โ€ข LAXUS' POV โ€ข

As for everyone else, they haven't gotten over it either. Everyone at least still talks to each other, trying to forget the pain they felt when Lucy left, but there isn't the special light in Fairy Tail anymore. Everyone misses that light. Everyone misses Lucy. I miss Lucy. I hope she misses us too.

Now:

โ€ข LUCY'S POV + Time Skip ~ 2:35 pm โ€ข

After lunch, Cassandra had me train my magic with Libra and Monika for the past hour and a half and we still have until 5:00 pm I believe. Monika's a descendant of Monoceros, the unicorn constellation. Monika was fairly pale with ombre pink and blue hair, pink near the roots to purple to blue on the ends. Her hair was currently in a half-up, half-down style, her hair in the back being tied up with a light blue bow. Her eyes were like icy crystals, being pure, shimmering light blue. She wore a pink kimono with a rosy pattern. She looked to be around Wendy's age but she stood even shorter at around 4' 9". 

Libra had orange-tanned skin and brown hair that was currently tied up in tall, space buns (it's her usual hair. I just don't know how to describe it). She wore a tight, short green dress with high rising black heeled boots. She had a black cloak on along with her yellow and red headband. Her eyes were piercing orange while her mouth was covered with a cloth that had the 'Libra' zodiac sign on it.

Right now, Libra's trying to help me learn the magic I had originally came here for. She said it's easier than trying to learn the new magic the gods implanted in me. She also said that I would first learn constellation magic, which is the magic I had came here for. I would then learn titan slayer magic after I master the constellation magic. After I master titan slaying, I will learn how to control the magic that the gods' gave me. From easiest magic to learn to hardest.

"Steady your breathing. Focus and imagine the stars' energy coursing through your body," Libra explained as she circled around me, observing me in the grass. We were out in the garden again and Libra had me lay down in the grass while I face the stars. Monika was also standing nearby to observe me concentrating. Cassandra and Callista were on the sidelines to simply watch how my training was going.

With my breathing becoming steady, I close my eyes to focus on my energy. Inhale through my nose. Exhale through my mouth. I imagine the stars' giving me their energy. My body is completely loose and relaxed. I feel energy coursing through my body, fluttering my eyes open to find my hand glowing and small stars dancing around my body. 

"It seems you've achieved the stars' power," Libra said as I pushed myself off the ground. Once on my feet, I reach my hand out to the small dancing stars. They dance on the skin of my arms, slightly tickling me, making me giggle.

"Release the power!" Monika cheered, making me extending my right arm out. I focus on releasing that power into a spell. I pulse my hand out as if I cast a spell and a small beam of light shoots out of my hand into a tree, leaving a small burn mark. My hands stop glowing and I sigh at how weak that attack was. 

"Don't worry! It was good for a first try!" Monika exclaims as she claps her hands to encourage me.

"Heh, thanks I guess," I responded as I turned to everyone. Monika came up to me holding out a stringless bow with no arrows.

"With this, you should be able to unlock the full power of constellation magic," she explained as she handed it to me. The bow was almost as if it was completely crystal. It didn't weigh much and it looked fragile, but I may or may not have dropped it and it didn't even have a scratch. It was light blue near the middle, slowly turning into a purple at the each end of the stringless bow. The ends of the bow had a wing-like design on it while it had a bright golden grip at the center, connecting the two limbs of the bow together. (picture \/ - imagine it without the arrow or the string)

"Thanks, but what is it suppose to do?" I asked as I held the golden grip of the bow.

"Much like your celestial keys, this bow can summon any constellation. Only with this bow, you can summon the full power of the constellation," Libra explained as she looked at the bow in my hand (I took this concept as inspiration from the webtoon 'The Witch and The Bull'. You should read it, it's really good). 

"Oooh! Can I try it now?" I exclaimed as I started jumping up and down like a child.

"Not right now. We'll get to that when you further your training in constellation magic," Libra told me. "Right now, let's focus on helping you with your star magic attacks." I nodded as I set the bow down in the grass.

