The celestial goddess

Journey so far

Lucy POV

3 years later (gods time)

I stop running putting my hand on my knees *pant* *pant*. Every month my run gets longer and longer. I run twelve miles each morning as a warm up exercise. at a bench and grab  my towel and wipe the sweat of my face and chest.

My body that was bigger and curvier is now more lean and muscular. My sweaty crop top is cut to expose my newly adorned abs. My pants are simple Capri leggings that emphasize my large calves. I guzzle down some water before pouring the ice cold drink on my head. I then realize the sun was starting to come up and i start to walk to the bath.

Walking out of the Colosseum I walk down a paved out path to my bath house. Once inside I ask a hand maid to start a lavender bath, while I go and undress behind a screen. I take my hair out of the ponytail and let my hair fall down my back. My hair is among many things that have changed physically about me, it's longer and is a lighter blonde practically a white. And at the tips my hair slowly turns to a night sky blue.

On my collar bone, the zodiac signs are tattooed, and they'll start to glow when i summon them. When the bath is drawn and the hand maid left, i step out from behind the screen and step down into the pool like tub. The water is steaming hot as lavender petals float on the surface of the water. I relax my back on the wall of the tub as I think where Laxus and Wendy are now. Last time I heard, Laxus was with Zeus learning to Master lightning and other types of electricity based magic. And Wendy was with the four winds to perfect her wind magic and she left with the muses to learn to channel her wind magic into her voice to create enchanting melodies. And I'm stuck here with lustful gods and vengeful women.

I miss them, especially Wendy. They've helped me through my heartache and pain, supported me at my worst, and for that I am grateful. After about 20 minutes in the bath I finish washing myself. Getting out of the tub I wrap a towel around me and summon Virgo. "Open gate of the maiden, Virgo!!"

"Hime-sama" Virgo says and bows.

"Hello Virgo" I respond. I've gotten used to her calling me 'Princess'.
"Can you bring my ceremonial dress and start packing for the dragon realm" I ask.

"Of course" she says and disappears.  I start to walk to an adjoining room, my bedroom and sit down at my vanity. A few seconds later she came back with my white dress and laid it down on my bed, then grabbed my large suitcases from my closet and started packing.

I get up and put on the long white dress. It has a collared neck and no sleeves so my shoulders down to my elbows are exposed. It trails to my hips then opens up with two slits for my legs. Two strands of beads connect each slit with the middle cloth. With the middle cloth covering the rest of my hips and parts of my leg, the beads hold up clear silk that curls around my figure. And the rest of the dress tails down my back and to the floor(dress above). I look in the mirror and smile, I look beautiful, I wish my mother could see me now. "Hime-sama" I finished packing" she interrupts.

"Thank you, Virgo, could you stay and help me with the accessories?" I ask.

"Yes Hime" she bows and goes to my jewelry box to find something suitable.

"Open, gate of the giant crab, Cancer!!!"

"Baby" *snip* *snip* he says.

"Cancer, could you put my hair in a fishtail braid" I ask.

"Your hair could use a trim, baby" *snip* *snip*
And in a flurry of motions, my hair was pulled back into a fishtail braid, I don't know how but he also put in thirteen diamond-studded star hairpins with each one having a zodiac symbol on them.

"They're beautiful," I say admiring them.

"And for the piece de resistance," he says. In his hands, he has a forehead tiara of beads and a single jewel in the middle. He places it on my forehead and steps back. "Beautiful, baby, " I look in the mirror and gasp. I look stunning.

"Hime, Don't forget your gloves," she says as she hands me my elbow length fingerless gloves. I put them on along with my knee-high boots. I also strap on a silver belt to hold my keys and hide my whip under my dress. "I'm ready," I say taking a deep breath.

"Thank you both, you may go now," I say and they both disappear. When they're gone I walk out of my room and make my way to the ballroom. The ceremony is for every protege under the god's care, meaning Laxus and Wendy will be there. I make it to the ballroom door and open it.........
