In X792, a year after the guild disbanded, Lucy knew the guild got back together but she was pregnant, so she hid from Natsu's nose, which could smell her anywhere. That was 14 years ago. She had a child, a beautiful girl, and named her Amber. She is 13 years old.
Lucy walked into her room in her and Ambers home in the northern forest. Amber is not allowed in her room because she has all her plans and personal items in there. Especially photos of her friends from Fairy Tail, which are 15 years old now Lucy opens one of the drawers in her desk, and pulls out a map with red markers, then grabs a pen and starts writing her newly acquired information on her notepad. Tears falls down her cheek as she plans to send Amber on an adventure while she trains and takes out all the Zeref zealots in the continent, then The Alvarez Empire. Lucy will meet up with allies, then travel north.
Lucy shoves everything back in her drawer, then turns on the wall light. A pin board lights up, showing photos of the guild, Natsu and her, Team Natsu, Gray stripping, Gajeel and Levy, Erza eating strawberry cake, but her most treasured photo is of her and Natsu sharing a kiss, a full, light, perfect kiss. That was 15 years ago, in X791, now its X816, she has a 13 year old daughter who doesn't know her father, has pink hair and inherited Fire Dragon Slayer magic and Celestial Spirt magic. Sobs escape the single mother's lips, and tear rain down her face. She wants her daughter to have a life filled with love and adventure to the max, and Amber cannot have that if Lucy is always fighting off evil.
"Gate of the Lion I open thee, Leo!" Lucy cries out. Loke appears at her side and he instantly notices her crying.
"Loke, I want to give Amber my keys." Lucy manages to say.
"I understand that you do, but wouldn't you need us on your quest?" He questions.
"Amber has all the necessary training, she can use stardress, open two gates at once, and also I want her to spend more time with you."
"Lucy I-"
"Please, she needs you, I need you to protect her and help her with her upcoming journey." Lucy begs. Loke hesitates, then answers.
"We will do it, but still under your contract."
"Thank you." Lucy whispers, "Thank you." Lucy grabs a leather bag, puts her keys in there, a map of Fiore, all her Fairy Tail photos, except for her treasured one, and a note.
