Celestial Wolf-Slayer [Fairy Tail FF]

Ch. 2: Training with the Wolf King

[Lucy's PoV]

I snapped my eyes open only to find myself in quite a comfortable room, lying on a semi-hard bed. I sat up and scanned the room. There wasn't any furniture nor lacrima appliances in here. Only this bed made of wood with a soft blanket on it, and a small chimney. I am definitely in a cabin!

"You're awake." I heard a voice said. Funny, it sounded familiar. I tried to remember what happend before I came here but only result to pain in my head. I winced.

"You passed out. I brought you here." he said as if reading my mind. I looked up at him and I was right. He is familiar. Very familiar to me. But...how?

I thought.... he's dead?

And why does he have cat ears and a tail?

"I'm a wolf-slayer, Lucy" he said again. Seriously, is he reading my mind?

"But... Father, how? I thought you were dead?!" I yelled. Father just smiled at me and patted my head.

"When I died, I lived again as the new Wolf King. I have always been a wolf-slayer. But I stopped using magic when you were born. I had an obligation as your father, and I wanted to raise a good family. So I stopped using magic. When I found out about your mother's sickness, I was so devastated. I went to talk to the former wolf king. He offered me the king's power to use in order for me to obtain the cure. I would have took it, but then I thought about you, Lucy. I can't leave you or your mother alone with her sick. So I chose to stay by her side. But when she died, I couldn't forgive myself. That's why I became cold towards you. I blamed you for your mother's death. Because if I hadn't thought of you, I would've accepted his offer and would've been able to heal your mother." Father looked at me sadly, and pulled me to a hug. "That's why I'm sorry for everything, Lucy. You don't have to forgive me, but please, let me have another chance to be a good father to you again." he said as he hugged me.

"Of course Father! I already forgave you a long time ago, right? You were always a good father to me, Papa. We just didn't see it." I sincerely said and smiled to him. I noticed tears in the corner of his eyes, so I wiped them before they left.

"So, who was the wolf king?" I asked him, changing the subject. No, it was basically because I was curious.

"My father. Wolf king's power is passed by our generation. And you are next, Lucy. So I'm here to teach you Wolf-Slaying Magic, would you accept that?" Father smiled at me as he said that. I can't refuse. I have to show Fairy Tail who the weak and pathetic Ex-Fairy really is. And in fact, this is another chance to spend time with him. We have to catch up to each other right?

"Yes." I said as I nodded to him.

...

THE NEXT DAY...

"Father, will you tell me more about Wolf-Slaying Magic? I mean, nobody knew it was real. We all thought it was just a myth. And why do you have wolf ears and tail? Can't you hide it or something?" I asked him as I ended my sentence. He just chuckled and patted me on my head.

"Still the same curious Lucy, eh? Sure. Well, Wolf-Slaying Magic isn't hard or easy to master. It depends on the wizard. It's a magic that can only be learned by those who have it in their blood. So technically, it's indeed rare. Like Dragon Slaying Magic, we gain keen senses. But unlike them, we also gain the characteristics of a wolf. Like ears and a tail. All Wolf-Slayers have wolf ears and tail, but they only appear when your on your Wolf-Slaying mode. And me, as the Wolf King, is slowly becoming a wolf. So these ears and tail are now permanent." he explained. Wait, what?

"Y-You're turning to a wolf?" I stammered as I asked. The question scares the sht out of me.

"Relax, Lucy. It's by my will. If I want to, I would. But if I don't, I wont. And I thought I wanted to when I thought you and those Fairies who were stucked on that island were dead. But then, when I found out you were alive, I stopped willing." he said. Why is it whenever he says something, it's long?

"Not really" he said, that caused me to look at him.

"You can read my mind?" I asked.

"Not really. It's all printed in your face" he chuckled as he said that.

"When do we start training?" I asked him, changing the subject.

"Now."

...

"Ehh?! But this is boring. Can't you atleast teach me cool magic moves?" I complained. Why shouldn't I? Well, I'm supposed to just concentrate in the falls for 2 months! Too long for the boring part of the training!

"You need to get your body and mind ready. Moving into a fast pace in training would only cause your body to be pressured, or worse, you could die. Now start."

I groaned as I lazily walked to the falls and sat down with my legs crossed. I tried concentrating, but lots of things are bugging my mind. This will really take long.

"Just relax. Clear your mind. And focus on your magic. Remember to always breath steadily." I heard him said. I tried to do what he said, but I couldn't focus.

I tried and tried until I was able to. Everything was going smoothly. I can feel my magic. My breathing was steady, not until an image of Natsu appeared in my mind. I gasped and lost focus.

"Lucy!" I heared father called my name as he ran worriedly to me.

"What happened? You could've drowned! Losing focus on your magic means losing your balance too! What happened?" he asked. His face is full of worry, so I faked a smile.

"Nothing. I just... saw Natsu in my head." I bit my lower lip trying to relax myself. I already told father about what happened. He was so furious about it!

"Don't worry. Now, try again."

...

The days went on. I trained. When I finished my concentration training, I moved to body building. Then he trained me physical fighting and finally taught me Wolf-Slaying Magic.

It's been a month since I parted ways with my father. After we trained, for almost 4 years, father mentioned about enjoying my life and meeting new friends. Of coarse I didn't agreed at first, but then I remembered I want to show Fairy Tail what I've become. To do that, I must join the Grand Magic Games 9 months from now, and in order to join that, I must join a guild.

What guild? Sabertooth. I heard GMG is a battle of the guilds to determine which guild is the strongest. And that Fairy Tail won the title in a row these past few years, and they earned a rivalry with Sabertooth. I even heard about Natsu and Lisanna's engagement.

My appearance also changed. My hair was longer, and due to the Wolf-Slaying Magic that I mastered, my hair color had strips of brown. I don't know the connection, but Father said it was because of that. My hair is also longer and I'm a bit taller.

My clothing style also changed. Well, Father, made me wear so much clothes that my whole body is almost covered. Well, he's Father, and you do understand that. So now, I usually wear a white dress that covers up to my thighs, and white high-socks to cover the rest of my skin. The dress have two separate sleeves. And a cloak over it.

Being with my Father again, made me feel what family really feels like. How it feels to have a caring and loving father. I wished we had more time but, this is what he wants for me. To enjoy my life. And I will.

I found myself standing in front of Sabertooth's guild doors. I inhaled deeply. Here goes nothing...

I kicked the doors open, and yelled, "Where the hell is your master?!"
