Past, Present, No Future

by: Shigure Hakuya

She closed her ears, blocking the noise coming from the agonistic screams of the citizens of Magnolia. Hoping to remove the pain away, she just closed her eyes and prayed that nothing or anything of this didn't happened and just a mere nightmare. Unfortunately, she can't and she still can hear screams and shrieks from the people, being tortured and killed by those demons.

Truthfully, she actually watched movies where people get tortured by the antagonist but this...this is too much for her to handle. She now just want to closed her eyes and lay down on her bed with her comfy blanket wrapped around her. Poor, Lucy.

Looking up, she now saw the almost disgusting bodies of her friends from Fairy Tail. Even she can't believe that Fairy Tail's most powerful female wizard, Erza Scarlet, looked like this... She just hoped to Mavis that time will come back time when HE isn't being awaken.

Natsu Dragneel.

Or should she call him, E.N.D.

Etherious Natsu Dragneel.

The most powerful demon Zeref, the dark mage, ever made. The one that's supposed to be with Tartaros but due to unknown reasons, he's with Fairy Tail, only remembering that he's the SON of the red dragon, Igneel.

He's currently sucking the soul out of those citizens, with her being hidden in a corner currently hidden by a dark shadow. He had those long, pointy red pair of horns that mysteriously sprouted from his pink hair. His fangs are more sharper and he completely looked like a demon being untamed. He slashed his very sharp claws at the people while laughing hysterically with his usually onyx eyes, bloody red.

'He's a monster...'

She thought before looking back at him but suddenly, he looked at her direction. Her knees were now shaking furiously as she gulped. With her current state, she can't fight him. Moreover when he's currently out of control. She tried to scream but she managed to stop it as she now prayed to the Gods that she will be saved.

She now hugged herself while thinking of a plan to save herself from her upcoming torment. "...keys...", She now muttered before grabbing her keys, hoping to summon Virgo and help her to go to the Celestial World, even its bad for her state, but she must. She grabbed the keys and a golden ring of magic appeared from the tip of her key and the maid-like spirit appeared in from of her.

"Let's go..." Lucy said to her friend and the latter nodded before grabbing Lucy's hand and a golden portal appeared in from of them. She looked at Natsu and discovering that he's already a kilometer far away from her. She now pushed her own strength before going inside the portal with Virgo, a sliver of hope litten up in her heart.

Once reaching the Celestial World, she thanked her friend before slumping herself at the mystical floor of this world. She now decided to wear some appropriate clothes before deciding to face the Spirit World King, her old friend.

Before reaching the king, a golden light surrounded her. A dark golden light being appeared in front of her as she now felt herself being nauseous. She feel like the world is being on her back and she can't move herself. A blurry face appeared in her mind before clutching her chest in pain.

I am one who seeks out those tears

Your cries for salvation has been heard

Justice shall prevail and darkness shall perish

Thy one who wishes for thee,

I shalt help thou...

I am...

thy Celestial Savior...

Lucy can feel herself being lost of consciousness. Celestial Savior? Wasn't it the one that her mother always said to her when she's still a kid? "The Celestial Savior or the Celestial Warrior is a mysterious one...he, no, she is a myth. No one can really know nor see this Warrior." Lucy remembered all of those before she now saw dark spots in her field of vision, seeing her friends running to her before she blacked out.

Lucy can feel the soft mattress below her. Her eyebrows furrowed in annoyance that she doesn't know where she is. Finally, she now opened her eyes.

She can see is dark. Though it's unclear, she know that something is wrong and that something is misplaced or rather, she, herself is misplaced. Though she feel herself like she've gotten so small and her keys are not with her, making her panicked. She now tried to comfort herself before getting out of the bed.

She then noticed a golden bracelet in her left wrist. It has a soft, golden color and a red crystal at the middle. Upon remembering her friends from Fairy Tail, even Natsu, her mood suddenly turned gloom and a dark aura surrounded her. Looking around, she knew that this room is utterly but refreshing familiar. She gasped upon seeing the view of the garden outside.

Now, was she really hallucinating? Or she's just half-awake? Or she just inside an illusion where she's inside her room?!
