Capricorn had loved his master she was kind, supportive and helpful. She would never have left him no reason for him to hate her except one...

One afternoon Layla Heartfilia was crying in the kitchen. It would seem that Mr Heartfilia had made a terrible business decision with the Oracion sies guild. He had double crossed them in his haste for wealth and control. They had vowed to take drastic measures against the family and an epic war erupted...Mr Heartfilia had a very good influence on some of the neighbouring mage guilds surrounding his vast house and paid them to assist in his family's protection. One day Oracion sies's speed freak -Racer had came so close to little Lucy cot that Layla had no choice but to use her own magic; she summoned Capricorn (or Caprico as he like to be called) to assist in the battle. It was a sure fire win Caprico's magic slowed Racer so much that he retreated in fear of his apperent disadvantage that he had never felt before. Layla had decided to sort out this quarrel herself. She knew Capricorn was loyal to her so much so that it felt a little bit more like they were brother and sister. She explained to Caprico the current situation and explained what had to be done. She had asked him to attack the Oracion sies until they had thoroughly given up. Unfortunately this was against Capricorn's contract, but he promised to do so out of loyalty. There was just one caution to this tale Capricorn had made Layla promise that his freedom from their contract would be waiting for him when he got back. She agreed...

Many years had passed the Oracion sies had been quite persistent before they had fully given up. Capricorn had given them a very dignified retreat before he too retreated. He went straight back to The Great Heartfilia residence. Before going directly into the building he had noticed a sort of memorial . He came closer... It was a statue of an angel -imbedded into the front of it was the name Layla Heartfilia. Shock had hit him right across the face, and then a wave of sadness and respect filled him. He tilted his head in deep thought and sadness. He was sad over to things; one- that his respected master the one he felt was more like a sister to him had died, two- his contract had nearly been freed he came so very close. Now anger had started bubbling and snapping inside him

"how could she do this to me?" He spat. Another thing occurred to him as he sprinted to the house up three flights of stairs where he saw little Lucy Heartfilia playing with a doll and what looked like...a key ring and many keys. She turns around at her visitor in her otherwise silent and lonely corridor. "hey mister what are you doing here?" he had a slight piece of hesitation -she looked a great deal like Layla- he walked up to Lucy snatched the key ring away from her, took his key and while he was about to leave he turned and said "Find me when you are older, I will give you what your mother deserves" he hissed and disappeared. As he left the very lonely a secluded Lucy, abrupt and confused with silent tears trickling down her face from the sudden mention of her mother she begins to hum the same lullaby her mother hummed her.
