Fairy Tail: Another Forbidden Love (Lyon x OC) [BOOK 3]

Challenges (Part 2)

CELESTIA'S POV
"These eartlings really are something" I whisper to myself but it seems that Lyon heard me

"Yeah. They would do anything for their friends" Lyon smiles

We continue running, until we are out of breath. We stop for a while and sit down on the grass

"This...forest is really...big" I comment tiredly

"Juvia...is so...tired" Juvia says

"Mee too" Wendy noda

"Stay...strong Wendy" Even Carla is tired

"Hang in there everyone" Lyon looks at us sympathetically

"How long until we can get to the cliff?" Levy asks

"Who knows. We'll know when we get there" Gray answers

"I'm not letting the others' sacrifice go to waste" I say seriously

"Me neither. We owe you guys. Really" Lyon says sincerely

"Wow man. Didn't think you could be that sincere" Gray comments

"I guess Celestia has been a good influence on me" Lyon looks at me and smiles

"I never thought I'd ever hear someone saying I'm a good influence" I smile teasingly at him

"And I never thought Celestia could have a kind expression on her face" Panther Lily comments

"Huh?"

"Yeah, she always have that 'Don't you dare talk to me like we're friends' vibe, you know" Levy laughs

"Hmph. How rude. I'm a precious gem that not just anyone can be close with" I say proudly as I cross my arms

"Oh how love could change a person" Juvia squeals

"Aw man. Princess Cosmica isn't with you guys? Too bad" a voice sighs coming from in front of us

We quickly stand up, ready to fight

"She has a boyfriend you know" Carla says in irritation

"Carla" Wendy says in concern

"Yes, of course I know. Everyone in the Celestial Spirit World knows. The first Celestial Princess and the leader of the Zodiacs are together, very in love" Hydrus says with a smirk

"Well it's good that you know. So back off" I say, crossing my arms again

"Relax princess. I just admire her beauty that's all. You look similar to her. Cosmica have this cute vibe while you have a sexy vibe. Nice, you're really a beauty too" Hydrus says as he look at me up and down

"Thanks. I know right" I let my guard down and twirl gracefully

LYON'S POV
I glare at the guy

"But that doesn't mean I'll let you get the key that easily" he says as a bunch of monsters starts emerging from a pond nearby

"Sea monsters" Gajeel says

"What do we do?" Levy says as she starts panicking along with Lucy, Wendy, and Juvia

"So scary" Wendy says as she hugs herself in fear

"Eww. Those monsters looks so gross and unattractive" Celestia says bluntly

We sweat drop at her carefree attitude

'W-Well at least she's not scared'

"See ya" Hydrus says as he dashes off again

"We'll take care if this" Gajeel grins as Panther Lily nods
