You and Lucy had decided to go out on a mission together, Lucy, being in desperate need of a few extra jewel to pay her rent. The job advertisement was simply along the lines of retrieving a necklace for a rather wealthy family within Fiore. You didn't expect the enemies you encountered to be as strong as they were.

While, at first, your magic was more than enough to take on the foes that tried to stop you. You got tired, and the opposing wizards just kept coming, no matter how many you defeated. As strong as you are, you began to exhaust your magical energy trying to fend all of the wizards off.

It wasn't until you were knocked off of your feet by a mage using fire magic, and slammed into a wall did you start to panic. Luckily for you, that wizard was taking their time, slowly stalking forward, as if mocking you.

"Open, Gate of The Maiden!"

You couldn't comprehend what was happening until a hole opened up under you, plummeting you down a thin, dark gap. It wasn't until you were thrown out of another hole that you realised who had saved you.

Staring down at you was Lucy, in her Aquarius Stardress. She reaches out a hand to help you. "Are you okay? I had to summon Virgo to get you out of there. You aren't hurt, are you?"
