can even offer a spell to remove the mate marks on you both" Mard Geer then spoke as Gray's and Juvia's eyes widen as they looked toward each other as Juvia looked in raged. "JUVIA DOESN'T WANT TO GO HOME OR LOSE GRAY-SAMA!" Juvia shouted loudly her voice echoing around the room as I knew she didn't. "Fine you can stay but you Priestess of The Stars, you want to go home do you not?" Mard Geer asked moving toward me.

He was soon right in front of me his face in my own. I bit my shaking bottom lip unsure what to even reply or do. "You want to go home, forget this world and leave magic behind, I can offer that all you have to do is walk through the seal" he spoke moving behind me, his hands going on my shoulders as I looked at the seal that moved to not be far in front of me. "Once through there you are home, not able to return ever again" Mard Geer whispered in my ear as Juvia was shouting at me not to believe him.

"You don't need this temple, you don't need magic, you are just a simple maid in a cafe" Mard Geer spoke in my ear as something else was happening. I felt a type of magic going inside of me every time he spoke. "Even if you stay you, Priestess of Water and Eclair all have magic partials in you, that is poison to non-demons, you will die in the magic world" Mard Geer soon spoke this time not in my ear. I felt a spell going into me. It was making me want to agree even more. I did want to go home.

I wanted to leave this stupid magic behind but my heart felt different to my thoughts in my mind. My heart wanted to know Natsu more, it making me remember the flit he took me on with Happy. My heart didn't want to leave Juvia. My heart wanted me to help this world. It also wanted to know more about my mother, my family and bloodline. "No, I won't leave Juvia and break my promise" I spoke turned around pushing Mard Geer's hands off me as he sighed shaking his head still smirking.

"She is the only true reason you would stay, you would put yourself in a world of hate and dislike just for her?" he soon asked as my hands turned into fist. "I would do anything to make sure Juvia is safe and happy, she is my last family member" I snapped as Mard Geer put a finger under my chin making me look into his eyes. "Wrong, your mother Layla Heartfilla is alive" he spoke as my eyes widen in shock. "What?" I asked as Juvia was shouting at me not to believe him still.

"She is trapped in a temple, the old Priestess of Water died pushing her into a temple. That is what happens when a Priestess of The Stars and Priestess of Water stick together, the Priestess of Water will always die saving the Priestess of The Stars" Mard Geer answered as my heart was racing worried about Juvia and her safety. The magic still affecting me every time Mard Geer spoke. "Juvia there's a magic spell coming off him, he is using it on Lucy to bring him to his side" Gray spoke worried as Juvia was shouting at me to snap out of it.

She as shouting at loud as she could but I was unsure if I was able to snap out of the spell.
