Fairy Tail and the Light Sword

Chapter 10

"Holy sugar honey iced tea" Lucy mumbled as she stared, dumbfounded at the scenery in front of her. Who wouldn't be if they were standing in front of a castle? The first few years of Lucy's life were full of nothing but Luxury. So why should she be so amazed? To put it simply, the sight before her was just too beautiful. The castle was like a huge diamond. There were many crystals that varied by shape, size, and color floating around it. It was as blue as the sky and was so tall that you couldn't see the top, for it was covered by clouds.

"Who ever lives here, must be really rich. And lucky" she said, more to herself. There was a hinge of envy in her voice and that only made Solstice chuckle.

"What's so funny?" Lucy asked, her attention now on Solstice.

"Who knew you could be so clueless and dense..."

"Are you calling me dumb?"

"You must be to not know this will be where you'll be staying."

"No way..." Once Lucy snapped out of it, she jogged over to where Solstice was to catch up. The interior was just as beautiful as the outside and had many servants running around. They were greeted by an old man holding a wooden staff. He had a long beard and was hunched over. He looked like he could be over 9000!!

Just kidding. He was about 90...

"Well hello there" The man started "Its good to see you've finally returned Solstice. I hope your journey wasn't a difficult one." He directed his direction towards Lucy. "And I take it this is the Starlight I've heard so much about?"

"Yep that's me. My name's-"

"Lucy Heartfillia. I already know." He cut her off with a smile. "I am known as Silas. I am one of the three elders here and I basically manage the castle"

"Well then it truly is a pleasure to meet you Mr. Silas."

"Oh no need to be so formal. Silas is fine"

"Silas it is then."

"I hate to cut the greeting short, but we are a bit low on time." Solstice interrupted.

"Of course." The old man apologized. " Continue on."

Solstice led Lucy down the hall, up a few flights of stairs, down more halls, and towards a huge door.

"This is where you'll be staying."

"Wow..." Lucy started. "I-It's huge! There's no way I have his room all to myself!"

"Believe it or not, but it is." Solstice walked towards the door. "Now get some rest. There are some very important people I want you to meet tomorrow. Goodnight."

"Goodnight"

The next morning, Lucy was awoken to multiple things. This included the sound of clashing pots, and pans, multiple trumpets playing, the loudest drumming she's ever heard and the feeling of a cold liquid on her face.

"What the hell?!" She shouted trying to figure out what had just happened.

"Oh. You're finally awake, dear." Lucy looked over to see Solstice holding an empty bucket. She was smirking as well as the few other people in the room. "I was starting to think you'd never wake up. I thought you were dead for a second."

"That doesn't mean you had to do all that! I probably would of woken up if you'd given me a little shake! Geez you're so cocky..."
