Prologue.

Year x784. The kingdom of Fiore is in ruins from the successful coup d'état*. The overthrown king has gone into hiding, and the people of the country have rejoiced. King Jude Heartfilia was a selfish king, who only cared about his wellbeing and how well off he was in terms of wealth. Rumors were that he even abused his one and only daughter.

Over the years of his ruling, wizard guilds had formed around the country- in secret, of course. Guilds consisted of wizards and witches, but more commonly in slang known as mages. All mages harnessed some form of magic, such as dragon slayer magic or magic with elemental relation. Each guild had their own guild hall and signature emblem. Some guilds were more powerful than others, but all had the same intention of overthrowing the king.

The king being thrown over had happened sweet and quick. None of the guards were strong enough to hold off the powers of the guilds combined, and were also weak due to malnutrition from the king not paying them enough jewels for food. Every guild had an important part in the plan for the king's demise, some with distracting the guards and the more powerful ones attacked the castle- stealing jewels to spread throughout the people, searching for innocent prisoners, and many more heroic tasks.

Now with the king out of power, the people are receiving better care and reuniting with separated loved ones. The sun is shining, and it's time for a brand new era in the country of Fiore. Even so, a certain wizard is pondering about something odd- when he and his guild had invaded the castle as being the strongest guild in all of Fiore, they had never found a trace of the princess.

Rumors said that she had hair that is bright and lovely blonde, even challenging gold itself in all its glory. Her eyes were of the deepest brown like sweet chocolate, and had a sparkle that nothing could dull. She was beautiful and had the perfect body, yet was modest and kind. She harnessed some of the most powerful types of magic one could only dream of witnessing in a fight but had only trained in secret due to her father's ban against all magic.

All of these made the mage wonder, where did the princess go? Nobody had ever seen her leave the castle before, and he vaguely remembered coming across and pink room covered in a thick layer of dust and the faint scent of strawberries. The room looked like it hadn't been touched for a year, but most would believe that it had belonged to a girl- or most likely the princess.

He gave up trying to figure out where the princess was, it wasn't his problem and all that thinking started to confuse his brain.

"Oi Natsu, did all that fire melt what was left of your brain? Hurry up, the guilds are getting together to celebrate the victory and we're going to be late!" A raven haired teen yelled to the spaced out boy, shaking him out of his thoughts. His onyx eyes narrowed in a challenging way at his rival before he sighed and waved him off.

"Shut up ice princess I was just thinking! Now let's go before they eat all the food!" The pinkette yelled while drooling over the thought of a buffet with hundreds of different types of food.

~at the banquet~

Almost all the guilds had gathered in a large plaza in Crocus where the kingdom had not been far from. The most powerful guilds that had attacked were all over in one part of the area, and the two boys headed over to their guild.

"Natsu, Gray, what took you guys so long?" A gruff voice asked, and they looked over. Leaning against a wall was Laxus, a muscular guy who used lightning dragon slayer magic.

"Aye Natsu! The food's getting cold!" A blue exceed had flew into the Natsu's view, and was holding a large pile of fish. Natsu laughed at his partner's struggle to hold all the fish, then grabbed a few and stuffed them in his mouth.

"Hahahahaha no worries Happy, food is food!" Natsu laughed while spewing food out everywhere from his mouth and some of it landing on a few innocent bystanders.

"Natsu, stop laughing with your mouth full, it's not attractive." A metal head named Gajeel growled while picking out a piece of fish from his long black hair. Natsu just swallowed his large intake of fish and grinned at his guild mates. There were only 8 of them in the whole guild and they are all men, but they still managed to be the strongest attacking guild of them all.

There was Natsu Dragneel who used fire dragon slayer magic and was the master, and his exceed partner Happy. Then there was Natsu's frenemy Gray Fullbuster, an Ice make mage. Gajeel Redfox is a metal dragon slayer with his own exceed named Lily, who could grow in size for quite some time and wielded a sword. Laxus Dreyar was the oldest and used lightning dragon slayer magic, and Elfman Strauss used takeover magic. Last but not least was Jellal Fernandes, who could use lots of magic but mostly used heavenly body magic.

The eight of them together formed the guild Dragon Claw, having the most dragon slayers in their guild. Their emblem was that of a dragon.

In another part of the attacking guilds' area, a group of ironically eight girls sat. They had all changed into some decent formal wear being the ladies they are and due to the irony of their guild name- Princess Mirage. These eight girls made up the second most powerful guild- Lucy Heart, Juvia Lockser, Levy McGarden, Cana Alberona, Wendy Marvell, an exceed named Carla, Mirajane or Mira Strauss, and Erza Scarlet.

Lucy was the master of their guild, and gave off a very powerful magic aura around her. Nobody knew all of her powers- she stuck to using them in front of only the people she trusted. Juvia was a water mage, and Levy used Solid Script magic. Cana used card magic, Mira had takeover powers, and Wendy was a sky dragon slayer. Carla was Wendy's exceed. Erza is famous for her usage of Requip magic where she can harness multiple types of weapons and armors.

For the second strongest guild being all female, they are very well known throughout Fiore. Princess Mirage's emblem was a princess's crown. Lucy was seated between Levy and Juvia, and had noticed the lively all male guild seated next to them. She noticed that they were the famous Dragon Claw, and also a certain pink headed idiot getting food everywhere. How improper. She thought, looking away as for having little to no interest in them.

"Ano, Lu-chan…" Levy whispered next to her, "You have something in your hair. Let me get it out for you!" Lucy sat there silently as Levy pulled a piece of half-chewed fish out of Lucy's bright blonde hair, her dull brown eyes revealing no emotions.

This was how Lucy was around strangers and big crowds- emotionless and quiet. If anyone she didn't know got near her, she would shy away and go to her guild mates. She was considered a goddess for her beauty and perfect body, yet only the other seven members of Princess Mirage knew who she really was. Only around them could Lucy truly be herself and open up, for she had come to trust them.

She glanced over at the pink haired man causing a ruckus next to them, and concluded that he was the reason for chewed fish in her hair. She sighed, it's not like she could stop him from doing it anyways.

"Lucy-san. Are you okay?" Wendy asked politely. Wendy and Lucy were like sisters, as for Wendy being the youngest Lucy felt like she needed to be protected. Lucy gave Wendy a small smile and nodded her head. Soon, everything will be back to normal, except better now that there was no more king ruling over them. Even so, Lucy had no idea how big of an adventure she was soon to be destined on.
