Chapter 5: Ancient Zodiac

Sphere she started to shine with dim blue glow when the fire steams nearly reached her although there were still slowing down with each passing second. Inferno cursed and surrounding both hands with fire started walking straight into the freezing zone. At first he felt nothing but after a while he felt extremely severe cold crusting skin on arms and then the rest of the body.
"You lost," slowly, unable to speak quickly because of the cold brings about the reigning around him, so hard and every with each passing second even harder to do each move and even talk, he commented when two sinuous streams of fire finally hit her engulfing her in the explosion, which unfortunately almost immediately extinguished. Although he seen thru water vapor formed from condensation of the air that she breathe, that she was burned in several places, but still stood steadfast with her arms outstretched to the sides with a mocking smile on her face.
At that time, Lucy reached to the keys and taking one said. "Open the Gate of the Golden Bull! Taurus!" The huge bull came just in time covering his owner from injury by ice arrows. Natsu sucking some air with the roar melted without much difficulty missile flying at him.
“I’ll melt your face with that smile on it and then the rest of you!!!" He shouted, stopping in front of her and as soon as he could he bring together both hands. He felt a sharp pain in his arms when muscles working were moving his hands. Each breath was becoming almost immediately after leaving his mouth an ice mist and he could feel like with each passing second temperature around him and ice slayer was falling lower and lower. He didn’t know how far she was able to reduce the temperature but he once survived such attack so he knew the danger of not doing anything now to kill her. Although he wanted to howl with pain that was caused by moving any part of his body he couldn’t stop now...
"Fire Dragon’s Brilliant Flame." After making contact between burning hands formed fireball that even inside freezing sphere shined brightly. But his joy was short-lived when the flames stopped spread and then started to quickly fade.
"You bitch," he swore as he started feeling the cold penetrate the skin, reaching to the bone. Although he has made efforts again his body refused to respond being too frozen, so he stopped in a bizarre pose. In the middle of the fall on his knees literally his whole body froze and all he could hear was the beating of two hearts, his and hers. When her was beating like crazy his was slowing down with each stroke...
Once you have thought it was the end, sphere suddenly started to dissipate and disappear. Do not hindered finally fell to his knees and leaning on the arms he looked at her. Her body was still for a moment in the previous pose until she closed his eyes almost fully, drops to the ground and using up the last of the energies made one last thing: pull out of pocket dimension a small size bag.
"You didn’t melt my face but I froze yours...," she muttered with a barely audible voice, barely uttering each word so that only two fire dragon slayers heard it and a moment later she lost consciousness.
At a time when Kanna and Inferno still remains in a clash of their spells, rest stand still captivated by the beauty of a clash of powerful spells. Feeling the power those flows from spells their even slightly move back not want to be too close when it will finish. However Dragneel decided not to go step back and only enveloped his body with flames, however, when the sphere began to approach him, he felt the cold breeze flowing from it. And when at the last moment before the dispersion it touched his flame with a surprise noticed that in those places his flames began to fade and he felt in those spots cold piercing his body.
"Natsu next to you," Lucy yelled at him as he looked seeing lying near to him object. However both ice mages also looked in the same place. The giant mage turned in that direction and with great difficulty arose from the kneeling position. Without waiting pink-haired mage started moving when Inferno blocked his way.
"So now you want to die in battle with me as she did?" laughed taller mage and attacked with his left hand. "Fire Dragon’s Iron Fist."
"Fire Dragon’s Flame Elbow," countered without thinking Natsu and their fists clashed. But then happened an unexpected thing. First there was a faint crack and then giant mage felt a huge pain in the whole arm, which quickly disappeared. Having made a step back he grabbed his aching hand, however, it began to fall apart. Part below place he grab his arm flew down and fall apart into several small pieces, leaving only turned white pieces of bone surrounded by a mass of frozen soft tissues of his hand.
"Time for revenge. Fire Dragon’s Iron Fist," Natsu grinned and punched with his fist surrounded by flames with great force into underbelly of a giant mage knocking him to the ground. Falling down he was trying to support with his left arm but it proved fatal when another part of arm fell off, leaving a small stump ending the upper left limb. The rest of the forearm as previously had fallen apart into many frozen soft tissue fragments and a piece of bleached bone. Without the support he hit with his back into the ground and lost consciousness.
"Another down," Happy said proudly seeing a huge dragon slayer fell and didn’t move. At this moment air next to Natsu cut through several ice arrows, which fortunately missed its target.
