---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Albion POV
Kuroka, Leo and I are in a room after finishing our meal and apparently Leo was banished from the celestial spirit world because he didn't help Karen from having her keys taken by me. But since Karen is still alive, Leos banishment is only temporary, only about 2 years and 6 months. I remembered from the canon timeline that Leo was able to stay in the human world for 3 years before almost dying until Lucy convinced the celestial spirit king to let him back into the celestial spirit world.
Of course Kuroka enjoyed her meal and it was nice to not have to deal with guild master Bob while I try to enjoy my meal. After we finish our meal we went to one of the rooms we will be staying at for the night, my and Kurokas room to be precise. This is because I am going to form a contract with Aries and have a chat with her before going to sleep. As soon as we got to the room Kuroka flew to the bed, curled into a ball and fell asleep.
"Hey Albion. Promise me that you'll take good care of Aries. She is like a little sister to me." I hear Leo call out to me as I took out Aries key.
"Really Leo, what made you think that I wouldn't take care of Aries. I thought you knew me bettter than that." I replied with a small smirk on my face causing Leo to chuckle.
"Fair point."
"But I get where you are coming from, after what Karen put Aries through. I promise to take good care of Aries."
"Thanks." Leo said
I then point the golden key in front of me before saying the incantation.
"[Open Gate of the Ram: Aries]."
I then hear the sound of a bell and a door opening while a glowing magic circle appeared in front of me. When the glow faded, a girl with pink hair, brown eyes and a pair of twisted horns on her head, wearing clothes that have a white and fluffy wool-like getup. She's just as cute as in the anime.
"Hello, are you the one who summoned me?" Aries asked while looking at me with a gentle and shy expression.
"Yes, and don't worry I am not like Karen.My name is Albion and the cat sleeping on the bed is Kuroka. I won't treat you like she did. And In case your wondering, she is alive; I used my [celestial law] to sever her contract with you and Leo." I said to reassure her.
"I see, what happens if she finds another celestial spirit key?" Aries asked in a concerned tone.
"It won't do her any good, my spell not only forcfully terminates my targest contracts with their current celestial spirit it also makes the targets unable to use [celestial spirit magic] again. So even if she gets a silver key, she won't be able to use it but she can learn other magics." I told her
"That is good to hear." she said with a relieved expression.
I don't know if she is relieved for her fellow celestial spirits or for Karen despite everything she did to her. I remember that Aries was known for being kind and gentle and shy.
"I would like to form a contract with you. I won't use you as a shield and unles it is a dire emergency I won't force you to fight. I may summon you just to have conversations but I won't put you in any unnecessary danger. I know you can fight if it came down to it but I have no intention of forcing you to do what you don't want to. I can easily fight on my own but I couldn't leave you with wizard like Karen who treats you as a tool rather then a comrade. " I told her my intensions.
When I said that she seemed surprised that I wasn't going to force her to fight. I then notice that tears start to form in her eyes.
"I... I've never... seen such... kindness." she tried to say while sobbing.
So I walked up to her and hugged her and patted the back of her head to comfort her.
"It's okay, You don't have to worry. If I need your help, I will be sure to summon you but you are not a tool, you are a living being and deserve to be treated like one." After I said that, she wrapped her hands around me in a tight hug while she continued to sob.
She stopped sobbing after 10 minutes and she looked alittle embarrassed with a slightly red face.
"Sorry for showing such a shameful and embarrassing side of me." she said whie bowing her head.
"You have nothing to apologize for. It is okay to cry if you ned to release your pent up feelings. Besides you look cute when your embarrassed." I said the last part to tease her alittle causing her face to become a more flushed before I reached out my hand to her and continued. "I look forward to working with you Aries."
"I look forward to working with you too." she said as she took my hand and we sealed our contract.
"Tomorrow I will return to the Heartfilia estate, it is the home of a friend of mine who comes from a long line of celestial wizards. Like me, they see the celestial spirits as living beings rather then tools, especially their youngest member Lucy Heartfilia who is younger than me. She is contracted to Aquarius and Cancer. I know she would be happy to meet you." I told her the plan for tomorrow
"I see... Well I look forward to meeting her." she said while I notice that she seemed nervous at the thought of meeting Lucy.
"Well meeting Lucy won't happen until tomorrow. So until then you can rest in the Celestial Spirit World."
"I understand mister Albion, see you tomorrow." Aries said before she returned to the celestial spirit world.
Damn, she left before I could tell her not to call me mister. I am too young to be called mister.
"Well looks like that went well." Leo said as he got up and headed toward the door. "I'll head to my room good night Albion."
"Good night Leo."
After Leo left the room, I went to the bed and see Kuroka still curled into a ball sleeping. I start to pet her fur while she sleeping and that resulted in her purring. The sound of her purring made me feel at ease causing me to have a slight smile.
I then layed down on the bed and close my eyes and fall asleep after everything that happened today.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
next morning
I start to open my eyes from the light coming through the window and feel a weight on my chest. I see Kuroka curled up on my chest sleeping peacefully; she must have moved last night after I went to sleep.
About 3 minutes after I wake up, I notice Kuroka stiring and she raised her head with a sleepy look on her face as she opened her eyes.
"Good morning Albion" she said while yawning.
"Morning Kuroka." I responded before continuing. "I need to get up please."
"Okay." She said as she lazily got up and tumbled to my riht and landed on the bed.
"Thanks." I said as I got up and stretched.
