~Chapter 8~

Capricorn was a goat humanoid. He had a dark pair of sunglasses over his face as even I had never seen him without them. As a humanoid he is human shape as his looks of a goat. He had the goat fur for skin as the hairs around his chin were longer giving off a beard look. Capricorn was wearing a suit as if a head butler for a rich mansion and family. The suit black normal with of course a tail whip at the bottom of his suit jacket. He would wear white gloves as they was shaped human well but the fingernails. 

Capricorn was an amazing teacher and healer when in need. He and Virgo would help with the Inn the most. Capricorn was amazing with handling very angry customers. He had ways of being a leader and head butler that went with his looks. "Lady Lucy please stay behind me and away from the fight" Capricorn spoke as the golden key that was once in my hand had went into my own hand. Being sucked in as if it was quicksand. Summoning Capricorn with summoning Aquarius early would of been a pain.

I was struggling slightly with Aquarius. She used so much magic and summoned her own water in pure rage as that alone made her go over our limit. I was only now starting to feel the affects. Capricorn had let his key give me some extra magic so I was able to handle myself if needed. When there was a fight Capricorn or Leo would deal with it. Capricorn would ask me to stay away from it, he would always made sure I was safe even while in the fight itself. Capricorn was protective like many of the spirits I had made friends with.

I knew that Celestail Magic had a bad name when the mages came from the Fire or Ice Kingdoms. Normally those Mages would use the spirit's as if they was shields or weapons. They wasn't some tool. They was a person. They had feelings. They was able to feel pain even. When fights were to break out with bandits or just drunks it would be me using Leo or Capricorn most of the time to deal with it. None of them wanted me near the fight as they thought it would give me some bad impression. 

Many still treated me as the young child I was once. They cared about me as much as I cared for her. My spirits were not just my friends and helpers....They was my family. They was a family I had other than Eclair and Michelle. Other than Michelle's parents but many times even Eclair and Michelle would be kind toward the spirits and were both truly good people at heart. Both of them wanted to help others in different ways what got them to clash into arguments but that would be what sister's do.

"Please be careful Capricorn" I had replied to him as Ikaruga had pulled her blade from it's hostler as the hostler itself had vanished. I was slightly shocked at it but soon unknown blossom petals were starting to come into the air. There was no blossom trees near this village with it being at the border of the Ice and Fire Kingdoms. It was nearly impossible for certain plants could grow here. The weather and temperature would be very out of control when one of the King's of the Kingdom's were upset.

"I shall give you one chance Lucy. Hand yourself over and I shall make sure that even the two girls you call sisters will not get harmed anymore" Ikaruga spoke as her smirk and face was showing she wanted this fight. She wanted to test her own strength in battle. I saw by her eyes that she meant the offer. I was unsure on what to think or do. My own mind was on about not being able to trust her or Totomaru or Angel. My heart on the other hand wanted me to give up just to see them again.

Just to of known they was alive. To keep the two of them safe was all I wanted. Ikaruga raised an eyebrow slightly as I was thinking of her offer. It matched up to what Totomaru and Angle spoke about before I was unsure. My own mind and gut matching for once in not believing in them my heart was reaching out for my sisters. My own guilt and fear was holding me back from thinking straight. I then closed my eyes slightly shook my head as I felt a huge breeze of wind hit me. I opened my eyes to see Capricorn fighting with Ikaruga.

He himself was able to fight the woman who was in pure shock that Capricorn using his wrist to block her swords hits was working. Capricorn and Leo both have the skill for fighting in hand-to-hand combat. Both were very skilled as I was feeling light headed as the magic drain was starting to hit. I knew that when Capricorn went back I would of gotten a huge drain lash but I did not care for my own health. I did not care even if I would have to face death. I was going to get to my two sisters. In my own way.

I wasn't going to trust the people who had killed the grown males in the village. I wasn't going to trust people who would hurt others and young children. I wasn't going to back down also. The petals were starting to dance around as there was no wind around us to control their movement. My eyes had widen slightly as I knew what they were. Ikaruga's magic. I had heard of stories of some people who worked with monsters and the worst that could live who were skilled in using a sword.

One was known as the 'Petal Dancer'. The stories talked of the petals listening to her heart as Capricorn had many petals dancing toward him. Nearly each one being different type of dance to the other. I got worri

ed as I was about to shout for Capricorn to worried as I felt a huge amount of magic right next to me. My eyes had worried before I was able to move, speak, think or even notice fully I had heard Capricorn shouting my name as the ground below my feet exploded. The blast had crumpled must of the ground around me.

I ended up falling down the Canyon that Ikaruga had made to stop me from getting to Erza. I was heading toward the ground, faster and faster. I didn't scream in fear as I knew most would of as I pulled a holder of a whip from my belt. This whip linked to my spirit Virgo. I used the whip that Virgo had given me, she was into punishments but I had never gave her one once. I was unable to bring myself to hurt my family. I used the whip acting if it was there swung toward the wall. While doing so a blue glow grew from the end.

It turning the holder into a real whip as it had a yellow lightening light around at it as the whip was very powerful alone. It took parts of my magic but I was not the best in using it. The whip being magic was able to sense what I needed as I watched it clash into the the side that was now pure rock. It was stuck there as I was then at a sudden stop of the fall. It had hurt my arms like crazy as I bit my bottom lip to hold back a scream in pain. I thought I had pulled my arm out of its socket. I was able to taste some blood from my lips.

I looked down to see my feet were only just floating above the ground of the newly made canyon. I was able to sense Capricorn was still fighting Ikaruga as I made the whip let go of the wall and vanish. Only part I had was the black holder as my arm was in a ton of pain. I placed the holder back on my belt as I saw how lucky I was. Parts of the canyon floor having spikes that would of killed me as I had gotten my whip to grab the wall. I looked around as it was long as hell and was very deep. 

My mind wasn't on if I would be able to get out or how to climb out. My mind was still on that guilt. My mind still on the Prince even. I was hoping that he and Erza were both already. I looked toward my right arm and used my left hand to touch under my should. The pain from afterwards I nearly screamed in pain but the pain was so much it stopped me from making a noise. I knew that dealing with this was to push it back into place. I closed my eyes and got ready to bite my bleeding lip once more.

I took a deep breath once more as touch the arm itself was hurting as being in the Inn and living in the type of village I was in, we helped each other. I pushed and painfully put my arm back into place as the bit didn't work as I screamed in pain, falling onto my knees as I felt tears going down my cheeks from the pain. "I can't be weak" I snapped quietly to myself as then was when I heard the echo throughout the canyon. I was unable to hear anyone above as I felt very tired. I had been through lot of pain.

I wasn't letting that stop me. I saw that the canyon was not a fall clean cut downward. I moved to a part of the wall as when down her you was able to climb up at lest 70% of the wall. The last 30% I was unsure on as my sights were not that good. I put my hand on Eclair's necklace once more. "I am coming, please.....Hang in there" I whispered as I was hoping that they heard me before I had started my climb.
