Chapter 7: [celestial spirit magic] x meeting zeref

Albion pov

Next morning

After a good nights sleep, I wake up and taked to my parents about learning [celestial spirit magic] from Anna-sensei. They agreed that it was a good idea to have some celestial spirits as allies. I always did like Aries, maybe I should save her from Karen and Sorano.

I remembered that my [eye magic] seems similar to the senrigan from boruto, perhaps if I train it may be like the senrigan and I can send my consciousness to view distant locations; like using [thought projection]. Maybe I could look into other worlds like Edolas and the Celestial Spirit World.

We are now on our way to meet with Anna-sensei to ask her to teach me [celestial spirit magic], but where would I get celestial spirit keys. After we spot Anna-sensei from the air, we land on the ground and my parents took on their human forms before speaking to Anna-sensei.

Father:"Hello Anna."

Anna:"Hey Veldanava, Selene and Albion. Is there anything you need?"

Mother:"Albion has something that he wants to ask you something."

Anna:"Oh? what is it that you want to ask me?" she asked while looking at me.

After she said that I walked but to her to ask her for my request.

Me:"I want to ask you, could you please teach me [celestal spirit magic]?"

She raised her eyebrows at my request before responding.

Anna:"Why would you want to learn [celestial spirit magic] when you already have [dragon slayer magic]?"

Me:"There may be times where [dragon slayer magic] may not be enough; for example, someone may use a barrier to prevent me from using that type of magic so its best to have other magics just in case."

I remember Freed Justines [enchantments] could prevent someone from using magic within its boundaries. So it is best to have extra options during a battle, but I won't use celestial spirits as tools.

Anna:"What do you think of celestial spirits?" she asked with a look of scrutiny.

I don't blame her for asking my that; she is Lucy's ancestor, so of couse she sees celestial spirits as friends unlike Karen and Sorano. She would not want to teach [celestial spirit magic] to someone who would mistreat them, so I will answer her honestly.

Me:"I think that celestial spirits are living beings, they are not tools."

Anna:"Do you promise to never mistreat them?"

Me:"I promise to never mistreat celestial spirits and I never go back on my word." I said with absolute honesty.

Anna:"Thats good to hear." she said with a smile before continuing. "We can begin tomorrow because we would need [celestial spirit keys] and I don't have any with me."

Me:"I understand Anna-sensei. I look forward to it."

Anna:"I will see you here tomorrow." she said before leaving.

After Anna-sensei left, I began training my [eye magic] to gain mastery over it so I can see what happened to Irene and Belserion. I am pretty sure I know what happened to them but since this is an alternate universe it may have happened differently. Also if it is the same as what happened in the canon then she will have suffered but I have an idea on how to help her.

Next day

After a day of training in my [clairvoyance eyes], which is what I decided to call them, I am able to use the to see far away. However, I have not learned to project my consciousness yet, one step at a time you know.

I was waiting in the same spot as yesterday for Anna-sensei for my [celestial spirit magic] lesson. After waiting for about 10 minutes, I can smell Anna-senseis scent coming toward us. There is another scent on her which could be coming from the keys she found.

Anna:"So you picked up on my scent?"

Me:"Not just your scent, I think I can smell the keys magic power."

Anna:"Interesting. Let's begin the lesson." I nodded ib response before she continued. "Now, in order to use [celestial spirit magic] you need [celestial spirit keys]. There are only two types of keys, gold keys and silver keys. The silver keys are common keys that can be bought at stores. Then there are gold keys that are very rare and opens the gates of the zodiac, but they are needed for the plan to use the the eclipse gate."

It seems that she didn't mention about the black key that opens the gate of the snake charmer, Ophiuchus. The key does exist since Yukino finds that key in the future.

She then takes out a silver key that looks very familiar to me since I've seen the anime and manga.

Anna:"This is the key that opens the gate of the chisel, Caelum. To use this key, you need to say the incantation {open gate of the chisel} then call the name of the spirit your trying to summon. Once you do successfully summon the celestial spirit, you need to work out the contract between you and the summoned spirit. They most important thing is for both sides to hold up their end of the contract." she said as she handed me the silver key.

Me:"I understand sensei." I replied as I accepted the key.

I then turn to the right to use the key, I was planning to keep my promises either way. Like when I said I would defeat Acnologia, I will defeat him but I know that I am not strong enough at the moment. But now it time to make a contract.

Me:"I call upon thee in the world of the celestial spirits, I beckon you to my side at once, pass through the gate." as I was speaking I could feel my magic power flow as I continue." {open gate of the chisel} Caelum."

After I spoke the incantation, the key begins to glow and I hear a door opening and a magic circle in front of the key and something appears before me. The being looks like a sphere made of metal and has lines tracing around its shape with a halo-like circle at the top.

I remember that Caelum spoke by beeping so it might make communication a bit difficuly but I have a couple of ideas. Like me and Caelum learning morse code, but that would take time so for now I'll go for plan B.

Anna:"Looks like the summon was successful. Now you must make a contract."

Me:"Right." I said to Anna-sensei before turning to Caelum and continued. "So you are Caelum right? Beep once for yes and twice for no."

Caelum:"Beep."

Me:"Alright, would you be willing to sign a conrtact with me?"

Caelum:"Beep."

Me:"If I were to need your help in a fight, would you help me?"

Caelum:"Beep."

Me:"Okay, just so you know I can also use magic to make you stronger when we fight together and I don't plan to use you like a tool. You are my new comrade. What do you think Caelum?"

