Tower of Heaven

Chapter 10

The following months after the decision, Totmaru took it upon himself to hang out with me whenever he wasn't out for a job. He was a great friend to have, even had funny things happening whenever he was around. I was glad that he wanted to spend his time with me that much, and he started to become somewhat like an elder sibling.

Saki Summers, the nurse that took care of me when I was in the hospital had gadly decided to take me in when I didn't have anywhere to go and I had enjoyed her immensely, thought I mostly think it's because I was friend with Totomaru someone she seems to have a crush on from what I observed of their interaction

Her little sister, Sakura Summers was easy enough to get along with. She looked remarkably similar to Saki although her hair was curly instead of Saki's straight ones and she had darker eyes then her. They looked like twins at first glance but it you stand and stare for a little longer, you'll notice the slight differences in height, voice and appearances. Sakura was a fashion girl and she always took me to buy new clothes around the first few months that I stayed with the two girls

When she had noticed the ugly scar on my hip she wanted to know how I have gotten it but instead of telling her, I simply decided to wear a belt around my hips to hide it. I didn't want anyone else asking about how I have gotten it

I didn't want to be reminded of how that mark had gotten upon my skin and I'd rather forget about that event if I wanted to but it wasn't that easy to get rid of those awful memories

My magic, on the other hand, was the most amazing thing

With just a thought I can summon out a large number of golden feathers around my form and make them do whatever I wished. It was strange to be able to feel the magic running through me but I was slowly getting used to having it's presence within me. It was easier to control than I anticipated to be considering that magic came from within me, and not me learning it from someone, I can understand the ease that came with it

Since I was still a newbiw in the guild, I wasn't allowed to go on a job yet and my magic wasn't stong to be used in an offense manner, meaning that I will have to train myself to be able to fight and grow stronger in both magical power and physical power

Now, dressed in a black skirt, purple short shirt, and high knee boots. Along with a black jacket with a hood pulled up on my head. I made my way back toward the guild so I could comfront Totomaru to train me. He was relatively one of the few Mage in the Guild that I get along with and in the early January air, the cold from the winter still in the air

I came into sight of the guild hall and enter inside, instantly searching for the Fire Mage. The guild didn't have much people inside considering they weren't much job request during the winter season. I made my way to the bar inside the guild to speak to Mary

Mary was a busty young women with blondie hair. She had sky blue eyes and was usually dressed in a dark red dress and hung out at the bar to serve the guild members food when they are here. She was the one who had given me my stamp last year

"Hey, Lucy" she greeted noticing me coming "What brings you here this early?" 

Morning, Mary" I greeted her with a small wave "Say, have you seen Totmaru around?"

The woman thought about it

"Yes, he was just there a few minutes ago," she said "He must be speaking with the Master about something. Why don't you wait for him here?"

I gace the woman a nod, and took a seat letting out a soft sigh. I stared out toward the guild with the few people present and it made me think of Erza-nee and Fairy Tail. 

"Did you already ate breakfast, Lucy?" Mary asked, drawing my attention back toward her

I nodded
