I train with fairies, demons, animagi, angels, wolves, etc. and learned every kind of magic throughout the next two years, and I finally get an exceed. Her fur was a vivid, electric blue, and she could shape shift into a dragon, a wolf, a phoenix, or even a human. She prefers her dragon form best, however. I name her Saphira, and she becomes my constant companion. She's pretty powerful, too. Saphira could murder Natsu in her sleep. My personality changed from constantly cheerful and enthusiastic to sarcastic and cynical. I become more of a loner, less trusting to people in general, except all my friends, of course. Athena taught me to control my magic. If I don't keep it at 0.05 or lower, people start fainting. I usually keep it on 0.03 percent, just to have an average. My hair becomes a mix of honey and light blond, and it is a lighter shade than even Athena's hair, a few away from white. My eyes have changed from chocolate to stormy gray that changed and showed different colors like a rainbow in the light. My boobs got smaller, until now, I am basically flat-chested, but it is better that way, because I can physically fight now. I can win a fight with my hands tied behind my back versus magic. I am no longer helpless.

It was the end of my training, and I was going to leave the dragon realm temporarily. "Open portal: Fairy Tail, Magnolia." I turn to everyone who had become my friends in the last years. "Goodbye for now, minna! I will come back!" Saphira perches on my shoulder, saying nothing. Wendy walks next to me, silent as well. She has grown a lot since we have come here; she's not a little girl anymore. Her hair is now sky blue, and her eyes changed from warm earthy brown to a shade of azure. A silent fire burns in them. I take one last look at the realm, then step through the portal, feeling the all-too-familiar sense of space expanding and contracting. I stumble into the sunlight, raising the hood on my dark cape, and Wendy does likewise. Even though I had changed physically, we couldn't risk being recognized before reaching Master. I hold the door open for Wendy, and enter myself. The guild is nothing like I left it. Gray is comforting a sobbing Juvia in the corner, Romeo looks incomplete somehow, Erza is yelling at Natsu repeatedly, and Lisanna is clinging to Natsu, and Natsu himself is trying to shake both of them off. I slip silently to Mira and ask in a low but solemn voice, "Do you know where your master is?" She pointed up the stairs, and I nod. Of course he would be in his office/room place. Typical Master. I gracefully traipse up the stairs, Wendy wordlessly trailing me.
When we close the door behind us, Wendy and I sweep off our hoods in one fluid motion. "We would like to rejoin the guild," I announce. He gasps. "Lucy? Wendy?" Surprisingly, Makarov recognizes us. He, pulling us into a bear hug, runs toward us bawling. "I want to see how long it takes them to figure out that it's us," Wendy's voice rings out. "Yes. Yes, of course." Master sniffles. "It's so good to see you! Where would you like to put your guildmarks this time?" Wendy points to her thigh. "Blue, please. Same color as my hair." Sapphire is next. "My turn!" She sings out. "On my back, please! Red!" I am last. "Black with shimmering gold please, if you can do that." I stand still as he places the cold stamp against my neck, and he holds up a mirror. The black is apparent, but where it catches the light, it is gold. I smile in satisfaction. "By the way, Master, my name is now Tris." I state. (References! Don't kill me.) "And mine will be Serena," Wendy pipes up.

Master walks out to the guild and shushes them. Repeatedly. Until finally he's sick of it. "ATTENTION!" Finally, the squabbles halt. "We have new members!" He points at each of us in turn. "Tris, Saphira, and Serena! They are sisters of blood, spirit, and soul. I advise you not to mess with them." "They don't look too strong! I bet I could beat them singlehandedly!" A certain idiot screams out. My heart wrenches, then drops. "Actually, Salamander, it's the other way around. If my partner L- Tris initiates it, we will battle you!" Saphira calls out, ever the outgoing one. "And your whole team! Bring anyone and everyone."

A/N- well, quite the daring battle you've started, Saphira! Can they really defeat the whole team, with just Saphira, Lucy, and Wendy! Next update coming soon!