After I said that, Caelum beeped once while tilting up and down as if it was nodding.

(a/n: I use it because Caelum was not mentioned to have a gender.)

Just I was going to say something else I pick up a new scent coming from the my right, and it seemed that Caelum sensed something too since it turned in the same direction and turned into its cannon form.

When the figure came closer I began to recogize him, from one of the past vision and from my past life.

Me:"Caelum wait don't shoot." I stopped Caelum from firing and it turned back into is standby form.

???:"Hello Anna, I see your doing well." he said as his figure revealed to be a black haired wound man.

Anna:"It has been a while Zeref."

Zeref!? Natsus older broghter!? I thought he was working on the eclipse gate right now.

Zeref:"It has, I came to tell you the progress of the eclipse gate." he then turns to Veldanavas human form and contines. "I didn't expect to see you here Veldanava."

Father:"Yeah I guess you haven't heard." he said causing Zeref to rais an eyebrow before continuing. "I am taking part in yours, Annas, and Igneels plans to defeat Acnologia. My child may have the best chance to defeat him."

Zeref had a look of surprise, I guess he didn't expect that father would participate in his plan.

Zeref:"Really? it is surprising that you would say something like that." he then turned to me and continued. "I take it this is your child? I can sense he has a large amount of magic for his age."

Father:"Yes. he is my son. he may even surprise you."

Me:"Hello mister Zeref, my name is Albion Nava. I've learned several [dragon slayer magics] to defeat Acnologia."

Zeref:"Really? what elements?" when I tell him which elements i use he continued. "6 elements, thats impressive. I can see that your learning [celestial spirit magic] as well."

Me:"Yes I am, I am learning other magic in case [dragon slayer magic] becomes unusable."

Zeref:"I see what you mean. Thats a good idea." then he turned to father and continued. "You've found a smart child."

It feels like he's impressed by me learning other magics and impressed at father for finding a child like me. Oh right, I wanted to tell him something.

Me:"Excuse me mister Zeref."

Zeref:"Please just call me Zeref."

Me:"Okay Zeref. I wanted to give you my condolences for everything you've been through."

Zeref:"Did Veldanava tell you about me?" he asked.

Me:"Partially, but a the other day I unlocked an [eye magic] that enabled me to see the past." he had a look of intrigue as I continue. "I saw you and Natsu with your parents, and how they were killed by a dragon. I also saw that you went through when you were first cursed. You went through a lot and I wanted to offer my condolences."

He had a look of shock learning that I saw his past but there is still a look of intrigue since I dont think he heard of my [clairvoyance eyes]. He then came up to me and started to pat my head like I did for Wendy.

Zeref:"You have a kind soul. You've seen what I've been through and I can tell there's no judgement in your eyes."

Me:"I lost my parents too but I was too young to remember their faces and I hardly knew them. But they brought me into this world and I will always be grateful to them. So I will live on for them."

Zeref:"That is very mature of you. I thank you for your help with our plan. is there anything I can do to help you?"

Zeref is offering help me? That's unexpected. But maybe this could work to my advantage.

Me:"Is it possible for you to teach me the [black magic] spell [law] and how to use [living magic]?" I asked the black wizard whose eyes widened at my request.

Zeref:"Are you sure that is all you want?"

Me:"Yes, and it could prove helpful to me in the future."

I thought that [living magic] could be used to help those who have no physical bodies to live again. And I have some ideas on how to use [law] other then how Mavis and Precht used it. So since he offered, I thought I could get him to teach me this magic.

After a few minutes of thinking, Zeref started speaking.

Zeref:"Alright, I can teach you. I look forward to seeing what you do with what I teach." he said with a smile.

Me:"I think you'll be surprised with what I'll do with what you teach me." I said with a smile. I then turned to look at Caelum and continued. "I am sorry for getting distracted. If you want, you can return to the celestial spirit world. I'll give you a good polishing later."

Caelum:"Beep." Caelum said before leaving for the celestial spirit world.

As soon as Caelum left, I turned to zeref and started talking.

Me:"How soon would you like yo begin our lessons Zeref-sensei?"

Zeref:"If it is OK with Anna, we can start today." he said while looking at Anna-sensei.

Anna:"I don't ming, he already learned what I have to teach about [celestial spirit magic]."

Zeref:"Then let's begin the lesson."

I nodded in response. and now we begin the lesson.

Third POV

After watching the their sons lesson with Anna and now startng to learn form, Veldanava and Selene have a conversation with each other.

Veldanava:"I didn't expect Albion to convince Zeref to teach him [law] and [living magic]. The latter reminds me of the power I use to have from the Cardinal World."

Selene:"You would think that the boy would stop impressing us, then he goes and does this."

Then Anna Heartfilia walks up to the dragons and talks to them.

Anna:"I can see why you would be proud of him, it is like he was destined to be a wizard. Most people would't be able to use as many magics as he does."

Veldanava:"Selene ad I were surprised at his affinity for magic."

Selene:"Thanks for teaching our son [celestial spirit magic]."

The dragons showed their appreciation to their friend for teaching their child.

Anna:"Its okay, I don't mind. it seems he has the right mindset to be a celestial wizard."

Selene:"Well he always cared about his friends so thats no surprise." she said and Veldanava nodded in agreement.

Anna:"I get the feeling he will be a great wizard one day."

Veldanava:"Of that, we can all agree."

The three of them kept watch as Albion Nava learns magic from the black wizard himself.
