The Sea Fairies

If you like pirates and the idea of a kick ass crew of ladies owning the seas, you have come to the right place.

I am not an amazing writer, but I do my best.

I hope this story is as good documented as it is in my head.


The sun beat down on her as she journeyed through the vast expanse of golden fields that completely covered the land known as Celestia.

The kingdom of Celestia is vast and revered by all. The land is glorified by ancient legends depicting the ladies in power as ethereal, angelic beings.

It is also rumored that the Royal guard is small, but has the power of an army. The legend states that the royal guard has never changed, for they are believed to be immortal.

Word spread across the land not long ago of the passing of the beloved Queen, Layla, of Celestia. Her husband, King Jude, immediately arranged a marriage for his only daughter.

Princess Lucy of Celestia is the exact image of her deceased mother. The Princess was set to marry the Prince of Alvarez, Natsu, brother to the King of Alvarez, Zeref.

The wedding was only a week from today, but the Princess had other plans. Princess Lucy refused to be a pawn in her father's treaties.

It may seem childish, but their kingdom was in no danger. The King, driven by grief, arranged the marriage to see to it that he had nothing left of Queen Layla.

Lucy knew her father was suffering, but she was no mere trinket to toy with. If he couldn't stand the sight of her, she would be gone her way, not his.

She gathered what she could, a suitcase with some spare clothes, a book or two and some jewel for travel fare.

Her golden tresses whipped around her in the warm wind as she scurried through the tall fields of golden wheat, trying her best to stay away from prying eyes.

The entire Kingdom knew the royal family, she would be spotted instantly if she dared show her face to the public.

Though it was sweltering, she pulled on her hood and stepped out of the rows of gold and onto the dirt road leading out of town.

She had no idea how to travel, no idea how to do anything outside of the castle, really. She couldn't remember ever leaving the walls of the castle.

Celestia, true to legend, held it's mystery by keeping the angelic lady successors hidden behind it's walls, only to be seen during the grand ball once a year.

Once a year, a magnificent celebration was held in the Heartfilia castle to celebrate the young Princess' day of birth. The day an angel was sent to Earth.

Before her passing, Layla was beginning to teach Lucy of the Heartfilia heritage and the origins of their home, Celestia, but time was not on their side.

Layla was unable to successfully inform Lucy of her lineage before she died of a terrible illness. Queen Layla had always been sickly and one harsh winter was all it took.

Among the books Lucy had packed away were the very books her mother entrusted to her before her passing.

Old journals passed down for centuries from one Heartfilia daughter to another. The Heartfilia line was of Maternal lineage.

The men would take on the Heartfilia name out of respect for their prestigious and powerful line.

Heartfilia women were no ordinary women. There was a reason they were revered and exalted above the rest, even to this day.

Legends always have a reason for being born. The legend of the Heartfilia women was no different.

Lucy kept her head down and held her heavy, out of place cloak tightly in place with her spare hand as she toted her suitcase tiredly beside her.

With her eyes on the ground, she didn't pay much mind to her surroundings, trying desperately to keep a low profile.

With a heavy thud, she hit the ground. She had run into something soft and warm.

When peeked up from under her hood, she was met with a gloved hand and a flash of red that reminded her of crimson poppies.

She hesitantly took the hand and stood to her feet. The Princess brushed herself off and reached down for her suitcase.

"I am terribly sorry, ma'am. I wasn't watching where I was going..."

She wasn't used to speaking with outsiders and having so rudely bumped into this strange woman was setting her nerves on edge.

The woman smiled and shook her head graciously.

"No, the fault lies with me, Princess."

Lucy gawked at the woman, her hand shooting up to anxiously search for her hood. It had dropped in the fall.

"Please don't alert the guard!" She begged.

The woman raised a curious brow.

"Why would I alert the guard?"

The Princess pursed her lips and twisted nervously.

"No reason. Forget I spoke of such things."

She waved to the woman and raised her hood once more as she quickly brushed past.

