The New World [Magi Fanfic]

The Sacred Palace

_________

"I love you Sin." Lucy said quietly. Sinbad began to hectically pick her up and run off to the boat. Lucy felt her consciousness begin to slip from her. Until eventually... everything went dark.

------------

Lucy woke up in a familiar place. The Sacred Palace. Her head pounded and she sat up.

"Ah.. Miss Lucy! You're finally awake. I got really scared there.." Ugo said as he looked at the blonde before him.

"U-Ugo? Does this mean I am dead? Then I failed to fulfill my promise..." Lucy said as tears pricked her eyes.

"N-No! Don't worry Miss Lucy! I just brought you here because you were really close to dying... and I mean like a second later and you would... Ah! Nevermind. Anyways you are a-okay!" Ugo said as he focused his gaze to behind the blonde.

"It's been quite sometime, Beleth." Ugo grinned, looking at the looming figure behind the girl.

"Ugo. How have you been?" Beleth said as he stood beside his Queen.

"Well, I am a god now~" Ugo grinned. Beleth sighed and placed a hand on his master's shoulder.

"My Queen, I used some of the magoi granted to me by our king to quickly bring you here, away from all the danger. You pushed yourself too hard. You shouldn't have done that." Beleth scolded. Lucy sweat dropped and sighed.

"I know... I just couldn't let my precious friends die. I am quite attached to them." Lucy stated. Ugo watched them with a small smile.

"Thank you Ugo. Give Solomon and Sheba my regards. And tell Sheba I miss her teachings dearly." Lucy smiled sadly.

"I will. And might I add... You've matured Lucy. In many ways." Ugo said with a strange sense of fatherly pride.

'I am very glad that we chose her of all the souls. She is truly one of a kind.' Ugo thought as he gazed fondly at the girl before him. He even thought of her as his child in a strange way.

"Thank you." Lucy said with a slight bow and a small smile on her lips, showing off her dimples.

"But Ugo, I was wondering if I could stay here with you for a while. I could learn more magic from you, seeing as though you are a god. And I could even practice with Beleth some more, I have researched a few ways for me to Djinn Equip! It would be amazing if a magician could do that with a Djinn!" Lucy grinned, earning a nod from Beleth.

"It would be very nice to finally bond with my master." Beleth grinned as he slung his arm around his Queen's shoulders.

"I think I would like that very much." Ugo nodded as a happy feeling began to swell within him.

During her time in the Sacred Palace, she trained with the blue giant. She even managed to finally do her Djinn Equip. While in said Djinn Equip, Lucy's hair changes including the color and length. Her golden hair turns into a white color and it reaches down to her ankles in two large braids. Unlike most Djinn Equips she has not one but three eyes on the forehead, similar to Belial. Also she gets white wings and two additional arms. In this form, a deep red tattoo appears above her left eye. Also in this form, Lucy is surrounded by a golden solid wreath. Her clothing consists of a thick golden necklace that wraps around her neck. Two straps of white fabric falls from it to cover to rather bountiful chest. Her toned stomach is left bare and a deep maroon belt wraps around her hips with various precious jewels decorating it, similar to that of Zepar's. A beige skirt flows from the belt and reaches her mid thigh. Her legs are left bare and her feet are left exposed. Her weapon is a rather large staff that stands above her head. It is a crescent at the top but is rather conservative compared to the rest of the Djinn Equip.

-

"Now Lucy. Beleth is a rather powerful Djinn. Dare I say, I might even consider him better than that of Belial. He is on par with that of the magic that King Solomon used to seal Il Illah and the organization in another dimension." Ugo warned. Lucy nodded as excitement swelled within her. Beleth let out a deep chuckle and he stood beside Ugo, looking on at his candidate with pride.

"Damn right. I am quite powerful." The Djinn said with confidence, earning a small snort from the girl.

"This is sound magic, correct?" Lucy asked as she concentrated on the vibrations that emanated from her staff. Beleth nodded as he observed her Djinn Equip.

"My Extreme Magic that a tad different than that of the average Djinn. It is not a physical attack but that of a mental attack. It is rather hard to explain but you will understand when the time comes when you use it." Beleth said with his hand cupping his chin. Lucy nodded as she released her Djinn Equip.

"I guess I can't hold it as long as I hoped. It is rather amazing that I can even perform it. Considering that we are both magicians." Lucy laughed. Ugo smiled as he pointed to her nose.

"You might want to clean yourself up." He said. Lucy tilted her head as she put her hand up to her nose. She felt a warm liquid drip from it and as she pulled her hand away, a crimson liquid was covering her hand.

"I was correct with my research though." Lucy grinned with a fist pumped in the air.

"Yes indeed. It is amazing that you thought of that." Ugo commented as his more logical side came out.

"Yeah, it was rather surprising that it worked though. All I have to do is listen to Beleth for the commands. No casting any magic while in Djinn or Weapon Equip." Lucy said as she placed her hands on her hips.

"I guess it drains your magoi faster than we expected. But that is reasonable." Beleth said as he handed his master a small rag, which she gracefully accepted. She muttered a quick thanks as she wiped her bloody nose clean.

"Well, I bet a bit more practice and it should work more!" Ugo cheered happily.

----

After the final battle with Parthevia and the first Kingdom of Sindria, Lucy was told that time flowed differently in the Sacred Palace. What may seem like twenty years, was a good 7ish years on her world. Lucy felt as if she had been here for at least a century, getting taught magic by the magical genius himself, along with Beleth of course.

----

Eventually the time came where Lucy had to take her leave from the Sacred Palace. She had grown quite powerful with the training she received. For a magician to gain a Djinn, and let alone a Djinn equip was quite the feat. It had been five years on the planet, even though it felt at least twenty years in the palace to Lucy. She said her farewells to Ugo, who was a tad upset that she had to leave. But she had to go. With that, she disappeared from the Sacred Palace.
