Guilt and Regret

The Book Of Elements

*with Juvia and Lucy*-Three days later in Swindincote

"Ahh finally here! I've never been a fan of trains before, it feels great to be in Swindincote." Juvia said while stretching her arms. "Yeah, same. I found a map of this town and the Sapphire library isn't far from the capital. The capital is just a 10-minute walk from the train station too." Lucy said while showing the map. "Well let's start walking!" Juvia said while clapping her hands. The two girls set off to go to the Sapphire Library.

*About 30 MInutes Later*

"YAY WE MADE IT!" Lucy said while jumping up and down. "I see why they called it the 'Sapphire Library', its almost all blue!" Juvia said while looking at the beautiful blue roof. "Come on! Let's go!" Lucy said while grabbing Juvia by the arm. Once they went inside, the two were amazed at all the books. There were hundreds of shelves of books and almost everything from the shelves to the tables and even the chairs, were a sapphire blue. "IT'S SO PRETTY!!!!" Lucy squeals, "COME ON, LET'S GO TO THE MAGIC SECTION!" When they arrived at the magic section, they were amazed to find books about almost every magic type and even some they've never heard about. They were quick to find the book about their magic type. "Did you find your book, Lucy?" Juvia asked while holding a blue book, probably about water magic. "Yup, let's go and sign them out," Lucy said as she and Juvia starting to walk towards the front desk when suddenly, a bright light shone.

The two girls immediately looked towards the light to see that the source, was a book. the girls both walked to the book and read the title, "Book of Elements", Juvia got curious and opened the book, suddenly blue, green, red and white lights shot out of the book "What is happening?!" Juvia said. "Look! we're in a Magic Barrier!" Lucy said as she pointed at the Magic Barrier. "Do not be afraid Juvia Locksar and Lucy Heartfillia." a voice said, "How do you know our names?" Lucy said, "I know everything, my child. My name is Elementasia, (Pronounced L-lee-men-TAE-sha) I am the guardian of this book. It is my job to choose two wizards to learn the ancient power, Elemental Magic. You two have been chosen. I can see the pain your hearts, but I can also see that you are very determined, selfless, kind and have a big heart. Lucy my dear, you are very much like your mother, I was actually going to pick her, but then she passed." Elementasia said. Elementasia was a beautiful young woman with green hair and flowed like the wind. She wore a flower crown with blue, green, red and white roses on her head. Her eyes were multicoloured with every colour of the rainbow.

Lucy and Juvia looked shocked. "WHAT!!!!" Lucy yelled. Juvia immediately covered her mouth. "Shhhh Lucy, we're in a Library remember?" Juvia said. "It's okay, the Magic Barrier around us blocks any sound, in fact, people can't even see us right now," Elementasia said in a calm voice. "I will explain more to you eventually but, for now, I need you to take my book and go to the Jade Forest, their I will train you. Goodbye for now." As she finished, she disappeared along with the Magic Barrier. Lucy and Juvia looked at each other, "Should we do it?" Juvia asked. Lucy thought for a moment, then she said "This could help us get revenge on those idiots at Fairy Tail. I'm going." "If you go, I go too!!" Juvia said. Lucy turned to Juvia and smiled. Lucy noticed something on the book, it was a note. "I change to cover of the book so only you can see it's true form. -Elementasia. " Lucy and Juvia then went to the front desk to sign them out. Once they were done with that, they went off to find The Jade Forest.

"She could have at least said where to meet her, this forest is huge!" Lucy said. "I agree, I'm really tired and my bags are heavy." Juvia complained, "Oh look, there's and river over there, let's stop to get some water." "Good idea," Lucy said while running towards the river, Juvia following close behind her. Lucy and Juvia were about to put their hands in the lake when a bright light appeared and Elementasia arose from the water. "Good, you have found the Turquoise river. This river is my resting place, other than in the book." Juvia raised an eyebrow and asked, "I see a trend in this town, all the monuments are named after a precious stone." Elementasia smiled, "Indeed, this town is said to be built on top of a cavern filled with many precious stones, no one knows if it's true though. Now I'm sure you two are eager to learn about elemental magic, correct?" Lucy and Juvia both noded. Elementasia continued.

"As I said before, it is an ancient magic, you two are the 16th pair to learn it. Elemental magic has 2 types, Element-Make; much like any normal Maker-Magic, but you can control more than 1 attribute and it is much more powerful, and Element Control; much like its name, you can control any of the four elements in your eye-sight. You two will learn both." Lucy and Juvia looked excited, "How long will it take to learn?" Lucy asked. Elementasia thought for a moment. "Well, it takes about 4 years to learn it completely, 2 years for each, and an additional 3 years to master all the elements, so 7 years total. Is that fine?" Lucy nodded, "It's okay, we will just write to our old Master every month or so." Elementasia nodded, "I can also help you with your current magic as well, you can still use your current magic while also using Elemental Magic." "Ooh, I'm so excited now!" Juvia said while clapping her hands. "Well, let's begin shall we?"

Lucy and Juvia then spend the next 7 years training with Elementasia.