'Damn, my magic power begins to wane,' thought short mage again aiming at fire slayer and releasing another series of arrows. During this time Heartfilia ordered celestial spirit to attack and he began to converge toward the taller mage. Also the mage also started to feel the effects of exhaust but still dashed toward lying bag. With a corner of his eye seeing a charging bull created an ice shield quickly and dived straight reaching out hand. Taurus without much of a problem cut in half the ice barrier and jumped into the air. Noting that in last moment tall mage withdrew his hand quickly and rolling sideway avoided almost millimeters when the blade that marked ground next to him.
"Ice-Make: Ice Geyser," said short mage on what Lucy looked anxiously at her foots, however ice tower started to grow next to the caster. Gathering some of his remaining strength jumped at it and again, this time aimed bow at her not her friend, and released a series of noticeably larger arrows. Instinctively, blonde-haired mage tightened grasp on the held scythe and thought again about the scales. A spell in the blink of an eye surrounded her with a blue protective layer preventing from taking any injuries.
"Lucy!" Taurus roared turning and leaving the current enemy he had fought and moved toward short mage. Stopping near the tower with great force hit it with his axe, making it crumble into several pieces.
"Oh not so fast," tall mage touched the ground. "Ice-Make: Floor."
The spell caused a large area around him to be covered with a thin layer of ice and so the salamander and celestial spirit lost balance falling down. The tall mage walking on all fours slowly began to approach laying not far from him bag.
"I got it," shouted a tall mage but reaching for a trophy overturned and instead of grabbing just pushed it over the ice. "Oh, shit."
"I'll catch it," Happy spread his wings and flew toward the bag, which stopped close to the edge of ice slab. But just when he was reaching to it took off to avoid ice arrows that fired at him short ice mage. Then Lucy tried to cautiously enter the ice to reach unfortunately she slipped and falling down before her she dropped the weapon she held, which started to slide over to ice.
"Curious coincidence," laughed tall mage when scythe stopped almost in front of him. Reaching for it tried to use any spell but swinging it nothing happened, except that it cut through the air.
"You already broke it?" He thought about it aloud not noticing as sliding on the ice in his direction was approaching Natsu. Seeing it in last moment only instinctively he blocked with a held weapon fire mage blow. At the same time Taurus leaning on his axe impaled into the ground stood up and looked around noticing almost next to him object, for who everyone was currently still trying to grasp. But when he tried to reach it was a bit too far for him.
"Fire Dragon’s Iron Fist," Dragneel hit the ice melting part of the sheet around him and then standing a bit more confident on the ground gave a blow aiming at the tall mage side, which has blocked it again using the weapon he held.
"I have," was pleased small exceed slowly rising form the ice with a bag.
"I guess not," short mage sent a dozen ice arrows at the blue cat not with the intent to hurt him but just to make him dropped held object, when Happy managed to throw held object in the direction of a blonde mage avoiding attack.
"Finally," Lucy was glad when she was able to catch flying toward her bag. Short mage already aimed at her to shoot several arrows, when a loud scream interrupted him. Everyone turned in the direction where the sound came from seeing Inferno, who was leaning on his right hand. Although his legs covered with a thin layer of ice that was beginning to cover the lower part of the trunk, his burning eyes was filled with a pure madness.
"I'll take you all with me to hell and I'll start with you," he laughed insanely and began to take the air, turning in the direction of a blonde mage. Natsu turned and with flames surrounding his fist rushed in the direction of a giant mage. It was then that he heard the whistle of cut air and instinctively stopped when an object at high speed flew in front of him. It hit the right shoulder of Inferno making body part it hit literally shattered into pieces of a frozen body. Deprived of connection with the rest of his body right arm dropped to the ground and there on it appeared few fissures before it crumbled like the other arm of fire slayer a couple minutes ago. Ice growing on the body of a giant he was at the height of his neck.
"It is impossible, impossible. I'm immor...," he didn’t finish the sentence when his face covered a layer of ice and he flew back. When he hit the ground ice began to crumble leaving together with pieces of his skin and exposing in places where it dropped out of the body under skin tissue of lifeless body Inferno. Once again through air went the second object impaling into ground almost before short mage and turn out to be a giant labrys.
"Damn," he cursed under his breath seeing how from the nearby bushes flew out of a chain and wrapped around an axe handle, which moment before deprived giant dragon slayer of his arm, he used majority of remaining magical energy he had to cast the last spell.
"Ice-make: Rampart," he created a massive wall of ice when a weapon pulled by a person holding the other end of the chain glided back into the bushes.
