If your confused, go back and read the previous chapter. I have added onto it (April 7th, 2020) so if you read chapter 3 before that date, maybe reread it so that this chapter makes more sense.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Previously:

"Please believe that what I'm telling is the truth. Right now, we need to train you," she insisted.

"W-We?"

"Your family."

Now:

I can feel myself on the brink of tears. I still have family that's alive?

"I still have family?" I haven't experienced this happiness since Michelle / Gonzalez. 

"Technically, yes. We're all one species, while your whole life you were surrounded by humans except for your parents," Callista explained. I stared blankly at a wall. What does she mean? Am I not human?

"Our homeland is called Aecronica, The Sacred Universe. It's where all angels live," Callista explained.

"Angels?! Am I supposedly dead?!" I speculated, fear evident in my voice. I tense up a little bit at the thought that I've always been dead.

"No no no," Callista responded, shaking her head, making me calm down a little bit. "Angel in the sense of being close to the gods." I sigh a little bit, making me relieved that I haven't died yet.

"So both of my parents were angels?" I questioned, not really believing my dad to be an angel even if I've forgiven him. 

"Your mom was. Your dad... was a fairy," she explained, making me giggle a little bit at the thought of my dad being a fairy.

"You mean like the tooth fairy?" I chuckled as I glanced at Callista. I could see she was trying to refrain from laughing as well, and she was successful at keeping somewhat a straight face, making me stop laughing.

"Fairies are mischievous magical creatures that don't take anything seriously. Fairies were known to disobey the gods so when Layla's parents found out she fell in love with such a creature, they were furious (ayo, religious parents checkkkkk). She then ran away to Earthland with Jude to start a life of their own, and yet she still took on the responsibilities of being a princess. She later became queen with Jude as her king but they still lived here, in Earthland," Callista explained to me, staring at me intently, making me fidget with my finger as I had felt a little uncomfortable. 

"So if I go with you, I get to learn more about my parents?" I asked this mysteriously powerful girl.

"Evidently, yes, but you should know that responsibilities come first, as well as training your magic to live up to the name 'Goddess of the Stars'," Callista answered as she nodded her head. 

"So I learn more about my parents, as well as become stronger in learning magic?" This opportunity just seems too good to be true, especially at the time it came. I was evidently at my lowest, and this opportunity to know more about my parents, species, and powers came. I would be stupid to refuse.

Just as I was about to accept, my memories of my life at Fairy Tail flashed before my eyes. What about them? I can't just leave them. 

"How long will this training take?" I slowly muttered, suddenly feeling sad that I have a hard decision to make.

"Depends on how quickly you grasp the concept of the magic. If you're as intelligent as your ancestors, it should be sometime between 3 - 6 years," she responded, making me perk up. So if I learn quickly, I should be back to Fairy Tail in a few years.

"Okay, I'll go," I nod my head as I make up my mind.

"Really?!" Callista exclaimed as she looked at me with bright eyes. 

"Y-Yes?" I slowly say, making come out as more of a question.

"Yay!" Callista tackled me into a hug, making me worried at how quickly her personality changed. Just a few minutes ago, she seemed so serious. Now she seems like a completely different person.

"We must hurry! I'll open the portal to Aecronica," Callista quickly exclaims as she grabbed my hand and leads me out of the dusty old cabin. Right now? I have to tell Fairy Tail first!

"W-Wait!" I exclaim as I retrieve my hand back from Callista. She looks back at me, worry in her eyes. "I need to say goodbye to my friends first..." Her eyes instantly brighten back up. She must have thought that I didn't want to go with her anymore.

"You mean the Fairy Tailers? Of course, 'Your Highness'!" She exclaims as I playfully roll my eyes at the title. 

"Don't call me 'Your Highness'. Lucy's fine," I giggle as I see her face beam as if she came up with an idea.

"Can I call you Lulu?" She exclaimed, looking as hopeful as ever.

"Of course," I chuckled a little bit. I can tell me and Callista are going to be good friends.

• NATSU'S POV •

When we went to Luce's house, she wasn't there. Everything was clean and neat. All the lights were off and it didn't even smell like her. Not even a little bit. She must have not been here for at least a day. 

"I thought Mira said Luce was going home?" I asked Happy, who was sitting on Luce's couch. "It seems like she hasn't been here for hours."

"That's what Mira said. Weird," Happy replies as he starts going through Luce's stuff.

"Let's just go back to the guild hall," I shrug. Maybe Luce went back there.

"Aye!" Happy exclaims as he flies out the window. I jump out the window, following Happy back to the guild hall.

• LUCY' POV •

As if time flew by, the time I was dreading for came. To tell Fairy Tail of my absence for the next few years. I would need to quit Fairy Tail, wouldn't I? 

"You okay Lulu?" Callista asked me. "You're spacing out." I look back at her, seeing a worried look on her face.

"Yeah, don't worry. I'm just nervous to tell my friends that I'm going to be leaving them," I sigh. This is going to be harder than I thought.

"Don't be nervous! I'll be there with you," Callista exclaimed, the smile on her face instantly making me feel better.

"No offense, but I think you should stay out here. They'll ask questions if I bring a mysterious little girl with me," I giggle, making her pout.

"Then I won't be a little girl. Shapeshift: Fox!" Callista exclaims. She suddenly starts glowing brightly, almost blinding me. The light starts to shrink and begins to shape what seems to be an animal with 4 legs. The tail soon begins to take shape, as well as the ears popping out of what I think is the head. When the light vanishes, what's left is a black and gray fox with magnificent purple eyes.

"What just happened?" I asked, starstruck.

"I am Callista Orion, descendant of the great hunter and constellation Orion," she explains as I see her smiling slightly. "That makes me a descendant of the Greek god of the sea, Poseidon."

"You're related to a Greek god?" I exclaimed, curiosity hitting me like a truck.

"Yes yes. Now hurry up!" Callista responded, pushing my leg towards the guild hall entrance. I sigh. Here goes nothing.
