Chapter 4
“ YOUR NATSU SISTER!” she said out loud, and then the whole guild was in a up roar. Everyone ended up gathering around the table asking questions after questions. I leaned over to Natsu and asked “ Is she okay? Should I be worried?” As I pointed to Mari. Natsu just waved his hand and said that it was no big deal. I went back to what I was doing, and started laughing and trying to answering the questions the best I could. I raised my hands up and down. “Okay guys claim down. I’ll tell you all a story if you quiet down.” The crowed around the table quieted and people sat down at the adjoining tables. Lucy ended up sitting next to me. Gray sat on the other side of me, and Erza sat across from me next to Natsu. Once everyone was settled I started my story.
“Long long ago in a land far away. There was once a peaceful village that was located on a river. The village was a little farming and fishing village that lived of the land. The residents of this village had a good relationship with the local dragons in the area.The Village gave the dragons some of their food and the dragon in turned taught the villagers how to use magic, read, and write. One of the dragons took a liking to one of the families that lived on the outskirts of the village. In this family there were 5 people in it. There was the mother, father, Older sister named Stela, middle brother Spriggan, and lastly younger brother Haru. The dragon taught the Stela and Haru dragon slayer magic. While he helped Spriggan with his studies. Spriggan was the smart one in the family. He always had a thirst for knowledge that the other two didn’t. With the help of the dragon he was able to get into Mildian Magic Academy at a vary young age.” I said. I looked at everyone who was listening and continued with my story.
“The day was like any other in the village. Training, farming, school, and laughter. It was the day their village held a festival in honor of the dragons that had helped, but also on that day Spriggan was coming home for the Academy for the summer. Stela had left her home earlier that morning to train with the dragon so she could be home for when Spriggan came back. She had started to train with the dragon when she was only but 4 years old. Over the last 14 years she has learned a lot of different fighting moves and magic. On that summer night’s training went longer then she had planed for and was late returning home. The dragon said that he would take Stela home and enjoy the festival with her family.” My face turned dark as I started to remember the nightmares of my past. I looked up at Natsu who had a worried face as he stared back at me. I gave him a soft smile and continued my story.
“On the way back to the village Stela and the Dragon heard screaming coming from the direction village. They both looked up into the sky to see smoke coming from Where the village was. Stela ran as fast she could to the village entrance. While the dragon took to the skies, but when they got there is was to late. The village was massacred. Houses were in a blaze, and the ground was covered in dead bodies. Stela stood at the entrance of the village as she watched the people she had know forever die one by one. Roaring made the girl look up to the skies to see her dragon fighting another dragon in the sky. The fight was intense as the dragons were going at each other’s throats. Then Stela turned her attention back to her burning village and started to run towards her house, but when she got there she froze. Her blood ran cold and then she hit the ground with her knees. The scream that she let out was said to have rang out across the land and skys, and into the heavens it self. Some also say that her scream was what killed the enemy dragon.” I took a sip of my drink and sighed.
“What the girl saw that day would change her life and the world. She found her mother, father, and Haru all lined up dead in front of her. Only her other brother Spriggan lived. He was holding their younger brother in his arms as he cried. Days pasted after the fight the dead were barried, and the living siblings parted ways. Then Stela went and trained with the dragon to become stronger and learned many different forms of slayer magic. While Spriggan went back to school to learn more. What he learned at the school changed his life for ever and effected the world as well. Some people say that both of these sibling have died and left important artifacts behind that could change life as we know it. Other people think that both of them are still alive waiting for the day to kill each other.” I looked at the people who heard the story I just told. Their faces were somber and some even had some tears in their eyes.
“The brother from the story. You said he changed the world what do you mean about that?” I turned to the voice that had asked the question. I looked at the blond hair girl named Lucy who asked the question and gave her a soft smile. “well my dear this is a story from over 500 years. Most people have forgotten the real names that belong to the people in this story, or they have forgotten this story all together. But this is the story of Zerf and his family.” There was gasping that was hard throughout the building, and then there was quiet chatter in the room. “If you don’t mind me asking how do you know that this story is about Zerf and his family?” I gave Lucy a smile and took one last sip of my now epmty glass. “Well Igneel told me the story long ago. He told me that he was the dragon, and because he fail to protect the village that it was his fault that Stela’s family died. Although Zerf didn’t just blame Igneel he also blame his sister. That is why people think that the siblings are still at odds even now.” Lucy had a blush on her face as she looked at the table. I looked around at the guild and noticed that the mood had changed to a vary somber mood, and I couldn’t stand for that. This was suppose to be a happy time for them with the GMG coming up. I put my hand on Raven’s key and a guitar appeared in my hand. I started to string a couple of cords and then began to sing.
