["Bring me those texts"] Gildarts shouts to Cana.
The guild was a hive of activity as members mobilized to address the escalating threat. Strategies were debated, plans were formulated, and warnings were sent out across Fiore. Gray, Juvia, Gajeel, Erza, and others brainstormed tirelessly, determined to protect their home and loved ones. Master and Laxus coordinated with other guilds and reached out to the council to ensure that everyone was aware of the looming danger.
Meanwhile, Jellal and Erik worked late into the night, poring over ancient texts and mystical artifacts. Jellal's deep understanding of magical history and Erik's expertise in enchanted relics provided crucial insights. They searched for any additional clues that might reveal more about the dark force threatening their world.
When Lucy finally returned to her apartment, exhaustion weighed heavily on her. She hoped for a brief respite, but as she closed her eyes, the nightmares that had plagued her for days resurfaced. Shadows whispered in her mind, their voices echoing with dark promises.
She jolted awake, gasping for air and drenched in sweat. Just as the darkness seemed to close in, her celestial spirit, Grandpa Crux, appeared before her. His presence was a comforting contrast to the terror she felt.
["Grandpa Crux?"] Lucy's voice was shaky. ["Did you find anything?"]
Crux's expression was serious. ["Lucy, I've spoken with the Celestial King. The situation is more dire than we realized. The King wishes to see you immediately."]
Lucy nodded, determination overriding her fear. ["I'll go right away."]
In the Celestial World, Lucy was greeted by her spirits and the Celestial King. Despite their warm welcome, an undercurrent of unease lingered.
["Lucy,"] the Celestial King began, his voice filled with concern. ["The threat you're investigating is more dangerous than you can imagine. Why are you pursuing this?"]
Lucy took a deep breath. ["I've been having troubling nightmares about Fairy-- no not just Fairy Tail but whole kingdom of Fiore is in fire everywhere is chaos and death my friends and loved ones all perish--, "] she chocked a little and continues["I also discovered that now I have new magic. Fairy and dark magic with my own Celestial magic. I'm afraid of what might happen if I don't fully understand it."]
The Celestial King's expression grew grave.
["The force you're dealing with is linked to an ancient enemy known as the Titan King. In the era of Zeref and Acnologia, this being was as feared as they were. The Titan King sought a mage with your powers and caused widespread destruction until Zeref, with celestial magic, sealed him away."]
Lucy's heart sank and shocked she asked, ["What should I do?"]
["You must understand your new powers,"] the King advised.
["With Fairy, Dark, and Celestial magic, you might be able to defeat the Titan King. But beware—his minions will come for you to capture you before he awakens. Stay on guard."]
Lucy was overwhelmed by the gravity of the situation. ["I'll keep this secret for now. Please all of you also keep it secret for now. I'll tell my friends when the time is right."]
Celestial Spirits understanding the situation agrees to keep quiet for now.
Returning to her apartment, Lucy found Natsu waiting for her, his concern evident.
["Natsu, what are you doing here? Where is Happy?"] Lucy asked, trying to mask her unease.
["Happy's helping with research alongside Wendy, Levy, Carla, and Fried,"] Natsu explained. ["Where have you been?"]
Lucy hesitated. ["The Celestial King wanted to see me. He had some important information."]
Natsu's gaze grew intense. ["What did he say?"]