โ€ข Time Skip ~ 9:00 pm โ€ข

After training my magic with Libra and Monika, I trained in combat for another hour with Heaven, the descendant of the constellation Hercules, and Paxton, the descendant of the constellation Perseus (No. Paxton's name was not going to originally be Percy). Heaven was a tough teacher while Paxton was more... childish, even though they both seemed to be around their early-mid 20s. They had me practice sword fighting, which I kind of sucked at, but I got slightly better. I got used to holding a sword but I'm nowhere near Erza's skill level.

I had dinner at 6:00, and after that, Cassandra had Capricorn tutor me for the past 2 hours, and I still had 1 more hour to go. Capricorn and I were in the library, studying books about Aecronican history. I was told I would need to learn a lot about Aecronica, the constellations, and the gods to help me with my magic.

"What year was Aecronica put into existence?" Capricorn questioned me as he read from a textbook. He was currently testing me on small, easy things about Aecronica without a textbook.

"Umm... Year XX65?" I answered, unsure if it was the correct answer or not.

"Close. It was XX63," Capricorn replied. "3 religions that blessed Aecronica?"

"Ancient Greek, Ancient Egyptian, and Old Norse," I say smugly, confident in my answer.

"Correct. What year did the Titanomachy start and how long did it last?"

"17CBC? It lasted for 10 years," I replied, only sure about the last part of my answer. (CBC is the same as century bc. I just changed it since they have a different way of measuring years in the anime/manga)

"It did last for 10 years but it started in 7CBC, not 17CBC," Capricorn corrected, making me nod my head as an indication of my understanding as I sighed. "This is only day 1. You're doing better than I thought you would do."

"Thanks. Wait-"

Capricorn quickly cuts me off. "Let's move onto the next page of the textbook," he says, making me flip to the next page.

โ€ข Time Skip ~ 10:05 pm โ€ข

After my lesson with Capricorn that ended at 10:00, Cassandra called it a day and allowed me to return to my bedroom. 

I returned to my bedroom, with the help of Callista due to me not being used to the layout of the palace yet. 

"If you need anything, me and Cassandra's bedroom is just to the left of yours," Callista explained before leaving me to rest. I walk into my large closet to change and take a shower.

I grabbed my white and black pajamas I wore on the first night I arrived here. It was still hanging in the changing room. I walked over to the undergarments drawer and I pulled open a drawer box containing my underwear. I grabbed a change of underwear and pushed the drawer box back in, walking into the bathroom afterward. 

I slid the bathroom door closed, locking it behind me. I placed my change of clothes on the clean sink counter. I turn on the bathtub faucet, water flowing into the white tub. Once it was almost full and at a warm temperature, I stopped the water flowing out of the faucet. I stripped out of my clothes, putting it off to the side as I climb into the water-filled tub. 

I sigh, thinking about the day that had just occurred. "Today's been a long, tiring day," I think to myself as I rub strawberry scented shampoo into my scalp. "But this is what I need to do so I can return to Fairy Tail and make them proud."

After my long, relaxing 30-minute bath, I climb out, grabbing a towel that hung on the wall next to the bath. I dried myself off, wrapping the white towel around my body. I grabbed my change of clothes that rested on the clean sink countertop and I changed into them, putting the towel back afterward. 

I grabbed the clothes that I wore today and held it in my hands as I walked out of the bathroom. I placed my dirty clothes into the basket that was in the changing room and I put my sneakers back on the shoe table. I then exited the large walk-in closet, entering my bedroom. My hair was still damp so I wanted to wait until I went to bed so that I don't get the pillows damp.

I walked over to the white traditional desk that resided in the corner of my room. I figure I should write a novel based on my adventures in Aecronica so that when I return, Levy can read it. I pulled out the white chair that was pushed into the desk. 

I sat down and looked in the only drawer box that was built into the side of the desk. There were sheets of paper there so I grabbed one and placed it on the desk. I pushed the drawer box back in and I pulled a quill and ink jar closer to the paper, originally being pushed against the wall on the desk. 

With the inked quill in hand, I started to think about everything that happened, from when I left, to meeting the god-kings, to now, and my hand just flew across the paper, writing down all the thoughts that floated in my mind.

This song legit has nothing to do with this chapter. I guess it does to an extent but this chapter is pretty uneventful except for the magic training tbh. I just made this chapter to show how her life was going to be like for the next few years.
