The Bookworm is a Dragon Slayer

Chapter 3

Levy P.O.V

"Dragon apocalypse?!" Lucy asked in a terrified whisper. I nodded. "When the dragons went back they sealed the Dragon Gate, trying to keep the other dragons in the dragon realm. The seal on the gate has been broken, and now I have to go and seal it again." I said quietly as I stood. "Why do you have to seal it?" Gajeel asked. I looked at him, and I felt that pull I always did when I saw him, a pull deep within my heart. "That's what Tsundera wanted. That's why she told me about the gate, so I could learn the spell. But i havnt found the location of the gate yet."

Lucy stood. "We'll help you!" I blinked at her and then Natsu patted my shoulder. "If there's a chance of seeing Igneel, you can count on me to be there." I smiled as one and then another of my friends stepped forward lending their hand to help. "Levy, you keep hunting for the gate. We will repair the guild, and once you've found it inform me." I nodded and smiled. "Alright brats! Let's get to work!" the master shouted, followed by 'Aye sir!' I hurried to the library to continue my search. I don't know how long I was hunched over my pile of books before I heard someone walk up behind me. I sniffed lightly and caught the scent of vanilla and honey. "Hey Lu-chan" I said without looking.

"Any luck?" I sighed and shook my head, rubbing my eyes. She pulled the book away from me and stole my gale force glasses. " 'When the voices meet the keys, only then will the gate be opened.' What does that mean? There's not even a hit of a location." I laid my head on the table. "Exactly." I groaned. She took a turn to read through the books. "Hey Lu-chan, think Grandpa Crux would know?" She perked up and smiled. "That's a great idea!"

She got up, pulling the key from her belt. "Open Gate Of The Southern Cross: Crux!" A bell chimed as the old celestial appeared. "Hello Lucy-sama. What can I help you with?" "Crux, can you look up anything about the Dragons Gate?" We expected him to close his eyes but instead he looked down at her. "Why do you need to know Lucy-sama?" she frowned a little and motioned to me. "We are trying to find it so we can seal it." he sighed a little.

"The Dragon Gate is not here on Earthland." We gasped. "What?" He nodded. "The Dragon Gate is a one way path from the Dragon Realm to this human realm. There is only one way to get there from here. A celestial wizard and at least one dragon slayer are needed. The more dragon slayers, the stronger the portal." I thought for a minute than gasped. "We have to roar while she's opening a key don't we?" He smiled at me. "Close but not quiet. There is a spell to create a portal using the keys, and while that portal forms you roar, and it connects with the dragon realm." "What is the spell Crux?"

"Place all of the golden keys in a circle and speak the words 'Illustre stelle viam vestram, et ad regnum, qui nati sunt ex amet elit.' " I thought. "May the stars guide your path, to the realm of those who were born of dreams and magic?" he nods. "Thank you Crux." he nods before disappearing. Lucy grinned at me. "Well let's go!"

Gajeel P.O.V

I was helping put steel beams as supports for the roof when I saw the shrimp and bunny girl run up to the master. As I watched the blue haired girl I felt that pull, deep in my heart,that I always felt when I saw her. I walked over to her as she talked to the master.

"Any news short stuff?" I asked as I stood over her. She looked up and grinned at me, making my heart pound faster. "We found a way to the dragon realm. The Dragons Gate is there." I nodded. "Who all is going?" I asked, crossing my arms. "Well all of us dragon slayers need to go for sure, and Lucy. Master,who do you want us to take?" He thought for a moment. "Well from what you've said, more dragons are sure to appear now that the seal is broken." she nodded. "We will need to keep Erza and Mirajane here so they can hold off any that come. Take Gray and Juvia with you. Think that will be enough?" Again she nodded.

"Then go round them up and get ready to leave." She ran off to start gathering those going with us. I went to grab Lily who was helping Salamander and Laxus. "Come on guys, we're leaving." "She found it already?" I nodded. We all gathered in the small field in front of the guild. "Go ahead and set them up Lu-chan." Lucy began setting her gold keys in a circle on the grass while Levy turned to us." When she speaks the spell we all need to roar as the golden pillar appears. That will open the portal." We nodded.

Lucy stood back as she held her hands towards her keys and closing her eyes."Illustre stelle viam vestram, et ad regnum, qui nati sunt ex amet elit." The keys began to glow and the air around us swirled. A golden light shot into the air and we all took a deep breath.

"Iron Dragons,"

"Fire Dragons,"

"Water Dragons,"

"Sky Dragons,"

"Lightning Dragons,"

"ROAR!" we shouted. The spells collided with the golden light, forcing us all back slightly. The light then morphed and shifted, slowly changing into the shape of a large door way. The colors swirled in blue,grey,red,white and yellow. Levy walked towards the door as Lucy picked up her keys.

"I want you all to keep this in mind." Levy said as she turned to us. "There is no guarantee our dragons are alive. Most of the dragons here, will try to kill us. The dragons who wanted to live in peace with humans were easily out number by the others. And Wolves War may have found a way there." She said in a serious tone. As I looked at her, I could see the timid, weak girl was gone. A powerful mage stood before us. A Fairy Tail mage who could hold her own against the coming storm.

I walked forward and rested my hand on her shoulder. "Come on shrimp, serious doesn't suit you." I said with a smirk. She smiled, a beautiful soft smile. I knew in that moment I would follow her to the depths of hell if I had to. She turned towards the door and took a deep breath before walking through the wall of magic, disappearing from view. I followed her into the void.
