Celestial Dragon: Hide and Seek (B2) (On Hold)

11

Sorry for the long wait.

Date 2: Picnic 

Breathe in,

Feel the cold wind across your cheeks.

Take hold of every thought yo have and settle them,

And exhale.

Release all the toxic thoughts and ideas from your mind.

No good will come from them.

Finally, open your eyes.

Darkness is the first thing I see before my vision was suddenly exploded with light. Millions of stars shoot past me in streaks of color making me gasp. The phantom of their heat passed through me and I couldn't help myself from reaching out, as if touch them. Small whispers filled my ears as they spoke to me, comforting me with love and symbols in a different language. I breathed a small laugh as I felt myself float off, chasing after them as they beckoned me to follow. Suddenly, they all stop, no whispers, and no lights. They felt still, and as if they were looking the same direction in awe and fear towards something. Heat tickled my back and I felt myself tense. I felt amusement wafer off of it and couldn't help but turn and breathe out a small gasp of awe, similar to the stars.

A large star was behind me. It so blue that it was almost black. I felt respect for it, respect that I never felt before. Bowing deeply to it, I felt it give off a small pulse of heat, a warning telling me that there was no need. I blushed and stopped bowing. A hint of curiosity pinging into me and I found myself floating towards it. It laughed as I brushed my hand against its fiery mane and jumped back. Another smile was brought to my face as it teased me gently, letting me come close before jumping back at moment. I started giving it a chase laughing but paused as I felt a tug. It paused too, and pulsed a small sadness.

It was time to go. The whispered to me in it's ancient language. I frown and reach out one more time, this time, it let me touch it, as it ingulfed me in it's soft flames. Holding me, as if it could protect me, as if it were begging me not to go. I chocked on a sob and opened my mouth in apologies, but nothing came out. I went to take a breathe in but found no air entering my lungs. I panicked slightly as I struggled to pull in a breathe, my lungs burning as nothing entered and my vision became dark, the last thing I remember is the star hushing me to sleep.

"-y!..... cy!......-ucy! ...LUCY!"

My body moved before I could respond, letting out a spring of magic from my mouth as my eyes snapped open. There were a few shouts and a crash and I slowly let off my attack. I blinked out the blurriness out of my eyes and rubbed them. I looked around me at the damaged and found myself in a field but a large get stream of scorched grass leading to the forest were it busted though multiple trees and kept going out of sight. I cringed and took another look around and saw Natsu, Happy, Avery, and Violet all gaping at me. I flushed and looked away for a moment away in embarrassment. I haven't had an accident like this since I learned about my mother.

Natsu was the first  to respond. Running over and checking me over to look for any injuries. I smile kindly at him as he dragged his hand gently down my side. He paused before dragging me into a strong hug with a sigh of relief. I hugged back in confusion and watched the others walk over (Fly for Avery and Happy). I thought back to what happened before and got flooded with memories. We were training to control our emotion to help Natsu stop having sudden bursts of emotion that causes him to catch everything on fire.

"Um." I hesitated for a moment, should I try to explain myself? "I'm sorry?" Oh gods why did that turn into a question. Violet shook her head in disappointment and Avery face-pawed. Natsu only responded with tightening the hug. Happy looked at me with big watery eyes and opened his paws as if ready for a hug. I rotated my wrist in a motion for him to come. He immediately jumped into it, struggling but scooting in between us. We stood like that for a moment, just holding each other.
