Declaimer: Let me get a few things out of the way. I do NOT own Fairy Tail or its characters, Hiro Mushima does. Flames will be used to either burn Lisanna or given to Natsu to eat. Not all of the upcoming OC's in this story are mine, most of them are made by a friend of mine and some we worked on together. With that done let's get this story moving!


Prologue: The Start of It All.

It's a normal day at the Heartfilia manor. Jude is in his study working hard to provide for his family. Layla is holding her two year old daughter Lucy, who is all dolled up for the event to come, while her oldest is getting dressed by the maids. Soon a brown haired, green eyed girl, no older than five, comes out in an emerald green ballroom dress with white lace at the bottom, on the sleeves and on the collar of the dress. A white bow rests on the chest of the gown with an emerald broach in the center of it.

"Oh Lily, you look beautiful in your dress." Layla said to her eldest daughter.

"Do I really have to wear this mama? It's just standing for a painting." Lily asked in a lightly irritated tone. She didn't see the point in dressing up. Today the whole family was posing for a portrait. Jude, Layla, Lily and Lucy would be all together to celebrate two years of success for the Heartfilia Railways.

"Yes Lily. This is very important to your father and it's the first painting that will have your sister Lucy in it. Now if you're good, you can hold her for the family portrait." Layla stated gently but firmly.

"Lili!" Lucy added bubbly. Lily smiled at her baby sister. Both siblings adored the other. Lily would play with the younger of the two whenever she could and would cheer her up when Lucy would cry. Lucy, in turn, would follow her loving big sister wherever she went. Whether it is crawling or her new skill of walking, the Heartfilia sisters where rarely seen apart.

"Okay mama, I will be good. It won't be that long right? I was planning on going out to where the other grown-ups stay to pick flowers and make a flower crown for Lucy." Lily said with a smile on her face. Layla smiled at her little lily flower. Ever since she was born eight months after her and Jude's wedding day Lily has loved the outdoors, mostly she had an interest in the various plants that grew.

"There are my three favorite ladies. All dressed up and looking wonderful for today." Jude said as he entered the room. "I have been looking all over for the three of you. Are my girls ready?" He continued. He always had to take a moment and stop every time he saw them. Layla and he had planned on only having one child a few years after they married and had everything set but Lily came to them as a surprise. Yet what a wonderful little surprise she was. Having his mother's green eyes and his father's tree wood brown hair, she was defiantly his darling flower. Not too long after they moved into their new home was Lucy born. He felt truly blessed to have such a family.

"Yes Jude dear, we are all ready." Layla said to her husband with a slight giggle. Once the family was in place with Lily sitting in a big red chair, Lucy sitting on her lap hugging her sister without stopping, Layla to the left and Jude to the right, the painter quickly got to work, not knowing how long the children would hold still for. Three and a half hours had past and the painting was done. Layla had gone in with Lucy after she fell asleep during the painting; Jude was talking with the painter and after Lily had changed into her favorite tan sun dress, made a bolt for the servants' quarters outside to the spot where she knew the prettiest flowers grew. Lily sat down and started to make a flower crown just the way a nice maid taught her, unaware of the stranger sneaking up behind her.

"You're a pretty little thing aren't you? You should sell nicely on the market. Then again the boys could always use a little more eye candy at the mines." The stranger said to get her attention. Just as Lily turned her head around to look at who spoke a sharp pain was felt to the right side of her head and her world went black. She was then picked up and thrown inside a horse drawn carriage filled with other children.

"Lily, it's time to come inside, it's getting late. You can finish your flower crown tomorrow." Jude said plainly as he approached the spot he knew his daughter loved so much. Yet all he saw was a line of flowers of an unfinished crown and a torn piece of cloth from her favorite dress that had snagged on a nail. The crack of a whip was heard followed by the whinny of four horses. Jude ran towards the sound as fast as he could, fearing the worst. Soon the carriage was within sight and he ran with all his might.

"Lily! Return Lily to me at once!" He yelled out to both his oldest daughter and to the carriage. She did not respond and the driver looked back at him.

"Sorry old man but it looks like you will never see your daughter again. Don't worry; we don't want your money, just the girl!" The driver laughed out. He knew there was nothing Jude could do. The carriage holding his daughter was getting farther and farther away. The scared father tripped from his heel going into an unseen gofer hole and fell to the ground. He looked up just to see the criminal take off with a member of his family. One of his children that he, from her birth, silently vowed to look after and protect… and he failed. Just like that, Lily was gone. The next few months he hired person after person to find his daughter. Rune knights, detectives, wizards from various guilds, yet nothing turned up. Any lead he could follow turned into a dead end. Layla was devastated, she didn't know what to do except pray to any god that would listen that her daughter was alive and would find her way home on her own.

The pain of what had happened affected Lucy as well. Every day she would cry when she couldn't find her big sister. Not understanding why she wasn't coming to cheer her up or why she was gone. Lucy was so young and yet she had no choice but to experience how painful loss could be. No one knew how to comfort the grieving family. The separation was not easy on Lily either. She had woken up deep in the forest alone with the carriage destroyed by what looked like a giant claw. She had wandered and wandered till she found Fauna, a nature dragon, who told her that she was the only one in the carriage and the man driving it had run off.

"You should return home as fast as you can. Your family must be worried and miss you." Fauna advised.

"I don't know where my home is, I never learned the address. Papa said I wasn't old enough to leave the estate yet and that I would when I was older." Lily had told the mighty dragon with tears in her eyes. Lily was lost. All she had was a pink heart shaped locket with a picture of her family inside. Fauna couldn't simply let this child head off on her own when she didn't even know where to start looking.

"Then it seems you need to ask the man that took you where you are from. He will surely know. Yet you cannot ask him as you are now. They will not do things because you ask. I shall teach you nature dragon slayer magic. Plants and wood will be yours to control. Fight him to get the information you need. Then and only then will you be able to return home. I will help you track him down, I know of a spell that changes my size so that you can carry me with you on your travels. Are you prepared to learn? Do you have what it takes to find your way back home?" The dragon asked. The road head would be hard but something about this human girl compelled the usually loner dragon to help and have faith in her.

"If it means getting back home to my family I will do whatever it takes. While I am at it I might as well help the other kids that had gotten taken before me. They all have families they need to get home to as well. So I'll do it, I'll become a nature dragon slayer!" 'Hold on mama, papa, Lucy, I will come home. You just need to wait a little while. I'll be back before you know it.' She said with great confidence and thought to herself to sink in her motivation. With Lily set on the path before her, she begins her magic training with Fauna. An unknown destiny awaits her that will have her meet many friends, many foes, and even one day meet the man that will light and rattle the skies and only she can calm the storm within.
