Demigods or Fairies?

Chapter 3

{Lucy POV}

The boy with the sword was very unusual. He seemed to be a wizard, but he didn't know what a guild was. He had a sword, but it didn't look like it was from here either...

"Maybe he came from across the sea?" I asked. We were at the guild. The boy sat at the table after waking up from Natsu's kick. His so-called pen was in his hand, but I knew it turned into a sword.

"So you didn't see anything besides him taking out a sword." Erza confirmed. Natsu and I nodded.

"Um...what is this place?" The boy asked. He was very handsome.

Wait, what?

"Where are you from?" Mira asked. He looked at us weirdly.

"Well, I'm not from Japan, obviously. Are you all demigods?"

"What's a demigod?" Gray asked. We shrugged.

"Maybe I can ask Grandpa Crux." I suggested. I took out his key.

"Open, gate of the Southern Cross: Crux!"

"What the—" He uncapped his sword. We gasped.

"Woah..." Erza said. "I've never seen anything like that..."

"What kind of powers are those? Oh my gods, don't tell me there's another set of gods lying around. Please don't."

"Um...no." Levy said. "Wait. Gods? As in, plural?"

"Yes, gods. You know, the Greek ones. Zeus, Poseidon, Athena, Apollo..." He suddenly put his hands to his mouth. "I'm not supposed to say those names."

"Grandpa Crux. Can you identify what he's talking about?" I pointed at the boy.

"Of course." He fell asleep.

"Um...he's asleep."

"That means he's thinking, sword boy."

"Excuse me?"

"You didn't tell us your name." Gray said.

"I don't tell my names to perverts." He said, pointing. Gray looked down and sighed.

"Where did they go now?" He asked.

"Um..."

"Gah!" Grandpa Crux snapped awake.

"Did you find something, Grandpa Crux?"

"Yes, but Lucy..."

"Hm?"

"Knowing about this boy is bad, very bad. You are dealing with forces that can destroy the world."

"What do you mean?" He shook his head sadly.

"I'm afraid I can't tell." He disappeared.

"Wait, Grandpa Crux!"

"Can someone please explain to me what's going on?" The boy asked. I turned to Mira, who shrugged.

"I'm sorry, Lucy, but I don't know—"

"Greek gods." Levy intercepted. We turned to her.

"What?" I asked. Suddenly she gasped.

"I've heard the stories! You're like Hercules!"

"Tch. Who hasn't heard of him?"

"Hercu who?" Natsu asked. "Who's that?"

"He was a hero, and he had magical abilities. His mom was human, but his dad..."

"His dad?" We asked. Levy looked at me.