After I finished my stretching, I picked up a sleepy Kuroka and carried her to the lobby to find Leo sitting at a table.
"Morning Albion. Morning Kuroka." Leo greeted us.
""Morning Leo."" we answered.
When we sat down at the table, I notice that Leo had a thoughtful look on his face.
"Actually about that, I have thought about what to do with my time in the human world until my sentence ends." he said with serious tone in his voice.
"What are you going to do?" I asked.
"I have decided to travel around and maybe join another wizard guild.I just... need to get away from Karen and Blue Pegasus for a while." Leo answered with a determined look on his face.
"I can understand that. I was at the Blue Pegasus guild hall for a few minutes and I already want to get as far away as possible and as soon as possible." I said half joking, remembering Master Bob creeping me out sending shivers up my spine.
My response cause Leo to chuckle lightly as he continued.
"Also going by 'Leo' may raise some flags so I decided to go by 'Loke'. What do you two think?" he asked me and Kuroka.
I tried to suppress my chuckling since I reemember that in the canon timeline, he went by 'Loke' in the human world after Karen died on her suicide mission. When I hear his name in my past life, I think of 'Loki', the god of mischief in Norse Mythology. Considering that I have an idea of what he may do with is time in the human world, the nnamee makes sense.
"I think the name suites you." I said truthfully.
"I agree." said Kuroka.
"Thanks." said Leo, now being called Loke.
"Here is your order." said a young waitress carrying a tray filled with food; pancakes, eggs and bacon, sausage and egg sandwich.
"Thanks beautiful." Loke said with a bright smile causing the waitress to blush.
'Damn this guy works fast.' I thought to myself as I see Loke flirting with the waitress.
After the waitress left the table, we began to eat our breakfast. I notice him still checking out the waitress.
After we finish eating, we went to our rooms to pack up our things and we meet infront of the tavern.
"Well this is where we part ways for now." I said to Loke.
"Yeah, we'll meet again. Maybe we'll end up in the same guild." Loke responded.
"Who knows." Kuroka said with a small smirk on my face
"See you later guys." said the celestial spirit.
"See you later Loke." I said before bringing my hand up and continued."[Andata] take me and Kuroka to the Heartfilia estate."
After I said that, my dimension ärm [andata] drained me of my magic power and sent me and Kuroka to the Heartlila estate.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Third point of view
After saying what sounded like an incantation, both Albion and Kuroka disappeared in an instant. This caused Leo, now known as Loke, to have a look of surprise since he never say a magic item like that before.
"He always finds a way to surprise me." Loke says with a small smile on his face once the surprise wore off.
He then turned around and began to leave the town and travel on his own.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Albion point of vew
In an instant, I see the Heartfilia estate infront of us and before we could take a single step the door opened and a young girl with blonde hair ran out and hugged me.
"You came back." said the young Lucy Heartfilia with a bright smile on her face.
"I promised I would didn't I?" I said while patting her head causing her to giggle slightly.
"It is good to see you two get along." I hear another voice from the door and see Lucy's mom Layla.
"Hey miss Layla I brought a new friend to meet you and Lucy." I said to Layla.
"Oh who is this friend?" asked Layla.
After Layla asked her question, I pulled out a familiar golden key causing them to open their eyes with shock.
"[Open gate of the ram; Aries]." I said while holding the golden key and a familiar figure appeared in front of us.
"H-hello, you must be miss Layla and miss lucy. Its a pleasure to meet you." said Aries with a nervous tone in her voice and bowed at the end.
I look at Lucy to see that her eyes were full of stars and sparkles.
"So cool!! Your one of the Zodiac Spirits! You look so cute and fluffy!" Shouted a very excited Lucy, causing me to chuckle slightly seeing Lucy act like a kid in a candy store.
While Lucy was having a field day talking to Aries and Kuroka, I notice that Layla got closer to me and started talking to me.
"So you formed a contract with Aries, you better take care of of her and Lucy."
"I already planned to take care of Aries but why are you talking about Lucy?" I asked Layla why she was mentioning Lucy.
The was she mentioned Lucy in that statement made a certian thought cross my mind that I had nearly forgotten about. Lucy will grow to be as beautiful as her mother and in my past life there were some female characters from fairy tail anime that I was attracted to but since my life has been busy with training and planning for future threats I had almost forgotten those feelings.
"I won't live forever and I want to make sure that there is someone who will look after my daughter. I have a feeling that my husband, her father, will not be able to do that. But my mothers intuition is telling me that you will be able to take care of Lucy." said Layla with a concerned look at the start and a sincere smile at the end.
When she said that, it made me concerned since what she is saying sounds like she raising a flag.
I knew rom the anime that she was already weakened beforre opening the eclipse gate, but thanks to my asking mother to bring Grammy to her with Aquarius's key she didn't get magic deficiency syndrome.
'Now that I think of it, if she didn't get magic deficiency syndrome, would she still die before the series began?' I thought to myself.
While I don't want to think of Layla, I will be sincere with her about Lucy.
"I know that I havent known Lucy for long, but I have grown to care for her. I promise that I will take care of her when the time comes. and I will continue training so I will be strong enough to protect her when she needs it." I said to Layla while watching Lucy having fun with Aries and Kuroka.
"Thanks Albion, that means alot to me." she said with a meaningful smile on her face.
It was at that moment that I strengthened my resolve to get stronger and to keep my promise to Layla.
