"I give all my thanks to you Misaki, leader of Deimos"
That is all Lyra heard before her body immediately took action. Her slender yet incredibly strong hands clenched around the golden doorknob, leaving her finger's imprints. The door practically flew off its hinges as her arm pulled it with a great amount of force. There before her stood a blonde celestial mage with widened chocolate eyes. Lucy's body was completely relaxed, obviously enjoying the conversation. But that calm demeanour instantly turned to a surprised one when she had caught sight of the Dragon Slayer. A mark adorning her forearm emitted a purple light as it grew in size. That mark is of a thick black circle with a five point star in the centre.
This is the Cursed Mark of Deimos.
Each and every one of their victims is left with that mark imprinted somewhere on their skin. It slowly grows until it covers the victim's entire body. Once that happens, they are dead.
Standing in front of the blonde is an awfully familiar smirking female. Her waist length chestnut brown hair cascaded down her back in perfect waves. Her smirk instantly faltered as her deep violet irises caught sight of Lyra. A dark blue cloak covered her petite body as the same exact mark is printed on the fabric, symbolizing she is a member. Well not a simple member, she is the second leader alongside her twin sister. This is Misaki, an expert in ancient spells with incredible knowledge.
"Lyra, what a surprise to find you here" The tone in her voice clearly states she is nowhere near surprised, as if all of this was planned.
"Misaki what is your business here" She responded, desperately trying to remain calm.
"You broke my door!!" Lucy screamed anger clear in those large circular eyes. She obviously did not care of the tension filling the room. Her entire mind is completely focused on the broken door she would later pay for.
This may be the answer to most of Lyra's questions.
How did Lucy know about her past?
Misaki must've informed the celestial mage about every single detail in her life. Even though Lyra has not told a single person, besides Erza and Gajeel, Deimos would eventually find out about her past. The brunette is extremely intelligent so it is not surprising she would know.
Why has Lucy been acting strange?
Lucy acting strange is not completely answered though. Lyra is highly aware Misaki used an ancient controlling spell but if a spell is used they would have to be face to face. The blonde and brunette would have coincidentally met each other. But the new question is where and how.
"Your time of power is gone Lyra, Reina is coming... Deimos knows you are alive" With that, the brunette disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The slayer stood there dumbfounded, questions racing through her mind once again. Well what can she think after the simple yet complicated statement? A former acquaintance gave a warning about Reina, her twin sister. What relevance does she have with the current problem?
Those cobalt eyes averted to Lucy, flames of anger clear in the retina. Her fingers swiftly made their way to her left wrist and practically ripped off the silver accessory. Within two blinks of her large eyes, her left iris turned a charcoal black.
"WHY ARE YOU WITH DEIMOS? WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?"
She instantly lost complete control of her actions. The anger consumed her body, wanting nothing more but to put pain upon the celestial female who revealed secrets. Secrets that weren't hers to tell.
Lyra's entire right arm quickly became covered with concrete hard translucent crystals. Small spikes of circles formed in a straight line down her arm, decorating it. The spikes became larger and larger the closer they are to her fingers. This gauntlet-like armour would definitely enhance her hard hits while the spikes would clearly slice skin. This is all due to her use of Crystal God Slaying Magic, the stronger one of the two (Water Dragon Slaying Magic).
Lyra's armoured hand swiftly retracted as the crystal covered fingers clenched into a fist. The crystals showed the amount of magic collecting in her hand, making the hit much harder. With a simple movement, time practically stopped. Everything went slowly yet the actions were swift and flawless. Her fist made contact with the blonde's revealed stomach. The celestial mage crashed against the pane of the window and fell straight out. The shards of glass landed on the floor as the blonde's hand attempted to grab onto furniture, wanting to stay alive. In the speed of light, Lyra's body followed the exact same action Lucy's did. But her jump is less of a panic as she control of what was happening. Due to her dragon slayer speed, she instantly caught up to Lucy's falling figure. In the midst of falling, the slayer retracted her arm once more as her body is now directly above the celestial mage. The bystanders simply watched the scene unfold before them, everyone remaining in a state of shock. Her hand once again made contact with the blonde's stomach, a bruise upon a bruise. The sudden force sent Lucy to fall faster. What Lyra did not expect was the fact that Lucy would not simply let her have her way.
The dragon slayer's multicoloured irises softened, realization hitting her like a ton of bricks. She had hurt a former close friend, something she knew for sure Natsu would hate. Plus, that is the reason they were arguing earlier!
A good one metre off the ground, the 17 year old blonde grabbed onto the armoured female's wrist and flipped them, changing their positions. Lyra's back made contact with the rough pavement, a crater forming on the sidewalk. A small scream of pain escaped her lips, the pain quickly running through her spine. It is nearly impossible for her bones not to have been broken, but the fact that she is a mage must've caused the instant healing. Lucy now lay above her, those light pink lips in a smirk. Behind all those devious looks, her body is currently suffering a lot of pain. The crystals plus the female's incredible strength did quite the damage.
"Did little miss perfect expect that?"
'Little miss perfect' groaned as her entire back ached, the small pebbles surely dug into her skin.
"Lucy... you need to w-wake up from their control!!" Her voice sounded quiet and weak yet the determination is clear.
That is one thing Lucy truly admired. The determination and drive for success in everything she does is the reason why many people have adorned her, along with Titania.
Lucy began to think about Natsu. He wouldn't want his two closest friends fighting, which is far from what he wanted. Those chocolate eyes softened, tears beginning to form. She slowly moved so now her body is positioned on the concrete, directly beside Lyra. Her hands covered her large brown eyes to avoid anyone from seeing the tears. But her blonde companion had already caught sight of them racing down her red cheeks. She slowly sat up, her vision never leaving the celestial Mage.
"L-L-Lyra you don't understand... I love Natsu..."
