Caged Dragon

Chapter 10

(Lucy POV)

I felt the wind in my hair as I rode on Natsu's back, it felt amazing. I missed flying with Natsu, I missed flying in general. I guess being stuck in an underground prison shows you how much you can miss things.

"We are going to land in a bit, we need to get supplies and other things," I heard Natsu tell me, he started to fly downward, and he landed in a clearing.

"I guess this will give me a chance to see what those men did to my spirits," I told Natsu as I got off of his back, and I reached for the bag that he was holding. I heard in the background the thumps of the other dragons landing in the clearing as well. After placing the bag on the ground, I pulled my key ring from the makeshift belt that I had on my hip.

"Which one are you going to summon first?" Wendy asked me, I looked at my keys and then around the clearing, and I spotted a river.

"I am going to summon Aquarius and Virgo first," I told her, I hope that Aquarius isn't too mad at me doing this but I want to check on her first, so she doesn't have to worry about me summoning her later. I took the two keys from the ring and walked over to the river, Wendy following behind me.

"Open Gate of the Water Bearer, Gate of the Maiden, Aquarius, Virgo," I chanted and the two spirits appeared.

"Why did you summon me, brat?" Aquarius asked me, her insult lacking its usual bite.

"I wanted to check on you two, to see what those men did to you," I explained. The mermaid gave me her arm and I looked at the blue scales that were sprouting from her arms and torso. The m on her collarbone was more detailed than I had remembered it being. I looked at her forehead and saw that the headband that she used to wear was gone, I looked down at her tail and saw there were silver swirls decorating it. I turned to Virgo and noticed that she looked the same as before, there were small differences like the fact that her hair was longer than it used to be and her eyes looked more determined than before. I looked at the chains that were on her wrist, they weren't their usual color, no instead they were stellanium.

"Are you done, brat," Aquarius asked me, I nodded my head, and before Aquarius went back to the Celestial Spirit World, I asked her to tell the other spirits to come and show me their changes when they can.

"Virgo, can you help clean this bag," I asked the maid spirit and she nodded her head. Suddenly there was a burst of wind from behind me, I turned around, and there was a little girl with blue hair with pink and blue feathers poking out of it.  She was wearing a feathery blue dress, I reached into the bag and pulled out a white bracelet and handed it to the girl. "Here you go, Wendy," I told the dragonling in human form and she took the bracelet and put it on her arm, showing me her tiny claws as she did.

"I am so happy to be free, Lucy," Wendy told me, she ran and gave me a hug, wrapping her arms around my neck.

"Come and help Virgo and I clean this bag, it smells like rotten fish," I told her, and she helped me pull out the rest of the things inside. I dumped the rotting fish and the spoiled kiwi into the river. I picked up the spare clothes and started to try and clean the fish smell out of them. Wendy picked up the scarf, earring, and other accessories that belonged to the dragons and started to carefully wash them as well, while Virgo carefully cleaned the books and other things in the bag.

(Kinana POV)

We arrived back at Fairy Tail, I walked over to the bar to talk to Mira.

"Kinana, where were you, you disappeared and I was so worried about you?" she asked me, worried about my disappearance.

"I found someone that I haven't seen for a long time," I told her smiling, Master walked over to the stage and cleared his throat.

"Brats, I have an announcement to make," Master shouted, the guild went silent so he could speak. "As you know I left with Freed to help Erza and her team on a mission. It was to investigate sounds that were coming from a house in the woods, we found that the cause of those sounds was a pack of dragons that was being held captive under the house."
