Lucy was the princess of Magnolia, the once beautiful place in all of Fiore it was more lively then, until her father died when she was 10 she's now 17. Actually he was murdered, and Lucy was the only one who knew who did it. Hades the new king and her new "Father." Since then Magnolia fell into darkness and became known as the dark city. It was literally dark. So dark you couldn't see the sun or the blue sky. Instead it was an eternal night. Like a giant barrier that formed only around the area of Magnolia. Since her father died, that was the last day anyone saw the sky. No one can enter the city or leave it. They were helpless. Sitting ducks waiting for the dark king to get to them and kill them. She was alone since he became king. Her mother died before her father from a illness. She wanted to leave escape but there was no where to go to, and she had her duties as the future queen of Magnolia. She had to take down Hades. She had to prove he was evil. No everyone knew he was evil, no one would care if he was murdered right?

Lucy tried avoiding her " Father at all costs. He was the worst man she knew. No he was the worst man in the universe. He'd grab some random people in town and made them his servants. If he was mad or displeased he'd torture them until they died. It made her scared and angry, knowing that innocent people were getting hurt and she couldn't stop him. She was only the princess and had no power. Not yet. Lucy slowly opened the door to her room. A shout could be heard down the corner. Slowly and quietly she walked towards the shouts. Peering through the slightly opened door of the room she saw Hades leaning over a pink haired boy who was sitting in front of him. Hades was slightly grinning, and not the happy type of grin, the wicked type of grin one that said ' Your so dead' grin. But the boy was also grinning but his was the happy kind like ' Your so weird' grin. She opened the door a little wider so she could see, but not wide for them to notice her. As she looked in closer she noticed that the pink haired boy was actually tied up to a chair behind him. The rope was so tight his hands were bleeding. Did he not feel pain?

" So, boy this is the fifth time disobeying me." Hades said.

" Yup, and it won't be the last, I won't stop even if its the hundredth time." The boy replied. 'Jeez what did this kid do?" Lucy thought.

" It seems you like being beaten."

"The more you hit me the more I'll get use to it."

Ignoring the boy he went on, " This time you ruined a valuable and expensive room. somehow it was burned and you," He pointed an accusing finger at the pink haired boy," were there. Therefor only you are responsible."

"Actually it's your fault. Maybe if you weren't the all mighty king things would go smoothly and I wouldn't be doing this."

The king lost it, Lucy closed her eyes as a loud CRACK echoed across the room. Hades was standing over him holding a whip. The pink haired boy slightly winced from the sting that came from his right side of his face. Somehow to Lucy he was different from the other servants. He didn't moan in pain, cry, or freak out and he definitely didn't say sorry over and over again. He was just sitting there smiling.

" What are you smiling at boy?" Hades growled.

" That barley hurt. Your so weak."

A vein popped on Hades forehead, " You insolent brat!" He yelled bringing the whip down whacking the side of the boys face once again. It bled a little. The boy was still grinning. 'Does he have a death wish or something?' Lucy thought. Seeing the boy smile made Hades angrier, he continued to hit the boy over and over until the small cut turned into a somewhat deep gash. The boy finally winced.

" Ow, okay that hurt."

" Guards." Hades said. The guards that were in the room moved toward the boy spears pointed at him. Lucy didn't want to see someone die. She charged in.

" Master please don't hurt him!" Lucy cried.

" What are you doing here? I told you never to bother me when I'm working." Hades growled angrily.

" You'll kill him! I won't allow it!" Lucy screamed.

" He is a servant what use does he have for you?"

" He can be my servant."

Hades laughed. " I'll never let a dirty little brat be your servant, he's far to violent, he may look innocent but he's like a ruthless killer."

'Your one to talk.' Lucy thought. She wanted to say that, but saying that was a like asking to be put to death, he'd kill her even if she's a princess. He'd kill anyone who opposed him. With that he slammed the boys head into the wall, the force of the blow made the wall behind him break, a stream of blood trickled down the side of his head, knocking him out. Lucy gasped. Hades walked toward the door the guards following him.

" I'll be back." He said before leaving. The room was finally quiet. She hurried over to the boy who was still unconscious panicking she tried to see if he was alright, but the door to the room slammed opened. Five guards walked in past Lucy and grabbed the boy by the arms dragging him through the room.

