Celestial Stars

Celestial Request?

I hope you like my new story of course it's going to be a NALU one!!

Normal POV-

Lucy sat next to Levy as they hung out in their Guilds library reading up on random magic and the history of the Guild. Considering both girls loved books they didn't even notice the bored look on Natsu's face as he sat in front of them.

"Oh come on!~" Whined Natsu as he watched both girls finish yet another book. They've been here all day, just reading!

"Natsu, Lucy promised to hang out with me today plus we love reading here." Smiled Levy as she looked at the floor to ceiling bookshelves just waiting for her full attention. She has learned everything she knew here which suddenly reminded Levy of something. How could she have forgotten!?

"Oh Lucy I found something I think you'd find really interesting." Exclaimed Levy as she caught the Stellers attention. She followed the girl towards the back of the Library, a part she hadn't even explored yet. Only to pull out the most beautiful book she'd ever seen. Of course Natsu was right behind them interested in whatever it is Levy found.

"Wow," gasped Lucy as she carefully took the book in her hands only Natsu looked confused all he saw was an old black book with the words Celestial Star engraved. Levy watched as Lucy's eyes widened in amazement which confirmed her suspicions. The book was enchanted for only Celestial Mages.

"This is amazing Levy-chan! I can't believe a book like this even exists." Even Levy was surprised when she saw it, she's never heard of Celestial Star before she only knew Lucy was a Celestial Wizard so she hoped they somehow had a connection.

"What is it?" Asked Natsu snatching the book out of Lucy's hands flipping through the pages confused. Literally nothing was their just blank pages. With a loud groan Natsu gave Lucy the book back mumbling about how boring they where before he walked away. Leaving a confused Lucy and a giggling Levy, he really was like a child sometimes.

"It's enchanted, meaning only Celestial Mages can see it's true form. It was only a guess though considering all we can see is a plain black book with Celestial Star engraved on it. Tell me what it looks like, from the look on your face it must be amazing." Spoke Levy as her eyes got big with excitement, she always loved Lucy's magic.

Having decided to get something to eat both girls walked towards the Guilds main hall. MiraJane always made the best food!

"Okay, So it's like a bright golden book lined with bright silver and bright blue lines. Creating the most beautiful design I've ever seen, oh I wish you could see it. You'd love it!" Explained Lucy catching the attention of her other friends.

"Oi, Lucy. What are you talking about it's just a plain black book." Questioned Grey as he sat next to Levy staring at the plain black book not nearly as pretty as Lucy explained.

"Interesting. Enchanting magic I suppose." Nodded Erza as she too became interested in the book Lucy was holding. She's heard of Mage oriented books before in stories but never actually seen one in person. Even Erza's never heard of Celestial Star Magic, holder mages can usually only use the tools they are given or find as a source of magic.

Lucy couldn't help but feel excitement run through her veins as she stared at the book before her suddenly getting an idea. "I'm sorry guys, I'm going to head home for the day and figure out more about this!" Smiled Lucy while her guild mates nodded understandingly.

"Open the Gate of 'The Southern Cross' Crux!" Summoned Lucy as she glowed bright gold briefly before it disappeared revealing her friend Crux.

Whenever Lucy needed answers she could always trust Crux to find the answer. "It's been awhile Miss Lucy, what can I do for you?" Asked Crux as he flouted in the air.

Revealing the book Lucy had she watched Crux face for any indication of recognition only to see his usual blank face. "I'd like to know more about this book, why hadn't I ever heard of it before? Why can only I see it?" Questioned Lucy as her spirit seemed to fall asleep only Lucy was used to this.

Crux would always seem to be sleeping once she asked a question but really it's like he's entering his mind collecting all the data he can before revealing anything. Only Lucy was surprised when both Capricorn and Loke appeared before her. Lately she's been able to summon more spirits at once but she was great full Loke came out on his own. Only she didn't know why.

"What's the matter?" Asked Lucy gripping the book tighter against her body something didn't feel right. It was just some book only why didn't it feel that way.

Capricorn was standing off behind Crux while Loke slowly stepped towards Lucy with a serious look on his face. "Lucy, you've been requested by the Celestial King. We've been sent to inform you, he'd like you to leave tomorrow." Informed Loke slowly knowing it would shock her.

The Celestial King wanted to see me? Why? Thought Lucy as she felt her nerves setting in, it's not like he scared her it's just she felt like something was about to change. "Lucy you do know that time works different here than it does there. We will try everything we can to keep your trip as short as possible but there is no guarantee." Informed Capricorn as Lucy slowly started nodding her head not really understanding what was going on.

She just wanted to learn about this book, why did the King wish to see her? It had to be about the book.

"What does this have to do about the book? What is this?" Questioned Lucy only to be left unanswered. All three of her spirits vanished back to this spirit world even Crux without even telling her what he found.

It wasn't until Natsu flew through her window with Happy did she realize one thing. She was leaving tomorrow and she didn't even know when she'd return. Even one day in the spirit world equals to three months here, that means she'd be leaving them for awhile.

Tears weld up in Lucy's eyes once Natsu locked eyes with her. "Lucy, what happened!?" Questioned Natsu shocked. Why was Lucy crying, Lucy shouldn't cry.

Happy flew over to Lucy hugging her breast as she sobbed for unknown reasons. Even she didn't really know every detail.

Natsu sat Lucy on the bed as she cried just holding her. He didn't know why she was crying but once he figured it out he'd fix it, no one gets to make Lucy cry.

As the sobs slowed down Lucy lifted her head quickly whipping her tears away before grabbing her Keys.

Happy sat on Lucy lap concerned while Natsu thought of multiple different reasons Lucy would cry. "I'm leaving," mumbled Lucy as she looked down at Happy petting him softly trying to remember everything about him.

"What do you mean your leaving?" Asked Natsu shocked. He didn't understand where was she going and wasn't it obvious he'd go with her?

Finally calming down Lucy nodded her head slowly excepting her Kings request. He wouldn't do something like this if there wasn't a reason. Besides she'd be back as soon as she could, with a small sad smile Lucy looked at Natsu.

"I have to go to the Spirit World for a little bit. The Celestial King has requested me, oh how I wish I could take you but I think this is something I have to do on my own." Spoke Lucy as she hugged Natsu not sure how'd he handle it. Natsu knew that even just one day in the Celestial World meant three months here, he was still shocked. Why did the King wish to see her?

"How long will you be gone Lucy?" Whined Happy as he hugged Lucy tightly. He didn't want Lucy to leave they where a team and it wouldn't be the same without her. Natsu looked towards the book he'd seen Lucy and Levy talking about earlier. Everything was happening so fast but he knew that this was important. She must be learning more about magic something he could do as well.

"It's okay Luce, we'll just go on a trip while you're gone so it won't seem so weird not having you around, right Happy?" Smiled Natsu as he jumped up grabbing Lucy's hand.

"Well have a going away party at the Guild so everyone can say goodbye." Lucy was shocked but happy for Natsu he was taking this a lot better than she thought. At least now that he was traveling she wouldn't have to worry about him being too lonely. Looking down at Happy she smiled, "I'll be back as soon as I can be, let's go party!" Cheered Lucy as she followed Natsu running towards the Guild with a blue exceed flying above them.
