Light of the Dragons

Black Penetration

This is turning out to be a super long book, I already know how it is going to end. But I just have to figure out how to get there. That happened to any of my fellow writers out there, me all the time...almost every book. Also I know I basically say the same things in every chapter intro, but I am running out of sayings!

I dedicate this chapter to No_Name_6250!

I really love to hear what you think, so please comment!

*********************************

Juvia's POV

Air-born Juvia flipped around and caught her self right before she would hit the ground. This dragon was so persistent, currently she was fighting the ice dragon along with many others of the guild. It reminded her so much of Grey-sama, she refused to fight any other dragon. At least not until this on was down, problem was none of their attacks were having any affect at all. This must be because of what they learned back at the invasion of dragons after the Grand Magic Games, the rule that only a dragon slayer can defeat a dragon. It was cruel that they got all the credit no matter how powerful you were.

"Juvia look out!" She heard Levy's cry, she jumped out of the way of the dragons ice roar. Juvia recognized this roar as the same one that Lucy had taken, not something she wanted to experience.

As she looked around she noticed that everyone was only able to keep the dragon at bay, not a scratch was placed on its icy shell since Natsu and Lucy had left. In a way Juvia was glad that the group was back and safe from Phantom Shadow, but she was not happy that Grey-sama wasn't with her, fighting along her side. She showed her gratitude and love in different ways than other girls did. Most girls would wait for the boys and smile and giggle at their actions, as much as she wanted she wasn't this way. She couldn't wait because she knew that Grey-sama would fall for someone else and "showering" her love upon him was mostly by accident of getting carried away with her undying love for him.

Afterwards she would be so embarrassed that she acted in that matter, but no matter how many times she tried to restrain herself she was caught up doing it again...and again, and again. If only he would realize her situation and feelings and just tell her how he felt, it would be better to know that he doesn't feel the same way than to keep constantly be putting it off and never getting an answer.

"Lightning dragons ROAR!!" Laxus yelled from behind her, he might not have been a true dragon slayer but in this situation he was perfect for the job, problem was that there were three dragons and one slayer. Juvia couldn't even imagine how Lucy attempted to fight all five of them, so she had to stop thinking about her pitiful love life and focus on the battle.

"Water Nebula!" She shouted as she struck the ice dragon. As she expected nothing befell the scaled beast, it only turned its head in her direction, noticing her presence. She froze, stayed silent then screamed and ran behind Gildarts.

"Juvia, what are you doing?!" He protested.

"Grey-sama isn't here, how can Juvia fight?" She kneeled down and put her hands over her head.

Gildarts stopped, shocked by her answer.

"Listen, he isn't the only person thats going to be there for you. You have all of your friends here, you are a strong girl, don't let that go."

Juvia looked up at him, surprised he was capable of saying such words. They had a tinge of hurt behind them, but the point was clear and right. She stood from her crouch and placed her self next to Gildarts, not behind him in fear. This time she would fight, for Grey-sama and her friends, after all she was a Fairy Tail wizard and doing so was the best decision she'd ever made. When she became part of Fairy Tail, she had fallen in love, not just for the ice-make mage but with everyone and how different this guild was from Phantom. How they looked after one-another, would die for them, this was what she really fell in love with.

She bended her water to her will as she kept attacking the dragon, it was easier to battle the ice dragon because it would freeze her water but she could still use it however she wanted. The dragon would get angry that what he was doing wasn't working on her, but unfortunately none of Juvias moves were working either, she was just holding it at bay until Laxus had time to take care of it. This was a slow and difficult process, she didn't know how long she could keep it up for, not much longer she knew that for a certainty. The dragon thrashed and destroyed his ice that he had made, but Juvia kept coming at him, blocking his path and prevented him from doing much of anything.

It howled another sickening roar, shooting ice and snow straight at her, she made a barrier of water that immediately froze and looked quite a lot like Grey-sama's ice shield. She examined her accidental work and smiled, exasperated that she could use the same magic as him.

"Juvia, don't just stand there!" Evergreen caught her attention.

"Sorry, Juvia was-" but she didn't get to finish. Right then an earthquake shook the ground, everyone stopped their current fight and looked around for the source.

Then suddenly a dark mass came hurtling up from the earth below, it was absolutely huge, bigger than the rest of the dragons and much more menacing. A ominous aura seeped from its existence as it breath was like black fog.

Now that Juvia thought back on it she had only seen four dragons total, including the dead on, but she knew that there were five of them. This was the fifth and last dragon, it must have been in hiding until now but it decided to arise and conquer it prey.
