All belongs to Master mashima.
It was pleasant peaceful elegant starry night like always. She had been through her kingdom festival, dancing and celebrating under the stars. For the first time she felt alive. But her Mother summoned her.
She pouted, mother worry about nothing cannot she see I'm fine.
But no. She was princess and should remain careful. She looked at her caretaker and mother's celestial spirit, A celestial spirit and her butler, Sagittarius always ready to help his little lady.
Lucy bit her lips when she entered the Royal hall. She frowned when she saw her mother crest fallen face.
"What happened mother?" she senses the tension arising around the royal ministers.
"Oh Princess Lucy." they bowed.
But her mind was on the table, laying there a map of battle.
"What's this?" she enquires as she saw the symbols of her kingdom between two.
"Lucy" her mother said in low voice.
"Our kingdom is at the edge of upcoming wars between demons, dragons and mages."
Lucy couldn't believe her mother's words.
"Mother. Tell me it's not funny. It's not true." but to her horror, Layla didn't denied.
"We can't escape this I tried but failed. I'm not going to leave my people to suffer. But you are my life. I need to keep you safe." she hugged her to chest.
"No mother I'll not abaddon you." Lucy cried.
"You have to leave. You are the future and only heir of royal celestial bloodline." her mother tried to convince her.
But Lucy Heartfillia has taken a vow to never leave her mother's side after her father died.

It's not like she was never prepared for war. But this was too sudden. They had decided to march when the sun will rise and have their final rest.
They didn't eat anything that night. Lucy looked outside her window. Her kingdom was never the one who harm anyone.
Always smiling and scattering happiness.
She blinked as she felt tears falling from her eyes. She wiped them away but they kept falling. She had to be strong for her mother sake.
She stood and walked outside of her room, down the hallway, she reached in front of enormous golden gates.
She slowly walked inside.
"Mother! Are you awake?" but Layla wasn't on her bed.
She was looking outside of her window.
Lucy went towards her mother and put her arms around her.
Her mother turned and put her head on her lap while her fingers in her golden locks, mirror image of her past pure young version.
"It will be ok my child." she knew enemy was dangerous and cannot be taken lightly.
Lucy straightened up when she felt her mother taking out something, very precious to her.
"I want you to take these keys." As she gave her two golden zodiac keys of Aquarius and Sagittarius.
"But mom I don't know how to handle this yet." she felt het heart crumbling.
"You have to dear." Layla could not bear the thought of something happening to her precious daughter.
They were discussing suddenly there was a loud sound of boom and blood curling scream.
Her eyes widened, they stood and looked outside of window. Everything was on fire.
Demons hurled out of in groups killing innocent peoples.
Layla stood, "You must go. I can not fight with you. You are our future. Go grandma Zara is outside waiting for you."
"But mother I c_can't leave you." Lucy cried.
"I never raised a weak daughter. My blood cannot be this fragile. I believe you to survive anything. But right now you must leave. To save the future, we must protect present. I'm sure the celestial stars will guide you." as she embraced her and kissed her forehead.
" Now go my princess. My pride. My Lucy."
As Lucy unwillingly left her mother. She met her old grandmother Zara outside. She was the only one after her mother watching over her.
She cannot believe this was happening.

Lucy was halfway through the kingdom when she paused, a goblin with hooves was about to kill a young girl. When Lucy threw her dagger at him.
She yelped when he turned. Zara threw a magical dust at him and rescued the girl.
"You cannot be reckless princess." she screamed when Lucy bolted.
"I'm sorry old Mother but I cannot leave my mother and people behind."
Layla was covered in blood as she was still fighting with her last ounce of power.
She wasn't prepared for this, they were ambushed by enemy but her daughter was safe.
"Mother." She cannot be here. She whipped her head around.
"What are you doing here?" she yelled.
Lucy shoved the winged demon aside who clawed her mother.
She was crying when she saw her mother's tattered form.
Lucy gripped her hand and ran towards different direction, tears falling from her eyes.
She felt useless for not being able to help and protect her people, kingdom.
And most importantly, her mother.
She fell down when she stumbled upon a stone, her mother falling behind her.
She screamed in frustration.
"It's ok honey, just leave. You are still young. I've never thought you would be able to feel pain even for once. I failed as a mother and queen."
"N_No Mother. You are everything I could ask for." she gave her mother her keys to summoned her spirit.
But she has lost to much strength and blood to call upon them.
Lucy grind her teeth. I wish, i was stronger then this. She heard shouting and cries but she didn't dare to let go of her mother's hand.

She came to her senses when she saw her beautiful kingdom burned to ashes. Her mother tried to cover her eyes. But everything was futile.
She fell on her knees as her mother still gripping loosely on her. Eyes burning with smoke, lungs suffocating from burning woods.
Flames burning her beautiful home, her mind was in trauma when she saw flames burning her everything.
Her memories, childhood, last moments with her father. Her birthplace.
Fire engulfed everything it touched.
She still wondering, where she would find the strength to move and get forward.
Lucy couldn't find the strength as she felt her mother pulled her.
She blinked and turned and for last time she saw as one of the powerful, ancient magical kingdom was burning in pile of ashes.
Heartfillia kingdom has fallen.
Layla reached when she spotted Zara with other few people of kingdom. But suddenly a desperate cry of help reached her ears.
Demons, mens on horses wearing black dress killing everyone on sight.
Lucy couldn't do anything as she felt something hitting her head and she fell on the ground.