"Retreat," he shouted to his only still alive subordinate and they fled regardless of whether the stranger would attack again or not with labrys.
'Angel will be very, very angry,' thought taller mage seeing bleak face of his boss. The second attempt was a failure and this time only two of them escaped with their lives.
When their ran away from behind the bushes where the turns road leading to the nearby Hargeon run a tall young woman with black hair, green eyes, an average figure dressed in a black tunic. Not paying attention to the others she ran straight toward still lying motionless Kanna and leaning over her putting aside axe she held after a moment to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, she's still alive although a slightly burned," she said seems to itself. Arose and fetched free hand in the direction of a nearby labrys and chain that appeared around the forearm flew towards weapon wrapping around the handle. Pulling gently she drew him to her and then stuck both weapons to the leather belts that ran diagonally across her back and were connected below her collar bones.
"Who are you?" Lucy asked hesitantly when Natsu surrounded his hands with flames ready to attack.
"Madea?" They heard Taurus voice, which slowly approached the stranger. For a moment, their glances meat.
"You know each other?" Heartfilia was a bit surprised.
"You could say that," said the big bull and stopped feeling the eyes Black Fury on him.
"Are you able to keep him in this world a little longer?" Madea narrowed her eyes looking in the direction of a blonde mage. "And you don’t look at me that way. I'm not your enemy," she glanced at fire mage.
"I guess. Why do you ask?"
The dark-haired woman replied when Natsu still looking at her suspiciously extinguished the flames. "Someone has to carry up her to the city and I'm not going to bother with that. I just been send to make sure that she’s all well."
She turned and began to slowly move away from them. "And if I find out later Taurus that you done any perverted acts toward Kanna we’ll talk when meet in our world."
After these words she disappeared around the bend. Celestial spirit swallowed approaching Kanna
Grab her gently and lifted from the ground. For a moment Lucy noticed in his eyes that gleam which he had usually talking about protecting a perfect body of it owner. Then she began realize to understand the warning of black-haired woman. In fact the current look golden-haired mage could provoke a big bull to some obscene thoughts.
"Let's go and finish this job," she said smiled and looked around noticing several weapons lying around randomly, the remaining ice and occasional traces of fire. At this time, Yagyu hardly opened slightly eyelid.
"Is .. is he dead?" She asked with a barely audible voice.
"Yes. I killed him," proudly stated Natsu looking toward the remains of the giant.
"I would like to believe that it’s true." She said while moving slightly hand made one by one sword started to rise and soar toward her and then disappear into the pocket dimension. Then she did the same thing with a scythe, which was abandoned by a running away tall mage. Making sure that nothing was forgotten their slowly moved ahead.
"Who is that Madea?" Lucy asked as they walked part of the way.
"This a celestial spirit. Quite strong although still considered strongest among his brothers and sisters of the Zodiac." Said Taurus and then he stopped giving the impression as if inadvertently said something.
"Zodiac? I've Never heard of this spirit," she mused seeing clearly how uncomfortable felt now her spirit.
"Possible. She belongs not to Ecliptic but Ancient Zodiac," he said quietly after a moment hesitation as if he was afraid that someone beside them will hear him.
"Ancient zodiac? Did you know by chance anything about Nyana?" She asked for what his eyes immediately turned into the heart.
"Nyana... She has such a soft fur... of course also has a perfect body," the great bull started daydreaming. "Although not as perfect as Dragon Empress."
"Dragon Empress. You mean a dragon?" Natsu intervened.
"Yes. Though she can take dragon form if it’s needed," said Taurus.
"Great," rubbing his hands with glee Dragneel. "How can I found her?"
"Find her? First you had to find a mage who made contract with her otherwise you would have to look for her in celestial spirits world." Laughed large bull. "
"I've been there once. Nothing hard," grinned Natsu.
"Have you forgotten that you were lucky then," Lucy scolded him. "Besides, people can’t survive long in that world."
"Ahh, I forgot," scratched his head fire mage but a moment later he came up with another idea, "so I’ll find the mage."
"Mage, which would make a contract with her must first meet her requirements," said mysteriously Taurus.
"Can you put me?" Kanna asked quietly. "I think I can walk the rest of the way on my own."
Gently placing her on the ground the celestial spirit bowed and vanished.
"Maybe I slightly overestimated myself," said Yagyu staggered and would have fallen if not for Natsu who was near and helped her to stay straight. "I’m sorry to be such trouble for you."
