Starting from the beginning

Lucy's POV

It was a long time ago. I had place to live, friends to be surrounding by. The future was starting to bring brightness into my life. However, it came crashing down. Zeref's Army came and destroys Ishgar in one fell swoop. It was something that I never expected to happen like this.

When I came to, I was in the infirmary. All bandage up and my stomach was hurting so much. I look around to see if the other were alive. And then, I realized that the enemy was after our guild's secret weapon, Fairy Heart. Not only that, the king of the dragon himself, Acnologia made his presence known as well.

"I see you're awaken, Fairy Tail mage." Someone said to me. I look up and saw a woman in her thirties. Having brown long hair and green hair eyes, she can be easily mistaken for Cana. "Allow me to introduce myself. My name's Sara Dawn. I work under the council."

"Why are you here? "

"We're searching for one of the four Gods of Ishgar God Serena. One of members spotted him. But, he was taken out by Zeref's magic."

"Do you know where my comrades are?"

She shook her head. "Afraid not, dear. I get the feeling that they…"

"No…No No No No…No! Don't tell me that they are dead. I refuse to believe that." I yelled at her, griping the sheets.

"I've to go find them. I've to…" As I was leaping out of the bed. The pain started to kick in and fell onto the floor. Dawn tries to help me, but I push her away. "Erza, Gray, Wendy, Gajeel…" Then my eyes started to get burry. "Laxus…Juvia…Mira… Happy…" Then, I drift away into sleep from the pain. "Natsu."

2 weeks later

I was on a carriage heading to the next city. I held on to my keys and look at my guild on my hand. I mediate on what happened five days ago. I was still in my bed when someone paid me a visit. I t was the Celestial Spirit King in human form. I was in shock. What was he doing here? Let alone, I summon him once. He stated that he was really happy to see me again.

Moreover, he came here to explain the aftermath of the war. The enemy fled back to their homeland. Everyone lived to fight another day. Some people lost their limbs. While the others were dead. I ask him about Fairy Heart. He told me that it was gone missing. Moreover, the dragon of despair disappeared as well.

This was beginning to bewilder me. He further explains that about Natsu. He became what many people feared. A demon. I look at the king. My heart was broken in two. He said that he went insane and went on a full rampage on the city and killed innocent people. I didn't want to listen at all. But the more I listen, the deeper my heart ached. Tears fall from my eyes as my friend face appeared in my mind.

"Old friend. I believe that you can bring him around. I see in your determination and hope to bring back to the way it was." He said.

"But, I don't know where to start." I told him as wipe the tear from my eyes.

"Just start from the beginning. Find your friends that are still alive ask them for assistance or help them. Practice on your magic more. It'll be rough for you; but, I believe in you." He handed me something, and it was Natsu's scarf. I hug it and his words made me feel better and encourage me.

"Thank you, Sprit King." I look at him with determination in my eyes.

He smiled. "Well, then. I'll give you a special key that will help you on your journey." A bright light shine on the palm of my hands. And then, it went into my key bag. "I wish you well and good luck. Oh, and Aquarius told me this to you.

"If you keep acting like a crybaby, you'll never have a boyfriend."

An anger rushed inside of me as King went back to the Celestial Spirit World. But then, I smiled and slightly chuckled. Of course, she's worried for me even though, she isn't there. But now, I know there's no time to waste.

Six day later, I was fully healed, and I went on my way. Sara explains to me that some of my friends were being held in an infirmary somewhere north of here. She said a carriage will take me halfway. While the rest, I've to walk on foot.

The carriage came to a complete stop. "Ma'am, this is a far as I can take you." The rider said to me.

I got off as the man went on his way. I walked a 4 mile walk to the town called Fuchsia where the infirmary is. But when I got there, it was heavily damage. Houses were torn into. Fire was still burning in the houses and the air was bad, it almost smells like chemicals. I slowly went into the town.

More troops and healers were already station to help out the sick. I look over my right and see a young man chest bleeding and a healer treating that wound. I look up as water mages hosing down the fires.

Then, I look at building that was still standing and came across a couple crying. I went over here and saw their child scared and bruised. They turned to me when they saw my face.

"I'm just traveler. I couldn't help but notice your child." I said to him.

The mother looked at her son. "He was playing outside with his friends. And the next thing we know and fire explosion rain down on the town." She stated sadly. A tear falls from her eye and on the boy's face.

"I don't understand why. We haven't done anything wrong to deserve this." They look back at their child as they continued to cry. Again, my heart sank in sadness. They were right. Who could've done all of this?

I continued on until I reached into the infirmary. There I see countless of people in beds being treated. And the place was almost full. Some people had to sleep outside just waiting for a bed.

There was someone I spotted in the center of the room; they had the guild of Sabertooth. It was the twin Dragon slayers Sting and Rogue.

"Sting! Rogue!" I yelled.

"Lucy!" said Sting as he turned and recognized my voice. "What you doing here?' He asked. "We overheard what happened at your town."

"We would have been able to help you, if it wasn't our homeland being under attack." Said Rogue.

"I came to find one of my friends. One of the troopers told me that they would be here." I explained.

Their facial expressions were woeful as they looked at me. They both knew something bad happen to my friends.

"What happened?" I ask.

"It's better if you we show it to you. Follow us." Sting said to me. So, I followed them to where they are heading.

As they opened to the room, I went inside and my mind was point blank. I couldn't believe it. From that point, I wanted to scream to the top of my lungs. In the bed, I see my friends Gajeel and Levy.