" What are you doing?" Lucy yelled.

" We have orders to throw him in the cell until further notice." One guard answered and disappeared through the door. Lucy sat down on the floor. She thought for a moment before running after the guards. The prison dungeon underneath the castle was dark. No ones been down here for ages, being thrown in it is said to be the worst time of your life, you'd go crazy from the darkness, and start to believe you see ghosts. She waited for the guards to leave before she went up to the cell which the boy was thrown in. She squinted in the dark trying to see.

" Hey, are you okay?" She whispered. She could see the boy move.

" Yeah." He gasped.

" You don't sound okay."

He paused. "I guess. Anyway why did you come in? Who are you?"

" I think its more polite if you introduce yourself first, but I'm Lucy Heartfilia princess of Magnolia daughter of Jude Heartfilia former king. I came her because I saw you in that room, your a servant here right? How long have you been here?"

" Not long a week maybe. Wait your the princess?"

" Mm-hmm." Lucy nodded," My new father is the one that caused all this, the darkness, the countless deaths, you know?"

" Yeah I've heard from the other servants, there so scared they could wet there pants."

Lucy laughed, " You didn't say who you were yet."

" Oh. I'm Natsu Dragneel, Fire dragon slayer and half dragon." Natsu said smirking, but then grimaced at the pain from the side of his face and head.

" Your a wizard? And your half dragon? I didn't know dragons actually existed." Lucy said. Natsu looked at her like she was crazy.

" Well they do , my mom and dad were full dragons, but since the darkness in the town came along I couldn't find them." Natsu said frowning. Suddenly he slumped forward falling face first on the ground.

" Natsu?" He didn't answer. " I'll be back." She whispered running off. She came back with bandages, and ointment. She got the keys from one guard after persuading him that she wouldn't let him free. She went in and tried to but failed to lift him on the bed. Instead she turned him over so she can fix him up.


The next day she went to visit Natsu in the dungeons. He was awake sitting in front of the bars of the cell. When he saw her he smiled lightly. She smiled back.

" We never finished our conversation last night." Lucy said.

" Yeah."

" So, Hades brought you here right, and you burned a room? And that wasn't even the first time? Are you crazy."

" Maybe, And that last time, you didn't need to come, I was fine."

" Right and that was exactly why you passed out with one blow and they went unconscious."

" That wasn't from the blow you know. You know how many meals you get a day as a servant here? One. I'm so hungry I could eat a field full of cows. Besides I'm a wizard and half dragon remember?"

" I still can't believe dragons exist."

" You don't know?"

" Know what?"

" That-"

A creaking sound of the door from the distance of the dark dungeon sounded as two guards walked in and bowed to Lucy.

" M'Lady we are to escort you and the servant to the king's chambers."

Lucy looked at Natsu who shrugged.

" Why?"

" I don't know M'Lady but its important."

" Alright. Come on Natsu."

They followed the guards out the dungeon up three stories of stairs to the top where the king stayed. The top room was more clean than the lower two. The big difference was that instead of the original blue and white color it was a dark purple and black color. It was clean and all but it looked more like a haunted mansion. The guards who escorted them stood by the door and opened it, lowering in a bow as Lucy and Natsu walked in. Hades had completly got rid of all her fathers belongings except the crown of course. He never let it out of his sight. It was like he was afraid someone would steal his identity as king. He kept his most trusted guards in the room to watch over it while he was gone so that no one would come snooping around to find anything they shouldn't.

" Ah Lucy there you are." Hades said with a fake smile.

" Yes. You wanted to speak to us?"

" Yes, That servant, " He pointed at Natsu in disgust, " If he is ever seen with you talking instead of whatever it is he's suppose to do he will be killed."

" Yes Master." Lucy said obediently.

" Now get him out of my sight." He waved them away.

Lucy and Natsu left the room.

" Sire are you really going to kill him?" One guard asked.

" What does it matter to you? Now I need you to keep watch on him. Report anything he does. I will make a decision on what to do with him."

" Yes sire."

" Now what should you do?" Hades asked the other guard.
