Lucy's Point of view

Sitting on a train for 6 hours can really hurt your butt. I finally reach the town of Hvid Engel. From what I heard it's a peaceful town. They rarely have monsters attack because there is said to be a beast protecting the town. I got off the train and just by looking at it, the town was beautiful. As I started to walk around the town I notice everyone was doing their own thing. I walked around looking for a hotel, once I found it I asked for a room, and I got one. The hotel was pretty cheap. I dropped my bag off in my room and explored the town. I walked into a cafe called 'Faith's Little cafe." It was cute and very modern. I walked up to the cashier and saw all the food on display. 

"Hello, what would you like?" The cashier asked. The cashier was a girl in her teens, she had light brown hair and light grey eyes.

"A strawberry smoothie and a blueberry muffin."

"Ok that's 5 and can I have your name?"

"Lucy" I responded back and gave her the money.

"Ok, your order will be out soon." She said before disappearing. I sat down at one of the tables. The place wasn't packed either was it empty. It had a few people inside, enjoying their food.

"Lucy." I heard my name called. I grabbed my food walked out. I walked around town some more till I came across a bookstore. I walked in and there were just rows and rows of books.

"Hello dear, what can I help you with?" The person said behind the desk. He was an older man, his hair was already turning grey. 

"Um, do you have any books on celestial magic?"

"Yes, we actually do. If you go all the way to the back you'll find books on magic. They're in alphabetical order so look under the Cs." The man said.

"Ok thanks." I head to the back and every two shelves was another letter. I went to the Cs and 

There were only two books in that section. I grabbed the two books and sat at one of the tables the shop had. 

One of the books was labeled, "Celestial Magic, What Is Unknown."

"That book is empty. People buy it but returned it cause nothing inside." The shopkeeper said, appearing out of nowhere. I opened it but it wasn't empty as he said, the papers were filed.

"Wait, are you a Celestial maga?"

"Yea, why?"

"Well, the face you made once you opened the book. So is there something on there?"

"Yea, it seems only celestial magas can read this." 

"Well, That's good to know. Anyways I leave you to whatever you're doing." He said before going back to the front.

The first page had an index,

Is this a guide for beginners? I thought. I went to the next page and started reading.

What To Know About Celestial Magic.

Celestial Magic is the most unique magic known. So far no other magic is close to this magic. You gather keys and these keys are what they can tell the difference between celestial and any other magic. These keys are gateways for celestial spirits to pass through from their world into our world. The spirits help their master in battle or whatever they are doing.

Really, masters. 

Much More Than Keys

Most outsiders think that it's just keys but it isn't, it's so much more. From celestial magas, the bonds that the key holder and spirit have is very important. For this magic, you don't have to train to become stronger, you have to make the bond between spirit and you stronger. The stronger the bond, the stronger you and your spirit are. Sometimes, if the bond is so strong the spirit can come into our world without the maga calling them.

As I said with the bonds, I have experienced this myself is that if the bonds are so strong you can go deep into your own magic. I, myself, have used this type of magic. This magic is where you can use your own spirit power. Since I was the first person to use this, I named it Stardesses. I'll explain further. I had Leo, the lion, and I was able to use his stardress. My clothes change into formal clothes, a black dress, and heels, then his zodiac sign appeared on my arm. We fought alongside each other with me using his magic. Since I had barely unlocked his stardress I knew I needed to work on it which I did. He helped me and our bond grew with our magic. Since I was bonded with the other zodiac I was able to use their Stardesses too. I tried it with my silver keys which took a lot of work but in the end, I was able to unlock them. I do advise that for the silver keys that you be patient, these keys aren't really supposed to have Stardesses. It's going to take a lot of work.

So you know of the bonds and Stardresses. But did you know that you can enter other worlds too? Celestial Magic, by using gateways to let spirits enter our world, we can make gateways into other worlds. At first, it's going to be hard and you might not be able to open a portal but as you work more on it you'll be able to open one with a snap of your fingers. It takes a lot of concentration to open a portal.

I closed the book shut and pushed it away. I already knew most of the things that they talked about because once you become a Celestial maga you are told many secrets that all Celestial magas are told. We promise to keep what we are told a secret because what we are able to do gets out to dark guilds and other people, Celestial magas will be hunted or worse and that's why we are weak. We don't want to show our true power for a lot of dangers that come with it.

"Dear, the shop is closing." The man said.

"Oh, sorry," I said I placed the books back on the shelf. Once I got outside, I saw that the sky was already dark. I headed back to my hotel and when I entered, the lady at the desk greeted me. I head to my room, took a quick shower, and went to bed.

I woke up to the birds chirping and the sunlight goes through my open curtains. I sat up, rubbed my eyes and looked around the room. I took another shower and got my stuff together. I opened the door with my bag over my shoulder, I looked back into the room and made sure I left nothing behind. When I went to the desk nobody was there so I left the key on the counter and head on out. I can never stay in one place for too long cause they could find me and right now I need to stay on the move because I just disappeared so they'll look at town to town to find me. I went around the town once more before going to the forest entrance. I looked behind me before pulling my hood up and walked in.

It's been a while since I entered the forest. No monsters have appeared, heck no even a rabbit or a bird have been seen or heard. I kept walking till I reach a cave. I entered the cave and all I saw were these beautiful gems that covered the walls and ceiling. The cave was the size of a hallway till I found a big room. What I saw sleep made me gasp (nearly screamed) waking what was sleeping.