The woman spun on her heels and called out.

"Princess! If I may ask, why are you venturing away from the castle? I was under the impression that such things are rare."

She stopped walking, knowing she had been caught. This woman was a witness. The only way to keep her from revealing her secret was to keep her close.

Slowly, Lucy turned to face her. Now that she really looked at her, the woman, herself, looked like a traveler. She certainly didn't appear to be a citizen of Celestia.

She was tall, fair skinned, dusted with light freckles, the tops of her shoulders, chest and nose lightly tanned from the sun.

Her crimson hair was long and free flowing, complementing her strong, curvy figure.

She wore over the knee, black boots, black pants lined with gold trim, a white peasant top with a black and gold bustier over top.

She had a dark brown leather belt with a holster on either hip that held two sheathed swords.

This woman looked like an adventure and Lucy had a feeling that keeping her close would be one of the greatest decisions of her life.

Lucy confidently approached the woman with a kind smile.

"Indeed, I am the Princess. Can I entrust you with a secret?"

The woman stared down at her with furrowed brows for a moment before slowly nodding.

"King Jude's grief over the loss of my mother has darkened our bond. He wishes to marry me off to the Prince of Alvarez. I shall not stand for it."

Not knowing what to say or do, the woman remained silent, waiting for the princess to continue if she felt the need.

"I am leaving Celestia. If he cannot stand to lay eyes on me then I shall make it so he shan't ever again."

The woman stepped back and crossed her arms.

"Princess, where exactly will you venture? Do you know?"

Lucy smiled and shifted her suitcase to her other hand.

"Perhaps you could aid me in this endeavor?"

The woman's eyes widened and she shook her head.

"A life on the run is no life for a Princess, my lady."

The princess waved a hand in front of her face.

"Nonsense. Please, call me Lucy. If I am fleeing this land, what right do I have to be of any importance to it? What might I call you?"

The woman frowned and rested her hands on her hips.

"I am Erza Scarlet, also known as Titania. What you say may be the case, however, running with a criminal is just so cliche, don't you think, Princess?"

Lucy had never heard of Titania, but she was wanted for crimes against the kingdom of Ishgar.

Erza scarlet had once lived in the Kingdom long ago. She was close friends with the King's adopted son, Jellal.

Things took a rather messy turn when she was 16 years of age. She and Jellal had grown close and fallen in love, but circumstances pulled her away.

Erza was a knight, part of King Makarov's trusted guard. They were in a battle with a rival Kingdom, Edolas when Erza was faced with a painful choice.

Jellal, too was a knight in his father's guard. He never was one to sit by while his comrades risk their lives.

The decision she faced would have ruined her life either way, but at least the way she chose spared Jellal's life.

Erza was forced to choose between Jellal's life or handing over Ishgar's source of power, Lumen Histoire.

She committed treason, giving them all of the necessary information they would need to retrieve Lumen Histoire, all for his life.

Edolas failed in their attempt to take the sacred light. Their guard wiped them out not long after her downfall.

Though Ishgar had won and Lumen Histoire was safe along with Jellal, Erza had still committed treason, falling from grace.

Without so much as an explanation or goodbye, she ran. Even now, at the age of 20, she continues to run.

Lucy pondered her comment, lingering on criminal. Lucy cared not for this fact. By leaving the Kingdom, she, too, was a criminal.

"Cliche, perhaps it may be, but be that as it may, You have just gained yourself a partner in crime, Miss Scarlet."

Erza smirked and shook her head as she turned away to continue on. She waved behind her to the disgraced Princess.

"Well, when you put it that way... Come. I will free you from Celestia, if that is what you wish."

Lucy smiled and nodded as she hurried after the former lady knight.

"Very much so! Thank you,Erza."

Erza smiled to herself and played with the pendant on her chest as they continued onward.

She had been alone for so long. Helping a Princess escape her kingdom would only add more to her bounty, but at least she had someone to share this life with.
