Forgive But NEVER Forget

Training in the Celestial World??

Lucy POV

It's been about nine months since I left the guild, but I still can't get Natsu out of my head. It could've been different, but you had to do this to me? Now I am shattered. You couldn't even tell that I was all alone. I still miss you so much, you're on my mind daily. I am always debating to write you a letter or just go back and see you once more.  

Loke said he was planning on going to help Gray with his S-class trials, but he didn't want to leave me. I hope Natsu becomes S-class. That was always his goal for such a long time. I am sure they trained hard too. I already mastered the Star Dress and Celestial Fusion. I also mastered many of the Celestial World Spells, but I have a few that I need the incantation for. I still need to work on magic fluency, and not using too much magic whenever I cast some of the grand star spells.

Well, the trial should be ending now. Maybe I'll train a bit more. I was planning on doing this for my revenge for Natsu's words, but for me, revenge won't take me far. I decided to get stronger for myself and to get stronger to protect everyone I love. That's what mom would be proud of. 

"Lucy, I have a request for you," Loke said. 

"For the last time Loke, I am not going to kiss you," I laughed. 

"Worth a shot. But no, I am here to ask you to stay in the celestial world for about a month."

"Why?"

"First, the King has said that he will train you himself. Second, your magic will be pressured there, so you'll have to get used to using a limited amount of magic to cast spells. Third... I think the King will tell you the third reason himself," he said the last reason by avoiding eye contact.  

"I guess if Mustache-Face has called then I should get going. Don't I need a pair of celestial clothing?"

"Here you go."

I quickly rushed into the bathroom and changed into a green dress. 

"Let's go."

Loke placed his hand on my shoulder, and the surrounding area disappeared and changed into a stary filled sky. The whole place was stunning. There were stars everywhere and Plue like people hid behind the white pillars and there was an enormous walkway. There were many different sized planets filling the sky. 

Loke took my hand and walked me to the King. 

"It's good to see you here my friend," he spoke with a deep voice.

"Same here. I am very thankful for the opportunity to stay here. I am stunned by this amazing scene before me and I am quite thankful for you training me."

"Well, this was all upon the request of all your spirts. I am sure Loke hasn't said a word to you about the third reason for you being here?"

"No, why," I said as I looked at Loke, who was trying to avoid eye contact. 

"During the S-class trials, Fairytail was attacked by the dragon Acnologia. To protect the members on the Island, your first master, Mavis, used one of the grand fairy spells, Fairy Sphere. They will be trapped in the sphere for about 7 years. That is the durability of the spell."

Completely heartbroken that I couldn't do anything for the guild and the news that I just heard, I fell down, bawling my eyes out. Someone touched my back and I looked up to see Aquarius. She picked me up and hugged me tightly. And I kept crying. 

After I couldn't cry anymore, the King said, "We request that you stay here, so you don't have to wait for 7 years for their return. One day here is 3 months in Earthland. Thus, you will continue the remainder of your training here with me." 

"Y-yes."
