Soul Mates

Chapter 1- A

Everyone has a soul mate. Everyone has one true love that will act as their other half; ones Ying to their Yang. But, even if there are soul mates in the world, it is impossible to meet each other. People will fall in love, but they will never fully feel invested in their relationship no matter how hard they tried. They will always feel as if they were missing one small piece in their hearts of hearts. When someone does find their one and only, it's the most magical thing. Since it is their other half, once they fully are able to connect, they will begin to read each other's thoughts, be able to complete each other's sentences, know exactly what the other person wanted and felt. The lovers' souls would become two of the same. This applied to the mages also.

The mages were the rulers of the world. They were the kings and queens. The ones that started the rebellions. The ones that everyone listened to first. No matter what, mages were born to lead. Maybe it was because of their powers they gain when they're born; maybe it was because of the generations before them. No one knew why, all they knew was that mages were strong powerful leaders. But how do you become a mage? Your parents had to have been soul mates. That's why they were scarce all over the lands, but when one is born, they are cherished by the town or village, because the people knew they would have someone brilliant to lead them.

Five year old Lucy Heartfilia stared out her window in the palace. The land was filled with streams, lakes, and rivers, but she loved it. This would be her kingdom in the future and she couldn't wait. She knew her father was doing a great job running their small country but he was a bad leader to Lucy. When Lucy becomes queen, she will be more open with her citizens, help them, visit them, and invite them to her castle. She was going to be the funniest, nicest queen in all of Fiore.

Lucy nodded smartly before opening the latch of her window and stepping out. She smiled at the citizens below her. She lived right next to a small town, but behind large walls. She didn't mind because she could still see the people. The town was the largest, since it was next to the castle itself, so there was a big bustle with merchants, and consumers mingling around. She laughed and waved when someone spotted her and they would always smile and wave back.

It wasn't long before someone called out above all the ruckus, "Look, Princess Lucy!" and pointed at the princess. She laughed loudly as everyone turned to her. She waved to everyone and called out a loud 'Hello!' she gave a mock bow and straightened, staring at the sea of people. She was never afraid of crowds, even if she was five. They all stared at her kindly.

She was about to say goodbye to the chattering crowd and go back inside when a tuft of pink stopped her. She stared in confusion as a small petite boy stole two large loaves of bread from a cart. Some must have recognized where she was staring, including the owner of bread, and turned to see the small toddler stuffing his shirt with bread. "Hey, boy!" the vendor said, his eyes bulging in anger. The boy looked up, eyes wide as the man gained on him, his fists clenched. He jumped and ran into the crowd.

Lucy looked around as none of the watchers did anything, just watched as the boy was almost captured. Lucy had to do something, to help him escape. She didn't realize what she was doing before she thrust her hands out and fireworks exploded out of nowhere. Every onlooker, even the vendor looked at them, then her, forgetting about the boy. "Goodbye, everyone!" Lucy cheered as she ran into her room, hopeful that the small pink haired boy was able to get away.

She didn't know why her instincts told her to do as she did. Her father gave her strict instructions to never use her magic, and Lucy knew he would be mad, but the boy looked so helpless and stared at her for split second and she saw the terror in his eyes, even from the distance between them. She thought she even felt, though that would have been impossible.

Virgo, the head maid, opened the door, her thin lips in a small frown. "Princess, did you just do magic?"

"Yes…" Lucy said quietly, her head down. "Why? Your father forbade you to use magic," Virgo said calmly, her arms crossed. "I'm sorry, Virgo. I really am. It's just that… I wanted to help someone," Lucy sniffled as she stared at Virgo. "Who?" Virgo asked, her brows creased. "This boy… he needed help outside the walls… and I helped him," Lucy said, as she stared back at the window. Virgo tsked but said nothing. "Am I in trouble now?" Lucy asked tearfully. "No. Your father isn't here right now and the staff will clean up your mess, though you do deserve a good talking to," Virgo said but she smiled and patted Lucy's shoulder. "Now, don't cause any more trouble. Got it?" Virgo said and left Lucy to go clean up.

Lucy breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. She got away scotch free. She whooped and raced to her books, going to read one when a flash a pink from her window caught her attention. She walked slowly to her large window and stared at the scene. Lucy gasped and slowly opened the door to her small patio. The pink haired boy stared at her, on top a large building that seemed to make them eye to eye. He smiled largely, showing his teeth as he held up the bread. Lucy smiled. He gave her thumbs up and mouthed 'Thank you'. Lucy nodded and mouthed 'Your welcome' and waved at him. He waved back after he put the bread back in his pockets he gave her one last smile before jumping off the building, possibly to another lower one next to it. Lucy smiled before she ran back in when she heard the castle doors open; Virgo and her team of servants were about to clean the mess Lucy made.

Lucy cheered as she ran to her bookcase, picking out a random book and read it, though her mind was still stuck on the pink haired bandit.