"It's nothing, let's go," said pink-haired mage and their all continued walking. Only Lucy felt strange seeing as Kanna walked leaning on her friend. Another fifteen minutes passed in silence, which ended when they entered the city. Feeling a bit better a golden-haired mage already walked on her own without paying attention to looks with which glanced at her passing by men.
"Here," she said when they stopped in front of one of the houses. She went to the door and knocked. For a long moment nothing happened and then doors opened the old butler. Seeing the golden-haired mage he sighed with relief.
"Ahh. It's good to see miss in good condition," he pulled away slightly to allow them to enter inside. "Should I go get some clothes for you to allow take off the armor? Also I will bring some badges and medicines to tend your wounds."
"It would be nice of you Alfred," said Yagyu and when she started walk added. "Yet it would be good if there was a little ice. That would make better for my wounds than any medicines"
"I'll see if anything was left," said the servant and disappeared in one of the nearby doors. In meantime Kanna led blonde-haired mage, pink-haired mage and small cat to the spacious living room.
"What's wrong?" asked golden-haired mage seeing Natsu looking around.
"Again, I feel a strange smell here. Quite similar to yours," he said, and looked at her. "You can feel it right?"
"Of course. But there is nothing to worry about because of that, am I right fire dragon slayer?" She laughed. "Because you're one as I could notice during the journey."
"I don’t know yet. This is quite a strong smell not like your but kind of belonged to someone like you," he said still looking tense. On the other hand he wanted to meet that dragon slayer, who seemed to be very strong, judging from the smell that prevailed in the place where he lived. Even now he felt that he was somewhere in the house.
"And what about Nyana? She was supposed to be here?" Lucy tried to change the subject.
"Nyan, nyaan, nyannn," she heard in response coming from somewhere in the neighborhood of armchair where now sat Kanna. A moment later the cat with two tails and carmine hair jumped on it.
"Kitty," Happy laughed and started to run toward him.
"Nyyyyyan," snarled and bristled hair cat.
"I would better not try to approach her now," the voice came to them from the doors direction. In them was standing a man of medium height wearing a black tuxedo. The only odd thing was the end of the tail covered with brown hair, which was appearing on one then other of his side.
"Why?" Blue cat stopped and looked at the newcomer.
"She saying that you will get scratch if you again try comes near her. Probably still not over when you stomped on her tail. Am I right Black Fury?" He asked me in the direction of a person who has just entered the room.
"Of course," said black-haired woman. "Nyana is quite sensitive about her tails."
"Nyana?" Happy looked puzzled. He knew they had to meet someone with that name but what it did do with the cat, who apparently threatened him with scratching. Mentioned cat jumped down from the back of the chair, on which it previously sat directly in front of exceed and began to shine.
"They talk about me," this time the cat has spoken with a female voice and began to change assuming the appearance very similar to Kanna current, mainly because of quite feminine shapes, except for a few differences. She had cat eyes, cat shaped ears, whiskers on her cheeks and forehead and behind was slow moving two tails. She was wearing a bikini top, short skirt, high boots and fingerless gloves reaching to the elbows. Top also covered by the mesh blouse reaching slightly above the navel and the whole outfit was black.
"Nyana the Nekomanta?" involuntarily said Lucy.
"Huh. Know my name?" Nyana was surprised.
"I've heard about you," said the blonde-haired mage.
"Hmm, now it does not sounds strange to me Taurus comments," with a mysterious smile said celestial cat spirit looking at Heartfilia from head to toe.
"Say what?" Lucy felt her face turning red.
"He always like to mention the perfect body of the owner of his key, which he’s ready to defend at all costs," laughed brown-haired man, "even the appearance of your... hmm appearance of your brea…" he interrupted when the black-haired woman hit him with her elbow in the side. "For what Madea?"
"You always can’t behave properly around people Zin Xiao. Stupid monkey," commented a bit embarrassed Black Fury.
"Well and so their starting again," Nyana lifted one eyebrow slightly. But she calmed down, seeing as pushing both celestial spirits aside came into the room next person. Natsu immediately looked at him. Something about him looked familiar. Extremely high, with visible even under his clothes, which he wore developed musculature, long golden hair falling freely, and red eyes. In his hand without any tray or anything else he was holding several pieces of ice shaped like different fruits. Stopping next to Kanna gave them to her and started move back when she grabbed his hand.
"Thank you, darling," she said, and gave him tender look, which he returned with a smile and gently freed from her grip walked across the room and disappeared in the door. Soon after him two celestial spirits left the room too.
