Celestial Being [Discontinued]

Chapter 5

It had been a year since the Magic Council met the infamous blonde from Fairy Tail, and ever since that first encounter with her punishing Erza, Gray, and Natsu in front of them they had been trying to get the girl to come to them to answer some questions but everytime they tried she made them feel her magic energy at its max. The more they continued to become pests the more they would regret it, it took Yajima an old friend of Makarov's to finally convince them to leave the girl alone less they want to feel her wrath. Makarov had told Yajima that he had promoted the girl to SSS-Class six months after the S-Class incident on Monster Island taking Yajima by surprise. It had been a long time since anyone in a guild had been promoted to SSS-Class; Gildarts wasn't an exception because he's SS-Class but then it again the girl deserved it because hell she was a powerful mage. Something told the old man that if her and Gildarts fought each other it would either end in a draw or there would be no victor at all. Thinking about it made him cringe.

Speaking of Lucy said girl was in her house right now while Brandish was at the guild hanging out with Erza and Mira; the three of them have grown quite close over the years, all three of them managed get their own titles too. For Mira she was known as "She-Devil," for Erza she was known as "Titania," and for Brandish she was known as "Country Demolisher." The reason for this is because she managed to shrink an entire city to throw off some bandits that were trying to rob the people there. After she took care of them she set the city back to its original state therefore earning her title. Most people believed that she had destroyed the city with a single touch but she merely shrunk to protect the people that lived there.

Lucy looked out her window noticing that the sun was setting right now and decided to head to the guild all on her own for once, stepping out of her house and walking out of the forest path she sensed a familiar presence watching her, "Haven't seen you in awhile...Mystogan."

There was movement from behind the trees and a boy with the same blue hair, face, and red mark as Jellal stepped out staring at her, but unlike Jellal's manipulative look this boy was different. His was always filled with kindness but today seemed different, "That's quite the face your making, something troubles you no doubt."

He continued to stare at her, "I never got the chance to ask you the first time you brought me to the guild, but I think I should now."

Lucy looked up at the orange sky, "Is that so? And what might that be I wonder?"

He stepped a little closer to her but was still a good few feet away, "What are you?"

She closed her eyes then tilted her head to the side opening them, "Unlike your counterpart you ask rather politely. Does it have something to do with your upbringing?"

"Yes," he nodded, "And I would appreciate it if you didn't change the subject."

"I'm doing no such thing you brat," she brought out her book, "Would you like to get hit?"

He stiffened, "That won't be necessary." He had heard from those of the guild how she would smack them with her book and how hard it hurt, even though her hits were held back.

She put it away and sighed walking over to a tree sitting cross-legged in front of it, "Sit." She commanded. He walked over to her sitting next to the blonde, "You asked me what I am...I suppose if you anything you can call me an immortal being who was once a normal human."

Mystogan didn't seem surprised by this because he had a sneaky suspicion that she was immortal because she hadn't aged a day. She looked the same, as when she brought him and the three dragon slayers to the guild all those years ago, "How did you become what you are now?"

She closed her eyes, "That is a story for another time...for now I'd rather not speak of it."

"I understand," he nodded, "Can you tell me how long you've been frozen in time?"
