I walked through the grass the ends of it tickling my feet as I approached the forest of Vitae, the spring breeze wrapping over me like a thin blanket. The forest towering over me shimmering with life, with each step the forest seemed to open up welcoming me inside. The rain dropping from the trees shimmering on the leaves making them almost glow with beauty. Enclosing the little clearing that separated between the shrine and the forest of knobby old trees dwarfed any others I could remember. From the edge of the open land, I could see smaller trees were draped with moss that filled the spaces between them. Rising from the forest floor in the midst of giant firs, emerald and jade-colored ferns some taller than me as I pushed beyond the clearing behind me. The forest was unexpectedly quit, I could hear nothing but a few birds call and cracking sounds.
As I approached a tree from what I could tell was the tallest in the forest as Mama and papa used to call it 'The Guardian tree.' I crouched down on the damp grass when I approached it, " ex ignem dracones, fratre principis tenebrarum, Etherious Natsu Dragneel, COME FORWARD!" I spoke as I sparked the tree setting it aflame, the flames danced up the tree claiming every inch of it. The flames as quickly as it pranced up shrank in size as it carved the aflame tree to the form of a demon, the face of a demon appeared in the fire it staring boredly at the one who summoned it. "Human girl" it spoke in a deep voice, "Why has thou summoned thy?" I stood to my feet staring determined at the flame that I could not but gape at its beauty, "Demon, I Lucy Heartfilia the Shrine Maiden To thou's power have come forth to thou in search of only that of happiness and peace."
I suppose at this point I should explain, you see my name is Lucy Heartfilia, my family was quite known for its riches and shrine. With me being there only child once they passed on to the afterlife I became the shrine keeper. Soon after the God of the shrine left mysteriously, a godlike fire demon took its place. The ones who prayed at the shrine felt horrified to the thought of a demon ruling a holy shrine becoming cautious of it. Throughout the ruff times I have held out praying to the demon attempting to summon him, failing each time. Until now...
