Lucy P.O.V

All of us were at the Cilorthia Hospital, waiting for their conditions. I prayed, hoping that they were all alright. Natsu held my hand, which gave me a little more comfort. The doctor who was treating Wendy and the others appeared, and we stood up from our chairs. "How are they?" Natsu asked.

"The little girl was the first to awaken, and she insisted that she heals the others on her own." The doctor informed us. I sighed with relief. If Wendy was alright, then the others would be alright as well, I thought. "May we see them?" I asked polietley.

"Of course." The doctor said with a gentle smile. He told us that the room was 20034. We searched until we heard a loud, "Be a little more gentle!" I knew that gruff and husky voice from anywhere. We walked into the room to see Wendy healing everyone. Gajeel looked like he had the most wounds, but the Exceeds looked like they were in a little pain as well. "You're alright!" I exclaimed with relief, hugging Wendy.

"Sorry we couldn't get there sooner." Natsu apoligized.

"At least you were able to defeat him. He was the cause of all the changes. Everything is back to normal." Wendy said using her adorable smile.

"What took you guys so long, anyways?" Carla asked.

"Yeah! While we were fighting, what were you doing!" Gajeel yelled. My face began to burn up. I looked over at Natsu, and his face was a little red too. Happy suddenly gasped and exclaimed, "Something happened between you two!"

"What do you mean?" Pantherlily asked, not getting it.

"Something romantic. Am I right Natsu?" Happy asked with a mischevious smile.

Natsu's face turned to an even brighter shade of red. "Maybe."

"We kind of.....kissed." I confessed.

"Eh!?!?!" Everyone gasped. I giggled awkwardly, and Natsu held my hand tightly. Wendy squealed with excitment. "Wow, Lucy! You finally had your first kiss!" Wendy said, revealing my secret that I've never been kissed.

"W-Wendy! That was our secret!" I said.

"Woah, that was your first kiss?" Natsu asked, blushing a little more. Blushing like crazy,  I nodded slowly. 

"Aw. Isn't that just adorable." Carla sighed.

"I feel sick." Gajeel grumbled.

"C-C-Can we please change the subject." I begged.

"I agree!" Natsu exclaimed.

"Fine, fine. Let's talk about that god." Wendy suggested. My mind flashed to the God of Love. He was very strong, sure, but luckily we were able to defeat him. "He was one of them." I told them.

"One of what?" Natsu asked.

"The six gods in my dream. He was the our first test." I said grimmly.

"But how did he appear anyway?" Happy asked.

"He appears when strong love is awakened. In otherwords, Natsu and Lucy's love for eachother." Carla explained. Yes, I guess because of our love that he appeared, I thought guiltly. Natsu must've noticed my emotions, because he held my hand even tighter. "But what do these gods want?" Gajeel asked.

I shrugged. "Maybe I could go do a little research at the Cilorthia Library."

"Brilliant!" Wendy exclaimed. "I'll continue to heal these four. You two just go on ahead." We nodded and headed out the room. 

Natsu P.O.V

We walked back to the Cilorthia Library in silence. I wanted to say something, but nothing would come out of my mouth. I looked over at Lucy, who was in a trance, probably thinking about something. "Hey, Lucy." I called. But she didn't answer. 

"Lucy." I called again, but still no answer. I began to worry. I grabbed Lucy's shoulders and yelled, "Lucy!"

Lucy snapped back to reality. "Huh?"

"I've called your name like three times." I sighed.

"Oh, really? I didn't hear." She said silently. Her face was expressionless. "Are you alright?" I asked.

"I was just thinking," was all she said.

"About what?" I asked.

She was silent for a minute, but then she asked, "If that god appeared because of our love, does that mean our love is dangerous?"

I stopped walking and stared at Lucy. Her blue eyes not only showed fear, but sadness as well. Her question struck my heart deeply. I grabbed Lucy's arm and pulled her to my side. I held her tightly, never wanting to let her go. "Even if it is, " I whispered, " I won't let you go." I could see a crowd starting to circle us, staring at us with awe. "You promise?" Lucy asked.

"Promise."

When we arrived at the Library, it was more crowded than it was a few hours ago. "Where do we even start?" I sighed, realizing that this Library was never ending.

"We need to find a book about the six gods, so lets just seach 'six gods'." Lucy suggested. Again, the ground began to rise, and I smiled. "Yes! Another ride!" I cheered. Lucy laughed. We began to fly  around the Library, the ground looking for the right book. I could hear Lucy screaming with joy. I joined along and cheered, "This is still awesome!" Sadly, we reached our destination. Unlike the adventure section, this one was more eerie and old, cobwebs at every corner and dust filling the air. "Uh..Are we really at the right place?" Lucy asked, fear filling up her voice.

"It's gotta be." I said, trying to hide my fear. We walked around and searched for something useful. We could hear mice everywhere, scaring Lucy. "I hate rats!" She screamed.

"They're mice." I corrected.

"Whatever." She grumbled. We continued our search. I noticed out of all the old and worn out books, there was one glistening gold. I reached for it and read the cover. "The Book of Answers."

"Did you find anything?" Lucy asked.

"Yeah, an odd book." I gave her the book, and she inspected it. "You think it'll help us."

"It's worth a try." She opened the book, and the book began to shine bright. "What the-" I said, but my eyes were blinded by the light. When the light disappeared, I was able to open my eyes. "Are you alright?" I asked, my vision still a little blurry.

"Yeah, I'm fine." She assured me with a gentle smile. She looked inside the book and started to flipp the pages. "Well, did you find anything?" I asked.