“ The cold tears that fall
Freeze under the sky
They pretend to be kind
And around the time they fall down my face
Two people who were always together are torn apart
That’s all there is to this story
Even if your everything loses its shape one day
You’ll always be here within me
As I try to move forward again, even though I couldn’t say goodbye
You’ll always be here with me.”
I strummed the last note on the guitar and the guild was all clapping and some still had tears in their eyes. I gave them a big smile and raised my beer from the table in the air, and the party was back on. People where enjoying themselves and were back to laughing and fighting. I talked with the girls at the table while the boys went off to join the fight in the back of the guild.
“So Luna I heard that you use Celestial magic like Lucy. How many keys do you have?” Asked Levy. Levy was a small, but firey girl that I had stared to be come friends with. “ I have 7 spirits.” I told her. Lucy was the next one to ask me a question.
“So Luna do you have any gold keys? I have 10 of them and 4 silver.” Lucy told me with a gleam in her eyes. I let out a small chuckle and shook my head. She seemed kinda down at that. So I decided I would shower her my keys. I laided 5 of my keys on the table, and watched her face go through so many different emotions. She went from shock to amazement, and then lastly to thinking. She then looked at me and then back at the keys and then back to me. She opened her mouth then closed. I raised my eye brow at her and then spoke.
“Lucy is everything okay?” I asked her. Her and Levy studied the keys that were on the table. They looked at each other, and then back at the table. Lucy then looked at me with a serious face and then said to me “ Luna I never thought the day would come when I would able to see these keys. I always thought that they were a legend and that they weren’t real.” She gave a small smile and that made me smile back at her. “Yes Lucy your sapestions are right. These are the missing Platinum keys that have become a legend now. They are similar to the 12 gold zodiac keys, but instead of 12 there is only 6.” I said to Lucy while looking at her. She looked interested in what I had to say about the keys that I own so I continued. “The Platinum keys take more power to open then the golden keys do.” I looked down at the table and then picked up Shiro’s key. “There ranking goes like this. First is Lupus the wolf constellation.” I then picked up Aquila’s key. “Next is Aquila, then after her is Pegasus, Phoenix, Corvus, and then lastly at the top of them all is Draco.” I looked at Lucy who was eye all the key that were laided out in front of her. She smile as she looked at each one.
“So wait you only have 5 Platinum keys does that mean you don’t have Draco?” Asked Levy who was also looking at the keys. I laughed and then pulled out another key and placed it on the table. The key was black as night and looked like it has the cosmos on it. I heard a gasp come out of Lucys mouth and then she looked up at me. “Is that really Draco’s key? It’s so different from the others.” I nodded my head in agree meant with her. “The reason being is because he is the most powerful out of the stars.” I said with a smile. Lucy went to touch the key when a hand quickly grabbed it off the table. Every one turned there head to see Natsu holding it with a grin on his face.
“Sweet I can finally fight a dragon now!” He said while he lit his hand on fire. I couldn’t help but laugh at his childish antics. He really hadn’t changed much through out the years. Lucy ended up hitting Natsu on his head and took the key right out of his had. “Owww Luce what did you do that for?” She looked so mad at him when she spoke. “How many time do I have to tell you! Spirts are family and are not for fighting!” At that statement I couldn’t help but laugh harder.
“You know your going to fall out of your chair right.” The next thing I know I’m on the ground looking at the ceiling of the guild hall. I sat up and looked behind me to see Raven standing there trying to hold in his own laughter. I gave him the stink eye before I gather my self and sat back down in my seat. I notice that Raven made his way to stand by the side of my seat. “You scared the shit out me you jerk.” I said while I hit his arm. He just let out a chuckle. I looked back at the rest of the group who was now eyeing the new person. “Well I guess introductions are in order. This is Raven also known as Crovus.” I said while gesturing my hand at him. He smile and waved at the group.
“It’s nice to meet y’all and I hope that we can get along.” He said.
