Together

Chapter 5

The four sat in the cafe, the morning sun still rising as the waiter brought them their drinks. With a curt nod, the waiter dismissed himself and returned back to the counter. It was early in the morning and not many people had gathered in the cafe yet.

"Lucy Heartfilia, daughter of Layla Heartfilia and Jude Heartfilia, known to the world as just a celestial mage," Lucy started off. "That, you guys are aware of, right?"

The three nodded.

"That's right. The Lucy that was introduced to us when she first arrived was but a celestial mage," Carla replied.

Lucy smiled. "As you guys might already know, I'm not just a celestial mage. My first identity was the creator of magic, the absolute ruler that overlooks the balance of all dimensions, including this one. Everything that you see now originates back to the first thing I created. The world."

Widening their eyes in shock, they held back their tongues as Lucy continued to explain.

"Seeing the expressions on your faces, you three must be quite surprised," Lucy said, chuckling. "The numerous worlds I created were granted magic and by using that, life was given to the world. As for this world, I offered an unlimited amount of magic which is why we have mages and wizards right now. So, you can basically say that I can almost use any type of magic."

"So that explains why you were able to cast that magic that night," Carla said. "Go on."

Lucy nodded, grateful. "I've been through numerous lives in which each time my memories and my body are reincarnated with it. Thus, I'm able to retain this infinite amount of magic within me. From mages to exceeds to even dragons, everything was my creation. Even the gods that control the other universes...they're all under my rule. Though I'm known with other identities elsewhere in this world, in Fiore, I'm known as the first of the ten wizard saints. Though, not many know of this since I barely show myself to the world anymore," Lucy added the last part with a nervous laugh.

The three sat there, taking in and absorbing all the information that Lucy had just told them.

"So...in other words...you're like a deity or something similar along the lines of a goddess," Lily verified.

"That's right," Lucy replied.

"And in Fiore, you're one of the ten wizard saints," Happy repeated, wording his words carefully as to not make a mistake.

"Correct."

"But that doesn't explain why you hid everything from everyone!" Carla yelled, slamming the table.

The waiters turned to look at them and seeing the commotion that she had caused, Carla apologized and sat back down. She looked towards Lucy once again, this time with confusion and concern reflected in her eyes.

"If you are the Creator, you could've stood up to Fairy Tail anytime," Carla said. "Why didn't you do so? With your powers, Fairy Tail would've been lying on the ground cold in one second flat."

"That's right, Lucy," Happy added. "Why didn't you?"

Lucy looked down at the table, her eyes sad and pitiful. "My memories were sealed at that time," she said. "Being a Creator and an ultimate being isn't as powerful and easy as it sounds. We can still die, we're not immortal."

"So...what happened that caused your memories to be sealed?" Lily asked, taking a sip out of his kiwi smoothie.

"In so many of my lives, to the point where I lost count, I was persecuted for possessing infinite magic. Some of them were scared and feared me, others wanted to use me, while others wanted to perform experiments on me," Lucy said, grief and misery written all over her face. "At that time, my celestial spirit friends were the only people I could count on and each time, we had to run to a different area only to be persecuted once again. In the life before this, tired of seeing me running, Loki decided to place a memory seal on me before I got reincarnated."
