Hello Friends of FanFiction! This is my very first fanfic story so I hope you all like it! Feedback is more than welcome since I am a beginner. This is a story with fairytail characters and slight Falling Kingdoms references. I renounce all character claims to Hiro Mashima and references to Morgan Rhodes.

As the story goes on and more secrets are revealed I will write a chart of what each kingdom is. Also coming back and reading the first two chapters I wrote after writing seven (hello this is current me talking about past me..?) I will say the story gets much better by chapter three. Thank you and enjoy!

Prologue:

Lucy POV

My last memory was falling. My body plummeting faster and faster as the wings on my back refused work, refused to soar as they had so many times. The wind was not caressing my skin with its usual softness, but was whipping with a harshness that promised more pain to come.

I watched as the sky became not a part of my surroundings, but an unreachable painting that was so beautiful, sorrow took hold in my chest. Would I ever be a part of the sky again? I knew nothing of why I was falling, but one thing I knew was that the sky was home, a home that was becoming further and further away.

The wind's promise came true as my body met earth. Pain crashed in every bone and the nerves in my body zinged with agony. I lay there waiting for myself to die, but the ringing in my ears softened as a bell-like voice enveloped me.

"Hey! Are you okay? Hey! Talk to me please!"

I willed myself to open my eyes, not caring about the harsh light that met them. I could feel myself slipping away. So this is what it's like. This is what its like to die. Before I let the darkness take me, I caught a glimpse of bright sapphire hair. Then everything faded to black.

Chapter 1

Levy POV

A sigh escapes my lips. I finally escaped. The tutors my father forces me to listen to are dime-witted and arrogant at best. Like most people I encounter in the castle. I would much rather research on my own in the library or go exploring in the lush woods all around the kingdom of Edhelos, the land of elves.

I continued on the path to reach my favorite spot: a clearing in the trees that, that reminded me of paintings of heaven. The sun washed the grass in gold and the trees swayed with the serenading wind. Lowering myself on the grass patch in the sun, I was glad to have evaded my new tutor, who reminded me of a persistent mosquito, with his high-pitched buzz and bug-eye glasses.

My sulking was soon interrupted by a soft tapping inside the thumb-sized locket around my neck.

"Oh, silly me, you probably want to be out don't you?" I smiled as I opened the locket and a flutter of white wings and golden hair stumbled out into the open space. I was met with a very angry look from the tiny hin en vilya, or child of air as my people call the creatures of myth. It was believed that the hini en vilya were there at the beginning of time, and now watch over us like guardian angels, but of course that was all fantasy. My friend was one of a kind, but her being was a mystery.

Still being glared at I let out the smile that was locked away all day, "I'm sorry Luce, I promise to let you out as soon as I'm alone next time okay?" Satisfied with my answer, Lucy flaps her little wings to an open spot. Then, in a flash of light, she returned to her normal size.

I took the moment to take in my friend's beauty. Many around Edhelos often refer to me as the Sapphire Princess, the brightest gem of the kingdom, but whenever I studied Lucy I often wondered what the kingdom would say If they saw her.

Like the sun on the grass, Lucy's hair was a precious gold, which was not a color found in hair in any of the three kingdoms. Her pale skin that always had pink glow to it and her warm chocolate eyes still would have made her seem like an angel, even if she didn't have the large white wings that often fell around her like a soft feathered cape.

I didn't notice that as I was watching Lucy, she was watching back with an all too amused expression.

"What?" I asked innocently.

Lucy waved her finger in the air as words formed in front of me: You were staring at my wings again.

My eyes roll with much-needed sass, "Well, someone needs to figure out where you came from!" Lucy just froze at that, then looked down, but not quick enough for me to not see the sad glint in her eyes.

"Im sorry…" I tried to soothe, "Do you really not remember anything yet? It's been four years."

Lucy just shook her head. I felt guilt ride up my chest; I didn't mean to bring it up. It seemed forever ago, when I saw a flash of white falling from the sky. Following where it landed I had found Lucy, all bloodied and barely alive. I took her to my room in secret and nursed her back to health for a month until she was able to walk around. She never spoke, but then I realized she couldn't. Her voice was gone, along with whatever she lost when she landed on this world. I decided to teach her some of the script magic I had invented. We elves are known for our knack with magic and I was surprised she caught on pretty quickly. From then on, she became my secret friend. The only magic she knew from her memory loss was her shrinking magic, which she used to hide herself from anyone and everyone who wasn't me.

"Luce, why do you not show yourself to people?" I asked, though I enjoyed having someone who only relied on me: the beautiful princess who is spoiled and weak.

Lucy's face warms into a smile as she waves her finger in the air: You are my best friend, are you not? She turns her gaze to the clouds as she continues to write: Besides, the less people know about me the better.

Before I could respond, my pointed ears twitched to the sound of footsteps drawing near. With the speed of light, Lucy shrank back to her pixie size, but only had the time to hide in my hair before our unwelcome guest stepped into the clearing.

I knew my heightened nose recognized the scent of alcohol before Bacchus was sauntering my way with a smile I was all too familiar with. I wasn't in the mood for his games.

"Well hello Levy, or may I say your highness?" If it wasn't for his scent, his speech would have given away that he was definitely, without a doubt, flat-drunk.

"Please Bacchus, you never used formalities when we were kids, so why start now?" I turned to leave, but was caught by his quick hand.

"If I didn't know better I would think you've been avoiding me, but of course that isn't true because why would Princess Levy ever avoid her betrothed?" I shudder as his eyes roam up and down my body. He was never like this when we were kids, in fact we were very close, but since the day we got betrothed and his parents actually started paying attention to his daily routines, he has become a lot freer with his hands and more of a slave to alcohol. "Lucky me," he drawls as he wraps a strand of my hair around his finger, "To have the sapphire princess at my beck and call." I pull away before he could bring my hair up to his lips.

"I don't want to play your games today Bacchus, now if you would let me go; I have my studies to get to." I state, while silently willing ticked-off Lucy to not rip my hair out and attack the man.

Bacchus lets out a sharp laugh and pulls me against him. His rancid breathe allowing me no room to breathe. "Come on Levy, you used to be the life of the party! Say, why don't we visit Kelvedor and pick up some fresh wine like we used to?"

I struggle against his grip, "I don't want to go to the beast kingdom, let me go!" But before I could protest more, Bacchus pulls out a glass marble from his pocket. I recognized the swirling silver ball and my heart sank.

"Where did you get that? There are only supposed to be a few left in the whole continent." I asked with hopefully a stead voice.

Bacchus just winks at me, "We all have secrets Princess." with that he smashes the marble to the ground and light surrounds us, leaving nothing but empty space in our wake.

Darn that Drunken Bacchus!

P.S. I don't actually hate Bacchus, but the story called for it! Until next time!
