Fate has a funny sense of humor, your sufferings could be blessings in disguise or your blessings could be in fact curses...

"Ow..." Lucy rubbed her head as she looked about the pitch black cavern, "That hurt. Is everyone okay?"

"Aye,z'Happy crawled out from beneath the rubble, "But where's Natsu?".

Crash

"I'm here!" Natsu rubbed his arm as he emerged from behind a pillar.

Lucy's eyes widened when she noticed his bloody arm,

"You're injured!"

"Yep, it'll be okay though, it doesn't even hurt that much..."

Shaking her head, Lucy ripped the pleats off her skirt, "Here." She wrapped the fabric around Natsu's arm.

Natsu grinned forcefully, "Thanks Luce. "

"You've got to be more careful Natsu, you can't keep getting injured like this."

"Guys?" Happy tugged at Natsu's pants to get their attention, "Where are we?"

"I don't know, we just fell through the floor..." Lucy glanced up to the gaping hole above, "It's so dark in here, Natsu can you make us a torch?"

Natsu nodded and flicked his hand...nothing.

"Natsu!?" Happy and Lucy gasped.

Growling slightly, Natsu flipped his hand again...no fire.

"Your magic isn't working?" asked Happy.

"Let me try, STAR DRESS...VIRGO!" Lucy shouted.

"Lucyyyyyyy, I think you're out of magic power." teased Happy.

"SHUT IT CAT, I'VE GOT–" Freezing, Lucy's eyes narrowed, "That's funny, I feel as if something is blocking my magic..."

Suddenly, torches, hanging on the rocky walls of the cavern, ignited.

"Whhaaa–"

Stange symbols solidified in the air behind them, forming a dome that appeared to cover a vast area.

"Wait a minute, these are runes..." Lucy observed, "They must be what's preventing us from using magic, but why?"

"LUCY, LOOK!" Natsu and Happy pointed at huge metal double doors, they were brown and rusty.

"Let's check it out!" Natsu and Happy dashed towards the door

"Wait! We don't know if it's a trap!"

But her words went unheard, Natsu kicked open the doors sending them off their hinges, revealing a large dark room.

"Natsu! Wait!" Lucy hurried after him.

As soon as she entered the room, more torches lit up, illuminating the chamber.

"Wow..." Natsu, Happy, and Lucy trailed off, shelves of files, books and other knacks were neatly stacked in eight aisles.

"It's an archive," Whispered Natsu, "But why the anti-magic spell?"

"Good point," Lucy removed a random book from a shelf, "Maybe there are more to these runes then what we could read." Smiling, Lucy tugged at Natsu's cuff.
