(This was yesterday so today I'm actually at my Grandparents...sorry for interrupting)

(Lucy's P.O.V)

I was in a void. A dark, cold, lonely void. It was nothing but an endless oblivion with only the sight of darkness. I've been walking for who knows how long. When I walk straight I feel like I come back to the beginning of where I walked.

"Natsu...you guys...where are you?.." I don't really remember what happened or how I ended up here. The only thing that does ring a bell is that I was in a bright, protective sphere. There were also people calling for me in a panicked tone. I think it was Natsu and Teral...or was it Gray and Natsu? The one thing I do remember was the voice calling me the Light Goddess. Was she the one that brought me here?

"Yes Light Goddess. I'm the one that bought you between the realms."

Alright I'm getting tired of this voice coming out of nowhere speaking as if I know what's going on in the world! "Listen here...voice. I have had enough of this being called the Light Goddess and these stupid nightmares that I've been having recently! The only thing that I would gladly like to have is answers about me being the Light Goddess and it also linked to Aria, and knowing more about the Dark Ones! Will you please~...just give me that!?" I was fuming with confusion and I guess anger.

"Of course Lady Lucy. That's why I brought you here as well train you."

The voice still held a kind, gentle tone even from my outburst. I'll have to apologize later. "Just please follow my voice Lady Lucy. If you keep wandering then you'll become lost in the eternal darkness between the realms."

I began to follow the voice which felt like hours of walking, but the darkness soon faded into a beautiful grass field with clouds in the sky and tress scattered. The grass felt softer than Aries's wool bombs. The air was filled with magic. "What is this place? 'Where' is this place?" I asked to the unknown voice, turning to see the dark void no longer there.

"This is the realm of StarLight. It is a realm that the Light Goddess created for the balance of Light Magic to settle." The unknown voice sounded like a regular woman's voice. I glanced back to see her. The woman looked an inch taller than me, having sun kissed hair stopping at her knees. Her eye color was a rich golden caramel that glistened every time she blinked. The one thing common between us was her snowy skin that never seemed to be scratched or battered. The woman was wearing a short-sleeved yellow sundress that ended at her thighs and had white lacing in the upper area of the sundress. "I've been waiting for you Lucy. Twenty-five years in fact for the reincarnation of Aria's Light Goddess."

Did she say what I think she said... "I'm the reincarnation of the Light Goddess?" I questioned to her. She gave me a genuine smile. "Yes. I am the Light Goddess before you making me the first to ever hold Magic. My name is Seraphina, the holder and giver of Light Magic. I'm the one who brought Magic to the world and became the Light Goddess. And I chose you to be the next Light Goddess of my people or I must say now 'your' people." Seraphina bowed her head in respect.

I'm astonished by the news of hearing this. It does make a little more since now, yet even more confusing. "I know you must be confused and scared, but I'm here to guide you along the way to be an even better leader than I was. I hope you forgive me of taking you to another realm, but the Dark Ones are returning  with much more power than ever. So I must train you now for war."

Her once carefree mood was set to serious mode. "The Light Goddess was the leader from the last one. Are you saying that I'm going to have to be a leader to an army?!" Seraphina nodded and strolled closer to me. "This is only your first trial Lucy. More will come and you will be stronger to face them. For now, the first trial is to close every emotion and feeling you have ever felt. When war comes you will be the wizard you've always wanted to become. No doubt about that." I smirked at her with determined eyes. "I'm ready when you are Seraphenia!"

The dimple she had on her face left and walked closer to me with our body inches away from each other. "I hope you are Lucy, because if not then you may be here for quite awhile..." I made my face serious looking. "I'm ready."

Seraphenia put up her right hand on my forehead and began speaking a different language that sounded like she was singing with harps. My body became paralyzed with the sensation of me being on fire to becoming ice cold to the bone. The pain was unbearable to withstand, but the only thing I could do was close my eyes.

I felt Seraphina's hand lift from my head
with the singing language lingering in the air. Seraphina finally spoke to me. "I'm sorry I had to do that Lucy, but where you'll be going is a place that is no longer in my control. I also advice you to be careful Lucy. Whatever happens to you will retrace back to your physical body. Remember...control your emotions." With that said I could no longer feel her presence. The atmosphere became heavy sending chills up my body. I had a horrible gut feeling of knowing where I was.

'She wouldn't. Of all places she wouldn't bring me here...would she?"
I slowly opened my eyes to see the new appearance of Starlight. No...this isn't the green field with the tress dancing in the wind. It doesn't have the cloudy sky with the blue sky emitting the sun rays to everything in the land.

This...was far from the StarLight realm.
It was the one dream I wish to never return to. A place where I fear to see my dead friends with the red sky looking down upon me. The ruins making a once amazing city, look like a ghost decaying town of Magnolia. I fell to my knees to see the sight of my nightmare. "No...of all places...why..." My voice trembled with fear as well with my uncontrollable shaking body. Seraphina only greeted me to my fear and you can say death...
I'm back in my nightmare that I fought to never come back to. Only to know there is no way out for me this time...