"Who was that?" asked Dragneel staring intently at the Yagyu, which just started to eat pieces of ice, which brought her a tall man. It was his scent that was spreading around the house. Scent accompanying a very strong dragon slayer. For a while he even had the idea to try to begin to fight with him to see which one is stronger.
"It is difficult to determine who he is. Any particular reason why you asked me about him?" She replyed in between bites.
"It smells pretty much the same as you. Yet it is more powerful than yours," said Natsu looking back at Lucy, who gradually ceased to blush.
"So you're a cat or a human?" Happy wondered looking up at woman towering over him now.
"This is nothing surprising. He’s dragon slayer like you or me," she said as if it were something completely normal starting to eat the last piece of ice. Her wounds caused by fire was slowly healing.
"None of them," laughed crimson-haired woman and looked toward Lucy. "Think it's time you went with me to the next room. Unless you don’t want get reward."
"I want," said blonde-haired mage and got up moving towards pointed door by feline spirit. Natsu and Happy immediately headed for it but both ran into an invisible wall.
"Nyana only invited your friend. Until she come back I'll keep you company," said calmlyKanna and with hand gesture motioned them to sit in the seats.
"Okay but if I hear something that threatens Lucy you won’t stop me," said Dragneel and slowly returned to his seat. At that time Nyana and Lucy went into the next room. In it Heartfilia saw two figures that have seen before in door leading to the corridor in the next room. At the other end of the room she noticed the chair with bed and a small stool next to it. A little further on there was a second bed and all the furniture was richly decorated giving the impression expensive. Next to one wall has been matching the rest a medium-size table on which she saw a partially filled bag. Then she also noticed that someone was sitting in the chair.
"Please make yourself comfortable," said the man showing her standing next to her second chair as decorated as this one, on which he sat himself. "Ah that true. Zin Xiao would you mind move a little closer chair?"
"Of course, Arik-sama," said the man with the monkey's tail and fulfills a request.
"Oh I almost forgot," Arik rose from his chair and walking toward Lucy took her hand and lifting it kissed it gently. "I forgot about manners. My father would strongly scolded me if he would see that."
"I'm Arik Raven," he let go of her hand and sat back in his chair. "And at the same time how to put it simple mage, which has a contract with Nyana so indirectly, the person for who you with your friends fulfilled job request."
"Lucy Heartfilia," presented herself blonde-haired mage. She felt a little awkward now and perhaps this was only due to that he apparently was raised as gentleman.
"So doing the job we worked all the time for you?" She said, sitting down on a chair.
"Of course. So before I move on to talk about the choices I have for you, let finish the job," he looked at the Nyana. "Please give Miss Heartfillia reward for completing job and receive an item that I've heard she so bravely defended during the journey."
"With pleasure," said the cat spirit and walking toward the table took the bag, walked over to Lucy, who handed her a bag she had slung over his shoulder, taking the other one. Nyana pulled out a small bundle and put the rest on the table. Throwing wrapped object to Arik slowly walked over to futher standing sofa and lay down on it. Stretching she released a low growl and shut partially her eyes. The other two people moved and did the same. Madea in a similar pose lay down on the sofa closer to Raven looking warily at him as if expecting a prompt. Zin sat down on a stool in a pose which adopt usually monkeys. Not passed a moment before he changed position.
"What kind of propose do you want to talk to me?" Lucy asked from time to time looking at the other three people slowly remembering something.
"Well, yes. Since we’re alone," he smiled mysteriously. "Think we don’t have much time before your dragon slayer friend doesn’t try overheard us. Which he actually fail of anyway."
"Alone?" She looked suspiciously at others present in the room.
"Oh, you mean them. Did you ever think that your celestial spirits are a stranger or someone to whom you can have secrets?" He asked, getting up and walking over to the feline spirit.
"Yes, I am a celestial spirits mage as you could probably just guessed and it's my celestial spirits," he ran his hand through Nyana hair and she answered with a low feline growl. "Nyana the Nekomanta."
He walked a bit and moved with a hand over black-haired woman arm. "Madea the Black Fury."
Another was that keep changing from time to time position man with a tail. "And of course Zin Xiao the Monkey King."
"As you can see, Miss Hearfilia just the two of us aren’t celestial spirits in this room, so ironically this conversation IS face to face," he sat back in his chair slowly unraveling material from bundle, which gave him earlier Nyana.
‘Three spirits at the same time? It’s really exhausting for a mage,’ Lucy suddenly realized that man before her was keeping summoned so many spirits. He started to catch her interest in a purely professional way to put it simply, because she doesn’t yet met any other celestial mage capable of summon another spirit when the previous one hasn’t been unsummoned.