"This book is blank." Lucy said blankly.

"With that burst of light! There has to be something in there." I gaped.

"No, nothing." Lucy sat on the ground and sighed. "I wish we could find out something about the Six Gods." Suddenly, the book began to shine brightly again, but not as bright like last time. Lucy looked down at the book and gasped, staring at it with wonder. "No way!" Lucy said with shock.

"What now?" I asked.

"It's not blank anymore!" Lucy exclaimed.

I looked at her with shock. "What!" I sat (more like fell) next to her and looked inside the book. She wasn't joking, thats for sure. The pages were filled with words and pictures. "But..how?" I asked her.

"Maybe it's the soovides raamat!" She exclaimed.

"Um, not quite following you." I told her.

"It means 'Wishing Book'. It's an ancient book that would answer all your questions." She explained. She looked around the cover, spine, and back of the the book. "This book doesn't have a bar code, which means it doesn't belong to the library."

"Then what's it doing here?"

"Maybe it wanted us to find it." Lucy whispered. This was become serious. Lucy's dream, the attack at the beach, it was all falling to place. And by looking at Lucy, she didn't want this to happened. And neither did I. I grabbed her shoulder and brought it closer to my body. "Do you want to read it, or should I?" I asked.

She grdabbed my hand, and squeezed it. Her hand was shaking a little, but she answered, "I will."

She adjusted herself so that her back was on my chest. She began to read :

Once upon a time, there were six magicians who roamed around the world, trying to fix problems of the human heart. It was their sworn duty to make it right in a human heart. But one by one, their worlds began to crumble. The first magician's name was Carwyn, who wanted to help those who were in love. But everytime he tried, he failed, even his love crumbled. Soon, the Devil said, "You are now the God of Love! Your duty is to destroy love!" With one swipe, the magician was turned into a stone cupid, living in the clouds for all eternity. The second magician's name was Aischylos, who wanted to rid the human heart of pain. He became a healer for the King himself, but when he makes a tragic mistake, he cuts his hands off, never wanting to heal again. The Devil came upon him and said, "You are now the God of Pain! Your duty is to cause pain to the world!" With one swipe, he turned Aischylos into a demon, burying him to the grounds of hell. The third magician's name was Ares, who wanted to get rid of anger. He started doing tricks and making people smile. When one of his tricks go way to far, he sews his one mouth so that he always smiles, even though he can never truly smile again. The Devil came upon him and said, "You are now the God of Anger. Your duty is to destroy all that is joyful!" With one swipe, he turned Ares into a soldier, making im battle all the bloddy battles. The fourth magician's name was Judas, who wanted to fill the human heart with trust. He began to make promises with strangers, making htem trust him autimatically. When the person he trusted the most betrays him, he begins to betray everyone he knew, including his caring wife and children.  The Devil appeared and said, "You are now the God of Betrayal! You vanquish all of trust!" He turns Judas into a an asassin and turned his heart into stone, sending him to the Land of the Dead. The fifth magician's name was Brone, who wanted everyone to forget the feeling of grief. He became a priest, preaching about how grief will only cause sadness to the heart. But when his beloved dies, the only thing he could feel was grief. He turned from a powerful preacher to a sorrowful man. The Devil appeared and said to him, "You are now the God of Grief! Turn everyone's heart to grief and sorrow!" The Devil turned the magician into the grim reaper, forcing him to destroy all of life itself. The final magician's name was Oliver, who wanted to make amends with his past. He began to plead for the forgivness of all of those he's done wrong too. But grimmly, those he wronged turned against him, and never wanted to forgive him. The Devil appeared infront of him and said, "You are now the God of Regret. Recreate everyone's regrets that they wish to vanquish!" He turned Oliver into a sandman, making him able to turn back the clock. For centuries, they have done what they were told to do. But soon, something appeared that made them not only angry, but furious. The Dragons and Dragon Slayers, The Creater's creation. They are the ones who have no regret, no anger, no grief, no betrayal, no pain, and still have love in their hearts. Soon, all the Gods came together and devised a plan : To rid of the Dragon Slayers on the night of the one millionth eclipse. On that day, they plan to roam free again, and destroy the world with their power.

Lucy P.O.V

Tears began to fall down my face as I finished the story. How could something so cruel happen to those who only wanted to do good? Natsu brought my head close to his body. "Terrible." I said, my voice cracking up. "This is just terrible."

"This can be true." Natsu gasped. "It just can't be true." He rubbed my back, trying to ease my pain, but it wasn't working. "But what does this mean?" He asked.

"It means we'll be facing the other five gods." I cried, tears streaming down my face. "We'll face all those signs." I hugged Natsu's boddy and cried even more. I hated this. Our love was finally announced, yet something devestating has to happen first in our near future. "Why does this have to happen now?" I asked Natsu.

"I don't know Lucy. I just don't know." He sighed. I lifted my head from his body and sat on his legs. I looked him in the eys to see something I've never seen coming from Natsu's eyes. Tears, clear as crystal, were streaming down his face as well. He wrapped his warm and muscular arms around me and whispered, "I don't want this either."

I wiped his tears away and tried to smile. "Let's make a vow."

"A vow?" He asked.

"A vow that no matter what comes in our way, we will always love eachother." I told him. I looked out the rusty window to see the moon shining brightly, but because of how badly the window was, it didn't look white, but it looked like a rainbow. "A vow under the rainbow moon."

He smiled at me and wiped my tears away. "I like that vow." And with that, he leaned in and kissed my lips. Intense, yet gentle. His lips were warm, his breathe was hot. He held me tightly and said between our kisses, "Now and forever."
