Chapter Nine: Piece by piece
*Natsu's Pov*
"What do you mean?" The master asked.
"I mean she remembers when the phantom guild attacked us years ago, well not all of what happened but she remembered being held captive in the tower. It came to her in a dream." I grinned happily.
The master looked at me. I couldn't read his expression.
"That's amazing. Truly amazing." He spoke softly.
The master stayed silent for a long time. He seemed to be thinking heard. As if his mind couldn't pick the right thing to say.
"We must not tell the guild though. They do not need to be riled up anymore than they already are. If they hear she has a memory they may try to do things to speed the process. But we cant let that happen. They have to come to her when the time is right"
I raised my eyebrow. I'd think he'd want everyone to know. But I guess this case was completely different.
I nodded. "Very well."
"I have some news for you as well Natsu." The master said after a moment.
"Yes?"
"Ultear has arrived a day early. She is staying at the inn in town for the night. She is very eager to meet Amaya and see what level her magic is currently at." He spoke.
I smiled. "Shall I take Amaya over there tonight?"
The master laughed. "Natsu, Amaya is your child. I have no say in what you do with her. If you wish to take her there then be my guest. I don't think you have quite grasped the concept that I you dont have to take orders from me on what happens to Amaya. I take them from you."
I nodded. "Of course. Its going to take some getting used to."
I walked back home where I found Lucy and Amaya reading a book I had bought Amaya a few weeks ago. They looked so lovely sitting next to each other.
Lucy had a protective arm around my small child, pulling her close to her.
"Hello girls." I smiled.
They both looked over at me.
"Daddy!" Amaya smiled in return.
"Hello Natsu." Lucy's beautiful voice sang.
"Get up, we are going visit a good friend of mine who is in town."
They did as I asked.
On the way to the inn, Amaya was constantly asking questions about with mystery person I was taking her to see.
It was beginning to get dark and the streets were much less crowded then they were before. We reached the inn soon enough.I told the lady at the counter who I was looking for and she directed us to a room on the third floor.
We stood in front of the door. I looked down at Amaya.
"You ready sweetheart?" I asked.
Amaya nodded as she reached for my hand and held it tight. I smiled and knocked on the door. Hard enough it could be heard through the whole room.
A few seconds later the door swung open. Ultear stood there, a smile spreading across her face.
"Natsu!" She grinned before hugging me.
She looked to Lucy. " Hello Lucy, I'm Ultear."
Lucy smiled at her. "Its very nice to meet you, again, Ultear."
Ultear's eyes fell on Amaya. "And you, you must be my lovely new student I have heard so much about!"
Amaya looked up at me with a grin wider than my own. " You brought me to see my new teacher!" She squealed.
"Well come on in you three!" Ultear spoke before moving out of the way.
The three of us did as she said and walked in. We sat on the couch close to the door as we entered her room.
"Its so nice to get to finally meet you, Amaya. I hear you can use Time magic."
Amaya nodded. "That's what Daddy says it is. Although Ive never seen someone else use it before."
Ultear smiled and looked at me. "Natsu, do you mind destroying my room please. Do your worst."
I laughed. "You might not want to tell me to do my worst."
"What?!" Lucy asked in a panic.
"Don't worry Lucy. I wouldn't ask him to do it if I didn't have faith in my abilities." Ultear smiled at her.
And with that I closed my eyes. I stood up and I could feel the fire surround my hands. As I moved around I could hear the place being set up in flames and thing shattering under my touch.
When I opened my eyes everything was red and nothing was left untouched. That's when Ultear stood up as well.
She held out her hands, my fire began to fade away as if it was never there in the first place. The shattered objects started to put themselves together again without a trace of them being broken.
Before I knew it the place looked as if it hadn't been touched at all. I had seen Ultear do even more incredible stuff before so this was no shock to me.
"WOW!" Amaya's small voice said in awe.
Ultear and I turned around to face her.
"Am I gonna be able to do that?!" She grinned.
Ultear nodded. "Yes, and much more."
"YA!" Amaya yelled happily.
Ultear took a vase that was sitting in the room and took it to Amaya. But before Amaya took it Ultear dropped it on the ground, watching it shatter.
"Now, you try. You've only done it once. It was on accident correct? I want to see if you are a fast learner."
Amaya nodded, she closed her eyes and held out her hands just as Ultear did. I knew that that part was unnecessary for Ultear to do but I figured it was for Amaya.
I watched as the pieces of glass started to shake, then, piece by piece the glass formed a perfect vase, with not a single crack or sign of one.
Amaya opened her eyes. She saw what she had done and began to grin.
"Hmm, that was fast. Not even I could make a perfect vase when I first started learning. Amaya, you are going to be much more powerful than me." Ultear said.
"Really?" Amaya said, the joy was so adorable on her face.
Ultear looked to me. "I will start with her tomorrow. She will be a quick learner I'm suspecting. So my services wont be needed as long as I thought. I will still stay here apart of Fairy Tail even after."
I nodded. "Very well."
My daughter was special. She was going to be a great wizard. I'm going to make sure of it.