"Do you know what this is?" He rose up a bit shining in the rays of light flowing into the room a small object. Then he threw it at her.
"But it’s," she couldn’t believe my eyes, "archer key know also as Sagittarius. One of the golden keys." Could it be the last day she protected golden key? She felt a small pin of pain realizing that, unfortunately, the key belong to the other mage in this room. She looked at the three spirits finally realizing that betrayed some strange habits. Nyana had something feline in her, Madea looked like a faithful dog waiting at her master feet and Zin... he was restless like a monkey.
"And that is what is at the core of my proposal. What would you do to get the golden key for yourself? What would you sacrifice?" Blue-haired man looked at her and her eyes met the gaze of his blue eyes.
"I do not know. Each stellar mage would give a lot for another golden key," she started to wonder what did suppose to mean his question. What really wanted this mysterious mage? What was the aim of this conversation? Show of his magic power or something more?
"Two million of jewels and other key?" Asked surprising her. "This key and two million jewels for another key that would interest me? Does it sound like a fair trade?"
That surprised her. He wanted to give her the key she held and even pay extra. But in exchange for what? Another key and then the Crux warning sounded in her head. It was THAT mage.
"One of the keys that I have?" She asked hesitantly trying not to betray nervousness.
"Of course not. I do know that the bond between the mage and the spirit can be broken without the death of the mage but I'm talking about a key that hasn’t been used yet in other words, the spirit that doesn’t have a contract with any stellar mage. Please consider my proposal," he got up from his chair and looked at the Zin and Nyana. They both understood the nonverbal gesture and bowed then dissapeared.
"Madea, would you kindly before coming back to celestial world show our guest a piece of your power?" asked with kind and sensitive voice looking at the black-haired woman.
"Of course," she said and sat down on the edge of the sofa. No more than a second take her to change in more than ten feet height beast resembling a combination of wolf and man covered with a black hair. After that she bowed and disappeared.
"As you can see I don’t lack strong spirits, with whom I have made contracts so far. However, I'm still only human and can’t be in several places at once. That’s why I think that the prospect of losing the golden key in exchange for the opportunity to gain a different key, which will allow me to save another mage from death is a small price," stopped in front of the window and looked out.
"Protect the mage from death" She asked, surprised by the fact that any stellar spirit can kill mage.
"This is the key to the spirit of the Ancient Zodiac," in his hand materialized platinum key. "Mages sometimes confuse it with the usual silver one and trying to call the spirit in order to make the contract. However, these spirits have requirements that can be deadly for the mages."
"What do you mean?" She asked looking at the key held by Arik. In fact in the light coming through the window it looked very similar to the silver key. Moreover the difference wasn’t so great that she could mistake it for silver key.
"Calling and maintenance presence of these spirits in our world at the beginning is an enormous burden for the mage before his relationship with the spirit doesn’t deepen and may fast exhaust its magical energy. Probably you are aware of what it means exhaustion of magical energy for a celestial mage when he had just summoned the spirit to help him in the execution of tasks, for example, fight for it. Only with time due to deepening the ties with the spirit amount of energy consumed to maintain the spirit starts to drop to an acceptable level. But the first couple times of summoning the spirit is a critical moment in the establishing relationship between them, "careless gesture made key disappeared in the pocket dimension.

Next chapter: Rebirth

A/N: Well to not make some of you rage or whatever you may plan after this chapter: ancient zodiac spirits are in such relation to ecliptic like fire magic to fire dragon slayer magic but call them Lost zodiac. To emphase their keys represent lost magic holder type items I though word lost sound lame, right? Lost magic are as far I notice set as part of ancient spells so Lost Zodiac ends be renamed to current one version. Well had 2 maybe 3 other ideas but some was too similar to Ecliptic (Apocalyptic) or sound not enough FT-ish (Ragnarok) or just kinda way I not though will fit to use that as theme name (Armageddon). As for spirits themself they using chinese zodiac signs (and though dragon(ess) should be their leader like lion is among their *cough* younger brothers/sisters) Oh did I meantion that 2 more ancient zodiac spirits will be at least meantioned in next chapter? If not then act I didn't said it to keep it suprise for yourself ^^
A/N v2: Those who may cry over poor Inferno don't cry...yet. He may come back in some way later (even if in flashbacks ^^) and also we got some glimpses of other dragon slayer that will in future make Natsu think more about nature of his own magic *evil smile* ^-_-^ Oh and Nyana key is silver one not platinum :P
