~Chapter 22: The Key~

Start from the beginning
                                    

"She told me to go to the guild with your kids and asked her mom to make a barrier that will protect everyone" She answered.

"You must go now, Juvia" I said to her.

"Ok, Natsu-san" She said.

"Be careful Daddy and you should bring Mommy back with you " Luna said.

"Yes, I will. You should go now" I said.

"Bye Natsu-san/Daddy" exclaimed Juvia and the kids.
I waved my hand.

'Luce, don't tell me you're planning to take Zeref on your own?'
'I won't forgive myself if I will not let you deal with him alone. '
I ran to the path where Juvia came from.

Layla's P. O. V

'Lucy, where are you?' I wondered.

"Layla, all the people are already here" Makarov said to me. I nodded.

"What are you thinking, Layla? He asked.

"I'm thinking about where Lucy is." I answered worriedly.

"It's alright Layla, knowing Lucy... Natsu will be with her" He said.

"Oh right, where is Igneel and the other dragons?" He asked.

"They are dealing with Acnologia right now. " I answered.

"Can you send help to them? " I asked.

"Yes, I will send reinforcements so I will get going now" I said to her. He went.

"Layla-san!" A voice called out to me.
I turned my head towards the source.
And it was Juvia with my grandchildren.

"What is it, Juvia?" I asked as I was hugging the children.

"I met Lucy-san and Natsu-san. Natsu-san is searching for Lucy now. And Lucy-san told me to tell you to create and barrier that will create everyone in the guild" She answered.

"Ok, I will" I said.
"For now, Take a rest and bring the kids with you" I said.
She nodded and brought the kids with her.

'Lucy.... Don't you ever use it'
'Natsu, please stop her from doing something reckless'
-------------------------------------------------------------
Back to Lucy's P. O. V

"Ha.. Ha... Ha" I calmed myself and took a deep breath.
I hold my right arm and look at the person in front of me....

Zeref....

He is coughing blood and holding his stomach to stop the bleeding.

"Zeref, let's stop this war. It's useless.
Mavis... The first master is waiting for you above." I said.

"Mavis.. I told her not to wait for me. I'm not worthy of being loved. Everything I touch always wither and passed away. I can't die... Someone please stop me...I'm had enough already" He said.

"I... I can do something" I said.

"Please do it... I trust you" He said.

I held the key in my hand. It was a key given to me by my mom days ago.

-Flashback-
A knock echoed in my door.
"Lucy" A voice called out.
"Mom" I said as I open the door.
"Can I talk to you?" She asked.
"Of Course, Mom" I opened the door.
I closed it as she went inside.

"What is it that you want to talk about?" I asked her.
We were now sitting in my bed.
"This can help you for the upcoming war" she said.
She took out a box and opened it.
And I saw a beautiful key.

"Lucy, we call this the Key of the Guardian" she said

"Lucy, we call this the Key of the Guardian" she said.

"It was given to me by your grandmother. She said that it can help me but I never use it. She told me that this can only be use once and it will appear again after how many months." she continued.

"What can it do, Mom? " I asked her.

"Your grandma told me that when you use it, you will meet the guardian and he can grant 3 wishes" she said as she gave me the key.

"3 wishes? " I asked holding the key in ny palm.  she nodded.

"But Lucy, she told me that once the wielder uses it, he/she will.... " she stopped.

"Die? " I asked. She shakes her head.
"No, they will be put to sleep. A comatose state." she answered.

"Will he/she wake up? " I asked.

"I don't know Lucy. Your grandma doesn't also know. In our history of celestial wizards, there are some who managed to wake up after a long sleep" she answered.

"Ok, Mom. I'll take care of it" I said.

"I hope Lucy that you won't be using this. I'm scared that I'll lose you.
Lucy, only use this when necessary,   ok? "

I nodded. She gave me a big hug.

-End of Flashback-

I held the key towards the sky. Then,  it started shining gold. 
'I'm sorry Mom but I'm gonna have to do this'

"I open thee, Gate of the Guardian! " I shouted.  With that, the key started shining more brighter.

Darkness consumed me.
