Guarding The Royal

Chapter 19

Natsu's POV 

It's been a few days since I was brought to the Celestial Realm and found out that I'm part demon, and I can't stop thinking about how I was lied to my whole life. "Natsu! Are you even listening?" Lucy yells getting my attention. "Sorry, I was just thinking." I say looking up at her. "Natsu I know this is a lot to take in but you have to have control of the demon. That's the only reason we are doing this." She says. "I know, but your right, it is a lot to take in." I say playing with the the candle flame. Lucy looks at me and smiles. "What can you do with that little bit of flame?" She asks.

 I look at her in confusion until I realized what she meant. I smile back at her at use one finger to send the flame flying at her. She deflected it and sends it in the direction of a mirror sending it back at the candle. She send some of the water in my direction and I take the flame expanding it to catch the water, turning it to steam. "Okay, now that you can control regular flame, show me that you can control your black flames." She says sending her own flames at me at a fast flying rate. I clear my mind and think of only her flames colliding with my black ones. 

My hand shoots up and the black flames come trickling from my hand flying at her flames, as the collide it makes a soft explosion in mid air. "What are y'all doing?" I turn to see Wendy. "Just messing around. You should be studying with Doranbolt." Lucy says looking at her sister, sending some water her way. Wendy thinks fast and ducks. "What the hell is wrong with you?!" Wendy yells sending a blast of wind at Lucy. Lucy goes flying back hitting one of the book shelves, knocking it over. Wendy glares at her sister. 

"Wendy!" I say a little loudly. "What?" She says with the same volume I used. "We were practicing my magic, she was just trying to do the same with you." I say walking over to Lucy, who is covered in books. "I know I was to." Wendy says as she flips her hair and walks away. "Damn. Wendy looks like she's getting so old." I say watching her walk away. "Umm?! Can I get some help?" I hear Lucy yell from under the books. "Oh, yeah. Let me help you." I say quickly turning around and pulling her out of the stack of books. 

"Ugh. Thank you." She says dusting herself off. "Yes she does. I don't really like it that much." Lucy continues with a vein popping out her forehead. "Why does she age faster in this Realm then in the other realm?" I ask not understanding. Lucy uses her magic to lift the book shelf back in its original place and puts all the book back were they where. Once she is done she looks at me and sighs. "In this realm once you hit a certain age you just look the same an since our bodies contain so much magic now she ages at the rate her magic is, so her body is going to age at a rapid rate until it just stops." She explains to me. I nod my head understanding. 

"When is the coronation?" I ask thinking about what it would be like. "When Wendy stops aging." She says like it was simple. "The Celestial folk only get to see their rulers twice before they take complete control, once at birth and at the coronation and after that they see us when ever we leave or have a problem." She continues to explain. "So it's going to be like that when we ave our children?" I ask holding her by the waist resting my head on her shoulder with a smile on my face. She giggles and lays her head on top of mine. "Yes, just like that, one day." She says. 

"But I don't want our child to age at a rapid rate." She says turning around to look at me. "Maybe they won't age as fast cause you have to remember you and Wendy are from this realm, yes, but you were also sent into another realm with your powers sealed away. So maybe she's just aging like that because her all of her powers are hitting her at once." I say trying to reassure her. She looks up at me and smile. "Maybe?" She says. 

"I think Wendy has a crush on her guard." I tell Lucy. "Why do you think that?" She asks raising a brow. I laugh out a heavy laugh. "You mean to tell me you haven't seen how she blushes every time he walks into the room or how when she sees him she never wants to leave his side and when she does, she gives him a tight ass hug and whispers in his ear?" I ask her. Her eyes widen at the realization. "Why did you tell me this sooner?" She says to me with worry in her voice. I open my mouth to say something but get cut off. "Oh my Mavis! What if they are a thing and I don't even know?!" She says as she starts pacing the room.
